Summary
Twilight and Thorn Princess find themselves working on a joint mission.
They've kissed--several times, even--, but for some reason Loid is hesitant to take things further, and Yor is beginning to get frustrated (and doesn't fully understand what she wants yet). Will becoming Thorn Princess in her entirety embolden Yor to accept all sides of herself, and stop injuring Loid every time they get close? Or will Loid/Twilight break past his pathological need to let Yor make the first move?
Anyway, Loid and Yor learn things about themselves, and (eventually) about their daughter. Mostly, consider this a comparatively low-action study of how their trauma affects their intimacy.
Set in a post-reveal, early-relationship setting. WISE and Garden are working together.
"I was thinking... L-Twilight, Um, you look nice in all black."Of all the things... He looked at her. This was a mistake.
He'd seen that dress on her before; it was her favorite. He felt like he'd fallen in love with her in that dress. Maybe he had -- she'd worn it the night she proposed, and on some of their dates. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes shining, her gaze lingering on his hands as he loaded each weapon. Shit.

Summary
An interlude of one-shots. Will eventually be organized.
It's strange trusting anyone, loving anyone. It's been forbidden so long that Twilight doesn't know what to do with himself when it isn't.
Each chapter is standalone, depicting moments and conversations post reveal/love confession as Twiyor learn to let themselves feel. Tone details of each chapter in their summary, anywhere from heavy angst to pure fluff.
In order of publication:
1. Duality (Loid and Yor talk codenames)
2. Anya (An argument)
3. Bugs (Twilight sweeps Yor for bugs)
4. Butterflies and Flowers (Loid buys Yor flowers, my current favorite chapter)
5. The letter he (almost) wrote in flowers
6. A Frank(y) conversation (in which Franky gives Twilight shit)
7. Cuteness aggressionI always thought... Butterflies in one's stomach was a poor, inaccurate metaphor for a feeling that didn't exist. Perhaps I was wrong.
