3Z Official PV: Tae & Hijikata
Another HUGE thank-you to the talented @okaerin for this beautiful artwork I commissioned from her!! It was great working with her again, and I encourage everyone to check out her blog for more of her lovely artwork!
Presenting Hijikata and Tae on a summer date...in a 1950s-inspired AU!
Tae’s fashion takes cue from Audrey Hepburn for a cute, casual, and classic style! Her outfit pays homage to Audrey’s gown in Sabrina (1954) through the cherry blossom print on a summer dress reminiscent of the trends of that decade. Every time it comes to Tae in more modern fashions, I always find myself returning to Audrey’s iconic style and fashion sense, which I think suits Tae wonderfully.
Hijikata’s fashion is inspired by two famous leading men during the golden age of cinema in the 50s (and beyond): Toshiro Mifune and Marlon Brando, from a photoshoot and A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), respectively. I think the classic T-shirt and trousers look suits Hijikata best for a casual and romantic outing.

Lesson 527/Episode 309: Tae and Hijikata, both enraged by injustice.
The minute her colleagues are harmed, Tae confronts Nobu Nobu’s abuse of power.
The second Tae’s neck is cut, Hijikata moves to strike Nobu Nobu with a punch.
Fic: Keep Running Into the Night
No one will remember the other almost-punch.
No one will whisper and pass around legends about the man who made a living from submitting to governmental authority. No one will think about the one whose life already hangs on the edge of a sword, spinning around and throwing his fist out in the direction of the most powerful man in the nation, knowing full well that his death would be ordered on the spot, knowing he would lose all hope and chance to save his general from execution.
No one will remember what Hijikata did for her.
But she will.
Summary: Tae's thoughts and emotions, as she and Hijikata and the others flee into the night after Gintoki punches the Shogun.

Fic: The Light of a Dying Star
Hijikata was not visiting a loved one. She was not family, and she was not exactly a friend, either. An ally at best; time enough for anything beyond that had passed. Though he hadn’t gone to see her before, Hijikata knew the room number from Sougo, who had visited her once to assess her condition and pass the news onto Kondou. But Kondou still knew nothing, for Sougo had not the heart to tell him that Shimura Tae hovered between life and death at the mercy of the White Plague.
Summary: Set in the Be Forever Yorozuya timeline.
Before going underground in order to devise a rescue plan for Kondou, Hijikata goes to visit Tae in the hospital for the first and last time.
