Sword Art Online, Episode 10. It was this explosion of fiery passion that made me begin writing my wildly accurate SAO episode summaries (I’ve been calling them fanfictions, but they really follow the show quite accurately).
The most glorious moment is when Kuradeel sticks his sword into Kirito (or maybe Kirito stuck his sword into Kuradeel, I’m not entirely sure). Damn is that hot. Continue reading Kirito NTRs Asuna and Kuradeel — Eleven Days of Advent and One Day of Christmas #7
