Title: Always Like This
Author: daegaer
Fandom: Léon (The Professional)/Weiß Kreuz
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Prompt: (44) To gain that worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else. -- Bernadette Devlin.
Summary: Mathilda and Sakura's childhood experiences of assassins were not the same.
Author's Note: Thanks to toscas_kiss for beta-ing! This is a WK AU, in which Sakura has spent more time with Schwarz, and Schuldig has made good on his sarcastic crack about her becoming a hitman. The fic takes its title from an early conversation between Mathilda and Léon:

Mathilda: Is life always this hard, or just when you're a kid?
Léon: Always like this.
