Warnings: Violence, gore, sex - all the fun things!
Summary: For konnichipuu . Steampunk AU: Civil war has torn the country of Nihon apart. On an abandoned battlefield, a scrap-scavenger stumbles upon the sole survivor buried amongst the wreckage. Why this man, why now, after everything that has gone before?
A/N: konnichipuu has done so many wonderful fanarts for me lately that when she wondered if anyone might be interested in giving this picture a story, I immediately was, and then she went and taunted me with this bit of pure sex...  And I was hooked.  A steampunk setting for these guys presents an interesting opportunity to play with a lot of themes of loyalty to loved ones or to country largely because it has this wonderful way of putting Kurogane in the middle of bombastic, mechanized warfare and stripping him of his seeming indestructibility (bullets and explosives are an amazing equalizer on the battlefield)...
