    Summary

    Kaoru was often asked why he and Kojiro stayed friends when they were so different from each other. Kaoru liked that question, it implied that people saw a clear line between him and that muscle-brained idiot he was unfortunately tethered to. A divide, like black and white. Whatever Kojiro was, Kaoru was not. Where Kojiro was rustic, Kaoru was refined. Where Kojiro was affable, Kaoru was reserved. The only part of this that Kaoru had any problem with was everyone seeing Kojiro as a pick up artist, and therefore naturally viewing him as some sort of asexual being.

    What people didn’t know was that Kaoru was just as much of a monster as Kojiro, if not more.

     

    aka a self-indulgent headcanon where Kaoru is a master of seduction and used to have a lot of one-night stands

    Summary

    “Are you and Kaoru fighting?”
    The words startle him, come unexpectedly into the quiet kitchen. He and Kaoru are not fighting. For once.
    Things are just a little strange because a few days past Carla sent Kojiro the contact information for Kaoru's regular escort.
    And instead of telling Kaoru about it, Kojiro just booked an evening with Tadashi too.
    What else was he supposed to do?

    Alternatively: Tadashi is coming to the end of his career as an escort and he's looking forward to it. There are some things — some people, he'll miss, however.

    Summary

    And Tadashi looks at this man, his master, his former friend, and wishes he could stop caring.

    Because somewhere along the line the boy he taught how to skateboard when no one was watching disappeared, leaving this monster behind.

    Summary

    Felix Hugo Fraldarius knows two things: the arts of war and that people fear him. That hasn't stopped his father from trying to foist brides on him. One fled before he ever got to see her, and the one he is now saddled with can't even look him in the eye.

    Annette Fantine Dominic also knows two things: that her decision to flee from her cruel aunt and her betrothal to Felix Fraldarius was foolish but necessary, and that she will die if she is ever discovered. Disguised as a young squire, she constantly fears being exposed and killed.

    Yet the goddess has a cruel sense of humor, as through a twist of fate Annette finds herself journeying to Fraldarius along with the Knights of Seiros and Felix's latest betrothed. Once there, her ineptitude leads Felix to find her combat skills woefully inadequate, so he decides to make her into a proper warrior—personally.

    Annette thinks her life can't get any worse... until she finds herself falling in love with him.
