@aleport said: "please don’t regret me." erebus for fandaniel :)

Such a quiet beg seems uncharacteristic for the Erebus Fandaniel has come to know during their time spent together / but it is surprisingly in line with the more tender side they showed to Hermes once upon a time. And the line between soul and shard blurs ever more -- a strange jet-black yearning Fandaniel occasionally indulges despite his hatred for it.

His hand splays against their chest where sternum meets skin. A foggy memory surfaces -- watch, Hermes, watch as I continue to sully your legacy. Fandaniel smiles to himself and his hand ghosts over Erebus’s skin, over their clavicle, fingertips brushing the side of his neck, and up to cup their face in his palm. Despite himself the touch remains gentle. Fandaniel’s eyes glass over / he can feel that bit of wholeness inside of him flaring up / and Fandaniel likes to deny himself anything that makes him feel more complete.

His thumb presses firmly against the corner of Erebus’s mouth, tilting their chin to force them to look up at him. The space between them closes, Fandaniel all but looming over the other. Now does he speak.  “There was plenty I spent my time regretting when I was the mortal Amon.”  His other hand rises to hold the other side of Erebus’s face.  “But have no fear: I gave up regret when I gave up my body. At this point, the very notion of regret is only something of a passing dream for me. So I cannot regret you. All I have anymore is despair. Oh, and madness. Pray do not forget the madness.”  The continuation of a broken smile grows into something resembling a leer but it doesn’t quite meet, that disfigured connection between body and the soul occupying it amplified. Here but not here / such is the fate of the sundered.

“But Hermes--,”  eyes widen in anticipation for a flinch or for Erebus to look away / any moment of weakness / anything, please break, please / when the jester says his name / and his hands continue to linger on once-Azem’s jaw.  “--Hermes regretted you. This I promise you. Most assuredly.”  Memories of a falling Amaurot. Memories of not being enough. Memories of watching them leave. Memories of Hermes cupping their face like this. Memories, memories, memories. Disgusting. Just play your part, Erebus. He lets go.

Sometimes, I am simply taken aback by how stunning this game actually is.  Thank you for showing me this wonderfully simple spot @tales-of-wanderer-sal. I honestly would’ve never thought to come here just to sit and watch until you pointed it out to me.
