    Summary

    “Do you mean it this time?” The waver in Meghill’s voice is a barely-there thing, concealed by years of practiced composure. Angert preens at the knowledge that only he can spot his chief’s weakness even while his self-loathing grows, knowing that he has caused it.

    Angert lifts his head to meet Meghill’s honest gaze. He takes Meghill’s long braid in one hand and twirls it around his fingers, imaging it undone. He knows what Meghill looks like beneath him, white hair splayed in a halo around him while Angert rides him, while Angert holds him down by the horns and takes him apart.

    “I just want to make you mine,” Meghill whispers. His hand comes up and cups Angert's face, thumb tracing the scales on his cheekbone. "I want this to be real."

    “I know." Angert closes his eyes. “We will talk. I promise.”

    It isn't the first time he's lied to Meghill, but at least it will be the last.

    OR: Angert says goodbye to Meghill before his journey to Heaven's Reach.

    Summary

    An examination of what it might have been like if Kurogane and Fai were to help free Watanuki from the Shop.

    He never imagined having children. And that’s fine, it is. But now he has two. Three, even, if you include Watanuki. Sometimes he does. He isn’t sure, yet, whether he should. But Watanuki is a piece of his Syaoran, and that must count for something.

    They visit him, sometimes. Watanuki. The sad boy in the sad shop, doomed to the kind of loneliness that makes Fai’s skin crawl. Who was taking care of you? He thinks, imagining Sakura in the boy’s place. Who let this happen?

    Across from him, Kurogane’s jaw is tight, his lips pursed. He’s thinking the same thing, Fai knows. Kurogane would have sooner given up his other arm than allowed this to pass.

    Smoke fills the shop parlor. Watanuki doesn’t even bat at it hazily, just stares, head draped back, eyes empty. “There’s no such thing as coincidence,” he murmurs, offering them pastries from a small tray. “If you’re here, it’s because you have no choice.”

    Summary

    “Kuro-sama,” Fai whispers—he didn’t mean to whisper, but his throat is so dry he can barely speak. “If you’re going to kiss me… please do it properly.”

    Kurogane and Fai finally have time as they recover in Clow.
