    Summary

    Bound by fate, a thrall-turned-Dragonborn meets a Dragonborn-turned-trophy.

    (AKA my take on a LDB/Miraak romance while staying true to Miraak's character, with soulmates themes. Loosely follows the events of the game.)

    Summary

    In the aftermath, a thousand and one deaths flash before his eyes, and Ares feels them all. Every sword. Every spear. Every knife.

    Over and over again, he breathes his last breath, sometimes at the hands of another soldier and sometimes at the hands of himself. He stares at his own face, caked in blood and viscera, and hates himself for loving it.

    War is his vice of choice. It is his lover. His best friend. His worst enemy. He hates to love it, but no matter how he tries, he can’t seem to escape its clutches.

    He’s not quite sure if he really wants to.

    - - -

    It’s ironic, isn’t it? Ares hates all of Poseidon’s children with a vengeful fury, and yet, in this new world of Christianity and Capitalism, Perseus Fucking Jackson is the closest thing he has to a priest.

    Summary

    Whatever Kaidan had been expecting from the Butcher of Torfan, this isn’t it.

    There’s nothing krogan-like about the soldier sitting at the table. The lethal gaze from the vids is watery and unfocused. The empty bottle in his hand isn’t a gun, but he clutches it like one. When the bartender delivers a fresh one Shepard doesn’t look up, merely pops the top off and takes another quick pull.

    This isn’t good.
    ~

    Sam Shepard and Kaidan Alenko, in the years before the Normandy. AKA, the slowest of slow burns.
