Summary: Adam is Pharaoh, the most powerful man in the ancient world. However, when a new slave named Tommy catches his eye, he is reminded that there are things greater than the power of life and death. For Tommy, dragged from his home and forced into slavery, Pharaoh opens up a whole new world, equally wonderful and terrifying. But for both of them, is the risk worth the reward?
Author's Notes: Written for
glambertsbb. Special thanks go out to
happy_1225 for requesting Pharaoh!Adam and slave!Tommy months ago for
help_haiti. When she asked for 1000 words, I never imagined it would grow to more than 40000! Extra super special amazing thanks go to
janescott who is my saintly beta. Without her hand-holding and expertise with pompoms, who knows where this story would be today. Surely, not where it is now. <3 I love you, lady! And to
va_bites I'm so glad you were inspired to make such beautiful art by my story! Title from Egpyt by Dio. Headings within the story from As Long as It's Not About Love - Dio, Fire in Cairo - The Cure, and Use Me Up - Hanson.
