#dustdeepsea fic: aqua vitae

[dustdeepsea]

“I could wash your hair for you,” he offers, with a rakish smile. “Tuck you into bed after. If that’s all that you wanted?”

You meet the Zhentarim agent that promised you a drink at the Elfsong. The night doesn't go as planned.

Folks - I have absolutely no excuse for any of this. Rugan's voice did something to my poor brain. This Tav is angry, horny, and extremely bad at feelings.

This is, by far, the most explicit thing I've ever written. Enjoy the 2.5k of smut, with a veneer of plot for the rest.

Thank you to @my-favourite-zhent for the inspiration.

CRASH COURSE IN RUGANISM

It's my third day since infiltrating the Rugan collective, and this sub-fandom is something else. While Raphael's mice live in harmony with their various Raphaels, each Raphael sub-group in a different corner, the Rugan collective is a clandestine and united criminal operation. They have their communication channels, workshops and joint projects. It's literally the Zhent underground.

My favourite works so far (read them even if you have no idea who Rugan is. I didn't either. It doesn't matter. The collective has created a complex, funny, amazing character out of scraps and pieces and deleted lines and hivemind headcanons), all Rugan / F!Tav.

aqua vitae by @dustdeepsea Vibe: drunk, realistic, passionate, psychologic, smutty.

lucky fox by @littleplasticrat Rugan / Dammon/Tav threesome. Vibe: friendly, with a hint of debauchery, Rugan being lewd, Rugan / Damon bisexual vibes, perfect chemistry between all three.

worthwhile reward by @my-favourite-zhent Vibe: darker Rugan but still soft!dom Rugan, Tav is happy to submit.

new tricks by @my-favourite-zhent: the only ongoing longfic inn the list. Vibe: a sleazy criminal meets a less sleazy criminal. Chemistry ensues.

Please forgive the authors and fics I have not listed, I am still exploring. I will follow up with Part 2.

Remember when I used to draw shoujo manga? Yeah. It's been a while. 🙃 I'm terrible at digital artwork, but I did quite a bit of live act drawing with graphite and charcoal last year.

This is for everyone who voted for Rugan/Tav in the poll! I hope this tides you over for a while, while I work on the other writing requests. I love your enthusiasm, never change :)

One half of my brain: - so aqua vitae refers to a strong alcoholic spirit and there is indeed drinking in this, yes, but also! water (aqua) has a symbolic meaning to it, because she ritually undresses herself before he helps her to bathe and it's the most intimate gesture in this story - do you think the readers will appreciate this? do you think it sounds too pretentious - "the water of life"?

Other half: you've written the word "cock" 6 times in this story. please stop overthinking this.
