    Summary

    Ada didn't allow herself to feel many weaknesses, but standing on death's door and after watching Raccoon City explode, she couldn't help but limp to her lonely, torturous hotel room, just as she couldn't help but pass out from exhaustion. She just didn't expect to wake up in a completely different place. She truly wasn't worthy of a second of peace, not even on the brink of death.

    Or:

    For the first time in a long time, Leon felt a sense of tranquility in his life. He had secured the elpis for everyone who needed it, including his (finally) wife, Ada Wong, and himself. Both felt brand new. After a long, wonderful, sleepless night, Leon woke up and went to make coffee for them. He just didn't expect to come across a much younger version of Ada, covered in injuries and wrapped in trauma, standing right by the bed. He truly wasn't worthy of a second of peace, not even after escaping death.

    Summary

    “I think we both know this . . . is where we go our separate ways.”

    Ada turns her back to him in an instant. “I see.”

    She grabs a side handle and pulls up a leg, about to climb into the chopper, but stops. Pivots around. Her heels clack against the metal platform as she storms her way towards him, determination powering every step. And before he knows what’s happening, she’s grabbed him by his shirt and crashed her lips against his.

    OR: An exploration of whether a kiss can really change anything.

    Summary

    Ada glides forward, brushing imaginary dust from Leon’s doublet with surprising tenderness. “How terribly I've missed you.”

    His eyes narrow. “You have scarcely been gone a fortnight. My lady.”

    “It felt an eternity,” she sighs.

    “It did?” he asks, almost laughing at the absurdity. Until he feels the sharp pain of her fingernails digging through his clothes. “It did,” he corrects, teeth clenched. “For me as well.”

    𐫱

    Since mere toddlerhood, Lord Leon Kennedy has known he is to one day marry Lady Ada Wong. The only issue is that he hates her, and she very much feels the same. Except, rather inconveniently, they also can't seem to keep their hands off each other. Which is exactly what has led them into a bit of a... pickle. Ada, pregnant; the two of them, still unmarried.

    Title from I Want You To Love Me by Fiona Apple

    Summary

    Yes, it would be tonight of all times, wouldn’t it? Leon could have chalked it up to wishful thinking or perhaps paranoia. But his gut sensed it. A sixth sense formed to anticipate this entity attached to him. 

    It was a spell of the night: a moonless sky, petrichor suspended in the air, the discreet passing of wind through wet trees. Akin to a spectre, she was only to appear when the circumstances deemed it right.

    Leon remained there in front of the open refrigerator door, crouched in a low squat with his back to the presence hovering behind him. He could already hear the resonance of her voice echoing from his memories before she spoke.

    “Hey there, stranger.”

    On a rainy April night, Leon wanders through a liquor store. Plagued by insomnia, he seeks comfort for his ailments. As usual, Ada Wong arrives when Leon needs her most.
