Kink Fic Rec: Bonus Superstar Sunday
We're down to only two superstars left, and they're my favorites out of all of this fic I'm reccing. Today's is idyll's " The Hollow." This is an Angel semi-AU - everyone else is the same, but Lindsey's a hooker - Gunn/Lindsey story. I've talked about this story before because it's one of my favorite d/s stories. In terms of sex, the hottest scene is in Gunn's truck in part 3, and sometimes I do go back to it to read that scene. But usually when I'm rereading I skip to part 8, which has some serious d/s going on but no sex, or part 10, which I usually stop reading before the sex scene.
What gets to me about this series is that it's all about power and control. It takes Gunn a while to realize it, even as he watches Lindsey resign himself to the escalation of their relationship, and watching him realize and understand what he needs to do for Lindsey is part of what I like about it. I also love her descriptions of how Lindsey sinks into it:It's a lost cause. The shirt's tight and too small, so it rides up on all sides, exposing several inches of Lindsey's skin. Through the material, which get thinner each time it's washed, Gunn can see dark splotches above one of Lindsey's nipples and high on his left side. At the join of Lindsey's neck and right shoulder is a bite mark that's mottled purple and slightly raised away from the unmarred skin around it. Half of it isn't even covered by the shirt at all.
Gunn steps closer and reaches out, slowly and seemingly harmless. Lindsey freezes, his eyes getting watchful, but all Gunn does is touch each shadowed mark through the t-shirt with the tips of his fingers. After he's traced the outline of each of them he closes his hands softly around Lindsey's biceps, fitting his fingers and palms directly over the faded yellow bruises he pressed there earlier in the week.
His grip is light but Lindsey's body melts and Gunn has to tighten his hands to hold Lindsey up.
