Heian era AU. Kitsune!Natori infiltrates the Matoba clan and elopes with its heir to be. Part of a series? 1/? -- Might be writing vignettes for this instead, as it's a complex idea that I just don't have the energy to explore in a full-fledged multi-chapter style. We'll see.

Title from a Placebo song. Below is from Myths Concerning Lizards.

"a Maori belief was that evil spirits in lizard form entered bodies of men and consumed their vitals, so causing death. When an expert was called in to treat the case he would pose as an exorcist and expel the malignant spirit from the body of the sufferer." and

"Lizards were sometimes placed at the entrance to caves wherein bones of the dead were deposited, and at other places whereat trespass by unauthorised persons was dreaded, and they seem to have been highly effective guardians. Not only would these creatures inspire dread in the minds of trespassers by their presence, but also would there be a conviction that some magic had been laid on the tapu place, all of which meant that the anger of certain atua would descend upon any offender."

Fascinating stuff. RIP me.

Word Count: 1217
A/N:

- hitting these prompt deadlines like a boss, aw yeah
- AU - they both lose.
- Seiji's predictions about Natori losing his left leg come true.
- Seiji loses against the monster after his right eye.
- Natori is the nice guy that reaches out, Seiji makes a power grab.
- (of course, it's all domestic, sappy pairing fic here)

“Come here, before you get lost.” Seiji’s lips drew back and he tried not to scowl. Hard to do these days when half his face was tissue that didn’t move. “Lost,” he mocked, pressing back into Shuuichi’s space, watching a hundred shadows pace around them like a blind moving with sun streaming through. 'Could happen,' Shuuichi murmured. )

1. Blue touch paper: commonly used when lighting fuses, also an idiom for igniting an angry/violent conversation among a group of people.
2. Trying to capture Shuuichi's particular brand of prickliness and angst is making me realize how alone he actually is as the sole heir of the Natori clan.
3. Seiji already being familiar with how to navigate bad situations because that's just his family's style, and realizing that Natori's a wreck in the face of it is also a particular brand of D: D: D:

Seiji is wearing a fox mask when Natori spots him. It’s different from his usual getup. His white kimono is overlapped with a gray robe, and it softens the shock of dark hair draped around his shoulders -- longer, Natori thinks absently, tugging at his scarf, then the last time he’d spotted him at an open door meeting like this. )
