    Summary

    A hand lands on Julien's shoulder as he curses and swears. His arm aches. Tears crowd into his eyes, betraying his body with their very presence. 

    "You went for my heart," Vaelus says quietly. Her voice is cool like riverwater, even-keeled and sure. "That was a killing blow." 

    "Fuck," Julien spits. He tries to wriggle out of her grip, but she holds firm. Her other arm is pressed down against his collarbone now, keeping him pinned uncomfortably on the ground. "I thought you were one of them! I had no way to know." 

    "You're eager to get into another fight tonight, Sir Davinos."

    Julien's emotions are pent-up to a dangerous degree.
    Vaelus has a lot of patience. And a lot of practice with restraints.

    Summary

    The sound that escapes Occtis's mouth is completely unintentional, a crack in the perfect self-control of death. A small squeak, utterly undignified - but more than enough to send Julien scrambling upright, hissing in shock. 

    "You are awake, Tachonis." 

    Uh-oh. He sounds venomous. It's the tone of teachers, and parents, and figures of authority. The tone that means you've gone and done it now, boy. When Occtis was younger, he never understood what the it in question was. Now, dead nerve endings tingle, trying valiantly to paint his face with an embarrassed flush. The pieces of the equation he's been missing fall into place.

    Oh, no. Oh, fuck. He's miscalculated. Badly. He knows this it a bit too well.

    Occtis can't sleep anymore.
    He hasn't mentioned this fact to his companions.
    Some awkwardness ensues.

    Summary

    It's an innocuous thing. It's just another piece of armor. Well, all right, fine, it's not. It's ornate, and sharp, and scary, and it obviously means something to Sir Julien Davinos. It means something, because his father had one as well, and according to the recap that Thaisha gave Occtis late at night when no one else was listening, Julien threw himself back through the Palazzo gates to claim it from his desiccated corpse.

    It means something, because Julien wears it all the time.

    Occtis has developed a fascination with Julien's weaponry.
    Surely this can only play out healthily for them both.

    Summary

    No damage was done. He'd kept the upper hand. Tachonis had already come, and Julien had been so blissfully close to toppling over the edge. So surely he can be forgiven for indulging in a few more kisses than he might have otherwise. Surely his lack of witty retort against the boy's soft-muttered words is totally explainable. 

    The memory may be recurring, but that is all it is. It's a sickening, heady little fantasy - a thing that will stay trapped in Julien's chest, where it belongs. He's sure that the boy has already forgotten about the whole entire incident. Give Julien a little bit of time, a few more battles and someone better to bed, and he'll be able to do the very same. 

    Julien Davinos is at the end of his rope.
    Surely an ill-advised hookup with the Tachonis boy can't make it any worse.

    Summary

    He intends to use Occtis as bait. He's said as much to his face. They are not friends. They are not comrades. They are barely allies, and most days, the ice-cold silence between them makes even that label seem deeply laughable. He is treating Occtis like a threat, like a stick of blackpowder that might explode at any moment. 

    It's not inaccurate. Not on the logistical level, obviously. His father and brother could be planning anything with his heart; Occtis wouldn't damn well know. But it's not inaccurate on the personal level, either. It's more accurate than Sir Julien really seems to understand.

    Exploding sounds violent, and dangerous, and warm. It might be nice to find some way to explode. 

    Occtis Tachonis is in dire need of a distraction.
    Surely an ill-advised hookup with Sir Julien Davinos should do the trick.

    Summary

    "Julien needs to keep an eye on him (or in this case tightly clasped hand around his arm), and Occtis can leech his warmth as the nights grow darker and colder and the possibility of him freezing solid becomes a genuine concern.
    This, the party knows about; the sex they do not."

    Julien is refusing to look at his feelings about any of this.

    Summary

    THELYSS: I think I could have floated beside him in stasis forever, ignoring the obvious. Once he offered the precise object of my desire, which I had been concealing from even myself, I panicked.

    INTERVIEWER: And what did you say to him?

    THELYSS: We fought about it. We had to. In the Nein, it is prerequisite for doing anything.

    WIDOGAST: In the end, it was about fear, as it always is.

    — The Mighty Nein's rocket to fame involves more drama, mystery, abuse, sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll than any columnist can resist, but media accounts until now have been mostly secondhand. Tabloids and vultures run with the facts in the opposite direction, smearing half-truths and outrageous accusations onto any blank space, taking silence for admission.

    It definitely doesn’t help that Thelyss admitted to stealing the Mouthpiece of the Luxon on national telellusion.

    The following timeline contextualizes Widogast and Thelyss’s individual music careers, their collaborations, and the events surrounding a) the crimes of Volstrucker Records CEO Trent Ikithon, and b) Ikithon and Martinet Ludinus Da’leth’s undiscussed roles in the Mouthpiece of the Luxon Scandal.

    Summary

    "You'd best try your experiments on me," Julien says acidly. He's rewarded with a sharp inhale from the boy, one which he knows full well Occtis does not actually need. "I'll be down in the cellars tonight, if you insist on continuing your scientific work. If anyone is equipped to take your magic in stride, it is I. Just leave those poor flowers be." 

    He's certainly suffered enough wounds at the hands of the Tachonis already. Better the boy play with fire under his eye, rather than behind his back. Better that Julien judge Occtis Tachonis's new abilities up front, so that he can best defeat them, should the need arise. 

    And besides - he's a wizard, for Shapers' sake. A low-level, books-based, necromantic wizard. Julien can handle him just fine.

    Occtis has some magical experiments to try.
    Julien, as it turns out, might just be the perfect test subject.

    “You must know it’s only a matter of time before I blow a hole in your brainstem, zombie. You’re fucking me on borrowed time. Both of you.”

    Pyrrha’s hips flexed up against her. The voice in her ear was a rumble: “Nothing gets me hotter than a countdown clock.”

    In wartime, Commander Wake has a run-in with Pyrrha Dve, and they both bite off more than they can chew.

    Summary

    The dress was a gift from an auntie: too small, in an unsubtle hint for Ma Xiuying to lose weight, flimsy teal polyester that would be knee-length if she ever put it on, which she hasn’t. Instead she shoved it in the back of her closet because she would’ve felt guilty about throwing it out, and somehow it’s followed her from the house in Chuzhou all the way back to Beijing, where it now hangs, questioning, in Wang Baoxiang’s hands.

    Ma Xiuying, between selves.

    Summary

    “Fuck, it’s that bad?”
    “Worse,” Pyrrha says. “But you should take it. It’s a career-starter if I’ve ever seen one. Nine weeks on the West leg of the tour, opening for a First House band.”
    “Say the name. Say the name right now. Say the name of the band, say the name. Dve, say the name of the band.”
    “SARPEDON,” Pyrrah says, with the reluctance of someone speaking the name of a long-forgotten god whose dedicants worship by pissing just left of the toilet.

    Nine weeks touring with a nu-metal band they hate. How bad could things possibly get for the Rocked Tomb? Drummer Gideon Nav, bassist-vocalist Harrowhark Nonagesimus, keyboardist Palamedes Sextus, and guitarist Camilla Hect are determined to find out.

    This fic is complete, and will update every Tuesday.

    They've lent each other skills during this liminal time on the bright First planet: Gideon has learned when to shut up, and Harrow has learned how to lift her weight. They read each other like one of Harrow's precious books.

     

     

    More prosaically: Gideon gets the strap (but first they have to get there together). Written in response to this amazing artwork from the TLT kinkmeme, thank you anon!

    Summary

    For a moment you worried that, come another myriad, you and she might be able to carry on such a conversation: that you would know her intent by the twist of her mouth and her exhalation, to the point where you could speak without dialogue. (Harrow the Ninth ch. 29)

    Usually, two of the stars form a close binary system, and the third orbits this pair at a distance much larger than that of the binary orbit. This arrangement is called hierarchical. (Wikipedia, I admit.)

     

    Harrow's office is still down the same gray hallway. Ianthe doesn't think the furniture has even been rearranged in the past few decades. The keypad blinks red, but the door was left just barely open: an engraved invitation. Ianthe taps her access code in anyway, enjoying the faint sensation of Harrow's ward tasting the thalergy from her fingertips.

    This is a far-future canon-divergent AU in which Harrow never stops being a diet Lyctor, never remembers Gideon, and is entangled by the centuries with Ianthe. *jacking-off motion* Sorry, Gideon lovers, see you next time!
