fic snippet (snazzy evil accessories edition)

Haven't posted any ficbits in a while and it's Monday, so here, have a little of a Gounod Faust fic I chip away at every so often. It's set right after the end of either Act 2 or Act 3, depending on which version you're using, and Mephistopheles has some time to kill while The Heterosexuals Are At It Again.

I'm totally picturing this as set in the McVicar/ROH production, by the way, which is set in Second Empire France so that's why they have cigarettes.

--

"Stay away from me," Siébel says, holding up his fingers—he'd dipped them in the holy water font earlier this evening; maybe that will help ward him off, or at least ward off any other spells he tries to cast. "I don't have dealings with sorcerers."

The man's laughter in response is utterly without mirth, and does not reach his eyes. The sound of it makes Siébel's skin crawl.

"I assure you, dear boy, I am no sorcerer," the man says. He smiles, apologetic but equally without mirth. "I'm afraid we've started off on the wrong foot."

"You put a curse on me!" It sounds silly, now that he's said it aloud, and yet he knows it's true.

The man makes a clicking noise with his tongue and shakes his head, smirking indulgently. "Only a bit of fun," he says. "Anything would wilt, in this weather. A boy your age ought not to be so superstitious."

Siébel feels the corners of his mouth turn down. He's never been what anyone would call superstitious, usually, at any age. It isn't even as if this man is exactly wrong about the weather, or about the delicacy of flowers. But there's something about his presence that gives Siébel a prickly feeling and a metallic taste in the back of his throat. He should run away, he feels, or at least say something suitably defiant, but before he can do either of these things, the man produces a silver cigarette case from inside his jacket, withdrawing two cigarettes and holding one out to Siébel, eyebrows raised in a silent offer.

"No, thank you," Siébel says, already resolved not to accept anything from this man. The curse, petty as it was, had been bad enough.

The man smiles grimly as he returns one of the cigarettes to its case. "Filthy habit, anyway," he says, raising the other cigarette to his lips. The glow from its burning end illuminates the lid of the cigarette case, where engraved figures dance around a golden calf—in the faint red flicker of the flame they seem to be moving indeed, and Siébel shudders. He realizes he hasn't seen the man light a match.

Tagged FOREVER AGO by @demonlikejudgeoffire​, thank you!! (And sorry for taking ages to respond :P astoundingly, I actually did not forget this this time, it just took literally this long before I could write a single word skdjfhsk)

Ahem, anyway:

“All right,” she says eventually, once she can trust her voice not to waver, “drinks next time.” 

“Only if they’re on you.” 

“No way, you’re the tenured university professor.” 

“Yeah, and you’re like — a superhero or something? Or a security firm boss thing, whatever. What is it you do these days, actually?”

“Security firm boss thing,” Jung Heewon repeats slowly. “Wow.”

Absolutely ZERO pressure, plus I’ve no idea how many of y’all are actually writing these days, but in case you would like to share the (approximately) last line you wrote (even if it was years ago! seeing how hard it was to even write two sentences these past few months, I will open the temporal net wide lol): @imperiousphasmid, @theaggresivepacifist, @diminished-fish, @rain-hat, @drivingsideways and genuinely anybody else who wants to share what you’ve got! I am simply greedy and would like to read all of them :D
