It was silly to think that it was the death of one man that began it all. That was stupid, self-centered. Childish. No, what really began it was life - life that was never his, life and lives that he so wanted to protect. /mafia!AU, angst angst angst.

A drabble/ficlet collection of the Phoenix x Miles kind, although the other characters will be getting some love, too. 4 - ...and sometimes Phoenix wonders if Miles will ever understand.

It's a wonder how someone who can easily butcher any matter of human being can have such an obvious soft spot for animals. Well...maybe it's not such a wonder, really. They're a lot alike, after all. /PWKM fill, very strong language.

My name is Pess, and I'm always alone. The white-coat-gods left me all alone. Miles left me all alone. No one ever needs me, do they? Even when I need them...they always disappear. Please stop...stop leaving me all alone... /multichap, anthro!Pess.
