A/N: Should have some big updates ready, soon.

For now, I hope you enjoy this little fragment, of sorts...

As ever we're still sticking to the "Embers" rule here, folks. If folks don't like this...well, I won't continue something no one likes. Every review, every comment, no matter how large or small, keeps me writing in spite of my busy work schedule. I don't get days off anymore, so I try to respond when I can, but lately it feels like this has become a job in and of itself; albeit one I don't get paid for, one that it is often thankless...

So here we are, a fragment that never came, so on, so forth, etc...

As ever, I own no quotes, references, media or memes.

Hopefully this puts a great big smile on your face.

Again, this is a teaser. For what, you ask?

Remember that Fate Zero story...?

The one I mentioned awhile back?

Read and see.

"A fox for a fox. Fitting no?

A Laughing Fox

Tamamo opened her eyes.

Her summoning was a sudden thing; she'd accepted on a whim, out of curiosity nothing more.

"Caster this time, hmm...?" she stretched with a yawn. "Fair, I suppose. Now where is...?

She did not expect the body.

A blond man sat atop the ruined corpse of a man -Ryunosuke- looking at her intently, one leg crossed over the other.

Bright blue eyes blinked. Once. Twice. Thrice. He saw her ears. Her tail.

A slow, satisfied smile stretched across whiskered cheeks.

"Well," he chuckled. "Ain't this ironic."

Laughter filled the room.

A/N: Once more the fate of this teaser depends on you, and its bloody obvious where it comes from.

And there we go. With luck, I'll see you guys and gals again in a few hours, time and life permitting.

Or not. I don't know. Need to have a word with my bosses(s) about all this extra work.

So...in the immortal words of Atlas...

...Revieeeeew, Would You Kindly?

No previews once again.

So terribly tired.

R&R! =D
