III. queen of peace

Pairing: Susie Glass x Edward Horniman

TV show: The Gentlemen (2024)

word count: 1472

warnings: angst, alcohol consumption, not-super-graphic smut, love/hate? relationship

„The queen of peace

Always does her best to please

Is it any use?

Somebody’s gotta lose"

Susie and Eddie become partners, tell each other some dark truths and well… Susie listens to him against her better judgement.

Susie and Eddie stumbled into his office, laughing about something that Freddie shouted after them when they left the party happening in the living room.

Eddie closed the doors behind them and moved to the front of his desk where he hid a certain document. He handed Susie a blue fountain pen and asked her to sign. Naturally, not with her real signature because that could prove their professional relationship to the authorities. She signed with a doodle of a gun. He then drew a middle finger next to it. Their deal was done. They were in business, together.

„So, now we are equals?”, Eddie asked after he put the document inside of a safe hidden behind one of many paintings purchased by his father. Susie smiled enigmatically.

„Ta, I suppose we are. I will miss giving you orders."

"I am sure you will continue giving them anyway.” Eddie moved to a mini bar and poured them drinks. She smiled at him, thinking that he was probably right. Susie also knew that he will be more than happy to take them.

“Any plans what you want to do first?” She asked when he gave her a full glass.

“No”, She lifted her eyebrows. “I mean I do, but not today. Anyone ever told you, you are a workaholic?”

That is why she appreciated his companionship. He wasn’t afraid to challenge her and say it as it was.

“No.” Her expression changed to a more serious one. "Everyone else is too scared to tell me the truth."

“I am not afraid of you.” He searched for her eyes and his voice softened as if there was another dimension to his words. „I know what you are capable of when I pushed you. I have learnt my lesson.”

Susie sat in an armchair behind his desk and looked very pleased with herself taking his place.

„When I told Gospel the truth about his brother what led to his visit on your estate, I did it because you lied to me. I was angry at you, Eddie. It was personal. Don’t betray me again.”

Eddie nodded and moved closer to her. He leaned on his desk when looking down on her and not knowing how to respond to her confession. Admittedly, he was surprised by it. She sounded hurt rather than angry but he didn’t pointed that out aloud.

„I told Johnston, back when I still considered his support that I do not want any of your family members hurt. Of course, you too, Susie.” He paused to catch her eye and ensure she understands. „I don’t want to fight.” She looked up and met his eyes with openness he wasn’t prepared for.

„Is there anything you want then?”

„You know I want a lot of things.” He answered vaguely but not without understanding the hints she was dropping. „And it is all your fault.”

„Oh, really? I don’t think it is, Edward. I think you have always wanted it all. Military, this whole protector of your family act were meant to conceal your ambition. You don’t have to hide from me. We have already showed each other our darkest colours.”

Eddie was blindsided by her words that caused all of his pretences to tumble and crush into pieces. She stripped him of his defences with few punctuated words. Susie knew it and couldn’t contain her smirk of satisfaction.

“Always so smug, aren’t you?” Eddie countered gracelessly. She rolled her eyes and raised from her seat. Her words were the first loud declaration of his deepest and most sinister thoughts. “You don’t what to hear what I have to say?”

“No, not particularly.”

Eddie knew better so raised to his height and looked down on her. Her perfume lingered around him and the truth was he was under her spell not other way around. Nevertheless, he will try to even out the odds.

“You have it all, right? You are immaculate in protecting your empire but not for yourself, not really. For your brother, your father. You have a fucked up notion of obligation from which you can’t free yourself. You should want something just for you, Susie. Something substantial because I know you are not easily satisfied. Is there anything you would want? Anything I can give you, perhaps?”

Susie’s expression changed but she still was almost rigid. She had her head slightly tilted so she could gaze on his face. Finally, she slowly leaned in. Her hand landed on his lapel.

“You have no idea what you are asking for.”

He inched closer to her face and slowly, testing the waters, placed his hand on her cheek. Susie shivered at his touch, probably because of a coldness of his signet. Her eyelashes fluttered when she felt his breath on her lips. Eddie wanted to ruin her perfectly painted red lipstick which tempted him so many times before. He knew it will happen but the wait was crushing.

“Come on, Susie, tell me. What is that you want?” He caressed her cheek trying to encourage her to relax. “Should I give you an idea?”

He noticed the way her throat bobbed trying to mute any unwanted sounds. It was satisfying, going exactly in the direction he imagined.

“You should just kiss me, Edward, and stop teasing. For your own good.” Susie regained her old self and an ounce of self-composure.

Her words were like a sound of a gun being fired. Eddie crushed his lips to her. She immediately responded with need he didn’t anticipate. Still, her taste, her small noises were like magic. Until this moment, he didn’t realise how much he missed closeness and simplicity of a touch. This need was pathetic. He called out Susie on her weaknesses but he wasn’t better when he turned them around and pinned her to his desk and manoeuvred her to sit on it.

„You do justice to your family name, Eddie” Susie mumbled between their kisses. If he could, he would roll his eyes but just laughed, too busy kissing down her throat. Her fingers slipped into his hair, tugging it and he could not contain his moan. „So you like it like that? Not so tough anymore."

„You are talking too much, Susan.” Eddie raised his gaze to her stormy eyes. She slowly smiled but could not conceal desire looming there.

Her fingers slowly circled his tie and pulled it forcing him to kiss her again, but slower, according to her own want. She took it off and untucked first buttons of his shirt. Eddie's hands roamed over her back, then down her things and back up under he vest. Suddenly, she almost sobbed into his mouth. He discovered she wasn’t wearing anything under it so his cold fingers came into contact with her bare skin.

Her jacket dropped to the floor next. Before she could react, Eddie was moving her to stand in front of him and brace her palms on the desk. He wanted to evaporate her thoughts, end her worries and let her finally relax. He pressed himself to her back and she moaned feeling him tall and unyielding.

It was right how she fitted between his arms, almost a head lower and staring up into his eyes. Her own were glazed with pure want that if necessary would send Eddie to another war. He touched her jaw to draw her to him and kiss her thoroughly while his other hand embraced hers. Their fingers intertwined and she gasped when his hand slid down her throat to slowly embrace her breast and pleasure her with his touch. He observed her opened mouth and small cries she let out.

„Eddie, it is too much.”

„So do you know now what you want?” He was teasing but he needed her to voice her desires. Perhaps, it was not strictly necessary knowing his own desperate craving but he wanted her to have it burned in her memory. That it was her own decision to fuck him and let him close enough to see her vulnerability. He did not want regrets and another cause for war.

„Eddie...” She didn’t want to admit it aloud. Still, she tried to express it when he forced her to look at him and saw her eyelids half closed and felt her slow grinding against him.

„Say it, Susie, God, please say it.” He was slowly losing a fight he began when she on the other hand was regaining control. It was her turn to foreshadow all the things she could do to him. Against his better judgement, he clutched her thigh and finally pushed into her ass. Not expecting that, she abruptly tilted her head back onto his arm and thrusted back with more fierceness.

„Yes, Eddie, yes, do your worst."

dark rise: metaphorical sex via unicorn horn stabbing

dark heir: metaphorical sex via unlocking magical potential

book 3: actual sex???

#i mean obviously it's a ya book but like. you gotta resolve all the tension and drama somehow #i see that tamsyn muir and cs pacat went to the school of 'this magic scene is actually a sex scene' and i approve #pie says stuff #pie reads #dark heir #dark rise #books

[ladysansa]

how I prob look rn bc I’m convinced Ted Lasso is setting everything up for a polyamorous throuple with Jamie, Keeley, and Roy.

#I mean c’mon…..we’ve got four episodes left and the way I see it the only way to resolve the tension between all three of them and to make #sure everyone’s happy is a throuple #ted lasso #roy x keeley x jamie #post*

I know at the end of the day we’re all gay people watching the homoerotic psychosexual repression movie and I GET why people are complaining that Felix and Oliver never kiss and that there’s apparently deleted scene footage of them kissing, but like. There is a REASON that moment was deleted there’s a reason that’s not in the film because it is like CENTRAL to the thesis of saltburn that they can NEVER consummate whatever the fuck is happening between them. Felix is like the one person Oliver CAN’T consume and it drives him CRAZY like. There’s a reason That Moment is their last moment before. You know.

#I sincerely believe if they had kissed the movie would be lesser for it #now that said I did yell out loud ‘I NEED THEM TO FUCK NASTY’ no less than four times while watching #like I GET it I do. I do. #but I think it is the stronger choice that they Can’t resolve their tension ever #in my life #saltburn spoilers

[mumblesplash]

im more of a fan of the enemies to begrudging rivals/allies, personally!! theres just so much room for goofs and giggles

yeah same here, i think part of me is always secretly hoping the plot stops short of the characters actually getting together and lets them stay at that point where they'll just barely tolerate each other but are already too intertwined to just go their separate ways.

the reason i keep getting drawn in by the first 2/3rds of enemies-to-lovers stories is i also do think it's fun when they're attracted to each other, but only to the extent that it makes everything worse

#splashasks #anonymous #like sexual/romantic TENSION is fine i just don't often care for stories where it gets resolved

I was just watching some season 3 clips and it’s crazy how Mike and Will never made up on screen after the rain fight…considering even Lucas apologized on screen- Maybe I’m just still not over it but am I in the wrong for wanting a flashback or at least callback to the whole conflict in season 5?

#there was so much tension throughout the entire season after that #and it was never resolved #they just distracted us #and i don’t like it #byler #stranger things #mike and will #byler endgame #byler tumblr

Unpopular(?) Opinion: Percy/Annabeth is much a better “Enemies to Lovers” than Ron/Hermione

#and I’m saying that as a former potterhead #maybe bc Percy and Annabeth don’t immediately dislike each other when they first meet #and any tensions between them are resolved much more quickly #and the fact Percy and Annabeth don’t bicker nearly as much as Ron/Hermione do #Ron/Hermione were part of the toxic trend of equating constant bickering with romance #and I partly blame this trend/trope for a lot of toxic relationships today #Percy Jackson #percabeth #annabeth chase #ron weasley #hermione granger #jk rowling #rick riordan #middle grade fiction #Percy Jackson and the Olympians #harry potter

What gets me every time is Stede's sincerity. His honesty. The slightly cheesy and childish but sincere love confession only Stede could pull off. "You wear fine things well" and "What makes Ed happy?" and "I love everything about you" and "You make Stede happy". So sincere with his feelings, respecting Ed's boundaries, no ulterior motives. He just..loves everything about Ed. Ed wears fine things well. He wants to know what makes Ed happy. Ed makes Stede happy.

#ofmd #ofmd s2 spoilers #what if i explode? #anyway i'm so glad they didn't do a big dramatic epic showdown swordfight to resolve the tension #yeah that would have slapped ass but it would have been kind of antithetical to this show's message about emotional honesty and softness

[sylvies-kablooie]

i would have preferred to SEE the sylki romance at the heart of s2 rather than being told about it in retrospect but like. a win is a win i guess.

#don’t get me wrong i LOVE subtext #but it’s not gonna cut it for me when the plot point requires you to resolve the built up tension and you don’t #or when you sideline their duality in favor of “loki is god now” no more of that “we’re the same” s1 centrality nonsense! #well. what can you do! you take what you get #Loki series #sylki #pro sylki

[inthecompanyofabengaltiger]

man am i over people who've never actually read asoiaf shitting on it lmao

#i had two different posts willfully misinterpreting grrm cross my dash the last couple days #the aragorn tax policy quote isn't shitting on lotr or intended to be taken as a literal 'you must write about kings' tax policies' mandate #it's about how grrm is interested in different themes to tolkein #like the quote goes on to ask if aragorn commits genocide against the orcs after rotk or like what happens there how isthat tension resolve #in lotr it doesn't matter what happens to the orcs after aragorn is crowned because the story is about frodo's journey and not aragorn #and grrm KNOWS that & is literally making the point HIMSELF that asoiaf is more about the politics than lotr is #we see those tensions explored in plots like the wall with jon having to satisfy stannis the watch and the wildlings all at once #it's not an insult - it's just a fucking comparison & explanation. marketing speech more than anything close to anti-lotr hatred. like cmon #and then the second post was talking about how edmure tully is called weak for letting his smallfolk into his castle #and how that proves that george is an idiot who hates kindness and doesn't understand the medieval era #as if the other characters calling edmure weak for that wasn't kind of the entire point of the riverlands destruction arc #and it's not a purposeful contrast between edmure and other lords (specifically robb in his kingly campaign) #anyway it'd be nice if people read and used their brains to think some thoughts about what they read before talking shit. #asoiaf
