Summary
Written as an offshoot of my "Leather and Lace" modern AU...
Cid is Barnabas' second in command, and serves as he loyal attack dog in the criminal organization known as The Waloeders, but a lifetime of blood and violence has made him weary. Clive is a beautiful but deeply wounded animal recovering from a dark past, seeing little worth in himself as he seeks out the punishment he thinks he deserves.

Summary
(Set in an modern day AU)
If Anabella Lesage's death had done at least one good thing, it was bring her sons together after five long years apart - nevermind that her menace was what had driven them apart in the first place.
Clive is ecstatic to finally be reunited with his brother after so long, and he and Cid welcome the younger man to stay with them for as long as he'd like. Initially hesitant, Joshua accepts, though that doesn't mean he's ready for all of his wounds to be on full display. Past, present, and future, there is still a lot of healing to be done between them. Can Cid and Clive, who guided each other through their darkest moments, do the same for the younger Rosfield? Or is there simply too much history there to overcome?

Summary
In this canon-divergent story, Cid and Otto are starting up the Cursebreakers, but have only had minimal success with which of their runaway Bearers are actually capable of fighting. Thinking it best to purchase one from the black market instead, they head to Oriflamme, where Cid spots a young fire-aspected Branded that should serve his purposes well. Especially once he's able to reason out just who said Branded is: the young Lord Clive Rosfield.
Cid knows he has to do a delicate dance with "his" new "property" that he's purchased, and also knows that they have a long road of deprogramming and un-brainwashing ahead of them. Can Cid help Clive remember his independence? And can he do so without breaking the young man's fragile sanity? Will Clive be able to help Cid realize his dream of Cursebreakers, and aiding in the operations at the Hideaway, including the eventual liberation of Bearers?

Summary
Cid has survived the destruction of the Mothercrystal at Drake's Head thanks to Joshua's timely intervention. However, after sucking a part of Ultima into himself, Joshua quickly vanishes - and takes Clive with him.
Five years later, and the Rosfield Brothers have successfully recaptured Rosaria in their name, but the relationship between the Archduke, his First Shield, and the Outlaw has soured; without Clive by his side, Cid has surrendered himself to his nihilistic beliefs that the world is better off being burned for its cruelty, while Joshua has been not-so-quietly losing his sanity thanks to the steady, slow poison of Ultima within him. Clive does the best he can to manage the fallout between his brother and his former mentor as they continue to wage war against each other - all over Clive.

Summary
Leon has become a master of the slow fade, a ghost haunting his own life until there’s nothing left but the sharp scent of whiskey and the hollow echoes of a man who stopped caring months ago. He exists in the spaces between memories he'd rather forget, pulling the shadows around him like a second skin.
Chris is the only one who refuses to let him vanish. Armed with a stubborn, quiet persistence and a refusal to look away, he remains the sole anchor in Leon’s drifting world. It’s a heavy, wordless vigil, a tug-of-war between Leon’s desperate need to isolate and Chris’s terrifyingly steady presence. In the suffocating stillness of what remains, they are forced to navigate the blurred lines of a bond that is as much a lifeline as it is a burden.
A study of the fine line between saving a man and breaking him further, navigating an intimacy neither was ever trained to handle.

That was when Chris' phone rang--his personal phone, the caller ID reading Claire. He smiled faintly, answering the phone and humming.
"Chris?" Claire's voice was tense, which made his smile drop worriedly. Something had her seriously shaken up, and now Chris was sitting up, muting the TV and frowning. "It's Leon, Chris-"
"Claire, Leon is a big boy. Whatever's happened, I'm sure he's going to be fine. I can't drop everything when he scrapes his knee and-"
"Chris!" Claire's voice broke, and Chris was silenced immediately. His sister didn't cry easily, something had to be seriously wrong. Sudden panic gripped his chest, what if Leon was dead? "Chris, it's--he's in the hospital. H-He tried to kill himself."Aka, Leon is suicidal and Chris goes to see him in the hospital. Angst ensues.
