#reader/kith'rak voss

[des-no9]

class in session Reader/Kith'rak Voss 2.8K - E

You're a new sarth under Kith'rak Voss. Fresh blood. And he's going to teach you some respect. ---------------------- “Skipped that lesson,” you say, squeezing Voss’ hand, hard, “for something fun.” He laughs. And it’s low, and something you feel crawl through your hands, underneath your armour, mark leather. “Maybe,” runs tongue along his sharp teeth, walks you backward, “I should fill that hole,” pause, more steps back, “in your studies.” You hear the laughter of other riders in the yard as they watch. The stretch of dragon wings. Yawn of a crushing jaw.

Set when Voss was a lot younger (still an old man dw just under 1k), not long (relatively) after Orpheus was jailed. Enjoy :>

Lae'zel x Gith!Bard!Dancer!reader | Look at him go

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

The battlefield ahead would be unlike any other, a treacherous space teeming with Githyanki soldiers loyal to Vlaakith. Lae'zel was focused, her eyes alight with determination. By her side, you, her lover, prepared for the coming fight in your own unique way.

Kith'rak Voss and Prince Orpheus, both seasoned warriors, stood nearby, their expressions hardening as they took stock of the battlefield. They had already voiced their doubts about you considering your background as a bard and a dancer. They found your presence and profession strange for a warrior. You could almost hear their thoughts: A dancer? What use could he possibly be in battle?

As you all graced the battlefield on the legendary Tears of Selûne, you took a deep breath and began your routine. Music emanated from your lute, enchanted to play melodies that bolstered the spirits of your allies. You moved with grace, each step a precise and practiced motion that seemed to defy the urgency of war. Voss glanced at Orpheus, a skeptical look in his eyes.

"Is he… dancing?" Voss muttered, incredulous. Orpheus' brow furrowed, but he remained silent, waiting to see what would unfold.

Lae'zel stood by your side, her faith in you unwavering. She knew the depth of your skill, both in music and combat. As you danced, your movements began to change, growing sharper, more deliberate. The Githyanki soldiers approached, their weapons drawn, ready to cut down any who opposed them.

In an instant, your dance transformed. With a flourish, you spun, drawing hidden blades from your attire. The transition from dancer to warrior was seamless, almost mesmerizing. Your blades flashed in the light, and the first soldier fell, his throat slit before he even realized what had happened.

Voss's eyes widened. "What the—"

"Focus!" Lae'zel barked, slicing through another enemy, her movements perfectly synchronized with yours.

You continued your deadly dance, each step a calculated strike, each spin a lethal flourish. Your blades moved in a blur, cutting down enemies with a precision that left Voss and Orpheus speechless. The battlefield became your stage, the enemy soldiers your unwitting partners in this gruesome ballet.

Orpheus, finally shaken from his stupor, shouted orders to his troops. "Form ranks! Cover them!"

But you needed no cover. You moved through the ranks of the enemy like a phantom, your dance both mesmerizing and terrifying. The soldiers hesitated, their confidence wavering as they faced this unexpected whirlwind of death.

"He's… slaughtering them," Voss said, his voice tinged with awe and disbelief. "How is this possible?"

Lae'zel, amidst her own brutal combat, glanced at you with pride. "He is a bard, a dancer, and a warrior. Underestimate him at your peril."

Your blades continued their deadly arc, and soon the battlefield was littered with the bodies of your foes. The remaining soldiers, seeing the carnage, began to retreat, their morale shattered. You paused, catching your breath, the music of your lute still playing a haunting, victorious melody.

Voss approached, his expression a mix of respect and astonishment. "I've never seen anything like that. You… you truly are remarkable."

You sheathed your blades and gave a small, respectful bow, your eyes meeting Lae'zel's. She stepped forward, placing a hand on your shoulder.

"We are victorious," she said, her voice filled with pride and affection. "Thanks to you."

Orpheus nodded, still processing what he had just witnessed. "Your skills are… unparalleled. We owe this victory to you, bard."

You smiled, knowing that you had earned their respect, which meant you couldn't help but add "And dancer, I didn't do all those years of schooling just to be called 'bard'"

Lae'zel elbowed you in the side, perhaps you had gone a bit far in testing their acceptance but you couldn't help but smile, oh this was going to be a fun revolution.

Curious about WIP things - what is The monsters they made of us (Tribe) about? And Silver lines on your skin (i'm assuming it's about some illithid's scars?)

Would love to see some excerpts from it, if you are willing to share 🙏

Thank you ! :D ♫♪ (The following fics are among the top three of my darkest writing. Summaries may contain triggering subjects : Non-con (and dub-con later), violence, knife-play, blackmail, slavery, forced exhibition : readers beware !)

You are right : silver lines on your skin is about an illithid's scars, in a way ! The Prince of the Comet, Orpheus is freed earlier. Voss and his honor guards at his side, the Emperor captured. They do not kill him yet because he know much about the Elder Brain they will need to stop.

Orpheus, bored and curious about this ghaik who is acting against his own people, play and explore Emperor's body, inviting Voss to cut patterns on the Emperor's skin, to decorate him with his own blood. "I though you liked silver. The color of your sword, kith'rak."

- - -

The monsters they made of us are two stories where Blurg and Omeluum met in very different circumstances due to one of them not leaving the colony/tribe they were born into. In the tribe version of the story, it is Omeluum who get captured by Blurg's tribe. After another successful raid, Blurg is offered, without a chance to refuse, a slave to reward his efforts. The hobgoblin is too gentle and compassionate for his peers, and thus, this gift is punishment - and a test. He will have to prove his cruelty and ruthlessness by taking this illithid in front of the whole tribe. Neither of them want to be here, but Blurg knows he can not afford to fail to prove himself.

"You did well on the last raid, Blurg. I think you deserve a reward..."

TW NON-CON

some WIP thursday lmao

“You plan to keep this one” the gish had said to Kith’rak Voss, running two fingers over the welts deep and dark on the tieflings skin, the handprints twisted to wire around her throat; broken wings on her thighs.  Teeth marks above her cunt a crown. Voss did like to eat.  Feast, before he devoured. Voss didn’t really keep slaves. Pieces of them, maybe. Trophies scattered over the floor of his tent, some brought back to Tu’narath and placed on the Prince’s shelves, his own, in a strange mosaic of remembrance. Or just a piece of every Plane to coalesce at the centre of everything. All Planes lead to the Astral Sea; all blood bleeds to Tu’narath; all flesh tears between my teeth. “Fix her,” was all he said, twisting a clean strip of leather around his arms, hands. His long, brown-red hair was loose, a chunk on the floor by his feet that she’d pulled out.

finally....managed to write something. it's felt like 15 years.....

Would love to take some githyanki short fic requests if anyone wants 💜

Des' Masterpost

Hey I'm Des <3 Old. Writer, artist, sometimes cosplayer.

I write a lot about githyanki, their lore, culture and language from their beginnings, to now. I focus a lot on their 5e and BG3 verses, whilst expanding it into my own verses and HCs.

I mostly centre my writing around Kith'rak Voss and Prince Orpheus, and their relationship with my Tav, Vanquish.

Interactive novels

I've written a long interactive novel, Prince, Blade, Breaker, where you can interview Kith'rak Voss, Prince Orpheus and their mla'ghir and bondmate, Vanquish, deep into the githyanki rebellion against Vlaakith CLVII.

It's around 30k words in total, with accompanying art by myself and my friend Una. And you can play and download it for free on itch.io here:

I've also written a short interactive novel where you can meet Prince Orpheus for the first time as three different githyanki.

Play here - who are you, to the Prince?

WIPs

I've also recently picked up another of my interactive novels where you can romance Kith'rak Voss. I have a few other ongoing projects, so this will be slower going than others and less of a priority, but I'll still be picking away at it.

Any updates and chatter about my WIP interactive fiction here will be posted in the tag #interactive voss and #interactive novel

So I'm writing a little interactive erotic novel (involving Kith'rak Voss). But I'm at that point where I have to really make a definitive decision if I want the reader to decide what genitals they have, or not give that choice and just write the reader's genitals as vague and non descriptive as possible.

Of course, one option will give me a lot more work, but I'm just curious how much more enjoyment people would get out of it, if at all. Or it just doesn't really matter.

any additional thoughts welcome in the tags!

Des' fav BG3 fics...so far

Inspired by @mightymizora gonna do a small post of my fav BG3 fics so far with a couple of comments as reviews. I mean, most of my target audience has seen them I'm sure (our githyanki corner is small) but if you're ever interested in Voss and Orpheus and haven't read these yet, please enjoy <3

All of them are one shots, however my Orpheus/Voss/Vanquish fics are part of a series that spans from young Orpheus and Voss, during in-game Acts and eventually to post BG3 and the githyanki rebellion.

first among many Tav(Vanquish)/Kith'rak Voss 5k; E

When Voss visits their camp, revealing his and the githyanki's truths, Vanquish asks him to stay. For Lae'zel's sake, or her own?

"so do you want my first born? or maybe all my mortal possessions? my money? my entire life? nothing i have could possibly come close to repaying you for this absolutely delectable meal you’ve given us" "Well, now I have a new fixation. Thank you, this was wonderful."

V. Tav(Vanquish)/Kith'rak Voss 10k; E

Where a few weeks after her first night with Kith'rak Voss, her guardian pulls back the curtain and reveals all, and Vanquish makes an impulsive nightcall to Kith'rak Voss at Sharess' Caress.

"Never again apologize for something being "too long", you. I was lamenting my scroll bar nearing the end of the page well before any words actually ceased." "This is INTENSE. Vanquish and Voss are once again fantastic together in all their complicated sexy ambiguity.......but last of all: I love both the art and the dictionary! The created phrases and tir'su drawings add so much to what is already a fantastic fic."

the one who bleeds Orpheus/Voss 4k; E

A snapshot of young Orpheus and Voss and a look into their lives, the meaning of Orpheus' tattoos, and what it means to be the one who bleeds.

"Such poetry, my god, everything about this was dreamlike and wonderful, absolutely fantastic!" "This absolutely bangs. What a beautiful prose style! I love how it evokes the rhythms we hear in Tir’su......Absolutely thrilling to read."

godless grace Orpheus/Reader 5k; E

You're Prince Orpheus' saviour. And tonight he's going to thank you.

"Oh gosh, this one had me equally enthralled and on edge....You continue to write infatuation with Gith so beautifully, and I am here for it!" "I have read this several times just, enjoyment the whole way through. Finding words for this feels important, yet keysmashing in glee has been most of what I've had until now.......Gods. I really appreciate your attention to detail. It makes these works so much more toothsome and whole."

personal show Tav(Vanquish)/The Emperor (and the unwilling guest, Orpheus) 1.3k; E

Where Vanquish and The Emperor give the chained Orpheus a personal show.

"heellloooo!! i’m going insane" "what the hell dude this is POETRY so good <333 thank you for blessing this world with this fic"

[des-no9]

If you're still doing the get to know your fic writer, 26 and 55!

26: Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?

Two for very different reasons.

For BG3: godless grace - Orpheus/Reader I hadn't written a proper /reader in years and it felt SO out of my comfort zone and I was legit terrified writing this. I don't read /readers at all. I have enjoyed writing them in the past because they bring people joy and I love that !!! But...this was a wild ride for me because I loved writing it and reading it lmao. It awakened something in me and made me appreciate /readers a little bit more.

Also it's extremely horny and helped me characterise Orpheus more through sex and how he treats his partners and istiks during sex :>

For my other fandoms (this ones JJBA pt5): i should have never asked for black leather - Prosciutto/Mista I cried a LOT writing this fic. Like. It was an unbelievable emotional rollercoaster. I wrote all 15k words in like 5 days in an intense emotional journey and it was probably one of my most memorable writing experiences that created one of my most poignant and powerful fics, I think.

55: Of the characters you write for, which is your favorite? Has that choice been swayed at all by your followers/readers’ reactions to certain ones?

For BG3, no surprise but probably Kith'rak Voss. He's my blorbo. My husband my love of my life my no-one else can kill me but you.

But, he's also one, maybe the oldest, githyanki we know of (alongside Orpheus) and that just makes me a little insane trying to conceptualise and understand that. Trying to get inside the head of someone like that.

Things like: his journey of change - himself and his people identity - when do you just become that which you pretend you are holding onto a sliver of the love and affection crushed in his people - what does that mean getting back the love of your life who has been in a strange stasis while you were forced to move on, change balancing brutality, desire, kindness -and the list goes on lmao.

And maybe swayed by my readers. Because there aren't many of us haha! And those who do read my fics with Voss in them really do appreciate it and love him and have told me they enjoy how I portray him a lot so it means a hell of a lot.
