Actually, Fire & Gold was in my mind since I watched the trailers, which was a long time ago. At that time it was of course not confirmed who was the elder of the sisters, and because of Ruby's cool demeanor I fancied her as the older one.

Knowing that I can't keep making insanely accurate predictions every time - and that the point of AU is that they're different from canon - I decided to make the two not related, and have Ruby lead as the elder despite being younger of age.

Speaking of Yang's father in my AU - and he does exist, in my way - I had some wordplays in my mind and it turns out RT too had their own ideas. They made a wordplay on 'Yang', and I choose 'Xiao Long'. For your information, 'Ju Long' means 'Huge Dragon' in Chinese.

The Ruby in my series is based of Red Trailer, and has a different starting from the canon Ruby we know and love. At some point I will lead her towards the current Ruby though.

I am sure you have not seen 'Devil Wind' before, because I've written it only last year. It is not uncommon to find similar summaries anyway - but if you find an unusually similar story though... give me the link.

Note that Fire & Gold quality is not exactly up to par (although I've made a lot of revisions and it is almost not cringeworthy to read at times) since it was the first, and it is an entry for NaNoWriMo (which I succeeded). I had wanted to put the focus on Ren instead of Yang's family, but eh, I feel that it turned out better than what I had planned.
