twelve things to know about cinder

when he's kissing her.

most of the time;

is a marigold.

::::

4. she hates dresses,

so much that she changed out of it

somewhere (kai has never seen it, but

he is certain it exists).

7. she has used "i was cleaning my foot

and had to reattach it,"

8. she came to visit after months on luna,

and arrived just as the sun rose-

"so they don't catch on and recognize you."

program, build, and drive her own

podship.

This is my first TLC fic... how'd I do? I have a stash of half-finished TLC fics (in prose, not verse) that I might post as a collection. Until then, hope you enjoyed this Kaider fic, and please review!
