The MLA(/PLF) Headcanon Post (1/2)

In response to this nice ask about whether I have any headcanon or thoughts about the current members of the MLA/PLF, I spent two weeks blithering 16.5K words of exactly that into a Word file, because when it comes to underappreciated characters I love, I do not understand restraint. This post and its follow-up will cover all ranked ex-MLA members of the PLF, as well as Original Flavor Destro and Curious, since I wasn't going to leave them out of a project like this even if they aren't "current."

The ask only mentioned having previously read The Lore Post, the last exercise in ridiculousness that I wrote at the tail end of MLA Week, so I wrote this to summarize everything that doesn't appear there—which is to say that a lot of the material in these two posts will look familiar to anyone who's read my fanfic about the MLA cast. There’s still plenty of new material to go around too, though!

So, I don't have much in the vein of askblog-style headcanons where I can randomly tell you stray trivia about a character’s favorite foods or their love languages or what have you; that stuff either comes up when I'm writing fanfic or it doesn't. That said, below, please find a mix of thoughts I keep in mind when writing characters, facts that have only turned up in my fanfic/notes so far and not the Lore Post meta, and a selection of lightning round headcanon provided by cross-referencing a random number generator with some old questionnaires I keep around for OCs and tabletop characters.

In this post: Destro, Re-Destro and his advisors, and Geten.

Destro—

General Thoughts The whole "revolutionary leader" thing came very naturally to him. He was committed, charismatic, very willing to risk his life and safety for the cause, and he cared about his people. All that said, he absolutely had a pompous, prideful streak, especially where it came to his justification for terrorism. You only have to read his own words to see that. Still, he was in large part reacting to the world he lived in, one of greater violence and danger than the current day.

I like to think that—because he was genuine in wanting freedom for all—he would not approve of what became of his Army. He'd be able to see how they got there, and he would probably have made much the same choices if he'd been there with them, but while he would have agreed that his role should be remembered—that's just Due Credit—he would never have wanted to become the nigh-on religious figure his followers turned him into. Continuing to fight the good fight for his ideals is one thing, but secret salutes and isolated villages and being raised from infancy to know your life has only as much worth as it can contribute to Liberation… Well, it's just not what he would have wanted for his people, much less his descendants.

Family Situation Chikara was only around 7 when his mother was killed, the event that would shape the rest of his life. He wasn't hiding in the closet from the mob, either; he was kicking and punching and biting, his motivation to save her overflowing—but he was still only 7, and eventually overwhelmed. His own life might well have ended there with hers, but for a group of neighborhood vigilante types (at least one of whom probably went on to a career as a hero, after legalization).

He went most of his adolescence without getting involved with anything more sinister than student newspapers, founding a secret meta-rights "club," and attending the odd larger protest, but when the government started talking about passing laws restricting the use of meta-abilities, he started getting very radical very quickly, and when some absolute snake started to use his martyred mother's words to bang the drum for banning quirk use outside the home outright, he went off the deep end.

Lightning Round (Randomly Selected Headcanons)

Favorite book genre? Memoirs and biographies—he wouldn't have written his own if he didn't appreciate their value. The intimacy of the personal juxtaposed against the broad scope of history appeals to both his regard for individuality and his revolutionary mindset.

Most prized possession? Thoughts on material possessions in general? He doesn’t generally prize material possessions—in fact, he’s something of a skinflint. His most prized possession is an old pair of gloves that belonged to his mother, which he'd been wearing at the time of her murder. He didn't come from money to begin with, but his mother’s story made enough of a splash that his financial situation was improved by well-meaning sorts sending along donations and contributions and the like, as well as government officials knowing they needed to be sure that he wound up somewhere at least semi-reasonable lest they court further outrage by mishandling the son of a martyred woman. The money all went towards school and living expenses, though, leaving him quite experienced at balancing a budget, which would come in handy for that whole ‘leading a violent uprising against the state’ thing later on.

Academic Background: Got all the way through college! Was involved in student groups as far back as middle school, and only got moreso the further in school he got. Majored in Human Development; he was intending to go into the public health and policy sphere before the appropriation of his mother's language pissed him off so much he got into terrorism instead.

THE MODERN MLA

Re-Destro—

General Thoughts A huge amount of the way I write him is influenced by one single thing—his characterization as described in the second data book. His personality is summed up there as "sokoshirenai yami"—bottomless darkness, or, as a friend translated it for me, "unfathomable gloominess." That really, really stuck with me, because on the one hand, it's so opposed to virtually all of what we see of him on the page, where he's being cheerful or scornful or sycophantic; the closest he ever gets are his brief tears for Miyashita, Curious, and his other followers.

On the other hand, it makes so much sense that the man we see—the man who talks about the heavy burdens of his legacy, who was handed that legacy when he couldn't possibly have been any older than 6 or so, who willingly straps on a self-designed torture device to wring out more power, who all but worships the ground Shigaraki walks on even though Shigaraki is the reason Re-Destro no longer has legs to walk that same ground with—should be "unfathomably gloomy." Of course he's gloomy! He was never allowed to be his own person! He has never in his life known true freedom, only existed as a vessel to bring that freedom to others! And he can't really even talk to his closest friends about it, because his closest friends are still his followers, and he wouldn't want to weigh them down!

With that context, it makes all the sense in the world that he'd be so devoted to the man who relieved him of that burden.

Family Situation He loved his mother Yukie a great deal, despite knowing from early on that he was carrying the weight of the title because she believed she couldn’t. (Perhaps growing up hearing about the martyrdom of Destro’s mother left him wanting to ensure the happiness of his own, for her happiness was very rare.) He was 10 when she was killed in a Villain attack; she’d been on a daytrip over to a neighboring city to visit some of her erstwhile school friends. The requisite mourning period was 49 days, and as the only surviving family member, quite a lot fell to him even before considerations of his role as Re-Destro. it was perceived as better—for both the Army’s morale and for his own stability—for him to be involved with as much of the work of transition as possible, but obviously he couldn’t do it completely alone, nor should he. Thus, for two months after Yukie’s death, the previous generation's Sanctum[i] stayed with him in his family home. Afterward, he moved in with Anchor (one of his grandfather's advisors), where he would spend the rest of his young adulthood until moving away for college.

Claustrophobia The name of that literal-iron-maiden deathtrap he brings to bear against Shigaraki is no coincidence: Rikiya developed claustrophobia over the course of a stint of abusive training when he was thirteen. He generally has a pretty good handle on disguising it, thanks to a combination of people being unwilling to ask him questions they don’t actually want the answers to and the fact that he had to learn how to operate through it in order to complete the training at all. He has never told anyone, largely because he’s never been able to recognize that it was abuse, and so his abuser remains a figure of some influence.

Education He was largely taught by private tutors, in his home and in theirs, rather than attending school, but I think he probably wasn't completely home-schooled. Particularly once he'd decided that he did want to attend university—and not just some little local technical program, but a major school in a proper city—he probably attended classes a few times a week at his local high school just to get a feel for being around other people his own age. He'd been friends with Koku for several years by that point, otherwise he probably would have been pretty hopeless, but he was still a pretty odd duck by the time he got to university.

This, incidentally, is why he never pushed Geten too hard about school—his own experience of it was so weird and piecemeal that he mostly thinks of school as relevant only for the education it provides, and less so the crash course in social dynamics. Since Geten doesn't care about getting an education (nor, indeed, about learning how not to be a rude little troll), and has a strong enough quirk that he'll never lack for a position in the Army even without a formal education, Rikiya is perfectly happy to let Geten have his way and just be minimally learnèd.

Stress His powers operate by infusing his body with the characteristic black matter of his manifested stress; he can increase his size with this (his so-called Liberated Form isn't just armored up; he becomes physically taller and bulkier), as well as throw handfuls of the materialized power. A side effect of this is that his stress can also infuse itself into his bodily fluids. The stress matter is a highly dense particulate, so if Rikiya is not in proper control of himself, his proverbial blood, sweat and tears can be literally heavy with the weight of his power.

The Value of Life He cares very much about the lives of his followers, but those genuine feelings are filtered through both the mental compartmentalization required by an emotion-based quirk, and an upbringing that taught him to care about his underlings in the same way one would rare goods. Valuable goods, certainly, goods worth being proud of, goods to be maintained with care, but still, ultimately, things that can be sold or traded or bartered off as necessary to further one's goals. Even his own life, while "objectively" the most valuable of them all, isn't an exception to that policy—the Great Cause is more important than any individual life, up to and including his own.

On a Personal Note He’s something of an obvious weirdo to outsiders—his enthusiasm comes off as strident, his smiles overly polished—but despite that, he's bizarrely hard to dislike once they start spending real time with him. He's not anywhere near as prideful about himself as he is the legacy of the MLA, for a start; he's actually pretty self-deprecating when he's not performing the whole Heir of Destro's Great Bloodline routine at people. He's also happy to go along with other people sharing their hobbies (because he doesn't have any of his own). The more you get to know him, the more obvious it becomes that he's a total basket case, but “total basket case” is still an improvement over “self-absorbed 1%-er CEO” that people like Spinner come in expecting.

What Are Boundaries? He has very little understanding of how to enforce boundaries around his private life, or, indeed, of why such boundaries might ever be necessary. Oh, he can do the double life thing, keep the CEO of Detnerat separate from the Grand Commander of the Metahuman Liberation Army, but when it comes to the MLA itself, he's so groomed to devote himself to the cause that he doesn't really distinguish between the responsibilities of Re-Destro and the needs of Yotsubashi Rikiya. Rather than being the egomaniac you might expect of a man with the absolute power over others he has, he instead struggles to assert himself as his own person at all.

Issues with boundaries are not uncommon with the MLA—they're all raised to see themselves as warriors to advance the cause before they are, like, “human beings”—but Rikiya’s are particularly exacerbated because he was raised by adults who were getting pretty paranoid about his bloodline's tendency to die young, and thus were always checking in on how he was doing, dictating his schedule, weighing in on his plans, and so on. He just wasn’t raised with reasonable expectations for privacy. Even as an adult, he'll give his apartment door code to pretty much anyone in the MLA who has even a semi-plausible reason to want it—certainly quite a few of the elders know it! And it isn’t only the elders, either; Rikiya's phone and several of his accessories carry tracking chips courtesy of Skeptic, which Rikiya knows about and doesn't think is at all untoward.

While his experience dating Koku definitely taught him some hard lessons about how much he could allow himself to ask of people who would obey him without question (they broke up over Rikiya’s realization that Koku would never deny him anything, thanks to a cracked rib Koku didn’t see fit to tell Rikiya about until Rikiya hugged him a little too hard), he never learned how to value his own autonomy in turn. Oh, he's the Grand Commander, and everyone around him has been raised to venerate his bloodline, so most of them would never even think about trying to take advantage of him as such, but it's absolutely the case that people who are bold or familiar enough to try can basically run right over him with minimal efforts made at obscuring the fact. His life is full of people who do and have done exactly that, some to a net positive effect, and some—well. See again the entry about his claustrophobia.

The abjectly terrible state of his sense of self-worth is also the reason the Claustro exists. While he was relatively capable of trying to work around his phobia when he was younger, the older he got, the more it started to feel like leaving doors cracked behind him or only working in offices with big spacious floor plans and oversized windows was, in some way, Letting Down The Cause by allowing his fear to control him, rather than embracing it so he could properly stockpile it for later use. A dinnertime chat with Curious about turning one’s trauma into a weapon for the good of others catalyzed this, leading to the development of the “burden-enhancing steel pressure mechanism,” Claustro.

(It also means the clone of him made by Twice to handle Detnerat after Deika is bizarrely okay with its circumstances, which I will almost certainly write more about one of these days, but I’m still kind of reeling from that reveal, so more on that another time.)

Lightning Round

Religion? He doesn't identify as being of a religious faith, but he was brought up in the same peaceful marriage of Shinto and Buddhism that the majority of Japanese people are, and like many, he adheres to a number of traditional practices more out of habit than devout faith. There are two celebrations that demand significant emotional investment from him. First comes the New Year's celebrations, important because the MLA prides itself on looking to a brighter, freer future, and it's a period when he can let himself think that maybe he'll be just that little bit closer to Liberation by the end of the year than he was at the start. Second is Obon, a summer festival for honoring one's departed ancestors. Since his authority and his life's work derive entirely from his bloodline, he's obligated to care about this one, though in practice, he tends to shy away from thinking much about Destro (who he has very twisted-up feelings about indeed) in favor of less emotionally fraught waters.

What did he dream of being or doing as a child? Did that dream come true? He never really had a significant period where he thought about being e.g. an astronaut or a doctor or a hero; in fact, it came as something of a surprise to him the first time Koku asked him what he was planning to do when he grew up. He always just had the nebulous expectation of, "Be the Grand Commander," and the elders were happy to leave it at that until he brought it up on his own.[ii]

How does he behave around children? He likes kids! He’s wistful about the freedom enjoyed by happy children while also being sympathetic to ones that seem overly burdened. He’s not the most natural person in the world with them, but most of them can tell that the awkwardness comes from a well-intentioned place, and will treat him as a funny-looking man who’ll let them bother him at length without getting mean. It turns out he’s actually pretty good with them, then, if only by virtue of being easily bullied. (This, notably, goes for non-MLA-affiliated children. Everything’s much more formal within the cult, though it didn’t Geten long to suss out the “easily-bullied” part, either.)

Trumpet—

General Thoughts The largest factor in how I write Koku is, of course, the headcanon that he and Rikiya are ex-lovers, and neither of them is 100% over it even all these years later. Beyond that, though, Koku is the most temperate of the group, the one with the most easy charisma (MLA members are more swayed by Re-Destro, but Koku does better with outsiders who aren't predisposed to hanging on Rikiya's every word). He strives to come off as The Sensible One, and given the extremes the rest of the inner circle are capable of, it's not hard for him to maintain that title. He's as messed up as any of them, though, second only to Rikiya in levels of childhood grooming. He thinks of himself as a practical man, but he is deeply indoctrinated, the boundaries of his expectations very much defined by his upbringing, so he never really sees it coming when he gets clobbered by something from out of left field.

Family Situation: Koku has the largest family of the identified members. Aside from his grandfather (called Old Man Hanabata, the founder of the Hearts & Minds Party, and passed away by the canon era), Koku has cousins, nieces, nephews and more, courtesy of his uncle, his older sister and her husband, and other extended family.

He’s also the member most accustomed to wealth, power and influence. He's from a rural area, certainly, but being in a family of hereditary politicians (and with that family not suffering a string of untimely deaths and disappearances like Rikiya's did), he was raised from the start with ready access to money and nice things. Still, for all his family's sway in a major branch of the MLA's operations, they're not First Families, and thus don't have any elders in their ranks, making them still somewhat subordinate to said elders when it comes to orders about the Great Cause. (He’s working on it.)

Meeting Re-Destro Koku and Rikiya met at 12 and 10 respectively, when Koku tagged along with Old Man Hanabata for a meeting RD was likewise accompanying Anchor for. It had been the better part of a year since Rikiya's mother passed away, but he was still strikingly melancholy for a boy that age, which—along with all the weight given to the importance of the meeting—left quite an impression on Koku. Koku thus became Rikiya's first real friend in his own age group, a friendship heartily encouraged by everyone around them. Koku was well-behaved, intelligent, a little older but not too much so, and set to become influential without a danger of becoming too influential; he was seen as a good choice for a friend.[iii]

The Break-Up Painful as it was at the time, there was a silver lining to his and RD's post-college break-up: it got Koku out of the elders' pocket. He’s been groomed for one thing or another all his life, but after he became friends with Rikiya, he was always getting leaned on to report back to the First Families about how Re-Destro was doing, and to try to influence him towards actions the First Families approved of. In a very real sense, Koku was part of the apparatus keeping Rikiya from any real freedom. Their break-up and subsequent estrangement meant that the elders had far less to breathe down Koku's neck about, and by the time they reconciled, Trumpet had gotten his feet under him, as had Re-Destro, and they were both better able to fend off such background meddling.

This doesn't mean Trumpet's not still carrying a torch, however. He thought he was handling his long-banked feelings pretty well—being Professional, being the advisor Re-Destro needed and as much a friend as Rikiya would allow—right up until Rikiya scared the life out of him by nearly dying in Deika. He's all but glued himself to Rikiya since, as much as he can get away with given their respective responsibilities.

As an Advisor Other than leading the HMP, he does some work with internal politics and reputation. It's not, strictly speaking, his actual job as advisor—Re-Destro or the elders would probably be sought for more formal or critical mediations—but he and the people who report directly to him do enough travelling around to see constituents that they're often in a position to field those tensions before they get big enough to require attention from higher up. Koku's happy to do so, in fact—not because he just loves handling petty arguments about resources, but because the HMP is a faction of the MLA in and of itself, and mediating is a boost to that faction's standing and autonomy. (Also, it's that much less on Rikiya's ever-overburdened plate.)

Lightning Round

What would he do if he needed to make dinner but the kitchen was busy?Ahahahahaha, “make dinner but the kitchen was busy,” please. Any time there could feasibly be someone else occupying a kitchen he has any business being in himself, it would be a housekeeper, and s/he would be making food for him/his family. It’s not as though Trumpet has never cooked—he did live alone for some years after school—but outside of a scant few years in university, there’s never really been a time that kitchen use overlap would have been a problem for him.

Favorite indulgence and feelings surrounding indulging. Probably gourmet cuisine, especially imported stuff. He’s had tailored clothes all his life; they’re just part of the job. Expensive alcohol also doesn’t wow him; it wouldn’t be strange to find some sake maker whose family has been doing it for sixteen generations in the village he grew up in. It’s a lot harder to cultivate a true gourmand’s palate out in the sticks, though, no matter how rich your family is. Living in actual civilization affords a great deal more variety—and anyway, nice dinners are one of the few things he can reliably tempt Rikiya into accepting. As to his feelings about indulging in general, he’s broadly For It. He works very hard, he seldom gets real time off, and it doesn’t help the Great Cause for him to deny himself nice things, unlike some people. (He’s maybe a bit bitter.)

Does he like to be the center of attention all of the time? Not especially. Oh, he’s very good at it, certainly, and he doesn’t dislike it, but being the center of attention is practically always going to be tied up in The Great Work, so he desperately needs to get out of the spotlight from time to time, if only to be able to turn off the persona.

Curious—

General Thoughts There are two main factors in how I write Chitose: her practicality and her rapaciousness. I write her as having an appreciation for good moral character in other people, especially when it makes a good story, but not considering herself particularly bound by conventional morality: her moral compass is Liberation, and she follows it unswervingly. I also write her as predatory, lusty about a lot of things, often to the point of overstepping. It doesn't hurt anyone that she likes hearty foods and strong alcohol, but she also doesn't have much regard for peoples' boundaries, and even less so when she thinks they have something to offer the Great Cause.

While that trait isn't without its benefits, it can get pretty ugly, too, as we see in how she treats, and talks to, Toga. Even with Rikiya, the only person she thinks of as 'above' her in any meaningful sense, she's not at all above manipulation. She's respectful of him, but knows him too well to always take him at his word. He plainly can't always see what's best for him, but what's best for him is best for Liberation, and therefore, as a Liberation warrior, it's her responsibility to sometimes make decisions for him. He'll appreciate it in the long run—he always does. (Skeptic and Geten have similar views—Rikiya makes it easy.)

Family Situation She probably has the best actual relationship with her family of the group—her mothers are removed enough from the heart of MLA politics that her relationship with Rikiya doesn't color her family life the way Koku's does his, and she's much more sociable than Skeptic or Geten. She doesn't get home much—just the major holidays, work permitting—but she's in frequent enough communication for a grown woman, and chats with her younger sister more often than that.

Meeting Re-Destro She met Rikiya properly when they were 21 and 27 respectively. They were living in the same city at the time (him running Detnerat, her in university), so of course she'd seen him at the odd MLA event he turned up at, but when she landed an internship in her junior year, she cheekily turned up one day in her reporter capacity to interview him as “a local rising star of industry.” It was the first chance they'd had to talk one-on-one, and would not be the last, as she frankly elbowed her way into his life and gradually sussed out that here was a man with Problems. He and Koku were still in a distant patch at the time; she is largely responsible for getting them back on friendly terms as a way of showing her Pure Intentions.

The fact that her Pure Intentions both land her a square position as one of RD's advisors herself and get Rikiya to a better place emotionally is calculated, but not, therefore, untrue. Ironically, while she was concerned about looking like a gold-digger, the MLA elders were probably thrilled and relieved to hear rumors that Rikiya was getting romantically involved again. And with a lovely young MLA woman! They wouldn't even need to worry about surrogacy arrangements! (Not having grown up around the Yotsubashis, Chitose is unaware of exactly how pointed an interest the elders take in the matter of securing that bloodline.)

Feelings Today She loves Rikiya dearly, and prizes his regard more highly than anything in her life, but has not devoted much thought to the idea of being in love with him. She's married to her work, as they say, but she's also keenly aware that Rikiya would, for a great many reasons, be a lot of work to be in love with. She's decided it's generally better for his mental well-being, and therefore also better for the Great Cause (she’s much more capable of reading that relationship reciprocally than Rikiya is), to make sure he's eating at least one good meal a week and getting some proper socialization in outside of MLA meet-and-greets.

As an Advisor She handles external politics and reputation--it's her job to prime Japan culturally for the Liberation agenda in ways more wide-reaching than Trumpet (he's head of a political party, and that's not nothing, but that party is still a small minority on the floor of the Diet). She pulls attention to stories that benefit the MLA, and diverts attention from stories that don't. This is far broader than just publishing Destro's memoir; it also means poking holes in the broader Hero Society narrative. She does this by providing as broad a platform possible for stories about the tragedies of excessive regulation, the evils of quirk-related bias, the abuses of power heroes are capable of, and so on.

Lightning Round

Does she remember names or faces easier? She’s quite good with both, actually, but I’d give names the advantage because she works primarily with written rather than visual mediums. (Also, BNHA names being the ridiculous puns that they are, you can probably tell more about a person in HeroAca Land by analyzing their name than their face anyway.)

Is she more concerned with defending her honor, or protecting her status? Her status, absolutely. Impugning her honor hurts no one but her; she can laugh that off because honor is a silly social construct anyway. Threatening her status is a much more dangerous prospect—her status is long-cultivated to enable the advancement of Liberation ideology; it lets her keep an eye on Re-Destro, who needs as many people looking out for him as he can get; it’s what she’s worked for all her life. Curious will fuck you up if you threaten her status.

In what situation was she the most afraid she’d ever been? The time she got in trouble for nearly exploding some dude’s face off for stealing her purse. She was 17, had spent very little time in non-Liberated territory before, and was not raised to wait on heroes to solve her problems. She wasn’t afraid of the thief or the hero, really, but she was completely terrified that she might have just blown over half a century of secrecy by not performing Helpless Civilian well enough. The terror was pretty convincing to the police interviewing her about it, anyway. On the whole, it was a very valuable learning experience!

Skeptic—

General Thoughts Tomoyasu is a character I haven't written extensively yet, but what I think is most interesting about him so far is the contrast of his hyper-modern methods with the bone-deep zealotry for the cause. See, Rikiya, Koku and Chitose all grew up in the sticks; Rikiya and Koku had money from a young age, but it was old money, tied up in trusts. (Geten didn't have any of those, but Geten's a different story for other reasons.) Tomoyasu grew up in a major city from the start; he was a technological prodigy from practically as soon as he could hold a tablet. He has very little respect for the old ways of doing things when he knows there are newer, better ways of advancing the Cause. However, none of that makes him more likely to break from the MLA's ranks—if anything, his idiosyncratic approach just causes him to approach Liberation in really weird ways, ways no one else would ever come up with.

Pressganging Bubaigawara Jin based on a plan to clone Re-Destro? Who else would that ever even occur to, much less such that it became the basis for an elaborate psychological assault? But that's Skeptic in a nutshell—respect the old for what it did at the time, but don't think that means you have to use the same methods they did forever as you pick up the torch to carry it forward.

Family Situation He has an amicable but not intimate relationship with his family. His parents are very proud of what he's done for the cause and how he won the confidence of Re-Destro, but they don't make much claim to understand how his mind works. In turn, he recognizes the value of their support over the years—he certainly made a lot of waves with his unabashed venom for the MLA leadership's hidebound traditionalism, and his parents' staunch backing meant a lot for him being able to take the stands he did—but is not very emotionally close with them. Might find himself with an older brother, if I ever occasion to write about his family situation in more depth.

Education He graduated a four-year university program for getting his computer science degree in two very intense years, during which he did virtually nothing for the Great Cause, his intention being to better position himself for maximum ability to advance Liberation afterward. See above re: battles his parents fought for him while he was busy modernizing.

Meeting Re-Destro He met Re-Destro via Curious. He was 22, just a year out of university and already climbing the chain of command at a young telecommunications company. Rikiya was 33, working on the Claustro, and needed proprietary comms built to a higher standard of security than Detnerat was focused on. Curious, who was always better positioned to be keeping up with the local personalities, introduced them.

Tomoyasu attempted to keep a civil tongue in his head the first few times he and RD met, but he'd been running on bile and energy drinks for years by that point and was hard-pressed to stop just because he was meeting his Grand Commander. If anything, finding out that Rikiya was okay with his direction and his mouth eventually helped him chill the fuck out, marginally.

On that note, Skeptic is absolutely the advisor most willing to backtalk Rikiya right to his face. (Rikiya loves him for it.) Oh, he'll still accede to Rikiya's wishes, and Re-Destro's orders are his highest priority, but that doesn't mean he feels obligated to be diffident about it. Like Curious, he has a highly developed sense of, "It's fine if it's for the greater good," which will and has led to him taking things into his own hands when he thinks he knows best (which is always). He's not going to explicitly disobey orders, but he will creatively interpret them if he feels strongly about them, and he will try to "anticipate" orders before anyone has time to give him specific ones, the better to tailor his efforts towards proving his methods and goals correct rather than being stuck with orders he hates.

On Names I’ve definitely evolved some in my approach on this since I started writing the MLA cast, but at current, Skeptic and Geten are the only ones I consistently write as using and thinking mainly in terms of code names rather than given names. Trumpet is too familiar with the public/private divide, and has too much intimate history with Rikya-the-person, to default to Re-Destro; Curious is too trained to look for The Human Heart of the Story. Re-Destro himself, ever since breaking up with Koku, has always tried to use code names for people (himself excluded, because he has enormous self-confidence issues about measuring himself up to the original Destro), but can slip into given names when he’s vulnerable. To Skeptic and Geten, though, the code name is the real name, for all intents and purposes. The cover identity is a fake; the whole point of the code name is that you’re proving yourself worthy of taking up your proper place in the Army. Of course the name you win for yourself is the name that counts.

Given a blank piece of paper, a pencil, and nothing to do, what would happen? You’d pretty much have to lock him in a room with nothing but paper and pencil in it for that to be his first resort rather than whatever item of personal electronics he’d otherwise have on his person. But assuming some actual plausible scenario—couldn’t bring his electronics into a government building, let’s say—he would find trying to do something productive on paper and pencil rather beneath him, and he’s an inveterate fidgeter. I mostly see him folding that ludicrously tall frame of his into a chair and setting to using the pencil to poke about three hundred holes in the sheet of paper, meticulous and orderly, while muttering complaints to himself the whole time until something annoys him a bit too much and he jabs the whole pencil through the page.

Who does he see as his best friend? His worst enemy? I headcanon him having a very reasonable, functional, productive relationship with his No. 1 advisor, Red, and being reasonable, functional, and productive probably goes a lot farther on making you Skeptic’s “friend” than any amount of emotional intimacy. But “best friend” is not really the kind of language Skeptic uses for his relationships; if you were to ask him who his best friend is, he’d probably tell you, “Iced coffee.” As to his worst enemy, that’s just whoever is annoying him most on any given day, from difficult clients, to people annoying Re-Destro, stodgy elders, that hero grinning like a tool, that couple walking too slow in front of him on the sidewalk, etc. And Skeptic is pretty proactive about dealing with enemies, as much as he can be.

Has he ever been bitten by an animal? How was he affected (or unaffected)? lol he is a city boy and always has been. He probably tried to pet a stray cat once out of curiosity, and because it seemed like the sort of thing people did, and then has never forgiven Animals In General when it bit him and then ran off.

Geten—

General Thoughts Another one I haven’t written a great deal about yet, particularly in the present day, though I’m looking for that to change soonish. One thing I’d like to explore is Geten when he’s not seething with rage and shame because he failed to bring Re-Destro a victory in Deika. The fandom tends to write Geten as an always-angry attack dog barely contained beneath a chilly veneer, and that’s fair—ever since we got the face reveal, ever since the MLA’s defeat at Shigaraki’s hands, Geten has been an always-angry attack dog barely contained beneath a chilly veneer.

But if you look at Geten from before we knew what was under the hood, you find a different story. “Chilly and angry all the time” is not at all how he acted when he was fighting Dabi! At that point, he was talkative, even chatty. He engaged in a lot of snide smack-talk; he was obviously confident in himself and he spoke very proudly of the MLA as a collective.

He was still quiet at the dinner he attended with Rikiya and his advisors, yes, so I don’t think Geten’s done some kind of full 180 on characterization. I do, however, think that Geten has a sense of humor in there, has a sense of camaraderie with the MLA rooted in more than just his relationship with Re-Destro, even if Re-Destro is obviously his most important person. I don’t know if we’ll ever see that in the manga proper, given everything that’s happened, but it’s worth remembering in terms of what Geten is like when he’s solely among allies.

Family Situation Orphaned at a young age, and a problem child from then on. He passed through a series of foster parents and state facilities before eventually crossing paths with the leader of the local MLA branch in Kesseru, Beacon (more on him next time). This encounter would lead to him being sent to a group home with a reputation for being good with such difficult cases, giving them Structure and Companionship and Meaningful Work. (Spoilers: It’s Liberation.)

Despite evening out considerably after a significant meeting with Re-Destro when he was 7[iv], Geten never got particularly close to his adopted family/the other kids at the group home. He's very favored by the Grand Commander, for one thing, and he has the strongest quirk in the home for another—and since he learned the quirk supremacist stuff from them, that’s a pretty significant part of the dynamic! Both of these factors mean there's some distance between him and the rest. Still, he's not on bad terms with them—indeed, his foster parents are quite proud of him—and he would probably tear out someone's throat with his teeth for threatening them, if only as a matter of pride.

There are 4-6 other kids there at any given time; for the bulk of his young adulthood, there were two older than him, the others younger. He doesn't have much time for Big Brother Pastimes, but is not completely immune to them, either, particularly where the youngest kids are concerned. His tolerance for Little Brother Antics, however, is nonexistent—if the older kids think they can ruffle his hair and treat him like a kid, they can square the fuck up; he is Number One around here and don’t forget it.

Education Geten never went to school, but he's not completely uneducated. He had some tutoring in the group home, some more from Re-Destro personally, and has a pile of books he keeps at his bedside, mostly strategic in nature. He finds them vexing at times, but is slowly reading through them anyway because Re-Destro asked him to. He’s been a bit more diligent about it since he was made a regiment leader, because lord knows Dabi isn't contributing much.

On Re-Destro Re-Destro became fond of Geten for the same reason he became fond of Skeptic and Curious—Geten was willing to push back. He really did make some attempts early on to keep Geten at a proper distance, mindful of anything that would look too much like favoritism. And Geten knew, in the hard-headed way of a child, that Re-Destro was being a grown-up about things, trying to be mature, trying to be impartial. Geten just didn’t care about any of those things. Every time, he would listen very seriously to the things Rikiya told him, nod attentively, repeat back what he’d been told, and then go on about doing his own thing anyway. And his own thing was, typically, to keep coming back.

Of course, if there’s anything we can tell about Re-Destro from the way he treats Shigaraki, it’s that Re-Destro loves people who take the choice away from him.

Eventually, of course, Geten grew up (mostly; I peg him at 19 now), joined the MLA officially, and had to settle into the structure of the Army. It began to lead to trouble for Re-Destro, when Geten blatantly disobeyed him; it stopped being cute. Still, the sense that he Knows What’s Best lingers, so Geten works himself very, very hard to be everything Re-Destro needs him to be and more, so that maybe Re-Destro’s burden will be just that little bit lighter.

On Quirk Supremacy (and Re-Destro, still) Here’s the thing about Geten and the whole, “A life without a strong meta-ability has no value,” line, and this continues to drive me mad because of how people getting it wrong influences the bad takes on the MLA in this fandom: Geten is not a reliable witness. He is not one of the leaders of the MLA, nor does he speak for its rank and file. Even if you assume the absolute worst about his implications there, far worse than is justified by the text, Geten’s very name, Apocrypha, means that he cannot be presumed to be aligned with MLA orthodoxy.

The only one of the people close to Re-Destro who wasn't born and raised MLA, he still manages to come off, in some ways, as the most zealous of the lot of them. But really, it’s very noticeable that Geten—unlike Re-Destro himself, and unlike even Re-Destro’s close cohort—never talks about the original Destro, never even mentions him. When he thinks about his leader, he only ever thinks about Rikiya. Geten doesn’t follow Re-Destro because of his bloodline, because of the tenets; he follows Re-Destro because of personal loyalty.[v]

So how best to do that? Well, think about it: Geten is not terribly intelligent, nor wealthy, nor well-connected. He and Trumpet are the ones most influenced by the quirk supremacist line of thought, Trumpet because his relatively weak quirk comes off as exponentially stronger the more he can surround himself in people it works on, and Geten because his strong quirk lets him mentally justify Re-Destro's investment in him despite his other insufficiencies.

Compare this with Re-Destro, who only ever talks about quirks in terms of freedom. Even more prominently, look at Skeptic and Curious, who are not at all defined by their quirks and how strong or weak said quirks may be. Indeed, those two devote scarcely a thought to the matter because they contribute to the cause in much more important ways and seem to be perfectly comfortable with where that leaves them.

Geten may not be very smart or influential, but he’s very capable of looking at what strengths he does have and focusing hard on those. That, I think, is what really lead to his embracing quirk supremacy, even in the face of evidence that he doesn’t have the whole picture: the search for a way to measure himself up to the movers and shakers Rikiya is otherwise surrounded with, and not come up drastically wanting.

“Apocrypha” Geten has been Geten for a long time, since long before the MLA types usually take up their code names. He’s also an outlier in the MLA for having a name in Japanese instead of in English—the only one who does! My headcanon, unless and until we get some other members with Japanese code names, is that he got the name directly from Re-Destro—possibly even in the conversation that lead to him imprinting so hard on the man when he was 7—and insisted on keeping it before any other code name that was suggested to him in later years.

But yes, he does have a normal Japanese name on file at the group home, which he’s obligated to answer to on the rare occasions that someone from Child Services is checking in or he and Re-Destro are out in public. I don’t plan to bother coming up with it unless I need to, as I expect we’ll get it in a character profile one of these days.

His Quirk While a lot of people like the vibe of Geten and Dabi being somewhat equivalently vulnerable to their own quirks, and I agree it makes for good fanart, in truth, Geten is only as vulnerable to his ice as Endeavor is his flames. Which is to say, he isn't immune, but he's certainly more resistant to it than the average person would be! There’s already plenty of good material to contrast Dabi and Geten without pretending their quirks are more mirrored than is actually the case.

Lightning Round

How does he treat people in service jobs? He doesn’t, because he’s never in a position to interact with people in service jobs. There have been times he’s gone out with Re-Destro, but in those cases he’s mostly let Re-Destro handle the human interaction.

What does he dislike in other people? Laziness; the lack of a higher purpose of some kind. (It’s possible he’d thaw out on his disdain for Dabi considerably if he knew more about Dabi’s plans to undermine the whole of the Hero System than Dabi is inclined to tell him.)

Is he always there for a friend in need? Sure, as long as by “friend” you mean “fellow Liberation warrior” and by “need” you mean “in need of an icicle punched through one of someone else’s desperately fleshy body parts.”

Footnotes

[i] Sanctum II's tastes being what they are, this probably means Rikiya is the MLA member most likely to be able to perform traditional Japanese tea ceremony.

[ii] And there were elders who would have been happy to leave it at that permanently, I'm sure. There are always going to be those regents who have trouble relinquishing power back to the boy prince when he grows up and becomes king, you know?

[iii] And, when it eventually got out that they were dating, a relatively solid match, give or take the surrogacy arrangements that would eventually need to be made.

[iv] I’m hoping canon gives us some details on this eventually, so I’m not planning to iron out more headcanon on the matter unless I absolutely have to.

[v] This, incidentally, is a large part of why Rikiya does keep him around—it’s soothing to have someone around who never brings up his ancestor. Anyway, after Geten evolved his quirk, people stopped complaining so much, even though RD never did get around to, like, giving Geten any formal responsibilities. Geten, who knows very well that Re-Destro’s real advisors have real jobs, mostly took this as reason to be all the stronger, in hopes that he’d eventually be given one.

February 7, 2021: Emma. (2020)

Another late one, people! Tomorrow might be a bit later, too, full warning. Like I said, school’s back in session, and I got students to teach and class to prepare!

When I was a kid, I was a pretty avid reader, mostly due to my mom’s drive to get me to be an avid reader. I read Shakespeare from an early age, which might be why I like it so much, and why I remember it so well.

I also read Jane Austen’s Emma when I was 10 years old. On a related note, I remember none of Jane Austen’s Emma. On another related note, I’m fairly certain that I saw its most famous adaptation, Clueless, and I don’t remember that either.

I’m tempted to rewatch that one, since I don’t remember it AT ALL, but I figure that I’m going to place a more direct adaptation of the work first on my list of priorities. And so, one of the ONLY movies to come out last year is one my list, starring an up-and-coming “it girl,” Anya Taylor-Joy.

From what I can tell, this is a fairly popular movie on this platform, so I’m looking forward to watching it, despite knowing NOTHING about it, other than the fact that it’s a romance drama, and based off of a classic British novel by Jane Austen. Shall we? SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

Recap

Emma Woodhouse (Anya Taylor-Joy) lives in the 1815 English countryside, with her father, Mr. Woodhouse (Bill Nighy), and her caretaker, Mrs. Taylor (Gemma Whelan). However, this is about to change, as she is to marry Mr. Weston (Rupert Graves) that day.

Emma is a sweet girl, who seems to be ale to predict things to pass. She also set up the present marriage, although she seems not to want one for herself. However, she also seems interested in the whereabouts of Mr. Taylor’s son, Frank. He never shows up, though.

Meanwhile, the Woodhouses are visited by George Knightley (Johnny Flynn), whom her father favors, and whom Emma seems to clash with. And Imma call it now: they totally end up together in the end. I mean, c’mon.

Emma’s trying to replace Mrs. Weston nee Taylor as a governness, despite the fact that her father doesn’t want it. Emma finds Harriet Smith (Mia Goth), a young women whom she goes to school with, and apparently might be the illegitimate daughter of a nobleman. She’s also interested in setting Harriet up, as Emma prides her skills as a matchmaker.

However, Harriet’s already interested in a local farmer, Robert Martin (Connor Swindels), but Emma’s trying to set her up with a local vicar, Elton (Josh O’Connor). They go to meet Mrs. Weston, and Emma introduces herself to Elton, who she believes likes her in return.

The next day, Emma and Harriet go to the store, where the gossipy busybody Miss Bates (Miranda Hart) comes to speak with the VERY unwilling Emma, and the considerably more interested Harriet. Miss Bates is speaking up her niece, Jane, although Emma certainly doesn’t seen to care nearly as much as Miss Bates thinks she does.

On the way home, Harriet and Emma encounter Robert Martin, and Emma's definitely not a fan of that potential relationship. Instead, she regularly puts down Mr. Martin, and talks up Vicar Elton.

As Elton and Harriet begin getting closer, and Emma seems to be vindicated in support of the relationship she set up, Knightley’s...not impressed. In a conversation with Mrs. Weston, he basically says that she gets high on flattery, and while she isn’t necessarily a true narcissist, she still NEEDS approval from her peers and others. That’s why she’s setting up Harriet, who feeds her constant flattery.

In addition, her whole “never going to get married” thing doesn’t seem to fly with George, here, who’d like her to fall in love with someone who isn’t...well, a simp, let’s be honest here. And honestly, this is already an interesting character dissection, and I can dig it.

Knightley complicates matters for Emma, when he convinces Martin to write a letter, asking for Harriet’s hand in marriage. However, due to Emma’s subtle manipulations, she convinces Harriet to refuse the proposal, despite the fact that she clearly wants to say yes. And while Emma might be beautiful, and quite smart...yeah, she’s a bitch. Or, at the very least, she acts like one for her own benefit.

Knightley, pissed off about this whole thing, confronts Emma about her manipulations, and states that Martin might be the ideal match for Harriet. After calling her out, and warning her that Elton miiiiiiight be a bit of a ladies’ man, and that he’s certainly the wrong match for Harriet in the end. Emma admits that she mostly wants to keep Harriet for herself.

Autumn turns to Winter, and Emma’s older sister Isabella Knightley (Chloe Pirrie), and her husband John Knightley (Oliver Chris) (and George’s younger brother) come to visit Emma and her father for the holidays. George and Emma make amends, although Emma still won’t admit that she may have been wrong.

Christmas Day comes, and Harriet is sick, while Frank Churchill once again neglects to appear at the house of his father and new wife. George berates his neglect of his familial duties, while Emma argues in his favor, obviously harboring a crush on him still.

At dinner, Elton makes a remark about snow, causing LITERALLY EVERYBODY to leave the party prematurely, and Emma’s father accidentally leaves her behind. Elton, however, offers to give her a ride in his carriage. And in the carriage, he reveals that not only does he actually love Emma, but that he doesn’t care for Harriet at fucking ALL. Fuckin’ WHOOF.

Looks like Elton’s misread EVERY POSSIBLE SIGNAL, and Emma FUCKED UP SOMETHING FIERCE. Harriet is quite saddened by this, and is about to destroy a portrait of herself that Emma made for her. However, Emma instead keeps it. Elton disappears for a number of weeks, just as the niece of Miss Bates, Jane Fairfax (Amber Anderson) suddenly reappears.

At dinner, it’s revealed that Jane appears to know Frank Churchill, as they live in the same place. During a piano performance of Jane’s that’s WAY BETTER than Emma’s performance, it’s also revealed that Emma’s been compared to her all of her life, giving her some fat, fat insecurities!

After an awkward encounter with Mr. Martin, Harriet goes to the Martin household to visit his sisters. Meanwhile, the long-awaited arrival of Frank Churchill (Callum Turner) comes, and Emma is unsurprisingly smitten with him. He asks her for a dance at an upcoming dinner, and she accepts.

Knightley is, of course, not impressed with the worldly gentleman. Meanwhile, someone has apparently delivered a pianoforte to Jane Fairfax, and it’s pretty goddamn obvious that it was Frank Churchill. Although, it’s possible that it was George Knightley, who’s been matched to her by Mrs. Weston.

And it’s at this point that I should point out that GODDAMN THIS IS A SOAP-OPERA OF A MOVIE. The hyper-detailed intentions and events, all happening within the confines of high society and etiquette are both overly intricate, while also managing to be...weirdly enrapturing.

The next morning, after a six-week absence, Elton’s come back to town with brand new wife, Augusta Elton (Tanya Reynolds) in tow. Augusta matches Emma’s passive-aggressiveness measure-for-goddamn-measure, which, yeah, PISSES EMMA OFF.

But it’s still good news on the horizon, as Frank’s appearance has prompted the Westons to hold a ball. While Emma and Frank seem to be getting along, Elton is prevented to opportunity to dance with Harriet, only to refuse LIKE AN ABSOLUTE TAINT. On the verge of tears, Harriet’s rescued by George, and they dance alongside the rest of the partygoers.

Emma shows his appreciation for this, and Knightley returns his appreciation for her friendship with Harriet, who’s way goddamn better than Augusta. The two decide to dance together, and the two basically fall in love RIGHT GODDAMN THERE AND I AM GODDAMN HERE FOR IT.

Which sucks, because I’m, what, a little more than halfway in? No way it’s this easy.

And as Knightley and Emma realize their feelings the next day, they actually run towards each other, SEE each other...and then get iterrupted by Frank carrying Harriet post-her being attacked by muggers GOD FUCKING DAMMIT REALLY?

Plus, it looks like Harriet might be in love with Knightley now, after the previous night. HowEVER, since the previous night, Emma is now in love with Knightley, and believes that Harriet’s feelings are directed towards her rescuer, Frank Churchill. But Frank’s in love with Jane. Like, for sure he’s in love with Jane. And Knightley’s in love with Emma, although Mrs. Weston believes that he’s in love with ane, as he leant her his chariot the previous night, although he DIDN’T do that, and the chariot (and piano) must’ve come from Frank, who’s actually in love with her, not Harriet, as Emma believes. YOU GOT THAT? BECAUSE I’M ASTONISHED THAT I DO

Summer comes, and there seemingly no major changes to the love lives of our main characters. Can’t say that for George’s mansion, as he’s unveiled all of the paintings in the place.

Might be wrong about the progression of relationship thing, as George and Harriet appear to be getting along, and Emma and George suddenly...aren’t. And THEN, Jane tells Ema that she’s feeling super down at the moment, and leaves. Which is when Frank shows up, which Emma appears to not be super happy about.

Later, at a luncheon, Emma takes out her emotions upon Miss Bates who, while kind of annoying during the film, doesn’t deserve the insult lobbied her way by Emma. Afterwards, George DESTROYS her, and she...she gets it. She’s been an asshole.

After a good cry, she goes to apologize to Miss Bates, who immediately forgives her, as she tends to do. It’s also pretty quickly revealed after that that we find out that Frank has ALWAYS been engaged to Jane, since he arrived to Highbury. AND, Emma finally findss out that Harriet’s in love with George, not Frank. Which...yeah, Emma’s not a huge fan of, for obvious reasons.

However, Emma points out that George might have been trying to get Harriet involved with Mr. Martin, but also tries to step back. However, Harriet RIGHTLY calls her out this time, bringing up the fact that Emma fancies George, and that it’s because of Emma that she refused Mr. Martin. And Emma finally gets it. ALL of it.

George, hearing of Frank’s engagement, goes to comfort Emma in her time of distress. And after railing out Frank for his lying ass, he starts to confess his true feelings to Emma. But she tries to stop him, but THERE AIN’T NO STOPPIN’ LOVE BABY

And as he STRAIGHT-UP PROPOSES to her...her nose bleeds and she says no.

Finally, it’s confirmed that George was speaking on Mr. Matin’s behalf, not his own, and Emma pledges to make things right herself. She delivers the painting of Harriet to Mr. Martin, and he proposes to her. Harriet accepts, and has also finally heard from her father, who isn’t a nobleman at all, but a shoemaker. Emma still invites them over to their estate, and the two make up as friends.

And speaking of making up, George and Emma also make up, and the two are officially engaged to be wed. And it’s honestly...quite lovely. Which describes the whole film, which comes to a close.

WHEW. Now THAT...was a Recap. See you in the Review!

Book Review

After the Wedding. By Courtney Milan. 2018.

Rating: 4/5 stars

Genre: historical romance

Part of a Series? Yes, Worth Saga #2

Summary: Adrian Hunter, the son of a duke's daughter and a black abolitionist, is determined to do whatever his family needs—even posing as a valet to gather information. But his mission spirals out of control when he’s accused of dastardly intentions and is forced to marry a woman he’s barely had time to flirt with.

Camilla Worth has always dreamed of getting married, but a marriage where a pistol substitutes for “I do” is not the relationship she hoped for. Her unwilling groom insists they need to seek an annulment, and she’s not cruel enough to ruin a man’s life just because she yearns for one person to care about her.

As Camilla and Adrian work to prove their marriage wasn’t consensual, they become first allies, then friends. But the closer they grow, the more Camilla’s heart aches. If they consummate the marriage, he’ll be stuck with her forever. The only way to show that she cares is to make sure he can walk away for good

***Full review under the cut.***

Trigger/Content Warnings: race-based micro aggression, implicit slut shaming, sexual content, strong language/swearing

Overview: I don’t think I need to say why I picked up another Courtney Milan book at this point, so let’s get on with the review.

Writing: As always, Milan’s prose gives the impression of simplicity and effortlessness. I think she has a good instinct for when to tell versus show, and I like the way she communicates what is happening clearly and thoughtfully. I also think her pacing in this book was pretty close to ideal - she wasn’t afraid to let emotionally heavy moments breathe, and more exciting “action” (if you could call them that) scenes didn’t take up more space than they had to.

Plot: The majority of this plot revolves around Adrian, our hero, trying to “get dirt” on a corrupt bishop while also balancing his duties to his family and seeking an annulment for his forced marriage to Camilla, our heroine. I’ll talk about the romance below, so for now, I’ll focus on the other aspects of the plot. The annulment plot was rather straightforward in that I think Milan clearly communicated what Adrian and Camilla needed to do. I liked that it wasn’t just “abstain from having sex,” but a whole tangle of things, like obtaining character witnesses, referring to themselves as married, the matter of their social standing, etc. As Milan writes in her author’s note, annulments actually weren’t that easy to obtain, and I’m glad this plot made it clear.

The “getting dirt” on the bishop plot was also understandable. Given that the bishop in question was the one who forcibly married the two, it makes sense how the original mission to uncover his corruption would be tangled up in the annulment plot. I didn’t find this storyline quite as compelling, but I understand why it’s there - more to serve as a frame than the actual “meat” of the story itself.

The family business/china business plot mostly seemed to serve as an external pressure on Adrian, and though it started out as just another source of stress, it became more interesting to me when Camilla got involved with both the the plate designs and the camaraderie of the workers. But though I found it personally uninteresting, I do appreciate why it was there - it gave Adrian an enterprise to focus on, and gives the impression that he isn’t just at his uncle’s beck and call. He’s an independent businessman in England who has an eye for art, which goes against a lot of stereotypes or assumption about Black people in 19th century England, I think.

Characters: Adrian, our hero, is youngest son of a white mother (the daughter of a duke) and a Black abolitionist (from America, I think?). He is confident and kind, inspiring others to be their best selves and displaying remarkable understanding when they make mistakes. Adrian also desires to be acknowledged by his maternal uncle, a rival bishop who shows affection in private but treats Adrian like a servant in public. He wants so desperately to be acknowledged that he lets his uncle take advantage of him, and a large part of Adrian’s arc involves him finally getting the courage to draw the line and put a stop to it. I found Adrain to be instantly likable and sweet, and I think his ability to tackle problems, juxtaposed with his hilarious inability to lie, was quite fun to watch.

Camilla, our heroine, is the daughter of a disgraced earl and has been shuffled around from home to home. As a result, she’s lost contact with her siblings, and has serious abandonment issues, but remarkably, she still has the courage to hope that someday, someone will love her enough to stick around. I like how her personal arc mirrored Adrian’s in a way: while Adrian longs to be accepted by his family, Camilla longs to be accepted by anyone. Part of both of their arcs involve valuing themselves, and with Camilla, it’s especially powerful because she has so little support to begin with (as opposed to Adrian, whose brother Grayson is always there to look out for him). Camilla’s internal thoughts had a bit of a tendency to be repetitive, but I do think Milan struck a good balance between voicing Camilla’s insecurities and acting admirably. In other words, Camilla didn’t come across as clingy or desperate to me, in part because she never sought to *make* Adrian stay with her.

I also very much liked the sibling dynamics in the story. Grayson, Adrian’s older brother, is supportive and always shows concern for Adrian’s happiness, and I liked the rapport between them. Camilla’s siblings are fun to read about; Theresa is a forceful personality who is always clashing with their elder sister Judith, but they love each other regardless. I was incredibly happy when they finally found each other, especially since Camilla’s absence was a major point of pain in the first book of this series.

The antagonists were serviceable in that they weren’t especially nuanced, but I felt that the lack of depth worked because the story wasn’t really about the conflict with them. Adrian’s uncle, for example, is perfectly civil; he’s never outright racist, but makes a lot of remarks that show he is ashamed of his Black family, and constantly puts off acknowledging Adrian because of how it would affect his social standing. I think this was a good move on Milan’s part because it didn’t opt to showcase “how bad things were back then” by using racism as a spectacle. Similarly, the corrupt bishop and his accomplice (Camilla’s former employer) were barely characters in the book, but their purpose was mainly to be the catalyst for Adrian and Camilla’s story. Their corrupt dealings revolved thematically around unjustly punishing “fallen women,” so there was an element of feminist justice as well as racial justice to the novel as a whole.

Other: Readers looking for a steamy, sexy romance might be a little disappointed in this book. Milan is not so much concerned with sensual, rapid seduction as she is with a gradual shift from acquaintances to allies to friends to lovers. Adrian and Camilla’s emotional bond is very much at the heart of this love story, and though they are physically attracted to one other, their sexual interest takes a backseat to mutual support. I did enjoy how each enriched the emotional lives of the other: Adrian gave Camilla the confidence to accept that she deserved to be loved, while Camilla’s fierce sense of hope inspired Adrian while also leading him to expect better of his uncle.

I also liked that Milan wrote a mixed race hero and a bisexual heroine without letting those aspects become the defining features of their characters. While we never really forget that Adrian is not white, he’s also not constantly enduring racist remarks or poor treatment. Instead, Milan shows us how Adrian operates in the world by code switching and adopting an air of confidence so that white people will treat him a certain way. But while those things are present, Milan takes great care to show that Adrian is first and foremost a kind person who perhaps gives people too many chances and trusts too easily, which sometimes gets him in trouble, but sometimes endears him to others. Some (probably white) readers might complain about historical accuracy, but honestly, Black people existed in 19th century England and had jobs other than “servant.” And also, who cares about “historical accuracy” in a historical romance - the point is escapism. Get over it.

Perhaps the only thing I can criticize in this regard is that the focus on both living as a Black person in England and the injustices shown towards women (both in society’s treatment of “fallen women” and in the ecclesiastical courts) are topics worth exploring in detail on their own. Because there was so much going on, I felt like neither topic got its due diligence, but maybe not every novel needs a thorough exploration of these themes. Maybe this is just personal preference.

Overall, this was a delightful read, and I liked it better than the first installment in the series. Milan continues to be my favorite romance author, and I look forward to her next book!

He holds a life in his hands, one he has been commissioned to wring out and put an end to. One he doesn't want to risk. A life he wishes he had never crossed paths with, to begin with.

But it is still in his hands.

And when he sees him, when he watches the way sunlight makes his skin bronze and how plants of all kinds open up to greet him, Hoseok doesn't think he can go through with it.

Killing Son Hyunwoo cannot be the answer.

There is a prophecy older than time itself. Only a few know of its existence and even fewer know of its contents.

Hoseok does not know what it says word for word, but he knows what it means. He knows why it has been kept secret for so long.

The King would have his head if he caught a whiff of Hoseok's knowledge on the subject. Only those in his inner sanctum are meant to know, but Hoseok knows.

Entirely by accident, mind you, but this knowledge still puts his life in danger. So he decided to get close and stay close so that when the King grew suspicious, Hoseok would have a chance of fleeing before his ultimate demise by the King's men.

The amount of money he receives for each commission isn't bad enough to pay for his mother's medical needs by the way. The arrangement works out double for him in the end.

Hoseok thinks he could make it a few years out on his own before he is captured and turned in though. He is not the number one witch hunter in all of the Seven Realms for nothing. He has outwitted and outfoxed the most brilliant of magick users in the kingdom. He has more blood on his hands than he could ever have the ability to wash off and he wears that like armor.

He looks as tough as everyone expects him to all so that no one would be dumb enough to mess with him.

All so that he can be left alone just like he wants and just as he has always been.

He needs this witch's blood.

It is meant to be used in an immortality potion, but Hoseok doesn't understand how one form of magick is meant to trump another. Is it not wrong to fight fire with fire, after all?

Well, not Hoseok specifically, but the King ordered him too and if Hoseok wants enough money to pay for his mother's medicine, he too wants the High Warlock's blood.

Hoseok knows what is at stake and when he first catches a glimpse of Son Hyunwoo, it is like the heavens above parted just to let this celestial being grace this horrible slice of reality where a king slaughters his own people for the sake of remaining in power. He looks fearsome from afar, fearsome enough to make even Hoseok pause, but when he comes closer and spies from the brush surrounding the witch's cottage, that is the moment he realizes that maybe love does exist after all.

So he keeps his distance. Not because he is afraid of his own feelings, but because he is afraid that he may already be too involved with this particular case than he should be. A lot of things ー important things ー hang in the balance with this and if Hoseok messes up, if he makes one false step, then everything before his very eyes could go up in flames.

He needs this to work.

It should not surprise him that soon enough, it all blows up in his face.

After one night when Hyunwoo came out to water his garden and Hoseok noticed how moonbeams danced across his face and how the pixies fluttered about his head like a halo, it became too much. Hoseok retreated even further into the woods and camped out there, making sure that he could still observe the witch this far out and that he remained undetected.

It was fairly easy at first. Hyunwoo had not given any indication up until that point that he noticed Hoseok lurking about at all and the woods were easy to navigate, easy to live off of. Waking up to the sun rising and hearing the birds chirp is enough to make Hoseok feel at peace within himself just like being able to sleep under a blanket made up of stars does. It definitely should have been a warning sign for him, feeling content and happy for once in his life, but he had never expected to underestimate one of his targets in the massive degree that he did Hyunwoo.

On the night of the next full moon, Hoseok goes to bed early and does not wake with the usual warming sunlight slanting across his face. Instead, he wakes up to fur in his mouth and a loud growling by his ear with drool dripping down onto his clothes. Hoseok has seen his fair share of creatures and led too many expeditions not to realize that a werewolf has infiltrated his camp, but before he even gets the chance to come up with a strategy, the mass of fur in his face is being lifted and gently pushed away.

Hoseok sits up and instantly feels calm, his heart rate slowing back down to normal as he catches sight of a glowing Hyunwoo. His dark hair is in its usual bun atop the witch's head and his robes are a light, dusty rose color that complements Hyunwoo's skin tone surprisingly well. There is a smile on his face that only further confuses Hoseok, but what is most confusing of all is the fact that when Hyunwoo turns back to the werewolf and pets it on the head, fear lances right though Hoseok's heart. And it is not the usual fear, it isn't even fear for himself either.

The fear he feels in that moment is for Hyunwoo.

But Hyunwoo shows no hesitation, no fear at all as he continues to pet the wolf while he murmurs something that Hoseok cannot make out to it. It is hypnotizing to watch.

"You really should be more careful."

Hoseok has never heard Hyunwoo speak before and it almost comes as a shock to him when he realizes that the witch just spoke directly to him, but he fights to not let that surprise show on his face as he thinks of something to say in return. Nothing comes though and they continue to listen to the sounds of nightlife in the woods around them as Hoseok carefully avoids Hyunwoo's gaze.

"It's fine if you do not wish to speak just yet," Hyunwoo continues, stepping closer as he does. "I only want to make sure that you are okay. You can shake your head yes or no."

His voice is so calm, Hoseok thinks, calm enough to tame even the wildest of cats. Or dogs, whatever. What matters is that Hyunwoo is awaiting a response and even if Hoseok did not know who this witch was prior to tonight, he would still be unable to deny him anything that he wanted.

So he nods his head and feels something sizzling just beneath his skin that leaves him feeling breathless as he finally looks up to meet Hyunwoo's gaze and finds them twinkling just like the stars high up above them.

"Good. Come along then."

"I still don't think he should be here, Alpha."

Hoseok has grown tired of hearing the same phrase leave Changkyun's lips for the past few hours and though Hoseok is sure that Hyunwoo is not able to look anything other than composed and compassionate at all times, he is sure that Hyunwoo feels the same.

"Are you doubting my judgment, pup?" Hyunwoo asks with a smile on his face that does not match the steely tone of his voice.

Changkyun bares his teeth at Hoseok when their eyes meet but quickly diverts his attention back to Hyunwoo. "Not at all. I just don't trust him. I can smellー"

"I am perfectly aware of what you smell on him, Changkyun. But I am your elder, your Alpha, and your High Warlock, am I not?" Hyunwoo cuts him off, the glow over his skin darkening ever-so-slightly.

"Of course!" Changkyun yelps, his young face flushing as he bends his head down in a clear sign of submission. "I'm sorry, Alpha. I spoke out of line."

Hyunwoo sighs and his smile softens enough to turn Hoseok's insides into mush. "All is forgiven, pup. Now hurry home, Kihyun must be missing you."

Changkyun looks unwilling to go, but to Hoseok's relief, he only nods and leaves Hyunwoo's cottage quickly enough. Hyunwoo visibly relaxes once the werewolf has left and Hoseok is left studying him as if he will never get the chance to do so again. Hyunwoo's face is soft, there is no better description than that, but his softness is something other men would be too proud and arrogant to embrace the same way Hyunwoo does, unknowingly or not. His hair is out of its bun, longer than it was before and a shade lighter, but his skin is the same tan it always is due to working on his garden under the relentless sun. Hyunwoo's beauty is almost too much to bear for Hoseok's frail heart.

"I apologize for Changkyun," Hyunwoo's voice is almost as soft as his face, but fuller, the sound of it rich. "Werewolves are very territorial and I told him you were out there beforehand, but he didn't listen."

Hoseok almost chokes, his eyes blowing wide as he gapes at Hyunwoo. "Youー!"

Hyunwoo only smiles. "You're not that great of a witch hunter, you know. I mean, who in their right mind falls in love with their target?"

"What?" Hoseok croaks, his heart falling to the floor with each word Hyunwoo speaks.

"I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm flattered. You're very handsome and the pixies like you, but I don't know anything about you," Hyunwoo continues as if Hoseok had not spoken at all.

Hoseok clears his throat and tries again now that Hyunwoo is looking expectantly at him. "How do you know any of that?"

Hyunwoo's smile curls around the edges, a twinkle in his eyes that sets alarm bells off in Hoseok's head. "I know everything that goes on in my forest. Also, the pixies will rat out anybody for some sugar water. Plus, I always knew it would be you who the King would decide to send."

Hoseok blinks at him, not knowing what to say now. Hyunwoo is obviously patient enough to wait it out, but there is something in the tone of his voice that just doesn't sit right with Hoseok at all.

"You know about the prophecy?" Hoseok asks in a hoarse whisper that even he can barely hear.

"Of course. It is about me, after all," Hyunwoo chuckles before he tilts his head and lets his smile simmer. "You could stay here with me if you want."

Hoseok's heart stops. His breath freezes in his lungs as he stares at Hyunwoo across the room, trying to figure out if this is real life or if the werewolf really did eat him. Just thinking about the latter leaves Hoseok feeling irritated that a simple werewolf did him in after all that he has faced already. He has never been faced with this though. Hyunwoo is just too good to be true... Not to mention that Hoseok cannot abandon his mother.

"Butー"

"I can brew your mother's medicine here and have her set up in a cottage in the village nearby where many of my friends would be able to look out for her and protect her from any harm. You don't have to worry about that," Hyunwoo says without missing a beat, waving his hand to make two mugs float towards the table. "The King would never find either of you if you decided to stay."

"How do you know any of this?"

Hyunwoo smirks. "Magick."

Hoseok knows that is not too far-fetched, but the amused grin on Hyunwoo's face makes him edgy. So he decides to press on.

"And the rest?"

"I'm friends with an Oracle. She told me you were coming a long time ago, Hoseok."

A pinch to Hoseok's thigh quickly proves to him that this is real life after all and when Hyunwoo chuckles at the incredulous look on his face, Hoseok can't help the way his heart stutters in his chest. He is too far gone to care anymore.

Hoseok absolutely cannot and will not hunt Hyunwoo down for the sake of the King.

He holds a life in his hands and for once, he is deciding to nurture it instead of killing it off like he usually would. Fuck the King and his evil ways anyway, Hoseok is not scared of him anymore. Even if Hyunwoo knows that Hoseok is in love with him, even if Hyunwoo is the key to this entire mess or not, Hoseok will protect him with his life now.

(Hyunwoo is not surprised, his Oracle friend, Bora, had already shown him and Hoseok living a happy life together and even if he does not love Hoseok right now, they will always have time after the Great Battle of Magick and Demons to fulfill the bright future Hyunwoo was shown a long time ago.)

On the night of the red moon, the High Warlock will put the Evil King's reign to an end through hate or love and the kingdom will rejoice because what was wrong is now set right. The High Warlock has only one choice and all must pray to the heavens above for his will to not bend.

Oookay...didn’t actually mean to make a bunch of pictures (and people) but I’ve been sick all night so I had to do something to distract me from the pain in my intestines.

Getting started I’ve got the guys with new pictures before the actual new guys, so here we go:

Brian Jenkins - Brian has been around for a while and changed avatars a few times (he started out as Nikki Sixx but, it just didn’t fit after a while). Anyhow, he’s an author who generally writes about the world unseen, like fairies and their kingdom but more recently started writing a more modern, real-life love story. If I’m remembering right, Brian was in an accident when he was a young child that left him paralyzed from the waist down. He lives in a duplex with his younger sister Courage.

Synyster Gates - His real name is Sam Daniels but he took the name Synyster when he wound up on the streets. I don’t remember exactly what Syn’s story is, other than he’s a member of the street gang the Slayers in New York City and is the lead guitarist for the band Avenged in the 3rd generation with Eir (a former Slayer that’s blind in one eye) and I think her name is Maddox, but I’m not sure. We haven’t talked about them in SO long.

Vartan Renyolds - Matt Renyolds older (step)brother, Vartan acts like an idiot but he actually has a law degree from Princeton. The two of them are from California and started the band after Vartan had walked out of his first job at a law firm, being turned out because he didn’t quite look the part. Vartan seems to be the one that has his head more on his shoulders and was the one who took the time to look over the contract with Revolver before he put pen to paper. Following Matt’s vocal strain and rather public breakup with his girlfriend, Quinn, the band remains on the label though is quietly working to reform themselves as something stronger. When the twins are hired, Vartan takes over playing bass for the band rather than guitar, allowing the boys to play lead and rhythm guitars in his place. Vartan is quite a bit more open than his brother Matt is when it comes to gay people and tries his best to make sure their fans realize Matt has nothing against them, but more their oldest brother, Kevin.

Nikolai Wolfe - Nikolai didn’t get a new picture but I did find out something about him the other day...he’s actually married to Faith Draven. Following the opening of Rose in San Francisco, his and Matthias’ mother died of a prolonged with stomach cancer. Her death was harder on Nikolai than his younger brother and he ended up falling off a wagon he didn’t even realize he was on before, slipping into heavy drug use and ultimately while in one of these hazes he and his longtime girlfriend, Faith, got married in Las Vegas. When he started getting his head on straighter, the two of them realized they were really only together because they were both druggies and separated. He thought they had gotten a divorce but he never processed the paperwork for the annulment and after all these years, they’re still married. Nikolai has had both male and female partners over the years, though he’s actually pretty choosy about who he gets into a more serious relationship with. He was with another chef while in Las Vegas, apparently, it wasn’t a woman like I’d thought before, but a man named Antonio, his former head chef at his restaurant in the Bellagio. When they broke up, Antonio took a job with one of Nikolai’s competitors, and very verbally dissed him and his restaurant, leaving him to train a new head chef for Duo before leaving. Antonio left him a bit burnt, so he’s not particularly looking for anything serious when he first gets to New York.

Jeremiah Turner - the owner of Rising Sun in New York City, Jeremiah is a self-taught chef with big dreams of becoming something more than what he usually winds up. His first take at Rising Sun was a small cafe in San Francisco with a specialty in cheesecakes and coffee though after his twin brother Jack suffered a harsh divorce at the hands of his ex, Jeremiah left his restaurant in the supposedly capable hands of his head chef, who ended up running the cafe into the ground. Floundering, he took the name and what little was left of his pride and followed in his brothers’ footsteps to New York. What he had left of his savings went into purchasing a building and turning it into the new Rising Sun, this time a full restaurant. Though they struggle at times, the restaurant is becoming a staple and its popularity grows by word of mouth from tourists in leaps and bounds. While doing better, Jeremiah is still unwilling to take his hands off of the restaurant, even at the chance of losing his girlfriend. He finally decides to take the chance and hires four new chefs, allowing them to tweak the menu a bit more than he would normally.

Jack Turner- Jack is Jeremiah’s twin brother and an artist, specializing in natural portraits and murals. He was married to John DeGrazzi but after getting dropped when John suffered a bit of a personal crisis, Jack was left to pick up the pieces of his life and try to start over again in a new city. Jack met Michael Beaumont quite by accident and fell in love with him harder than he had been expecting to as well as Michael’s two children, Aisling and Sean. Once it was legal, the two got married quickly and Jack has never been so happy in his life. Michael is an elementary school teacher and Jack had another stroke of luck when one of his paintings was “discovered” by a local art dealer, he’s slowly working towards his first show.

Finally, on to the new guys!

Andrew Lloyd - Andrew is one of Dakota’s friends in the 2nd generation. The two met when Dakota joined the Boy Scouts, but they became closer on a more involved camping trip that Ryki and a few of the other fathers took their sons on when the scouts turned out to be a little too soft. (The scoutmaster was against taking the boys camping in the woods, or teaching them how to start fires or...really anything you’d expect them to learn) Andrew is a very athletic, active young man, preferring to work with his hands whenever possible and has been training to be a UFC fighter, I think he’s been training at Gabriel’s gym though I’m not entirely certain. In order to pay for college and his training, he’s been working as a stripper at one of the nicer clubs, though no one knows about it.

Calvin Hideaki - Calvin was born and raised in Kyoto, Japan and grew up working in his family’s restaurant which specialized in making ramen and dim sum. After graduating from business school, Calvin took his act on the road, wanting to go to the United States and teach them what real ramen really was. With his grandmothers’ dumpling recipe handed down through the generations and the acceptance of his father, he left the family business in his brother’s capable hands and traveled to the US, starting to work first at a few local places around California before finally making his way to New York. He had been a head chef at Naruto Ramen before seeing that Rising Sun was looking for new chefs. Expressing his amusement that a place named Rising Sun didn’t have an Asian flair to their cuisine, he gets the job as one of the four new chefs by making his family’s signature dish for Jeremiah and Hannah. Calvin is married and his wife just gave birth to a little girl.

Arin Reyes - Arin is the new lead guitarist for the band Silex. Following Matt Renyolds’ vocal disaster and the unfortunate death of their original drummer from complications with AIDS, Arin and his twin brother Davin audition for Silex, hoping that one or the other of them will be able to join the band. Because of how well they play off of one another, the boys are both hired. Arin is a bit more vocal than his brother is, and will occasionally speak for Davin, though not all the time.

Davin Reyes - Davin is about 5 minutes younger than his brother and tends to be more silent, choosing to watch most people before he decides if they’re really up to his caliber and he wants to interact with them. He and Arin tend to play dueling guitars with one another, back to back when they perform and though they’re similar in styles, they barely have to speak to one another. Though not identical, the brothers are very close.

Witch!Kurt #29: Conspiracy Theory

Sorry this jumps around a little. There was so much build up to Kurt’s first original production that it seemed like a cheat not to show it.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Kurt peeked out from behind the curtain, stifling a squeak of excitement when he saw how many people were filling the Shapiro Auditorium. Dress rehearsal had gone well on Monday, but not so perfectly as to make him fear for the fate of his final, graded performance. There had been enough nerves and bickering ahead of Monday’s show to ironically reassure him that his cast would be in the right frame of mind for the big night. He had felt good about tonight, but with memories of Pamela Lansbury’s sadly ignored debut performance in mind, he had not been willing to hope that more than a couple dozen people would come to watch his original musical.

In spite of his pessimism, the advertising had clearly done its work. There had been posters up all over school on Monday advertising the first of this year’s Junior Finals productions, an original musical written and directed by Kurt Hummel. Staging a show during the typically boring lull between Winter Showcase and Spring Musical rehearsals seemed to have drawn a great deal of interest among Kurt’s peers. It looked like half the school was out there!

Craning his neck farther toward stage-left, Kurt was pleased to see a large turnout in the area reserved for Lexington House residents and family. The elderly theater-goers had adorably dressed up for the occasion, wearing pressed suits and nice dresses, paying respects to their friends by treating this humble college production as if it were a Broadway show.

Kurt’s own supporters filled the front rows. His coven was here, minus Elliott who had gotten his wish to be on stage as Constance Atworthy’s lap cat. The few Apples not involved in the show were happily fidgeting right next to them. Kurt could also see many of his friends from Stage Combat, a couple of friends from work and, much to his surprise, Cassandra July. The show didn’t feature much dancing, so he had not expected her, but the sarcastic Dance professor had taken a surprise liking to him this past year and Kurt was pleased by her support.

Sitting to either side of Adam, flanking him with physical reassurance to help him past any nervousness he might feel, were Henry and June, who had sent a text message this morning asking if he had room for two more, then literally popped in for breakfast. Next to them, front and center and beaming with pride, was Kurt’s dad. Carole had opted to stay home with Sam tonight, but he did not mind. She had sent her love and best wishes and also, much to Kurt’s surprise, her Familiar. The young man was sitting in the front row next to Burt, looking around and frowning, but at least polite enough not to anticipate the show with his ‘bored with this provincial amusement’ face.

At least two-thirds of the other seats, enough to fill Kurt’s stomach with butterflies, were people who had come for no other reason than the hope of being entertained.

Kurt shook his head and let the curtain fall back. He needed to get his head in the game if he didn’t want to bomb in front of everyone, most particularly the panel of NYADA professors who would be grading him on tonight’s production. . Kurt had drawn a tough panel; Professor Schulman from Writing for Screen and Script, Professor Utley from Dramatics, and Professor Ford from Advanced Stage Direction; and his subject matter was likely not the most sophisticated thing they would see this year, but this was a good show and he was proud to have created it.

Just the same, he was relieved that Dean Tibideaux would not be among those assessing him today. He knew that she was in attendance. He had spotted a rose silk turban bobbing near the back of the auditorium as she arrived and headed for her customary seat. Carmen rarely took on the task of critiquing student plays but she always attended them, liking to stay abreast of their overall progress and just possibly enjoying their entertainment for its own sake.

“The sets and lighting are good to go and the cast is ready for you Mister Director!”

Kurt turned to see Maggie Banks. The plump, white-haired actress was smiling expectantly, her dark eyes dancing with excitement. A true thespian, there was nothing Maggie found more energizing than a chance to perform for a live audience. As Kurt’s mentor on this project, she had been acting as Assistant Director, offering help and suggestions while the show came together, but knowing enough to back off and let him take the reins to show his instructors what he had learned. Tonight, Kurt would rise or fall based on his own merits and Maggie was just one of the team, ready to go out and give her best for the crowd and for him.

“Thanks, Maggie. For everything. I owe you.”

She stepped up and gave him a warm hug, careful not to smudge either of their makeup. “Happy to help, and you don’t owe anybody anything, Pillsbury. Casting us old farts in your first show and giving us a chance to be on a real stage again more than wipes the slate clean. Now let’s quit dallying and get this show on the road before your professors all give you an Incomplete!”

After a quick show-circle to get everyone pumped up, “The Real Housewives of Albany” began and Kurt soon forgot about his nerves, the judges, and everything else but the show.

The main roles from NYADA were played by Tonya as Victoria Atworthy’s granddaughter, Clarke and LaRonda as Andy “Ted Miller” Collins’ two grandchildren, Luis as Constance’s son, and Kurt himself as Eugenia’s man-servant and companion, with the other young actors filling in smaller roles throughout the show. Tonya and LaRonda played best friends who had discovered a set of old love letters in the attic of the old family manor that led them to the realization that their grandparents had once been in love.

The old couple had parted over hurt feelings and miscommunications after a love letter from Ted had ended up being sent to the wrong sister, Constance, who had also been in love with Ted. What followed was a broken relationship and a decades-long rift. Victoria and Constance had each gone on to unhappily marry other men and have families of their own, but they had eventually come back to their ancestral home after the dissolution of those relationships. Now they shared a house but barely spoke to one another, much to the exasperation of Eugenia who had moved away many years earlier but still remained caught in the middle of her sisters’ drama. All of these characters had been brought back together by the circumstance of Eugenia’s widowhood.

Eugenia, needing something new to occupy her time and deciding that forcing her sisters to communicate would be an excellent project, overheard the grandchildren talking and joined together with them to plead, cajole and finally trick her stubborn family into communicating like mature adults.

Lack of honest communication being a problem that Kurt was more than familiar with, he wrote the songs and dialogues concerning that particular plot point with considerable relish, pouring some of his own past frustrations into words that his characters could speak on his behalf in a way that he had never been able to do in real life.

The overall show was a classic screw-ball comedy full of plot twists, misdirection, reconciliation and plenty of songs. Kurt had been a fan of old Hollywood musical comedies ever since he used to sit in his mother’s favorite chair watching movies with her. He had done his best to recreate the style on stage, but gave it a modern twist. Playing Eugenia’s comically deadpan helper who had moved with her to her sisters’ shared home in Albany, Kurt’s character was in an excellent position to realize that the two gleefully interfering granddaughters shared a more than a friendly interest in one another. As the servant also was an inveterate busy-body, he joined Eugenia in setting up the young couple for romance at the same time they worked on repairing the older generation’s.

“The Real Housewives of Albany” flowed along more smoothly than Kurt had dreamed possible, and the student audience seemed to think it was hilarious. At the end of Act 1, Mary-Ellen’s slo-mo storm out received an even bigger laugh than he had dared hope for once they caught on to the romance brewing between Tonya and LaRonda, giggles and rumblings began to punctuate their interactions. By the time the two actors finally shared a love song and a kiss, their peers were fully invested in cheering on their happy ending.

At the end, Constance, who upon spending time with Ted for the first time in 40 years had come to realize that he was far from the epitome of perfection she had built up in her mind, finally let the dream and the anger go, giving her blessing to his and Victoria’s renewed love. The audience sighed with pleasure to see everything work out right.

By the end of the show, Ted and Victoria were once more a happy couple and their matchmaking granddaughters had declared their feelings as well. Constance and Eugenia made a pact to get out and enjoy what time they had left, realizing that their own lives were far from over. Upon hearing this, Kurt promptly whipped out a brochure for a Senior Singles cruise, on which he just happened to have been offered a job, making the audience laugh heartily as he had been frequently dropping hints that his own dream was to become a lounge singer. (Why no! His stage-hogging, furniture-jumping, smarmy charm each time he felt compelled to ‘audition’ for some unwilling person throughout the show had not been inspired at all by anyone in real life; why would anyone think that?)

As the closing number was sung, a group performance by the entire ensemble, all the characters were poised to live happily – if not quite harmoniously – ever after.

Kurt had known that it wasn’t the most original way to wrap things up, but the hopeless romantic in him had been unable to resist letting love conquer all. In any case, the audience did not seem to object and his cast took their bows happily as they were given an enthusiastic ovation. Kurt blushed when he came forward to take another bow as the show’s creator and heard his dad bellow, “That’s my boy!” loudly enough to draw laughter. He could not quit smiling as he observed Adam and his family whistling and clapping for him. The coven also going wild with applause.

As the curtain closed, the cast whooped and hugged and chattered excitedly, nearly as pumped up as their director. Elliott the cat surreptitiously vanished. If anyone wondered about his tall black-haired ‘owner’ showing up a moment later to congratulate them all, they didn’t say anything.

“You did it!” he cheered, enveloping Kurt in one of his tight, back-thumping, all-encompassing hugs.

Kurt laughed with delight and squeezed back as hard as he could. “We did it!”

Elliott grinned, pulling back to place his hands on Kurt’s shoulders, where they automatically began to knead. While an Animagus and primarily human, Elliott still had a few funny cat characteristics that came to the fore when he could find no other way to express himself. “Well, I suppose I did add a little extra flair to the production,” he joked, “but seriously this was your baby and you got it successfully delivered into the world. I’m really proud of you, man.”

“I hope this doesn’t sound egotistical,” Kurt said with a half-embarrassed laugh, “but so am I. Seriously, everyone was better than I’ve ever seen them tonight. It was exactly like watching the things I pictured in my head months ago come to life. That never happens!”

“Don’t sell yourself short, Kurt. You put a lot into this thing, in spite of a hell of a lot of distractions, and tonight it all paid off.”

“Yeah! And now it’s time to party!” Tonya yelled in Kurt’s ear as she heard the last bit of the comment and hug tackled him from behind, making him jump and squeak with surprise, then laugh at his own reaction. So much for keeping aware of his surroundings and watching his back, as Troy had been trying to instruct him. Then again, in this setting he knew he was among only friends so maybe letting his guard down for a little while was okay.

Turning to smile at her, he said, “You deserve to go have some fun. You, Clarke, LaRonda, and everybody else were great tonight. I can’t thank you guys enough for doing this show with me. Maggie was telling me earlier that the Lexington House has arranged a little cast party for anyone who wants to come. Or if you’d rather wait until Friday, the gang and I are all planning to go out for drinks at Callbacks. Did Adam tell you? He was supposed to send an e-vite. With our wedding day coming up so soon, we decided to have a big combo celebration for this show, Adam’s new job, me getting through my Winter Critique, and our bachelor party.”

Glancing over at the little clump of elderly thespians who had gone so out of their way to make this night special for their young friends, Tonya smiled. “He told us, though he made it sound more like a quiet dinner with friends, and we’re totally coming. In fact, I don’t see why we can’t do both. A little polite soiree with the old folks tonight, then a bash for the ages on the weekend.”

Elliott laughed and said, “I wouldn’t count on cups of tea and a nap, if I were you. Something tells me Maggie and Andy know how to throw a party.”

“Definitely. In fact, you may want to make sure you eat something and drink a lot of water first if you’re going to party with that crowd,” Kurt joked, fingers lifting to rub at his temple in remembrance of the pounding headache he’d had courtesy of the celebration that had followed their performance of “Peter Pan” and subsequent animal adoption event at the Spotlight Diner. The stage veterans had no apparent fear of mixing alcohol with their many medications.

Tonya cackled and raised both thumbs in the air. “I knew I liked those guys. I’ll spread the word.” Lowering her voice a little, she said, “By the way, are we sure Adam will be okay with the big Callbacks shindig?”

The Apples had all been made aware of Adam’s difficulties following his ordeal in the Void and it warmed Kurt’s heart that even in her excitement, Adam’s friend still cared enough to insure his welfare before jumping in.

“He’ll be fine. He’s doing much better and the gang has reserved that big private room in the back of the club for us,” Kurt said, shooting an affectionate smile at Elliott as he added, “It was practically the first thing El and Dani did after finding out we’d gotten engaged.”

Tonya nodded approval to Elliott. “You guys rock. But Kurt, did I hear you right? Aren’t you coming with us tonight?”

“No, I can’t. I already gave my apologies to Maggie. My dad is in town from Ohio and he’s taking me out for a celebratory dinner. Just the two of us, which is something we haven’t done in . . . probably a year? Plus Adam’s dad and grandma came into town to spend a little time with him before things get crazy with the wedding, so we’re both just planning on doing family stuff tonight,” Kurt said. He frowned a little. “Though I wasn’t expecting Dad to bring anyone extra with him, so maybe our plans have changed.”

Elliott grinned. “Don’t worry, they haven’t. I hope you won’t feel offended that seeing ‘Housewives’ wasn’t Seb’s primary motive for visiting, but it just so happens that I have a date tonight!”

“Get it, boy!” Tonya teased, giving him a friendly punch to the shoulder. “Okay, well all of you guys have fun tonight. We’ll catch you later.”

“Night,” they chorused, then Kurt grabbed his friend and practically dragged him to a more private location. “Why didn’t you tell me you and Sebastian had started dating? I thought that you thought that he wasn’t serious about the long distance thing.”

Elliott laughed. “I didn’t and he wasn’t, but when I want to pick up your dad tonight, he was there and we started talking.” He paused, shrugged and said, “Okay, more like flirting, but whatever. There was a definite spark, so I asked if he wanted to see the show and go out for a bite afterward.”

“And here he is!” Kurt said, smirking as he added, “Though by having a bite, do you mean food, or . . .?”

Eyebrows hitching mischievously, Elliott said, “To be determined, but don’t be surprised if you and Adam end up having the loft to yourselves tonight.”

Eyes twinkling, Kurt replied, “Well, us and my dad.”

A dismayed look came over Elliott’s face. “Oh, shoot! I forgot I’m his ride home tonight.”

Kurt waved his concern away. “Don’t worry about it. If you made the date right in front of him, it isn’t like Dad couldn’t read between the lines. Go do . . . whatever it is you’re planning to do, that I will expect full details about once everyone has gone back home.”

He saluted playfully. “Yes, sir! In that case I’d better make sure we have lots of interesting things to report.”

“It’s a sacrifice, but one I’m sure Sebastian will be willing to make,” he teased, giving his friend a nudge as he called goodbye to those remaining, thanked them again for a great show and led them both back out to the auditorium where most of the people had departed, but Adam, Henry, June, Burt and Sebastian remained waiting for them.

Adam immediately swept Kurt into a loving embrace, giving him a hearty kiss. “Darling, you were brilliant tonight. Really, I knew exactly what the play entailed and I still found myself completely caught up in it. The songs worked out wonderfully and I’ve never seen you more radiant.”

“Not bad, Hummel,” Sebastian allowed, a somewhat reluctant smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

“Damn funny show, son,” Burt agreed, his prosaic review accompanied by a firm hug that telegraphed his pride louder than any words. “If you don’t get a good grade for this, I’m coming back to chew those judges out personally.”

Knowing from history that this was no idle threat, Kurt gave his dad’s arm a pat. “No need for that, though I appreciate the sentiment. Those teachers are all known for being tough but fair and I’m sure they’ll give me a well balanced critique.” Seeing Burt frown, he added, “That’s a good thing, Dad. The reason they make us do a big performance for Finals is so the professors can adequately assess how far we’ve come and what areas we still need help with. It isn’t just a pass or fail. I’m scheduled to meet with them on Friday after my Critique with Madame Tibideaux.”

“Two performance reviews in one day,” June commented, giving Kurt a peck on the cheek as he leaned in to give her and Henry each a hug of greeting. “That’s not an easy prospect, especially with Carmen handling the first one.”

“It’s nerve-wracking, but as long as I prepare my performances carefully and keep her previous comments in mind, I’m discovering that her assessments are actually really helpful,” Kurt told her with a smile. “By the third year, you learn to brace yourself and take whatever comes, because you know that she actually does care. She’s harsh at times, but Dean Tibideaux wants us to take her critiques and use them to better ourselves so we’ll be prepared for the real world.”

Adam smiled, draping an arm around his shoulders and kissing Kurt on the side of his head. “You are so much wiser than I was in your place. Even as a senior, I found our dour Dean utterly terrifying. Either way, I do believe you’ll get high marks for your song on Friday.”

“From your lips to Carmen’s ears.”

“Isn’t that supposed to be God’s ears?” Sebastian said, joining the conversation.

Kurt and Adam simultaneously said, “Same thing.”

The families chuckled and Kurt said, “So, Sebastian. Elliott was just telling me you two have a date tonight. Anything special planned?”

Sebastian looked his date up and down with an approving gleam in his sharp green eyes. “Oh, you know. A little of this, a little of that. Elliott is going to show me the local nightlife. We’ll do a little exploring, see the sights.”

“Right,” Kurt said, wondering how such an innocent description still managed to sound so dirty. All in the tone of voice, he supposed. “Well, um . . . have fun.”

“Counting on it,” he replied with a wink that made Elliott blush.

The Crawfords politely pretended not to notice the by-play, but Burt rolled his eyes and said, “Just be sure you guys use protection and be back by noon tomorrow. Don’t forget you have a magic lesson scheduled with Carole during her lunch break.”

Henry snorted, clearly appreciating the other father’s bluntness. “Do you need a lift home tonight, Burt? I can drop you off on my way.”

Amused by his habit of referring to magical transportation like some sort of handy car service, Kurt said, “Or he can just stay the night. What do you think, Dad?”

Burt grinned. “If you’re sure you don’t mind. I’ll have to give Carole a call to let her know.”

“Sounds good. We’ll be off then,” Henry said, waiting just long enough for his son and Kurt to kiss goodbye and wish each other a good time, then he, Adam and June vanished from sight.

Burt looked expectantly at the Familiar couple, waiting for them to do the same, but Sebastian said, “You mind if I have a few minutes with Kurt before we all head out?”

Elliott just nodded. “Sure thing. C’mon, Burt. I’ll save you a phone call. You can tell Carole in person and grab your overnight bag.”

“Sounds good,” he agreed. “Be back in a few minutes, Kurt.”

Kurt waved a hand, pretending not to notice the way he dad took a deep breath and held it, bracing himself for the transportation magic that he still wasn’t entirely comfortable with. His bravery and willingness to do scary and unfamiliar things just to fit in with his son’s new life made Kurt’s heart swell with love and pride.

“Your dad is pretty cool,” Sebastian commented when they were gone, as if he had read Kurt’s mind. “I thought he was too strict when we first met, and there are times when he’s painfully Standard, but Burt really cares about people. Even me and he doesn’t even like me all that much. He’s like a big guard dog with Sam.”

Kurt was not surprised to hear that. His father had really liked Sam when the homeless teenager had spent a few months living under his roof during Kurt and Finn’s senior year at McKinley. Carole had tried to urge Sam to stay after they graduated, but he had felt awkward living off their charity without their sons being present as a buffer. Instead, he went home to see his parents for the summer, wanting to spend time with them before the family relocated to Nevada on the heels of a good job offer his dad had received, then came back in time for school. Burt and Carole had allowed him to continue using their address for mail, as a way to assure him that he could always come back if things got tough, worried that he’d end up on the streets again, but Sam had seemed quite happy floating among his “Bros” on the football team and in glee club for the final few months of his time in Lima.

It had not been the steadiest existence and Kurt had also worried about his old classmate, but he had not really understood just how easily Sam adapted to life as a sofa cushion until he came to New York with Blaine and took over Kurt’s own couch for several months.

“Dad feels like he failed Finn and then me after allowing Blaine to come between us, so having Sam come back hurt has raised his protective instincts.”

“Makes sense,” Sebastian said. “Burt can’t even see the full damage, but it’s pretty hard to miss that Sam is like a pretty blowup doll with a hole punctured in it.”

Shooting him a glare over his choice of simile, Kurt took a seat in one of the empty audience chairs and asked, “Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?”

Sebastian plunked down in another chair a few seats over, draping both long legs over the arm rest and somehow looking as comfortable as if it were a velvet covered chaise lounge. “That and to deliver the progress report I promised on Blaine.”

Kurt braced himself. “How bad is it? Have you had a chance to assess how much damage he’s done to Dave Karofsky since they’ve been dating?”

To Kurt’s annoyance, Sebastian's eyes lit up with wicked mirth as he said, “Oh my god, you should see them! They’d be hilarious if they weren’t so fucking pathetic. I’ll say one thing for you, Hummel. You know how to leave a lasting impression. You’ve got the Great Russian Baby Bear passing up a whole bar-full of willing Daddy Bears to date your bloated wood tick of an ex. And I can’t say for sure, but I gotta assume Blaine has been pouring on the influential charm to keep him, because I mean talk about dating beneath you. Literally! Do you suppose Dave had to buy a booster seat for his pickup truck so that Blaine could see out the window?”

“Sebastian,” Kurt said in a warning tone that was completely ignored as his former rival continued on in vindictively delighted fashion.

“And then of course he’s following Dildo Davy all over town like a tiny argyle-sweatered shadow. Either Dave’s biceps ain’t the only oversized thing about him, or he’s not quite as easy to manipulate as you were and it’s driving Blainers even more bonkers than usual. Kind of ironic, your ex bully-turned-friend hooking up with your ex lover-turned-bully.”

Kurt glared at him. “It’s not like that wasn’t intentional. I’m sure Blaine views it as poetic justice that after I dumped him, he found an opportunity to seduce the same guy who once terrorized me into going to Dalton and meeting him in the first place. Blaine also knows that any animosity on my part was abandoned years ago after Dave tried to kill himself. I couldn’t hate him anymore after I went to visit him at Lima General and found out that his schoolmates, his friends, and even his own mother had refused to support him once they found out he was gay. Blaine knows that too, and it absolutely infuriates me that he would go after David now that he’s finally made peace with himself and started to move forward.”

Sebastian shifted, uncomfortable at the reminder of that time and his own part in it. “Okay, so maybe it isn’t so funny. Especially since I did confirm that Blaine is using Karofsky as a power dump the same way he did Sam. That poor guy is a mess, but so far Karofsky seems to be holding up okay under the strain. Might only be because they’re new, though. Blaine had a couple of years to work on Sam. Carole told Sam about us, by the way. She decided he’d have to know about witches if the two of us were going to be practicing magic right under his nose every day. He actually took it surprisingly well. Or maybe he just forgot five minutes after she told him. That seems to happen a lot. In any case, we had to turn around and pretty much exile him from the house every time we do magic anyway.”

Confused, Kurt said, “Why?”

The Familiar’s eyes flashed and his fingers constricted, allowing his nails to point and flex into claws and display the dismay he felt as he revealed, “After being a toxic waste bin for so long, he’s developed a high sensitivity to magic. It doesn’t seem to harm him if someone is using passive spells, like me wearing my human form, or Carole doing her Empathic Sensitivity exercises, but do any kind of active magic around him and the kid curls in on himself and clutches his head like his brain’s about to explode. Frankly, I don’t know what do about that. I’ve never seen anything like it before.”

“Poor Sam,” Kurt said, his voice sad. “Before all this started, I never would have imagined someone could actually be poisoned by magic. What are we going to do about him? Even if we solved the Blaine problem tomorrow, I’m guessing that wouldn’t just snap Sam back to his old self. From what you say, it’s like his essence is slowly burning out.”

Sebastian looked suddenly edgy and a little nervous, sitting up and rubbing his hands together. “Yeah, exactly. I sort of have an idea about how we might fan those sparks back into a flame again. It’s why I wanted to talk to you alone. See, I’m not sure it’s a good idea, and I’m absolutely convinced that you and Adam are both going to hate it, but I think it might be worth a try. It’s just that it will involve . . .”

“What?” Kurt demanded, a feeling of dread draining away the last of his play-related high.

He rubbed the back of his neck, looking more nervous than Kurt had ever seen the annoyingly confident Sebastian look before. “Uh, well . . . we’d need to hijack an hour or two of your wedding day so that you can go back to the In-Between for a look around.”

“What?” Kurt repeated, this time the word filled with shock.

“Repeatedly having stolen power pushed through his system like he was a magical drug mule has left Sam little more than an empty shell, right? He’s been conditioned to need the influence that Blaine was feeding him, but now it’s gone and he’s not getting it back, so he’s in massive withdrawal. Which wasn’t his fault, but two months of cold turkey doesn’t seem to have helped him at all, so I’m thinking that maybe we toss him a life raft in the form of another soul to share all that empty space with. Preferably a soul that’s equally in need of a body. Get it?”

Confused, Kurt said, “Not . . . really. Are you saying that you, what . . . want me to see if there are any other souls like Adam’s in the Void? But Sebastian, that’s so random! What makes you think there’s anybody out there? And even if there is, why should they want to follow me back home and put them in a stranger’s body? Assuming Sam would even want someone sharing his body, because that sounds even worse than what Blaine was doing! And further assuming that the rest of us have some way of getting this hypothetical lost soul into an already occupied body. I only found Adam because we had shared a deep personal connection. I loved him and he loved me, so I was able to spell-sing a kind of homing beacon for him. Nobody else, assuming there even is anybody else, would be able to respond to my call the same way.”

Sebastian’s previous jocularity had faded entirely. Looking Kurt straight in the eyes, he said, “Your brother might.”

For a moment, Kurt felt like the world had tilted upside down. A rushing sound filled his ears and his vision became blurry. “Finn?” he said in a whisper. “You mean, you think he’s . . . out there? But he isn’t . . . I mean, he just had a heart attack. Right?”

“Look, I’m not sure okay?” Sebastian admitted. “That’s why I want you to do the search on your wedding day. You’ll have your full coven present, plus me and your family and all the inherent power in a High Magic Day. Plus the kicker of the coven ceremony. Your magic is never likely to be as pure and strong any other day. You’ve already been to the Void, as you call it, and with a little boost from the presence of a triad of Familiars, I don’t think you’ll have any problem getting back into it. You and the big guy shared a pretty significant bond of your own, I think, so if anyone can fetch Finn’s soul back, it’s you.”

Still feeling a little faint, Kurt said, “But . . . Sebastian, what makes you think Finn’s spirit or soul or whatever, is out there waiting to be found?”

His lips pursed with disapproval. “You remember what I told you about how Blaine thought he’d killed Adam with his magic?”

Kurt nodded, holding his breath against the sudden pain squeezing his heart.

“Well what if it was because he’d already had a little practice? He never actually admitted anything to me, but it was right after Finn died that Blaine started getting really paranoid about following your every move. And you also know that Finn disapproved of Blaine ambushing you into an engagement. And that he died from that very sudden and unexplained heart attack just a week or two after that happened.”

He paused, waiting for Kurt to put the pieces together. And he did, but he shied away from a conclusion that was too horrible to consider. “No,” he said hollowly. “You can’t mean that Finn . . . that Blaine . . . It can’t be, Sebastian! Not even Blaine would have sunk so low as to . . . to murder my brother. Just for protesting our engagement? That’s insane!”

“Yes,” he agreed, no trace of humor left in his face. “It is, though it’s equally possible that he just panicked and took a shot at Finn that he had no way to defend. I think I told you before that there are pocket dimensions in the In-Between. Places cats use to slip in and out of Space/Time without being seen and power confluences that older covens use to draw power from. Adam got trapped in one of those pockets, so it’s possible that Finn did too. Carole says that the last time she spoke with her son, he was planning to ask Blaine to break off the engagement and leave you alone. From what little I remember of the guy, he was probably mad enough, and frankly stupid enough, to lose his temper and try to start a fight.”

“Finn had a bad habit of throwing furniture and occasional fists when he was angry,” Kurt agreed quietly. “He became our school’s star quarterback when he was only a sophomore. That also involves throwing things really hard. If Carole’s theory about magical powers manifesting in the direction of our personalities is accurate, then I’m guessing Finn’s major Talent was probably Telekinesis.”

“Right. So, imagine that Finn is feeling righteously angry and protective, possibly not even realizing that he had magic. He confronts Blaine, loses his cool and suddenly inanimate objects start to shake, rattle and roll. He gets scared and the magic gets even stronger. What does Blaine do in that scenario?”

Kurt gulped. “He freaks out, pulls up whatever stolen magic he’s stored and flings it at Finn. Just like he later did to Adam, only Finn can’t transform or shield, so he takes the full impact and,” he swallowed hard, “gets literally scared to death. Killed instantly.”

Displaying an unusual empathy, Sebastian reached over and squeezed Kurt’s clenched hands, correcting, “His body is killed instantly. And Blaine takes advantage of everyone’s assumption that Finn had a heart defect that caused it to give out at only nineteen years old. Or who knows, maybe he convinced himself that that’s what really happened, at least until it happened again with Adam. I’m not sure any more if that was a complete accident like you all assumed, or if he goaded Adam because he subconsciously wanted to find out if he could get away with murder for a second time. Either way, there has to be some reason he was suddenly dying to spill his guts to me about thinking he’d murdered your boyfriend.”

“You told Tubbington when that happened, didn’t you?” Kurt suddenly realized. “That’s why he was suddenly so impatient for my power to manifest.”

“It wasn’t exactly my business, but I felt that if I didn’t say anything then I was basically making myself Blaine’s accomplice and I was not down for that shit,” Sebastian agreed with a grimace. “Besides, we’re talking murder by magic. Who else was going to believe me? I had no idea Blaine might have offed another guy until I met Carole, then suddenly it all just seemed a little too coincidental.”

Kurt covered his eyes, needing a moment of privacy to absorb this new information. Exactly how many people had Blaine Anderson hurt, or worse, in his creepy obsession with controlling Kurt? It wasn’t actually his fault, but God did it feel like it was! This was so much worse than anything he had previously imagined during the endless ‘what if’s’ and questions about his brother’s sudden death.

“So with Finn, Blaine attends the funeral, displays what might have actually been genuine sorrow, then waits for somebody to question him about the last time he spoke with Finn. When that never happens, he just moves on with his life. Meanwhile, if we’re not imagining the world’s craziest conspiracy theory, Finn is adrift. Either trapped in a pocket of space-time, or essentially a ghost.”

“Right,” Sebastian agreed.

“Do you really think he’s out there somewhere? Just lost?” Kurt said, lowering his hand and looking at him with fearful eyes.

He nodded. “Carole has told me that she sensed his presence around her more than once, like at the airport when she saw Blaine and suddenly felt a mixture of terror and rage. Burt has said he felt Finn’s presence around the house. They both just assume it was a sentimental feeling, based on how much they miss him, but what if it wasn’t?”

Kurt licked his lips, fighting against a small swelling of hope. “I’ve experienced that too. Like, I’ll be watching a show on TV and suddenly I can almost hear Finn making commentary on what I’m watching. And Rachel used to swear that she could feel him watching over her sometimes. But . . . doesn’t everyone do that when they’re grieving?”

“Well, maybe,” he admitted. “That’s not really my field of expertise, but either way, isn’t it worth finding out? If Finn is a sort of ghost, maybe you can give him another chance and help Sam out at the same time. They were pretty close friends, right? Had a lot of the same interests?”

“Tons,” Kurt agreed, remembering his two friends babbling over football games, cheerleaders, video games, rock music, action movies, and a host of other things that Kurt himself had had little interest in. If Sebastian was right, putting the two lost souls together just might give both young men an anchor to hold them in place while they healed from the horrific damage Blaine had caused. Then Kurt shook his head, “But, supposing for a minute that you’re actually right about all this, how the hell am I supposed to plant a soul inside a body?”

“No idea, but I’m sure you’ll figure something out by the time you need to do it,” he said, waving away the trivial consideration of how such a miracle might be accomplished. Clearly he felt that by presenting his theory and placing the problem in Kurt’s capable hands, his work here was done.

Any argument Kurt might have offered was cut off by the sudden return of his dad and Elliott. Burt looked a little green around the gills from the abrupt change of locations from his home, to Kurt’s loft, and back to the auditorium and he took a heavy seat next to his son, clutching the unmoving armrest gratefully.

“Hell of a way to travel, but I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it,” he grunted. Glancing at the two young men and noting the tension between them, he frowned, “You two get whatever you needed to straightened out?” he asked, eyes darting between Kurt’s tight features and Sebastian’s relaxed ones with suspicion.

Certain that Sebastian had not dropped his bombshell on Burt or Carole, Kurt took a steadying breath and manufactured a smile. “All done. You ready for our one on one dinner?”

Burt shot his half-feline tenant one last warning glare before allowing himself to be distracted by the pleasant reminder. “All set. You got anyplace in mind? On me, wherever you want.”

Although Kurt felt sure that he would not be getting a wink of sleep tonight, between mentally rehashing the play for flaws and discussing Sebastian’s disturbing theory with Adam, Kurt forced himself to put his churning thoughts away for the moment. While part of him wanted to rush out and try to verify Finn’s presence and rescue him right this moment, he knew Sebastian was right. It would be a difficult task and one that would require as much power and careful planning as he could give it.

For tonight, he would just enjoy the rare company of his father. It would be hard to keep his mind off of Finn and Sam, but he was not willing to share his recent conversation until he’d had a chance to think it all over. The stress it might cause Burt’s heart to be told that his stepson could, in theory, be living in a phantom state and basically haunting them all was not worth the risk. Nor was potentially having Carole find out and build up her hopes, only to have the barely healed mother’s heart broken again for no reason.

Unless and until he had a way to verify the theory and do something about it if it was indeed true, Kurt would do what he did best and hold this secret close.

As he lightly discussed a few options for dinner with his father, Kurt’s blue eyes flicked to meet Sebastian’s green ones. A flash of understanding passed between them and the other young man gave him a slight nod. Sebastian would not say anything either.

Not quite as oblivious as Burt, Elliott raised an eyebrow as he caught the exchange. Kurt subtly shook his head in reply and Elliott nodded, but looked at Sebastian and took a casual step closer to Kurt.

Kurt smiled, recognizing that his best friend had sent a message about whose side he would choose if trouble was brewing between the two of them. To his surprise, rather than seeming put out by this, Sebastian actually looked like the silent declaration had given him a new respect for Elliott.

“All this talk about dinner reminds me that we never set a location for our own,” Sebastian said, standing and moving a bit closer to his date. “I know a great little sushi joint just a few blocks from your apartment.”

“How do you know where his apartment is?” Kurt said, distracted by the comment.

“He told me. Besides, this is hardly my first time in New York. Seriously, do you really think I never left the confines of Dullsville, Ohio? Give me a little credit.” Sebastian rolled his eyes.

Laughing a little, Kurt held up his hands in peace. “No offense intended. You two go have your raw fish, while my dad and I go find some char-broiled meat.” He held up a warning finger toward his suddenly beaming father. “But only small ones and we will be having a pair of nice green salads to go with them. Too much cholesterol and saturated fat still isn’t healthy for you. And we’ll walk to the restaurant.”

Burt just smirked, not about to look a gift horse in the mouth. “Whatever you say, son. I don’t mind taking a walk, especially since that big snow is all gone. Let’s just get out of here before you change your mind.”

Calming his over-protective instinct, raised by the unexpected reminder of the brother he had not been able to protect, Kurt smiled and hooked his elbow through Burt’s. “I won’t. I was too nervous to eat much earlier and now I’m hungry as a bear.”

As the Familiars said goodnight and winked out of sight, the two Hummels headed toward the back of the auditorium. Kurt had a lot to occupy his thoughts but he paused when they reached the door, taking one last long look back at the empty stage where his very first show had just been successfully performed, allowing himself to recapture that thrill for a moment.

Seeming to understand, Burt hugged him around the shoulders. “Have I told you yet how proud I am of you? Cause I am. To think that all that up there tonight was created by my little boy.” He shook his head. “You’ve come a hell of a long way from the kid who used to put on the coat and clip-on from my wedding suit and perform Disney songs for your mom and me.”

Kurt laughed, remembering those living room productions for an indulgent captive audience. “Thanks for still being in the front row for this one.”

“Wouldn’t have missed it for the world, kid,” Burt said sincerely. “Wouldn’t have missed it for the world.”

THE END

CHAPTER ELEVEN - NEW BEGINNINGS

Duns House, Berwickshire

Harper had drawn a bath, which was a rare treat, and Abby was relaxing in it, steam rising from the water and her skin into the cold air of the room. The bath was close to the fire but there was still a chill in the air. November had arrived, and with it cold mornings, crisp days and long, dark nights. Since their conversation in the garden two days ago, Harper had fussed over Abby non-stop, plying her with herbal potions, massaging soothing oils into her skin, making sure the cook fed her as much fresh food as was available. It was all designed to lift Abby’s mood, and it was working, in its own way. She had resigned herself to her fate, realised that worrying herself sick over it would not change anything, and with that acceptance had come a strange contentment. What would be, would be.

Harper poured more hot water into the bath, and Abby laid back, resting her head against the wooden side of the tub, and closed her eyes. She listened to the girl’s quiet breaths as she stirred the water, mixing the hot with the cool.

“Mistress?”

“Hmmm?”

“We have had word from Edinburgh.”

Abby opened her eyes, looked at Harper.

“Oh yes?”

“Aye. The Master is coming home the day after tomorrow.”

Abby sat up, her heart beating faster, her skin growing cold. “What exactly have you heard?”

“Just that. The cook got word to expect him, that is all.”

“Nothing more?”

“No. Try not to worry. If he knew anything, he would not delay.”

That thought was not as comforting to Abby as Harper probably intended it to be. Alasdair was coming home, and even if he didn’t know about Kane, Abby was still faced with the prospect of having to look at him, talk to him, breathe the same air as him, knowing what he had done. What if he wanted to lay with her? How could she refuse? She felt sick again, bile rising in her throat and she swallowed it down. She didn’t want Harper to see her like this again; the girl knew enough as it was.

“I should like to get out now, Harper.”

Harper held out her hand and Abby took it, stepping out of the tub onto the cold wooden floor. Harper picked up a blanket, and wrapped Abby in it.

“I will fetch your nightdress.”

Abby nodded, pulling the blanket more tightly around her as Harper returned with the simple white slip Abby liked to sleep in. She sat passively as the maid dried her and dressed her, too caught up in thoughts of what would happen in the next few days to be of help to the girl.

“Are you alright, Mistress? Do you need anything else?”

“Yes. Thank you, Harper. I’ll be fine.”

“Good night, Mistress.”

The maid shut the door behind her as she left and Abby went to sit at her dressing table. She undid her braid, let her hair fall loose. She was so absorbed in brushing it, she didn’t sense that she wasn’t alone in the room until a hand touched her shoulder. She jumped up out of her seat and spun around. Kane was standing in front of her as large as life. Abby was stunned. It felt as though time stood still; her heart stopped mid-beat, breath mid-rise, brain mid-thought. Only her sight remained working, taking in the shape of him, his beard scruffier than ever, his hair stuck out in every direction. His face was dirty and sweat-streaked and he had a faded bruise on his cheek. He seemed thinner than when she had last seen him, his kilt hanging low off his hips, his shirt tucked in, emphasising his slim frame. He was as handsome as ever, though, brown eyes still smiling, even though his brow was furrowed, his lips thin and pursed.

“Kane?”

“Aye, it is me.”

“I don’t understand. What are you doing here? Someone will see you.” She looked around, fearful, as though guards would suddenly appear out of the gloom as well.

“No one is near, Abby. Have no fear.”

“How did you get in here? No, don’t tell me. Your spies helped you.” She couldn’t keep the bitterness out of her voice.

“Don’t be like that, Abby. I had to see thee. There was no other way.”

“I have no wish to see you.” Now that the longed-for moment was here, when he was standing before her, worry and fear etched on his face, she felt only anger, and disappointment. Whatever he wanted to say, it was too late. She was done with him.

Kane took a step closer and Abby moved backwards but bumped into her dresser. She could not get any further away from him.

“Ye did not give me a chance to explain, when last we met.”

“What is there to explain? You used me. You seduced me to get revenge on my husband, and I fell for it. I was so stupid.” Tears sprung to her eyes. She didn’t want Kane to see them, but they spilled down her cheeks, betraying her to him.

He put his hand out towards her. She didn’t think he would dare to touch her, but he did. His thumb brushed a tear away, then he slipped his hand round the back of her head and pulled her in towards him until her face was buried in his chest. Both his arms wrapped around her and there was nothing else she could do except cry into his shirt, silently, unwilling to let him hear the depth of her pain.

He kissed the top of her head. “Abby. Ye were never my revenge. I wanted ye from the moment I saw thee, when ye told me to mind my own business. Yer husband had nothing to do with it.”

She pulled away from him so that she could look up at him, look into his eyes. They were full of concern.

“You knew who he was, though. Knew what he had done.”

“Aye. But that was not the motive behind the raid. It was part of our plan. I was told to do it. I won’t deny I took some satisfaction from humiliating him.”

“And I was not part of the plan?”

“I didn’t know ye would be there. But ye were, and ye captivated me.”

Abby wanted to believe him so badly. He seemed so sincere, his eyes pleading for her understanding, her belief, her trust, but she had given that too easily before.

“You do not mean to betray me?”

Kane’s smile was painful, sad.

“Abby. Ye are all I’ve ever longed for.”

Abby couldn’t speak; his words ran through her body like a wildfire, setting her aflame.

Kane brushed strands of her hair away from her face, where they were sticking to the tracks of her tears.

“Please believe me, Abby.”

“Why didn’t you come? I wanted to believe you. Deep in my heart I felt it, but you didn’t come.”

“I wanted to, but I was sent away, to France.”

“France? Why?”

“As punishment. When ye left, I knew I couldn’t catch thee, couldn’t risk going to Arkholm, so I went back to camp. I was so angry, Abby. Not with thee, with Murphy. I beat him up and was sent to France because of it. Raven was with me. We returned today, and I rode straight here from Carlisle.”

Abby felt weak, her legs no longer capable of supporting her. She sank into her chair by the dressing table. She couldn’t look at Kane. Harper had been right, there had been a reason. She felt so many emotions at once it was overwhelming. Kane knelt on the floor in front of her, took her hands in his.

“Abby. I have asked ye to trust me before, and ye did. I know that trust is gone now, and I don’t blame thee. Of all the people involved in this mess, ye are the only one who is pure and true. Will ye at least hear me out, let me tell the whole story?”

Abby nodded, and he kissed her hand, before getting up to pull two chairs next to each other, in front of the fire. He led her to one, and then put a couple of logs on the fire before settling into the other. He stared at the flames for a while, and Abby waited, letting him come to the tale in his own way, his own time.

“I told ye before that my father did business with the Griffin family. At first it was with Jacob, but when Alasdair took over, my father didn’t like him, and left any dealings to James, my brother. I wasn’t involved with any of it, never met Jacob nor Alasdair. I was too busy enjoying myself as ye know.”

He glanced at her, and she nodded, to show she was listening, that she understood.

“James held a gathering at our house, about six years ago now, to celebrate a deal he had made with Alasdair, something he said was going to make our family wealthy. I didn’t pay attention to it at the time. I turned up to the gathering, of course, any excuse for a party, to meet women, and I ended up having a row with my father about my ways. He couldn’t understand why I didn’t have a wife by then, children.”

“Why didn’t you? If you don’t mind me asking.”

“No, it is fine. Ye can ask anything ye want. I want ye to.” He ran his fingers through his hair. “I did want those things, well a wife at least. I just never met the right woman. All the girls when I was young seemed frivolous, and then when I was older they were all married women who only wanted me for one thing. They didn’t want to talk, didn’t make me laugh. James had no choice, he had to marry as eldest son, but I had more freedom, and I used it.”

Abby thought back to what he had said earlier. “Ye are all I’ve ever longed for.” A shiver ran through her. Was she the right woman for him? Out of all the women he’d met? She found that hard to believe. He must have met more interesting people than her.

Kane was still talking and she dragged her attention back to him. “The night of the gathering, after the row with my father I went to look for Alice, my brother’s wife. She was the only one I liked in my family and she tolerated me.” Kane gave a small laugh, looked at Abby, and then back to the fire again. “I found her in her bedchamber. She was crying and when I went to her I saw there was blood on her skirts, on the covers. I didn’t know what it was, what had caused it.”

Abby let out a cry as she pictured the scene. Kane turned to her, took her hands.

“Oh, I’m sorry, Abby. ‘Tis painful, I know. I can stop if ye like.”

Abby shook her head. “No. You must go on. I want to know the truth. I have to know it.”

Kane continued, but he didn’t let go of her hands. He sat facing her, looking into her eyes as he spoke.

“She didn’t want to talk at first, but I managed to coax her into telling me. She said Lord Griffin had attacked her, forced himself on her, in a bad way, a painful way.” He squeezed Abby’s hands. Tears were sliding down both their faces. “I wanted to find him, kill him, but she begged me not to. I wasn’t going to listen, like I didn’t with thee when I saw yer scars, but she pleaded with me. She said Lord Griffin had threatened to kill her if she accused him, told her that James was involved in a deal to defraud the King and Alasdair knew all about it. He would ruin our family if she named him as her attacker. I didn’t know what to think, didn’t have time to consider my options because just then James and my father came in, and saw me sitting with her. I jumped up out of shock and they looked me up and down, horror on their faces and I saw I was covered in her blood. Alice was hysterical by now. James said, “what have you done?” and I looked at Alice and she looked at me, pleading with her eyes for me not to tell. I didn’t speak, couldn’t speak, and everyone took that as a sign of guilt. I didn’t want anyone else to be falsely accused, so I confessed to it. Nobody wanted what had happened to become common knowledge so they kept it quiet but clearly, I couldn’t stay in the family home and so my father banished me. That is the truth of it all.”

He took a deep breath when he finished, because he had spoken in a rush, all the words tumbling out like a waterfall.

Abby was stunned. She had known the bare bones of the tale from what Murphy had told her, but hearing it from Kane, his voice cracking with raw emotion as though he were living that night again, she finally knew the depth of the betrayal, and it was not Kane’s, it was Alasdair’s. Kane was truly innocent, as he had told her. He had made a great sacrifice, allowing his family to despise him, banish him, when it was all to save them, and they would never know it. He had told her that he had a good reason and she had trusted that, as he asked, until she let Murphy into her head, allowed him to poison her mind. Why had she done that? Why had she believed him over Kane when the only thing Kane had ever done was care for her, protect her.

“I am sorry I didn’t tell thee sooner, Abby.”

She reached across, put her hands on his head, brought him towards her so that their foreheads were touching. “How could you tell me that my husband was responsible for something as terrible as that? I am sorry I didn’t believe you. I’m sorry for everything.” She kissed his head. He took her hands in his, brought them to his lips.

“I don’t blame thee. It is natural to think that I would want revenge. I do, but not through thee. Ye are the only good thing to come out of this.”

“I know, I know. I always knew. It was just that I convinced myself, and when you didn’t come, I thought I was proved right.”

“Oh, Abby. What fools we have been.”

“Yes. We have.”

He kissed her, softly at first, and then with more passion, his fingers tangling in her hair, lips sucking on hers, hands pressing her to him.

“I’ve missed thee so,” he said, when they broke apart.

“And I have missed you.” She took his hand. “Come and lie down, rest with me.”

“I would, Abby, but I am filthy.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“It does. What will yer maid think in the morning?”

“Well, there is water in the bath, although it will be cold by now.”

“I don’t mind the cold.”

“Then let me help you.”

Kane slipped off his boots and stood still as Abby untucked his shirt from his kilt, holding his arms up as she pulled it over his head. She went to unfasten his kilt, fumbling with the straps and buckles. Just when she thought she had the kilt undone there was another strap on the inside. She laughed. “I thought my dress was complicated.”

“It has to be strong, Abby. We don’t want it falling down at gatherings with nice old ladies around.”

“That would never do.”

“No.”

“Imagine their shock.”

“Their husbands would be jealous.”

“Do you think so?”

“Aye, don’t thee?”

The kilt at last came undone and she unwrapped the material from around him. He was a magnificent man, tall and lean, broad chest, slim hips, a line of dark hairs on his toned belly leading her eye down to his cock, which was full already, long and heavy.

Abby sighed. “Perhaps.” She was tempted to reach out and touch it, as he clearly wanted her to do, but if she did that there would be no going back and he was truly filthy from head to toe.

“I don’t think they would be jealous of the way you smell, though. Get in the bath.”

Kane stepped into the tub and slid beneath the water. He sighed. “It is cool, but wonderful.” He ducked his head under, washing the dirt from his face, rubbing his hair in the water to wet it thoroughly. When he surfaced, Abby had a cloth and soap ready. She held them out to Kane. “No. I’d like thee to do it,” he said.

He lay back against the tub and closed his eyes as Abby lifted his arm out of the water, ran the soapy cloth over it. The scar from the sword wound he got in Newcastle was long, stretching diagonally across his forearm from elbow to wrist. It had healed smoothly, a jagged purple line the only reminder now. Her touch was light as she cleaned it.

“It doesn’t hurt ye know,” Kane murmured.

“It has healed well.”

“Aye, thanks to thee. The medic said ye did a wonderful job.”

Abby beamed, pleased that she had helped him.

“I wonder where we’d be, if you hadn’t turned up that day?”

“We would still have found each other.”

“Yes.”

She leaned in further, washed his other arm. His breath was warm on the side of her face, tickling her. His lips were so close she wondered if he would kiss her there, but his eyes remained shut and he didn’t move. She sat back and washed his chest, then ran the cloth lower, over his stomach, to his groin. He was still hard, the cold water doing nothing to dampen his desire. She stroked the length of him with the cloth, rubbing it lightly up and down his cock, and Kane let out a shuddering sigh.

“Oh. Mmmm.”

“You like that?”

“Aye. ’Tis a pity you cannae fit in here with me.”

Abby smiled, moving down to the bottom of the tub to wash his legs. Kane sat up, reached down to stay her hand.

“I think I’m clean enough now. Come here.”

She moved back to the head of the tub and he brought her head towards his for a kiss. His hand strayed to her breast, squeezing it through the thin material of her slip. Desire for him was coursing through Abby.

“I think you should get out now,” she said.

“Aye, I think I should.” He stepped out of the tub, water dripping from his body onto the wooden floor, pooling at his feet. Abby wrapped the blanket round him, rubbed most of the moisture from his skin. He led her to the bed, and they climbed on top. Kane tried to lay her on her back but Abby flipped them over so it was he who was on his back and she who was straddling his thighs. She pulled her nightdress over her head, enjoying the sight of Kane’s eyes roaming over her body, his cock twitching as she stretched up, before discarding the slip on the floor

“You still need to rest,” she said. “Let me do the work.”

He was thinner than last time she had seen him naked like this, and she could see his heart beating beneath his chest. She kissed it, feeling the thrum of it under her lips. His nipples were standing out hard, from the cold, or desire she didn’t know which, and she bent her head to suck each one in turn, pinching them as he did to her, increasing the pressure until he was moaning. She went lower, kissing her way down the trail of dark hairs to where his cock was lying hard and long against his belly. She had never touched this part of him with her lips before, wasn’t sure if that was something people did, but he had kissed her sex, and it had been wonderful. She pressed her lips to his cock and it sprang up. Kane jumped.

“Oh, Abby.”

“Is this alright?”

“Aye. Do it again.”

So she trailed her lips down his cock, planting small kisses, letting her tongue slip out to lick him, taste him.

Kane groaned. “Oh, that is good, so good.”

Remembering what he had done to her, she gave one long lick of him, from bottom to top, and he gripped the covers, moaning. There was wetness spilling out of a slit in the head of his cock and she tasted it, warm and salty. She held him firmly at the base with one hand, and sucked at the head, letting it slide in and out of her mouth, and was rewarded with the longest groan she had ever heard coming from Kane.

“Abby! My love, my love! Ye have to stop before it is too late. I want to be inside thee.”

She let his cock fall from her mouth so she could answer him.

“We have all night.”

“Then use yer hand to finish me, as I showed thee. Please, I am close.”

She made a fist and massaged his cock with it, up and down the length. He thrust into her hand, matching her rhythm, and as his breaths grew faster and shorter she increased her speed, until he let out a guttural moan that she feared would wake the whole house, and his essence spurted out over her hand, warm and sticky. Kane lay back with his hands above his head, panting. Abby picked up the cloth and wiped them both clean with it.

She lay on the bed next to him, her head on his chest. He reached down to stroke her hair.

“Was that good?” She asked.

“It was. I have never… Abby, no one has ever done that to me before. No one has ever taken me in their mouth.”

Abby was surprised. “No one? None of the women you have been with?”

She could hear the ruffle of his hair against the pillow as Kane shook his head. “No. They were not interested in my pleasure, only their own.”

“Perhaps it is not something people do?”

Kane laughed. “Oh, I suspect there is nothing we can do that people haven’t done. We are not the first to be like this with each other, even if it feels that way.”

“You are the first for me.”

“And thee for me.” He hugged her to him. “Can I ask thee something?”

“Yes, of course.”

“What was it like? What did I taste like?”

Abby thought for a moment, unsure how to put such a thing into words. It was more than just how he tasted, it was how he smelled, the heaviness of him filling her mouth, the smoothness of the head, the thick veins, rough against her tongue. She could not say those things aloud to him.

“Ye taste like the earth when the sea rushes in over the plains. Salt-sprayed.”

“We are the same, then.”

“Similar, yes,” replied Abby, remembering the way she had tasted on his lips.

“Maybe I should familiarise myself, so I don’t forget.”

He slipped out from beneath her arm and she rolled onto her back, letting her legs fall open so he could position himself between them. How quickly she got over her fears when she was with this man. Kane lifted her legs up so they rested on his shoulders, and used his thumbs to spread her lips apart before putting his mouth on her, tasting every part of her with his tongue. He slipped a finger in her, and then another, stroking her on the inside and licking her on the outside and Abby had to swallow a cry it was so good. She lay back, her arm across her mouth to stop her from groaning too loud, and thought of nothing but Marcus and what he was doing to her. When she came, it was a release, not just of pleasure, but of all the tension that had built up within her over the last sevenday. She wanted to weep with the relief, but she held it back. There had been enough tears that night.

Kane crawled back up the bed to lie next to her and she turned so that she was on her side, facing him. His smile was soft, eyes dark, one side of his mouth lifted slightly as though he wasn’t certain of something. She caressed his cheek.

“What is the matter?”

“Nothing.”

“There is something, Marcus. No more secrets, no more half-truths. Tell me.”

“I don’t want to spoil this moment.”

“Oh, now you are making me fearful.”

He took her hand, held it against his face. “I do not mean to.”

“Then just say it. Please, Marcus.”

He sighed. “Why were ye so quick to believe that I was false with thee? What did I do to make ye think I was capable of that? I don’t blame thee, I just don’t understand it.”

“Oh.” Abby had expected this question to arise at some point, because she was asking it of herself all the time, but it still came as a shock. She didn’t want to answer, because it meant admitting things to him she did not want to admit to herself, but she had just told him not to keep secrets.

“Ye do not have to answer.”

“No. I do. I don’t know for certain, but I have always wondered why you wanted me, out of all the women you could have. I thought perhaps you had seen more in me than there is, and one day you would find out that I was a fraud. When Murphy said I was your revenge it made sense, everything seemed to fall into place, at the time at least.”

“Oh, Abby. Do ye remember when we first met?”

“Of course.”

“I saw thee sitting in yer carriage, in that pretty blue dress, and ye were a feast for the eyes, I’ll admit that, but there was more. Ye said it was none of my business whether ye looked at yerself, and I knew I was supposed to threaten thee and steal from thee but all I wanted to do was laugh. Then in the rushes, I was already admiring of yer defiance, and ye went and dirtied my knees and said what ye said and I think I was yers from that moment. Ye were all I thought about after that.”

“I was intriguing to you, then, something new?”

“At first, perhaps, it was that, but then I got to know ye better. Ye have a great spirit, Abby, a quick mind, a trusting, loving nature. I’ve wanted a woman like thee all my life, someone who is my equal, and there ye were. And ye are not my equal, ye are better than me in every way. He is not deserving of thee, and sometimes I think neither am I.”

Abby looked away, moved by his words, and embarrassed.

“Ye cannot take a compliment, can ye?”

“They have not been given to me often.”

“No.” Kane shook his head. “That will change.”

Abby smiled, but there was something else she wanted to unburden herself of, and find an answer from him.

“There was another reason though, why I didn’t trust you. When I asked you if what we did in the stable was revenge, you didn’t answer, and that confirmed it for me. My heart broke, and I couldn’t hear anything else you said.”

Kane nodded, a slight flush appearing across his forehead. “I knew it was that. I cursed myself as soon as it happened, but it was too late to take it back, to tell the truth.”

“What is the truth?”

“That ye were right. There was revenge in my mind when we were in the stable. Being with thee while he was stood outside, oh, it was sweet, Abby, I can’t deny it. I thought ye felt it too, ye were hot so quick.”

Abby swallowed. There was truth to what he was saying about her as well. They had the same feelings, and she should admit that to him, but he was still explaining.

“But it was just the moment. I was taken over by the sight of him, and I was nearly ruined again because of it. Oh!”

Abby shut him up with a kiss, a long, lingering kiss that set her heart racing.

“I felt it too. I did. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”

Kane stroked her cheek. “It is in the past now. We focus on what comes next. Trust takes time.”

Abby shook her head. “I don’t need time. I do trust you.”

“Ye are all I’ve ever longed for. Never forget that.”

Abby nodded and Kane pulled her into his arms, and she rested her head on his chest, the rhythm of his breathing lulling her to a much-needed sleep.

---

When Abby woke it was still dark and she could hear someone else breathing, feel the weight of them in the bed next to her. It was disorientating at first, until an arm draped over her, and a familiar voice whispered to her.

“Are ye awake?”

It was Marcus, of course. Marcus in her bed, lying behind her, his breath tickling her ear, his arm heavy atop her. It was strange to wake up to another person in bed with her, especially him. Strange, but wonderful. She burrowed under the furs some more, pressed back against him to gain warmth from his body.

“Not quite. Are you?”

“Aye. Very much so.”

He shifted his weight, put his arm under the covers, across her belly, and pulled her further back into him. She could feel how awake he was.

“So I see.”

“Hmmm.”

He rolled his hips lazily against her, his cock sliding between her cheeks, rubbing against her sex. Abby pulled her legs up in front of her and he slotted his behind so that they fit neatly together. She could feel his hand between them, stroking his cock, before pushing it into her so slowly she was aware of every part he touched coming to life. They both sighed. He lay quietly at first, not moving, just holding her tight to him, then he began that lazy roll of his hips again and she followed him, pushing back as he thrust forward, matching his rhythm. It was like the slow dance at the end of a gathering, relaxed, languid, like they had all the time in the world.

Neither of them spoke. Abby’s senses were heightened, every sound they made seeming so loud in the quiet, the steady creak of the bed, the slap of their bodies coming together, their slow, heavy breaths, which frosted the cool air. Marcus brought his hand round in front of her, grasping her breast, squeezing it, thumbing her nipple. Abby let her hand drift to her sex, and she touched herself slowly, making lazy circles in her flesh. They continued like that, building the speed, the intensity, the pleasure, until she could tell Marcus was getting close to his release from the change in his breathing, his soft moans becoming groans in her ear. She pushed back harder, forcing him as deep within her as she could and he followed her lead, thrusting harder, faster. The heat was building in Abby’s sex, her nerves tingling, pleasure starting to pulse within her.

“Marcus,” was all she had to say, and he was coming inside her as her own pleasure took her over.

Afterwards they lay together without moving, Marcus growing soft within her but both of them reluctant to lose the contact.

“I wish we could stay like this forever,” he said.

“As do I, but Harper will be here soon. She cannot find you here.”

“I know.” Kane moved Abby’s hair to one side and kissed the back of her neck. “But it is so hard to leave.”

“There is tonight. No one is due back until the next day. You can stay with me again.”

“I will, but we must talk, Abby. Where do we go from here? What do we do about yer husband?”

“Yes, we must talk.” Abby’s heart was beating fast. She was unprepared for such a conversation; only the day before she had thought their relationship over, and before that she had deliberately not looked towards the future. She wasn’t sure there was anything to be done about her husband, so what future could she and Marcus have? There was no way out she could see.

Kane withdrew from her, slipped out of the bed and padded over to the fire where his clothes lay in a heap on the floor. He dressed quickly, then laid a fire in the grate and lit it. He came around to Abby’s side of the bed.

“Harper will wonder how I did that.” said Abby.

Kane laughed. “Aye, well maybe it’s time ye learned a few things, just in case.”

“Just in case what?”

“Ye leave him, and come be with me.”

“Marcus?” Abby was shocked at his response. Be with him? She had never considered that a possibility, although she knew they could not go on forever as they were.

Major Kinks::

Hole training: Any focus on training the victim to take larger insertions, training their hole to stretch or training them to feel pleasure/come only via anal stimulation is awesome. Degrading and humiliating the victim as they are trained, showing them everything that will be put inside them to ‘freak them out’, having them restrained and unable to do anything as their body is altered to another’s pleasure is awesome. It’s awesome if the training is done over the long term, and there is emphasis on the ‘permanence’ of it, especially if the victims hole now constantly gapes and feels empty without something inside.

Hole Spanking: Spanking the victims hole as a punishment is awesome. If the aggressor is unsatisfied by how loose the victims hole is, maybe they beat it until its puffy and ‘swollen closed’ to make it more pleasurable to use. Focusing on making their ass puffy and red swollen and sensitive is awesome. The victim crying and pleading for the blows to stop, especially if they’re bound/restrained so tightly they can’t even wiggle their hips or hope to escape the torment, is awesome.

Conditioning: Conditioning the victim to love their rape/rapist as well as conditioning them to enjoy stimulation, especially painful stimulation, is awesome. Conditioning like coming on command, come only via certain stimulation like anal/nipple, getting aroused by certain stimuli/words, and having total dependency on the aggressor is ideal. I’d say going almost as far as mind break, with the victim no longer questioning what is happening, no longer doubting the aggressor and anything they choose to do, and very much developing stockholm syndrome is a favourite of mine.

Incest dynamics: I’m a huge fan of taboo relationships, so incest is naturally a huge favourite, especially relating to power dynamics within the relationship. Older/younger brother types are my favourite, with the older brother having absolute control over the other, conditioning them as they see fit, grooming them sexually and emotionally to total dependency. I love if the younger brother never saw the older in a sexual/romantic way, and only initially plays along to appease and impress the older, until the older manipulates them into believing their feelings are incestful and coerces them into doing what they want. For specific scenarios from the tagset:

“Foreign family in society where incest is legal/common” i like when the younger person is kept in the dark about the practice, until one day it is forced upon them and they are expected to play along and ‘be good’ even though they’re scared and confused. Or alternatively, growing up knowing that when they come of age they will be given to their sibling/another family member, and trying all they can to prevent this but ultimately failing. In that scenario, the victim refusing to play along and fighting back, and the family member forced to discipline them, keep them in bondage, or ‘break/train them’ would be awesome.

Alternatively “Forced into incest by a third party”, potentially siblings finding themselves at the mercy of another, maybe because they lost a battle, they were kidnapped, another family member has control over them, someone has blackmail etc. and forcing the two siblings to engage in sexual acts for their own pleasure is awesome. I especially love if the younger sibling doesn’t want it and refuses to participate, but the older knows they have to or face worse punishment, and so is forced to aggressively ‘take’ the younger, apologising all the while, and hating themselves as they get off to it. This as a regular occurrence is also awesome (or hurt/comfort where the siblings then get together in a consensual context and fall in love idk fluff is good too)

Size kink: What can I say, I love a ruined hole. And emphasis on the ruined is my fave ;). I love an unwilling victim being tied down and forced to take massive objects, whether dildos or not, inside them. I love fisting, especially deep and double fisting, and the aggressor tormenting the victim by wiggling their fingers around inside them and freaking them out by how deep they are. I also love monster fucking with gigantic cocks (especially if the victim is used as a cocksleeve/warmer by said monster), and would love if you get creative with the monster cock (ie. prehensilve, knots, has knobs/bumps along the length, flares when the monster comes, maybe a hemipenis, go absolutely nuts). I love a bit of pain play, but an emphasis on how much the victim is getting aroused/is pleasured by being stuffed, feeling something so huge inside them, is awesome, especially if they lose their mind with pleasure as they’re roughly fucked. I love the aggressor getting off to how big the victims hole gapes, how stuffed they look, and talking about plans for what else they want to stuff inside them is awesome. The victim thinking it’s impossible that it will fit, being made to watch helplessly as it’s stuffed inside them, freaking out and begging the aggressor to stop, not to do this, that it will ruin them (and the aggressor telling them they can and WILL take it) is so fucking good. Stuff like belly bulges, the object being visible through their stomach, talk of how their insides are being rearranged and how deep they can feel the thing inside them is a personal weakness, but you don’t have to go that far. Coupled with hole training, this kink has got to be one of my favourites.

Torture: I love a good torture fic. As with all things, I do love pleasure with my pain, so the victim getting off as much as suffering with the torture that’s inflicted on them is ideal. For ball torture, i love busting, weights, pegs, kicking, electrostim, anything that hurts basically. If you pair that with the victim experiencing pleasure through their cock and ass— idk via milking or a hand job, dildos or some other implement— and them being absolutely driven insane by the pain/pleasure combo, having no idea how to deal with or process it, struggling against their bonds and begging for mercy, I would adore that. Nipple torture I love as well, especially a good ol piercing or weights play. I particularly love the idea of the victim’s nipples/cock being piercing and chain being connected between them, forcing the victim to double over or pull viciously on the piercings, or alternatively using the piercings to secure the victim to places in place of bondage, so that the victim can freely move and struggle but they can’t get away without hurting themselves, thus the internal struggle of having to submit to the aggressor lest they severely hurt themselves, is awesome.

Punishment: If you couldn’t already tell, I love punishment. Anything involving the aggressor dishing out any kind of sexual punishment towards the victim, for any kind of infraction they deem necessary, and the victim hating it, trying to escape, begging for mercy, insisting they can’t take it, while the aggressor ignores them and continues to punish them is AWESOME. Corporal punishment, maintenance punishment, sexual punishment, any kind of punishment is good, especially if it ends in the victim ultimately coming:

Captive prince ideas:

Auguste noncons Laurent (plus potentially council/Aleron)

I love the relationship between Auguste and Laurent, and the way Laurent clearly hero worships his brother. This kind of dynamic gives Auguste a lot of power and influence, as there’s little he could do/demand that Laurent would say no to. I’d love it if you explored this, especially if there was a focus on the sweet and innocent way Laurent loved his brother, and the darker, more insidious way that Auguste loves Laurent.

Maybe Auguste is King, and he’s an arrogant, vain and cruel man (a product of his upbringing), and so manipulates his younger brother into a sexual relationship (maybe because Laurent is so pretty he feels attracted to him and his sense of entitlement to own anything as King enables him to take action). It’s very BSDM heavy with a lot of grooming/sexual training, punishment/maintenance, with Laurent feeling overwhelming confliction between loving his brother and hating the control he has over him. If its canon era, Auguste likes to parade his brother around the court, loves making him look more feminine (maybe Auguste prefers women so Laurent is the closest he can get) or coerces Laurent into servicing him publicly/wearing sex toys in public.

Additionally: Imagine it’s tradition in Vere for the second son to become the pet of the first, so Laurent is given to Auguste. Auguste could be willing and enthusiastic, maybe he has been waiting for this day for ages, whether Laurent knows that or not, and can’t wait to finally do everything he’s been dreaming of to his baby brother. OR maybe Auguste is forced to take Laurent by Aleron or the Veretian council, who insist on the maintaining of the tradition. Maybe it’s a method of controlling second born sons because of a history of rebellions against the crown, and maybe this is especially prevalent after the Regent tries to pull a coup and fails, (brownie points if Laurent was the one who foiled/discovered it and yet gets ‘punished’ anyway), thus the council forces Auguste to take Laurent. If Auguste is ‘goodhearted’, maybe he promises Laurent he’ll never touch him like that, but then the council forces them to have a public consummation ceremony. Maybe once Auguste gets a taste, he can never go back. Any focus on training, grooming, aspects of incest, hole based punishment/training and conditioning.

Aleron noncons Laurent

I love the idea of Aleron being morally dubious, and adoring of his elder son and dismissive of his second, UNTIL Laurent is grown and suddenly beautiful, and Aleron takes notice. Maybe there’s a certain feminine graze about him that appeals to Aleron’s heterosexual inclinations, or maybe Laurent just looks and acts so much like his mother/Aleron’s dead wife that he grows to care for him like he did for her. Aleron takes him as his pet, regardless of whether Laurent wants this or not, and maybe this is because incest is tradition or encouraged in Vere. Aleron is king, and there’s nothing anyone, including Auguste, can do to stop him.

Damen noncons Auguste & Laurent

I’m a big fan of asshole!Damen, who never had to learn to become a better man through his experience in the books, and so becomes a bit of a egotistical tyrant who thinks he’s owed whatever he likes.

Imagine Damen defeats Auguste at Marlas and insists that his father let him take Auguste as a slave as a part of the peace treaty. Auguste submits, very reluctantly, in order to protect his people, but Laurent (who is aged up for our purposes) will not allow it, and steps in, maybe trying to kill Damen to stop this. In retribution for that, Damen insists they now take Laurent as well, though Auguste pleads for Damen to have mercy. Damen obviously has none. Now, Damen takes the two Veretian brothers back with him to Ios, where Auguste services him during the journey (because Laurent absolutely refuses to much to Damen’s ire) under threat of harm to Laurent. Damen wants to punish Laurent, because the corporal beatings do nothing to temper him. He loves Laurent’s youth, innocence and inexperience, and how close and adoring Laurent is of his brother, and so, feeling particularly cruel, he has Laurent tied down and forces Auguste to fuck him, giving him the option to do it as he likes, as slowly as he likes, or Damen will take Laurent’s virginity by force. Auguste does his best to take Laurent gently and make him enjoy it, though Laurent cries and pleads for him not to touch him. Auguste knows it is for Laurent’s own good, he knows that Damen would really hurt him, and so he ignores Laurent’s cries and takes him as gently as he can.

Any focus on Auguste’s moral crisis from enjoying fucking his brother, and then developing feelings for Laurent after the deed is done would be awesome. Anything including grooming, training, aspects of incest and punishment would be awesome too.

Govart noncons Laurent

Anything focusing on how big and strong Govart is and how little Laurent can do to physically defend himself against him would be awesome. I want Govart rough and brutal and yet driven by the orders of Laurent’s uncle to make sure he enjoys it, because the Regent knows that would be worse to Laurent than anything. I’d love for Govart to tie Laurent up for the rape, either to a bed or maybe some other structure, giving Laurent absolutely no wiggle room to defend himself, forcing him to accept that this is happening.

The prompt: Laurent is given to Govart by the Regent at some point (either pre-canon or during canon) as a reward for Govart and a punishment for something Laurent has done. Laurent initially doesn’t believe what is happening, even as he’s led into whatever room the two will be locked in, and as soon as he realises his uncle is serious he fights back. Govart obviously overwhelms him, Laurent is probably injured in the scuffle, and then Govart ties him up and fucks him rough and hard for hours. As a final act of dominance, Govart makes sure Laurent enjoys it, stimulating his prostate very deliberately and masturbating him to orgasm several times. Laurent feels overwhelming shame, not only at being raped by such a vile man, but by being made to enjoy it. In fact, being made to enjoy it is almost worse than the pain at all. A focus on large insertions, torture, punishment would be awesome!

Laurent noncons Damen (also guards)

Laurent oversees/participates in torturing/raping Damen instead of having him flogged in book 1 (this includes Laurent making the guards noncon Damen as well). Something involving predicament bondage, maybe crucifixion, would be awesome. Laurent/the guards working Damen carefully and methodically over with a whip, letting his guards fuck Damen one after the other until he is insensate, forcing larger and larger objects into his hole and making sure that as much as the stretch and burn hurts, it feels good too, masturbating him to orgasm again and again until Damen cries from oversensitivity, torturing his balls with paddles and canes and weights, piercing his nipples and/or cock and using the chains attached to secure him to different places (these are all just ideas). Any focus on hole based punishment/training, punishment, nipple and ball torture and Damen’s humiliation is amazing.

Nicaise noncons Laurent

I love the dynamic between these two, and how simultaneously healthy/toxic it can be. I want them bringing out the worst in each other, forcing each other to relieve past memories and filling each other with hate and resentment as much as obsession: who else could understand them as much as they understand each other?

Some ideas:

While Laurent is sleeping, Nicaise sneaks in and uses his body to come after a night with the Regent, and when Laurent wakes up he guilts Laurent into letting him finish or participating.

As punishment for assuming him dead and never looking for him, a bitter and emotionally and mentally ill Nicaise returns to Arles and guilts Laurent into sex/rapes him as punishment, sure that Laurent had reneged on his promise of protection and left him to suffer.

Nicaise topping Laurent would be good, or making Laurent fuck him, whatever you prefer. A focus on Laurent really physically responding, but being clearly emotionally pained and upset would be awesome.

Marvel (Thor movies)

Hulk noncons Loki

Maybe this is a post-Avengers punishment thing, where Loki is given to the Hulk, or the Hulk does some other kind of smashing in Stark Tower ;). OR maybe the Hulk finds out about Loki in Sakaar and, as a reward for winning one of his matches, the Grandmaster gives Loki to him to do as he pleases for an hour.

For this, I’d absolutely love a focus on size kink/hole abuse. The Hulk having an absolutely enormous cock, giving Loki a damn heart attack when he sees it cos he’s never had anything that big anywhere near him, would be ideal. Maybe the hulk is feeling generous and prepares Loki with a couple of fingers, though they alone are about the size of an average man’s cock each, and before he’s remotely finished Loki feels like he’s about to tear apart, his hole is ruined, gaping so wide it feels like it’ll never close, and despite himself (and to his horror) he’s actually hard, he’s actually enjoying the sensation of being absolutely split apart by the Hulk’s fingers/cock, and he comes. A lot. Loki coming so much on the Hulk’s cock that he feels like his mind is breaking, he’s positively shaking with oversensitivity, begging (despite promising himself he wouldn’t, despite the shame) for it to be over, for the Hulk to stop even as he begs for more.

Loki being helpless and defenseless and the Hulk absolutely ruining his ass, and Loki horrified at how much he’s enjoying it, would be awesome. That’s all I want, honestly.

Thor noncons Loki

I would take just about anything you could possibly come up with for these two, as long as it involves Thor absolutely fucking the living daylights out of a very reluctant Loki. I’d love it if there was size kink, maybe Thor just has a massive cock, maybe he’s discovered a spell that let’s him enlarge it, maybe he shoves Mjolnir in Loki first and then his own cock, maybe he shoves a whole bunch of weird objects inside Loki to humiliate him and stretch him wide before he fucks him (maybe he shoves his whole fist up there). I’d love for there to be an emphasis on how helpless Loki is, and i’d especially love if he was left ungagged so he could try to verbally tear Thor apart in his anger and then, the more he endures, the more pleasure and pain he feels, it gradually devolves into begging and pleading, (to stop/for more), and then helpless whines and cries.

I’d love for there to be punishment in this, especially hole spanking and nipple/ball torture. Thor using his sparkly fingers (/lightening powers) as a way to torture Loki would be awesome. Shooting jolts of electricity inside him, maybe electrifying an object he has shoved up his ass, or spending long moments zapping strategic bolts through his balls/nipples until he screams. Maybe Thor is mad at Loki (for any of the canon things he’s done/any made up thing) and he’s intent on setting his brother straight with a punishment that’ll drive the lesson home. Maybe he ends up enjoying it far more than he should, and his excitement makes him crueller and more determined to take from Loki every single thing he has. I’d love it if there was overstimulation, with Loki coming so much it becomes agony, and Thor refusing to relent. I just want Loki to get absolutely wrecked and hate every moment of it, despite how well his body responds.

Odin noncons Loki

Odin punishing a young Loki for one of his many infractions with a lil sexual torture would be very nice. Tying him up and strategically and methodically targeting every one of Loki’s fears and desires until he turns his own body against himself, getting inside his head and fucking with him, ignoring his cries and pleas like Loki isn’t even a person and therefore not worth listening to, or releasing an unrelenting tirade of judgement upon Loki, especially targeting how Loki is responding to his punishment and how depraved he is, humiliating him, would be awesome. Some more hardcore torture like asshole spanking, nipple and ball torture (especially ball busting or weights) I would love.

Also, Odin methodically and carefully opening Loki up so there’s no pain, only pleasure, until he’s so stretched and his muscles are so lax he can barely close his hole at all, and then fucking something huge inside him (his fist, a giant dildo, some other humiliating object) and then leaving him there with it still inside, maybe casting a spell so that it fucks Loki like a fucking machine, making Loki take it for hours until he’s come so much it hurts and he can’t even scream any more, and then coming back and taking care of him/being kind to him, and just generally fuckin with Loki’s head with his kindness, and this being the last straw that breaks him, would be awesome.

Jotunn beast noncons Loki/Jotunn beast noncons Loki and Thor

Maybe Loki and/or Thor goes to Jotunheim for some purpose and get caught there in a storm or something, and then are happened upon by a ginormous Jotunn beast that can maybe scent some kind of pheromone that Loki is releasing.

I’d love it if you got creative with the Jotunn monster’s dick: how big is it (hopefully massive), is it a hemipenis? Are there bards/knobs on it?, is there a knot? Does it flare? How much does the creature come/how long can it go for? Do anything you like with this, the wackier the better.

I would love there to be an emphasis on how helpless Loki and/or Thor is to the beast/s-- maybe they have to play along with it because it has some pretty wicked claws and it’s threatening to fucking rip him/them in half, maybe Thor was doing alright fighting them, but one of them manages to pin Loki and it’s looking pretty murderous, so to appease it Thor puts down his weapon and they have to choose between letting it fuck him/them or dying, or maybe they fight the beasts and the beasts straight up trounce them, before holding him/them down and fucking him/them.

I’d prefer if there was minimal pain, maybe the creature has some magical aphrodisiac powers that relax muscles and make it feel good, or maybe Loki’s Jotun physiology lets him get fucked by the beast (maybe it's some kind of jotun ritual thing, and so they evolved to take the kinds of massive penises that the monster has-- additionally, Loki and/or Thor having to participate in this Jotun ritual to gain their loyalty/become their king would be an awesome idea)

Additionally, after the creature has come, it keeping Loki/Thor on it’s cock like a cocksleeve and then just going back to its cave or wherever, and Loki/Thor is too fucked out, still almost insensate, completely overwhelmed by the massive length of the beast still inside him/them (and the amount of come it released in him/them), so they can’t do anything but hang on as every step jostles the beasts cock (maybe it also pisses inside him as well?) GO CRAZY WITH IT.

Yuri on Ice!!!

Victor Nikiforov noncons Yuri Plisetsky

Something with a young, innocent and relatively naive Yuri who wants to impress older and cooler Victor. Dark!Victor who is cruel and manipulative, and initially uses Yuri’s hero worship to get close to him and then either forces or manipulates him into a sexual relationship. He constantly pushes Yuri too far/does too much, but manipulates Yuri into thinking he’s weak for not being able to handle it/protesting. I’d love it if Victor groomed Yuri for sex, into the perfect little sex kitten who is too afraid/doesn’t know how to deny Victor anything. I’d love if Victor’s favourite thing was to put huge things in Yuri’s ass, and he loves training the boy to be able to take bigger and bigger things everytime they play. An emphasis on their size difference, especially when Victor’s put huge things (maybe his whole fist) inside Yuri would be really hot. I’d love it if Victor made his gape so much that he feels empty and desperate without something inside him, and so Victor keeps him stuffed with plugs, especially vibrating ones, and he loves to torment him by turning it on at random times (never while Yuri’s in competitions, but often while he’s practicing). Maybe there’s some punishment: maybe Yuri nearly lets slip their relationship to someone, and Victor freaks out and takes it out on Yuri (feel free to do anything you’d like with that, but i’d love some hole based punishment like spanking or some crazy huge insertion that Yuri wasn’t ready for, or maybe some cock and ball torture). I’d also love a lot of sexual conditioning, where Yuri is trained to be able to come by certain stimulation and struggle to orgasm without it (especially prostate stimulation).

For some really possessive/cruel acts, Victor pissing inside Yuri after he’s finished fucking him and making him keep it inside, plugging him up so it can’t escape, bending him over in public paces and making him stay quiet to avoid getting caught, Victor intimidating Yuri with his larger size, maybe manhandling Yuri when Yuri tries to protest, especially holding him up and fucking him on his cock and not letting Yuri escape no matter how much he protests. I’d love it if Yuri cries or begs, and Victor completely ignores him.

Yakov noncons Victor & Yuri Plisetsky

Old and mean Yakov who conditions and grooms his young skaters, starting with a young and pretty Victor and continuing all through his career until Yuri comes alone. Victor is relieved to think maybe Yakov won’t have the time or attention for him, but instead Yakov just brings Yuri in on their sessions, and makes Victor do things to Yuri instead. Some double penetration, or Victor fucking Yuri while Yakov fucks Victor would be cool. The boys are too afraid to get help, Yakov is a dominant power in the skating community and no charges would ever stick to him, and there’s a part of them that really enjoy the depraved things that Yakov does to them/makes them do. You can do any kinks you like here, though i’d be partial to lots of sexual training and conditioning, and maybe Yakov getting them pierced or tattooed to mark his claim on them.
