The heavy rain pattering on the leaves masks all other sounds, putting Izo on edge. Is someone following? Are they footsteps? Or is it just the endless rain?

Hello. I hope your health is generally good now. It's great that the dojo is closer now. You also said that... you could try to offer something. I'm... to be honest, I'm very unsure. When you released the softrber, I was very touched by it. A sad ending for Okita. А... could I ask you to draw it in a modern-day setting? A kind of AU, perhaps? When he's not dying slowly alone in a house, but in a hospital, recovering. Waiting to be discharged and eating the sweets Saito brought him.
Thank you for your kind note. 🥰 My health is... well, not great, but also not awful. It's alright, I guess.
I'm glad you enjoyed the Comfortember story, even though it had a sad ending. I've always said I don't do modern AUs, but when I thought about your request, the picture of Soji with a longcat pillow came to mind, and once I have an idea, it can be hard to let go of it. 💦
So I've made a sketch. I will probably finish it but there's so much going on in the background here that it's going to take some time.
Soji is based on Yamada Ryosuke, who plays Soji in Moeyo Ken, and Saito is based on Odagiri Jo, who plays Saito in the NHK Shinsengumi! series.
By the way, M1koo on AO3 (@sayitcanonlybeme here on Tumblr) is writing an isekai story where Soji and Hijikata end up in modern day and Soji gets to recover. It's only a chapter so far, but you can find it here.

I hope this will display correctly with the transparent background. In case it doesn't, a version with a white background is under the cut, along with a lineart-only version, in case anyone would like to color him themselves.

A little gift for @sayitcanonlybeme, who kindly allowed me to nitpick historical bits in her lovely Whumptober fic, "Fireflies and the Plum Tree". (Which is very NSFW, you've been warned.)

I’m back (after writing a 55 pg fic so far). I’m trying to wrap my head around Soji’s timeline and pouring over the timeline you have posted.
In September 1867 Soji becomes seriously ill - does he stay with the Shinsengumi still during that time I’m guessing?
January 1868 - I assume he went to Osaka for the battle of Toba-Fushimi but he doesn’t take part in it? He stays behind with Kondo who was shot in the shoulder?
February 4 - they sail to Edo, and I assume Soji is with them? And this is his first time on a ship?
Feb? ?? - Okita’s sister Mitsu and Okita Rintaro left (which I’m guessing they were in contact and it’s unknown how they parted)
February 28ish - This is when Soji goes to Matsumoto Ryojin’s clinic and is staying at Matsumoto’s house at Imado shrine.
March 24 - so a month later the Shinsengumi goes to Kofu Castle and stays in Hino which is still in Edo where I’m guessing Soji gets bad/feverish and can’t travel so this is actually where they officially leave him at Uekiya Heigoro’s house? In the “site of Okita Souji’s death” post you say it was the end of February when he moved there (which would be a month prior to this when he was going to Matsumoto’s clinic - so I just want to clarify that it was around the end of March that Okita moved to Heigoro’s house.
Sometime in March (before the 28th) - the Shinsengumi visits Soji and he smiles and doesn’t let them know how sick he is so they won’t worry.
March 28-April 25 - the shinsengumi are pretty much all around Edo until Kondo is beheaded in May and Hijikata gets injured at the Battle of Utsunomiya Castle - Where does Hijikata go?
July 19 - *sobs* we lose him. So he’s at the house alone and suffering from end of March to July? 4 months. And in those four months, he did visit Kondo’s wife Tsune and daughter Tama at Joganji Temple in Nakano (when was this?).
Let me know if I missed anything we know about Soji here as well!
Thank you so much and super grateful. I want to learn as much as I can and flesh out the timeline a bit so I can fully understand what he experienced and how he lived up until the end.
Hi @sayitcanonlybeme, sorry for the extremely late reply. I've gone back to grad school and have been busy with classes/projects for the past few months, so I haven't been able to be active on Tumblr until the holidays.
The timeline was posted a long time ago when I first started learning about the Shinsengumi, so there are inaccuracies, especially mixups between Lunar calendar and Western calendar dates.
Here are the events with details and corrections:
September 1867 Soji becomes seriously ill
It's not clear exactly when he became ill, but according to Japanese Wiki Corpus:
according to Kanefumi NISHIMURA's "Mibu Roshi Shimatsuki", he [Okita Souji] was seriously ill around September when the quarters were moved to Fudodo Village; and in a letter to Kondo dated October 13, Kojima wrote that he was worried about Okita's worsening condition. Given the above, when Okita's health condition worsened so critical that he could not bear fighting was from autumn to winter in 1867. It is also thought that his intense exercise might have been an added burden on his lungs and aggravated his illness.
I'm not sure whether the dates are Lunar or Western calendar, but September is October on the Western calendar. Here's a useful calendar converter.
January 1868 - I assume he went to Osaka for the battle of Toba-Fushimi
He was first staying at Kondo Isami’s mistress’s house in Rokujo, Kyoto, not far from Fushimi (according to this article and this article). Abe Juro arrived there on the morning of December 18 (Lunar calendar, Western calendar: January 12, 1868), hoping to assassinate Okita. He later mentioned in the "Shidankai Sokkiroku" (史談會速記錄), "However there was no one there but one woman, who after interrogation admitted that there was an Okita Souji the other night who at 10PM returned to Fushimi. It was really regrettable."
December 18 was also the day Kondo got shot in the right shoulder on his way from Nijo Castle (more info).
They were both sent to Osaka Castle to receive medical care, so neither of them participated in the fighting that started on January 3 (Lunar calendar, Western calendar: January 27).
February 4 - they sail to Edo
According to this article, Kondo, Hijikata, and Okita boarded the Shogunate's ship Fujisanmaru on January 10 (Lunar calendar, Western calendar: February 3).
(image sources: [1] [2])
Nagakura boarded the Jundomaru which left a day earlier. Out of the 150 Shinsengumi members, 116 remained. They went back to Edo on those two ships along with the rest of the Shogunate army.
The Fujisanmaru arrived at Shinagawa, Edo on January 15. Kondo and Okita went to a medical clinic in Kanda Izumibashi (神田和泉橋) to receive treatment from Matsumoto Ryojun. The rest of the Shinsengumi stayed at a garrison in Kajibashi Gate (鍛冶橋門).
This is likely Okita's first time traveling on a ship since the Shinsengumi originally arrived in Kyoto on foot and there are no other records of Okita making long journeys.
Feb? ?? - Okita’s sister Mitsu and Okita Rintaro left
Okita Mitsu and Rintaro evacuated along with the Shinchogumi's sponsor, the Lord of the Shonai domain Sakai Tadazumi, to the Shonai domain in northern Japan (source).
Since Souji wasn't fit for travel, he was left behind in Edo. According to the Okita Family Records, they left him on February 26 (Lunar calendar, Western calendar: March 19, 1868). However, according to this article, Mitsu and Rintaro left in March (lunar calendar), so I'm not sure which date is more accurate.
According to the Shinsengumi's financial records, Okita withdrew money to pay a carpenter on February 26 (lunar) to repair Uekiya's house in Sendagaya where he spent his final days, so he had either just moved in or was about to move there when Mitsu left.
February 28ish - This is when Soji goes to Matsumoto Ryojin’s clinic
I think February 28ish (lunar) is when he left Matsumoto Ryojun's clinic.
According to this article:
In January of Keio 4, Matsumoto Ryojun was summoned by a certain Hiraoka, a young official of the shogunate, and receive news that "The wounded from the Battle of Toba-Fushimi were returning to Edo, and that they should be given temporary hospitalization at the residences of the lords". As if following in the footsteps of the Shogunate's army, news spread that Satsuma-Choshu army had moved eastward and was coming to Edo. Most of the wounded had already been cured, and more than 30 patients were treated at Imado.
He built his own dormitory in a corner of the grounds of the shrine in Imado, where he lived, and built a hospital building in Shofukuji Temple, which was used as a field hospital, and moved his own patients there as well.
The Shinsengumi, defeated in the Battle of Toba-Fushimi in Keio 4, returned to Edo aboard the Fujisanmaru and were transported from the Kamaya (釜屋, an inn/teahouse) in Shinagawa to a medical clinic in Okachimachi, Kanda Izumibashi, and then to a field hospital in Shofukuji, where Kondo Isami and Okita Souji were treated by Matsumoto Ryojun, but this is only speculation.
So it's not clear when they went to each location, but from that article, it sounds like Okita went to Matsumoto's clinic at Imado Shrine shortly after arriving in Edo.
March 24 - so a month later the Shinsengumi goes to Kofu Castle and stays in Hino
They went to Kofu on March 24 (Western calendar, Lunar calendar: March 1), so it makes sense that after Okita got too sick in Hino, he was left behind and eventually sent to Uekiya's house in Sendagaya.
He was probably either about to move in or already living in Uekiya's house before he left towards Kofu, since he took out money for renovations on February 26 (lunar).
Sometime in March (before the 28th) - the Shinsengumi visits Soji
Since Nagakura assumed Okita died at Imado in his diary, most Shinsengumi members probably didn't know that he was staying at Uekiya's house starting from March. They were probably trying to keep his location secret to keep him safe.
Since Kondo was captured soon after the Battle of Koshu-Katsunuma, it's unlikely that he ever visited Okita again.
Hijikata did go back to Edo for a short time after that battle, so it's possible that he could have visited Okita, but he was busy pleading Kondo's case and preparing for battle.
It's also possible that a few other trusted Shinsengumi members knew Okita's whereabouts and visited him. Since they didn't want to tell Okita about Kondo's death, it could mean that Okita was still in touch with some Shinsengumi members.
March 28-April 25 - the shinsengumi are pretty much all around Edo until Kondo is beheaded in May and Hijikata gets injured at the Battle of Utsunomiya Castle
At the Battle of Utsunomiya, Hijikata was shot in his right foot on April 23, so he was carried from the battlefield on Shimada Kai's back.
On April 29, Hijikata arrived near Aizu-Wakamatsu and stayed at Shimizuya Inn, which had hot springs, to recover from his wound.
He learned about Kondo's death while he was there and built a tombstone for him at the nearby Tenneiji temple.
On July 1, he left to visit his men.
A month later, he went back to the battlefield to fight the Battle of Aizu.
(source)
July 19 - *sobs* we lose him. So he’s at the house alone and suffering from end of March to July? 4 months. And in those four months, he did visit Kondo’s wife Tsune and daughter Tama at Joganji Temple in Nakano
He died on July 19 (Western calendar). He might have been lonely without his loved ones, but I don't think he was alone since Uekiya’s rice cooker was taking care of him and he probably saw other doctors after Matsumoto left.
He visited Kondo’s wife and daughter at Joganji Temple, but I don't think there would be any records where we could find the date since he was in hiding and trying to keep his movements secret.
According to the quote from this article from "Shinsengumi Imon" (新選組遺聞) by Shimozawa Kan:
Isami's family, his wife Tsune and his mother-in-law Keiko (瓊子), moved out of their house in Ushigome shortly after Isami left for Koshu and moved to the outskirts of Edo. They rented room at a temple called Joganji in Nomurahongo.
In the Shinsengumi's financial records, there's a withdrawal on February 28 (lunar) for the house in Ushigome where Kondo’s wife and child lived, which might be related to the move.
So Okita probably visited them in Joganji some time between March and July.
This article (from the "Joganji Records" (成願寺誌)) describes what his final days were like:
Edo was already crawling with government troops with Imperial Brocades, but Uekiya, where Souji was staying, was a safe haven in Ikejiribashi, a very lonely place at the time, where the sound of watermills over the river echoed and there was hardly anyone to be seen at night.
Although safe, it must have been too lonely for the young Souji. Sometimes he would go by palanquin to Joganji temple, about a ri away [a 1 hour walk]. He would stay there for days and days. He had an incurable disease, and he probably knew better than anyone else that his death was approaching.
Unable to endure the loneliness and desolation, he would come to the temple and soak in the warmth of the unchanging affection of the mother and child, and how comforted he was by that.
Let me know if there's anything I didn't cover or if you have any more questions.
I would really like to read the fic you wrote, if you don't mind sharing it - nvm, found it :)

Is it ever too late to fall in love? Even if you're dying, is it too late to steal each moment of happiness you can? See how one of the greatest swordsmen alive makes a short life vibrant during the final years of the Edo period when the Shogun fell.

Major character death (non-permanent in the sequel)
“You left me alone to die.” Soji heartlessly stood over him, posture folded, blood oozing from his lips in stringing drips, black in the darkness of the room. His laugh rose up shrilly out of his rolling coughs in disbelief at the way Hijikata crumbled at his feet. “Stand up!” He growled. “How dare you look so pathetic in front of me who is dying. I thought you were a bushi!” His hand slapped over his mouth in order to seal another cough inside, body curling further in agonizing, twisting hacks. He stumbled back and met the ground, shaking while blood slithered out from his palm, leaking down his arm and into his lap. It was bad.
