Title: Complex Metamorphosis
Rating: M, for blood/violence, unhealthy relationships, and a lack of happy endings (so pretty much canon, but more so). Spoilers for volume 8.
Wordcount: 4249
Pairings/Characters: Ritsu/Soubi
Summary: He's never wanted to be a butterfly, pinned and posed under glass for someone else's pleasure... and he's not so sure that his desires can so easily be erased and rewritten. After meeting his new master, Soubi spends one last night with the old.
