    The tree?” Ryland asked before he could think better of it. “Only one?”

    “There was only one left after,” Simon answered. “We watched it slowly die.”

    Summary

    "I have survived international conspiracies. I have navigated minefields. I can handle a five-pound orange domestic shorthair."
    "Can you, though?" you tease, leaning back and watching him with a playful, expectant look.
    "Because so far, the score is Cheeto: two, Leon:zero."

    ──────•✦•──────

    Leon falls victim to the cat distribution system.

    As an emergency vet, you have strict rules about giving out your personal number to clients. But when a soaking wet, broad-shouldered man walks into your clinic holding a shivering neonate kitten like it's a live grenade, you make an exception. Strictly for cat emergencies, of course.

    (It does not stay strictly for cat emergencies. Not when he keeps using "suspicious sneezes" as an excuse to see you)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Such a great exploration of Dante’s depression/suicidal ideation. Mind the tags. Some nice fluff in the last piece.

    Summary

    She wished he wouldn't look at her like that. Leon had such a kind face when it wasn't creased with worry or anger or effort or fear. And anyways, she was perfectly fine.

    Strange that she seemed to be sitting on the floor, though.

    "Hey, Ashley. You passed out."

    Ah. Well.

    That explained the floor.

    Or, Ashley passes out from exhaustion in the Castle, and finds herself a little too fascinated with the way the candlelight glows on her rescuer's face.

    "How'd you know how to do this?"

    "What do you mean?"

    "I mean—" she didn't actually know how to explain, just waved her hand again— "this?"

    "Wash hair? You can't judge me based on the last few days, Ashley. I have washed my own hair before."
    -
