The Ending

I suppose this was inevitable. Aloe and I had a falling out back in August of 2018, and even before then, she no longer had time to write with me anymore. At this point, I feel that I have to do this in order for both myself and Voidster to have closure. Voidster needs to be able to move on with his story and his relationships with other muses, without being held back by his damaged relationship with his mate, G. 

If you haven’t already, you can read about Voidster and his mate here. I consider this to be the conclusion to The Sin Mansion, but I’m still unsure whether to post it on AO3. I’m sorry about this. I know a lot of people shipped Voidster and G, but I no longer have the heart to write them together. Everything comes to an end eventually. (This story mentions spokenwithhands’s muse, (not by name), but it is primarily about allocatealoe’s muse, who is also called G. Sorry for any confusion!)

He rested his palm against the cool glass of the window. It was winter, but the snow on the ground had been melted by a steady downpour of rain. Outside was grey and dismal, much like his mood. Every time he returned home, he found himself spending less and less time there. G actively ignored him most of the time. When he wasn’t ignoring Voidster, he spoke in the flat monotone he had affected for dealing with humans, primarily. A voice he used on strangers, not with his mate.

The girl rarely left her room now, and Voidster let her be. He had touched her only once since they had brought G back from the brink of death together, and her typical reaction of fear and disgust had unnerved him, somehow. Instead of soft human flesh in his grasp, he had seemed to see a fragile, skeletal limb. He had expected to look up and see a fearful half-face spilling over with indigo galaxies and stars.

Since then, he had left her alone. And in turn, G had taken more interest in her. He moved her things to the bedroom right beside his office, and spoke more frequently with her, as if she were his equal. As if...he cared for her. While his soul spilled over with disdain for Voidster, his mate, he showed only tenderness to the human. At first Voidster wasn’t sure what to make of it. Now, the pieces had begun to fit together, and the shape of the puzzle left him shaken.

He wouldn’t normally have heard his mate approach, but since G’s leg had been crippled, he made the faintest whisper of sound when he moved. Despite the surgery, despite Voidster’s best efforts to repair the damage he had done, some consequences of his insanity remained. The slight limp that now affected G’s leg was the least of these consequences.

“You’re home.” He hadn’t expected G to make the first move, to open the conversation. G had not sought Voidster out since they had returned from the prison, where G had gone to die. Against the slight ache in his soul, Voidster turned. As he expected, G’s face was flat, expressionless. When he spoke again, his words were too.

“I want you to leave.”

Hearing G say this stirred memories within Voidster. Memories of when he had first arrived in this timeline with the intent to stay. G had tried everything to force him to leave. He had tortured Voidster, tried to kill him, even tried to fling him back into the void. But Voidster wouldn’t leave. He’d had nowhere to go, and G presented a worthy challenge for his abilities. A strong male that intrigued and enticed him. He had stayed. And then, when Sun had died, G had needed him to stay. He had finally embraced Voidster, as Voidster had always dreamed of happening. He had wanted him, he had even said he loved him.

For a long time, it was enough for both of them. G was in agony over the loss of his human mate, and Voidster provided the comfort he needed, in the form of specialized torture and vicious sex that left them both aching and satisfied. And it kept escalating. They kept pushing each other harder and harder, fighting and making love with the ferocity of beasts. They cared for their human pet together, and tortured other, different humans together in an effort to replicate her shimmering gray soul. The research had been intriguing, but more than that, it had been a thing that further bound them together. A common purpose that gave them something to strive for besides mutually assured destruction.

There were no subjects in the basement now. It was silent and empty, the black stains of G’s blood still splattered on the table where Voidster had destroyed his leg. That room had been the one he always used when G was hurting and in need of the tender therapy of his blades. Now it had been violated, saturated with remembered hatred and violence. Voidster couldn’t bring himself to enter, even to clean the mess that had been left during his rut.

G would never forgive him for what he had done. That much was clear. It was shown in the loathing in his face whenever Voidster entered a room. It was shown in the bitter silence that had settled between them like an impenetrable mist.

At first, Voidster had thought...had hoped...that this recovery would be no different from the rest. It was hardly the first time he had hurt G, had scared him, had broken trust. But once G had recovered from his time in the human prison, it was clear this was not the case. He had bitterly blamed G for being so spiteful, for being so implacable and unforgiving, at first. But slowly, over time, he had come to realize the severity of the damage he had done. Not just physically, but emotionally.

G made a noise in his throat, and Voidster glanced back up at him, then felt something on his cheek. He slowly raised his claws to face, and felt shocked when they came away wet. He was...crying? How strange. He cleared his throat, and finally said, [Very well.]

G nodded slowly, and Voidster continued. [How long do you want me to leave you for? You realize I have hardly been here, I have given you space, as you have seemed to desire it. But you can’t patrol the entire property by yours-] “Forever.”

Voidster halted, shocked. Forever? G couldn’t mean that. He needed Voidster. Yes, he was angry at him now, and would perhaps never forgive him for what had happened, but Voidster was still needed to help protect the property from intruders, to watch over G, to eventually warm his bed again. He gave a weak chuckle, running his claws over his skull in a sweeping motion, stopping when he realized his hand was trembling.

[Forever? Don’t be dramatic, G. You know that you need me here, a-and besides that, this is my home.]

G’s expression hardened, the white pinpricks of his eyes standing out in the shadows of the still room. “This was your home,” he corrected slowly, his voice cold and static-laced. “No longer, Voidster. I don’t need you like I once did. I don’t want you.”

The cold in G’s voice was nothing compared to the freezing sensation in Voidster’s soul. He felt numb, this couldn’t be happening. He hadn’t expected G to forgive him, but to say he no longer needed him? To say that he no longer wanted him? G was lying, he had to be, but as Voidster searched his face, he found no trace of a lie. The ice in his heart was pierced by a searing heat, and he took a step forward, angry. [How dare you. After everything I have done for you, after everything we have shared together! Have you forgotten my promise? If you abandon me, I will unleash the full force of my rage upon this world, I will destroy everything you hold dear. Is that what you want? For the girl to die? For your human friends to die?]

G remained motionless, his eyes narrowing. “That was true, once. But now? If you carry out your threats, Voidster, I will ensure that the people you have come to care about find out what you have done. If you destroy this timeline, it will follow you to every timeline you visit thereafter. I will ensure it.”

Voidster paused in his tirade, suddenly cautious. [What are you talking about?]

Sneering, G took something from his pocket, tossing it toward him. Voidster’s phone landed on the floor with a soft thump, the screen opened to a picture of the eldritch being he had claimed as his pet. The one who shared G’s name, but little else with the hateful lich standing before him, except perhaps Voidster’s care for them both. Voidster was silent, staring down at the phone, at the picture before him.

“You were far from subtle about your relationship with him, Voidster. About your friendship with the others in that timeline you’ve been visiting. Did you think I would not notice your wounds having been healed after our fights? That I would not notice their scents upon your hide? You did nothing to hide the pictures or messages on your phone from them. And I have the information to contact them, now.”

His mind wasn’t working, all he could do was stare down at the picture of that familiar, beloved face. If his pet found out...if Bird found out...surely he would never be allowed near them again. The bar he had come to regard as a second home, the room he had been given in Bird’s home...he would lose that.

The threat he had made to destroy G’s timeline had been made almost two years ago. Yet so much had changed in the past few months. Voidster had never believed he was capable of coming to care for anyone but his mate. And yet...the thought of losing his pet, of losing the others he had grown familiar with...it filled him with dread.

[You are making me leave because of this other male? Because of this other timeline?]

At that, G looked almost amused, giving a slight shake of his head. “No, Voidster. I’m not angry that you’ve found someone new to torment. I am...relieved. I am relieved to be rid of you. You were my own personal demon for far, far too long. Now you are somebody else’s cross to bear.”

Voidster felt the sting of those words, flinching slightly at the venom in G’s voice. He had known G was angry at him, he had known that G had not forgiven him. He hadn’t known that G had grown to hate him so much. His naturally violent and volatile nature struggled to surface, but it was subdued by the pain and dread saturating his soul. Stooping, he picked up the phone, slipping it into his trouser pocket with a gentleness that belied the extremity of his emotion.

“I’ve packed your things, and left them on the kitchen table. Your blades, your instruments, the drugs, the trinkets you’ve collected. All of it. Take it and go. Go to that other timeline, and never come back.”

A pained snarl was building in his throat, burning and aching to be released. But he refused. His face felt like a mask, too stiff and heavy to reflect the turmoil within him. G had given him no choice. But there was one last thing.

[And the girl?]

G paused, then said slowly, “She is mine now. Consider her your payment for the pain you have caused me. Besides, where would you take her? Your friends don’t know about her, do they? They don’t know how you’ve hurt her, how you’ve raped and tortured her.” [It was no more than you did!] He said with a snarl, his claws clenching into a fist. [Acting as if you had never taken her against her will, as if you had never harmed her. How amusing.] He wasn’t amused, he was furious. [Tell me, has your weakness for human girls finally won? Will you make her your new mate when I’m gone? Love her until your soul breaks from it, and you finally shatter into dust when she dies? FINE! I wish you both the joy of your suffering!]

His words didn’t seem to affect G as he had hoped. The other man simply shrugged, his eyes never leaving Voidster. “That is no longer your concern. What happens to her...what becomes of me. That is a story you are no longer part of.”

Voidster’s shoulders sagged. His anger drained from him, leaving him empty and aching. [You truly want me to leave.]

“Yes.”

[Then, there is nothing more to say.]

“No. Take your things and leave, Voidster. I wish…” G paused, a distant, almost pained expression in his eyes. “I wish that I had never met you. You’ve brought me nothing but pain. Leave me in peace, now. It is the only way your debt can be repaid.”

Voidster was silent and motionless, the white noise of the rain enveloping them both. His soul seemed to shudder within him, the fractures growing deeper and wider. After several long moments, he finally stirred, forcing his foot to lift, forcing himself to take a step toward G, to walk past him to the kitchen.

When he was near, when he felt his mate’s heat, when G’s scent drifted into his jaws, he almost faltered. He wanted nothing more than to turn and envelop the smaller male in his arms, to keep him, to refuse to leave. How he ached for the comfort of a single embrace, a touch, any sort of connection. But G stepped away from him, and the moment was over. Shoulders slumping, Voidster kept walking.

He walked into the kitchen, and saw some unfamiliar luggage on the table. G must have purchased it just for this. For some reason, that thought hurt even more. There wasn’t much to carry, just the barest remnants of the life he had shared with the lich, of the work he had done here with him. He was leaving behind much more than he was taking.

He gathered the bags into his arms, holding them for a moment and looking around, committing the details of this home to memory. When movement caught his eye, he paused, his gaze lighting on the girl. She was in a pale nightgown, her long blonde hair falling down to her waist. She didn’t look surprised, he realized. She had known, G had told her. Of course he had.

Rallying himself, he inclined his head toward her, unable to hide his pain. [Pet,] he rumbled, and she met his eyes warily, her hand gripping the doorframe.

“What is it?” she finally said, her voice barely audible.

For a long moment, he didn’t speak, bowing his head. Then he raised it, his eyes glittering with unshed tears. [Take care of him.]

She hadn’t expected that, he could tell. But she smiled a little sadly, and nodded. “I will, Voidster.”

[Good.]

He didn’t want to leave. He didn’t want to do this. For a moment he even forgot how, his magic swirling uncertainly within him, not remembering how to access the void. Then he thought of his pet, of that other home in his pet’s timeline. Not his true home, but now the only place he had left. Instinct took over, and he finally stopped fighting it, letting his magic draw him away. Forever.

[wahoo-stomp]

Summer!

Meaning TSMS and TTRA will finally start to be updated regularly, beginning Wednesday or sooner! I’m finally back to being able to actually write stories (and now we have an illustrator from the daily Poke blog community, which is an added bonus)! Can’t wait to get back to it! Hope to see you there!

Best Day n Night Ever!

Kemaren lagi gabut ga jelas eh dichat Ikang taunya suruh nemenin dia kondangan, ya udah deh mau aja daripada bete di rumah  plus mayan makan gratis haha. Buset ngedadak banget ngajaknya dalam 1 jam kudu udah siap -___-. Untung udah mandi jadi tinggal dandan sama ganti baju doang. Tapi tetep aja sih dandannya yang lama apalagi kalo kondangan kan kudu pake eyeshadow dll.

Awalnya aku mikir karena yang nikah temen kampusnya Ikang ah paling ga ada yang kenal ga bakal ketemu siapa-siapa. Eh ternyata aku SALAH BESAR!!!!

Pas baru sampe parkiran aku ngeliat sekilas cewe pake kerudung putih di atas mirip Nana, eh ternyata emang beneran dia sama Nday. Kok bisa ya?

Trus yang lebih ga nyangka lagi sih pas abis ngambil makan trus nyari kursi eh ketemu Aisha sama Ali. WHAT??? Sumpah sama sekali ga nyangka kalo bakalan ketemu banyak temen di sini. Gokilnya ternyata Nana sama Aisha ini saling mengenal padahal dari lingkaran sosial yang berbeda. Eh ngerti maksudnya ga sih? ya udahlah ya.

Gils gils sumpah Bandung panas banget sih parah. Ini mah di jalan makeup daku luntur semua, eh ga luntur sih tapi jadi cakey gitu di bagian idung kzl beud. Mana ga pake kaos kaki gils punggung kaki rasanya kayak dipanggang =.=

Mana Pasir Impun dari Borma Ujungberung belok trus luruuuuus aja mana nanjak lagi. Emang sih banyak perumahan tapi sepi gersang berdebu gitu. Jauh kemana-mana, susah pasti kalo malem-malem ngidam siomay apalagi sekoteng.

Untuk mengademkan cuaca dan hati mampirlah kita ke Pepo Appetite buat makan dessert hehe. Emang deh Ikang paling tau banget tempat-tempat gaul ngehits. Di sana kita pesen Mango Slushies apalah gitu sama Berry Dragon Sorbet. Sumpah enak dan seger banget si Mango itu. Jus mangganya kentel banget trus di dalemnya ada macem-macem nata de coco, lupa ada apa lagi, dan di atasnya ada 1 scoop es krim vanila gitu. Kesegaran yang hqq pokoknya wkwk #alaybeud

Padahal Berry Dragon Sorbet apalah yang aku pesen itu recommended gitu loh di sana tapi zonk banget ternyata tidak sesuai ekspektasi. What i’ve got is a bowl of puding yang ga ada rasanya T.T, buah naga yang diancurin, potongan mangga, kiwi, sama leci. That’s it. Aneh banget ga sih dessert masa ga ada manis-manisnya? Patah hati deh </3

Akhirnya pesen 1 lagi menu yang sama sama Ikang tapi take away buat dd. Huuu baik banget deh Ikang terharu.

Karena sorenya udah janjian sama Lurry mau ke TSM buat liat Suhay jadi langsung pulang deh. Eh ternyata malah papasan di jalan haha.

Begitu sampe rumah langsung cuci muka, ganti baju, trus touch up buat ketemu Suhay. Masa ke event beauty tapi caludih? Ntar ga kece dong kalo foto bareng Suhay haha.

Sebenernya talkshownya mulai jam 4, tapi kita ga keburu gara-gara kelamaan dandan zzz. Ya udah bodo amat deh ga dengerin talkshow yang penting lihat Suhay in real life dan foto bareng kalo bisa.

Kita sampe sana jam 5 dan pas banget kita mau ngantri sesi foto sama beauty vlogger abis huhu. WHAT?? Coba aja kalo kita tadi cepetan dikiiiiit aja, udah dapet deh tuh foto bareng Suhay hiks hiks. Sebenernya masih ada sih sesi foto, tapi beauty vloggernya ganti. Ada Kiara Leswara, Cheryl Raissa, satu lagi lupa haha. Kiara jadi makin cantik sih pake kerudung, sebenernya pengen foto sama dia juga tapi males ngantri. Ya gimana dong udah terlalu kuciwa haha. Maybe next time, who knows?

Tapi emang dasar Lurry hoki pas Suhay mau balik lagi ke venue doi minta salaman bentar trus selfie dan akhirnya dapet deh tuh. Trus pas giliran aku mau selfie pake iphone dia (biar sekalian) eh malah salah kepencet power, hpnya mati, dan Suhay berlalu begitu saja. What a lyfeeeee ToT

Trus mbak-mbak Wardahnya bilang ntar para beauty vlogger ada lagi jam 7, kalo ada kesempatan bisa foto. Lurry mah enak udah dapet foto udah lega, mau pulang sekarang juga oke aja. Lah gua? Nalangsa atuh euy syedih kuciwa. Tapi karena masih penasaran dan ngarep akhirnya kita memutuskan untuk nunggu sampe jam 7.

Sambil nunggu kita cuci mata di Miniso trus makan di Hokben. Ternyata puding coklatnya Hokben itu lekoh banget ya? Pudingnya coklat vlanya juga coklat, giung jadinya. Trus kenapa licin banget ya Tuhan? Bukannya happy malah bikin emosi makannya, kayaknya bikin turun berat badan juga deh saking kzlnya zzz.

Nunggu jam 7 kerasa lamaaaaaa banget, kirain mah udah jam 7 beauty vlogger muncul lagi. Ternyata ga, muncul sih tapi buat nonton performnya Vidi Aldiano. Harus nunggu perform Vidi Aldiano beres dulu baru bisa foto, kalo bisa.

Tujuan kita ke TSM kan cuman buat ketemu dan foto sama Suhay, tapi performnya Vidi Aldiano beyond our expectation sih. Ya itu mah emang kitanya aja yang ga punya ekspektasi apa-apa haha. Gils luaaaaaaaaaarrr biasaaaaaaaaaaaa! Padahal gratisan haha.

Di awal sebelum perform dia bilang di sini dia sebagai entertainer dan bertugas ngehibur kalian semua, dan semoga kalian pulang dari sini (TSM) dengan hati yang bahagia. Ya emang tugas entertainer kan ngehibur orang, tapi baru kali ini denger penyanyi kalo mau nyanyi nyampein intro kayak begitu. Tapi baguslah berarti dia sadar tugas dan kewajiban dia apa haha #ngomonguopotoh

Dari yang aku liat dan amatin selama dia perform he is humble, komunikatif, dan lucu. Dia bisa banget ngebawa suasana jadi lebih santai, asiklah pokoknya.

Ga tau sih maybe this is just me being sotoy toh ga bener-bener tau keseharian dia gimana, tapi dari yang aku liat sekilas it seems like he is such a faith believer. Keliatan religius soalnya selama perform suka bilang masya Allah, subhanallah gitu. Trus ada kan pengunjung yang godain Vidi mulu sampe ga fokus dia ngakak miss the song gitu trus dia becanda “digangguin makhluk kayak gitu gara-gara belum salat isya kali ya”. Pas dia bilang gitu wow it amazed me, jadi penyanyi terkenal kan pasti sibuk banget tapi masih tetep ngejalanin kewajiban. Salut!

Jadi malu sendiri mahasiswi tingkat akhir pengangguran terselubung suka gabut ga jelas malah kadang lewatin salat isya.

Sebelum dia nyanyi pasti dia ceritain background lagu itu, ada lagu galau yang diciptain sama papanya, lagu gadis genit diciptain karena terinspirasi dari fansnya, dll. Bagus sih kita jadi tau proses gimana akhirnya sebuah lagu itu tercipta. #naonateuh

Pas dia perform kan pake cardigan abu , kaos putih, sama celana jeans sesuai dresscode event Wardah. Gils suaranya keren banget sih somehow bikin merinding gitu haha eargazm trus ga ngebosenin soalnya banyak improve di sana-sini.

Penonton lumayan penuh trus aksi dia juga mayan heboh wira-wiri jigkrak-jingkrak ya iyalah kepanasan. Udah nyanyi kayak pencak silat trus pake cardigat uuh bercucuran keringet deh.

Tapi cowo ganteng kalo keringetan itu sexy ya? Apalagi sambal nyanyi hehe.

Sumpah suaranya bagus banget sih trus bisa banget ngehipnotis kita buat nyanyi bareng. Dia ga pernah makan gorengan apa ya? Jernih banget suaranya.

Malem ini pecah benget sih, parah. Vibenya kerasa bangeeeet!

Fix sih mulai malem ini jadi vidies haha. I’ll listen to his songs even more.sih mulai malem ini jadi vidies haha. I’ll listen to his songs even more.

Udah ganteng, suara emas, pinter, attitude bagus kalo kata Soimah joss gandhoslah pokoknya!

Nyanyi marathon 10 lagu lebih kan ga gampang. Capek dan yang pasti staminanya kudu bagus.

Ya meskipun pegel berdiri tapi worth deh karena puas dan ngerasa terhibur banget.

He is such a truly entertainer and a good artist. A good artist inspires other people to do or make something. Dari ngeliat performnya dia, aku jadi kepikiran buat nulis post ini.

Akhirnya beres juga Vidi nyanyi. Tapi masih ada satu lagi yang masih ngeganjel yaitu foto sama Suhay. Begitu penonton lain bubar langsung buru-buru ke depan buat foto. Ya gimana udah nunggu hampir 3 jam cuy cuman for the sake of foto sama Suhay. Takut Suhay keburu balik lagi ke hotel.

Dan akhrinya dapet yeay! Mission completed. Alhamdulillah

Sekarang aku paham kenapa aku tadi sore ga bisa dapet foto sama Suhay ternyata malah dapet bonus nonton Vidi yang memukau, gratis lagi hehe. Coba kalo langsung dapet meureun geus balik tiheula haha.

Emang sih awalnya aku sedih & kecewa ga bisa foto sama Suhay. Bisa ga ya foto sama Suhay? Masa pas kebeneran lagi di Bandung udah liat udah ketemu masih ga bisa foto sih? Ngarep mah masih tapi ya udahlah usaha dulu aja nunggu sampe jam 7 (meskipun akhirnya bisa foto sekitar jam 9an). Moral of the story never give up guys! Meskipun kesannya kayak kecil gitu kesempatan kita, tapi coba aja. Dan jangan pernah putus asa, terus berharap meskipun harapan itu cuman 0,0000001%. Who knows? Udah ah naha jadi sok bijak gini.

Overall makasih Wardah udah bikin acara ini we love you!

And for lurry i can’t thank her enough to take me to this event

Best satnight ever!

I was talking to @stealthnerd about the idea of Spot teaching the boys how to build snowmen. Spot isn’t great at it but they get the general idea. G is very meticulous and creates a perfect snowman. Voidster has to make the tallest snowman, gives it logs for arms, and an eggplant so it’s anatomically correct.

[skellylicious]

G: -actually wearing a shirt for once-

Spot: Hey G, that’s a nice top.

Voidster: [FUCK YOU, I HAVE A NAME.]

[skellylicious]

Voidster is Still an Aries

And G is still a Virgo.....

[skellylicious]

Chips brings G a dead squirrel, he gets praised and petted. Voidster gets jealous and comes back an hour later, drops an entire deer on G's desk. Blood splatters everywhere. [NOW WHO IS THE BEST BOY?]

[skellylicious]

Void & G Recreate the Office

Voidster: You know what? I made you a cd. G: You did? That was nice of you. Voidster: This is to play when you bring a woman back to your hotel room. Recording: [Voidster in a low voice] Hello. My name is Voidster. If you are listening to this you are a lucky woman G has seduced. Ahh to be in your shoes. What's next, you're probably wondering. Don't be scared of your night in heaven...!

[skellylicious]

[g you're breaking my penile code]

"that's not what that means"

[skellylicious]

Sometimes Voidster’s imagination runs away with him. He was always pretty sure G preferred sex with him vs sex with his wife, Sun. (Original Voidster by @stealthnerd)

(Original G/Lich Gaster by @allocatealoe)

[skellylicious]

Voidster sees G and Sun kissing again, and just can’t take it anymore. He runs outside and digs up the sprinklers, acting up because he’s not getting enough attention. G has to go outside and calm him down. Voidster is lying face down in the mud like he’s dead, says in a muffled voice, [I just feel like you love her more than me.]

[skellylicious]

Voidster Showers

It’s all fun and games until the hot water runs out.

Voidster sighed as he undressed, leaving his stiff and bloodstained clothes in a rumpled pile on the floor. The shower steamed behind him, tiny droplets of moisture causing his hide to twitch as they landed. G had gently, but firmly, informed him that they wouldn’t be having sex until he showered- an annoyingly common request by the lich. Actually, more of a command. He frowned. G may act submissive when it suited him, but his mate was deceptively authoritative with their relationship.

Naked, he took a moment to admire himself in the mirror. His pale, scarred body was lean and muscular, the lines of his torso and abdomen leading the eye to his well endowed manhood. The smears of old blood and dirt only enhanced his appearance, in his mind; lending a rugged, masculine aesthetic. Not that he needed the extra help, but it irritated him that the lich could not appreciate such things as he did. The passing thought that perhaps his mate simply preferred his natural appeal did much to improve his mood, however, and Voidster found himself preening as he thought of the appreciative eyes of the lich trailing down his body.

He set his claws on the counter and leaned toward the mirror, baring his fangs and narrowing his violet, catlike eyes. Raising one hand, he placed his claws thoughtfully around his features, letting his squirming violet tongue extend outward as he contemplated his own face. Yes, he was extremely handsome, he decided, not for the first time. The startling bursts of color that were his eyes and tongue contrasted well with the whiteness of his hide and fangs, while the slight black fissures leading from each eye lent a certain drama to his expressions.

His gaze dropped back to his body, and he idly traced the healing tissue of his newest scars, which had been acquired during his dawn patrol of the property. He had been experimenting with his agility, leaping from a large boulder to a larger dead tree, and had misjudged how much weight said tree could hold. The trunk had shattered under the impact of his landing, throwing him partway down the side of the cliff that bordered part of the property. He hadn’t told G about this particular misadventure, gauging that the lich would not have found it as impressive as he had. Especially the part where he had used mostly his claws and muscle to climb back up to solid ground.

The mirror was becoming fogged, which was easily remedied with an impatient swipe of his large hand. He turned around, eyeing his well-muscled back and sculpted buttocks with his head twisted over his shoulder. He was more or less a perfect specimen of masculinity. He should go unclothed more often, he decided. It was a crime to cover such a perfect and inspiring physique. G’s insistence that he wear clothing around the house must be mostly based on the impossible distraction of seeing Voidster naked. He would never get any work done with such temptation, otherwise.

He turned back around, taking appreciative note of his sides in the mirror, twisting his body to enhance the appearance of his chest and waist. He raised his arms, placing his hands behind his head as he flexed, watching the muscles shift and define themselves. He was completely oblivious to the presence of his mate, who had finally come to see what was taking him so long, and was now standing in the doorway with an amused expression on his face.

“Very impressive.”

The static-laced tone of the lich startled Voidster so badly that he jumped, whirling around to stare blankly at G, who returned his gaze with equanimity. A slight violet blush suffused him, grimacing as he dropped his hands, feeling awkward and exposed.

[You...you unlocked the door,] he said after a long, startled pause. The realization that his attempt at privacy had been so casually discarded left him scowling, despite the fact that this was not an uncommon occurrence. G habitually unlocked doors, even when there was no reason to do so.

“Indeed. When I realized the water had been running for nearly forty-five minutes, I became concerned for you.” G was smirking so heavily as he said this, the tips of his fangs were visible. “You seem to be in need of assistance.”

Voidster rolled his eyes, shuffling irritably to the shower and inching slowly toward the water. He couldn’t help baring his fangs as the now lukewarm stream hit his skin, shuddering in distaste. He threw a petulant glare over his shoulder, but was startled to see that G had already undressed, and was approaching the shower himself. He huffed, a line still creasing his brow as he turned back to the water, feeling his mate nudge him forward.

[I know how to wash myself,] he muttered balefully, as G reached past him for the soap.

“I know,” the lich replied behind him, lathering the soap over his mate’s broad back. “And yet it never seems to actually happen unless I am here to supervise you myself.” He lightly smacked Voidster on the back of the head as the larger man fidgeted under his touch. “Hold still.”

[I am holding still.] The lich ignored him, vigorously scrubbing at his legs, lifting his feet to wash the pads of his toes as if he were completely helpless. Despite his grumbling, Voidster felt relaxation begin to settle over him as he was groomed, and didn’t protest when G turned him around in his arms, silencing him with a kiss.

“Hush, this isn’t so bad, is it?”

Voidster remained silent, eyeing the soap in the lich’s hand. G raised a brow at him, running the bar slowly over his disgruntled companion’s chest, washing away the filth and grime that had coated him for nearly a week now. He paused at the shoulder, wondering again what these scars were from, and why Voidster was so tight-lipped on the matter. They had appeared after G’s rut, but Voidster flatly insisted that the lich himself had nothing to do with them, and would say nothing more.

He also noted the healing wounds along Voidster’s ribs, but decided against asking about them, for now. There was an easy way to put the other man in a better mood, despite how adorably he sulked.

He let his claws trail teasingly down Voidster’s belly, setting the soap aside as he worked the suds around his mate’s stirring erection. His mate’s breathing deepened, resting a clawed hand on G’s shoulder as water ran down the length of his body, rinsing him clean. Kneeling, G let his hot breath wash over his partner’s cock, flicking his tongue outward to teasingly lap at the water droplets that gathered like dew on the hard flesh before him.

A heavy pant burst from Voidster’s lips as he gazed down at the lich on his knees before him, G’s hands rising to rest on his hips. Water spilled over his broad back, his frame blocking the spray of water from hitting his mate. Steam wreathed their bodies, rising in tendrils as G gave him a devilish smirk, ducking his head forward to thread the hole in his tongue against Voidster’s aching shaft. He was rewarded with a stifled grunt, Voidster spreading his stance and nudging his hips forward into the hot mouth of the lich. His free arm hit the shower wall above G, scattering droplets of cool water around them as he leaned heavily against the porcelain tile.

[Fuck-] he ground out, claws splaying as he felt his length slide down the lich’s throat, sheathed perfectly, as only G could do. His claws tightened on G’s shoulder, and the feral growl that trembled through the lich’s throat built a delicious sensation that seemed to resonate within his very core. G stared up at him, his white eyes meeting Voidster’s half-lidded violet gaze with a lusting intensity that made it impossible to look away. His full lips rested briefly at the root of Voidster’s cock, before drawing back with agonizing, blissful, strokes.

Drool slipped from G’s mouth as he worked his partner with immaculate detail, never breaking eye contact as he suckled and licked the shaft in his mouth. Voidster huffed, unable to control his slight, involuntary thrusting as his mate slid his tongue up and down his manhood. The way that G stared up at him only further ignited his passion, knowing full well that this was only foreplay, simply the beginning of what would surely be a long night of lovemaking.

G dug his claws into Voidster’s hips, drawing pinpricks of blood. Salty beads of precum soon slathered over his oily tongue, signalling the nearing of his partner’s release. With quick, sure movements, he built the other man up, feeling the muscles of his thighs wind and tense beneath his fingers. It wasn’t long until Voidster released a raspy groan, releasing the lich’s shoulder to clutch at his head, shoving his cock as far as it would go down his throat as he came. His claws kept G’s face pressed against his abdomen as he shuddered, long moments passing before he finally released him.

With a faint smile, G withdrew his lips, his own shaft hard and aching with need. He wasn’t worried, he knew his mate would rise to another round quickly, having such a voracious sexual appetite. It had been a small reward, a little positive reinforcement for his freshly washed companion, who had already shut off the water, and was eyeing him hungrily.

[Now…?] Voidster murmured, running a tender thumb over G’s lower lip, his other hand resting lightly on the lich’s hip.

“Yes, I think you are finally suitably clean,” G responded, a light grin tugging at his lips. “I put fresh sheets on the bed.”

[What a shame.] Voidster gave him a smug look, his fingers tracing up along the lich’s high cheekbones. [It seems that soon they will have to be replaced.] He chuckled, his voice low in his chest.

“Perhaps another shower will be in order as well,” G said teasingly, turning to lead his mate back into the bedroom. “It will take some time for the hot water to be restored.”

[Mmn, there is no rush,] Voidster replied, appreciating the view as he followed G. What followed was extremely gay and can in no way be described can I be done now.

A TSM Gyftmas

[G, if me and Santa got into a fight, who do you think would win?]

The lich paused in his writing, set down his pen as though he were about to speak, then picked the pen back up and continued to work.

Voidster frowned at him from across the room, where his large body was uncomfortably scrunched to fit into the window seat. His knees were almost tucked to his chest, and his clawed feet were braced against the wall. One arm dangled at his side, his knuckles resting on the floor. He was very bored, and G had forbidden him from going out into the snow, unless he also mopped the floor when he came in.

He tried again.

[G-]

Sighing, G set his pen down again, and turned to face his mate. “Santa isn’t real,” he said flatly, rubbing his temple. “If you insist on being in this room, do so quietly.”

Voidster frowned. [Spot said that he’s real and that he punishes humans and monsters who are bad.]

The lich rolled his eyes, continuing to write.

[He’s in many human movies,] Voidster persisted, sitting up. [G, why don’t we celebrate Gyftmas?]

This caused the other man to truly halt, giving up momentarily on the work he was trying to finish. “We never celebrate Gyftmas, or any other holiday for that matter,” he said, shrugging slightly. “You never cared before, why do you now?”

Voidster hesitated, glancing away. [...It would be good for the human pet. Her morale is low,] he finally said, ignoring the raised brow of his mate.

G knew that Voidster was a social creature, unlike himself. He had seen the large prints in the snow leading to the edge of the cliff near their home, where the other man could pace and stare down at the human city in the valley. From their vantage point he could see much. Fireworks, Christmas lights…

With every holiday that passed, G was plagued with memories of spending it with Sun, his deceased human mate. The sparkle in her eyes as she showed him the cut trees that humans displayed in their homes. Her grin of delight as he lifted the tree she had chosen with hardly any effort, bringing it and her back to their home. Decorating it together while Chip scampered back and forth, chasing the glittery strands of plastic, the twinkling lights. Sharing hot chocolate laced with a sweet, creamy liquor.

The memory brought a sweet ache to his chest, pressure building behind his eyes as he cleared his throat. “If you wish, we can have some minor celebration,” he said at length, not looking at Voidster. “Consult the human, she would know better than I how such things are done on the Surface.”

As he had hoped, his words sparked the other man to climb from his precarious seat near the windowsill, given a task that intrigued and distracted him. Hopefully it would last long enough that G could finish the bookkeeping for the day.

He wasn’t expecting Voidster to pause near his chair, and when he glanced up, he was startled to feel his mate’s lips brush against his own in a chaste, endearing kiss. Surprised, he raised his claws to his mouth, as Voidster nudged his temple against his own, then straightened and left the room.

The door closed behind him with a quiet click, and G was left alone in his study with his thoughts. Only now, his soul felt a little bit lighter, and the ache of loss was blunted by a warm, almost tender feeling. He wasn’t ready to let go of the past quite yet, but this year would be different from the ones before. He wouldn’t deny Voidster and Spot the joy of the celebration, and he would try to enjoy it too.

fluff 7? If that post was for requests? i really like your writing!

It was kind of me reposting for future references, but I can do requests. They’re good warm up exercises.7 - “I like it when you say my name.” 

G woke up slowly, vaguely aware of a large, warm presence behind his back. How unusual, Voidster almost never stayed in bed this late. The lich was used to waking up in an empty bed, the sheets rumpled and cool from his mate’s long absence. Voidster slept only a few hours each night, and was impatient to begin his day when he woke. He should be out, patrolling the property right now.

As G’s breathing shifted, he felt a muscular arm wrap around his waist, tugging him back against a broad, bare chest. [Finally awake,] the man at his back rumbled in a satisfied purr, lightly running his fingertips over the lich’s many scars. [I waited for you.] His hot breath beat against the back of G’s neck.

“I noticed,” the lich replied dryly, lacing his fingers with those of his mate. “I like waking up with you.” There was more behind that simple sentence, but he contented himself with stillness. To speak of the loneliness that gripped his soul, the grief that swelled when he woke in a bed without either his deceased or living mate, was unnecessary.

Voidster knew that he still grieved for the human woman he had loved, although G doubted that he understood what it meant to spend years waking up next to the person you loved, only to have that ripped away. To have the other man here, in those first agonizing moments of consciousness, meant more than he would admit, to either Voidster or himself.

He tucked the brief pang of loss away, basking instead in the heat and affection of his vibrant, living mate. He felt safe, protected, with Voidster’s strong arm around him, their legs entangled under the sheets. The other man’s spicy, masculine scent washed over him, soothing away the last fragments of painful memory, enveloping him in the current moment. Outside, he could hear autumnal rain beating gently upon the windows, a cool breeze filtering over their commingled heat. This was so peaceful.

[How do you feel?] Voidster inquired, a strangely considerate request.

It seemed this was a morning for rare occurrences, thought G, who took his time in responding. “At ease,” he finally murmured, a strange, soft smile on his lips. A long silence fell between them, and he listened to Voidster’s rhythmic breathing, his strong heartbeat.

[G…] the monster seemed at a loss for words, clearly feeling something in this moment as well, and just as clearly unable to describe it. G knew how emotions confused and frustrated his mate, and after a moment, he squeezed Voidster’s hand.

“I like it when you say my name,” he said gently, acknowledging the unspoken words.

Voidster sighed softly behind him, a sound of contentment and relief. The two monsters fell into stillness once more, secure in their love for one another.

TSM Coffee Shop AU

Now I want to write a coffee shop AU where Voidster is a barista who keeps writing his number on G's cup but G doesn't even grasp that it's a phone number because that's how little he cares.

Plus Voidster's handwriting is nearly illegible

G is like "how fucking hard is it to write a single letter on these cups, people aren't kidding about baristas fucking up names"

Then finally one day G is like "okay, why the fuck do you write these weird symbols on my cup, my name is just G, just the letter G, that's it." And Void is like [Oh.]

[That wasn't supposed to be your name.]

"WELL WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU WRITE ON THE CUP?"

[My uh. Phone number.]

"Oh."

[skellylicious]

Alternative TSM Coffee Shop AU

Alternatively an AU where G is the barista and Voidster buys massive amounts of coffee to get G to notice him

Then goes on a caffeine fueled rampage

Ends with G quitting in disgust, and Voidster following him home.

[I’m sorry I destroyed your coffee shop, can we be friends]

[I have a very nice penis if you want to see]
