Fic: Saiyuki - Scorched Earth
Fandom: Saiyuki
Title: Scorched Earth
Author/Artist: Avierra
Warnings: language
Pairing(s): Cho Hakkai (aka Eric von Wermut)/ Sha Gojyo (aka Charles Rideau)
Notes: For the Battle #1 challenge prompt: Gojyo/Hakkai WWII soldiers who met on the battlefield, but act on their love after the war. I hope this is up your alley, Anon! (Points to Gojyo)
The first time he sees his opponent’s face, it is through the lens of his sniper rifle’s telescopic sight. He watches as his opponent stands in the midst of his men, his sword out, his expression impassioned as he speaks to them. And they’re hanging on his every word. The guy’s some sort of wizard, apparently, masterfully leading his troops in and out of places they’d no business being. Like now.
Well, he isn’t where he’s supposed to be either, so he can’t really take exception to that.
