Summary
“So, Kuro-rin. It seems that we’ll be traveling together.”
The words are soft, barely audible, even in the quiet room; but Kurogane still feels his teeth grind together.
“Don’t call me that.”
- - -
Basically, the one where Kurogane is angry and lonely and so far from home, and Fai pretty much just hates himself; and they agree on something casual, since they both really need the distraction, and since they’re going to be traveling together, anyway.
In other words, the one where they’re not supposed to fall in love, and then they really, really do.
(A/N: This is essentially me trying to write a world-by-world story [spanning all the way from Hanshin to Piffle] on how these two darlings could get together.)

Summary
Admittedly, Fai had never been a particularly good judge of character. A history of trauma at the hands of others, long periods of isolation from people, and a deliberate choice to never allow his relationships to develop into anything beyond surface level pleasantries had not exactly granted Fai much experience in understanding the inner workings of other people. Still, he felt certain that his take on Kurogane was correct. He felt certain that, were it to become necessary, he could kill Kurogane.

Summary
They have their revenge, and the constant threat looming over all their lives has finally passed - but both Kurogane and Fai still have a lot of healing left to do. Fortunately, neither of them has to do it alone.
[Set between the final battle and the end of the series, during their convalescence in Clow Country.]

Saving because basically a missing scene and I love it
Story time!
Some 20 years ago ish, I wrote a very similar fic. It must have been just as the Nihon chapters were released? Or even before, but I think they might have just gotten there.Anyway.
In my fic, Fai broke down over having landed in Nihon because he assumed Kurogane would stay. And meanwhile, Kuro was talking to Tomoyo like, "you know I'm not staying right"? And she essentially goes well duh, have a good one. (I am paraphrasing, it was more serious lol.)
Aaaanyway I thought it was so angsty and shiet (I think I was listening to "Kaze no machi e" as I wrote it because it set a vibe). But oh man it sucked so bad lol. It was way before ao3, the dark ages. Time flies.
ANYWAY I am bookmarking this because this is like LITERALLY what I remember I WANTED to write - I just didn't have the skills as a storyteller to make it this good.
