NC17
75,000+ words
When Mark gets in a car accident Dustin and Chris have to call Eduardo back to California. No, not to play nursemaid. Mark's in a coma, but it turns out that all the code Dustin needs is locked down under a series of passwords that, with Mark out of commission, only Eduardo knows. The passwords are prompted from important moments in the evolution of Mark and Eduardo's relationship, which weave in and out of the movie timeline up until the current day. Contains heavy D/s themes, kink, next to no technical accuracy, and a happy ending.
Warnings
No non- or dub-con, but heavy kink play. Shouldn't be anything triggering, but those who prefer to be well-informed can highlight below for a complete list of kinks (in alphabetical order, not by significance or prominence). They are spoilers, of a sort.
Bondage, breathplay, D/s, emotion manipulation, exhibitionism, marking, orgasm denial, phone sex, punishment, spanking, slapping, temperature play, and all the standard fingering, rimming, dirty talk, oral, anal, &c. There is mention of various others, but no explicit description.
Part One Part TwoAnd silent, I answer 'You too-I have known you,-I love you!-'
And the shadows of tree-trunks and shadows of leaves
Interlace with low voices and footsteps and sunlight
To divide us forever
Remember (when time comes) how chaos died
To shape the shining leaf. Then turn, have courage,
Wrap arms and roots together, be convulsed
With grief, and bring back chaos out of shape.
Also available at the AO3 in one part.Notes
I don't know what to put here. I do have things to say - I just don't know what they are; or rather, I don't know how to articulate them. So for now there are none; later there might be. The only thing I know I want to say right now is that I hope this lives up to the expectations of everyone who knew it was coming.
