#OTD – Feast Day of Saint Darerca of Ireland, sister of Saint Patrick.
St Darerca is patroness of Valentia Island, the westernmost point of Co Kerry.

Sacred Sisters
Gender, Sanctity, and Power in Medieval Ireland
Sacred Sisters focuses on five saints: the four female Irish saints who have extant medieval biographies (Darerca, Brigid, Íte, and Samthann), and Patrick, whose writings -- fifth-century Ireland’s sole surviving texts -- attest to the centrality of women in Irish Christianity’s development. Women served as leaders and teachers, perhaps even as bishops and priests, and men and women worked together in a variety of arrangements as well as independently. Previous studies of gender in medieval Ireland have emphasized sexism and sex-segregated celibacy, dismissing abundant evidence of alternative approaches throughout the sources, including in the Lives of Ireland’s female saints. Sacred Sisters places these generally marginalized texts at its center, exploring their portraits of empowered, authoritative, compassionate women who exemplified an accepting and affirming ethics of gender and sexuality that would be unusual in many mainstream Christian movements in the present day, let alone in the Middle Ages https://www.aup.nl/en/book/9789463721509/sacred-sisters

Saint of the day July 06
Bl. Thomas Alfield, 1585 A.D. English martyr. A native of Gloucester, he was educated at Eton and Cambridge. While raised as an Anglican, he eventually was converted to Catholicism and left England to study for the priesthood at Douai and Reims, France, receiving ordination in 1581. Returning to England, he was soon arrested while handing out copies of the polemic True and Modest Defence by Dr. Allen. Condemned, he was hanged at Tybum. Thomas was beatified in 1929.
St. Modwenna. The St. Modwenna, or Monenna, formally venerated at Burton-on-Trent and elsewhere, may have lived in the middle of the seventh century and been a recluse on an islet called Andresey in the Trent. But not only are other and conflicting things alleged of her, but her legend has been confused with that of the Irish saint Darerca, or Moninne, said to have been the first abbess of Killeavy, near Nerwy and to have died in 517; and she has perhaps been confused with others as well. Capgrave and others speak of St. Modwenna as having charge of St. Edith of Polesworth, which were it true would throw no useful light on either saint. The most valuable information we possess about St. Moninne seems to be the entry in the Felire of Oengus: "Moninne of the mountain of Cuilenn was a fair pillar; she gained a triumph, a hostage of purity, a kinswoman of great Mary", with the gloss.
St. Noyala, Roman Catholic Virgin Martyr. She was beheaded at Beignan, Brittany Noyala walked from the site of her martyrdom to Pontivy, holding her head in her hands. July 6
St. Maria Goretti, Roman Catholic Virgin Martyr. Patron of youth, young women, purity, and victims of rape. Feastday July 6
BL. MARY THERESA LEDÓCHOWSKA, B. BENEDICT XI, POPE
Martyrs of the Abrahamites, Roman Catholic monks who were members of the monastery founded by St. Abraham of Ephesus at Constantinople. The Abrahamites were defenders of icons and sacred images and were martyred by Emperor Theophilus, an Iconoclast. July 6

Unseelie Pet: 15. Chapter
Alex meets an old acquaintance out on a walk, Malachi plays a game with him and his tactic of trying to play nice shows some unexpected side effects.
Previous Masterlist Next
Content warnings: dehumanisation, humiliation, dubcon touching (not sexual), drugging (faerie food), captor bonding, dubcon kiss
Tagging: @galaxywhump @castielamigos-whump-side-blog @whumpsideblog @thewhiteraven73 @slaintetowhump @frnkieroismydaddy @u-n-o-f-f-i-c-i-a-l
Alex stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the lesser faerie across the forest glade. After he’d gotten over the humiliation of being collared and leashed like an animal, the strolls had quickly become his favourite part of the day. Part of it was that they offered the opportunity to memorise the outlay of the Court, but he also greatly enjoyed going outside and stretching his legs in general. Malachi mostly held the filigree gold chain connected to his collar slack, and so it had been easy to ignore – up until now.
Now the sight of Darerca brought back all the humiliation and embarrassment, and he was unable to take another step. Malachi didn’t notice his sudden distress and continued walking, causing the leash to go taunt and pull on the collar. Without thinking Alex immediately started walking again as his training kicked in, and a cold shudder ran over his back when he realised that Malachi’s meticulous efforts had actually paid off.
He was tense and kept his head down, hoping with all his heart that Darerca wouldn’t notice or recognise him. Faeries usually didn’t waste a second glance at another’s pet, and he was neither outstandingly pretty nor did he wear particularly noticeable clothes today. He was just one of many human pets that populated this Court, he wasn’t remarkable in any way, surely she wouldn’t recognise him…
Darerca laughed when she saw him. “Now this isn’t something I’d ever thought I’d see!” she gloated. “Oh, it’s too good! Rían’s favourite, insubordinate human reduced to a tame pet!”
Alex flushed crimson and balled his hands into fists, he was mortified. Anger shot through him, and he was about to shout profanities back at her, just to show her that he wasn’t broken yet… but caught himself just in time when he noticed the expectant way Malachi watched him. The Fae was just waiting for him to do something stupid and wouldn’t hesitate to punish him on the spot. Which probably was exactly what Darerca wanted.
Still shaking in anger Alex breathed deeply and quickly followed Malachi, not looking up or acknowledging Darerca in any way. A couple of hundred yards further down the path Malachi stopped and turned around. Alex stopped as well and didn’t resist when Malachi gently cupped his cheek and tilted his head up.
“Good boy,” he praised with a proud smile, then placed a kiss on Alex’s forehead.
Alex bristled, he didn’t like it when Malachi treated him like this in public, but at the same time he couldn’t help the rush of relief, the Fae was pleased with him. Since the last punishment he’d been especially careful not to upset Malachi again and had even managed to find some sort of comfort in his overbearing caretaking. The Fae had insisted on personally putting salve on Alex’s back every night before bed, and even though he hadn’t allowed the welts to be healed with magic, they had all but disappeared by now.
“You look upset, my sweet.” Malachi gently stroked Alex’s cheek with his thumb. “Would you like to walk further or go back inside?”
“Back inside, please,” Alex said, making sure to widen his eyes the way Malachi found cute.
“Of course, darling,” Malachi cooed and readily lead the way back.
The next day Alex didn’t want to go outside at all.
“Come on, pet, you know how important it is for you to get proper exercise,” Malachi reminded him sternly. “And the weather is so nice today, it’ll be lovely.”
Alex shook his head. “No, please,” he whined, looking up at Malachi from where he knelt on his favourite sitting pillow. “Please, I can’t – not today, please.”
Malachi sighed. “Alright, just this once you may stay inside, but only because it pains me too much to see my darling this upset. We won’t go outside today if you promise me that you won’t make a fuss about it tomorrow.”
“I won’t, I promise. Thank you, Malachi.” Alex smiled at him, almost overwhelmed by relief. There was no way Darerca could see him today, and even though he would have to risk it again tomorrow, at least he was safe for now.
“Hmm, what shall we do instead…” Malachi mused, causing Alex to tense again. “Ah, I know!” he exclaimed, and with a flick of his writs a wooden box appeared upon the table. “We will use the time to play a game.”
Immediately Alex’s relief transformed into dread, he well remembered the last ‘game’ Malachi had forced him to play. Warily he obeyed when Malachi ordered him to come sit at the table with him. He felt uncomfortable so high up on the chair, usually the only furniture Malachi let him use whenever he was in the room was the bed and the stool in front of the dressing table. Alex’s confusion increased even further when instead of some sort of torture equipment Malachi took a chess board and pieces from the box.
“You want to play chess with me?” Alex asked with surprise.
“Well spotted, my dear,” Malachi said. “Do you know how to play?”
“A little,” Alex replied. It had been a long time since he’d last played, the social circles he’d been in generally preferred card or dice games over chess.
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you if needed.”
“Thanks,” Alex said automatically. He attentively watched Malachi set up the board, trying to recall all of the rules. Both the board and the chess pieces were made of polished jade, making Alex realise that the entire set must have cost a fortune. The small wooden game his father had carved himself definitely didn’t compare.
“Here, I will give you the first turn,” Malachi said generously and turned the board so that Alex could access the white pieces. “Please, go ahead.”
Worrying his lip Alex debated which piece to move first, this situation had come so suddenly and wasn’t like anything he’d expected. He was about to take one of the middle pawns, then hesitated.
“What will happen if I lose?” he asked. The memory of the losing pet receiving thirty lashes as a punishment at the ball was still fresh in his mind.
Malachi seemed confused by his question. “Well, you will hopefully recognise and analyse the mistakes you made and therefore play better next time,” he said.
“That’s all?” Alex was surprised. “There won’t be any punishment?”
“I hadn’t planned on it, no,” Malachi replied, then grinned. “But if you would like to make it more interesting…”
“No!” Alex breathed deeply, then added more quietly: “Please, that won’t be necessary. I’ll do my best, I promise.”
For a moment Alex feared that Malachi would insist, but then the Fae’s grin softened.
“Very well, how could I resist my darling pet when it’s asking so politely?” Malachi gave him a smile, clearly happy when Alex returned it. “Now please, the first turn is yours.”
At first Alex stayed tense, he found it hard to believe that there wasn’t any kind of hidden danger and only relaxed slowly. He gradually grew more comfortable with the game, surprised at how many things he still remembered from playing with his father all those years ago. True to his word, Malachi helped him whenever he was stuck and even explained his own moves and strategies. Engrossed in the game, Alex didn’t even notice that he was actually having fun.
Despite his generous assistance Malachi checkmated Alex’s king quite easily. He still congratulated Alex on the good game and praised his intelligence, very pleased that his pet was smart enough to be an interesting opponent. Once they were done Leah brought Alex his dinner, and he obediently relocated to the floor to be handfed by Malachi. Soon his mind buzzed pleasantly from the faerie food, and he was content enough that the gentle way Malachi petted his hair didn’t even feel bad.
As promised Alex didn’t complain when Malachi hooked leash into his collar the next day. He was still scared to run into Darerca again and therefore nervous and jumpy, making sure to follow even closer behind Malachi than he usually did. As if he was sensing Alex’s discomfort, Malachi lead him on a narrow and little-used path. The woods here were much more vivid and lively than those in the human world, and when they didn’t meet any other faeries, Alex eventually managed to relax and focus on the beautiful scenery.
A tree had fallen across the path ahead, and Malachi held his hand out to Alex to help him climb over it. Alex hesitated, then took the offered hand and felt himself blush at the strong and yet gentle way the Fae assisted him. It was so confusing, on the one hand Malachi hurt and humiliated him, but at the same time he was also incredibly caring. When he took care of him Alex could almost believe that he wasn’t just a replaceable toy.
And it was so easy to give in, the Fae never hurt him as long as he behaved but only praised and rewarded him. Alex had thought that he would be better at resisting than the other pets, but it simply wasn’t fair how nice Malachi was whenever he got what he wanted. He allowed him to pick books at his leisure now and had even gifted him the luxurious chess set after their game the day before.
Alex looked up at the Fae, entranced by the pattern of light and shadow the leaves above painted on his face, only enhancing his ethereal beauty. Malachi’s eyes flicked down at him and he smiled, the little gesture enough to take Alex’s breath away. Pull yourself together! Alex reprimanded himself, but still found that his gaze travelled back to Malachi again and again.
Once they were back in the room Malachi had Alex sit on a pillow at his feet while he fed him pastries and other delicacies. They discussed the contents of the book Alex was reading at the moment, and apart from the face that he was literally on his knees Alex felt like Malachi talked to him on one level. He readily leaned in when Malachi pulled his head to rest against his leg and closed his eyes, enjoying the soft way the Fae ran his fingers through his hair. These kinds of touches meant that he was safe, Malachi never gave him affection when he was angry.
“Come up here, sweetheart,” Malachi said after a while and patted the couch next to him.
Alex looked up with surprise, but Malachi only repeated his invitation and gently helped him climb up. He’d gotten so used to sitting on the pillows that being on the sofa with the Fae felt almost forbidden, and he didn’t even mind it when Malachi pulled him to rest half in his lap.
“Good boy,” Malachi purred and wrapped his arms around Alex, holding him close.
Resistance rose in Alex and then settled again, this actually felt kind of nice. He leaned into Malachi and inhaled the flowery scent of his perfume; everything was so warm and fuzzy. There was the dim thought that maybe he shouldn’t cuddle with his captor, but how could that be right when it felt so good? Malachi steadily rubbed his back, whispered gentle praise and covered his hair in tiny kisses.
Slowly, Alex tilted his head up and tentatively kissed him back on the lips. He felt Malachi stiffen in surprise and pulled back, worried that he had gone too far. With a fond smile of his face Malachi cupped Alex’s cheek and carefully caught his lips in another kiss. Alex sighed, this time it felt even better than the one before. His whole body tingled pleasantly, and he wrapped his arms around Malachi’s neck, sitting sideways in the other man’s lap as they continued their gentle exploration.
Eventually, Alex stopped the kisses and rested his head on Malachi’s shoulder, content to just snuggle again.
“Good boy,” Malachi murmured again and went back to rubbing Alex’s back. “You’re doing so, so good. Shh, sweetheart, I’ve got you. You’re so perfect, absolutely perfect for me.”
