HAY GUYS! You remember those prompts I took back at X-mas? That I failed to write ANYTHING for thanks to raging neuroses and an excellent gift for procrastination? No? Well surprisingly, I DO, ahaha... ha.

ANYWAY, back then both alankria and eisen asked for something with Raule, and eisen specifically asked for "Raule and a heart in a box", iirc. While I was working on kink_bingo TEC fic, I suddenly had inspiration for that one. (Not that this is kinky. Disembodied hearts don't really do it for me. Sexually, I mean. Okay, I'm just going to stop this parenthetical aside before it gets any more creepy.)

So!

Fandom: The Etched City (KJ Bishop)
Prompt: Raule and a heart in a box
