PETS Chapter 9

[velvet_mace]

Unbeta'd. Rough. This chapter is something of a let down from last one's hotness. I suppose that's just the way fics work. Call this the post orgasmic glow. This is a plot chapter, introducing a lot of new (canon) characters into the mix. And I've done what I've never done before. Written consensual canon sex. Amazing. Enjoy it because it

Great follow-up

I've been enjoying the story tremendously so far. Sorry I haven't posted before.

I had been wondering what was going on with Hughes. As horrific and and absorbing as Roy's experience has been to read, it's nice to see you are doing a well-rounded story. This is really some of your best writing (I've been catching up since I discovered "Pets"). Keep up the good work.

Um, also, I was wondering if you were going to keep Roy tied up constantly. From what I've read about bondage, there is a chance for nerve damage. Then, there's the nagging presence of normal everyday bodily functions: are Ed and Al going to have to assist Roy with everything? I know it's just a story, but you've put quite a bit of realism into it already. My mind's been thinking a lot about poor Roy.

His restraints are not that tight. Just tight enough that he can't fit them over his hands. They are leather and fairly wide with a bit of give and they don't cut off his circulation. His shoulders will get a bit tired from being held back like that, but it's amazing what a body can get used to after a while.

And yes, boy you have the next chapter right there. Roy learning just how helpless he is. I'm so damn cruel with him. Ed and Al will have to help him with EVERYTHING. Grooming, eating, even using the bathroom. He's utterly helpless. Just how Greed wants him.

I keep forgetting to include everything I want to say.

It's great that you've added Pride and Kimblee to the story. It's added so much story potential (and possible pairings).

One little correction:

Roy read through the report again, scanning through paragraph after paragraph of dry description.

I think you meant:

Hughes read through the report again, scanning through paragraph after paragraph of dry description.

O_O

The plot thickens. I get the impression that Hughes has more to worry about from his own side as he does from Greed. Bradley is damn scary in this! And any situation with Archer and Kimblee is not good >_<

Should I be worried that consensual, vanilla het sex squicks me more than non-con BDSM does? ^^;

Roy read through the report again, scanning through paragraph after paragraph of dry description.

I think you mean 'Hughes' instead of Roy.

A few miles away Archers raid would be going down.

Archer's

[velvet_mace]

Thanks! Made the changes... if you see any others, tell me.

Oh God, what does it say that WRITING Consensual Vanilla Het sex was a hell of a lot harder than writing Non-con BDSM with underaged boys.

Ah well, this was an experience. Now it's done and I can move back to what I do better... guy on guy.

Be scared of Bradley. That would be a good thing.

Archer and Kimblee... I really considered not putting EITHER of them in this, but then I needed someone to do the raid, and the logical non-OC would be Archer. And since I needed an alchemist, Kimblee made since after all he is into explosives. And that does give me yet another potential pairing at another point, though I don't think I'll bog down the story line at this point with them.

I really should get in the habit of reviewing.

I love this fic for it's emotional torture/mind games. Another great chapter, with Hughes grief and worry's on display.

Sorry, I don't know what else to say.

[velvet_mace]

That was a nice comment!

Yes, it's all about emotional torture and mind games, and past acts echoing into the future.

This chapter is making me worry that I might have trouble keeping my hands off of Hughes. Must... resist... temptation... to... rape... nice... family... man.

[kerlihc]

Must... resist... temptation... to... rape... nice... family... man.

lol. I think the nice family man will need to watch his back.

[velvet_mace]

Oh hell yeah. Hughes is a mighty tempting morstel.

[mikkeneko]

Take heart, I found this chapter just as exciting (and just as hot) as the others. Poor Hughes, so traumatized. *giggle* And so guilty, too. Work hard, Hughes! You have to be the cavalry now!

[velvet_mace]

Yes, and what a cavalry it is, an underling who likes blood and mayhem and an alchemist who is big into making things go boom.

[shutterfly3]

Wow, more characters makes me think that this is gonna be a lot longer then I thought. YAY! ^-^ Loving it.

[velvet_mace]

Er... yes... this is beginning to look like it will take a while to resolve the plot... but then, I have a lot of pairings to do, and some of them (like Roy with Greed, Ed and Al) I want to do multiple times. But er... this is going to be a THREE way conflict and quite a mess and there's a whole arm of the plot that I haven't even gotten to yet, so er... I hope you like WIPS.

Hopefully the smut will make each chapter satisfying enough that the fact that it takes a while to resolve won't be that much of a disappointment.

[shutterfly3]

I love it! A nice, good long story with lotsa lotsa smut. *glee*
