Title: The Warm Breath Against My Neck
Fandom: Magic Knight Rayearth [Mafia AU]
Length: 2594 words
Prompt: n/a
Pairing: Ignis/Eclat (male OCs) & Clef gen
Other: There is no excuse for this. Way precanon to The Sharp Edge of Your Smile. Ignis and Eclat are actually the names that Chi and I gave to the Pharle and Guru before Presea and Clef, so when we started talking about how Clef got into the business, this happened. PG-13 for dark themes.

Excerpt: He'd been with Eclat for almost fifteen years now, but had met Eclat's last business partner only once, when the two of them had turned up on the doorstep on a dark night that was pouring rain. The woman had been clutching her stomach in hopes that her organs would all stay in place, and she hadn't been very talkative.

Title: The Sharp Edge of Your Smile
Fandom: Magic Knight Rayearth [Mafia AU]
Length: 4055
Prompt: n/a
Pairing: Clef/Presea; various other background characters
Other: There is no excuse for this. It started with this fic by allira_dream, in which she inserted more MKR characters into Infinity World, and then Chi and I have reworked it into an extensive headcanon. Yes, there will be other fics in this 'verse. The idea is-- what if Presea and Clef were assassins in the Mafia? This fic is rated R for violence.

Excerpt: When Clef finds people he thinks he can love, he sends them away. It's the best thing to do in a profession like his.

Title: Becomes as Coals
Fandom: Magic Knight Rayearth
Length: 7261 words
Prompt: n/a
Pairing: Clef/Presea primarily; background canon pairings
Other: Title from a quote by Bruce Lee. Spanning a period of time from precanon through post-MKR II, spoilers for all canon. I have elected to use English words for what I assume would be Cephiran equivalents (coffee, tea, etc).

Excerpt: Clef had always been there, Perdana said, the day that Presea first met him. Their meeting hadn't been much; Presea had been awed by Clef's presence, by the way he seemed haughty and tall and important, even though the second wasn't true.

Character/Pairing: Clef and Presea; slight Presea/Clef
Other: n/a

Excerpt: Presea knows there must have been a time before Clef lived in the palace, a time before he put on those heavy robes and took up the staff of office, but she finds it hard to picture.
