NSFN Headcanons: ToG BDSM

On their first anniversary, Lysandra brought home a little gift for Aedion: a cock ring.

This device squeezed the base of his shaft so tightly that it became nearly impossible to climax.

 Aedion obediently slipped it on. Soft, it wasn’t anything to be concerned about.

Then Lysandra began to tease him.

Nude, she straddled his hips. While Aedion began to kiss and suck at the curve of her breast, Lysandra pulled his hand down between her legs.

Her husband obediently began to tease her wet core with his fingers. Sliding first one broad knuckle through her lower lips and then burying his longest finger inside her all the way up to the knuckle.

Aedion fucked Lysandra with that finger- his thumb swirling her knot- while she loosed breathless moans in his ear.

 It always set his blood on fire. He stiffened-

Soft, the cock ring wasn’t anything to be concerned about- this wasn’t a lie. But Aedion grew as he played with Lysandra’s body, and very quickly that slight pressure around his cock became more and more noticeable.

Aedion’s movements slowed, but Lysandra grabbed his wrist and forced him to keep moving, keep going. She rode his hand and used one of her own to pinch and flick his nipples.

Aedion couldn’t help it- he kept growing harder, and the band kept getting tighter.

Lysandra didn’t let herself climax. When she was at the very edge of release she pushed Aedion’s hand away and stood.

She grabbed his cock and Aedion winced. He was too sensitive, and her touch actually hurt. Lysandra stroked his length, forcing Aedion to endure the sensation until he started to feel pleasure in this pain.

He whimpered, and Lysandra smiled.

“Get on your knees” she whispered.

Aedion would only take answers from his wife. Obediently, he slid off the couch and knelt on the floor. His cock was swollen around the ring- even the sight of it was painful. Lysandra lifted a leg and placed it over his shoulder.

Aedion knew his duty. He wrapped his hands around her hips and held her to his mouth as he began to devour her core.

Lysandra combed her fingers through his hair as she gasped and panted.

She didn’t warn Aedion before she transformed. 

Her hair shortened, her shoulders grew broader even as her chest flattened, her hips narrowed, and her muscles shifted. The knot between her legs that Aedion was running his tongue across began to change.

Aedion adjusted as the clit turned into a cock that filled his mouth and throat. With Lysandra’s leg over his shoulder he couldn’t pull away, and soon she was well and truly fucking his throat.

Lysandra’s testicles formed just as she came in Aedion’s throat. He choked on her release- but submissive little princes didn’t deserve a warning.

Aedion coughed and sputtered, but he quickly returned his mouth to her length to clean up what he’d failed to catch.

Lysandra pulled her leg back and hauled up Aedion by his wild blonde hair. She dragged him to the edge of the sofa and threw him forward over the arm.

Aedion whimpered. His cock was twitching in its binding, and now it was an angry purple. She grabbed it tightly in her hand and his legs gave out. Pain and pleasure- each agonizing in a different way.

Loosing his footing meant the armrest was all that was holding up his ass. Hard as granite and soft as silk- it was pale and inviting. It would be rude to turn down such a warm welcome.

She grabbed a phial of lubrication from the side table and poured it down the crack in his ass. When Aedion moved to brace his legs again she delivered another vicious squeeze to his member. He shouted out and collapsed again.

While he was down, Lysandra lined her cock up with his well-used hole and pushed in.

Her pace was measured, but hardly merciful. He was on the tips of his does, shouting out in both pain and ecstasy as she drove herself into him. Lysandra didn’t pause or pull out to ease in half an inch at a time. She went slowly enough to not cause damage, but he had no choice but to take her in a single thrust.

Once inside, Lysandra gave him a few breaths to adjust. Goosebumps rose on Aedion’s arms. A thin drip of cum was hanging from the tip of his bound cock.

She was relentless once she began to move. Lysandra thrust into her husband hard enough to shift the sofa, and while she kept a near painful grip on his cock, she stroked him in time with her movements.

Aedion couldn’t hear the sounds he made. He was utterly destroyed by the sensations coursing through him.

Every slam forward into his body would drive her cock against the knot inside his body, sending a sharp wave of raw pleasure through his body. His nipples would scrape against the fabric of the couch- the only attention they would get as his hands clung to the cushion for dear life. His cock was brutally sensitive- but if Lysandra eased her grip he whimpered and begged her to hurt him.

He begged quite a lot.

Begged for her to be rougher, gentler, go harder, softer, to cum inside him and fill him with her seed, to pull out and give him a chance to catch his breath- Aedion was very good at begging, and Lysandra always loved to hear his breathless, slightly nasal way of pleading.

But more than anything, he begged to cum.

Begged to be freed of the cock ring and allowed release. He tried bargaining- swearing she could destroy his ass with the largest cock she could create, promising to be her obedient bedroom toy for weeks or even months on end- all she had to do was let him cum. Just once.

Lysandra gave into a few of his desires- she squeezed him harder and thrust in hard enough to bruise. She came inside him twice- until creamy white froth dripped from his hole every time she pulled back.

But she never let him cum.

Lysandra dug her nails into Aedion’s back and scratched the skin, giving him even more pain to fuel his fire. A tiny dribble of cum escaped his cock as he threw his head back and roared, but the poor little prince couldn’t release.

With a chuckle and a sigh, Lysandra pulled out of Aedion’s ass.

It gaped as he twitched and groaned. The stretched entrance opening and closing around nothing but air- looking all to much like his mouth had when she came without warning (but this time covered in much more white release).

“Please,” Aedion whimpered, “more- no more-”

“Which is it?” Lysandra bent down to whisper in his ear.

He just whimpered in response- even Aedion wasn’t sure which he wanted. Neither. Both. He was shaking from his need to climax.

Lysandra drew a sharp fingernail across the head of his cock and he groaned.

She then sat down and drew Aedion forward, forcing her husband’s mouth onto her cock, “Clean me.”

He did- obediently and with vigor. He was her hungry little slut, and he licked away his wife’s release from the cock she’d made to fuck him. He was still bent over the armrest throughout the process.

“Good boy,” Lysandra purred. She made Aedion taste her a while longer, until he was eagerly sucking at her cock, readying it to fuck him.

“Does my little prince deserve to cum yet?” she whispered.

“No,” he released her shaft, his eyes bright. “If my mistress has to ask, I haven’t done enough yet.”

“What a good little husband you are,” Lysandra stroked her cock. She made sure Aedion was watching as she sent her magic through it and made it thicker.

A tinge of fear crept into Aedion’s eyes, but also desire.

“I’m going to fuck you until it hurts to walk. Then, if you’re an obedient little prince, I might just let you come. What do you think?”

He climbed over the armrest at last, forcing Lysandra to lie back on the sofa. Aedion straddled her hips. He reached back to grab her new member and began to force himself down on it. While he gasped and cried out, she stroked his own aching cock.

“Whatever you want,” Aedion whispered.

“Happy Anniversary,” she said as she began to fuck him once more.

tw//mentions of drug use, this is angst

Soobin threw a hand in front of his face as the flash of cameras invaded his senses. His eyes were already raw from the fatigue weighing down his body and the bright lights and shouts of his name only exasperated his desire to lay down and never get back up. Luckily, his body guards were proactive as always; pushing aside the nosy photographers and clambering reporters to get him into the safety of the hotel. 

At one point in his career, he would have been shocked and terrified that so many tabloids were interested in his life; but now he was simply bored by their shouting. As soon as he passed through the heavy glass doors of the hotel, his mind was afforded the shift to the current most pressing matter in his life. You. This morning when he had left for set, he’d left you behind- finally dozing off- in the silk sheets of the king-sized bed the two of you had been sharing since he began filming a month ago. He could only hope that you were still sustaining such a peaceful state a few hours later. 

The door to the room opened with a soft click and Soobin’s security dissipated, heading down to their own rooms until he was scheduled to leave again. The first room of the suite was still dark, and Soobin felt a chill run through his bones at the eerie silence. He had a feeling that you weren’t sleeping anymore, and that suspicion was confirmed with a sigh as he rounded on the bed to see nothing but the pushed back sheets where he had left you before. Your phone was laid there too, displaying a slew of notifications from several social media sites. 

“Y/N?” He finally called, throwing caution to the wind as he flipped on one of the bedside lamps to illuminate the fancy suite that he had become so accustomed to. With a wash of yellow-white light helping him out, Soobin could finally make out the sight of something that was smashed, littering glass all over the carpeted floor. Concern bubbled in his chest but he pushed it aside in favor of seeking you out, stepping deeper into the suite until he came across your form in the kitchenette; huddled into one of the chairs with your back to him. He couldn’t see your face, but your hair was knotted and greasy, devoid of the shine and bounce he had known through your entire lives together. A pang of sadness struck through his chest, exasperated as he watched your frame shake subtly. 

The tap dripped steadily, producing a metallic thud every second as a fat drop of water ran down the metal basin. 

“Y/N?” Soobin tried again, rounding the table to see what on earth you were doing. You looked up at him finally, but with blown pupils and red rimmed eyes. An unlit cigarette dangled from between your chapped lips, hanging uselessly, and for once Soobin wished that he could go back to the days where he had simply been working to get you away from smoking. Regretful tears slid down Soobin’s round cheeks as he looked down on you, his childhood sweetheart who just a year ago was beginning a promising modeling career, reduced to the product of the darkest sides of fame. You were looking at him, but your dulled eyes were empty. It didn’t take much deduction for him to connect the dots, helped along by the streak of white powder dusting the collar of your worn t-shirt and the granite tabletop.

“Y/N, you look like shit. And that glass in the bedroom, was that the hotel’s vase? Why on earth did you smash it?” Soobin’s voice wavered as he tried to hold himself together although he knew it didn’t matter much what he did in front of you right now. You’d forget it all by the morning anyway. More silent tears slipped down his cheeks, hot and heavy as they gathered under his chin and dripped onto his sweatshirt. 

“Soobin,” you drawled, voice strung out and airy, pushing yourself back from the table and wobbling dangerously before you caught yourself and stood back on your feet in front of him. “You are...you are...” his eyes widened as he witnessed you struggle to string a sentence together. You used to be the most well spoken person he’d ever met. In fact, hearing your graduation speech- which was totally improvised- was once his favorite memory. 

“You are full of diseases and you passed them on to me. I love you, Soobin, but you’re the whole reason I got into this, but I never knew how hard it’d be...” your voice faded again and he frowned harshly. “You never told me how hard this would be.” The weight of your body suddenly became too much to bare as you slumped forward into his arms, causing him to stumble before securing your body against his own. He had no idea what you’d mixed to get high, but he could feel the warm rush of your breath against his neck and reveled in the fact that at least you hadn’t totally passed out. 

Without protest you let him plop you into the bed and cover you up the same way he had before shooting this morning. If you’d noticed the way his shoulders shook with sobs the entire time, you didn’t say anything. Carefully, he cleaned up the glass as well as he could with shaking hands and heaving breath before seating himself at the foot of the bed and looking down on your sleeping form. 

You used to have a face straight out of a magazine, but now all Soobin could see was the total devastation of his first love and the change in his heart.

✤ prince!Seonghwa x fem!reader ✤ genre: royal!AU // bittersweet (of fluff to angst) ✤ t/w: sfw, slight mentions of death might need some tissues for the end?, rated PG  ✤ count: 1.8k+

a/n - sorry this is late, but coming out of my hermit cave to finally write an actual one-shot for @daybreakx writing challenge #3. What started out as a mini scenario turned into a mini story instead, and now I just need to lie on the floor for a week (guess that’s what happens when you dive back right into writing after years of hiatus). I hope you guys enjoy it and please feel free to give feedback 💙  

“Hello my love.”

The timbre of his voice weaved in harmony with the orchestral symphony that filled the magnificent ballroom.

“Well don’t you look dashing, my prince.”

The hand that held your own was as gentle as the adoring gaze he had on you. “The night has only just begun and already you’re enticing me with such flattery.” Before bowing slightly, full lips gracing the back of your hand peppering the surface with soft kisses.

“Were my own words back then so profound that you just had to re-use them?” you replied with a teasing counter-attack and a chaste peck on his cheek.

“In all honesty though, you’d put Aphrodite to shame.”

“And you accuse me of using flattery, have you no shame Seonghwa?”

Pulling you flush against his chest by your waist, “For you I’d risk dignity and all,” he murmured and took a moment to lean his forehead against yours. Then and there, you both allowed yourselves to get lost in each other.  

Only when the sounds of strings and woodwinds along with echoes of conversations from below floated back up to your ears did Seonghwa prompt, “Shall we?”     

This wasn’t the first time he guided you down the Grand Staircase and still, the view never cease to leave you in awe. Stoic marble columns stood tall with regal history carved into them, holding up the masterpiece of a ceiling above where the paintings were witnesses to the happenings on the white gold marble floors. Crystal chandeliers and torchères bathed the room with a delicate glow.

You noticed the balustrades were adorned with lush flower arrangements of varying colours. The last time you saw such extravagant decorations was for your royal engagement to Seonghwa.

The floral aroma was prominent and filled your senses pleasantly. Yet there was a faint underlying scent that seemed slightly out of place. 

Before you could put any further thought into it, an announcement was made to alert the guests of your presence. Already parting a way to the centre of the ballroom, Seonghwa and you turned to greet them as you both walked by.

Oddly enough there weren’t any familiar faces amongst the crowd. “Were our parents not attending the ball tonight?”

“They are probably at the tables already, discussing plans for our ceremony which will most likely be sprung upon us by tomorrow morning. You know how exuberant my mother is when it comes to weddings.”      

A soft laugh left your lips at the sweet reminder; in exactly two weeks you’d be walking down a very different kind of aisle. Your eyes glanced down at the blue sapphire that sits proudly on your ring finger. The same shade of blue that your gown of fine chiffon silk was made in and the trims that complemented Seonghwa’s royal ivory suit. 

“Will you do me the honour of having this dance with me, milady?”

Sheer willpower prevented you from rolling your eyes at his youthful playfulness, after all it’s a charming point of his. Instead deciding to indulge your prince by playing along.

With a dramatic curtsy, you accepted.

The maestro gave two loud taps of his baton and a new waltz begun.

Seonghwa and you glided across the floor, letting your feet step in duet with the melody. You’ve felt like you have heard this tune before, but once again your mind cannot seem to settle on a precise answer.

Don’t go looking, please.

“Pardon?”

“Something the matter, love?” asked Seonghwa, brows slightly furrowing at your sudden question.

“Oh, I thought you said something just then.”

Spinning out and coming back in to Seonghwa’s arms, the skirt of your gown billowing effortlessly as it followed your movement. You tilted your head slightly as you looked up to Seonghwa, awaiting for a reply.

“Are you sure you weren’t eavesdropping on our guests?”

“How dare-!”

Another spin and with a careful dip, he bent forward to kiss on the hollow of your neck. “I know, I was jesting.”     

You shivered with delight and brought a hand up to caress the side of his face. Naturally, Seonghwa turned towards your touch. Eyes closing with content and letting a subtle nuzzle into the palm of your hand. Not minding one bit that his arms’ strength was being tested for holding you securely in that dip.

“You are awfully affectionate tonight,” you said in a hushed tone.

“Can’t a prince openly cherish his beloved in front of others?”

When he brought you back up, your hand reached up further to brush his dark fringe out of his eyes. Smiling tenderly back at him, you continued on with the dance.

It wasn’t until your priority shifted to those decadent couverture truffles sitting so innocently on one of many banquet stands that you managed to convince Seonghwa to take a break.   

You could hear him chuckling behind as you hurriedly led him over, not wanting to miss out on your favourite treats.

“I’ll be right back, there’s been talk that the new batch of spring wine goes exceptionally well with sweets. Please try to save some for me!” he said giving your hand a light squeeze before walking off.

“No promises!”      

Making sure that you picked a few of the strawberry truffles, just for him, you couldn’t help but sneak a bite first. What you didn’t expect was the harsh taste of ash to hit the back of your throat. It drew out a coughing fit, causing you to drop the plate.

The scent from before wafted back with vengeance. Smoke. That was what clashed with the comforting florals and now, it stung overwhelmingly.  

You desperately tried to speak but the coughs were relentless. Did any of the guests nearby even notice your distress?

Seonghwa, you needed him.   

Come back, come back.

Trying not to fall into further panic, you blindingly reached out to grab onto anything to help get your bearings. Your arms painfully knocked against cold marble. Turning to look, you were faced with one of the exquisite torchère. It wasn’t the sculptured maiden that your eyes were drawn to, but rather the candles she held up.

The air around you started to feel suffocating and the candles’ flickering flames beckoned an uneasiness from the depths of your mind. A sudden flash came across your vision, causing you to wince and shut your eyes tight.

Your Highness, you can’t–    

Let me go through!

That voice, you know that voice. But why does he sound like that?  

–it’s too dangerous! You’d suffocate from the smoke…

A searing pain cut through your entire being.   

I will not abandon–

–still in there! I have to save–

The fire would’ve kil–

Anguish. Pure raw anguish. It hurt, to hear Seonghwa screaming your name over and over with such hopelessness. You forced your eyes to open with a gasp, acutely aware of how hot your surroundings had become. What had been small flames before, now was an inferno blazing all around. The stairs were burnt ruins and the flowers were no more.

A nightmare – this all had to be a nightmare. “Seonghwa!” your voice cracking as you called out for him, feet stumbling away from the scorching heat.

“Seonghwa, where are y– “ 

Arms encircled and turned you around with haste. “Look at me, I’m right here, look…” fingers brushing away tears that you didn’t know were falling until now.

“W-What’s happening? Why…I don’t understand”

Seonghwa’s presence have always been a safe haven, a constant calm. The moment he held your trembling frame close, it eased the chaos both inside and out that little bit more. You could still feel the firestorm against your back but he didn’t allow your eyes to waver from him. There were conflicting emotions running across him as he looked right at you; as if you would disappear if he were to even blink.

The way he spoke your name next crushed your heart. Your head was tucked into the crook of his neck and all you could hear was the same repeated phrase against your ear.

“Sorry, I’m so sorry. Please forgive me.”

You tried to move your arms to wrap around him, wanting nothing more than to comfort your dearest prince and cry out that there was nothing to forgive him about. So many questions left unanswered.

“Seonghwa, my dear Seonghwa, what is going on?”

His grip tightened around you, a deep breath drawn in and then exhaled. Holding your face with his hands, he pressed his forehead against yours just like before. “Always remember…” he said so softly, for these words were only for you to hear.

“…no matter how many lifetimes we have, even if they were short-lived, I will love you and will never stop loving you.”

Coldness came, spreading throughout from the inside. Your mind coming unhinged as fractured memories poured in all at once. Memories that weren’t meant to be remembered, for now you know that Seonghwa had lost you before. To burning smoke and ash.

“You are my eternity.”

He brought your lips together and all you felt was the touch of his sweet warmth before the darkness claimed you in the inevitable fall.

Each step you took echoed the hallways, your velvet slipper-clad feet sprinted across the granite marble floor whilst you fiddled to secure the blue sapphire on your finger. Cursing under your breath, thankfully your mother wasn’t around to tell you off, for waking up late. You had plans with your betrothed today, starting with your morning garden walk that you’ve never once missed. It was a special routine between you both, before duty called.  

As you rushed down the first flight of the Grand Staircase, you almost missed the figure standing in the middle of the landing. Dressed in your favourite colour shade, he was faced in the opposite direction. From your viewpoint you couldn’t really see what he was doing or whether he was simply awaiting for your arrival and checking his watch.

“Seonghwa, I’m so sorry for my tardiness, my prince!” your heart beating a tad faster as you approached him.

Had you paid closer attention, you might have noticed how rigid his body went for a split second upon hearing your voice or how swiftly he brought his hand up to wipe away stray tears from his eyes. In blissful ignorance, you knew not of the way he clutched the pieces of himself together. Silently begging that perhaps this time, you will remain for a while longer in this sanctuary that he’s created for you.

The mark that engraved over where his heart was, a symbol of what he willingly gave just so your soul wouldn’t have to drift through limbo alone, stayed hidden. 

Turning around to greet you with a genuine smile and adoration, he held out his hands for you to take so he could once again guide you down those same stairs.

“Hello my love.”

cookie dough fic??!!🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪

Literally a million years later here you go my friends.

-A

“What are you doing?”  

Persephone looked up from the island, where her eyes were grazing over a sociology text book as she absently highlighted key terms. “Huh? I’m studying.” Studying was a loose term, as she wasn’t quite sure her eyes were even reading over the page. Something about social hierarchies in politics wasn’t quite doing it for her. 

“No, What are you eating, Persephone?” Hades sits on the chair across the island from Persephone, eyes intent on the bowl she had beside her arm. “What is that?”

“This? It’s cookie dough. Good study snack.” For emphasis she tossed a spoonful in her mouth, humming contently as she did so. 

“You cannot eat raw cookie dough. You’re gonna get sick, Persephone.” He reached across to take the bowl from her, only to have his hand smacked away playfully. 

“Why not! I’ve done this for years, I did it in my dorm before I had a kitchen to cook them in.” She grins, leaning on her lower arms as she takes another bite, this time with a teasing grin. “Besides, it’s so much better if it’s raw.”

“You’re going to get sick- I can try to make edible cookie dough-”

“Oh honey, all cookie dough is edible if you don’t have fear.” She grabs his hand and smiles, squeezing just a little, before sliding the bowl towards him. “Just try it.”

It becomes a running joke in their lives. He tries to replicate her prized, frozen chocolate chip cookie dough from the store in the warmth of his kitchen. She teases him that some things are just better uncooked- like pasta noodles and cookie dough. 

It’s a comfort, on her worst days, in her saddest moments. 

“Seph..honey..” Hades pushes the bedroom door open slowly, peaking inside despite her lack of response. He trains his eyes to the bed, and can barely spot his wife amongst all the blankets. He sees the end of corkscrew curls on the pillow as he comes closer, settling himself on the edge of the bed. 

“Hey...I brought you cookie dough.” He goes to pull down the blanket, to see her face, only to have it sharply tugged back over her head. 

“Not hungry.” Comes from the mound of blankets obscuring her tiny body, nails visibly as she holds the black silk of the sheets over her head. 

“You gotta eat something.” He suggests, running his fingers through the exposed ends of her hair.  “I added the mini chocolate chips you like.”

“I don’t deserve it.”

“Seph, don’t say that..”

“Every time, Hades. Every single time.” She peaks dark eyes at him, which are ringed with puffed red skin. Tears were still welled in her eyes and some trailed down her face.  “It’s my fault.”

He places the bowl on the bedside table at the same moment her face buries into his thigh, and he can feel her shaking, wrecking sobs before he hears them. 

It becomes more than a treat a little later, when it just becomes a refrigerator staple. He makes it, knowing that within a week, he’ll have to make more. 

“Do you ever wish you would have been a chef?” Persephone muses, as she sits on their granite countertops, kicking her heels beside the segment where he was diligently weighing flour. 

“Professionally? I don’t know if i’d enjoy it as much if it were for more people.” Sure, he liked to show off to their families a few times a year, but nothing really brought him much more joy than their nightly dinners where he indulged her with new recipes inspired by their trips around the world.  

“No, like...are you happy? With law?” She stuck a finger into the pre-measured bowl of chocolate chips, despite the scowl her husband sent towards her. 

“It’s sufficient. It allows us the freedom to do what we want. What brought this on, Seph?” He adds the flour to the mixer before focusing his eyes on her, squinting to decipher her twisted facial expression. 

“I think I wasnt to go back to school. Maybe get a doctorate in something. Maybe teach one day. I just...there’s no point to me sitting around. Orpheus is with Hermes most of the time, and we don’t- there’s no reason for me not to do something with my time. I need to feel useful, Hades.” 

He would not argue, nor try to argue her worth to him. She had to know, by now, that he valued her above everything else in the world. 

“I..I think thats a great idea. You’d be great at it. I would have been lucky to have someone like you in college. Would have made those long lectures entertaining.” He grabs her legs and pulls her towards him, leaning in to kiss her nose as She feigns offense. 

“Sociology is not boring!” 

“Not with you teaching, it wouldn’t be. Now get your hands out of my cookie dough.” He murmurs before burying his face in her neck. When she lets out a bright laugh as he picks her up, the cookie dough is all but forgotten. 

It’s such a part of their lives, that it is only natural that she shares it with their family. 

“Persephone- what are you doing?” He’s practically throwing his jacket to the ground when he sees her, frantically trying to get across the living room to her faster. “She can’t eat that!”

“Oh relax, she’s fine. She loves it, of course.” Persephone is smiling as she pulls her finger from Junie’s mouth, the toddler already looking for more. 

“She’s one, Seph, she can’t have cookie dough.. You’re almost forty and you shouldn’t  have cookie dough.”

“She’s fine it’s the stuff you make. No bad stuff that could hurt her. Besides, look how happy she is!” Persephone kisses Junie’s head, which does make her giggle and clap her little hands. “Tell your daddy how much you like the cookies, Honey bee.” 

He cannot deny her bright, happy smile, or the identical one on their daughter’s face. He cannot help but  join her smiling as Junie laughs, and reaches her little hands towards him. 

He takes their daughter, holding her on his hip as she babbles intelligently. She looks at him with big brown eyes and a look he can only think to describe as adoration. When Junie holds her hand out to him, he caves.

“...give me some damn cookie dough for her.”

Keg King of Elfland’s Sword: Chapter 2

for @ihni​

Harrington drew Billy along behind him into a small study, barely lit from the light coming through the windows from the Ball. The glass doors unlatched to reveal a marble balcony barely the size of a large washtub, under a sky full of stars.

“It’s clear tonight.” Harrington’s voice was soft, but this far from the music, Billy could hear it perfectly. Harrington stood at the edge of the balcony looking out, surrounded by vines, roses, and constellations, still within arms-length.

Billy bit his lips as Max had advised, fairly certain it would do him no good in the starlight, but then Harrington sat on the balustrade, and tugged Billy over to stand between his knees.

“What were you—” Harrington started, laughing, but Billy kissed him, sliding one hand through smooth locks and under the flower crown, on the side Harrington wasn’t all over blood, and unbuttoning the soft waistcoat with the other. Harrington tasted of punch, and grunted softly against his mouth, and Billy pulled him closer, opening Harrington’s waistcoat and yanking his shirt from his breeches. Harrington laughed, licking into Billy’s mouth. Billy moaned, then ducked his head away from Harrington’s answering huff of laughter, letting himself be held so close it was a struggle to unlace the man’s breeches.

“Should I kneel?” He ran his tongue up the edge of Harrington’s ear, feeling him shudder. “Or I could work myself open for you. Brace against—”

Whatever Harrington tried to say was muffled, because he grabbed Billy’s head, yanking him into a kiss, and trying to talk into it. Billy laughed against his mouth, dropping his arms over Harrington’s shoulders and leaning into the slow kisses.

“Sit back against the balustrade,” Billy whispered, unlacing his own breeches. “I didn’t ride with you today. I’m a fresher mount.”

Harrington snorted, jerking his head back, and pulled them over to the doors, so he could lean against the building to slide down. “I don’t want to fuck my horse, Hargrove.”

Billy covered a snicker. “I wouldn’t—”

“I don’t want to fuck any horse, ever,” Harrington cackled, slumping against the doors. “What on earth are you used to?”

“I was attempting,” and here Billy leaned in for a kiss, trying to suppress his giddiness, “—to be coy. I’ll do all the work, Harrington. Let me touch you.”

“As long as no horses come into it,” Harrington said, muffled, against Billy’s mouth.

“The only horse’s ass here is you,” Billy groaned, but laughed as Harrington yanked him closer, and he fell forward to nearly unman the man with his knee. It was difficult to unearth the small tin of hair oil from his shirt while his mouth was tingling with passionate kisses, and his breath coming quick. It was even more difficult to recover it once it fell from his fingers. He shoved Harrington against the wall momentarily to take a long breath, and pat the granite next his leg for the tin, before taking it up, and leaning back in to kiss Harrington’s face. It was awkward shifting his breeches, kneeling with their chests pressed together, but in the end determination won out: he pressed the cleansed pig bladder over Harrington’s prick—ignoring his inquiring grunt—and pressed himself down with a soft noise of relief that, happily, was mostly drowned out by the musicians starting back up.

Harrington moaned against his mouth, like he’d been taken by surprise, and bucked up inside him.

Instead of the brisk tussle Billy had imagined, they rocked together, Harrington gentling him with kisses and caresses every time Billy started to move too quick. The blood not busy in Billy’s cock had filled his face and ears so fervently they started to pound, and his eyes were tearing, so he was grateful for the darkness. If he ground his molars hard enough, he found, he could resist saying anything—a welcome realization, as unwelcome exclamations pressed at the back of his teeth.

“Kissing is good,” Harrington mumbled, holding his face gently, as though Billy were an expensive piece of porcelain. Billy laughed against his mouth, imagining himself valuable. Harrington sacrificed his handkerchief to the cause of keeping Billy’s spend from both their clothes, and then kept him there for a long moment, their breath mixing in the chill spring air. Billy leaned in and kissed him again, swallowing back the knowledge that Harrington would soon, kindly, leave to seek Ms. Wheeler. Harrington ran his fingers through Billy’s hair.

It was irritating to admit any discomfort, warm in Harrington’s arms, tasting his tongue and lips, but after the musicians had switched from a reel, to another, nearly indistinguishable reel, to a minuet, Billy’s legs were turning to some sort of insensible firewood. He grabbed the handkerchief from his prick and used it to clean away everything but the pig’s bladder, which he knotted up with the kerchief and flung into the ivy, before collapsing against Harrington’s shoulder and straightening his legs.

“And to think, I still have to wake at dawn,” Harrington groaned, and Billy turned to stare at the barely-visible gleam of Harrington’s hair and eyes in the light from the other side of the house, and appreciate the faint shine of his skin. Without intending it, he took up Harrington’s hand, and kissed the skinned knuckles, and Harrington snorted ungracefully and grappled him close, ending with Billy curled against his chest. Billy breathed the smells of forest, and earth, and sweat, and flowers, and buried his face in Harrington’s neck for more.

“I faithfully promise to wake you,” he whispered, biting at the fingers he’d kept, and Harrington laughed, then took a deep breath, opened his mouth, and kept silent, and Billy closed his eyes. He did it again, and Billy knotted his fingers in Harrington’s shirt, waiting for the axe to fall.

At last, he spoke. “...You were watching me.”

“How could I not?” Billy laughed, his heart still thumping despite the easy question.

“Why?”

Billy felt the weight of more words than the sonnets of Shakespeare, without easy means of delivery. He managed a weak, “Everyone should look at you.”

“What does that mean?” Harrington laughed, squeezing him closer, and Billy kissed up his throat, biting along where the blood thudded in his neck.

It wasn’t a lie yet, after all. It would be soon—if he was brave enough to leave, and call on the richest man in Hawkins with his father’s plans in mind. Until then, I just saw something I wanted, Billy told himself, pressing Harrington back with another kiss. Until I leave, and come back. Billy took a deep breath, his throat raw. “D’you want my mouth on your cock?”

Harrington huffed a laugh, shaking his head in the darkness, and letting it thump gently against Billy’s. “I’m so tired.”

Billy slid both hands under Harrington’s shirt, and felt the slow, dull agony of cold iron as his thumb brushed along the chain around Harrington’s neck. He breathed through the pain, grunting into Harrington’s mouth, and deepening the kiss. Harrington’s legs twitched a little further apart, and Billy pulled his hand away from the necklace slowly, smoothing his thumbs over Harrington’s chest. It’d been years since he’d outwardly reacted to cold iron, and he forced his jaw to relax, swallowing repeatedly against the wetness rising in his eyes and nose.

Harrington pulled back, lifting both hands to cradle Billy’s face. “Come to bed with me.” He leaned in for another kiss, and Billy leaned his weight into warm hands, still shaking from the brush of iron. “—we can ask to stay the night—”

“Come back to the inn with me,” Billy whispered, his fingers clenching in Harrington’s shirt. “My bed’s big enough—”

Harrington pulled his head back, probably squinting at him in the darkness, then started snickering. “Why shouldn’t I. Why the hell not.”

Harrington fell asleep still clothed, tipped backwards over Billy’s eiderdown, nearly the moment they got to the inn. He barely stirred as Billy yanked his boots off, then murmured as Billy tucked him in. He turned his head against Billy’s hand, and Billy stopped for a second to tuck his hair behind his ear and watch him wriggle gracelessly under the blankets. He grunted as he rolled onto his face, and kicked a foot out from under the covers, and then shivered, pulling the pillow over his head.

Billy stifled his laughter, and walked around to tuck the foot back in, rubbing the arch with his thumb, and Harrington hummed in his sleep. The floor creaked as Billy crouched, leaning to see under the pillow, and felt himself oddly charmed by the mess of hair and open mouth underneath.

Rifling through the man’s things turned up only his wallet, and Billy tugged at the ties, then saw lamplight in the hallway. He grimaced, watching the lump in the bed as he opened the door—the foot poked out again, and Billy bit back a grin—then went out, latching it again behind him, and crept over to knock at Max’s door.

“What?” she hissed.

“It’s me,” he whispered back, and she groaned, laughing.

“Come in, then.”

He slid inside, and she glanced up from the letter she was penning, and snorted like the little lady she was.

“If you’re here to detail your conquest, I’ll throw you out the window, my solemn vow,” she told him.

“It’s not really a conquest.” He wandered over, dropping the wallet on the table, and started tugging at the ends of the ribbons in her hair.

“No! No, noooo—” she moaned, batting at his hands, and he poked a braid.

“You’re going to sleep in...all that?”

“It’s my pirate wear,” she whispered, smoothing her skirt, and laughing. Her cheeks went a little pink. “Whales, you know, they’re dark on the top, to blend into the water—” she stroked the ultramarine silk, of her skirts, sleeves, and pockets, and then patted the tiny creamy ruffles from her neck to her waist and down to her ankles, and kicked up her skirt to show petticoats, “—and pale underneath, to blend with the sky.”

“Next time I need to compliment a future pirate,” Billy said sincerely, “—I will be certain to tell her she resembles a whale. May I unlace you? Or should I sing a jig,” he whispered, leaning over the back of her chair to whisper near her ear, “—and dance you around until you’re too tired to be a pirate?”

She leaned her head back, grinning up at him. “I think they’d throw us out.”

“They can put it on your list of crimes, and pin it to your dress when you stand trial.”

She snorted again, rolling her eyes. “I’m not going to be that sort of pirate. I’ll find wicked navy captains, and redistribute their wealth.”

“It’s a good thing you’ll have your hair out of your way,” he told her, folding his arms against the back of her chair. “You know, that’s still a crime. Even if they’re evil.”

“Well, I’d still be a pirate,” she said, shrugging. “And a hero.”

“Mmm.” He nodded, and she leaned back to look at him, and sighed, then threw her arms up.

“Fine! Untether me! I can’t get my shoes off.”

He tugged the bows loose, and ran his fingers through to loosen the braided helmet he’d made that afternoon. She reached up and took the wilted flower over his ear. “...Dustin said Harrington’s elf lover made that flower crown. It might have been magic armor.”

Billy paused at ‘elf lover,’ then moved on to undo the buttons down the back of her dress. “Who on earth is Dustin. Did you meet a mining spirit?”

“I danced with him!" Max let her chin thud against the desk, rambling on, "He’s Lucas’ friend, Lucas taught us that gavotte—”

“As though I could keep track of your entire harem,” Billy muttered, grimacing as he fiddled with the pearl buttons.

“Lucas taught us to dance. Dustin has a water-horse friend.”

“A what,” Billy mumbled, unlacing her corset, and feeling like his experience with horse tack had left him underqualified for the task of a true London party dress.

“You know, one of the Fair Folk, but it’s a horse,” she said, twisting around excitedly. “He said when its older, it’ll be able to talk. And I talked to El, and Will, the two—”

“The two Harrington rescued,” Billy said, sitting back. “Do you want to stay halfway a pirate all night, or will you turn back around and let me—”

“It wasn’t just Harrington,” she said, rolling her eyes, and getting up to kneel on the seat of the chair. “Nan Wheeler was looking for her friend, Ms. Holland, and there were the two you dueled, and another woman—she was injured—”

“To save frightened children, they fought monsters,” he reminded her, turning to pull the curtain across the window as she began squirming to undo the rest of her finery herself. He studied a small painting of a clothed dog with a teacup, wondering whether—in Hawkins—it was a joke, or a family portrait. “Imagine if someone like Harrington had lived in our town.”

The rustling of her dress stopped for a moment. Her voice was muffled. “...you sound very close to wishing your father’s head was on a wall, stuffed.”

Billy narrowed his eyes at the dog in the dress, cocking his head. “Perhaps that wouldn’t be so bad?”

The rustles started again, and then came a scraping thud. “Oh, don’t make me laugh,” she wheezed. “That’s horrible. Imagine his glass eyes, staring.” Billy’s stomach was twisting guiltily, but he laughed, listening to her stumble around. “Billy,” her voice came again. “Why don’t we...stay here?”

He snorted a laugh. “No. No, we—we won’t be welcome, here, not—not once I finish, but I may find a position elsewhere. I’m good with horses. We could stay closer to London, if you like.”

She sighed heavily, and bid him turn around, and he stepped over to the desk and began to sort out the contents of Harrington’s wallet—two letters, stained from the leather, and a bit sticky, the consequence of having been enclosed there with a paper twist of dried figs. He ate one of them as she shuffled over in a floppy knit hat and threadbare robe.

“You might be stealthy enough,” she offered, wrinkling her nose. “He might never find out—”

“Mmm.”

“You’re fond of him,” Max whispered, dropping back in the chair, and scooting it closer. “Are you going to court him for real? We could stay. We could live here.” She cleared her throat, lowering her eyes to her letter. “I—I enjoyed the ball. The dancing is fun here.”

Billy blinked, watching her, then pulled a handkerchief and ivory comb from the wallet. The letters, unfolded, were from ‘Nan’. “...I could...try. He says there’s no...arrangement, with Wheeler.”

Max spluttered. “You proposed?”

“No!” Billy laughed. “He happened to mention, he’s so—” He cocked his head, watching the fire as he thought, and bit his lips. “—he’s not what his father said. I mean, he’s no great wit, for sure. But he…” Billy realized he was grinning, and shook his head. “...he’s—I can probably addle him temporarily.”

“But?” Max prompted.

“Fondness for me isn’t known for its...staying power. The shine will wear off. He’ll see I’m glass, and no true gem.”

“He might not.” She glared up, jaw set stoutly. “You’re much more opaque than glass—" here Billy snorted, and she raised her voice, "...and he was smiling, you know. The whole time you fought. That’s one of your more vexing traits.”

“Oh, is it?” He shook out some coins, counted them, sitting the empty wallet aside, and frowned at the letters. “A trait you share—”

“They had it coming,” she muttered darkly, then swore, and he looked over to see she’d crushed her pen in her hand. He leapt to the rescue with his handkerchief under her dripping hand, and they washed the ink off in her washbasin before it got to her battered robe.

“Too bad, really,” she sighed, brushing at her flannels. “I could have said I was attacked by a squid.”

“A squid of the night,” Billy agreed with a nod, “—oozing about the place, terrorizing fair maidens with his singularly damp visage and uninspired dress sense—”

Max crumpled the inkstained page of her letter and threw it at him. “Until I rescue them.”

“Until then, naturally.”

“Write him some poetry, you’re good at that.” She blew through her cheeks with an undignified horse-like noise. “Sing under his window.” She slid her fingers under the edge of the letter she’d been writing, and flipped the pages into the air, clomping over to the windowseat.

“Harrington’s skittish.” He ran his fingers through his hair, slapping Harrington’s letters back on the table, unread. “He’s wealthy, and his true love is an idiot, who has, to all appearances, convinced him he’s dull.”

“So you’ll have to be less of a Don Juan,” she said, grinning over, and flicked open her penknife, “—or he’ll assume you’re after nothing but his ten thousand a year.”

“I must watch myself.” He nodded, steepling his fingers. “He’s wary of compliments—”

“How tiring for you.” She raised her eyebrows, squinting down a long feather. “However will you express yourself, if you can’t bewilder him with flowery words.”

“He is easily bewildered.” Billy sighed, passing the fire in his circuit of the room. “But he likes to talk, if I draw him out.”

“And you’re listening to him.” Max stared at the ceiling, blowing a piece of fluff from the quill she was carving up, then catching it on another gust of air as it fell.

“Of course I’m listening to him.” Billy paused in his restless patrol of the floor. “Did you think I’d ignore that mouth—”

She blew the fluff back up in the air. “No, I mean, you’re listening like you listen, you—” She waved at him, and he raised his eyebrows, waiting. “...you stop, and—you’re doing it now.”

He dropped to lie alongside her on the window seat, crossing his feet with a thud on her chest. “Wake up, and speak sense.”

“I am, you’re such an ass,” she groaned, and smacked his legs.

“Hardly news.” Billy grinned at her. “We’re trying to hide it from Harrington, remember?”

“I’m rather fond of you,” she growled, shoving his feet off. “Maybe he’ll be as taken in as myself, when you sit, like now, and you remember what I’ve told you before, and don’t say ‘oh, yes, of course I’m listening, Maxine, but do be quiet and fetch me a biscuit’. ‘You’re so strident, Maxine.’ ‘Are you still talking about that, Maxine.’ ‘Listen to this improving poem, Maxine, it’s about the seven virtues.’ ‘Listening is a better skill than speaking, Maxine.’”

Billy snorted like a donkey, and she kicked his shoulder. “My best quality,” he whispered, wide-eyed, “—I can comprehend language.”

“That’s not what I—”

“You have to love me,” he told the window, peering out to avoid meeting her eyes, “there’s a written agreement. We had a solicitor out when you were three.”

She cackled, thudding one of her legs in the middle of his chest, and he gasped, then grasped it by the ankle, holding it still while he twiddled the fingers of his other hand closer to her stockinged foot. She held her other leg up, as a threat. “Don’t you dare!”

“We inked your little baby toesies, and pressed them to every page,” he said, and tickled them illustratively as she tried to jerk away. She kicked at him with her other leg, and he caught one of her feet in each hand. “It was very legal. Truly binding.”

“I would never! I’d never have put my prints to such a thing!” She hid a grin, tossing her hair between kicks. “Not—not without reading the fine print. I’d have vomited on you.”

“You were disgusting,” Billy agreed, feeling fond, and letting her pull free.

“I mean to say,” she paused, jabbing at his fingers with the feather for his attention before continuing, “—everyone else talks over him. But you listen.”

“...seems too simple.”

“It worked on me.” She shrugged, and he watched her cut her quill far too short, her jaw set. “You know, just because your father doesn’t—”

“I shudder to think of a world where not even my sister loves me,” he cut in. “It’s good your heart was so easily won.”

“Maybe Harrington’s an idiot too.” She patted his boot.

He kissed her head—despite her flailing hand—before recrossing the corridor to his room, and returned the wallet with the letters unread.

In the morning, the light poured through the windows to glow over Harrington’s shoulders, and Billy wondered how long they had, and what Harrington’s reaction would be, waking with a somewhat stubbly face between his thighs. He propped himself up on his elbow, watching the man breathe, and slid a hand down his own collarbones, over his chest, and stroked gently across his stomach: not touching his prick, but imagining the fingers were Harrington’s. When he plumped his pillow for a higher, better view, Harrington’s shoulders tensed. Harrington rolled onto his back, smiling, then blinked. “...oh.”

“Morning.” Billy echoed the smile. “...sleep well?”

Harrington’s eyes narrowed. “Why are you here?”

“I don’t need to be.” Billy smiled wider, but dropped his gaze from Harrington’s face before he saw anything else he’d have to remember later, late at night, staring at the ceiling. “Would—would you like the morning to yourself?” He took a deep breath, then gamely laid out his cards. “I nearly woke you with my mouth on your cock.”

“You—did?” Harrington sat up to blink at him, wincing, and worked his bandaged shoulder. “That sounds like a fine morning, but—”

“May I help?”

Harrington laughed. “I need to ride out soon—”

“With your shoulder.” Billy scooted up behind him, unwrapping the bandage to expose a messily split bruise. “I have...salve, or...?”

Harrington grinned over at the little pot they’d used the night before.

Billy snorted. “How useful it is.”

“Perfect for bringing strange dance partners home,” Harrington muttered, and Billy bit his lip, leaning in for a close look and sniff at the ripped skin.

He cleared his throat. “There are bandages somewhere…” His room was fairly tidy, he thought with relief, sliding out of bed to go through his luggage, and remembering to shove the letters from his father to the bottom of his bag.

Once he’d wrapped the shoulder, he inspected Harrington for more injuries, ending up sitting on Harrington’s chest when he made false claims of lacking any. He laughed as Billy bandaged a cut on his other arm, and dabbed the salve over bruises along his side. Billy found another, slighter bruise on the man’s thigh, and twisted from the waist to rub salve on it.

“You’re riding out again today?”

“This morning, except there’s a strangely attractive man sitting on me.” Harrington laughed up at Billy. Billy’s shoulders couldn’t help but tense at ‘strangely’.

“How about a bargain,” he tried, dipping his fingers in the salve again, and rubbing them over a faint bruise at Harrington’s collarbone, where his knuckle brushed the iron chain. It left no wound, as it would were he real fae, but the ache went back through his elbow, making his fingers clench and stilling his tongue. He finished, and pulled his hand back, clutching at the blanket in relief.

“Go on,” Harrington said, grinning at him, “and thank you, that was probably more than I—”

“Let me suck you.” Billy bit his lip, and let it slide from between his teeth, running his fingers down his belly again. He felt Harrington’s prick fill almost to hardness, against his thigh, but Harrington was shaking his head.

“There’s no time. Tonight—”

Billy pressed onward, the image of the monster’s head on the dais looming behind his eyes, and Harrington’s bandaged body lying on the bed before him. “Then let me come with you. I’ve a good hand with a saber, I realize it’s not a hunting—”

Harrington yanked him down by the shoulder, and Billy let himself fall forward to brace himself over Harrington. “Why’re—”

“I had a good time, last night,” Billy argued, watching his face, “and I’d hate to see you next at your funeral. ‘He should have listened to me,’ I’ll say, ‘when I offered my blade for his pleasure—’”

Harrington burst into laughter, sliding his fingers into Billy’s hair, and Billy just caught his hand before he could stroke across Billy’s maybe-pointed, maybe-human ears. “Have you a horse, Hargrove? Or will you need a ride?”

“I ride well,” Billy whispered back, feeling his grin grow wide and ridiculous. “As you are no doubt aware—” here, Harrington shoved him, “—but I neglected to tuck my horse in my luggage for the journey here.”

Harrington yanked him down for a kiss, and Billy didn’t mind their unwashed mouths, kissing until the sourness was gone, and everything was Harrington’s soft lips and smooth hot tongue.

Once Harrington claimed a need for air, like a coward, and leaned back against the pillows, the morning light warm across his skin and hair, Billy tore himself away to go and ask after breakfast, and his sister. He had hopes he could tell her he was well, and prevent her starting an inquisition, or a crusade, but her jaw clenched at the sight of his sword.

“You’re going where?” she hissed. “Why? You don’t even—” She stalked over to the door and watched Harrington buttoning his jacket, narrowing her eyes. “You barely know him...can’t you just duel for his hand? There are monsters here, you saw that thing at the party—after you left, little Will Byers? He fell like one struck, started calling for the Lady of the Salt Lake, and a host of spider crabs crawled from his mouth —hundreds, Billy—”

“...what,” Billy said, leaning to stare through the doorway, his chin resting on her head. Harrington waved, and stumbled, hopping around in one boot.

“—there was not room in him for so many crabs.” She squinted.

“He wasn’t very big,” Billy agreed slowly. “...And he was taken...where we’re going?”

“I have no idea where you’re going,” Max harrumphed, stomping back to scoop her own saber from where she’d slung it over a chair. “But I’m coming.”

“You’re not,” Billy informed her, and she growled up at him.

“I am, actually. You’re my only brother, and—”

“I’ll be fine.” He plonked his hand on her head, messing her hair, and she smacked it away. “I’m watching Harrington’s back, it’ll require both eyes.”

She grabbed his arm, her brows drawing together. “I’ll watch yours.”

Harrington had folded his hands, and was seated on the bed, pointedly staring out the window, so Billy pulled Max close against his chest, stroking her hair, and calling, “He’ll watch mine. Won’t you, Harrington?”

“We’re searching, not fighting.” Harrington sloped to his feet. “I’ll return your brother as—as though he were my own.”

Max snorted, wiping her eyes, and punched Billy’s shoulder. He squeezed her fist.

The innkeeper explained the milk had gone off—in tones more dire than Billy would have expected, until she continued, “—and the greens have all turned black and slimy in the night. The eggs were laid rotten. I don’t know how we’ll feed the animals.”

He stared at her. “Can you...borrow food?”

“All we’ve got safe is salt meat, and the baking—oh, lovey,” she stopped speaking to cluck her tongue and pat his shoulder, handing him a tray of sliced bread, dried herring, and black coffee. “It’s the whole valley, everywhere we can see her mountain. And you’ve got a guest, poppet.”

The guest waiting outside the inn had a quiver of arrows and black bow as tall as she was, and a smirk fixed on Harrington, who made a face at her. “I miss one night, and you’re swept off your feet,” she stage-whispered to him, eyeing Billy.

“Billy Hargrove,” he offered, but she narrowed her eyes at his proffered hand.

“What are you doing here?” Harrington asked, rolling his eyes.

“Your old friends sent me. I wanted to make sure you find your way out of his bed,” she told him, and grinned, leaning in to poke a mark Billy had left on Harrington’s neck. “Robin Buckley,” she told Billy. “How was he?”

Harrington waved an arm between them. “No, no, that’s not—no—I can—I can have new friends—”

Billy bit back a grin as she threw her arms around Harrington, calling questions over his shoulder.

“Is he worth his price in pounds sterling?” she asked. “Did he satisfy?”

“Stop, stop this,” Harrington said, putting a hand on her head, and pushing her out to arm’s length. “Stop this right now—”

“He’s a smooth ride,” Billy informed her, and Harrington made a squawking noise, flailing his other hand at him. “A good goer. A noble steed—”

“No, this isn’t happening,” Harrington groaned, laughing as he backed away down the street. He rolled his bruised shoulder again, and Buckley reached out just as Billy did. Harrington grabbed Billy’s hand, yanking him close, and spun to face her. “You—you have no right to fuss, you were too broken to dance last night—”

“I was too tired, after the doctor left,” she said archly. “I could hardly know you’d be carried off—”

“I won him in a perfectly fair fight!” Billy protested, sliding his arm around Harrington’s waist. “Spoils of war!”

“Did you now?” she asked, eyeing Harrington. “Against Wheeler?”

“Thomas Hall the Younger, I believe,” Billy answered, and Harrington tried to pull away again, laughing and rubbing his face. He didn’t try very hard, Billy noticed, before leaning into Billy’s side.

“Thomas, really.” She blinked. “I didn’t know he’d claimed you, Harrington.”

“Don’t sing the song,” Harrington ordered her.

“Tommy Porgie, pudding and pie,” she recited in a singsong voice, and he pointed at her.

“No. No —Robin—”

She danced away. “He kissed Steve and made him cry—”

Billy leaned to stare into Harrington’s face. “Oh, did he, now?”

“He—he did not—” Harrington sputtered. “I mean to say, he did that, yes—but I didn’t cry, I broke his front tooth—and we were both still in short pants, it wasn’t anything like that.”

Billy raised his eyebrows at Buckley, who bit her lips together, grimacing. Billy nodded slowly. “He’s never tried to—to woo you? Throw you over his shoulder and run lightly off? Recite poetry at your window? Are you certain?”

“I think I would remember Thomas Hall reciting poetry. Besides, he’s madly fond of Carol,” Harrington said, snorting. “He’s always with her...when he’s not with me, I mean, he's usually with me.”

Buckley gave a low moan, her face in her hands, and Harrington reached over and shoved her. She nearly stumbled into the river, and it splashed back a bit towards them, foaming across the cobblestones at their feet.

Harrington grabbed her flailing arm, and put an arm around her as well. “If—if he was nursing a violent passion for me—”

“He is usually violent, so it’d be hard to tell, I grant you,” Buckley interjected, grinning around him at Billy, but Harrington shook his head, laughing.

“—he’d have told me!”

“I wondered,” Billy said, leaning in to kiss Harrington’s neck. Harrington lifted his hand to smack the back of Billy’s head, and then slid his arm around Billy’s ribs again. Billy felt his cheeks getting hot, and pressed close. “He hovered around me like a hornet,” Billy told them, buzzing his hand around angrily. “He was breathing in my ear every time I so much as glanced in your direction.”

“Ugh,” Buckley shuddered, and Harrington blinked, opened his mouth, closed it, and finally asked.

“Is...that why you fought?”

“If he kept breathing in my ear, I’d fight him,” Buckley said, ferreting around in her pocket.

“He kept trying to tell me the merchandise I was eyeing was a custom order for Princess Antlers, and I wasn’t to be leaving fingermarks on it—” Billy explained, and Buckley started sniggering, while Harrington sputtered.

“I—I’m not—she and I—”

“—and I wanted very much to leave fingermarks,” Billy said in Harrington’s ear, making him burst into laughter.

“I wouldn’t have thought he’d fight you,” Buckley sighed, wiping her eyes. “What on earth?”

“He liked the punch a good deal better than I,” Billy told her, and she nodded. “He was barely standing.” He tottered around in illustration, and she snorted. “Once I’d vanquished him, his lovely Carol stepped in and brandished a candelabra—”

“I miss one ball, and an entire tournament!” Buckley shouted at the sky, then pulled away, turning to wave her hands at them. “I will have to challenge the champion! You’ve saved me time.”

“I’ll not surrender my prize so lightly,” Billy hissed back, and she made a gagging noise, trotting along the edge of the stone planter at the river’s edge.

“I don’t want Harrington. I want everyone to bow before me! Queen of the Hunt Ball! Carry my throne! Drop it on Thomas,” she shouted, then trailed off, dreamily, then looked over at Billy. “Today will be my victory, mark you,” she intoned, pointing at him. They were approaching people milling around on the village green, and Harrington walked faster, dragging them along.

“I will fight every challenger,” Billy called back, waving his fist.

“Ms. Holland is missing, we’re hunting, it’s not a joust,” Harrington told her, but his face was red and hot against Billy’s, when he leaned in for a kiss.

The posse assembled to find Ms. Holland was armed and horsed, mostly. Harrington handed over a crossbow, and Ms. Wheeler-of-the-antlers stepped close to show Billy how to use it—how to insert the short bolts, and crank it, and the length of time it took to reload. She was dressed in thickly woven living vines and flowers, and had a white bow that looked like a living tree, with live leaves at either end, and clear arrows that looked like icicles, and fogged the air around them. She wore gloves handling the cast iron bolts for the crossbow, and Billy bit his lips together as he accepted the weapon, touching only the wood.

He sidled away as she began dropping handfuls into her quiver, and jumped at Harrington’s voice in his ear.

“Terrifying, isn’t she?” He sounded proud, as always, and Billy nodded, watching her swing the quiver of icicles over her shoulder and slide her fingers between a handful of tiny glass vials—from the elder Byers son, Harrington told him, seeing Billy’s cocked head. “He’s an alchemist,” he added, leaning to bump his shoulder against Billy’s. “Those will burst into flame when broken.”

Harrington himself was wielding a terrifying club, longer than Billy’s arm, and studded with iron nails. He spun it around his hand as they talked, and Billy watched the muscles work in his arm, and swallowed.

When they set out, Billy was on one of Wheeler’s horses, his suggestion that he sit against Harrington’s chest rejected. Her horses were small—he’d expected blue-blooded trotting horses, given her grand house, or perhaps tall cavalry beasts, suited for holding steady in the face of cannonfire and monsters—but these were extremely fluffy, with feathery legs and heads almost covered by their wild manes. Their colors were patchy, mostly shades of dun and gray, and he wondered whether his skills with horses would get him very far, here, if this was the kind of beast they considered fine.

Robin Buckley hailed Carol Perkins, the duelist from the night before, and shamed her loudly for losing to this upstart, particularly with no one of importance to witness her shame. Thomas and Harrington both yelled at the words ‘no one of importance’, and Perkins laughed and groaned, holding her head, as Thomas swung up behind her, the two of them swaying in different directions on their single horse. Thomas had his eyes closed and his hand over his mouth, his clammy skin the color of the grayish green river. Wheeler swung up behind Harrington, and Billy let his horse lag back a little as they started toward the Lake.

Along the river, the fog was thick, and Billy could just make out the shape of a mountain overhead. He watched his horse flick fluffy ears, and shook his head, wondering where the hell he had found himself.

Buckley rode up by Harrington and Wheeler, casting the occasional glance back at Billy. When they ran out of road, she clicked her tongue to her horse, trotted up to a crooked picket fence barely standing under the weight of rose vines, and banged on the cottage door. It had hearts painted on the shutters, matching the hearts embroidered on the sleeves of the woman who shouldered it open, her width barely contained in the narrow stone doorway. She looked from Buckley, to Harrington, to Wheeler, and burst into tears. “She didn’t ought to be going up there, your Barb. It’s not right out there.”

Buckley blinked at her. “Doris, we—”

“You oughtn’t to be going up there. These past days—my dead love.” Doris steepled her hands to cover her face. “When I go near the lake, I hear her. We all are—Hopper's hearing his dead daughter, we can't—I—I can't—I hear her voice—”

“Oh,” Harrington said, and winced.

“We can row ourselves,” Buckley offered, squeezing Doris’ massive, callused hands.

“Ellie Ives said she saw her out there,” Wheeler put in, and bit her lips. “Barb. That's why we have to go. She—she said Barb helped her, and the Byers boy. She ran the other way, and yelled, and Ellie was able to grab little Will, and—we have to—”

“We’ll find her.” Buckley patted Doris’ huge shoulder, and Wheeler’s, rolling her eyes. “Will you loan us your boat?”

Doris nodded, sniffling, and waved them on, reappearing in a few minutes from a side door wearing hip-high boots. She tromped with them along the paving, as Billy tried to keep his horse from eating her roses, and ended up distracting it with the primroses in the granite planters on the raised stone walks to either side of the river. As they came around the corner of her house, his horse tried to get its face over into her orchard, and so the two of them, Billy and his horse, sidled last of the procession in a slow spin down the cobbled ramp. Billy glanced around at dun horse buttocks to find Harrington’s mount, and registered hooves hitting the wood of the docks, instead of stone.

He nudged his horse onward towards the others. Robbed of all proximity to tantalizing pear trees, it ambled on, and Billy realized they were riding directly on to the raft-like ferry, which he had taken for a section of dock. It creaked, tugging at its moorings as the horses stepped carefully onto the pontoon.

Billy’s sauntered to the edge, facing the spray, and his mouth fell open. He stared at the enveloping partial dome of moss-covered rock towering over the lake to his left, and the tiny island ahead and to the right. It was overwhelmed by the roots of a massive tree covered in white flowers. One gnarled branch bore a lantern, lighting up the edges of the wall of mist rising from the lake.

Material Relationships

Do you design around a material or do you choose materials for your design? Both approaches equally apply it just depends on your perspective.

If you’re a blacksmith, a seamstress, a carpenter or a glass blower, you design around your material of choice.  These professionals or craftsman have become expert on the properties of their particular material and on the treatments and techniques that can be used to get the desired outcomes for the design.

The relationship that exists between materials, design and humans is as old as mankind itself.  In-fact the evolution of humanity is inextricably linked to development of materials and material processes.

 Material History 1

Throughout our existence, human development has been intrinsically linked to materials and how they can be used. So much so, that phases of human development are named after the predominant material of the time.

Stone Age

Bronze Age

Iron Age

The stone age started 2.5 million years ago when man learnt that cracking rocks together made fire and sharp edges for tools. Like to today, materials were used to create tools for making other things, constructing buildings for shelter, producing weapons for hunting and to protect against or attack an enemy. Tools and weapons from the Stone Age were not just made of stone, other natural materials such as antler, bone, plant fibres, leather, and wood were also employed. Materials that are all still substantially used today.  Amazingly, monuments from the times, such as Stonehenge, have stood the test of time.

Stone Age Jewelry Fazael, Upper Palaeolithic The Israel Museum, Jerusalem

Stonehenge – www.english-heritage.org.uk

The Bronze Age started around 3300BC.  At the time, bronze (an ally of tin and copper) was the hardest know metal and was produced by what is arguably the first recognised industrial process – mining, smelting and casting. A key benefit was its ability to be cast into different shapes to service different purposes.

The Iron age started around 1200BC.  Scarcity of tin forced the search for alternative metals, primarily in the context of having stronger weapons.  Throughout the ages weapon development has driven advancements in materials and material processing.  Language, religion and culture also developed and had a major impact on the use of materials. Precious metals and jewels being used in religious artefacts or to reflect a person’s social status.

Interestingly technological advancement has speeded up as each age has passed.  Driven by scientific advancements and capitalism, the use of iron underpinned the industrial age as steel (the necessary material for the steam engines) drove the industrial revolution but that wasn’t until the 19th century.

In the 1300s glass came in to its own but as with steel it wasn’t until production techniques had been developed to enable the material to be mass produced did the use of glass and steel really take off. Mass production of glass comprises two methods the first of which is the float glass process, in which molten glass floats on a bed on molten metal, typically tin or lead. The second is mould blowing where molten glass is blown into a preformed mould that can be reused multiple times.

Plastic is a collective name for a wide range of materials and in its earliest form appeared at the beginning of the 20th century. As a material, plastics offered an affordable way to mass produce a range of products that touches nearly all aspects of modern life, from cups to synthetic heart valves.

With the newest materials, we are entering the realms of what was science fiction. Nanotechnology is defined as the study and use of structures between 1 nanometer and 100 nanometers in size; it would take eight hundred 100 nanometer particles side by side to match the width of a human hair. Nanomaterials like Graphene can be processed at much lower temperatures which means they are much cheaper to manufacture and offer more flexibility in processing and applications.  There will be medical benefits in drug delivery, gene therapy, and tissue engineering. Artificial photosynthesis is now possible.  Battery size and charge length is set to significantly improve, which has far reaching implications for our modern lives that are so dependent on powered devices. 

Types of Material 2

Materials can be classified into six main groups: metals, polymers, ceramics, glass, composites and other natural materials:

Metals Some well-known base metal examples are aluminium, copper, iron, nickel, zinc, silver and gold. Alloys are made up of a combination of base metals and other materials to produce materials with different characteristics.

Steel – A combination of iron and carbonStainless steel – A combination of Steel and chromium

Bronze - A combination of copper and tin.

Brass - A mixture of copper and zinc.

Polymers There are three groups of polymers (plastics):-

Thermoplastics which may be reformed with heat. e.g. PVC, HIPS, nylon, polycarbonate, PET, acrylic.

Thermosetting plastics which once moulded or formed cannot be reformed by heat. e.g. Melamine(MF) and epoxy resin

Elastomers - rubbers long chain elastic molecules. e.g. neoprene, natural rubber. Used for car tyres and elastic bands.

Ceramics Ceramics are made by heating together materials such as silica, chalk and clays.

Glass Glass is made from sand, soda ash and limestone that when melted at very high temperature forms a new material that when cooled is a solid- and transparent, it has numerous applications in our daily lives.

Composite Are mixtures of materials which give improved properties. One of the materials is the matrix or binding chemical and the other is the reinforcer. A good example is GRP - glass reinforced polyester(plastic) resin. where the glass fibres increase the strength of the polyester resin. Carbon fibre reinforced epoxy resin is stronger and lighter than steel.

Other Natural A natural material is any product or physical matter that comes from plants, animals, or the ground, such as minerals and metals.  Common Other Natural Materials are

Fabrics – Common examples of natural fabrics are cotton, wool and silk.

Wood – Soft and hard woods including Oak, pine, bamboo and cork.

 Leather – Animal skin mostly produced from cattle.

Stone – Granite, sand and precious gems are examples.

 Material Properties 3

As a non-craftsman, we often make material choices based on a rudimental understanding of a material properties.  Often finding out at the end of the process, to our costs, it was the wrong choice.  A designer needs more than a rudimentary understanding of a material’s properties. It is critical to whether the design is going to function as intended and be fit for purpose.

Materials have their own science and material science has evolved standardised test methods for defining and measuring the properties of materials. There are several more property measurements than the one listed below, however these are very specialised, like chemical and atomic properties which aren’t necessary to know when choosing standard materials:

Acoustic - absorption, Speed, reflection, transfer

Electrical - conductivity, resistivity, magnetic, capacitance

Manufacturing - castability, machinability

Mechanical - tensile, durably, wear, pressure, creep, elasticity, flexibility, hardness, malleability, plasticity, weight, stiffness,

Optical - absorbance, colour, luminosity, reflectivity, photosensitivity

Thermal – boiling point, flammability, melting point, conductivity, expansion.

 Material Selection 4

Material selection is fundamental from an engineering design perspective and becomes more a personal preference in art.  There are seven main factors that will affect a material's performance and its suitability:

Function For certain applications, “What will your design be used for?” will dictate the kind of material to use, otherwise the following needs consideration:

Properties

Performance-driven design vs. cost-driven design

Life span

Aesthetic needs

Expectations from client or end user

 Application Some applications, if products fail to meet certain standards, there are serious consequences for both the company and the end user. Consider:

Standards or legal requirements

Ease of use

Special needs

Possible effects of material on end user

Failure & consequences

Additional manufacturing services needed to ensure legitimacy of product

 Environment For a successful long-lasting product, the material needs to be tough enough for its environment, especially outdoor or multiple use.

Types of corrosion in environment

Level of corrosion

Possible chemical interactions that affect properties/structure

Coatings or protective finishes required

 Interacting components or systems Is the design a fully functional end product or is it a component, things to consider are:

Surrounding materials

Possible interaction with differing materials

How to ensure your component doesn't fail first

 Maintenance Certain products will sometimes need to be maintained or designed to be replaced. Consideration needs to be given to ow the material choice can affect maintenance and repair options:

Ease, frequency, and cost of maintenance/repair

Access to maintenance resources

If its a component hold up if it's made of X material?

 Supply chain & manufacturing Cost and speed to produce can be improved by choosing common materials, or where and how the material is sourced:

Where it will be ordered from and/or manufactured.

Are you starting with raw materials that will need to pre-treatment, which may involve extra time, effort, and resources.

Specialty materials may require specialty manufacturing or suppliers

 Fabrications Certain materials are better for certain fabrications, you'll need and match the best material for those operations.

Ductility

Thickness

Malleability

Strength

Edging & placement

Scrap from cutting fabrications or defects

 Humanity’s changing relationship with materials

Scientists and engineers are producing new types of materials (eg Graphene), evolving new ways to advance the properties of materials and new fabrication techniques, like 3D printing. In many instances, material choice is driven by social attitudes, fashion, health concerns and more recently environmental impact. Over time, some materials have gone out of favour and others banned. One such material that is out of favour is plastic; this was and arguably still is one of most used materials worldwide.

Grenfell Tower  - Splash News (https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3806536/cladding-grenfell-tower-flammable-cheap/)

What was once seen as a panacea material, it is now seen to be one of the most prolific pollutants and has caused significant environmental issues. Plastics damage to the environment especially the seas, oceans and the wildlife that lies within them. Plastic itself is not the problem, it’s been society’s disposal mindset, use it once and throw it away, even though it is reusable.  Society is now changing its attitudes and with it the movement toward sustainability and renewables.  Almost overnight plastic products have been replaced with paper and metal-based alternatives, these include straws and cups. This is a clear example of how society and consumers attitudes can and do affect the choice and use of materials.

Ivory is another material that has been banned due to changes in society’s attitude. Other materials like asbestos, which was found to be a serious health hazard is now banned. The choice of cladding material in the Grenfell Tower disaster is a deadly example of questionable material choice.

 Mixed Material Designs

I’m interested in materials and finding ways to use and combine them in new and innovative ways. I like to go beyond creative design concepts and solve the problem of what materials and fabrication processes are required in order to produce a functioning piece.  I like to know what a material’s properties are and learn the fundamental fabrication skills for that material and to experiment with how materials can be combined in a design.  On occasions I will start a design with specific material combinations or fabrication processes in mind.

I myself favour wood and steel, I’m fascinated by their property contrasts and how this can be so impactful in designing things that have a function and a value beyond just being an object. More recently I’ve experimented with bio-resins and want to include this moder material in to my final project.

All is fair in Love & War - 7

Pairing: Loki x reader Content: Less angst, some lewd undertones....actually it might be more than undertones. What I’m trying to say is that the “do will be done” at some point in this chapter and you might get to read some of that. K? Also...I’ve not done any corrective readings on this, sorry (I know, bad me).

7. Getting into shape

Daily walks with Loki helps rebuild some of your constitution, and each time the god notices improvement, he finds some task or exercise for you to undertake. Although some chores are less tempting, you don’t mind because it gives you something to do, not to mention a chance to understand the way of life in Utgard.

The new task of the day is even one you have been hoping to be given. Standing in the stables with a pitchfork and a wheelbarrow, the joy of working with or near animals is bubbling within you, making you giddy as you look up at the giant black horse. Already, you have zoned out Loki and the conversation he is having with the stable boys in the guttural, rumbling language of the Jötuns – none of what they say makes any sense.

You had managed to sneak an apple from your breakfast tray, hiding it in the pocket of the dress you have been given to wear for menial tasks. It’s a bit big for you, clearly made for a Jötun who generally are of bigger stature. Maybe it is made for a child? Either way, the rough material is comforting to you because it is what you have been used to, and it is much warmer than the flimsy silk gowns which are not made for the winter that is settling over the kingdom.

A soft muzzle nudges your shoulder, making you realize that you have lost yourself in thoughts. Mumbling an apology, you give the horse the fruit and enjoy the loud munching, adding to the companionship by stroking the smooth neck of the beast. Even the strands of its mane are silky to the touch, threatening to sidetrack your thoughts again. The silent exasperation rolls through your lungs, then you begin the work.

Once upon a time when life was normal, you had become the one to tend to the larger animals of the little village although they were not shared property. But the three cows, one donkey, two mules, and a score sheep and goats mixed were easier tended to in a single herd, allowing more villagers to work at the quarry or tend to other tasks benefitting everyone in the tight-knit community. All hands were needed. From a young age, you spend full days in the pastures before the new enclosure stood finished, and after that your time was divided between the animals and seasonally dependant chores. You grew confident in the much larger beasts presence, learned to understand their behaviour as easily as if they spoke to you.

“Come on now,” you mumble to your new companion while nodding at the wet hay below the enormous hooves, “you don’t wanna step in that, do you?”

A huff and shameful shake of the mane provides the answer, and a nod to another corner of the stall is enough to get the stallion moving. He’s so gentle. Patting the creature as a way of showing your appreciation, you resume the work of cleaning out the dirty bedding.

Side-eyeing the black horse, you keep talking gently to him. “What do I even call you, huh? Can’t just call you any silly ol’ name…”

“His name is Magni.”

Maybe you manage to hide how the voice startles you. You hope so. There is no reason to look for who is answering you because even if you had not recognized Loki’s soft tone, there is still only one other who speaks your language. How long has he been standing so close, watching?

“Magni.” You stroke the horse’s flank before dumping the last pitchforkful into the wheelbarrow.

“One of the boys will take it from here.” Loki announces.

The secretive curl in his voice is slightly unsettling, creating a cool seed of worry in your guts that grows and begins to bloom as you follow the king of Jotunheim through the courtyard and out the heavy gates.

It is the first time you set foot outside the castle grounds during the day, and even the view from your chambers have not prepared you for the endlessness of the landscape on this side of the old fortress. Standing on top of a giant hill, the landscapes fall away in rolling waves of faded green dotted with shrubs and ragged cliffs on which lichen grow. Here and there is a birch tree, naked against the cold winds that flattens grass and whirls leaves towards the grey clouds that are hanging heavily above. Further off are the rivers and dark woods of evergreens. Whoah.

“Yes, it may appear a harsh or even unforgiving land to most, but I find Jotunheim holds a beauty best appreciated in the changing of the seasons.”

The comment could have been meant as bragging. It’s not. There might be a lot to learn about him because, truth be told, nothing you had been told had turned out to be right. Months around him had not proven quite as fruitful in terms of getting to know him as you had hoped, and yet…Oh! No! Not going there again! A warm knot is already forming in the pit of your belly, matched only by another heat in your cheeks. You don’t want to look over at him, nervous he might be watching you for any reactions. He may be an enigma to you, however, a suspicion that the god is able to read your mind is increasingly prevalent. He is in your mind, under your skin, appearing in dreams that have no business appearing let alone starting an aching need between you legs. So now you stand beside him, looking over the rolling hills of this wild, rugged kingdom and knowing that you cannot escape even if you tried because this world is an unforgiving one.

Outside the shielding walls of the keep, nothing keeps the wind away. Tearing at you clothes and hair, it sends a chill into your bones and a shiver is setting in.

“Here.” Loki wraps a cloak around your shoulders and fastens the clasp under your chin. “It is time you learn about the area.”

It is wonderful to be out and about despite the slight worry that creeps in as the two of you move away from the solid structure that has been your prison for soon two seasons. Thoughts are racing through your head, analyzing everything about the situation and any potential reasons might have for taking you out here. Kill me? No, he would not have a problem doing that at the keep, he has proven that before. Imprison me elsewhere? That would be impractical, considering how much time the tall man spends in your company. Have his way with me? The idea does not scare you as much as you do (that does frighten you, though), but either way it is still just as unlikely as murdering you. Each idea becomes more and more farfetched, granting you no peace. This is how it has been since Loki came back and practically saved you. Was that planned? Nothing in your world is right anymore, fueling a desperate determination to find out what is going on then. Maybe, as things begin to make sense, the strained tension will dissipate.

Rounding the top of the hill brings the forest visible from you windows into view. An arm is stretching for the keep and it is towards that that Loki now strides, his long legs carrying him so fast that you sometimes have to run a little bit to keep up – not that you are sure you really want to, but being left alone in a distinctively different land than your own is not anything you want either.

By the time you reach the trees, the first snowflakes of the winter are floating down from the leaden clouds to settle in your hair, on the cape. On the mosses that carpet the forest floor in shades not unlike Loki’s eyes when they flicker darkly each time they travel over your form. No, wait, I wasn’t going to think like that! Leafless birch and rowan are replaced by the spruce and fir that shield better from the cold but strengthens the shadows until the two of you are walking in perpetual dusk. It is all too easy to imagine the dangerous creatures roaming the woods, and it urges you to stay closer to the god leading the way. Thankfully, he has slowed down.

It feels like hours before he finally stops, making you bump into him because you no longer have been paying attention. For a second, you freeze with fear of what Loki will do as he reaches out to you, but he only wraps an arm around your waist to pull you into his lap as he sits. There is no part of your body that does not ache. Knees are weak. Finally. Looking around, you see the seat is simply a large, flat stone placed almost perfectly in a circle of taller granites shaped by rough carvings. Old figures are staring down with empty eyes below horns that turn into ridges creating swirling patterns adorning their naked bodies. Naked bodies with surprisingly detailed…parts. Though you are no virgin, it still makes you blush.

“Makes one think, does it not?” Loki asks playfully, his hand drifting to your thigh, and you watch it with apprehension. “These are ancient carvings made by the ancestors of the Jötun. My people.”

Before your very eyes, the hand of the god changes. Transforms. The fingers grow a bit longer…or maybe it is the entire hand that grows? It does not matter, though, because there are other alterations: skin grows blue like cobalt and dark lines appear before rising into ridges. For a moment, your eyes flash to the crude statues then back to find that the nails now are black and claw-like.

“Look at me, [Y/N].” Loki begs softly.

A deep breath steels you, making it possible to turn to face the Jötun. There are no horns adorning his brows though the ridges are a bit more prominent. His eyes. Black pupils in an endless see of dark red. Orbs of blood. I’ve seen this before. Vague memories attempt to claw back to the surface, but they do not bring the same terror that you once associated with Loki’s strange nature. Instead, you find him strikingly handsome. Every trait that have haunted your dreams as forbidden desires are enhanced, mixing with a raw tenderness as he exposes what must be his true form to you.

A small frown fails to wrinkle the ridges on his forehead. “You do not fear me?”

“I’m sure you can be…ermm…scary like a monster if angered, but…” You hesitate in order to make sure. “No…I don’t fear you because of…this…” With a vague wave of a hand, you gesture his appearance.

Watching his lips curl in a smile adds to the confusion in your body. He looks truly happy, reminding you of how rarely you have seen joy in his eyes. Your hand cups his face before you know it, the thumb stroking a chiseled cheekbone. This is his real form. It should be frightening, as he suspected. The reaction is far from that, instead showing itself as a warm knot in the pit of your belly and an insistent tugging at your heartstrings.

I should know better. The words are meaningless. Stretching, you brush your lips against his. Heat meeting cold and your breaths mingling as the kiss deepens. Loki inhales sharply when you run your fingers through the dark strands to pull him closer, and you grab the opportunity to slip your tongue in.

He has you straddling him soon enough. Blue and, to you, normal coloured hands are tugging at clothes, searching for skin to mark and explore in any way possible. More. The aching need between you legs is back, followed by a dampness that begs for contact and has you fumbling with belts and buckles to free his manhood until he stops you by reaching his goal first. Shivers race through your limbs as long, cold digits delve between the folds, spreading the slick and making you moan breathlessly by the time he reaches the sensitive nub. More. Suddenly, you can only hold on, hands fisting his black hair and teeth digging into his shoulder to maintain a semblance of decency.

You are gasping shamelessly when he finally retracts is fingers from inside you to undo his belt. More.An insatiable craving is eating away at you as you watch him free his cock (also blue and with smaller ridges tracing spiral patterns along the shaft), and you have your hands wrapped around it as soon as you can. Exploring. Pumping gently until his head falls back and he groans softly. More. Nimble and determined, you reposition yourself to slide him in. Slowly. The cold of his erection soothing the stretch.
