I do like the world and characters very much, and I have a couple thousand words of the first book ("The Lady Is the Tiger") written, since it was my NaNo attempt in, I think, 2008. That one actually stalled out more because of the murder mystery aspect than the romance aspect.
Lia is extremely gray, and also the dominant personality in her relationship with... oh, I give up. *edits post* In her relationship with Takeshi.
(The name problem is because I kind of kidnapped Lia and Takeshi from a different story with different rules of magic, and then tried to eat my cake and have it too by renaming their counterparts in this world to Leah Drake and Hajime King so I could write both stories. But it won't work; they are Dahlia "Lia" Reynard and Takeshi Fitzroy, and trying to call them something else does my head in. I was done with this ficlet before I realized I'd been using the 'wrong' spelling of Lia's name, and you will also notice that I used Fitzroy instead of King without even noticing.)
