I Surrender

by Luxor Nautalis

Before she had met the Succubus, just the thought of falling in love was something that would have made her face squinch up in a sneer and a shiver roll down her spine in disgust. Falling in love was a weakness, the worst kind. It lowered your inhibitions and left you helpless. She was too good for such a thing. Valkubus.

Authors Note: So, I got the inspiration for this story from Celine Dion's I surrender. It's really a great song, and I felt like it fit Tamsin so perfectly, especially after the last episode and her conflict about what to do about Odin putting a mark on Bo.

This story takes place directly after 'Delinquents' except, in this fic, Tamsin never ripped out Bo's hair or left the Clubhouse after Bo's invitation for tequila. Oh, and I changed the Tequila to wine. :) Other than that, everything went exactly the same.

Rating; T for some language

Featured Pair; Bo x Tamsin

It all came down to simple facts; she would give up anything and everything for Bo.

Her life, her family, her heritage, her pride. Everything she had in her, she would give.

She had no idea when it had happened. Perhaps when Bo had shown so much courage and determination to rescue a human she didn't even know from the underground sewer Fae, or maybe when she had risked everything to save those same underground Fae from the man that had entrapped and fed off them. Maybe it was during Kenzie's Kitsune-napping, when the Succubus was so determined to rescue her friend, even when everyone was against her, or during their little heart to heart after they had become infected with the Morrigan's parasite.

She didn't know the when, but somewhere along the line, it happened. She began to care, to feel, and it was something she hadn't done in over two-hundred years. Little by little, the succubus had gradually worn down her walls until Tamsin was left vulnerable and open. Just as gradually, the Valkyrie found herself falling in love.

Before she had met the Succubus, just the thought of falling in love was something that would have made her face squinch up in a sneer and a shiver roll down her spine in disgust. Falling in love was a weakness, the worst kind. It lowered your inhibitions and left you helpless. She was too good for such a thing. She was so completely devoted to her cause and blinded to her loyalty to Odin and her sister Valkyries that she would never have allowed herself to feel affection for anyone that wasn't her family. It was a betrayal.

Not to mention what would happen to her if her family ever found out.

They would disgrace her, disown her...probably kill her.

Falling in love would mean placing another above her duty and her family. It would mean forming a loyalty to another that was stronger than that of her calling.

Valkyries didn't fall in love, they rarely even had lovers. Instead, they were married to their cause. They collected the spirits of the strong as Odin commanded and sent them to Valhalla. That was it.

Now, though.

Now, Tamsin knew what it felt like. Somewhere along the line, she had fallen in love with Bo and there was no turning back from it, not anymore.

Gods knew she had certainly tried. She had tried with everything in her to push away her feelings and steel her heart against her desires. She knew her mission. She wouldn't allow something as stupid as love keep her from doing her duty to her God and her people.

Only, Tamsin had been wrong on one aspect. Very, very wrong.

Where she had thought, once upon a time, that love would only make her weak, her love for Bo made her strong. She realized it gave her something to fight for, something to live for. Tamsin had never realized just how pathetic her life was, until she met Bo. She never realized how empty she was all the time. She never realized that she had been dead, until that damn succubus had walked into her life.

It was ironic, she thought, how one could be dead yet breathing at the same time, but it was how she felt. The brunette had awakened something inside her, something she never even knew existed. Bo had opened her eyes.

She never knew just how stupid she had been. She never knew that one needed to love to live. The two walked hand in hand and it was a hard lesson that the Succubus had taught her.

With brutal clarity, she understood just how dangerous her feelings were. Sure, they made her better, stronger. She had never been as dangerous as she was now because now she had something to die for, something much stronger than the loyalty to her God or her family.

If they ever found out, she would be dead.

The funny thing, she found, was that she didn't really care. If she was going to die, she would rather it be for something worth dying for.

And Bo...well, Bo was definatly worth dying for.

As soon as she admitted that to herself, she felt her world shift irrevocably. The solid ground she had once stood upon crumbled, and it left her unbalanced. She was in uncharted territory, giving her heart to another, and she had absolutely no fucking clue where to begin.

But she did know that she couldn't stay away any longer. She couldn't force herself to be numb anymore. Bo had melted the ice surrounding her heart and there was no getting that back. Everything in her screamed for the succubus. It was that aura around her that drew Tamsin in, like a moth to a flame.

The brunette was so much like her. She was a strong, fierce and unyielding warrior - one of the best Tamsin had ever seen, despite her sometimes sloppy technique and sometimes rash judgment. She was fiercely loyal and honorable as well as fearless and courageous. She never went against her code or morals, though Tamsin's morals were far less glamorous than Bo's. She was heard-headed and stubborn and possessed a sarcastic and witty humor. In the face of danger, she stood unflinching with her shoulders set and head held high and determination in her eyes.

Yet, they were so different. Tamsin had never met anyone as compassionate as Bo, nor as passionate in their beliefs. The succubus had even forgone choosing an alignment just because she felt like humans were treated unfairly. She never judged anyone just because of their actions, only their hearts, and she had this amazingly huge ability to forgive. Her capacity to love was boundless. She was truly everything that was good in the world and she proved it every single day. Bo, the Champion of the weak and defenseless, the Succubus who had such reverence for life.

It was impossible not to fall in love with such a person.

As her feelings had grown every day, she found it impossible to deny or hide it any longer. Instead, she cast away the fear she felt when she thought of what her family and Master would do to her when they found out she had forsaken them. She would, after all, rather die in Bo's arms than live without them.

It was a harsh reality, but she surrendered to it. She would give her life to live again.

As she looked into Bo's glistening brown eyes, she decided right then, right there, watching the succubus pack Lauren's things into that 'sad, sad little box'. She knew her decision would most likely mean Acacia's death but, as she stood before the brunette, she found that the love she felt toward her sister and mentor paled in comparison to the love she felt for this magnificent woman. Silently, thought, she asked for the older woman's forgiveness, hoping that she would understand what she was about to do.

I forsake you, she thought, knowing that Odin could hear her. She could practically feel the God's outrage but it didn't matter. She knew that, with Bo at her side, be it as a lover or a friend, she could take on anything.

Even the King of the Norse Gods himself.

Because, yeah, love made her stronger. Loving Bo was the reason she went on, the reason she was alive again and that was something they could never take away from her. She felt empowered and she smiled to herself knowing that, when they came for her, they would see why you never messed with someone who fought for the person they loved.

She knew nothing would every likely come from it. Bo was in love with Lauren, painfully so, and even if she wasn't, wolf-boy was always lurking right around the corner. Both were so much better for the succubus that she was, even if Lauren was only human. All she could offer Bo now was a life of war. Now that she had forsaken her people, they would likely hunt her the rest of her life and that wasn't something she wanted to shoulder Bo with. No, Dyson and Lauren could offer her a life of peace with marriage and rugrats and a dog, maybe (though with Dyson, they already had the dog part covered, she thought with a smile). Not one filled with death and always-changing identities and running.

Bo had already seen enough of that life.

"Tamsin?" A soft, concerned voice broke her from her thoughts and she focused her attention back on the succubus. "You seem a little out of it."

"Sorry..." the Valkyrie murmured almost sadly, "I got lost in my mind there for a second."

"Hey," the warm weight of Bo's hand settled on her forearm and her body almost automatically erupted in tingles, "what's wrong?"

Tamsin offered a half-hearted, pathetic smile. "Nothing. The real problem here is you."

Bo chuckled slightly. "How about I make you a deal?" At Tamsin's curious raised eyebrow, the succubus continued, "How about I'll tell you my woes if you tell me yours?"

The Valkyrie lowered her eyes. "It's not that simple Bo."

The brunette rolled her eyes and shifted closer to the blond warrior, speaking softly, "I thought we were past this bullshit." At Tamsin's narrowed, questioning eyes, she continued, "I thought we were past lying to each other and hiding behind walls. I thought you trusted me."

Tamsin sighed and rolled her eyes, "I do, but it's not something you could understand," or forgive, she added silently.

"Try me."

She had to smile. It was just like Bo, to be so tenacious and to put others before herself. Here she was, after a recent and emotional break-up, offering Tamsin a shoulder as if she didn't have enough problems.

"You have enough of your own drama to worry about now. You don't need mine too."

"Hey, you're my friend. That means I'm there for you, no matter what. I know you're new to the whole 'friendship' thing, but that's pretty much how it works," Bo stated, determination glistening in her eyes.

Friends, the Valkyrie thought with a pang of sadness, that's all we'll ever be. But she knew that, if friendship was all Bo could offer her, she would take it in a heartbeat. Suddenly, she understood Dyson so much better. She could never understand why he hung around Bo like a lost puppy, despite how much it hurt him to see the one he loved with another...now, she got it. As cliché as it was, he would rather be in Bo's life as a friend than not at all and she felt the same way.

"So, what happened with Lauren?" The Valkyrie avoided. At Bo's glare, she smirked and held up her hands, "Hey, I'm just doing the whole 'friendship' thing."

Bo sighed, but let it go for now. "This isn't over," she warned with a pointed look, grabbing her glass of wine and taking a swig. She swallowed leisurely, almost as if she was trying to buy time. "She told me she wasn't happy...with me." She continued after a few moments of silence. At the heartbreak in Bo's eyes, Tamsin silently cursed the 'good' doctor. Who in their right mind wouldn't be happy with Bo? "She said she's tired, like she's losing herself and that she's always going to be asking more from me than I can give to her." Bo trailed off with a humorless, sad chuckle, taking another swig from her glass. "She told me that we needed to take a 'break', but I know it's more than that. It's over." Her voice caught and Tamsin could clearly make out the trembling of Bo's bottom lip.

Please, Bo. Please don't cry, she found herself silently begging, even though she knew it was useless.

Tears began leaking from the Succubus' eyes and Tamsin found herself pulling the other woman uncharistically into her arms. Bo clung to her, burying her face in the Valkyrie's shoulder as her body was wracked with sobs and, though the blond had longed to feel her love in her arms, this was definatly not what she'd had in mind, nor what she wanted. Bo's pain was literally like her own, cutting into her heart and soul and she would give anything to sooth it.

Instead, she did what she could, lifting a hand to gently caress the woman's dark chocolate locks, even as she buried her face in them and tightened her hold. The succubus was nearly in her lap and yet, it didn't seem close enough to her.

It was many minutes before Bo's crying slowed, nearly a half-an-hour, but to Tamsin it felt like a lifetime. Every breathless sob, every gasp for air, every tear the succubus shed cut into her like a knife. It wasn't until the tears and sniffles had stopped completely that Bo pulled away, her eyes swollen and red. To Tamsin, though, she was still beautiful.

The succubus eyed the wet patch on the blonde's red tank-top and then smiled a very small, sheepish smile. "I'm sorry about that..."

"No," Tamsin cut in, before the succubus could offer any excuse, "You have nothing to be sorry for."

Bo held her eyes, her own filled with gratefulness. "Thanks. It's just that, usually when I have an emotional breakdown, Kenzie's the one that has to reap the benefits. But you were here, and I felt safe with you and I just..."

"Hey," the Valkyrie interrupted again, though her heart soared when Bo said she felt safe with her, "You don't have to give me any excuses. Like you said...we're friends and, though it's all a bit new for me, I'm here for you."

Bo smiled a genuine smile and placed a hand on top of Tamsin's. "Thank you. It means a lot."

Tamsin simply smile and nodded awkwardly, not knowing what else to say even as she reeled from the succubus' touch. Dammit, Tamsin. Get a hold of yourself. The last thing she needs right now is you lusting after her like a hormonal teenage boy!

"Maybe it's for the best," The brunette continued, pulling her hand away and down casting her eyes.

Tamsin's brow furrowed. "What do you mean? I thought you loved the Doc?"

Bo sighed. "I do. Very much, actually...But, I mean, who were we kidding? No matter how much I wanted to ignore it, Lauren is human and I'm a succubus. As much as we both liked to pretend that me having to feed from others didn't affect us or our relationship, we both knew that it did. She acted like it didn't and, even though she understood that I didn't really have a choice, it hurt her. I could see it. She was right; she was always going to be asking things of me that I can't give. Monogamy is just one of those. It's impossible for me to be monogamous with a human. I can't give her stability or a normal life. For the first time in over five years, she's free from the Ash and her enslavement to the Light and instead of enjoying her freedom like she should be, she's stuck here, tied to me, tied to my world. Plus everything that's been happening with the Dawning...I've been ignoring her and I haven't had any time for her-"

"Wait," Tamsin cut in, her voice sharp with anger toward the Doctor, "She broke up with you because you were training for the Dawning?" That insensitive, selfish little bitch. When I get my hands on her...

"No...Well, sorta," Bo answered, her voice speaking of her own confusion. "I don't know...I think it was more that she wasn't a part of it while you, Kenzie and even Dyson were. I think that's what got to her the most...Dyson. She's always been insecure and scare that I would leave her for him, especially now that he has his love back but-" Bo abruptly cut herself off, instead taking a swig of her glass.

"But what?" Tamsin pressed.

"Nothing."

The Valkyrie's eyes narrowed suspiciously, but she let it pass. A few moments passed in silence, both women drinking quietly from their glasses before Tamsin abruptly broke the silence. "I'm sorry," she said softly, fixating her gaze on the liquid in her glass.

"About what?" Bo asked just as softly.

"I...I told her about...about what happened in Brazenwood," The Valkyrie admitted shamefully.

"I know."

Tamsin's eyes shot up, meeting the succubus' compassionate, understanding ones. "You know?"

"She told me," Bo stated softly.

"Ah." The blond lowered her eyes again, unable to hold the Succubus' gaze.

"Hey, it's OK. It's not your fault. Lauren and I had our own problems long before Brazenwood. It's just taken me until now to finally admit them to myself. Besides, I kissed you back. That's not all on you...and...I have a feeling that I wasn't the only one unfaithful that night." It was spoken as a whisper, barely audible, but Tamsin heard it as clearly as if it had been shouted.

Her eyes once more darted up. "What?" She asked sharply.

It was Bo's turn to downcast her gaze as she busied herself with swirling the liquid in her glass. "That night, after you left...Lauren didn't come home until almost two in the morning. She looked...I don't know...ruffled. Her hair was disarrayed, her dress was wrinkled, that kind of stuff. When I asked her where she had been, she just said an 'after party', but she wouldn't look me in the eyes."

"You think she slept with someone," Tamsin stated matter-of-factly.

The brunette nodded. "I do." Her voice was sullen and withdrawn, almost emotionless, but Tamsin could feel the pain underneath it. "But what right do I have to be angry or judge her for it? I've been sleeping with other people for months now. Not to mention I've been training constantly for the Dawning and I haven't had much time for her."

"That's different," Tamsin said heatedly, feeling a deep-seated rage almost overwhelm her at the thought of Lauren being unfaithful to this woman and seeing Bo blame herself for it, "you had no choice. If you hadn't have fed, you would have died. Did you like doing that? Would you have remained faithful and monogamous to Lauren if had been possible?" The Warrior demanded, and Bo nodded quickly. "Then she doesn't have an excuse. If she loved you as much as she said, she wouldn't have slept with anyone else, regardless if you had or not."

Bo nodded. "Logically, I know what you're saying is true, but I can't help but feel like it's my fault, somehow."

"Hey," the blonde said sharply, setting down her glass quickly and grasping the other woman's chin with a firm, but gentle hand even as she lifted Bo's eyes to meet her own, "Lauren cheating on you is not your fault." Tamsin made sure each word was clearly enunciated and stressed, trying to force the brunette to understand. "That's all on her. Like you said, it takes two to tango. She made the decision to fuck someone else. She made the decision. Not you. As for your training and you missing her event, that's not an excuse. She should know how important the Dawning is, how life-and-death it is. Your training literally saved your life and if she didn't see that because she was too caught up in the fact that you weren't spending every waking minute doting on her, that's on her too."

Tamsin knew she was being harsh but she didn't know any other way and she would be damned if she let Bo wallow in self-pity for something that wasn't even her fault. With each word she spoke, however, she seemed to get more and more angry and Bo could see it in her eyes.

The succubus smiled slightly, placing her hand on Tamsin's wrist. The touch almost instantly soothed her anger. "I didn't know you cared so much, Tam."

Despite herself, the Valkyrie had to smile at the nickname. The only person in her life that had ever given her a nickname was Acacia. It felt nice. "Yeah," she stated nonchalantly, trying to play it off as no big deal even as she released the brunette's chin from her hold, "Neither did I succubitch." Bo smiled.

"Thanks, though. I think I needed to hear that...and no one's ever been that straightforward to me besides Kenzie," Bo said sincerely, her deep brown eyes practically pools of molten chocolate they looked so warm.

Tamsin looked away, shuffling uncomfortably as she realized just how dangerously close she had come to revealing her true feelings toward the Succubus just from the heat and vehemence in her voice during her little speech. Just friends, just friends, the blond repeated to herself, even as Bo finished the wine in her glass and stood.

"Well," she announced quietly, "It's late."

"Yeah," Tamsin replied, repeating Bo's actions. "I should get going."

A sudden look of shyness crossed the succubus' face and Tamsin's brow furrowed slightly. "Um...actually..." she stuttered uncharistically and the Valkyrie couldn't help but smile at how cute it looked even as she raised an inquiring eyebrow.

"Yes?"

"Well...I was...I just thought..." The succubus was now fiddling with her hands, her eyes focused on the floor and her bottom lip caught between her teeth.

Tamsin found herself melting into a puddle of goo. This was a side to the succubus she had never, ever seen before, nor even suspected could possibly exist. A shy, nervous Bo? Dear Gods, the brunette was the most self-assured, confident woman she had ever met! Even during the parasite incident, this Bo had not made an appearance. Tamsin found it almost pathetic just how much she wanted to say 'Awwwwwwww!'.

Instead, she opted for, "Just spit it out, Bo. I haven't got all night." Though the words were harsh, she couldn't bring herself to possibly speak them that way, instead sounding gentle and encouraging.

Bo lifted her eyes, locking with Tamsin's blues. "I was just wondering if you might want to stay...I mean, it is kind of late and I don't feel comfortable with you driving home at this hour and I would feel better if you were here and-"

"Whoa, whoa!" Tamsin interrupted with a chuckle. A rambling Bo...another thing she never thought she'd see. "Easy there before you hurt yourself Hotpants." Bo smiled. "But, to answer your question, yeah, I'll stay." The succubus' beaming smile made it worth it. "I guess I'll just...uh...sleep on the couch then."

"No!" Bo's vehement response startled the Valkyrie and only years upon years of training still her body's natural reaction to jump in surprise. "I mean, no," Be began in a softer voice, still sounding quite shy, "That couch is terrible to sleep on and besides, I've got a King sized bed. It'll fit both of us."

Tamsin balked at the thought of sharing a bed with Bo under the guise of friendship. Gods, to sleep next to that woman she loved all night and not be able to touch her! Surely, this was Odin's punishment. This was her punishment for forsaking her clan.

Bo seemed to see the horror on the Valkyrie's face and her own fell slightly. "Or, you could sleep in Kenzie's bed...or I'll sleep on the couch."

It was the blonde's turn to refuse. "No way. If you won't let me sleep on it, what makes you think I'll let you? And there's no telling what goes on in Kenzie's bed...yours is fine, really." She spoke the words without thinking, sealing her fate of not getting a single wink of sleep tonight.

But, once again, Bo's smile made it worth it. "Ok, great."

With that, the succubus turned and headed toward the stairs, Tamsin following dutifully behind. Soon enough, they were in Bo's bedroom and the brunette hurriedly walked toward her dresser and began digging through the drawers, pulling out sleep clothes even as Tamsin eyed the bed with trepidation.

Dear Gods, this was going to be torture.

"Here," Bo said, handing the blonde a t-shirt and a pair of cotton shorts, "You can sleep in this."

Tamsin accepted the offered clothing and a small, strained smile and a nod. "Thanks."

Her eyes widened as Bo turned back toward the dresser, pulling her shirt over her head as she walked. As soon as the black tank had been tossed into a corner with the rest of her dirty laundry, her tanned hands reached behind her to unclip the black lace bra before slipping it off her shoulders and likewise tossing it in the corner. Her boots and tight black pants soon followed, leaving the brunette in just a pair matching black lace underwear.

Tamsin's mouth went dry as she watched the muscles flex beneath silky, slightly-tanned skin with Bo's every movement as the succubus rummaged around in the drawers once again. She couldn't help but run her eyes along the expanse of the other woman's back, taking in the muscular shoulders, slim waistline, flared hips and voluptuously curved ass before tracing her eyes down legs that must have gone on forever. Dear Gods, if this wasn't the finest specimen of a woman to ever walk the earth, she didn't know who was?!

She was enthralled as Bo slipped a tiny pair of pink sleep shorts up her legs, following the curve of the succubus' ass as she bent over, and her mouth watered as she thought about how much she wanted to kiss, lick and nibble every inch of perfect skin she saw. It was, however, the uncomfortable flood of wetness between her own legs to break her out of her trance and she silently cursed herself as she, too, quickly turned her back and began stripping. She had her 'sleep' clothes on in record time, even though she felt ridiculous wearing them.

She never saw Bo's small smile as the succubus felt the blonde's energy spike to levels well above a ten. "Right or left?" She asked, turning her head to sneak a glance at the blond only to feel slightly disappointed when Tamsin was already dressed.

"Hmm?" The Valkyrie responded absentmindedly, even as she mentally berated herself about keeping control.

"Do you sleep on the right or the left?" The succubus repeated, slipping her t-shirt quickly over her head before she turned to face the blonde.

"Oh, um...it doesn't matter. Usually I sleep in the middle of the bed, so either is fine." Tamsin's blue eyes looked everywhere but the brunette, knowing that if she looked again, she might not be able to look away.

"Alright, sounds good," Bo replied with a small smile, making her way to the bed and pulling back the covers. Tamsin followed suite, slipping into the opposite side and turning onto her side, her back facing the succubus. Still, she could feel the body-heat radiating from the other woman and it called to her - no, screamed at her.

This was going to be torture.

It seemed like hours had passed as Tamsin lay there, rigid and as stiff as a board, her eyes wide open and her ears listening intently to every single movement that the other woman made. Bo shifted and changed position often and, though Tamsin know it should annoy her to all end, she couldn't find herself to feel anything close to it.

"Tamsin? Are you awake?" Bo whispered softly several moments later, shifting closer.

If possible, Tamsin stiffened more. "Yeah."

"Can I ask you something?" There was a shyness and vulnerability in Bo's voice that Tamsin just couldn't ignore so she turned to look over her shoulder at the brunette's outline.

"Sure."

"Can you...uh..."

"Yes?" Tamsin prodded.

Several seconds later, Bo finally replied. "Can you hold me?"

It was a request that filled Tamsin with both dread and glee. On one hand, she knew that, if simply sleeping next to the brunette was this hard, then holding her was going to be much worse. Plus, she knew it would mean something totally different for her than it would the succubus. For Bo, it would be an act of comfort and friendship. For Tamsin...well, it would still be an act of comfort but it would mean so much more than friendship. On the other hand, she wanted to just scream 'yes!' and pull the other woman into her arms.

"It's just that...whenever I feel really sad, Kenzie usually holds me while I sleep." Tamsin couldn't help the stab of jealousy she felt when she heard that but she quickly forced it away as Bo continued, "And...Well, Kenzie isn't here but it would be nice if you could..."

She didn't know if it was for completely selfish reasons, or because of the vulnerability in that voice that made Tamsin answer with a soft 'Ok'

Bo scooted closer and the Valkyrie took that as her cue as she rolled onto her opposite side and also scooted over, opening her arms so the other woman could slip into them.

She was unprepared for the feel of Bo's body molding to her own and she barely suppressed a moan. It was the first time they had been so close and the heat radiating off of the other woman nearly suffocated her. However, it was the flood of warmth that filled her soul as Bo snuggled deeper into her embrace and rested her head on the blonde's chest that most affected her.

Nothing had ever felt as perfect to her as holding Bo in her arms.

"Thank you, Tam," the succubus whispered softly, and it was only moments before her breathing evened and she slipped into her dreams with a small, happy smile on her face.

Tamsin took a long moment to study the Succubus' peaceful expression. Unable to resist, she lifted a hand and gently traced a soft cheekbone with her thumb, reveling in the feel of that silky skin beneath her fingertips. As she held the woman she loved in her arms, a contented peace she had never known filled her. She could almost imagine that, tonight, right now, the Succubus was hers...and, even if she woke up in the morning and Bo was nothing but her friend, she would still be happy. Because at least she was able to hold her tonight.

Yeah, Odin. You can go fuck yourself. Even if I die tomorrow, she's more than worth it, the blond Valkyrie thought as she bend her head and pressed a gentle kiss on the brunette's forehead. Her arms tightened around the smaller woman, pulling her closer and she, too, drifted into the land of sleep.

Authors Note; So, I'll probably turn this into a three or four shot. I already have the second chapter half-way written, so I know it will at LEAST be a two-shot.

I'm very, very quickly falling in love with Valkubus, even though I've been nothing but a Doccubus shipper since the first episode. I just don't know what it is about this pair, though...I love Tamsin to DEATH, she's probably my third favorite character after Bo and Kenzie. During the Brazenwood episode - hell, the Kitsune-kidnapping episode- I squealed like a girl (of course, I AM a girl, but that's irreverent). Every time you see these two together, sparks practically fly off the screen and I adore it.

So yes, I am now a Valkubus shipper even with my deep love of Doccubus.

Please review! However, any Valkubus hate-reviews or rants about how Doccubus is perfect and Tamsin sucks WILL BE DELEATED. This fic is clearly marked as a Bo/Tamsin ROMANCE, so if you don't like it, please don't read it!
