What We’re Fighting For

I have only seen scenes of RE: Infinite Darkness. I have seen enough at minimum to say that Leon can pull off a suit. It’s not talked about in the fic, but the reason Xander feels weird about wearing blue is that that’s Vergil’s color. He feels weird about purple, because that’s Sparda’s and he doesn’t feel like he deserves to wear it, and red is also weird but at least he was briefly Dante so even if he’s ‘stealing’ it, it feels less weird to him. It’s more like continuing to use something he accidentally stole than stealing something new. (He thinks about this way too much.)
Also these two are adorable and I love writing them.
(I have now seen RE: Infinite Darkness. I love competent detective!Leon and I disagree with Claire. Man can pull off a suit.)

Possible series names: Hold My Heart, You Hold My Heart, The Heart Finds a Perch, Highest State of Art, Latticework of Dreams, others I'm not thinking of?  I'm leaning toward one of the first two if no one has an opinion, so might end up just choosing one of those soon if I don't get feedback.  All but the chapter title are from The Sweet Escape by the Poets of the Fall, because "my fierce friend" (which interestingly just exists in the English version, not the French one) and the emphasis on compassion are very these two.
