Don't worry; Kurogane's past won't remain vague all the way through. ;3

I've actually planned zero sex for this fic, sorry. It's in the "Harlequin Heartwarming" category where no one except for married couples have sex, and all physical interaction is more about emotions instead of hormones.

I've been tossing around the idea of an epilogue containing sexy times, but the more I think about it the more it's mutating into a full-length sequel, so I've put a bear trap on its head for now. I don't want to start any more WIPs until I at least get Bonds of War and a few promised fills finished.
