Lost Eclipse Part 8
Uryuu sat on the bed and fiddled with his right sleeve, staring at Urahara as the man meditated. His fingertips brushed against the smooth skin of his new scar again and again, the strange texture and lack of pain making something twist in his chest but— He was alive. He was alive, and healed, and …

Fox and Griffin Part 4
Erich let Griffin fade back into his soul as he stepped from the building, transitioning seamlessly from the prowling gait of his hero-self to the crisp military stride of his civilian-self as he did. He needed to get to Rudersdorf with the information he’d gathered as soon as possible, before anything else could happen to …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 13
“Certainly not passive, is he?” Erich snorted and glanced up from his book to fix Alexis with a dry look. “You wouldn’t like him if was,” he reminded her, then leaned over to peer around his mate to catch a glimpse of Urahara outside. The man was running through a series of slow, careful stretches, …

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. And then he’d seen the morning newspaper and he’d known things were going to …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 12
The next day dawned bright and cheerful, the sun rising over the lake and the swans beginning to rouse from their slumber. Kisuke leaned his chin on his hand and stared out across the lake, mind still turning over the things that Ren had told him the night before. He hadn’t gotten much sleep — …

Bare Your Fangs to the Dusk Part 11
Alexis arched an eyebrow as Erich casually slid a door open and leaned in without knocking, adding another tally to her count of things Erich was comfortable doing around Urahara that he normally wouldn’t be. “Urahara,” Erich said in greeting, then stepped a bit to the side as Urahara appeared in the doorway. “Have some …

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. She was certainly looking forward to the day when they didn’t have responsibilities to separate guilds, which… was going to come soon, one way or another. Speaking of… “You know, Benihime approached …

Lost Eclipse Part 5
Uryuu woke to pain and an unfamiliar room, bundled in blankets he didn’t remember finding and wearing a kimono with traces of someone else’s power lingering in the fabric. (*Shiro? Ichigo? Zangetsu?*) he asked as he carefully sat up, hissing as the movement pulled on still-healing wounds. He patted at the bed nearby, fumbling for …

Fox and Griffin Part 1
Erich grunted and levered himself free of the rubble he’d been hurled into, staggering to his feet and giving himself a shake, wings flapping to dislodge dust and debris from his feathers. 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 …
