This is iiiiiinteresting. Beautifully written, as always, and it's fascinating to see how closely this character dynamic (A/b, right? ;) hews to Swansong even if it's not in the same continuity. Your Ashe always seems so very possessive and so very dominant with Basch. Do you ever see it as being in-character for her to have a relationship that's less about her needs and more egalitarian?
