Here it is, for all the RyuSae fans out there.

Pairing(s): RyuSae is the main ship. Bachirin, Tabiori, and KuniReo are side ships. Yeah. I know. They're weird side ships. Whatever.

Warnings: The usual sex and violence you can expect from me, except worse, because it's about actual fighting this time, and there's a lot of graphic shit. Rough sex. Intercourse described like murder. Suicidal ideation and uhhhh, read the tags. You have been explicitly told to READ THE TAGS.

Word Count: 6500+

Summary: Itoshi Sae is a bartender at an illegal underground fighting ring, working to support his younger brother's professional MMA career. Shidou Ryusei is a brutal and unconventional new fighter who rolls in one night, and finds himself utterly besotted by the cold, distant redhead serving drinks behind the counter. At first their attraction is purely physical, with Sae using Shidou to distract himself from the stresses of supporting Rin's dreams, and Shidou just looking for something young and pretty to entertain himself with at the end of the day, when there is nothingness. But perhaps they can find something beautiful buried in the ugly rubble of their broken, miserable lives. And maybe they'll learn that you don't have to sacrifice love for survival. Not every time.

Underground fighting AU.
