[TRC] (AU) The Wizards of Ceres (19/20)

Title: The Wizards of Ceres, chapter 19 - Aftershocks
Pairing: Kurogane/Fai
Rating: R (See warnings!)
Warning: Non-explicit sexual content in this chapter.
Summary: In which Kurogane and Fai survey the spoils of their triumph, and discuss where to go from here.

Author's notes: I had not originally planned for this story to include sex. (In fact, when one of my ff.net readers asked me that question, I assured them it would not. Oops.) But during a conversation with my beta, who is not really in the fandom and has no particular interest in Kurogane and Fai as a pairing -- let alone in porn for its own sake -- she agreed that after all the development their romance had gone through, to end the story without SOME form of resolution in that area would feel cheap. 
So, here it is. Since I didn't particularly want to change my rating from R to NC-17 at this late stage of the game, the sex itself is largely going to be talked around, but yeah. 


( As Kurogane rode away from the conflagration behind him, for the first time he began to wonder what the hell he'd gotten himself into. )
