i'd like to take a brief interlude from my depressive spiral to present a small excerpt from the slutty elriel fic i'm working on, still hoping to get this out this week but taylor swift put a pin in my plans and i've been wallowing in bed for like 96 straight hours.
no warnings here bc im saving the actual slutty content for the full published piece.
hope everyone's having a good week 💖
Elain blindly wandered down the dark hallways.The echo of her heels on the stone floor was menacing, causing the already frantic beat of her heart to rise to an almost worrisome crescendo. It didn’t help that she could barely see and was relying solely on the occasional flickering fae light and the cool, insistent shadow pressed to the small of her back to guide her towards her mystery destination.
It felt like she’d been walking for hours, turning this way and that in the labyrinth that made up the various chambers of this unfamiliar place but finally, the pressure of the shadow on her back eased as she approached an arched door right at the end of the seemingly never ending hallway. She paused in front of it, unsure what to do until the shadow slid up her arm and along her neck, wrapping itself around her ear.
Go.
Elain swallowed, her gloved hand reaching out for the doorknob.
Subconsciously, she knew where that shadow had been guiding her. Knew that the neat, dark interior of this room was the perfect match for what she’d always imagined in those salacious dreams of hers.
She’d been ready to see him. Aching to see him. But to open the door and get her first glimpse of him… she hadn’t quite been ready for that.
Azriel was reclined in a leather chair behind his desk. The jacket he'd been wearing earlier had been discarded and left to drape on cabinet at the far end of the room. The first few buttons of his crisp white shirt was undone, providing a glimpse of the tantalising tattoos hidden underneath. He had one long leg folded over the over, one ankle resting on his knee. And on that knee, cradled by his large, scarred hand, sat a short glass of amber liquid that perfectly matched his honeyed eyes.
Listen I will acknowledge that nobody’s soldier is like perfectly primed to be an oc song. It is of course it is. But I also feel like to get so caught up in that and ignore the pretty blatant imagery that he chose with the mv, is a disservice. Which like yeah that’s pretty par for the course with his discography but like I just wanna say I see what you did there sir.

Kotetsu asking Karina for books on Physical therapy despite Definitely having been through it Many times himself implying that Kotetsu never looked into ways to improve physical therapy when He was the one doing it.
But his presentation of Music to improve Bunny’s recovery the next episode implies that he Did do the readings and has been looking up what he can for Bunny’s sake. (Even though it makes him seem like a worried parent)
It also further implies that while Tomoe was sick Kotetsu probably read up on all the treatments (although he couldn’t really understand the medical stuff) and the side effects and how people deal with them. Kotetsu with his arms full of palliative care products and taking them out and explaining what all of them do and when to use them and how they’re gonna get through this just fine.
‘Worried dad.’ Like that’s not just a manifestation of Kotetsu silently SCREAMING for his loved ones to give him a chance to preform his main love language. (Acts of service) Because he can Feel them hurting and Needs to make it better. Somehow. Even just a little.
‘Worried dad’ Barnaby says. Cause that’s the context he knows Kotetsu’s fretting worry the best. Directed at Kaede. Because that’s the only context Barnaby has, of a worried parent or caretaker. (That’s Samantha’s job not yours) And maybe it itches under his skin more than it should because he doesn’t Want to be another one of Kotetsu’s kids - like Kaede and Karina. He wants to be Kotetsu’s Partner. In one meaning or another.
Just. Goddamnit. Kotetsu is trying so hard to express his love and affection and it is just not Barnaby’s language. Barnaby barely knows Any love language aside from ‘i’ve got your back’ and ‘well SOMEONE has to take care of you!’ because of his childhood.
But Kotetsu? He speaks that language fluently. That was him and Tomoe’s love language too. ‘You’ll find them and you’ll both just know.’ He’s found his person and he’s Hearing love in the language he knows and now every time he reaches out his hand it keeps getting smacked away - No I have Plans - but Hey hey i love you. Whether or not I know what i’m asking until the moment your warm and in my arms who can say- but come here Barnaby. Let me in. I love you. I want to stay.
