Exalted Silliness
Some of The Many Variations on Having Sex: As told through the main sexual relationships of Ilan’s Exalted characters….
Isamu makes love to Akane. A bracelet glints on her wrist, binding their lives together. They’ve been together since they were children and somehow this never gets old. Though one is a Solar and one is a Dragonblood, they are bound together by devotion. Isamu smiles.
Saeed worships Scion’s form. It does not matter to him if the Lunar is male or female, he fell in love with Scion’s vision before he fell in love with the person behind it. Now he is in love with both. Though one steps forward to lead and the other works from the shadows, together they have built a nation. Saeed smiles.
Petal Tossed to the Wind copulates with Akanha, God of Silver Currency. She knows that there are other ways to make a godblooded child, but if she must sell her body this night for the promise of power she can deal with the minor annoyance. Akanha’s embrace is not pleasant, but she has made sacrifices before. Though one is a god and the other a mortal, they both will gain great riches from their child. Petal smiles.
Silver Silhouette of the Phoenix is intimate with Spring’s Hidden Strength. Both of them are powerful warriors in the world outside this bedroom, but here they are tender and joyful, uncaring of the outside world. Together they embrace, secure in the knowledge that the other will never ask for more than what they can give. Though one’s heart belongs to a dead man and the other’s heart is bound to his mate, they take comfort in each other's arms. Phoenix smiles.
Bey’Tahira consummates her marriage to Vena. Tahira gasps at her lover’s nimble fingers and quick smile, still astonished that Vena was able to find a loophole that allowed her to keep to tradition while going against it. She tenderly strokes her lover’s hair, feeling her heart swell when she thinks that this woman managed to become her husband. Though one has lived her life striving to be free and unfettered and the other has chosen to bind herself to her culture’s laws, they are opposites that have found completion in each other. Tahira smiles.
Ihir sleeps with Senka. Her skin is cold and without life, yet Ihir finds no fault in it. She is beautiful to him, this woman who he has only known in death. As a ghost she is no less responsive to his touch. Though one is long dead and the other lives and breathes, they find that their love surpasses simple life and death. Ihir smiles.
Deceptive Mask of Sevenfold Joy and Laughter fucks the Lizard That Dances With No Legs. There is little left of the Immaculate Monk who once defiantly spat in the face of a Deathlord. Mask’s mind has been shattered, her memories replaced, and all she wants now is to please her lady. Lizard cares only for his responsive toy, never wondering where it came from. Though one has given himself willingly and the other has been shattered and used, they are both ignorant of the tragedy that led to this. Mask smiles.
