Notes: This was originally going to be my
khrminibang fic, but HAHA obviously it's a mile late. It's been finished for a long time, but I've been poking at it for what seems like forever now. NOT GONNA LIE: I AM SO SICK OF WORKING ON THIS. There's still SO much to improve on, but I don't even care at this point. /sob! I APOLOGIZE TO ANYONE WHO READS THIS MINDFUCKERY, and to anyone who tried to help this (likely) lost cause, ahaha. BAHHHH. /kicks fic!!
ALSO, uh. There might be some art accompanying this in the near future. 8D;;;
(EDIT sometime in October, lol: A few grammatical boo-boos fixed, haha. Serves me right for switching POVs and then not being thorough on post-switch verb-checking! ;A;.)
PROMPT:
Death is such a messy business. → from

The target has always been Sawada Tsunayoshi’s body. Always. So when you get a chance to work your way to the top of the Vongola through none other than its Right Hand Man, you aren't going to let it slip by. However, you should know by now that many of your schemes have yet to go as planned. * link above leads to this fic's permanent home on AO3
