!! for Imp

No one in the multiverse has the ability to turn everything you’ve ever known upside down just by showing up.Well. No one but Imp.

His existence alone astounds you, but not the way it used to.

Before, you were confronted with the concept of a should-be yellow troll being tyrian. You were lucky enough not to have known the truth of what had really happened between Imp and his previous Empress back then, as you doubt you would have been able to understand the motivation behind what he had done; and if you had understood, you still would not have been able to look passed the treason. You just hadn’t understood how a troll apart from )(er could stand in )(er place.Now, you look at him and see a troll whose loyalties run deeply in a chosen few people instead of in the Empire he had come from. You see the impact that one vital decision link in the chain has made, and an Emperor who has clawed his way to his station with fang and claw, through an Empress hardly fit for )(er title (to have been defeated, she hardly was the Best of )(er kind) to change what his loyalties believed was wrong with his world. His beliefs have become the laws of the Empire, just as )(ers had been, and you respect that.

He reminds you of water running off of smooth metal, and of hot blood splashing your face– of soft, caring croons, wigglers’ chirps, wise thought and gritted fangs. He reminds you of your Sollux, who he ensures is cared for now that you can’t do it yourself, and you wonder if you should tell him your suspicions. That smile is so similar between them, and that hair, those teeth, are not yours either.

You know a side of him that his Empire does not, and cannot know. You know his sleeplessness, his tiredness, and the soft noises he makes when you draw him onto the sleeping platform and into your arms to finally rest. You know the quiet exchanges that follow the blatant flirting, and the comforting thrum of his purrs when you’re twined. Sometimes, you forget just how young he is, but those aren’t such times. He sounds both young and old then, and you almost think to pray for his safety, so he can come back to you again.

Sometimes, you hold him like he’s glass, but you know better than that.You have no fear for his safety, no fear that he will break, for your mate is a force to be reckoned with. The best way to protect him, you think, is to let him fight. You would gladly fight with him, by his side. He is a soldier, and a fierce one.

Imp is a troll full of contradictions, you think.But a troll without their contradictions is one without personality, without allure.

He was the first troll to bring to light the beginnings of your corruption, and while your state deeply pains you, the distress seems so worthwhile, so distant, whenever you’re in his arms.
