    Summary

    Simon waited.

    Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.

    But that never came.

    Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”

    Simon blinked slowly. “What?”

    Summary

    Refusal comes first. After refusal comes the breaking. Once broken, he wants. What he wants, he has to be good, to get. What he wants, is...
    Whatever Phil wants.

     

    The leader of the losing team becomes Bolas's attack dog. It is too easy for Phil to exploit the ferocious protector of all, easy to make him think he is nothing but a pair of arms and a set of jaws for someone else to command. Days in Purgatory last too long and Etoiles succumbs to the 'training' he is put through, proving his belonging to Phil in a bloody trial.

    Summary

    In which two deeply damaged people try, badly, to offer each other olive branches without mistaking them for weapons--or turning it into a sex thing.

    (It's definitely a sex thing.)

    --

    (Trans!Grace repeatedly gets the rug pulled out from under him. Simon continues to require several therapists. Unfortunately, there are still no therapists on Erid.)
