Lost months ago he was brought here as a  gift, a thing of beauty and an object of pleasure, granted a public  affection&amp;mdash;now he&amp;rsquo;s alone with a stomach full of mangled innards and  traces of the Demonwebs clinging to his skin.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;Vizaeth  finds the same seat he claimed when Pharaun led him here and collapses  into it. Red mist coils faintly from his arms, full of ghostly spiders.  His hair hangs lank and bloody around his face, and he tucks a tangle of  strands behind his ear with a shaking hand. A clot of gore catches  under his nails. He flicks it to the floor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;You look like you&amp;rsquo;ve had a worse day than me,&amp;rdquo; a voice beside him slurs. &amp;ldquo;Fancy a drink?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s  a young male. Hair shaved into webs on the sides, dark makeup smeared  over eyes and lips, an outfit that speaks of expense and taste gone  spiralling down the drain over the course of the evening. He&amp;rsquo;s pretty.  He&amp;rsquo;s paying.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Yes,&amp;rdquo; Vizaeth says.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/32758.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author&apos;s Notes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt; Vizaeth&amp;rsquo;s Issues, meet Zeth&amp;rsquo;rinn&amp;rsquo;s Issues!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/10982.html&quot;&gt;Series Masterpost&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=space_writes&amp;ditemid=32758&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>Disintegration</title>

  <description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Disintegration&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fandom:&lt;/strong&gt; Original Work&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rating:&lt;/strong&gt; E&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Warnings:&lt;/strong&gt; Noncon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Relationship:&lt;/strong&gt; Superhero/Supervillain&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tags:&lt;/strong&gt; Blackmail, Power Imbalance, Age Gap, Gags, Restraints, Vaginal Sex, no little superhero don&amp;rsquo;t go into the abandoned warehouse!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wordcount:&lt;/strong&gt; 3414&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://archiveofourown.org/works/85569196&quot;&gt;AO3&lt;/a&gt; / &lt;a href=&quot;https://muse-space.neocities.org/original-writing/disintegration&quot;&gt;Neocities&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Summary: &lt;/strong&gt;Erin &amp;lsquo;Nightingale&amp;rsquo; Satake got her powers the day she turned 17. One year and a viral video later, she&amp;rsquo;s finally taking the step from wannabe to bonafide superhero. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then she gets a message. From someone who knows her real name. And if she doesn&amp;rsquo;t meet them, soon the whole world will know exactly who she is and she&amp;rsquo;ll have a target on her back for the rest of her life.         &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One abandoned warehouse. One freshly-minted superhero. One S-tier supervillain. What could possibly go wrong?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author&apos;s Notes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;recommended audio accompaniment - &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhkZGqkIjPg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Disintegration - Monarchy ft Dita Von Teese&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;My Dear Nightingale &amp;ndash; unless you would like the name  Erin Satake in the hands of every journalist in the country come  morning, you&amp;rsquo;ll pay me a midnight visit at the coordinates below. Oh,  and I&amp;rsquo;d advise you not to involve any of your caped friends&amp;mdash;a  mass-unmasking is a terrible thing to carry on one&amp;rsquo;s record. I&amp;rsquo;d hate  for it to mar yours.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;Erin looked up from the glow  of her phone to the dark, boxy shape of the warehouse looming before  her. She&amp;rsquo;d read the anonymous email countless times. Deleted it,  restored it, deleted it again, then pulled it out of the trash one last  time to copy the coordinates into her maps app. It was a hoax. It had to  be a hoax&amp;mdash;one of her &amp;lsquo;caped friends&amp;rsquo; playing a stupid prank. She&amp;rsquo;d walk  into the creepy abandoned building and find the whole team there  waiting to tell her gullible was written on the ceiling.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;s bullshit,&amp;rdquo; she whispered to herself, stomach flip-flopping with every step she took away from her car. &amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;s &lt;em&gt;bullshit&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;But  it was bullshit she had to deal with. She wasn&amp;rsquo;t equipped for an  unmasking&amp;mdash;hell, full-fledged, full-time, full-powered pro heroes weren&amp;rsquo;t  equipped for unmasking! Just look at what happened to Starfall last  summer. She&amp;rsquo;d lost her job, her kids, her wife, &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; every  villain on the West Coast was still gunning for her. At last report,  she&amp;rsquo;d gone into protective custody slash enforced retirement&amp;mdash;and she  could tear &lt;em&gt;battleships&lt;/em&gt; in half!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;Erin could  tear things in half too, with her voice. Not battleships, not yet, but  she was sure she could work up to that. Her songs were getting stronger  every time she used them, and whoever had sent the stupid email would  find that out firsthand when she sang the walls of this stupid warehouse  down on their head.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;First, though, she quietly sang  her way through a mesh fence, then scurried up a cracked concrete  incline until she reached the roll-up door, which was closed except for a  gap at the base about a foot high, where it had either jammed when the  last owners left, or been forced up by urbex kids. Or by whoever had  sent that email.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;Probably there were other entrances,  but it was a minute to midnight already, and singing herself faster or  time slower were not skills she possessed. Erin grit her teeth and  squirmed under the gap into the darkness beyond.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/32276.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=space_writes&amp;ditemid=32276&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

At first he only lay there,  for the moment felt fragile as glass, such that the slightest movement  might shatter it. Then Rizeth&amp;rsquo;s lips pressed lightly to his shoulder, a  touch so tentative it made his heart ache, and he rolled over.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Hello,&amp;rdquo; he whispered, which conjured a faint smile. Rizeth traced the line of his jaw with his knuckles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Good morning.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Ashenivir started to lean forwards, then paused. &amp;ldquo;Can&amp;hellip;can I kiss you?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Hardly  had he finished asking before Rizeth&amp;rsquo;s mouth captured his in reply. His  arms went around Rizeth&amp;rsquo;s neck as their legs tangled, the nearness of  their bodies sending a shiver through him; desire and relief and a  frightened need to cling on tight, lest all that lay beneath his hands  go up in smoke. He rolled over, pulling Rizeth atop him, but before he  could get further than that, Rizeth drew away.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;We need to talk.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Can&amp;rsquo;t  we just pretend it didn&amp;rsquo;t happen?&amp;rdquo; Ashenivir tried to pull him back  into the kiss, but he resisted. &amp;ldquo;That I wasn&amp;rsquo;t stupid and you weren&amp;rsquo;t  upset, and&amp;mdash;&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Rizeth put a thumb to his lips. &amp;ldquo;No, &lt;em&gt;xi&amp;rsquo;hum&lt;/em&gt;.

They dart around the laboratory in fretful  anguish, leaping from Vizaeth to the workbenches to the door, and if  they were the right colour, Vizaeth would resent such excessive rolling,  but they&amp;rsquo;re not, so it doesn&amp;rsquo;t matter. The arms and legs are what he  wants from this one&amp;mdash;the rest is so much offal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;On the  workbenches&amp;mdash;two great slabs repurposed from a grand zurkhwood dining  table&amp;mdash;his project lies beneath carefully crafted stasis fields, the  complex spellwork a weaving of necromancy gleaned from the Thayan tomes  lining the shelves he hauled up from the lower levels. The stalactite&amp;rsquo;s  previous owners saw fit to keep their library at the narrow tip of their  hanging estate; Vizaeth prefers to work nearer the top. As far from the  city as he can get without leaving it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Please don&amp;rsquo;t please no let me go please please let me go&amp;mdash;&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;The  male is babbling. Vizaeth tunes it out. It all gets to be the same  after a while. The same words, the same rhythm. He&amp;rsquo;d savoured it at  first, the luxury of being begged, instead of being the one begging. Now  it&amp;rsquo;s just irritating.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;You&amp;rsquo;re pathetic,&amp;rdquo; he rasps over  his shoulder as he lowers the stasis fields in preparation for today&amp;rsquo;s  work. &amp;ldquo;You&amp;rsquo;ve hardly suffered at all, yet you&amp;rsquo;re whining like a child.  You&amp;rsquo;re Menzoberranyr. Have some self-respect.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/31946.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author&apos;s Notes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt; can you tell i re-read frankenstein recently&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/10982.html&quot;&gt;Series Masterpost&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=space_writes&amp;ditemid=31946&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

Callista declares she will spare their lives&amp;mdash;in exchange for their daughter. They agree. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S&amp;eacute;raphine does not. She will not remain a prisoner of a murderous vampire, and she certainly won&amp;rsquo;t succumb to her wicked words or her foul touch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter how good it feels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;The rebellion against Lady Callista was doomed to failure  from the start. How could it ever have been otherwise? She was a  vampire, those who dwelt in the shadow of her castle were mortal, and  S&amp;eacute;raphine Favreau deeply wished her parents had considered both facts  more seriously before supplying the rebels with weapons.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;She  stood before the castle gates, glaring at a mother and father who  refused to look her in the eye. Magnanimously&amp;mdash;after slaughtering the  masterminds of the rebellion on the church steps&amp;mdash;Lady Callista had  declared she would forgive and forget the Favreau&amp;rsquo;s contribution to the  uprising, on the condition they give her whatever gift she asked for.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;They&amp;rsquo;d agreed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;I  won&amp;rsquo;t stay here,&amp;rdquo; S&amp;eacute;raphine declared, turning her ire from her cowardly  parents to the vampire whose fault all this was. &amp;ldquo;You can&amp;rsquo;t keep me.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;Callista  laughed; a sound like red wine and silk sheets. She was tall, pale as  milk, with pitch-black ringlets and a waist cinched as narrow as  S&amp;eacute;raphine&amp;rsquo;s thigh. She wore silk; grey and silver brocade decorated with  ruched ribbons, twin cascades of lace billowing from her sleeves at the  elbow, of a white so pure they glowed in the moonlight. &amp;ldquo;Such admirable  fire! I do despise a cat without claws.&amp;rdquo; She gestured a long, slender  hand at S&amp;eacute;raphine&amp;rsquo;s parents. &amp;ldquo;You are forgiven and forgotten. See you do  not give me cause to remember you.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;And just like that  they were gone, and S&amp;eacute;raphine was alone. She balled her fists at her  sides. &amp;ldquo;I mean it,&amp;rdquo; she hissed. &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;ll escape. If I have to break my legs  jumping from the rooftop to do it, I&amp;rsquo;ll escape.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;Callista  touched her cheek. Her fingers were ice cold and hard as iron. &amp;ldquo;By the  time I&amp;rsquo;m finished with you,&amp;rdquo; she said softly, &amp;ldquo;you won&amp;rsquo;t want to leave.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/31605.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author&apos;s Notes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;achievement unlocked: baby&amp;rsquo;s first mindbreak fic! i hope you enjoyed the lesbians~&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=space_writes&amp;ditemid=31605&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

Ameshe loses herself in the largest library, Mordecai in the seediest  tavern&amp;mdash;or bloodiest fighting pit, if he can sniff one out&amp;mdash;and Niamh is  left to her own devices until such time as her services are required  again. They perhaps aren&amp;rsquo;t as close as some crews are, but the  arrangement works, and more importantly, it allows her to seek out  Glasya&amp;rsquo;s temples without being interrogated about it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;Niamh  descends the stairs in silence, accompanied only by the fading thud of  the trapdoor and the dancing shadows of flickering torchlight. Of all  the temples she&amp;rsquo;s visited, this one, buried beneath an unassuming  alchemist&amp;rsquo;s shop in the Trades Ward of Waterdeep, holds a special place  in her heart. Not because it&amp;rsquo;s better than any of the others&amp;mdash;certainly  there are more elaborate enclaves of diabolical devotion out there&amp;mdash;but  because it&amp;rsquo;s where she made her pact.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/31219.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author&apos;s Notes:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;i like to think Glasya would approve of her followers having messy gay sex about her&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=space_writes&amp;ditemid=31219&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

In you are the eyes of Tyr&amp;rsquo;s justice made manifest.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;Bloody  footsteps marked Malevir&amp;rsquo;s passage down the centre of the nave. Fading  screams lingered in the air, caught in the dark of the clerestory above.  Ahead, the dusk light fell blue and purple through the stained glass,  bathing the cowering figures of his parents where they huddled before  the altar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;That&amp;rsquo;s enough, Veltariel!&amp;rdquo; his father cried.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;Malevir  continued to walk.

Words were all she had. Tyr had never seen fit  to grant her or any other of this church more than that. &amp;ldquo;Please, just  put it down.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;The dead and the dying lay broken behind  him, Tyr&amp;rsquo;s guilty faithful, punished as their own doctrine commanded.  That many were ignorant of the shape of their guilt troubled him not&amp;mdash;the  mercy of ignorance was a mercy none had ever granted him. They had  plucked his feathers for good fortune; laid hands upon him in search of  Tyr&amp;rsquo;s blessings; stripped him bare before a crowd so that his many eyes  could watch over the justice delivered unto others.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;Now justice was come among them, and it was not Tyr&amp;rsquo;s hand that would deliver it, but his.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/30840.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author&apos;s Notes:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Malevir was a backup character for a Strahd game i was in, but i a) never died on the first character and b) never finished the campaign, so alas he has languished in my brain for many years. the original inspiration for him was &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRLQ8Id24jM&amp;amp;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;this video&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; and then i made him trans as well because. well. of course i did.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=space_writes&amp;ditemid=30840&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <title>A Question of Trust - Chapter Ten</title>

A cool breeze on  distant skin. Limbs moving smoothly through motions perfected over hour  after hour of practice. Ashenivir hurled himself across the stone  platform; a spin, a leap, arms out wide. His knuckles clipped the edge  of a pillar as he passed, but the pain was far away. Off the altar and  out into the grove, between the trees and the bright, fragrant blooms,  bare feet faster and faster over stone-studded earth until he was  running more than dancing, begging the motion of his body, the surge of  his pulse, to carry his mind away further, further; to let him breathe, &lt;em&gt;please, Maiden, let me breathe!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;He  skidded to a halt by the largest, oldest oak, and pressed his forehead  to the bark. His chest heaved, his legs trembled, all of him sticky with  sweat. Aching. Sore. Tired, so endlessly tired.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;A  tenday since he&amp;rsquo;d come here, and he felt no better than he had that  first awful afternoon. If anything, his thoughts were more of a mess.  His heart certainly was.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;He leaned  back against the tree, squinting up at the speckled light through the  canopy as he rubbed his knuckles. The skin hadn&amp;rsquo;t split, only bruised.  It was the fourth or fifth such injury he&amp;rsquo;d inflicted on himself while  dancing, and he doubted it would be the last. Motion kept the hurt at  bay as long as he didn&amp;rsquo;t stop, but the moment he did, it all came  crashing back into him. A full tenday.

There&amp;rsquo;s a certain lack of warmth and weight, a  flatness to the sheets that speaks of absence. There&amp;rsquo;s the breath that  doesn&amp;rsquo;t sigh against your neck, the legs not tangled with your own, the  kiss upon your shoulder that doesn&amp;rsquo;t come.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Ashenivir  lay with his eyes closed for a long time, hoping. The bed was large  enough that he could still roll over and find Rizeth on the far side of  it. He&amp;rsquo;d be facing away, tense and awake and silent, as uncertain and  sick from a night of poor reverie as Ashenivir was. It would be hard to  reach out, but he&amp;rsquo;d do it. Touch Rizeth&amp;rsquo;s arm, start to apologise and  before the words made it out, Rizeth would turn and pull him close and  he&amp;rsquo;d cry again because he&amp;rsquo;d been so stupid, but it would all be fine  now, because it was always fine. His Master never let things stay any  other way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;When he rolled over, the  bed was empty. His heart collapsed in on itself, his throat so tight it  disconnected from his lungs. How he had any tears left was a mystery,  yet on they came.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;It was well into  the morning by the time he made himself get up. He&amp;rsquo;d slept in his  clothes, and felt grimy and wretched. The apartment was dreadfully  silent, the bedroom door still closed&amp;mdash;he paused with a hand on it, then  went to take a bath instead. Afterwards, he put on one of Rizeth&amp;rsquo;s  shirts and went to face the silence, praying he was wrong.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;He wasn&amp;rsquo;t.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/30272.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author&apos;s Notes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;i&apos;d apologise for 2 chapters of angst in a row but in my defence i did  give you the dessert of that power word pleasure first so now you gotta  eat your vegetables :p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/1647.html&quot;&gt;Series Masterpost&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; | &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/27701.html&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;A Question of Trust&lt;/em&gt; Masterpost&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; | &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/30101.html&quot;&gt;Previous Chapter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; | &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/30594.html&quot;&gt;Next Chapter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=space_writes&amp;ditemid=30272&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

The inside of A  Maiden&amp;rsquo;s Tears was thankfully cooler than outside, though not by much.  Ashenivir tugged at his shirt, grimacing at the way it clung to his  back, and made a mental note to see if an embroidered cooling charm was  feasible. This surface weather was becoming intolerable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Mara  had directed him to the small tavern when he&amp;rsquo;d asked, curious as to why  he was going&amp;mdash;frowning when she learned he was meeting Catriona. She  hadn&amp;rsquo;t tried to stop him, though. He still wasn&amp;rsquo;t sure whether or not  that was a good thing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Set in an  alley so small it lacked a name up in the top corner of the North Ward,  the Tears was as quiet as Catriona had said it would be. Old, dark wood  fashioned the interior, brightened with glass wall-lamps and seascapes  in antique gilt frames. The open taproom held a half-dozen tables, all  with a good view of the bard tuning her harp on the performance  platform, but most were empty. Ashenivir glanced around for Catriona,  not finding her until he looked to the booths along the west wall. Most  of them were curtained off, but she caught his eye from one that wasn&amp;rsquo;t  and motioned him over.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;You came,&amp;rdquo; she said as he joined her. He didn&amp;rsquo;t draw the curtain&amp;mdash;it was stifling enough as it was.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;I did.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;I wasn&amp;rsquo;t certain you would,&amp;rdquo; she said. &amp;ldquo;I thought perhaps your Master would talk you out of it.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Ashenivir shifted in his seat, picking at a whorl in the table. He hadn&amp;rsquo;t lied, but he hadn&amp;rsquo;t exactly told the truth, either. &lt;em&gt;Going for a drink with a friend from the House&lt;/em&gt;, he&amp;rsquo;d said, and Rizeth hadn&amp;rsquo;t asked for more details, because he trusted him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/30101.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author&apos;s Notes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/1647.html&quot;&gt;Series Masterpost&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; | &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/27701.html&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;A Question of Trust&lt;/em&gt; Masterpost&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; | &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/29871.html&quot;&gt;Previous Chapter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; | &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/30272.html&quot;&gt;Next Chapter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=space_writes&amp;ditemid=30101&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt; A Question of Trust - Chapter Seven&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fandom:&lt;/strong&gt; Dungeons &amp;amp; Dragons / Forgotten Realms &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rating:&lt;/strong&gt; E&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Warnings:&lt;/strong&gt; None&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Relationship:&lt;/strong&gt; Ashenivir Zauvym/Rizeth Velkon&amp;rsquo;yss&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chapter Specific Tags:&lt;/strong&gt; Overstimulation, Oral Sex, Dry Orgasms&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wordcount:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;5418&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://archiveofourown.org/works/77614431/chapters/217780931&quot;&gt;AO3&lt;/a&gt; / &lt;a href=&quot;https://muse-space.neocities.org/obedience/a-question-of-trust-7&quot;&gt;Neocities&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Snip&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Another  length of copper dropped onto the cloth. Ashenivir curved the sharp  ends in with his pliers, satisfied at the neatness of the tiny loops.  The faint noise of the city drifted up from the street below&amp;mdash;a bard of  some sort had parked themselves on a near enough corner that their light  tunes had accompanied all his morning chores.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Caring  for the apartment&amp;mdash;cleaning&amp;mdash;was not a thing usually in his nature, but  every time he did it, Rizeth was pleased. Even if he said nothing, it  was clear enough in his reaction. He liked things tidy, Ashenivir had  known that as long as he&amp;rsquo;d known Rizeth, and any tedium associated with  keeping things in order evaporated the moment that small, pleased smile  ticked the corner of his Master&amp;rsquo;s mouth. Being complimented on a job  well done made the effort of achieving it shine like gold.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&amp;lsquo;&lt;em&gt;Thus  the pleasure of the Master becomes the pleasure of the servant&amp;mdash;if such  enjoyment cannot be felt in serving, intrinsically, the servant shall  never truly &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;cherish&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt; his place.&lt;/em&gt;&amp;rsquo;&amp;nbsp;Master Corvidius, &lt;em&gt;Truest Service&lt;/em&gt;,  page forty-five,&amp;rdquo; he recited as he set to polishing the wire. Cleanest  copper meant clearest magic, and he&amp;rsquo;d never do any less for Rizeth than  he did for himself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;He&amp;rsquo;d always  enjoyed this. Back at the Arcanum, keeping Rizeth&amp;rsquo;s component store  filled had never felt like a chore. It helped his Master, made him  happy, ensured he always had everything he needed for his spellcasting.  Trimming wire, grinding gem and metal powders, collecting and arranging  all the tiny oddments needed for everyday wizardry&amp;mdash;in these dullest of  tasks he found a meditative pleasure. Intrinsically.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/29871.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author&apos;s Notes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt; look at all this lovely sex and nice relationship stuff, isn&apos;t it so hot? so cute? aren&apos;t they just so great right now? im sure the next chapter isn&apos;t going to do anything bad to them whatsoever~&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/1647.html&quot;&gt;Series Masterpost&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; | &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/27701.html&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;A Question of Trust&lt;/em&gt; Masterpost&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; | &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/29530.html&quot;&gt;Previous Chapter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; | &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/30101.html&quot;&gt;Next Chapter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=space_writes&amp;ditemid=29871&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt; A Question of Trust - Chapter Six&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fandom:&lt;/strong&gt; Dungeons &amp;amp; Dragons / Forgotten Realms &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rating:&lt;/strong&gt; E&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Warnings:&lt;/strong&gt; None&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Relationship:&lt;/strong&gt; Ashenivir Zauvym/Rizeth Velkon&amp;rsquo;yss&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chapter Specific Tags:&lt;/strong&gt; Sex Toys, Restraints&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wordcount:&lt;/strong&gt; 5240&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://archiveofourown.org/works/77614431/chapters/214416441&quot;&gt;AO3&lt;/a&gt; / &lt;a href=&quot;https://muse-space.neocities.org/obedience/a-question-of-trust-6&quot;&gt;Neocities&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Show him you love him.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                          &lt;p&gt;Kelran&amp;rsquo;s words echoed on a mocking repeat of  reprove in Rizeth&amp;rsquo;s head. When Ashenivir got back from the Haven, he&amp;rsquo;d  tried to apologise&amp;mdash;too tired, Ashenivir brushed him off with, wanting to  go right to bed. The morning after, Rizeth waited for him to broach the  subject, determined not to snap, to be rational, but Ashenivir hadn&amp;rsquo;t  tried again. Rizeth didn&amp;rsquo;t know if he&amp;rsquo;d succeeded in scaring him away  from the topic, exactly as he&amp;rsquo;d stupidly wanted, or simply succeeded in  scaring Ashenivir from talking to him about it.&lt;/p&gt;                          &lt;p&gt;Neither felt good, but it was a necessary  discomfort. Ashenivir didn&amp;rsquo;t understand what he was asking for. Books  told him nothing. Books painted pretty, appealing fantasies of rules and  rituals, not the reality of what living under them entailed, nor did  they properly convey the destruction of affection such rules could  cause. Trying desperately to have them had turned Rizeth into a monster  and his relationship to ash, and he wouldn&amp;rsquo;t allow history to repeat  itself.&lt;/p&gt;                          &lt;p&gt;So they hadn&amp;rsquo;t discussed it. Rizeth threw  himself into displays of affection Kelran would surely approve of&amp;mdash;all  Ashenivir&amp;rsquo;s favourite meals, new books, fresh flowers every time he came  back from yet another Arcanum meeting. He said please, asked  permission, and took nothing, not so much as a kiss, without it.  Ashenivir seemed to forgive him, or at least didn&amp;rsquo;t walk out on him,  which he hoped were the same thing.&lt;/p&gt;                          &lt;p&gt;An afternoon finally came entirely free, and Ashenivir lit up when Rizeth asked him to come to the House.&lt;/p&gt;                          &lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Can I have my new toy there?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;                          &lt;p&gt;His eyes were brighter than they&amp;rsquo;d been in  days. &amp;ldquo;You may,&amp;rdquo; Rizeth said, and Ashenivir kissed him, and he felt that  perhaps all might be alright with the world.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;                          &lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/29530.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author&apos;s Notes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt; uh oh oh no (:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/1647.html&quot;&gt;Series Masterpost&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; | &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/27701.html&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;A Question of Trust&lt;/em&gt; Masterpost&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; | &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/29030.html&quot;&gt;Previous Chapter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; | &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/29871.html&quot;&gt;Next Chapter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=space_writes&amp;ditemid=29530&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

Unprofessionally bright blue skirts flowed  around her freshly moisturised legs as she made her way up the neat  stone path towards what her mentor had told her was called the Khezegh.  Translated, it apparently meant something like &amp;lsquo;house of debate&amp;rsquo;&amp;mdash;a fact  which made a great many of the elves of Al-Sinneas extremely happy.  There was nothing they loved more than a good debate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;Kitarai  adjusted her low-cut bodice to better display the small, delicate curve  of her breasts, then raised a hand to knock. Before her knuckles could  make contact with the painted wood, an orc opened the door.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Ambassador  Starflower, I presume?&amp;rdquo; he asked, grinning rather tuskily down at her.  He was tall and broad and wore only dark trousers, held up beneath the  fuzzy swell of his stomach by a thick brown belt. Kitarai drew on all  her training and managed to both look him in the eye and not squeak as  she spoke.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Yes. Madam Vyel is expecting me.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;em&gt;Madam&lt;/em&gt;,&amp;rdquo; the orc repeated, chuckling. &amp;ldquo;She&amp;rsquo;ll get a kick out of that.

Ashenivir returned it. &amp;ldquo;Lord Stillgleam&amp;rsquo;s collection is very engaging.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;And  a good distraction. Rizeth was acting like nothing had happened, which  was almost worse than the first time they&amp;rsquo;d argued and he&amp;rsquo;d turned too  sweet. Ashenivir didn&amp;rsquo;t want to broach the topic himself&amp;mdash;how would he  even do such a thing? &lt;em&gt;Please, Master, tell me about the woman who broke your heart, I&amp;rsquo;m dying to know exactly how she did it. Spare no detail.&lt;/em&gt; It was stupid to be hung up on it when it was none of his business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Ms Thorne,&amp;rdquo; he said, &amp;ldquo;do you know a woman called Elian&amp;rsquo;la? A drow, from Mythen Thaelas like me?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Ms Thorne pursed her lips. &amp;ldquo;The name sounds familiar, but you know how I am with faces.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Couldn&amp;rsquo;t you look her up?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;You  know the rules,&amp;rdquo; she said, tapping a nail on her ledger. &amp;ldquo;You&amp;rsquo;re a  lovely boy, but I can&amp;rsquo;t go giving out private information just because I  like you. If she visits, I&amp;rsquo;m certain you&amp;rsquo;ll run into her sooner or  later.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;That&amp;rsquo;s what I&amp;rsquo;m worried about&lt;/em&gt;.  Ashenivir made his way to the library and laid out his notes. He&amp;rsquo;d  avoided going to the Haven since Catriona had told him about  Elian&amp;rsquo;la&amp;mdash;his desire to run into her again to learn more of her dancing  had turned to dread at the idea of having to talk to her. Did she know  Rizeth was here? Catriona must have told her. Did she know Ashenivir was  with her former partner, resent him for not saying anything?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;And what had happened between her and Rizeth?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/29030.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author&apos;s Notes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt; oh Ashenivir. my poor sweet boy. oh Rizeth. my poor sweet idiot.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/1647.html&quot;&gt;Series Masterpost&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; | &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/27701.html&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;A Question of Trust&lt;/em&gt; Masterpost&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; | &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/28804.html&quot;&gt;Previous Chapter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; | &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/29530.html&quot;&gt;Next Chapter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=space_writes&amp;ditemid=29030&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

The meeting  rooms at the Tower of the Order were dark enough to pass for the  Underdark, and the maze of petty paperwork required to even begin  arranging a face-to-face with the Blackstaff about this as-yet  hypothetical exchange program between her college and the Arcanum was as  familiar as his own reflection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;The  comfortable bureaucracy of it all served to set him on an even keel. An  unease had lingered within him since his argument with Ashenivir, but  nothing more had come of it. Ashenivir seemed entirely focused on his  studies again, and hadn&amp;rsquo;t brought up anything related to dynamic&amp;mdash;theirs  or anyone else&amp;rsquo;s&amp;mdash;at all. So Rizeth decided he&amp;rsquo;d managed, however  clumsily, to set things right, and put the whole incident from his mind.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/28804.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author&apos;s Notes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;i really put everything you could want in this one. fantasy skype.  surprise Lyzira appearance. animated bed bondage. ex-girlfriend angst.  all the hits.

Her frown of concentration included her tongue poking out the corner of her mouth, and was the kind of adorable he didn&amp;rsquo;t want to mention in case it distracted her. They&amp;rsquo;d cleared enough space in River and Cain&amp;rsquo;s small kitchen for him to teach&amp;mdash;well, try to teach&amp;mdash;her a few basic patterns. She&amp;rsquo;d begged to learn, because she&amp;rsquo;d gotten entirely too enamoured with Xalin at the welcome dinner and wanted to impress her the next time she visited the Haven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;No, I don&amp;rsquo;t think he&amp;rsquo;s doing anything bad.&amp;rdquo; River flipped another card over. He was sat on the kitchen table&amp;mdash;now shoved up against a wall with no space for its own chairs, which in turn had been exiled to a precarious stack in the living room&amp;mdash;entertaining himself with solitaire whilst they practised. &amp;ldquo;But I do think he&amp;rsquo;s up to something, and that has me worried.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/28419.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author&apos;s Notes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;uh-oh, the boys are having a mild disagreement i&apos;m sure nothing will come of this&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/1647.html&quot;&gt;Series Masterpost&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; | &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/27701.html&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;A Question of Trust&lt;/em&gt; Masterpost&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; | &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/28342.html&quot;&gt;Previous Chapter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; | &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/28804.html&quot;&gt;Next Chapter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=space_writes&amp;ditemid=28419&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

Ashenivir absently hummed the accompanying  devotional to himself, but it was the motion that cleared his mind, not  the song; the movement that lifted him beyond his body and let him  float, free of worry and racing thought. All his life he&amp;rsquo;d searched for  ways to calm his mind. He hadn&amp;rsquo;t realised how much dancing had been one  until he&amp;rsquo;d come back to it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;It wasn&amp;rsquo;t quite as good as floating under Rizeth&amp;rsquo;s hands, but one might argue he was lately very biased in that regard.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Alongside  him, Zelka span out towards the edge of the altar, and he followed her  steps as he had all her others this morning. A leap took them back to  the centre, flowing down into a roll that brought her back to her  feet&amp;mdash;and sent him stumbling and scrambling to avoid greeting the morning  by smashing his face into the stone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;An excellent first attempt,&amp;rdquo; Zelka said, offering a steadying hand.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;At  least I arrived too late to embarrass myself in front of the acolytes,&amp;rdquo;  he replied, accepting it. His decision to come had been partly to get  out of the apartment, since a full tenday of not doing so save for one  party felt indolent in the extreme, and partly to make use of the  Haven&amp;rsquo;s pools, which were both larger and cooler than the bath he&amp;rsquo;d  enchanted. Leaving the bed, however, took a lot longer than he&amp;rsquo;d  intended&amp;mdash;when Rizeth&amp;rsquo;s hands were on him, he lost all track of time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/28342.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author&apos;s Notes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;i&apos;m sure nothing that happened in this chapter is going to have any consequences whatsoever (:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/1647.html&quot;&gt;Series Masterpost&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; | &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/27701.html&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;A Question of Trust&lt;/em&gt; Masterpost&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; | &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/28086.html&quot;&gt;Previous Chapter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; | &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/28419.html&quot;&gt;Next Chapter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=space_writes&amp;ditemid=28342&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

For the past few  nights, the midsummer heat and attendant humidity had seen them both  tossing and turning through reverie, the discomfort of two bodies  crowded into a bed built for one only barely outweighed by the  distasteful notion of sleeping alone again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Rizeth kissed his neck. &amp;ldquo;I can acquire a heat shield from the Watchful Order. That ought to make things more bearable.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Even  you can&amp;rsquo;t maintain focus on a spell whilst you&amp;rsquo;re asleep, Master,&amp;rdquo;  Ashenivir said. He tilted his head to allow Rizeth better access to skin  already marked with a half-dozen bitten bruises. His remark gained him a  new one, and he let out a quiet moan. &amp;ldquo;We could&amp;hellip;we should&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Yes, &lt;em&gt;Ra&amp;rsquo;soltha&lt;/em&gt;?&amp;rdquo;  Rizeth traced light circles over his hipbones. &amp;ldquo;If you have something  to say, then say it, before I become inclined to take your voice.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;We  should get a new bed,&amp;rdquo; Ashenivir gasped out in a rush. &amp;ldquo;I mean I&amp;hellip;I  think it might be more comfortable if it was&amp;hellip;if we both&amp;hellip;fit. Better.&amp;rdquo;  His disjointed thoughts were only half because of Rizeth&amp;rsquo;s touch. It had  only been nine days since midsummer, all of which they&amp;rsquo;d spent together  in the apartment&amp;mdash;saving the brief excursions Rizeth had made to get  food&amp;mdash;and nine days was nowhere near long enough to be suggesting things  like that. Especially when he wasn&amp;rsquo;t the one who could afford to buy  them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Rizeth pulled him around into a  kiss that seemed not to mind his presumption. &amp;ldquo;Tomorrow,&amp;rdquo; he said, when  they broke for breath, &amp;ldquo;we will find a carpenter and order something.  You may choose whatever you like.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Are you sure?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Would I say it if I weren&amp;rsquo;t?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Ashenivir couldn&amp;rsquo;t hold his gaze. &amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;s just&amp;hellip;you keep giving me things and I can&amp;rsquo;t repay any of it, and I&amp;mdash;&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Rizeth tipped his chin up. &amp;ldquo;Gifts are not to be repaid. I enjoy seeing you happy, &lt;em&gt;xi&amp;rsquo;hum&lt;/em&gt;. That is all there is to it.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Although  sweat pooled everywhere their skin touched&amp;mdash;neither of them had dressed  properly in days, and today was no exception&amp;mdash;Ashenivir pressed closer,  twining his arms around Rizeth&amp;rsquo;s neck. Even awake, being beyond touching  distance was intolerable. &amp;ldquo;I think it&amp;rsquo;s a little more than that,  Master.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Oh?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;You  like watching me choose things. You like seeing me struggle, so you can  have the satisfaction of seeing me overcome.&amp;rdquo; He rose on the balls of  his feet, bringing his lips within kissing distance of Rizeth&amp;rsquo;s. &amp;ldquo;You  like making me work for my rewards.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;You know your Master very well, it seems,&amp;rdquo; Rizeth murmured.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;western&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Of course I do,&amp;rdquo; Ashenivir said, moth wings uncurling to flutter beneath his sternum as he spoke. &amp;ldquo;I love him.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/28086.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author&apos;s Notes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;here we go again! i&apos;m readying my bunker because Things Are  Going To Happen in this fic that may uh. make you want to throw things  at me ajdasdjalk (you&apos;ll enjoy it i promise. it&apos;s artisinal hand-crafted  angst)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/1647.html&quot;&gt;Series Masterpost&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; | &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/27701.html&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;A Question of Trust&lt;/em&gt; Masterpost&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;| &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Next Chapter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=space_writes&amp;ditemid=28086&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

Such a gift would make him a  witch in his own right&amp;mdash;and quite a powerful one too, he hoped, since  Amaranthe had a reputation best described as a natural disaster waiting  to happen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;He&amp;rsquo;d expected his year and a day to be hard  work. To be scrubbing floors and pulling weeds, hanging laundry and  harvesting herbs; all the things he&amp;rsquo;d grown sick of doing at home, their  mundanity given sparkling new purpose by the reward they promised.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;So  far, whilst his stint as a familiar had indeed involved those things,  it had also involved a good deal more unusual services than he&amp;rsquo;d ever  anticipated providing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://space-writes.dreamwidth.org/27006.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author&apos;s Notes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;i&amp;rsquo;m already in love with these two why are they so cute.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=space_writes&amp;ditemid=27006&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

Written for Kinktober 2025, for the prompts &amp;lsquo;humilation&amp;rsquo; and &amp;lsquo;intoxication&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;userstuff&quot;&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;The geas burns beneath his sternum.  Rancid magic, rotten little claws digging into the muscle of his  heart&amp;mdash;in the dead of night, staring at the ceiling, he can hear that  accursed name echoing inside his heartbeat: Vizaeth, Vizaeth, Vizaeth &lt;em&gt;fucking&lt;/em&gt; Thaezyr.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;He&amp;rsquo;s  tried to get rid of it. Oh, how he&amp;rsquo;s tried&amp;mdash;hours of reading, scouring  the deepest recesses of Sorcere&amp;rsquo;s libraries, creeping about like some  common criminal in the fouler parts of the city in search of someone,  something, anything that will rid him of this infection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;Pharaun  rubs at his chest, the habit already tedious. None of his efforts have  yet turned up a way to untangle the mangled skein of magic encasing his  heart like Lolth&amp;rsquo;s own webs, so he must perforce find other ways to  compensate his suffering. Particularly after the rat decided to blind  and then rape him. That little stunt he did not, ironically, see coming.  Up until then, even with the geas, he&amp;rsquo;d thought Vizaeth still squarely  under his thumb. The boy was so obsessed, so devoted&amp;mdash;charmingly, naively  devoted, the perfect slave and scapegoat&amp;mdash;that Pharaun never thought  he&amp;rsquo;d grow an actual spine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;The influence of the Dyrr  apprentice and his friends, no doubt.
