Sandbox / This Citadel Is Truly Blessed

This Citadel is Truly Blessed is a series of mpreg-centric domestic drama Touken Ranbu fanfictions written by NEDtheNerd. As of this writing, it consists of five installments:

• ''The Fox and the Moon'': The first installment, in which Mikazuki Munechika is shocked to discover that he is somehow pregnant by his longtime lover Kogitsunemaru. Noticeably Lighter and Softer than later installments, though not entirely without angst, depicting little moments in their journey up until the birth of this miraculous child. Ran from September 4, 2017, to May 26, 2018. Completed.
  • There is Nothing More Brilliant Than a Setting Sun: Direct sequel to the above, focusing on cute fluffy moments with Mikazuki and Kogitsunemaru's young son Nichibotsune. Abandoned as of November 13, 2018.
• The Fear of a Child's Cry: Souza Saimonji must cope with being caught between his former lover and a one-night stand he had as a rebound when he finds himself the second Touken Danshi to fall pregnant. Ran from June 8, 2018, to June 7, 2019. Completed.
• Shining Stars: Sequel to There is Nothing More Brilliant Than a Setting Sun, overlaps chronologically with the above. More fluff with the KogiMika family, with another addition on the way. Abandoned after one chapter on September 3, 2019.
• Kanesada Family Values: Takes place after The Fear of a Child's Cry.

The author has created an official Tumblr blog for the series here. Be warned that it contains spoilers for the entire series.

Spoilers are left unmarked up to the end of the first installment.

This series contains examples of:

• Genre Shift: From simple fluff to domestic drama with fluffy moments.
• Law of Inverse Fertility: In full force for every couple except Mikazuki and Kogitsunemaru. Let us count the ways:
• Little Bit Beastly: Kogitsunemaru has actual fox ears in this series, with instincts to match. His son Nichibotsune not only inherits his ears but has a fox tail as well.
• R-Rated Opening: The first chapter of the first installment is a Lemon scene between Mikazuki and Kogitsunemaru, which is notably the only sex scene in the entire series.
• Series Mascot: Ari, Nichibotsune's kitsune doll. Nichibotsune himself, really.
• Surprise Pregnancy: For everyone affected, for obvious reasons.
