Bane/Blake - kidnapping, dubcon

[anonymous]

Inspired by a prompt from the last round. Talia (as Miranda) gets to know John a little while working with the resistance, and she likes his spirit. Knowing how Bane loves to squeeze the hope out of idealists and innocents like John, she arranges for John to be kidnapped and given to Bane as a gift, to be broken slowly

Oh, author-anon, I can't wait to see how this will play out! I keep rereading the prompt gleefully. Thanks for the update; it was a fantastic way to start my morning :)

No Holds Barred: 3a/?

[anonymous]

The routine is depressingly the same for the first week or so. The same guard comes in twice a day to give John water and food; not much, just enough to keep him alive, and Barsad lets him go to the bathroom when he remembers John is there. Bane comes a few times with extra supplies-a book from one of the shelves against the wall, a handful of more palatable food, fresh clothes that John is no longer too proud to spurn. He retreats to the bathroom, pulling on the new outfits swiftly, and he showers now, but as quickly as possible.

Take your comfort from him, Miranda had said, and John's not a fool. Every time Bane nears him, to hand him food or to uncuff him, John's heart lurches with a brief spike of panic

No Holds Barred: 3b/?

***
A long time ago, in the pit, Bane had come across a fledgling bird dragging its broken wing along the ground. He'd picked it up, felt its heart flutter against his fingertips. Once, he had been able to touch such things without breaking them.

He meant to crush it, to snuff its little life out and cease its suffering. There was no reason for it to be down there with them. Beautiful things had no place in the pit. But then Talia was there, prying at his thumb, wanting to see the fragile creature he held in his palm.

It won't heal, he told her. Killing it would be a mercy.One day she would have a very good understanding of this, that there are few worse things than to be alive and suffering. But then, she was only a child; and he her helpless thrall. She begged him. They found a cloth and squeezed drops of precious water down the bird's throat. She thrilled when it accepted softened bread crumbs from her hand. He knew she believed the bird would get better, would someday fly out of that place, and she would send her spirit soaring

No Holds Barred: 3c/?

[anonymous]

Bane's men, the mercenaries who have been with him since the beginning, peer at John askance and mutter under their breaths in a language he doesn't understand. It drives him mad

No Holds Barred: 3d/?

“I can fight,” John says

I love how you've included Barsad, and the personalities of Bane's militia. Can't wait to read the next chapter!! You're writing style is fabulous. ♥ ♥ ♥

Re: No Holds Barred: 3d/?

This is brilliant, BRILLIANT I SAY. I love a kickass Barsad. ♥♥

Re: No Holds Barred: 3d/?

Holy crap, this is glorious! Well done!

On a side note, if the prompt that inspired this was this one , then that's mine, which would make me the pseudo-OP, and pseudo-OP is very, very happy!

OP

That's the one!

tysm anon, this is glorious so far! I love your Barsad.

Oh my effing god

I was already deeply in love with this fill, but you took it to a different level. I adore you and your fill. Bane's POV blew me away.

Usually I don't read WIPs because 8 times out of 10 they get abandoned, but I'm so glad I decided to read yours.

It's hard to say a minor character like Barsad seems canon when we saw so little of him on screen, but you managed to read between the lines and created an incredibly well written character.
Pretty pretty ~please~ keep on writing.
