A/N: Apologies all around for the long delay on this chapter - I've been working hard on finishing the fic a very kind donor purchased for the Help_Japan auction, and decided that my baby needed to settle a bit on the back-burner for that. On the bright side, now that that has moved into editing phase, you all get an extra-long chapter! Hope you enjoy~!

konnichipuu is a goddess? She really is! She drew the most wickedly darling Tomoyo for this chapter... I am the most wonderfully spoiled ficcer, EVAR!

A/N: Sooo...I've decided, after careful consideration, to keep the chapters of this fic short and restricted to one time frame. The story itself bounces around a lot (because I am apparently incapable of writing anything "serious" [yes, that gets scare quotes, because it is scary!] without long inner battles over structure and presentation and how best to play with all of your heads...), so I feel the best way to keep everyone (including myself) from exploding is to present short, neat chapters. I'm very open to suggestions/criticisms as well; this fic scares me on sort of a visceral level because Bottan keeps producing beautiful artwork (like this) and I want to write somethingworthy, dammit!
So, having said that...this chapter ended up being mostly exposition. ^^;; Ahahaha... I'm just going to hope it doesn't bore everyone to tears...

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)...
