Fifteen point fanfiction written for my guilty crack ship, Claude/Grell. Naturally all of these are in some odd AU.
1. Music
For all Grell's mooning over the adaptations of Shakespeare, it was tunes from Carmen that Claude would hear her hum as she walked away when they parted.
2. Angel
"If I really am an angel of death, I wonder where my wings are."
3. Lace
He had expected her laughter when she had found him crocheting, but instead she had sat nearby and silently watched his hands turn the thread into the designs he saw in his mind.
4. Silence
Sometimes she was loud. Other times she said nothing at all for days, and he had to guess why.
5. Devil
"You understand I just might corrupt you."
6. Crack
He liked it better when her mind was in pieces, and he could change the shape it would take for a little while.
7. Nature
One of the things Grell treasured most was how he let her be her.
8. Hope
He showed her how humanity kept changing enough to stay entertaining when she grew depressive.
9. Kink
Her neck was sensitive to the point of being unfair.
10. Urban
Human ideas of class and division were always fun to experiment with.
11. War
She made Claude tell her about the ones he'd seen, so she could imagine the scenes and their accompanying emotions.
12. Apples
She treasured not so much the fruit as the way he had looked in the light when he'd handed it to her.
13. Style
It was equally much how you did whatever you did, she insisted, and he simply shrugged.
14. Fall
Metaphorically, she'd let herself drop at his word.
15. Honour
The idea of aesthetics over a reputation grew more attractive the more he explained it.
