Dear Lee Jordan,
Spookie. The dudes from the office have started talking about ghosts. Yep, we have so much things to do. Funny how everybody has tales about ghosts to tell. Either you have heard of these tales or you have heard them, or you are not sure whether you have come in contact with them. I wish to say that ghosts are bullshit and people who believe in them are stupid and supersticious. However I can't do it because I have seen them. Now, I have seen them, it doesn't mean that I believe in them or that now I'll help them. Fuck it, I don't help the living, why would I help the dead?
Ghosts are a scary subject, but fascinating at the same time, as everybody share stories of freezing stories of dead grannies and people murdered who come back to tell someone living where they were murdered who was their killer. The five of us, Tati, Anthony, Victor, Ivan and I were here, at the office talking about that until Meli, a girl from another department currently stationed here, got up and left scared.
Then the guys went... slashy. Too bad they are not good looking, though not fuckgly as I yesterday learned from
shota_hunter, but they were... Okay, the line of logic was: ghosts - ghosts are remaining energy - "let me prove you the energy of your body" - followed by arm rubbing and phrases like "stick it out... but hard man, keep it hard" - talk about the energy - talk about the ki - talk about martial arts - show some moves. Three young men (under 30) practicing full contact moves in the office. For a second I was wondering if I had changes workplaces with
shota_hunter or what. (Looked around just in case there was some Rocking Little Flower dancing and singing Shakira songs somewhere. Hopefully not singing "Don't Cha"...). Perhaps too many boy together in a working place with women evidently not interested in them make them explore "other ways". ^_^ Who knows.
I believe I mentioned that yesterday I hang out with
shota_hunter. Gave her back the little novel "The Man Who Won't Take Off His Clothes" and lent her "The Covenant". Hopefully she will remember the name of more boys than I do. Lets see, the dude with the long hair is Pogue, the bad guy is... Chase, the mani guy is... oy... Caleb? Callem? Then the blond is... Reid? and his boyfriend is... Tyler? Let me know if I'm missing a guy.
Yesterday it was fun because since neither of us had got our paycheck, we were on the Weasley-mode. However, I think I have never had so much fun!!! It was so good to be with a friend and not make the whole thing about buying and stuffing our faces with sushi (though that's good), but just sit and talk. It was an amazing experience!!!! ^_^ Totally loved it. We talked about work, stories of friends and the pain in the ass of becoming a boss. I mean, my dear friend was proposed to become a supervisor, which, well, she's good at because she's a natural leader and she has always been good at commanding groups. But after the horror stories from Kate, and now my bleak-picture, my poor
shota_hunter has been left frozen has decided to decline the offer. Didn't want to say it to her then, but... she shall keep her fingers crossed that her superiors will let her. The thing about becoming a "higher level" is that you are not given the choice unless the situation is so thight you have no other choice but to accept. Now, people usually don't turn it down, because everybody wants the chance to boss over others, so usually this proposals are put out there as some kind of "prize". People don't turn it don't. People are not expected it to turn it down. People should be grateful for the "honor" of escaling to a "higher level" in the corporative foodchain. But those who have had the insight, or are plain freightened of attention (me) recoil from it.
We took the chance for me to FINALLY tell her the plot of some of my "arranged marriage" fics. First, of course, we methodically freaked people from where we were with outrageous comments on shota, male-rape, incest and other topics suitable only in literature. The plotbunnies for the arranged marriages were told a few feet away from a nun. She ran away as well.
The plotbunnies, shortly, are as follow:
1. A Krumggory.
Well, expected, right? Basically, an AU. It wasn't Cedric the one who died at the Tournament, but Fleur. Months after, Igor came to press Viktor, now a full time Quidditch player, to join the Death Eaters. The matter is that it wasn't a situation that could be solved with a "Not interested, thank you. Maybe next time." Endangered, Dumbledore decides to help hide the guy. To do so, he needs to secure him residence where he can protect him, and change his name. So they decide to give him in marriage to someone. Said someone has to be a man, since after the war the marriage would be broken, and "women are problematic there". Well, women get pregnant, and that could complicate things as well. Also, it would raise suspition if after year he and his wife refuse to procreate. It would endanger the status of the marriage and get it nullified, or something. Who cares, I'll make the necessary laws to ensure there's only one way. The guy selected for the "protecting" is Cedric.
Both Viktor and Cedric start the story as regular het guys. Cedric goes into the deal out of helping a fellow. Viktor does it because it's either letting a man make him his wife, or become a slave of evil and die painfully.
From day one their relationship is good, mostly upheld by Cedric, who manages to wave away all of Viktor's worries. Soon they become best friends and take the whole idea of marriage more like two guys out of school moving together away from the parents. They party, and look for a place to live in an area of their aproval, furnish it for their comfort (they must live in a "borderline" area, muggle but with some hidden wizard facilities), and get as primal stuff outrageous appliances such as a HUGE (or ginormous) flatscreen tv, an X-box and a computer. They goof around a lot, enjoying the process of blending into the muggle lifestyle (selected for protection) and soon they are pretty much unaware of the fact that they will marry. At least for Cedric it becomes a fun adventure, like moving into some fraternity or college rooms or something of the sort.
So far they have never made a move towards each other, and though they talk about some "facts of life", the topic seems distant. The day of the wedding, as it downs to Viktor that he will have to have sex with Cedric, and since he's the one taking Cedric's name and not the other way around, he also assumes he will have to become Cedric's wife and let him penetrate his body. Cedric, noticing nervous, reassures him by holding his hand. Then, the kiss is iniciated by Cedric as well, since Viktor is still frozen processing the facts. Cedric cups his face, smiling at him, and intends only to peck him, which his mind tells him is okay among guys (happens when joking), when Viktor, following his lead, pushes into a kiss a tad deeper. Surprised and amazed at how well it feels, Cedric pushes more into it snowballing the kiss into full making out. The ceremony is really short and private, attended only by the strictly requested: Minister, Snape, Dumbledore and Amos Diggory. As it ends, very businesslike, everybody goes home. Dumbledore takes a minute to remind the newly wed the conditions of the marriage contract. Attention for these are the rules I'll use in every Arranges Marriage fic from now on: the couple must have sex at least one during the first week and then two times more in separate days before a month is over, otherwise the marriage is void.
Viktor and Cedric, alone now, decide that they would like to throw an improvised reception party for themselves (Oh yes, the marriage must be kept secret for protective purposes), and so they go to a wizard pub and they drink themselves silly. Tipsy and unable to safely go home, they decide to rent a room for the night. Things go on normally. Up in the room they undress and get into bed ready to fall asleep all the way to noon. However, as they lay there, in the dark, Cedric opens his eyes and tell Viktor that he liked the kiss, and he shyly asks him if it were possible for them to kiss again. Viktor pulls him into his arms and they start kissing and end up having sex. After that night they can hardly take their hands off each other.
Eager to please him and make him feel the best way possible, Cedric goes into learnign Bulgarian to connect closer with his husband, which makes love grow strong inside of Viktor. Bulgarian becomes their secret language, which they often use to express their emotions and most inner thoughts. Cedric, aware of the fact that their marriage is not meant to last forever, but until the end of the war, thinking that after the danger is over Viktor would want to claim his freedom back, avoids as much as he can to fall in love with his husband. Late for Viktor to avoid those feelings, feeling his heart beat hard in his chest with every smile and every Bulgarian word from Cedric, every effort to understand him, does his best to seduce him. He's also aware of the nature of their marriage, but he hopes he can convince Cedric to stay with him even after the war is over.
The climaxing scene for their feelings come one day when Viktor cuddle with Cedric on the couch and read him Bulgarian romantic poetry, in Bulgarian. Melting, but still trying to keep up with it, Cedric smiles and asks him if Viktor is trying to make him fall in love with him. Unspoken goes the fact that he has already fallen in love with him and now is struggling to stop those feelings before they hurt him. He expects Viktor to laugh and joke like they usually do. However this time Viktor only holds him a little bit tighter and whispers in his ear, in Bulgarian:
"Maybe."
Surrendering to his feelings, understanding that they are not onesided, Cedric answers also in Bulgarian:
"It's working."
After that they become a wonderful marriage. However, as always, the plot thickens, but I'll save that for myself.
... This suddenly reminds me of that plotbunny "Ninochka". I never wrote that one.
2. In another "Arranged Marriage" fanfic, the Malfoy Family has fallen in disgrace. Knowing that his son is in danger with the Death Eaters, Lucius, who has been since his teen years in a secret but deep relationship with Arthur Weasley (on the line of "Hate"), arranges the marriage of Draco to protect him. Harry Potter is not a suitable match because he's too notorious, but also because he's not a pure blood wizard. Wishing to ensure the protection of his son, by someone who would not mistreat him, he decides to give Draco to Bill. Of course, Bill is already scarred and cursed with the werewolf nature.
Draco is informed of his new fate, and unlike expected, he doesn't rant about it, but accepts it. Not happily, of course. Though he goes through the wedding and goes to live with Bill where Bill lives (Grimaud Place like the rest of the Order of the Phoenix) he vents his discomfort with the situation by mistreating Bill verbally.
At the wedding he frowns his nose and then refuses to kiss his husband. The same "mating rules" apply. As it starts, Draco makes Bill sleep in another room and never lets him close, then making comments about Bill "marrying up" and how it's far better to be dead than "deformed and cursed". Bill, who has been in love with Lucius and was his lover as well, as replacement of Arthur (sequel of Hate), understands Draco and just smiles sadly at his comments. The rest of the Weasleys don't.
A lot of fights come and go around. The week is slowly coming to an end and Draco and Bill haven't done it yet. The last day, at an odd hour and an odd place, Draco asks Bill to bend, quite matter-of-factly and penetrates him. Business-lake, emotionless, cold, uninterested sex. The second time is also in that line.
At one point one of the Weasleys ask Bill why does he take so much from Draco. Draco is listening and then he hears the truth: because Bill loves Lucius and he would do anything for him, even knowing that Lucius doesn't really love him, but loves someone else.
Bill's wolfy days are pushing closer and he tries to coax Draco into sex, but the blond refuses. As the wolf days come, and with them the end of the month, Bill gets depressed thinking he has failed the man he loves, and his son. The first day he takes the wolfbane from Snape, but the second day, Draco makes him the wolfbane and forbids Snape from preparing it to him. Draco taunts Bill and Snape telling them that maybe his wolfbane is poisoned, and also mentioning to Bill that it's his first woflbane, so it might not work. Of course it works. However, it's laced with a potion to somewhat heal the scars on Bill. Though Bill remains human, he's unstable, and Draco takes pleasure in taunting him, telling him how he could unleash him to eat up his own family.
Draco also prepares a potion for the scars which he has to apply on Bill's skin direectly. So far, Draco has hid the truth that he has a scar fetish. While healing Bill, touching his scars, he gets aroused. He asks him coldly to bend (last day of the month, so it's the marriage-saving fuck). However, Bill, smelling his arousal, werewolf instinct kicking in, will have none of that. He throws him on a couch and has his very, very wild and wicked way with him. Bill on top, and Draco howls like a bitch in heat.
"You liked that, didn't you?" Bill smirks at him.
Draco frowns and denies despite his utterly satisfied face.
"Don't be ridiculous..."
Bill has him again and again and again....
^_^
3. A Snarry... but I won't tell that one because I have no time.
... Talking with my workmates, damned, I love these kids. Dracula is so much fun!!! Rooted in his convitions, don't bend to political influences... the dude is cool.
I start to really, really love these boys.
Love to All,
Locky The Bunny
