Lost Eclipse Part 6

(Warning for mention of theoretical self-harm. It’s just a misunderstanding, but the DL crew do make the assumption for about a paragraph or two.) Kaito stared out the window and let his mind drift as Uryuu rested against his chest, the teen finally worn out from crying but still too tired to pull away. He …

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. (Courting him?) (The day before, none of them could stand his presence and yet… Erich and Alexis were going to court him?) (That …

Bare Your Fangs to the Dusk Part 10

Alexis smoothed her hand down Erich’s chest, enjoying the chance to simply relax and cuddle instead of having to immediately separate once more.

He tried not to breath it in, tried to keep his nose covered, but… A cough ripped through his body, muscles tightening and …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 10

It was evening by the time Alexis strolled up the steps to Ren and Mami’s house, having spent most of the afternoon with her flock. She hadn’t wanted to arrive back too soon and give the game away, not when it truly was a several hour walk. They wanted to make Urahara think, not hand …

Bare Your Fangs to the Dusk Part 9

Noise in the courtyard below drew Erich from his desk and over to the window, curiosity and boredom overriding his need to finish the last of the paperwork before he had to leave Urahara’s guild for good. From what he’d read, they weren’t expecting anyone — no missions had come in, no supplies were due …

Lost Eclipse Part 4

Euden held the Sacred Shard close as they traveled the short distance back to the wooden bridge, uncertain what to do with it. He’d come so far at his father’s urging, made a pact with the Windwyrm and discovered a long-lost shard, and now… Now someone with his father’s face had tried to take it …
