Title Notes: I always like to make the title suit the story, but with a somewhat esoteric twist. And so I thought about this one pretty much the entire time I was writing it. And then "Obeisance" popped into my head. It made complete sense, given the situation in the story.
According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, the
definition for "obeisance" is as follows:
1 : a movement of the body made in token of respect or submission : BOW
2 : DEFERENCE, HOMAGE
Author’s Notes: Where do I begin? I suppose the challenge that spawned this fic would be good start, eh? This was written for
projectjulie for the Laura Roslin round over at
getyourtoaster on LiveJournal. The actual assignment I got was as follows:
prompt 1
character you want paired with Laura Roslin: Tory
up to three things you want to see in the story: "as you wish, Madam President"; co-conspiracy; thigh-high stockings
up to two things you don't want to see in the story: excessive guilt; Tory as a pushover
preferred rating: dirty
prompt 2
character you want paired with Laura Roslin: Caprica!Six
up to three things you want to see in the story: theology; politics; hatred of Gaius
up to two things you don't want to see in the story: easy answers, peacetime
preferred rating: dirty
prompt 3
character you want paired with Laura Roslin: Galactica!D'anna
up to three things you want to see in the story: a strategic alliance between state power and media power; a struggle for dominance; thigh-high stockings
up to two things you don't want to see in the story: New Caprica
preferred rating: dirty
All three options had their appeal, and I spent pretty much the entirety of the three weeks between getting the assignment and yesterday trying to determine exactly what I wanted to do. Although the Roslin/Six pairing really intrigued me, if only because of the whole Roslin as the Cylon god theory that I espouse so deliciously.
And then when I started writing this? I was at work, of all places. Waiting on hold for an idiot customer. Got about 200 words written during that half hour or so call. It's always amusing to write smut of any kind while at work. It really just makes me giggle, but I do it anyway. I used to do it in class when I was in college, too.
And lastly? I like writing kink, okay? It fascinates me in ways I can't always explain. And this was the first time I've ever written breath play. It was an intense ride, to say the least, and was actually completed in about 4 hours. I just hope my recipient likes it… I know a couple of my kinky BDSM muses certainly do…

shatterpath, as per usual
Dedication: to the Grail, aka Carolyn Roselane .. One of the kinkiest muses I know…
