Summary
“I am getting tired of waiting for you to catch up.”
The boy did not feel the telltale prickle of stinging steel against his neck again, but he didn’t need to; in the near-stillness of a slow evening breeze, the angel’s voice carried an air of impatience as sharp as his blades.
A nameless boy and a ruthless killer walk through the desert.

Summary

Summary
She had never thought that home could be more than a place, more than four walls and a roof that she sporadically returned to between missions and deployments only if and when time allowed it. Settling down, getting married, growing old, none of these things had sounded even remotely appealing to her. A lone wolf for most of her life, she had seldom longed for another’s warmth. She had never felt like something was missing. Not until, one morning, she had found herself tangled in sheets and wrapped in tender longing as soft lips pressed even softer kisses to her neck.
Waking up beside Praline had quickly become one of Kikyo’s most cherished treasures.
Or: the one in which Praline convinces Kikyo to go shopping.

Summary
The sound of her receding footsteps lingers heavy in the late autumn air, breaking the silence in perfect harmony with the agitated beating of his heart. Reluctantly, he follows her, slipping back into their established routine of not talking, not kissing and hardly even acknowledging each other.
He wonders when he had started craving more.
He wonders when she had.
The first time it happens, both of them are desperate and clinging and positively out of their mind. Every subsequent kiss they share only brings them closer until two hearts beat in perfect tandem.
A story about Lady and Vergil. -
