swept up amid this changing world Part 9
Erich tugs at the cuffs of his uniform as he ducks out of his tent and scans the camp. He promised Degurechaff that he would rest, but… there’s only so much lazing about and cuddling with Alexis he can do before he becomes restless, especially in their current situation. So… he won’t do anything official, …

He drifts awake to the murmur of quiet-familiar-safe voices in his ear and a slender, calloused hand combing through his hair. Everything is warm-safe-content, from the hum of Alexis’ soulmark to the press of spiritual power all around them, and he turns his head slightly to bury his face a bit more in his pillow. …

Erich seats himself at his desk, Alexis still practically glued to his side, and takes a moment to clear the paperwork away as best he can with only one hand. He’s not about to pry his other hand free, not when he’s still soaking up her presence, but it does make things… difficult. Alexis helps …

swept up amid this changing world Part 6
They loot the camp, motions practiced and priorities already known. Intelligence, food and medical supplies, ammunition… nothing is left behind that they can use or adapt to use. Erich slings a pack full of stolen papers across his back, settles his rifle in place, and waits for his men to be done. He ignores all …

Degurechaff finds him later, hard at work in the command tent with all the lamps lit and stolen enemy papers strewn around him as he does what he’s been trained to do: analyze and plan. He’s not managed to glean much new from them, but the effort has at least helped settle his nerves. “He’s …

swept up amid this changing world Part 4
He sleeps poorly that night. It’s strange to think that he’s already grown accustomed to his soulmate’s nightly visits, but somehow he has. Two nights of healing rest, a third interrupted visit, and now a part of him is missing the rest and reassurance even though it’s only been a single night. Degurechaff politely says …

swept up amid this changing world Part 3
The morning comes too soon. Erich gives up on sleeping when he hears the watch change, crawling out of his bedroll and swiftly changing clothes before Degurechaff can stir. He slips outside and nods a greeting to Serebryakov, then leaves her behind in favor of finding breakfast. (It’s still strange, to eat and not have …

swept up amid this changing world Part 2
Erich wakes to a hand in his hair and ripples of warmth coursing through his body. He wakes to lethargy and contentment and safety, to the urge to close his eyes and rest, to trust, and it’s all he can do to fight past the unnatural desire and lift a hand to grab— A hand …

Fox and Griffin Part 10
Kisuke snuck another glance at Griffin as the man concentrated on eating; he looked younger, softer, without his uniform or mask to draw the eye and add a hunter’s sharpness to his features. Not that his golden eyes and narrow eyebrows weren’t enough, but… Griffin had down feathers on his chest, visible through the gap …

swept up amid this changing world Part 1
(For the trope mashup ask meme, prompted by anonymous: Kisuke/Erich/Alexis — 24: Soulmate AU, 67: Character in Peril) Erich is born with a thin band of indistinct leaves around his right wrist, a sign that his soulmate is older than him, though no one knows by how much. It causes a stir – he’s the …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 18
“And here’s Karakura!” Kisuke came to a stop next to Mami and stared across the bridge at Karakura, relief coiling through him at the sight of it; he’d never quite known how much the town had come to mean to him over the decades until he’d not been able to return immediately. For somewhere that …

Fox and Griffin Part 9
Erich fluffed and ruffled his feathers, shaking free the clinging damp from the long bath he’d indulged in. It had been a long time since he’d had the opportunity to bathe in Griffin’s form and it felt… good. Cleansing. His apartment didn’t have a bathroom large enough to accommodate his wings and his job kept …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 17
Kisuke drifted awake, mind fuzzy but body more rested than he expected it to be, given that the sun was already beginning to rise by the time he crawled into bed; the previous night had been more of a delight than he’d expected it to be, the simple ‘walk around the lake’ that Erich had …

Fox and Griffin Part 8
Kisuke woke abruptly, body held carefully still as his mind scrambled to catch up. He wasn’t in his own bedroom but he was in a bed, so he hadn’t fallen asleep in the lab— Someone yawned against his neck and Kisuke’s breath caught in his throat as his mind finally produced an answer. Griffin mumbled …

Fox and Griffin Part 7
Kisuke sighed and buried his face in his hands, restless and exhausted and unable to sleep for the worry that gnawed at his mind. He just let Griffin leave. He’d let a newly declared villain leave safety simply because the man was confident in his contacts. He could have stopped him, could have insisted on …
