Like Pebbles at the Water's Edge (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon)
Summary: When the last of the summer warmth sank out of the air and came to rest as frost spun like strands of silk upon the hardening earth, Li Mu Bai returned.
Rating: PG
Timeline: Pre-movie
Completed: 2004
Length: 15,000 words
Notes: Li Mu Bai/Yu Shu Lien.

Originally, this fic was going to be the first in a set of five stories, each one set in a different historical period and a different fandom. The idea was that each fic would be complete in its own right, but that they would overlap thematically and tell a longer story when taken as a whole. Unfortunately, I wrote the first story and then ran out of steam on the rest, although I still like the idea enough that it's in my list of "things I wouldn't mind coming back to some day." This story can be read as a stand-alone, though, so here it is.

Like Pebbles...is set some years before the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." In the film, Yu Shu Lien describes how she was once betrothed to a man called Meng Si Zhou, who was a fellow warrior of Li Mu Bai's, and that, following his death, she and Mu Bai became close but could not pursue a relationship which would dishonour the memory of her fiancé. "Like Pebbles..." is my take on that.
