Summary: Squalo ends up taking a bullet for Xanxus. It doesn't work out quite like either of them expects it to.
Notes: Over on Tumblr, insanescriptist request Squalo and Xanxus from the Sugar & Spice 'verse. This apparently gave my id permission to write the aftermath of the fem!Xanxus version of the whole TYL Byakuran mess with the special bullets and all that fun stuff. Explicit for smut, genderswitch, Beware of Feels. 3944 words.

( Squalo doesn't mean to break his promise to Xanxus, but he does it anyway and it happens like this: The meeting with the fucking Caraceni turns out to be a set-up, one with the sole purpose of getting the Vongola Tenth out in the open where the fucking Millefiore can get a shot at her. )

Notes: Adult for smut and explicit violence. Part of Sugar and Spice [Index]. Genderswitch, drama, angst, original characters, and mafia politics; see the notes post for additional notes on characters. 50558 words.

( After about a month of attending family dinners with Xanxus, Squalo couldn't keep his mouth shut any longer. 'Boss,' he said, once they were home again, safely within the walls of her rooms where the wrong ears weren't going to hear him. 'You think I can get away with killing Enrico?' )

Title: And Body and Soul

( Squalo wasn't a fan of letting his boss go off to dinners at the main house all by herself—not because she couldn't take care of herself, far from it, but because sometimes she didn't take care of herself out of some perverse stubbornness of her own, and he hated watching that happen. )
