Summary: Aether has a surprise planned for Dew. All he has to do is get to Dew's room, get himself set up and wait.
He gets a little more than he bargained for.

Thank you everyone who voted in the poll! Ask and ye shall receive.
Aether dips out of dinner as early as he can get away with. Hours ago he’d had an idea, and he just can’t wait any longer to put it into motion. He’s done his best to suppress his scent, and he’s reasonably confident that he’s been successful, because when he gets up from the table without a word, only Dew looks up and tips his head to the side quizzically. Aether panics for a second, freezing and glancing at the door, but he can’t come up with a lie fast enough, so he just doesn’t answer, simply spins on his heel and marches towards the door.
In the hall, he lets out a breath, pausing to see if Dew decided to follow him, but when he’s sure he’s in the clear, he books it to Dew’s room, his veins on fire with hot anticipation. He’s almost giddy with it as he reaches Dew’s bedroom door, letting himself in and closing the door behind him with trembling hands.
He stands in the middle of the room for a moment; it’s the same as it always is, immaculate with everything in its place, the bed perfectly made, complete with tightly tucked corners. Aether’s own room is quite the opposite, but he decides that Dew will appreciate it if he matches the atmosphere of the room, so he carefully shucks off his boots and places them precisely beside the door. It takes him a minute to get the buttons of his shirt undone with how his hands shake, but it’s not long before he’s sliding it off and folding it neatly. He sets it on the bed for now, stepping out of his pants next and folding those, setting them on the dresser and going so far as to line up the corner of the square of fabric with the corner of the dresser. The shirt he lays on top of that, and his socks and underwear neatly stacked atop the shirt.
Aether doubts Dew will notice, but he might, and if he does, he will appreciate it. But he'll appreciate Aether’s surprise more. He doesn't have time to waste – or maybe he does, he has no idea when Dew might return here, if he had plans for after dinner or if he'd be coming straight back to his room; the uncertainty only adds to the suspense – so he plants his hands on his hips and glances around the room, deciding where to set himself up.

Summary: Ever since he was summoned, Mountain's had problems remaining present. He dissociates almost constantly, and Dew has figured out how to help ground him when he has particularly bad episodes. This is one such example.
(tagging @forlorn-crows as requested)
They've been on the road for hours by now. By the end of the first hour, Dew had allowed Ifrit to drag him up into the top bunk Aether had claimed, and there he'd stayed, sandwiched between them. Aether had purred happily at their arrival and promptly fallen back asleep, one leg thrown over Dew's hip and an arm reaching across him, snug around Ifrit's waist. Ifrit had nuzzled into Dew's neck and humped lazily at his thigh for a few minutes, but then his soft sighs had turned to snores, and Dew was left awake and alone, surrounded by their purring and snuffling and snoring. He doesn't mind. He likes the warmth and the quiet, when he has the opportunity to let his breathing match with theirs, to study the both of them without interruption and without being caught. He's always been drawn to Ifrit's high cheekbones, the heavy dash of his brows, the sharp squareness of his jaw, the elegant curve of his horns. All of it is such a stark contrast to the light in his warm eyes and his comfortable, easy way of being. And then there's Aether, nearly the opposite: strong bone structure, but a soft jaw, soft eyes, soft lips, even his horns curving close to his head seem gentle.
Dew can stare for a long time. For a few hours, he can occupy himself watching the steady rise and fall of chests, watching heartbeats pulse in veins, listening to the way Aether snores softly and rhythmically, how Ifrit’s are louder and more sporadic, catching every so often. He dozes off a few times, but never for long. Eventually, the comfortable warmth starts to prickle, his muscles start to ache with the need to move. He gets restless. grows damp and sticky, and there’s pressure low in his belly. He has to piss. With little else to occupy him, he can’t ignore it for long.
He starts to wriggle out from between them. Almost immediately, Ifrit, still mostly asleep, clumsily reaches for his face. Dew rolls his eyes and leans forward so that his idly waving hand catches his cheek, and Ifrit immediately smiles, pleased with himself. Dew sighs, a disgruntled gesture that’s part pretense, though he won’t say how much, and lays his hand over Ifrit’s to give it a rudimentary pat. Dew considers slipping away, but his gaze is caught on the soft curve of Ifrit’s mouth, so he leans down to press a begrudging kiss to his forehead, and that stupid, sleepy little smile on Ifrit’s face widens. Dew lingers for a moment more, the corner of his own mouth turning upwards as he watches Ifrit’s expression slowly relax as he drifts off back to sleep. Finally he resumes extracting himself, climbing neatly over Aether, who doesn’t react at all, and dropping silently to the floor.

this time it's a piss fic. snip below (no actual piss in the snip, just part of the lead up to the main event)
roughly 800 words in the snip
Every once in a while, Mountain shifts, trying to stay comfortable on the floor, or seeking friction. Dew lets him. What he doesn’t let him do, is get up and follow Rain when he sets his book down and heads for the adjoining bathroom.
Mountain whines in protest at the pressure on his shoulder and chest keeping him in place, his ears drooping as he watches the door shut behind Rain. He tips his head back to look at Dew, brow furrowed and his lips parted in a pout.
Why? Even in Dew’s head, Mountain’s voice is a whine, drawn-out and plaintive.
Cause. You’re sitting with me right now, Dew says, patting his chest amicably. Mountain seems nonplussed.
Gotta go, he tries, thighs squeezing together a little, hips rolling less than subtly.
Dew suppresses the urge to grin, instead leaning his head back against Swiss. Aw. You can hold it.
Mountain’s scent surges hot and spiced so suddenly and strongly that it overwhelms Dew in a dizzying wave of heat; it begins as a headrush, and washes down his spine to pool heavy in his belly, and it’s then that he becomes aware of just how hard he’s gotten. His cock lays hot against his thigh, trapped in his jeans, and it’s a miracle Aether hasn’t tried to grope him. He could, if he wanted. Dew wouldn’t stop him. His focus is on Mountain, not himself.

Summary: Ever since Swiss bit Rain's throat while he was possessed, Rain hasn't been able to stop thinking about it. He needs Swiss to bite him again, this time without the possession. (Follow-up to Devoured by Shadows)
Words: 4,525
Swiss hasn’t seen Rain since the evening before, when Ifrit had poked his head into the common room and Swiss had bounced up from his seat and followed Ifrit to his room. He’d crashed there, though they hadn’t gotten much sleeping done, and the waking bell had come far too soon. Still, they’d made it to the dining hall in time for breakfast, and had parted ways; Ifrit off to his table with Zephyr and Ivy and Swiss to the room off the main hall where the band ghouls and Copia ate, separate from the rest of the abbey’s occupants.
From the doorway, Swiss finds Rain immediately; searching for him in a room has been second nature for so long now he hardly realizes he’s doing it anymore. He’s at his spot at the table already, with Mountain and Cirrus further down, but it doesn’t look like he’s talking with them, just sitting quietly with his hands folded in his lap. His tail hangs down through the back of the chair, relaxed except for the quiet intermittent flicking of the tip, and his ears are limp, head tipped slightly down. Maybe Swiss should be concerned for his mate’s body language, perhaps worried that something is wrong, but he’s not. He doesn’t need to be.
There’s a thin band of metal around his throat, clasped with a small lock at the back of his neck. Swiss zeroes in on it, a rush of possessive heat and affection flooding him. He feels a little drunk on it as his feet carry him straight to the table, completely ignoring the other ghouls scattered around the room. Usually, he’d bounce around between the rest of them, greeting and chittering until the last second before the meal starts.
Today, though, he’s got blinders on. The only thing in this room that matters is Rain and that collar around his throat and what it means to both of them. He comes to a stop behind Rain’s chair, leaning over him to press his cheek to Rain’s as he curls his body around him, arms crossing loosely over his chest as he presses a kiss into his hair. It could have been an innocuous greeting hug, but it’s not and Rain knows it. His tail curls around Swiss’s thigh almost before his arms settle around him, and Rain leans his head back against Swiss as he skims one hand up Rain’s body to splay against the front of his throat, the other flat against his chest, right over his heart. Swiss stays there for a long moment, narrowing his senses down until the noise in the room fades away and it's just the spiced, warm scent of a submissive Rain, collared of his own volition, his heartbeat hammering under Swiss's palm and the soft hitch of his breath, followed by his throat bobbing as he swallows twice in quick succession. Swiss is purring right into Rain’s ear, and just when the soft answering rumble starts up, he lets out a soft growl and drops his head down to ghost his teeth across the skin of his neck, deliberately catching a fang on the edge of the collar. A promise of what’s to come. When he draws back, it’s slow and lingering, letting his hands drift over Rain’s body, never fully retreating into his own space as he settles into his chair, leaving one hand to rest on Rain’s thigh.
Rain sways slightly in his seat, one ear flicking towards Swiss. Neither of them say anything, but Swiss takes a slow, deep breath, filling his lungs with the scent wafting off of him, subtle enough that it could be missed if you weren’t deeply familiar with it. Swiss, of course, could pinpoint this scent from his lifemate a mile away, and right now it’s taking all his willpower not to bury his nose into Rain’s neck again and drown himself in it.
He'd caught a good noseful a moment ago though, and it's enough to make it easy to cling to that soft scent even through the haze of all the others, almost as good as straight from the source. Still, Swiss is aware of the coy little smirk Cirrus is directing at them and feels a spark of pride in his chest, feels the urge to pull Rain into his lap just to make the message absolutely clear. He doesn’t get the chance to show Rain off like this often, even more rarely when he’s not expecting it. He knows very well what a rarity this is, that Rain is broadcasting any of this at all, but he knows the rules and he won't push them. He’s already deep in thought, abandoning any attention to his surroundings in favor of planning out what he’s going to do to him later, so the soft touch of Rain’s hand on his wrist startles him. He looks over to meet Rain’s soft gaze, sees the intention behind it just as it clicks that he’s pressing something into the palm of his hand, something small and body-warm and metal. A key. The key to his collar.

Hiding From the Light
Rating: T
Pairing: Dew/Mountain
Tags: First Kiss, Fluff, Ghoul Lore, Breeding Mention
Words: 1,218
Summary:
Dew was Mountain's first kiss topside, and also ever.
“I’m going to kiss you,” Dew said, raising himself up on his toes and pulling Mountain down at the same time. “I don’t know what that is,” Mountain said, but whatever it was, he knew he wanted it, and he wanted it from Dew. He didn’t laugh. His thumb brushed slowly over Mountain’s cheekbone, and Dew said, “I’ll show you. Stop me if you don’t like it.” Mountain nodded, and let Dew pull him down further. Their faces were very close together, close enough that Mountain could count Dew’s eyelashes, and see the patterns in his irises, and the faint white freckles across his cheeks he’d never noticed before, and still Dew was moving closer.
When Mountain was first summoned, he had a very difficult time with the other ghouls. He didn’t understand why they were so friendly, he didn’t get the social cues, he didn't like the touching. Dew wasn’t like the others. He kept to himself, bright, intense eyes taking in everything before him, observing conversations and interactions, and when he chose to participate he was blunt and straightforward. He largely ignored Mountain for a good long while, until the day he strode up to him in that oddly precise way of his and asked what his problem was. Demanded to know why Mountain was always staring at him
Mountain didn’t realize he was staring. He felt inexplicably drawn to Dew. Where he came from in the pit, there was no friendliness. You met other ghouls only to chase them out of your territory, or to be chased yourself, and trying to befriend the others was a good way to get yourself killed. That wasn’t a threat here, though, as far as Mountain knew.
Dew had asked him two questions, so Mountain gave him two answers: it’s too loud and too bright; he stares because Dew is interesting to look at.
Dew barked out a laugh and took Mountain by the elbow, grip firm but surprisingly gentle, dragging him down a half dozen halfways and halfway across the abbey. He took Mountain somewhere he had never been before, where the air smelled of dust and the walls were old, uncovered stone bricks, and the next thing he knew he was being steered through a doorway and into a room. Just before Dew kicked the door closed, Mountain could see shapes covered by white cloth and a layer of dust. Then it was dark. And quiet. Quieter than anywhere in the abbey, except for two sets of lungs breathing and two hearts beating.
After spending an eternity in the pitch black, Mountain’s eyes only needed a few seconds before he could see everything in the room as plainly as if all the lights were on. He was only looking at Dew, though, standing in front of him. unmoving and staring right at him, his pupils reflecting the tiniest bit of starlight filtering in through the covered windows.
“Even in the dark, you’re still staring at me,” Dew said, tone flat. but then he laughed. It wasn’t the rough, caustic laugh he’d barked out earlier, or the bitter, scathing one Mountain usually heard from him. It was still rough around the edges, but it was warm. Sincere.
“I want to touch you,” Mountain said.

okay, okay. whiny trembly mountain coming right up
@kroas-adtam ask and ye shall receive.
(918 words)
Mountain draws another trembling breath. In through his nose, filling his lungs, expanding his chest housing his racing heart. Out through barely parted lips, a shuddering exhale that does nothing to calm the insistent tremors. Dew won't look at him. His eyes are locked on the TV, barely even blinking. He has an arm wrapped around Aether, tucked up against his side and snoring softly, barely audible under the sound of the television and the blood rushing in Mountain's ears.
He bites back a whine, almost too late; he'd almost missed it rising in the back of his throat. Dew had already snapped at him once to shut up, the only acknowledgement of his presence Mountain has received since he came slinking into the common room, seeking Dew. He knows Dew can smell him. The want. The need. The submission coiled in his veins, ready to bend to his word. If he ever gives it.

Mountain is losing his mind. Pressed between Aether and Ifrit, their hands gentle on him, him clinging to them. Aether’s cock is already buried deep inside him, and Mountain rocks down onto it, whining. He bumps his face against the crook of his shoulder; all he wants is to bury his face against him, but he’s restricted by his muzzle, jutting out and keeping him far away from Aether’s skin. He whines louder, turning to Ifrit and dropping his forehead on his shoulder. Ifrit’s hand strokes through his hair, over the straps across the back of his head, lingering.
Mountain lifts his head, pleading silently with him. Ifrit’s face crumples into sympathy and he leans forward, pressing his lips to Mountain’s forehead.
I know. I know, I wish we could take it off, but we can’t, Ifrit murmurs, stroking his hand down Mountain’s back. We’ll make you feel good, though. I promise.
He makes good on that promise, dropping a hand between them to take Mountain’s cock in hand, stroking him slowly. Mountain groans, rocking between Ifrit’s hand and Aether’s cock and it’s overwhelming, but it’s not enough. He chitters low in his throat, reaching to where Ifrit’s cock presses against his thigh, pitching forward and halfway pulling off Aether.
