~ Editor's Note ~
— This is your official red alert to those sensitive to: smut and voyeurism. If you read beyond this point, that's your problem.
In any case, this, more than anything was initially intended to be nothing more than a self-indulgent experimental 'mature' writing challenge for myself. But of course, being me, I don't do oneshots – so this angsty thing was born. It is now less smutty and more character study-ish, but regardless, it's fun all the same. Hopefully it isn't too cringe inducing, but first attempts almost always are so I shouldn't expect anything different; I'd like to hear thoughts. Please assume *Waifine's* Sir Utakata, We Must Both Live is an established canon for this work, just to avoid confusion.
