"Fireglow," Beron murmurs. Already, he knows the answer, but still he asks: "Have you ever partaken?"
Iphigenia shakes her head against the heel of his hand. "No, High Lord." Like a melody—sweet and lilting and pleasing to the ear, those words off her tongue. "Though I have seen it used before."
A chuckle rumbles distantly, though its resonance settles in his breastbone. "Other pleasure herbs, perhaps," he says, amused. "This blooms only when the Mother blots the sun from the sky and casts the world in darkness." He holds the smoldering pipe aloft. "The efforts of my court to provide light by which to see."
Thoughtfully, "I had not known such a thing possible, High Lord."
The marvel seems only ever to split a millennia. One occurred near to his birth, then again around his fifth century. It will be a time before the next—and it has been long enough since the last that this floruit youth cradled in his palm would not have heard firsthand tell by her sires, themselves not of age enough to bear witness.
Beron hoards her to him, her legs crooking bestride his hips. Nestled at the apex of her thighs is an ambrosial heat that narrows his thoughts in the baring of itself against him, wet with his seed spilling from her, with her own arousal at his handling. He slides his hand down the nape of her neck and settles it atop his claim to her.
The collar purrs in recognition.
"No?"
"No," Iphigenia hums, slender arms winding about his neck. Pressed tight against his chest as they are, her breasts burgeon before him. The sight blackens his eyes and sets his mouth awater—round and full, her fair skin without flaw, save for here the impression of his teeth, there the roses and plums left behind by his tongue. "If its emergence is that precious, High Lord, why would they use it so?"
Beron answers not.
He draws again from his pipe, the bit eager between his teeth—but he does not inhale; rather, he holds the fireglow captive on his tongue, then slants his lips over hers and bestows it upon her. In the kiss, he tastes what it is to have power: an unhallowing of the sacred, a debasement of the exalted, a profanity of the immaculate.
The deflowering of a miracle.
Iphigenia gasps, her chest stuttering with the abrasion of it, but she does not pull away. She cannot now, even if she thought to. Without any defense against the herb, her verdant body succumbs at once to its effects.
Idk if u've already done this but what if Genia was Beron's mate? And he only finds out after they're way too far into what he's doing to her? This has been haunting my dreams I can't stop thinking bout it
i’ve talked abt it a bit in this ask but i didn’t really get into his Feelings about it. i think he would undergo just like ??? such insane mental gymnastics. genia was just his young pretty innocent little plaything to corrupt as he wanted—now she’s his mother-ordained equal who he never would have subjected to such depravities if he had known. he wouldn’t feel guilt or shame or anything like that, but i think he feels this weird blend of like . disgust/anger because my equal is nothing more than a whore -> crashout about how he’s deserving of more and this must all be because loa cheated on him; but then also intense horniness because my equal is MY whore, perfectly molded to me. no wonder she took me so well. no wonder she knew as second-nature how best to soothe me and serve me and please me. his brain is literally just so fried from being cheated on, i almost feel like i’m leaning towards him just keeping genia a secret and continuing to use her as he had been? except worse because now he’s reallllllllly trying to get her pregnant.
it does feel like a beginning of the end situation for him. his entitlement and self-importance have fully corrupted him by this point such that he would subject his mate (see: part of himself) to torment at his co— uhhhhhhh hand. she becomes a means of self-flagellation, something beron certainly has never subjected himself to before. the more she suffers, the more he suffers—but he can’t stop himself. it’s too late for that. it’s too late because if he stops, he admits that what he does is wrong. that he perpetuates harm needlessly. that he’s done so to his wife and his sons and now his mate. his mate. he hates the way she looks at him. he hates that he can feel what she feels for him: fear and disgust and hatred, shame that her body responds to him the way it does, the ugly truth behind all her pretty words and noises and platitudes. any self-critical thoughts, he would blame on her. her rot infecting him—certainly not his own feelings towards himself. he would just spiral out and out and out until eris had no choice but to kill him and spare everyone of sharing his fate
waiting so patiently and excitedly for that bergenia punishment scene!!! beron getting off on having her in his lap and cradling her because it makes him feel so important and also because she is seeking comfort in the arms of her biggest predator AAAAAA
beron being batshit insane and gross under the cut—thank you to my darling @buffy-vanserra for the extremely late-notice beta. u can also find it on ao3 if ur nasty<3 i hope u enjoy it!!! warnings for noncon elements (in the scene but not between the main couple), sexual slavery, sex as a punishment, verbal and physical degradation, and humiliation. dd;dne!
I kinda love the Madonna and the wh0re archetypes Iphigenia and Amalia has but mostly because it's the complete reverse for the two. Like Amalia is Beron's wife, she's taken care for, elevated in status and almost nearly religiously blessed having born 7 sons and is literally in the public eyes a true born lady of autumn society.
And yet she's anything but a Madonna in terms of her relationship with Beron, having had an affair with Helion and bore his son who Beron suspects isn't his. She may be wife in terms of status, title, and position but her affair with Helion destroy any Madonna attributes that Beron see's or expects from her, those traits are only (emotional wise) for Helion and not her husband which enrages him so.
And then there's Iphigenia whose literally a bed slave, a wh0re in station and for necessary reasons simply just to survive in an environment that would kill her for less. She's literally in the position of the wh0re archetypes and yet strangely embodies Madonna attributes (similar to Amalia but where LoA is for the safety of her son and genuine feelings for Helion, Iphigenia does it for survival) that Beron finds endearing that he gives his favour to her.
Ugh just reading about your characters and literally thinking about how complex they gives me braingasms because I love complicated messy people that gets me to write a whole ass essays for them.
Truly your writings are impeccable and I would love to read more of it!
yeah ! yeah !! yeah !!! exactly this! because in the early stages of their marriage and honestly up until he found out she was cheating, amalia very much was the madonna. the mother is a sacred figure in their religious practices and amalia became a mother and thus beron didn’t subject her to any of his perversities or depravities. sex was efficient and purposeful as it ought be for a lady wife. he never put her on her knees—even thinking about doing so made him feel a little horny jolt of wrongness and shame. no, those are the dealings of a whore.
but then—his madonna makes herself a whore. worse, she does so by cheating on him. he can’t contend with it. did not he do right by her? he lofted her to lady; he let her oversee the keep and the dealings of the lowborn folk to keep her occupied; he promptly gave her children aka purpose; he never sullied her with sexual deviance; he never dishonored her by entertaining another female in public. he treated her far, far better than his father ever treated his own mother. still it isn’t enough for her. but it’s not like he can punish her the way he wants to because, at the end of the day, she’s still his lady wife.
so he projects what amalia once was onto iphigenia and punishes her instead. iphigenia who has known barely more than two decades of life—not that he knows for certain because no matter what her age, it’s a fraction of his lifespan. iphigenia who has never been touched by another before. iphigenia who holds herself a prim, proper lady even garbed as a bed slave, so unlike the others, lowborn if not lesser fae entirely. iphigenia who so favors his young wife when they first wed. he lofts her in this weird warped way where she’s his special madonna girl molded only to his needs, his wants, his desires. everything is new to her and thus everything of her is his, the way it should be for amalia but isn’t. and when he recalls that, there’s no reason not to take it out on iphigenia. because functionally she is still just a whore.
and like goddddd that’s exactly the reason it’s so hard for iphigenia all the time. she needs to keep his favor and his interest to be Only His and receive his protection—but eventually her being a whore will outweigh his conception of her as a madonna. she’ll feel too used to him. too knowing of what to do. too wanting for his touch. if she’s so wanton for him, perhaps she’d be so for any male. he’ll begin thinking of her like a whore and if he thinks of her like a whore then he’ll think of her like amalia and … if he doesn’t just throw her to the wolves (aka all the lords who want a piece of the female who enraptured the high lord) then surely he causes her death. like even if emile never came across her that night, her life is forfeit. she can extend it and extend it and extend it by doing everything right, but eventually there simply won’t be anything right she can do because beron has grown bored and resentful. onto the next madonna.
this one’s proven to be a whore, just like the last.
May I ask, if hypothetically Iphigenia was in fact Beron's mate would he disregard Amalia and elevate Iphigenia as his lady or would he still keeps her in the position she is now?
Because the political intrigue of the bed slave being Beron's mate would have like a huge political and emotional crisis to everyone 🤣
wow what a scenario to rotate !!! i immediately had like six competing thoughts about this. her being his bed slave is honestly pretty easy to sweep under the rug if he wants it to be. the system is restricted to the forest house so the commonfolk don’t really know about it, so it would be the simple matter of a few deaths to keep her ever having been one silenced. plus she’s only ever been his. which is what he’s always really wanted of a partner. something amalia couldn’t give him.
two primary options for beron here. one: keep iphigenia quiet and focus on breeding her—he has an heir but she could provide him the strongest heir he could have, a perfect heir, one who makes up for all the ways eris lacks. if eris knows, if he’s the heir beron has raised, he’ll try to put an end to that. best to be cautious. and so iphigenia is kept and bred. two: mother ordained polygamy babyyy! amalia is too favored of the people to divorce even in favor of his mate; his mate needs to be officially recognized so that any children they bear are legitimate. lowkey envisioning some loose henry viii katherine of aragon -> anne boleyn type shit. he controls the high priestesses and largely reigious narrative as a whole across autumn, so he restructure it. he can have two wives—the one who bore him sevenfold + his mate. there’s safety in making genia a public figure. if she dies, everyone obviously looks to eris or amalia. then beron could kill his heir or his wife for killing his mate.
there are just so many players and so many variables in this though. like fucking hell eris is going to let iphigenia conceive. that was her biggest fear with beron to begin with, what would be done to her if she fell pregnant. even beyond eris—like hell amalia lets herself be replaced, like hell emile lets himself fall lower in beron’s esteem, like hell kirsi lets carmine sit back while he gets bumped down to his father’s Other Kids. she’s safer if he makes her a public figure, but his efforts at quelling her origins in the forest house fail. eris spreads it, amalia spreads it, carmine and kirsi spread it. his image is so important to him. what he did to her she ruins it. he gets pissed. but that—having her shame known by so many—makes iphigenia like. she is a suicide risk forreal. that is her real life genuine nightmare. for everyone to know. for everyone to think it of her. for it to be the first thing everyone sees and the only way they conceive of her.
all because of her mate.
not to derail you but some iphigenia x beron would be great please and thank you
also! inquiring minds want to know how iphigenia feels about tamlin's (potential but let's be real, it's 110% there) breeding kink after handling beron's specific brand of it 👀
ooooooo what a good fkn question. cuz yeah of course you’re right. i think honestly that might be part of what makes her truly realize how different tamlin is from beron/how differently she feels about tamlin vs beron LMFAO like with beron, she knew his breeding kink was an overt threat to her. there was always genuine fear that her contraceptive would fail and she’d fall pregnant and he would kill her, or someone else would kill her, or he would make her terminate her pregnancy, or he would take her baby and discard her, or she really would be tied to him for the rest of her natural life, etc. the kink wasn’t about wanting her, it was about the thrill of continuing himself and his legacy at the expense of her safety.
but with tamlin, when he stares transfixed between her thighs and pushes his come back inside her for the first time, it’s like—at first a whole-body shock, then a giddy little flutter in her belly. because his face turns completely red when he realizes what he’s done. he looks like he wants to pull the covers over his head and hide away. it wasn’t about him in the moment he did it; it was about her, about wanting her, about claiming her in a way that was very different from beron’s possession of her body. and she definitely doesn’t want a baby right now. but she realizes she isn’t afraid of what would happen if she did have one. she knows tamlin wouldn’t hurt her or the baby or separate them, even if things didn’t go well between them. and that would be another revelation—that there could be an end to her and tamlin if she wanted there to be.
that she doesn’t want there to be.
