A03 | Commission Info

Boytoy 

Wesley likes to think of himself as a dignified man, but he is not stupid. Las Angeles is a dangerous city, one that has grown more and more feared and respected by the day. Its rising crime rate has done little to scare off its tourists that are distracted by the flashing lights of casinos. While its police presence cracks down hard on minor offenses, they leave the bigger players alone as much as they can, either too scared to risk their ire or they know better than to bite the hands that feed them their bribes.

For most locals, LA is beloved, but it is dangerous. Unlike the tourists, locals like Wesley know that there are bigger players on the field and know which areas to avoid, which places that are protected. Many of the bosses in the city have their own territories, and those that are smart know how to use that to their advantage to stay safe with their head down.

Wesley supposes that he has managed to do both of those own things, he muses, as his mouth wraps around the cock in front of him, his free hand taking when he can’t. there is a wet pop as he removes his mouth from the shaft. Shame he can’t really remember the bloke’s name, but his job is not to remember names (in fact, he is pretty sure his boss prefers he does not). His job description is much more simple - be the eye candy, please the boss, please the other members of the gang as needed, do whatever the boss wants. He just has to be the boytoy, the glorified sugar baby, and yes, that means getting involved with the biggest mafia boss of LA, but it also means gaining the most secured, most safe job he could ever hope for in the city. After all, as long as he keeps Liam happy, Liam keeps him safe.

Overall, it is much better than doing this on the streets with blokes who may hurt him or mug him or do whatever they want of him. At least with this job, he gets showered with expensive gifts and a nice place to stay. He always has a plan, in the back of his mind, that if worst comes to worst, he can always liquidate most of his belongings and gifts; that alone would be enough to pay for a good place. Sometimes he entertains the idea of doing just that - using it to go some place far away, somewhere better.

He sucks at the cock in his mouth as the man grabs at the back of his head, pushing him down to the base as the man shivers with his climax. Wesley spits it out without complaint before simply standing up, and taking a handkerchief from his back pocket to wipe at his mouth. He makes sure his entire ensemble is in order - the netted, transparent fishnet button-down is tucked into his tight black pants, the black bowtie is straight, and the g-string he wears is keeping his bits in place ( it mostly is, but it is straining with his raging hard on that he does not plan on satisfying soon).  He fixes his hair in the mirror, making sure his face looks clean.

He knows Liam likes him for his looks, Wesley is not stupid enough to believe otherwise. He would not even be in this business if he didn’t know blokes liked the way he looked. Being just past nineteen, he can only hope his good looks and boyish charm will last him a long time. ________________

Wesley knows his place. He stands to the left side of Liam as the man discusses business with one of his ‘partners’. Caritas, a nightclub deemed as neutral territory, is buzzing with nightlife as a showgirl sings a slow, bluesy song on stage. The patrons of the club are quiet as they discuss their business, or they’re too busy drowning themselves in liquor. Liam is the former, though he does not even pretend to hide his presence at the club.

Liam, who keeps his last name deeply protected, leans back in the booth, arms outstretched casually. The hints of pepper in his dark hair is the only sign of his aging and stress, his face more chiseled and conventionally handsome. Even in his tailored suit, Wesley can see just how fit the man is. He supposes that he has to be, with Liam running the biggest underground empire in the city’s history. No one dares to touch him or say anything to him and he knows it.

Wesley finds that type of confidence, and sense of safety, attractive. To be so free in a city so confining. To have that type of power over everyone. Being so close to the man, Wesley likes to think he can feel the power coming off the man, and he only hopes some of it rubs off on him.

Wesley hangs off Liam's arm, flirtatiously, leaning his face against his shoulder. Just behind the two of them stand some of Liam’s men, lingering protectively, ready to step in at a moment’s notice. Wesley does not pay much attention to what Liam discusses with the man across from him. He just garners enough pieces of information to know that the man is another boss of a smaller section, and that he is a man that pissed Liam off.

“Angel, I didn’t mean to -” the man stutters out, using Liam’s nickname among the underground.

Liam just hums, but does not seem interested in an apology. Liam does not look away from the man as he tugs at Wesley’s bowtie and then gestures toward his crotch. Wesley knows the silent command and does not hesitate, despite their audience. At the very least, as Wesley slips underneath the booth, he feels a bit more secure and not as exposed.

Wesley can still overhear Liam talking to the man as Wesley unzips his pants, slipping his cock out easily. One thing he learned quickly is that Liam is an efficient man, he cares little for the unnecessary; which meant he often went commando underneath those black pinstripe trousers. Perhaps it is Wesley’s efficiency that grants him so much favor from the mafia boss, combined with being a quick and quiet learner.

Wesley had seen a few others come and go from the gang, all in a similar position as Wesley. Playthings, eye candy, boytoys, escorts of all kinds. None lasted long; as far as Wesley can tell, he is the only one who lasted this long, making him the most experienced and clearly most favored. None of them know how to be as quiet as he is, or how to listen, to keep your composure no matter what is asked of you or what is done in front of you. Wesley Wyndam-Pryce, unlike the others who rotated through the doors, is a gentleman.

Though there is a bit of sense of safety, free will and choice that Wesley feels seeing so many willingly leave without any harm makes him feel secure that what he is doing is his choice. If he wants to leave, the door is open; but knowing what it is outside of those doors makes him perfectly content in where he is.

As soon as the zipper is undone, Liam’s cock springs free, hard as a rock and already dripping with precum. Wesley immediately starts, parting his lips to take the tip of Liam’s cock in his mouth. He starts slowly, teasing his boss as he slowly takes his shaft in his mouth, little by little, until he chokes on the base. He comes back up to take a breath, before sliding his mouth back on Liam, still going slowly as he bobs his head on his cock.

Liam never says much to Wesley, with Wesley being quick to catch on to Liam’s silent commands and orders. Liam’s hand goes to the back of Wesley’s head as he sucks down on his cock. Never once does Liam look down at him, simply looking at the man across from him evenly as he continues to talk business. The only warning Wesley gets is a twitch before Liam cums in his mouth, holding Wesley’s head in place as he does so. Wesley swallows; he only ever gets to swallow for Liam. ____________________

Wesley’s job consists of something very simple with simple, few rules. Always do what Liam asks, and Liam’s orders always are the top priority; it never mattered what anyone else said, if Liam said something else, Liam is the one obeyed (and often, ones who did try to give contradicting orders were often quickly gone or publicly beat). Always be in Liam’s bed at a certain time, clean, primed, and ready for him. And when it comes to the others, Wesley is to simply do whatever they want him to do, provided it is without violence. Liam made it clear that no one is to hurt him, that his skin is to always be soft and clean, free of scars and bruises; nor is he to ever participate in certain acts of violence even if asked. But when it comes to sexual deviancy, there is very little Wesley is not allowed to do and even fewer things that Wesley would not do.

Which is why Wesley takes it when there is three men around him. He feels exposed, but comfortably so, as he sits on his knees, ass in the air. One of the blokes has his hands around Wesley’s waist as he pounds into Wesley’s ass. Another one stands close by, wanking their cock with low groans. The third one Wesley takes in his mouth, hallowing his cheeks out as they pound into his mouth. He chokes and gags, saliva building around his lips as he struggles to keep breathing.

“You’re just so fucking tight,” the man behind him groans, slamming his cock into Wesley with a grunt.

The one inside of his mouth is close to finishing, Wesley can feel it in the way that they twitch and throb in his mouth. Wesley only briefly looks at Liam, who is settled a bit further away, talking to someone else. He looks nonchalant, but Wesley notices the way Liam pays close attention to what is going on in his place of business.

The one inside of him follows the rules, pulling out to release on Wesley’s ass, careful to not finish inside. The one standing beside him finishes off immediately, favoring Wesley’s back. The one in Wesley’s mouth - Wesley’s eyes widen in shock as the hands on the back of his head force him to stay in place as the cum spills into his mouth. He refuses to let Wesley go, whispering a forceful command to swallow. Wesley does not, the cum spills out the sides of his lips as it pools into his cheeks. He struggles to breathe as the hands get tighter on his hair.

He barely notices the way the two other men quickly distance themselves from the situation. He only realizes just how far they’ve gone when the man inside of his mouth is pulled off of him with a terrifying force. Wesley immediately gags and spits everything out, gasping for air as he rubs at his sore throat. Liam looks scary, his eyes dark and hooded as he towers over the man that he knocked to the ground. The bloke who broke the rules barely gets his cock back into his pants before a knife is pointed at his crotch. Liam holds the knife threateningly at the bloke’s cock, and only briefly looks away to look at Wesley.

Wesley is in the process of cleaning himself up, scrambling to get his pants back on and tuck the fishnet shirt back into place. He keeps his expression calm, but he fears his eyes give him away as he meets Liam’s gaze. Liam’s gaze hardens, but Wesley does not feel for a moment that it iss aimed at him.

Liam barks out an order and Wesley is swept away and out of the room just as the bloke lets out a scream. _________________________

Wesley does not see Liam for the rest of the day. He assumes that since Liam did not immediately call for him to get out, it meant that he still had a job, thus Wesley continues his day as normal. At the designated time, Wesley is already in Liam’s bed. He smells of scented oils and lotions, and he made sure to take extra care of his appearance tonight. The lingerie he wears makes him feel like the trophy he is and he lays on Liam’s bed, waiting - and he waits, and waits.

Liam doesn’t come in. Wesley can feel himself starting to drift off, but shakes himself awake, knowing it’s best to be up and aware until he is dismissed. He is just closing his eyes for a minute when he is startled awake by the door.

Liam saunters into the bedroom, looking disgruntled, but at least clean. Wesley can tell the man is fresh from the shower, his wet hair clinging to the nape of his neck. Like most nights, Liam comes in only in a luxurious bathrobe.

“No one else bothered you today,” Liam questions softly as he cusps his hand under Wesley’s chin, gently forcing him to look up at Liam. He looks Wesley over carefully, as if trying to find any marks or signs that someone hurt him.

Wesley shakes his head.

“No one,” Wesley swears.

Liam seems pleased by the answer, slowly closing the gap between them as he draws their lips closer, “Good. Those boys should never forget that you’re mine. I just choose to share you. If they ever break the rules when I’m not around, you tell me.”

Wesley can feel Liam’s breath against their lips. His heart begins to pound wildly as his eyes flicker to Liam’s lips in anticipation. One of Liam’s rules rings in the back of his mind - only Liam gets to kiss him. Wesley’s cock starts to throb, already getting painfully hard.

“If those boys start to push their luck too much I just might change my mind one day,” Liam mutters, “I might just decide to keep you all to myself.”

Wesley groans as Liam finally kisses him. His hands go to Liam’s neck, pulling him close as Liam climbs into the bed, careful to not break apart their kiss. Wesley groans into the kiss as he feels their clocks brush against each other, both hard and straining for more friction.

“I will make sure those boys never forget that you’re mine,” Liam swears as he climbs on top of Wesley with a desperate growl.

Wesley says nothing as the lingerie he wears is torn apart, shreds of thin fabric being sent across the room.

“I will buy you new ones,” Liam promises as his hand trails down to Wesley’s cock, “ Better ones. Hell I will buy you an entire damn store.”

Wesley groans as Liam begins to stroke his cock. Liam grasps him tightly as Wesley throws his head back, his toes curling. Wesley is embarrassingly already close, whimpering as Liam pumps his cock.

“You can cum for me,” Liam edges him on, as he runs a thumb over the tip, “Then I will slam my cock into that ass of yours.”

Wesley shivers as his cock throbs, his climax spilling over into Liam’s hand. Liam doesn’t mind, only smirking before he adjusts Wesley’s legs into a more comfortable position. Wesley’s ass is already ready for him, and Liam takes a second to appreciate the view before he begins to slide his cock into him.

“You’re mine,” Liam growls out as he starts to fill Wesley, making sure to go down all the way to the base.

Wesley squirms, never quite getting used to how large Liam is. He groans as Liam starts to pull out only to slam back into him with force.

“Say it.” Liam demands, looking Wesley in the eyes as he slams his cock as deep as it can go. “SAY IT!”

Wesley writhes, “I’m yours. All yours.”

His voice comes out breathy and in between gasps as he struggles to form a coherent thought. Liam becomes an animal, grunting and growling as he slams into Wesley. Wesley shakes with each thrust, feeling the way Liam stretches him out.

“Only I get to fill you,” Liam growls, “I’m the only one who gets to finish inside of you.”

Wesley knows, but he still nods, fumbling words in agreement. Liam seems satisfied by the way Wesley coos under him, panting heavily as his thrusts become more sloppy.

“Only you,” Wesley repeats. “Only you get to finish -“

Wesley gasps as he feels the way Liam climaxes inside of him, filling him to the brim. Liam lets out a few more strained grunts, pumping himself a few more times for good measure before finally pulling himself out.

He takes a second, towering over Wesley with a thoughtful look on his face before he collapses into the bed beside him. Wesley takes his time to regain his breath, but is carefully aware of the distance between them in the bed.

He is painfully aware of the rule about cuddling, and never overstaying his visit. Wesley stands, his legs shaking under him and starts to gather his spare clothes. Liam watches him carefully, before he throws his head back on the pillow as if frustrated with himself.

“Stay.” Liam calls lazily. “I came in late anyway, you might as well sleep here.”

Wesley stops, faltering at the breach of their agreement. He swallows thickly, “Alright, I will stay.”

Wesley goes toward the couch, but Liam snaps his fingers and then motions to spot beside him. Confused, but willing, Wesley crawls into the bed. His sore body aching to finally lay down. He tries to keep a distance, but Liam closes the gap on the bed, wrapping his arm around Wesley.

By the time Wesley finally manages to gain the courage to ask why, Liam is already asleep.

This all stemmed from my need to write a mob au and an inside joke. As well as the fact that Anakin deserved to have a not fucked up life. The title says it all. The Les Mis, Hamilton, and Buffy are basically cameos, the main parts is Star Wars and Fantastic Beasts, as well as some original characters. Very basically, what would happen if you had a small town added two mobs and threw in a serial killer? You get this fic.

A List of Older Fandoms for Quarantine Viewing

I thought it might be fun to put out a list of older fandoms or smaller fandoms that might be of interest to folks here.  As we’re all still stuck with quarantine, perhaps you’re looking for some new/old media?  Perhaps this list could help?

This is halfway between a rec list and a charting of my own fandom history.  For anyone looking for some new fandoms to check out that are various flavors of interesting and a little older, check ‘em out! 

Feel free to add your own!

In no specific order (other than maybe my DVD shelf??)

Patrick O’Brien books/Master and Commander - this was a fairly good-sized fandom back when the movie ‘Master and Commander’ came out.  A must-watch for anyone who likes historical fiction, age of sail, and powerful homoeroticism.

David Drake’s Royal Cinnabar Navy series - did you ever want Master and Commander in space, but Stephen Maturin is a librarian named Adele Mundy who is a sharpshooter and utterly terrifying and wonderful and beloved ace representation?  Fair warning: this series contains grapic descriptions of violence from an author who’s still working through his Vietnam PTSD.  Here be dragons.

Adam Adamant Lives! -  an Edwardian adventurer got frozen in a block of ice by his arch-nemesis The Face, thawed out in 1969, and now fights crime with a young woman sidekick and an actor-turned-butler who spouts limericks.  It is a completely insane show and joyously dumb.  Everyone involved is having a whale of a time.  It’s hard to come by, but so worth watching it for the pure silliness.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - I can’t believe this has become a fandom some people haven’t heard of, but here we are, far enough out from the massive cultural impact of Buffy that I need to remind folks.  1990s series about a cheerleader-turned-vampire slayer, struggling with both the supernatural and with high school (which is much worse).  

Angel - spinoff of Buffy, and in some ways my preferred series?  It has so many problems, and the writing of seasons 3 and 4 is quite weak, but the characters are strong, the stories are solid, and Alexis Denisof’s Wesley Wyndam-Pryce remains one of my favorite character arcs in television.

Marble Hornets - here’s another fandom that doesn’t feel like it should be old, but it’s now over a decade since its premiere.  One of the early webseries, Marble Hornets is still one of the best.  Well done horror with occasionally iffy amateur acting, easily overcome with a surprising touch for cinematography.  I’m a sucker for amateur film, especially when it’s well done and ambitious.

Babylon 5 - This was the first fandom I posted about on here, and still one of my great loves.  Arcs before arcs on television were a thing.  Huge overarching stories playing out over seasons.  Great political intrigue on a space station.  The grandest, most tragic Shakespearean romance that ever played out between two middle-aged alien diplomats.  

Carnivale - HBO prestige show before they had prestige shows.  Bought the DVDs on the cover art alone, and they were so worth it: “1934.  The Dustbowl.  The last great age of magic.”  Like most HBO shows, every possible content warning does probably apply to this show, though it’s not nearly as extreme as Game of Thrones, so if you could watch that, you can probably watch Carnivale.

Firefly - space western courtesy of Joss Whedon.  Only one series long, but really well done.  Probably Whedon’s best work.

Homicide: Life on the Streets - early 1990s police procedural with a twist: it wanted to be a very accurate, realistic portrayal of a homicide unit, based on a documentary novel.  The characters all feel real, you’re certain they all smell like cigarettes, coffee, and sweat.  Also, can we applaud a show that has a female homicide detective who doesn’t wear makeup, has frizzy red hair, and never wears heels?  Kay Howard is such a fantastic character.  Frank Pembleton and Tim Bayliss and John Munch and Gee are all such wonderful, real characters.  Another great show for prestige-television-before-it-existed.

The Last Detective - British detective series about a detective who gets small, mournful cases ignored by everyone else and solves them mostly through dogged work rather than brilliance.  This show is the most melancholy show I have ever seen, shockingly good in the quietest way possible, and remains one of my favorite detective series ever.

M*A*S*H - have you ever wanted a proper tragicomedy billed as a sitcom?  There’s a reason this show is still considered the greatest sitcom ever made.  Fair warning: the early seasons really haven’t aged well, and a lot of the comedy doesn’t land.  But if you’re willing to stick with it to the later seasons, you’ll find a show that shifts toward one of the greatest tragicomedies ever.  

Sapphire and Steel - 1970s/1980s British horror/sci-fi show about two mysterious beings that appear to resolve science fiction reinterpretations of horror concepts.  Despite a shoestring budget, the writing is phenomenal, and the acting is perfect, particularly the icy intimacy between the two leads, David McCallum and Joanna Lumley.

Sherlock Holmes - before the modern interpretations, there was the 1980s series starring Jeremy Brett.  If you want the single most accurate interpretation of Conan Doyle’s work, with characters who feel and look like they’ve stepped off the page (and the series that singlehandedly rehabilitated the character of Inspector Lestrade), this series is a must-watch.  This has been my go-to comfort viewing for years.

    Also, if you’re a Sherlock Holmes nut, and you’re desperate for more content, and willing to navigate a Cyrillic DVD menu for subtitles, might I suggest the late 70s Russian Sherlock Holmes series?  Vasiliy Livanov’s Holmes is such a different interpretation of the character, and he’s a delight.  And Vitaliy Solomin’s Watson is possibly my favorite Watson ever.  He’s so done with everything.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - sort of the forgotten middle child of the Star Trek series, but in many ways it’s one of the most ambitious.  It was a rival/developed at the same time and somewhat by the same team as Babylon 5, so there are some striking similarities (space station, overarching stories, etc), but while B5 manages the political intrigue better, DS9 does a war better.  It’s the darkest of the Star Trek series, investigating the more tarnished edges of the utopia.  The characters are more deeply developed and flawed, and I love them all.  Andrew Robinson’s portrayal of tailor-with-a-mysterious-past Garak is probably the best character Star Trek ever created in any series.

Hope those of you looking for new things to watch and dig into might find something in this list!
