Terragaze: The Killing Moon part 1 [Other worlds] Prompt 8. Assassin (Heroes, Peter/Claire)
TITLE: Terragaze: The Killing Moon
AUTHOR: TaleWeaver
DISCLAIMER: Any characters you recognise are not mine; they belong to their respective creators and owners. These words, however, are my own
FANDOM / PAIRING: Heroes, Claire/Peter
RATING / CONTENT: NC-17. Sex and death.
SPOILERS: None - this is so AU that Claire and Peter wouldn’t recognise themselves. Not so much Alternate Universe as Alternate Reality. Needless to say, they’re not related.
PROMPT: Written for 50_alternates, Other worlds. Prompt: Assassin, substituting for #8, Brigadoon.
SUMMARY: As younger brother to the Doge of Terragaze, Peter of the House Petrelli has escaped numerous attempts on his life. But the lovely blonde girl standing by his bed will succeed - unless Peter can strike a new accord with her.
AUTHOUR’S NOTES: while I don’t pretend to any sort of historical accuracy (that’s the other table of prompts!), this is set in an alternate version of Renaissance Italy, which also affects Peter and Claire’s speech patterns - no slang here.
TRANSLATION NOTES: bella - beautiful, Maestro - Master (used here as a term of both respect and professional superiority, similar to the Japanese ‘sensei’), cara - dear, il mio amore - my love.
SOUNDTRACK NOTES: ‘The Killing Moon’ by Echo and the Bunnymen. When Peter and Claire reach their accord, ‘After dark’ by Tito & the Tarantulas
part 1: The sky all hung with jewels
