Bare Your Fangs to the Dusk Part 12

Alexis cleared her throat and rubbed a hand over her face, trying to catch her breath after her fit of laughter had finally passed. She felt… better. Less tightly wound and more settled now that she’d seen evidence of Urahara— of Kisuke’s clear interest in both helping them and in getting closer to Erich. Even …

Lost Eclipse Part 7

Zethia considered the dragon as he led them through the castle to his companion; she’d never heard of such a human-looking dragon, much less one that could pass himself off as human, but he’d said he could with such confidence… He was, she thought, probably around Phares’ age. Or… mental age, perhaps? (How did dragons …

Fox and Griffin Part 3

Tessai set aside the last dish he needed to wash and sighed at the sound of raised voices coming from the spare bedroom; he’d warned Kisuke that Griffin wouldn’t take his abduction well, no matter how polite they were to him.

Fox and Griffin Part 2

Erich woke, pain-free and unbound, and had all of three heartbeats to think ‘I’m safe’ before his mind started to raise alarms. He was not in the hospital. He bolted upright, wings mantling and ears flattened and— He was alone. Alone in a small room, cream walls and tatami mats on the floor and a …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 11

Kisuke ran a polishing cloth over Benihime’s blade again and again, using the repetitive motion to occupy his body while he tried to sort through everything he overheard a few hours ago.
