White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 15
Kisuke tugged absently at the too-short sleeves of his borrowed top as he waited for Erich to come outside, trying to suppress the desperate, restless edge that was creeping into his thoughts; he needed… he needed to do something — fight or create or… or something, anything that would give his mind an outlet — …

“Ready to go?” Erich asked Ura— Kisuke as the man stepped into the courtyard with a pack in one hand and his regular sword strapped to his waist. “And meet my fate? Absolutely,” Kisuke replied with a teasing grin as he meandered closer, sharp eyes taking the chaos of the courtyard in. “I simply cannot …

Fox and Griffin Part 5
“Still keeping an eye on me, I see,” Erich murmured as he caught sight of a pure black tail vanishing beneath the train seat he was approaching. “You’re taking this a bit more seriously than I expected.” He dropped his bag onto the seat and sat down next to it, pulling out the sheaf of …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 14
Kisuke pivoted on his toes, keeping Alexis in view as she prowled a circle around him. She’d surprised him during their first bout, taking advantage of his hubris to send him tumbling but… not this time. This time, injured or not, he would win. He’d already begun to make plans, to memorize her style, 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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
