if i had a nickel for every time a famous and influential batman story arc had both superman and jason todd playing a pivotal role, i'd have four nickels, which really isn't a lot but it is weird that it's happened four separate times over three decades
#personal#no like literally i'm not kidding#superman is in death in the family's last chapter and obviously death in the family is a big story#for both jason and bruce#in knightfall bruce is having this sort of slomo psychological breakdown where he keeps thinking of jason#(and then relives his murder under fear toxin)#and it's also heavily implied that him not dealing with the death of superman that had happened right before this#is also heavily contributing to his bad mental state and how low he's getting before bane shows up#hush of course features the first return of jason and superman is at the end of no reason at all#other than to i guess provide emotional support??? (and perform some minor surgery on bruce)#(who then takes the initiative to thank clark for being his friend which is like goddamn hush batman was doing a lot)#and then superman shows up AGAIN in under the red hood!!!#when bruce is looking for answers on whether resurrection is possible he finishes by going to clark who immediately knows something's up#it gets weird and intimate#and obviously under the red hood is Thee big jason arc#but like yeah that's literally four of the most famous batman stories that have both jason and superman as a theme#like just goddamn.

you've been friends with bakugo since you could crawl. you know every single thing about each other.
he knows your favorite colors. you know his ears turn red when he's lying. he can always make you laugh with that intoned snark, no matter how annoying he is.
you can easily follow the way his lip curls with a sneer, pink and plush in all the ways a childhood friend shouldn't look. he can make out the distinct smell of your perfume... vanilla.. cherries... and something else. something entirely you. he can't keep his eyes from crossing, just a little.
when he can't bear your gaze any longer, he pulls you into a firm but uncharacteristically gentle headlock. there's a spot underneath his ribs that's particularly ticklish; you only use it as a nuclear last resort when escaping his all-too-beefy chokehold - jesus when did he get so big
#i'm just having a lot of feelings#he's the friends to lovers slow burn of the century#katsuki's like the last one in the room to know and the weight of it crashing down is so paralyzing#he's constantly over thinking#and battling this push pull of wanting to maintain this cornerstone friendship and knowing you much more intimately#COUGHASLOVERSCOUGHCOUGH#ohhhh and he really wouldn't know how to make the leap#so you're just at this weird stand still where the tension and chemistry gets worse#and everyone's just fed up#tapping their feet#bakugo x reader#katsuki x reader#ship.bakubun#char.katsuki#bun.writes#⥠katsuki

Sam and Dean don't work with so many fan fiction tropes because they're just too weird. If Sam and Dean woke up handcuffed together, they already stand so close they probably wouldn't even notice. If there was 'only one bed' left in the motel room, they would probably fight obnoxiously over who would take the floor/couch for fifteen minutes before agreeing to just share the bed. And the whole time they'd be trying to give the other more of the blanket/space on the bed because they're just so weird. In a fuck or die situation, Sam and Dean would have no qualms about it whatsoever. Honestly they would probably pop a stiffy from being able to lend their body to ensure the other's survival at their own expense. Like, that's just how they are in the show. Fake dating? These two already act like an old married couple. If they started acting like they were dating, they would barely have to play anything up or do anything different. They're just that weird. Like, I'm telling you. Fan fiction tropes and Sam and Dean don't work. Because they're just so, so weird.
#i try to fall back on fandom cliches when writing these two#but it doesn't work because there's not a universe that exists where i can make them weird about each other.#they're already so weird about each other in the show that i just can't outdo that. not even a slow burn 200K coffee shop AU could do it#i can't give them any more chemistry or weirdness than they have in the show. there's no awkward getting together b/c they're married.#brother fucking husbands is what they are. god help me#i can't make them more intimate than they already are in long looks exchanged on screen. like. what's the point#shipping is about seeking self gratification by seeing something where it isn't. it's about the high of delusion. but sam and dean just...#they're all over the place. they're so WEIRD.

The call connects and thereâs Roy, seemingly back at his own house, seated on a grey couch and wearing a scowl dark enough to match his t-shirt and jacket.
Trent smiles, though carefully not too wide. âHello Roy. Thank you for agreeing to this.â
Roy grunts. âBetter you than any of the other wankers,â he mutters.
Trent makes an effort to hide his grin. Visibly gloating about having the sort of access to Roy Kent that other journalists â independent or disgraced or otherwise â can only dream of isnât likely to get him the exclusive comments that he needs from Richmondâs head coach on todayâs kerfuffle.
âSo,â he offers smoothly, âwhat do youââ
Heâs cut off by the loud bang of a door slamming shut on the other end and a startled fuck from Roy and then thereâs Jamie Tarttâs head coming into view as it flops down on Royâs lap. He must have thrown himself down onto the couch.
âItâs all such fucking bullshit, man,â Jamie pronounces dramatically as he â Trentâs eyebrows rise another inch â grabs Royâs arm and pulls it over his chest, claiming half a cuddle. âDid you knowââ
âIâm in the middle of an interview, you twat,â Roy barks, but he does not, Trent notes with increasing interest and incredulity, remove his arm.
âSince when doâ ?â Lifting his head from Royâs lap, Jamie blinks at the screen. âOh! Uh. Hi, Trent! How you doinâ, you good?â His grin is wide, easy, with no hint of embarrassment, and Trent finds himself smiling back. Jamie has always been charismatic, but the last few years have seen his swagger turn into a good-natured charm thatâs surprisingly hard to resist.
âIâm fine, thank you, Jamie. And regarding the news this afternoon, how do youââ
âNo,â Roy immediately says, shifting to push Jamie off his lap in spite of the younger manâs indignant protests. âHe has no fucking comment. Heâs not part of this conversation. Heâs not even fucking here.â
âThe fuck are you on about, mate, he can see Iâmâ â
âGo to the kitchen,â Roy interrupts. âGet me a whisky. If I have to listen to you complain about wankers on Twitter or split fingernails or whatever, I need a fucking drink.â
âYouâre an arsehole,â Jamie tells him from out of the picture, but he doesnât sound particularly upset. âI havenât even got any split fingernails.â And then he must be off because he doesnât say anything else and Roy turns back to Trent, glaring like heâs daring Trent to say it.
Trent, with equal parts cunning and self-preservation, says nothing at all. Waits.
Eventually, Royâs shoulders drop a millimeter. He lets out a huff. âJamieâs fucking needy, all right? He needs fucking hugs and shit and he turns into a moody bitch prima donna if he doesnât get them, so.â He presses his lips together, having apparently said all he intends to say on the subject.
Trent had noticed Jamieâs fondness for hanging off anyone's and everyoneâs shoulder during his season with the team. He hadnât known and would never have imagined, though, that Roy would ever be willing to indulge the tendency, especially not to this degree. And that rather begs the question...
âRoy,â he says carefully. âYou know that, if the two of you areââ
âWeâre not.â And Roy closes his eyes, shakes his head. Opens them, looking resigned, but looking a little bit wry too. âBe less fucking weird if we were, wouldnât it? But weâre not. Itâs just⌠â He pauses. Shakes his head again. âItâs Jamie. Just⌠fucking Jamie.â
âExcept you are not,â Trent says, just to be clear, just because being a bit of an asshole is a habit, and fun.
âExcept Iâm not,â Roy growls, and looks like heâs about to add something more â something scatching and imaginatively insulting, Trent assumes â but then he lifts his head, turning towards someone offscreen. âWhatâ ? Yeah, weâre fucking done. Bye, Crimm,â he adds, and then the screen goes dark as Roy abruptly ends the call.
âBye, Roy,â Trent tells the silence. âIâll just text you the questions, shall I? You can get back to me when youâre done giving Jamie Tartt a cuddle.â
#roy and jamie fucking are fun i guess#but them cuddling and being super intimate and deeply weird about each other while NOT fucking is also very very fun#as of 3x11 jamie has decided that roy is indeed his for the cuddling whenever jamie needs him to be#roy is resigned to this#he took one look at jamie and georgie and knew it was his destiny#and itâs not exactly hardship#and itâs quite nice to be needed#which still doesnât stop him from calling jamie a bitch bc roy is still very much a work in progress#he'll get there#probably#also roy and trent's relationship is so special to me#if trent somehow started doing regular journalism again he would TOTALLY use the fact#that he's the one journo roy doesn't hate#roy would fucking mutter and grumble and complain about it#but would ultimately indulge him#just as he does for jamie#and phoebe and anyone that he cares about#trent crimm#roy kent#jamie tartt#ted lasso#roy & jamie#ficlet#my stuff

For Hamlet, and the trifling of his favour, Hold it a fashion, and a toy in blood; A violet in the youth of primy nature, Forward, not permanent- sweet, not lasting; The perfume and suppliance of a minute; No more.

Vasco and Machete are absolutely adorable, your style is so lovely and you draw the softest beds Iâve ever seen in any art ever
.
#thank you!#softest beds is a whole new compliment that's so sweet#let me go off on a weird and personal tangent for a minute#I've always found the concept of sleeping very touching somehow#it's this mandatory resting period literally everyone has to plan their life around no one has the power to avoid sleeping#if you neglect it your mind and body start to break down very quickly#sleep is such a neutral state of being no one is particularly sad or happy or evil or good while they're asleep they're just logged off#sleeping feels nice it's rejuvenating it's one of the few universal pleasures every single person has an access to#and I find it terribly cute how people have different little bedtime rituals#socks on socks off various pillow and blanket arrangements certain sounds that make them sleepy etc#and sleeping next to someone is such an act of trust#it's extremely intimate as is sex doesn't necessarily have to factor into it#getting comfortable and going unconscious with someone at the same place at the same time that just touches my heart#especially if you're invited into their bed which is a very private space a person's own little nest where the world can't reach them#even if you fall asleep in public transport there's this vulnerability to it and for the most part people respect the sanctity of sleep#and tend to leave sleeping people alone at least in my limited experience#I like drawing my characters sleeping because it feels like I'm doing them a favor granting them a little respite#anonymous#answered

I wish we couldâve seen Marcâs reaction to Valeâs retirement. At the end of the day Marc basically worshipped him throughout his childhood and Vale was one of the first to support him when Marc first got in MotoGP. I wonder if despite all he still felt even the tiniest bit sad or if it was just a relief for him.
i mean we very much do have his reaction to vale's retirement. that was a pretty significant thing that happened. like i understand where youâre coming from here but we very much do have that quote
#im just being a stinker i get what you mean !#this quote is part PR face and part stand up marc and part twin flames psychodrama tbh im obsessed...#i thought he would continue. we are losing the biggest part of motogp. EYE dont have any problems. like. okay.#what i actually wonder is if marc feels weird when vale comes to races as a spectator. like thats kinda intimate if you think about it....#callie speaks#motogp#rosquez#asks#int

What happens when the old abandoned android you found and decided to restore happens to have a mind of their own?
Teach them all they want to learn about being human, obviously. While also giving them some sweet upgrades!
Meda doesnât know who made Drew, but he DOES know that Drew is incredibly unique. They have little recovered memory of their life before their shutdown, and they arenât quite sure what their purpose is, but Meda told them that not everything needs a purpose. Some things can just be.
#mpreg#tmpreg#itâs not incredibly obvious but Meda is definitely pregnant in the second image#Drew is sitting on a tattoo chair by the way#Meda felt really weird having them laid out on a table to be worked on once they woke up so he obtained one by totally normal means#Drew doesnât need the neck pillow for comfort#Meda just gave it to them once as a joke and they liked that he found it funny so theyâve used it since#they donât fuck btw#they get. kind of intimate but itâs under the guise of educational purposes#so Iâm sorry to disappoint but the robot is not somehow the other parent đ#m draws

#Iâm only very rarely inclined to get this intimate w my thoughts so I might as well say it NOW butttt I will never not see the dead children#In everything I do#Like legit#Iâve read up on Hind so extensively and seen so many photos of her#And I have a very healthy relationship w the popular Palestinian journalists so sheâs not my blorbo or anything#But hearing that memo destroyed me bc bisan is only 23 and she seemed so vivacious#Idk like I do normal people things I canât just pause on my life#But idk how it feels like to sit at a boba place and enjoy my pearl milk tea w my friends#While the horrors over there donât just lurk the back of my mind. I do normal things and Iâm guilty for having the luxury#And as an Iraqi girl Iâm living in the literal ideal timeline#Where my mom decided to immigrate to the us and thatâs why Iâm here living a normal life like everyone else#Itâs like in a different world if I were born in a different time it couldâve so easily been me. Iâm one of the Lucky Ones idk#Itâs not survivorâs guilt bc itâs not like I had to survive anything like I never had the chance to live in Iraq or anything#But like. If some things had fallen just a little differently#And I keep thinking about how Iâd feel if it were happening to Iraq and people behaved the way theyâre doing to Palestinians#Iâd be so mad#And some people on here are dealing w assholes while bursting at the seams w grief#For losing their loved ones#This is why Iâm so fucking angry at anyone whoâs complicit#This was a major tangent but basically I feel weird about doing normal things now while simultaneously knowing I canât just sit and wallow#And watch life pass by as if itâll do anything#Misery is not a home but Iâm struggling to be 100% normal#And I think that this tonal dissonance is reflecting on my blog too bc I canât go back to just#Posting about all the other normal things I used to. Like I want to but sometimes I feel off.#Is this anything. I havenât slept all night#I canât just allow myself to lose interest in everything I used to like and be and just fade away but maybe itâs about accepting that this#Will also always be a part of me now. Itâs that awareness that shadows everything I do#or maybe I need a therapist itâs a toss up#Iâll probably feel better once I get my day started but this was cathartic to voice I think#p

spock being framed as miranda jones's romantic rival in "is there in truth no beauty?" is wild on both a foils context and on a queer spock context fr
#miranda rebuking the romantic/flirtatious advances of everyone and starting to lose it when spock is about as intimate with kollos as#they can possibly get is fascinating for both the miranda spock dynamic and the spock kollos dynamic#star trek#miranda jones#spock#i do think they miranda and spock should have made out about their problems after it was all over and bonded over their weird respective#relationships with kollos and jim respectively but. once i finish the fic it's over for all of y'all

This is a special genre of f1 picture(to ME.)
#ive talked a lot about helmets lately oops#i guess i just rly have an obsession with how they're an extension of the driver#and a representation of them and their only sense of personality and individuality when theyre all geared up#so theres something to me about the separation of helmet from driver like in these pics#of course theres pics of the helmet on its own for model kinda pics(like all the pics i used for my past project posts)#but this is its own genre. helmet doing its own thing. helmet away from the vicinity of its owner#helmet being protected from the elements. it has its own carrying bag. it gets an umbrella. etc etc#the first pic made me on the lookout for pics w a similar vibe. IDK WHY BUT IM RLY OBSESSED WITH IT#having a severe helmet fucker era </3 i look at these and i feel very weird about them đ#not included cause its a differnt genre but also thinking abt pics where someone other than the driver themselves is holding their helmet#theres something weirdly intimate to me about it. its too reminiscent of that one painting of the germanic warrior holding the roman helmet#<- DO YOU GET WHAT IM IMPLYING HERE.#anyways. i digress. helmet being taken care of and protected is cute to me#its such an extension of the driver so its kinda funny ig that they get their own photoshoots#also yeah these are all nando helmets bcs i couldn't find pics from other drivers that i thought had the same vibe#and i think its interesting how these correlate with whom the photographer is and the level of popularity of the driver#like are you popular enough that someone will see your helmet apart from you and think its important enough for a pic?#and its so interesting comparing pics from the same time from different teams#bcs you can see how different the motivations of the different photographers are based on what the pics are like#well blah blah blah helmet kink blah blah blah#f1#formula 1#fernando alonso#helmet

E&T: Caught in the Clutches of Lust
No im not sorry for any of this. cope and seethe
Btw I used a line from @painsandconfusion and @wormwriting's degradation starter list that I saved THREE YEARS AGO for this very moment. I am always playing the long game (âËâ)
âPrevious - Masterlist
Ingredients: VERY creepy/intimate whumper, implied threat of noncon, a lot of noncon touching (unsexy but right on the edge), implied noncon kiss, unsexy nudity
Shiori?
No, it couldnât be, she was a world away, she was human, heâd left her waiting by the fountain after the party and sheâd moved on and forgotten about him, no reason to follow him here, into the depths of hell, looking exactly like she had the night of the party, jarringly out of place in her pretty dress, smiling at him like he wasnât a blood-covered, unrecognizable version of himself.
And then he blinked, and all of a sudden it wasnât Shiori at all, but Lythia, wearing the same yellow bandana that she always did while she was working in the palace gardens, the little black braids of her hair just as beautiful as he remembered. There was no pity in her dark eyes, like there had been the last time he saw her, looking up at him from the crowd while he was chained to that pillar, promising heâd be rescued after it was already too late. Actually seeing her hurt, and Erebus looked away for a moment, just a momentâŚ
When he saw the woman in front of him now, his jaw dropped, eyes widening, his tense, burning hands finally relaxing.
âCome on, letâs get you somewhere safe.â
Her voice was just as he remembered, and she was smiling at him so kindly, her eyes soft, her gloved hand outstretched, she was here to save him, sheâd found a way to bring him back, he was too tired and scared and stressed to do anything else besides surrender control to her once again, to take her small hand and follow her blindly towards the fate sheâd chosen for him. She was squeezing his still-healing hand tightly in hers, but she could do whatever she wanted with him just as long as she got him out of this place.
âWell, that was easy.â
The voice wasnât Shioriâs, or Lythiaâs, and it certainly wasnât Neteriâs.
Erebus jumped back, finally seeing the person next to him clearly for the first time. She-they?-smirked at him, bright purple eyes sparkling. Their white hair was long and wavy, partially braided back with impeccable precision. Gold jewelry and a low-cut black dress accentuated their natural beauty, seeming very out of place in this hellish world. Most striking of all, though, was their bright red skin, a shade that was very familiar to Erebus.
This was a lust demon, and sheâd lead him right into her lair.
âYou-how did-I-â
They laughed, deep and bright, obviously amused by his shock and confusion. âYou only saw what your heart wanted you to see, darling. Itâs not my fault you turned into a meek little lamb and followed me here.â
Erebusâs face grew hot. âWell I-IâŚâ his wings sank behind him. Heâd thought he was about to be saved. Like an idiot. Sheâd led him away from the bubbling pools and acrid air into a sort of cave, a furnished one at that. But now he was cornered in here, at a disadvantage in the cramped space. He swallowed and changed the topic, hand resting on the pommel of his sword. âWho are you and what do you want with me?â
âApologies.â She bowed slightly, the sort of bow people gave when they were pretending to show respect during negotiations, but then declared war a few weeks later. âMy name is Asmodeum, and really,â they gave him a disapproving look, âIâd rather not fight with you. I heard youâve defeated Somiaken and Vorath already, but I believe you and I could work something out without coming to blows.â They held their hands up briefly, but the way they watched him made it clear that their guard was still up. âSo, tell me your name, now. Unless youâd prefer I just call you darling?â
Erebus very much did not want that, so he complied. âErebus. But you didnât really answer my question. What do you want, if not to fight me?â
Asmodeum sighed wistfully. âWell, I can tell that youâre the sort of person whoâll never agree to what I really want, but I believe something can be arranged. You see, Iâve been stuck here for Akumo knows how long with no toys to play with. So, I was thinking-â
âI-Iâm not gonna be your toy,â Erebus choked, his throat feeling like it was closing up.Â
âAh, ah, ah.â Asmodeum wagged a finger. âLet me finish, dear. I could have my way with you quite easily, you know. It would be oh so effortless to drag you back into my domain proper and throw you into a pool of boiling water or lava and watch the show. However, I think your forced cooperation would make this a little more fun, and it would be nice if you behaved for me. So, if you let me do what I want with you, barring the most intimate acts, Iâll let you kill me once Iâve had my fill.â
âWhat happens if I donât say yes?â
Asmodeum casually examined their nails. âI will take you by force and I will defile you.â
âD-defile?! You donât meanâŚâ Erebus quickly glanced down, and Asmodeum smiled wickedly.
âOh, I do mean. If you let me play with you, I swear I wonât do anything of the sort. Call it an incentive. So come on, Erebus, get rid of your sword.â Erebus just tightened his grip on it, weighing his options. As much as he didnât want to let this demonâŚplay with him...did he really have any other options? He was exhausted, and there wasnât much room in here for him to try and put up a proper fight. And more than anything, he really, really didnât want to risk being...Despite the anxiety building in his chest, Erebus unbuckled the sword belt around his waist, setting it carefully on the ground.
âFine. But if you so much as touch me there Iâll-Iâll make you regret it.â How would he do that? He wasnât sure. But he just-he had to make it clear that he wasnât surrendering. He was justâŚagreeing to play along. Just to get a break from fighting. He was okay with this. Heâd be fine. He'd been through so much worse.
He'd be fine.
âI promise I wonât cross that boundary, donât you fret.â Asmodeum walked over to him, kicking his sword out of reach as they took his hand. âFirst things first, youâre absolutely filthy. Letâs get you cleaned up, shall we?â
Erebus pulled his hand out of her grasp. âI mean, I-I can do that myself,â he muttered. Asmodeum raised an eyebrow.
âIâm sure you can, but I want to wash you, dear. And right now,â she grabbed his hand once more, âI get what I want.â They pulled him along into a bathroom, and he followed reluctantly, feeling an odd sense of familiarity in just going along with this sort of thing. Their threat was certainly a motivator, but that didnât mean he was going to roll over completely on every little thing, right? He had to make it clear that he wasnât happy with this, despite agreeing to it. She started filling up the bathtub with water, turning to him with a smile. âLet me strip you now.âÂ
âI-Iâd rather-â
âShhhh.â She placed a finger on his lips, her other hand starting to undo the ties on his shirt. âNone of that, dear. I canât get you all clean if youâre wearing these dirty clothes, now can I?â He looked away as they tugged his shirt off, hoping that theyâd-nope, now they were going to try and take off his pants, too.
âYou said you werenât going to-to do that to me.â
âI wonât. But that doesnât mean you get to keep your clothes on the whole time, you shy little thing. I just wonât touch.â Erebus stifled a whine as she pulled down his pants, and his underwear along with them. âThere we go. You can get in now.â He did so, almost jumping into the warm water and crouching down, hugging his knees close and spreading his wings around himself protectively. They gently pushed his wings back, stroking his face as he glared at them with wide eyes. âThereâs no use hiding when Iâve already seen everything, silly. I think Iâm going to need to get these arms out of the way, hmmm?â They pulled out a pair of manacles, and Erebusâs stomach sank.
âWait, I wonât resist just-just donât-â
âToo late for that, Erebus.â She clamped them around his wrists, twisting the chain securely around the faucet. âBesides, you look absolutely darling like that, all helpless. Now, keep those wings out of the way or Iâll pierce them together.â Erebusâs wings sank in defeat, slowly moving back until they were behind him. There wasnât any winning here, was there? âGood boy.â She grabbed a cup from the countertop and started using it to pour water on him, rinsing away some of the pieces of flesh stuck to his bloodied skin. After she lathered a washcloth with soap, she began to gently clean the dried blood off his face. He screwed his eyes shut, fists clenched as he tried to think about anything else.Â
Even back when he was a prince, heâd hated being fussed over, preferring to take care of himself when he could. Asmodeum, however, seemed to have no concept of personal space, or just didnât care. She had to work hard to get through the blood caked over most of his skin, leaning in close, starting with his face before switching to his hair. Their hands slid in, tenderly working through tangled bloody mats and massaging his scalp. He hated how nice it felt, how much it reminded him of the way Lythia always used to play with his hair, forcing himself to open his eyes and look at Asmodeum, to remind himself who wasâŚ
Lythia smiled at him sweetly, and Erebus felt his blood run cold. That wasnât her, no matter what he saw, no matter how he felt. She wasnât here. She was back home, probably still tending the palace gardens despite the change in management. Did she still think of him as she looked at all the places they used to laugh? Or could she not get the image of him screaming and sobbing up on that podium out of her mind, unable to remember any other version of him than the one heâd left her with? Maybe thatâs what he deserved to be remembered as, since heâd hardly thought of her since that day, the memories too painful.Â
Erebus shuddered when Asmodeum moved to his horns, which were always far more sensitive than they had any right to be. She seemed to be able to tell, continuing to stroke them long after they were clean, and as much as he wanted to ask them to stop, he was afraid it would only encourage them. At the very least, the disconnect between Lythia and his horns was enough to push the thoughts of her out of his mind, and Asmodeum changed back to their normal form.
Her hands finally slid lower, caressing his neck, fingers slipping under his collar, making sure the skin underneath was clean, pressing down against his throat every so often as they did so. It wasn't enough to really choke him, but the message was clear.
They moved onto his shoulders, his wings, his arms, his back. He caught their smile as they saw what his right arm really looked like, and her fingers traced his whip scars as they were uncovered. Dread started to pool in his stomach as she moved to his chest, scrubbing away, revealing-
âOh, well isnât this pretty.â They marveled at his brand, stroking the lines of the scar, pausing over his rapidly-beathing heart. âToo bad youâre already owned by someone else, huh? But I suppose theyâre not here now, are they?â Erebus just bit his lip, refusing to make eye contact. The thought of hisâŚof Neteri not being here hurt, and, try as he might, he couldnât help but think of her, of the way sheâd always protected him. He wondered how angry sheâd get if she saw what was happening to him, or if she could feel now that someone besides her was touching him. He could imagine her bursting in, yelling at Asmodeum to get their hands off of him, unchaining him and letting him cover up before pulling him into a hug-wait wait what was he thinking sheâd been his captor sheâd hurt him and ripped him into pieces and kept him locked up but she'd promised to save him and he missed her.
âWhatâs wrong, darling? Is even this too much for you?â Asmodeum brushed away a tear he didnât realize had been falling with her finger, her skin no longer red, but brown. He couldn't look her in the eye. Not while she wore that face. âSuch a sensitive little thing.â Hearing those words in that voice was already bad enough. Erebus tugged at his chains, wishing he could rub away those stupid traitorous tears, because he wasnât crying about Neteri or Asmodeum or any of this.Â
Their hands plunged beneath the surface of the blood-clouded water now, and Erebus couldn't stop himself from tensing up as they scrubbed his stomach, glad the parts of him that were previously under clothes weren't as caked in blood as those that weren't. Still, there was enough to clean that she had an excuse for her hands to wander lower still, caressing his hips, his thighs, and now he was trembling, fists clenched, tears dripping even more steadily into the tepid, cloudy water, no one had ever touched him there, at least she was wearing her own face now, but please, please stay away from there, you said you wouldn't touch me there and if you do then why am I here why am I letting you do this why do I keep letting people hurt me if I just stood up for myself more if I wasn't such a coward maybe I'd still be-
"You're rather pathetic, aren't you?" Asmodeum mused as they cradled his face, turning him towards them. Erebus blinked away tears, just now realizing that they'd finished cleaning him, the tub already drained. He couldn't exactly argue, crying and shivering like he was, so he just swallowed and gave the tiniest nod as he pulled himself together, hoping it'd be enough to get them to move on.
With a satisfied smile, she unhooked his wrists from the faucet, but left the manacles on as she pulled him up and out of the tub. He tried to cover himself as best he could as they toweled him off, hoping theyâd stop touching him or at least give him clothes soon. Thankfully, they did, handing him a small bundle, and upon unrolling it he found...a pair of shorts that barely reached his knees, and that was all. Once heâd put them on, she dragged him into another room and let go, crossing her arms. âKneel.âÂ
âI donât-â Asmodeum raised an eyebrow, and Erebus stopped himself. They were expecting him to obey their every little whim if he didnât want to be...he knelt, staring at the floor. She circled him a few times, and he clenched his fists in his lap, hating how much of his body was on display. Not that she hadnât already seen everything.
âYou were just made to kneel, weren't you? Absolutely gorgeous." Erebus's face burned even hotter than before. All he could hope was that they'd be done with him soon, but he'd never specified how long this would go on for when he agreed to it, so this might lastâŚHe was such an idiot, why did he just go along with this without any negotiation?
Asmodeum stopped in front of him. "Well, what are you in the mood for, dear? Pain,â her hand slid under his chin, tilting it up, âor pleasure?â
âPlease just-anything but-â he choked, and she just laughed.
âAnything, you say? Then, I think...I'm in the mood for this.â They grabbed his collar, yanking him up onto the nearby bed. Before he could even try to sit up they were on him, wrapping themselves around him, worming in between his shackled arms, forcing him to embrace her back. A shudder ran down his spine as her skin came into contact with his, her arms pinning him flush against her body, her legs tangling around his. âHave you ever been this close to someone, darling?â she whispered in his ear, their fingers stroking his hair.
âI-I, um, a few times but-âÂ
âAw, and youâre still nervous.â Her hand ran down the back of his head, stopping at his collar. âItâs so cute how you still wear this. Iâm sure you could get it off if you tried, so you must like having it on, huh? Do you miss your owner?â
âSheâs not-I donât-I just-itâsâŚâ he screwed his eyes shut, âI canât take it off, alright?!â
âSuch a dutiful little pet-â
âI wasnât h-her pet!âÂ
âYouâre so adorable when youâre in denial.â They stroked his back, rubbing around the base of his wings. Erebus just opted for staring at the wall, hoping they wouldn't touch his horns. âDo you know how lust demons feed, my dear?â
âBy eatingâŚ?â
âWell, of course, but not the same way you do. We feed off of humans, more specifically, their bodily fluids.â She smiled widely, showing off her fangs. âAnd I havenât had a meal ever since being locked up in here. I normally get my fix a different way, but, to be considerate of you, innocent little boy,â they shifted until their lips were right next to the base of his neck, fingers pushing his collar out of the way, âIâll settle for feasting on your blood.â
Her fangs sank into his neck, and he couldnât help but gasp at the sudden pain. He tried to breathe in calmly through gritted teeth as she sucked on the holes in his flesh, drinking his blood. Soon enough, his ears started ringing, and lightheadedness crept in. He gripped the chain between his wrists just too feel something solid, glad that he was lying down, at least. By the time Asmodeum pulled away, licking droplets of blood from their lips, a dizzy haze had settled over Erebus. He closed his eyes, tears leaking out as she snuggled back into him, just hoping that this would all be over soon. In fact, maybe he would just...let the blackness take him...just for a little bit...so he didnât have to be...awakeâŚ
Erebusâs mouth tasted like dried blood when he woke up, and Asmodeum was still wrapped around him tightly. She smiled when their eyes met. âDid you have a good little nap, my darling? I hope you donât mind, but,â she gripped his chin, her thumb stroking his lips, âI had a little bit of fun with you while you were out of it.â A bit of...wait is that why his mouth tasted like-
âW-you-you canât d-do that to me I-I donât-â his voice broke, and he couldnât breathe all of a sudden, no matter how many fast little breaths he sucked in, just get away, get away from me stop touching me donât do that to me please please I donât want that you canât do that to me you canât you canât I never wanted that not from you not from anyone and now now now I-Iâm-Iâve been-
He felt something solid press into his hands, and he realized that Asmodeum was standing in front of him, and that was his sword in his hands, he was sitting up now and that was his sword and Asmodeum was smiling they were holding out their arms to him they were ready they were ready they were laughing they were coughing up blood they were on the ground there was so much blood how much of it was his he wasnât sure he didnât know they reached up and he backed away he had to get away he couldnât stay here a second longer she was dead she was dead she was already crumbling away and he had to go he wanted to rip off his own skin he could still feel her touching him where where where were his clothes where was the key to these manacles he had to go he-
Erebus dropped his sword. He fell to his knees. He buried his face in his hands.Â
And he screamed.

What do English people call a close? You know, the stairwell bit where all the flats are in a tenement? If you go to visit someone at their flat, what do you call the bit where you wait for them to answer their door? That communal stairs⌠area?
("Modern AUs don't require research" MAYBE IF YOU'RE ENGLISH THEY DON'T đ)
#no i can't google it that just gets me âword that mean the same as close: near; next-to; intimateâ and so on#godddd it was bad enough to be reminded that they don't call juice 'juice' wasn't it#i think i should try to cut a chapter or two from my outline - at this rate when i finish 12 chapters there'll be 3 readers left for it đ#but the POV alternates which complicates cutting whole chapters out. hrm.#...wait there's no rule that says you can only post one part at a time is there? i could do it in sets of 3 or something couldn't it?#and that way nobody's forced to wait a week or whatever for the crucial Actually They Are Scamming Each Other reveal at the start#also i am starting to rethink the 'finish it all first' approach as it turns out i hate sitting on finished chapters and just get impatient#SO WHAT IF... what if i write the first three chapters and post those and then worry about the rest of it later?#it leaves the scary chance of it staying a WIP forever but i don't think anyone's on the edge of their seats for a sylki scammer AU anyway#OKAY I'LL DO THAT (feel free to try to convince me not to tho)#wait do they even have tenements in that london#a while ago i found out my address contains an unacceptable character because tenements are mostly just a scottish thing#and i was like âoh so THAT'S why websites refuse to believe it could be a real flat number?â nae tenements ootside the central belt! wtf!#...how do you even fit flats into buildings there then? do yous just arrange them in some weird tardislike liminal space?#where do you keep the stairs then? D:#*strange hand movements as i attempt to map out this bizarre topology that is apparently normal everywhere else in the uk*
