Flesh and Blood is a Teknoman AU written by Cyblade Silver that involves both Slade and Saber being rescued from becoming servants of Darkon. With 21 chapters so far, each chapter corresponding to slightly more than a full episode of the series, it's a fairly long read, so consider setting aside a weekend if you want to read the whole thing.

Not to be confused with the 1985 film Flesh+Blood.


Tropes used in Flesh and Blood include:
