    Summary

    The tension within Aloth gets another meaning when he recalls the Watcher out on the battlefield, her teeth brilliantly white against the steel of one of her weapons, tongue darting out to swipe a drop of blood off the blade.

    That fine line of devastatingly beautiful but dangerous.

    Aloth wants to be there suddenly – desperately, to walk that line and find out where it goes. What happens if he twists his hands into her shirt, draws her close, and kisses that dangerous mouth. If he follows her not with his spells but with his hands and his body and his tongue. What happens if he pushes his hands into her hair and stays there, kisses the tips of her ears like daggers, draws her into him as much as she’s drawn him into her.

    [Or alternatively: Aloth barrels into having post-battle sex with the Watcher. There’s love involved.]

    Summary

    “I’m goin' back to Earth.” V's voice waivers, her false conviction about to fold like a damn card table. "Gonna go with the Aldecaldos."

    His eyes do not leave the floor. V feels a tremor start in her hands – she shoves them into her pockets, sniffling as she stands.

    Crybaby she might be, she’s never been one to give up.

    “You could come with me.” She whispers, frightened that Saburo himself would hear her.

    “I cannot.” His answer is just as soft, and no less broken.

    V lets the tears fall as she smiles – realizing that after all they’ve been through, this is the end. “Goodbye Goro. It’s been an honor.”

    -----

    An alteration to the Devil ending. V returns to Earth to spend the rest of her days with the Aldecaldos and face her inevitable death. Takemura returns to Tokyo to resume his duty to Saburo Arasaka, only to be faced with accusations of sedition. Fate brings them together once more.

    Summary

    “You fight well,” He admitted. “But you have not claimed victory yet.” His blade sizzled closer to her side.

    She shifted on top of him but kept her hand steady and never gave him an inch. “Is that why you’re hard?”
