    Summary

    “But perhaps one of my men might’ve heard something, during. I’d be happy to supply the names, if you’d care to look into it.”

    Tsurumi plucks up a pen with avian precision, and an expression of conspiratorial fondness that seems to physically shorten the distance between them by several significant inches.

    “There we are,” he says, sliding the list forwards, “Do let me know what you find out.”

    Yuusaku makes some inquiries into the identity of the (naked, screaming) man who altered the course of his life. Mostly what he gets instead are answers to questions like "Wait, is that my brother?" and "Wait, am I attracted to my brother?" and "Wait--"

    Summary

    He steps into the cell to stand in front of Ogata and looks at him silently for the longest time, his face unreadable.

    "You let your hair grow long.", he finally says. Like this was the biggest problem between them. He reaches to thread his fingers through Ogata's mane, letting the longer strands fall down over his eyes. "Now why would you do such a thing?"

    The caress turns violent, and a fistful of hair is pulled sharply "Did it make you feel free?", he jeers. You were never free of me, his hold seems to say.

    Summary

    Inside me there are two wolves: One who thinks 310 was the perfect ending for Ogata and one who wishes there were more resolution to Vasily's story. This fic is what happened when I let them fight it out.

    Vasily has waited too long to finally determine the winner of their contest, and letting Ogata die here would be too easy, too anticlimactic, like the disappointing thud of an artillery shell that doesn’t detonate.

    He gets to decide whether his prey lives or dies, and for now, Ogata must live.

    Summary

    A vein throbs in Tsukishima’s neck as he pours tea into his own cup. He can’t help himself. “Why not train him in poetry instead, sir?”

    “To what end?” Tsurumi asks.

    Tsukishima shrugs and sets down the kettle with a light clatter. “You could always use another soldier-poet. They make the ugliest things sound beautiful.”

    Finally, Tsurumi looks back at him. His eyes are empty and round, opened just a millimeter wider than usual. Instantly, Tsukishima knows he’s said the wrong thing.

    --

    After taking Koito's virginity, Tsurumi calls in Tsukishima to interpret their pillow talk. Tsukishima hears a confession he wasn't meant to hear, and now he can't stop thinking about how Tsurumi leaves it unanswered.

    Summary

    This, Ogata thinks, is exactly how he wants to die. Slow and excruciating, with his blood roaring in his ears like this. With Yuusaku looming over him, unsmiling at last.

    He wants to be the first person Yuusaku ever kills, wants to rob him of that first like he has all the others.
