smash or pass w/ the might of noxus | NOT accepting.@impeccable-decision

considering the small hero crush he harbored on the man during his youth and the eventual closeness afforded by their jobs, there’s no shadow of doubt to darius that he held a great level of attraction for him since years ago. it’s almost embarrassing to think back on it, truly. still, the question is a bit funny to him, considering that now that they are not chief-and-subordinate ( the role of prosecutor fit him like a glove---far better than being a detective, he assumes by now ) they could actually pursue a relationship.

and that they did.

“considering he’s my lover?” a cocked eyebrow and a little snicker comes from him, as if very much amused. “smash.”

send ∅ for jericho’s opinion on your muse | @impeccable-decisionaccepting.

AN EYEBROW QUIRKED at the sudden inquiry, swain seems to be surprised anyone would be bold enough to ask. his right hand man, his other half, his most loyal companion—what words were there to offer to him that he had not already uttered in between them? what could he possibly say that had already not been said? the half-vastayan had been with him through thick and thin, through glory and disgrace, through nearly every single relevant moment of his story he could possibly think of.

unblinking red eyes upon the questioning fellow, he shifts his gaze from then to the older, shorter man. a smile graces his lips and while it is a faint thing, it seems truly appreciative, a sight rare coming from the demon general.

how dangerous indeed, this need for sincerity he feels. 

“korbin is certainly one of the most invaluable men i’ve had the honor to meet,” praise as obvious as the one he offers to his hand is almost unheard of spilling past his lips. a difficult, hardened man as jericho hardly cares to be flattering to the unworthy and as he’s come to notice in his mission to cleanse his nation of its corruption, those sadly outnumbered their opposite. “his sheer value to the establishment of this new era we plan to usher forth for the empire is incalculable; had he not been a man of such worth, perhaps all my efforts would’ve been for naught.”

❛ I savor bitterness - it is born of experience. It is the privilege of one who has truly lived. ❜

deathless sentence meme | @impeccable-decisionaccepting.

THIS COUNTERPART OF HIS seems to hold many similarities in views and posture despite the obvious differences they hold at surface level. their tales are different, he has so learnt, but he can easily relate, easily grasp what the other speaks of---with all that life has both given and taken from him, he knows bitterness, he knows how life morphs into the most unexpected scenarios in the blink of an eye. from a highborne sheep, to a decorated veteran, to an outcast, to the vision. so many ways his tale could’ve gone and yet, despite how sinuous a road it had been, it had driven him exactly where he should’ve ended. 

curious yet, how he’d not dare to attribute it to fate. he knows how many machinations were involved, how much he struggled and fought to reach where he now stood; he’d not undermine it by pinning it on fate. picking his piece from the board at his turn on their shared boardgame (apparently, yet another thing they both held dear, a taste befitting of strategists like themselves), he makes his move as he hums, murky red eyes meeting gold.

“that, my friend,” the clinking of the marble against wood is satisfying, but it takes nothing away from the knowing look the younger of the two holds as he keeps his gaze leveled with the master tactician’s. “---is a wise statement. as long as that bitterness does not blind one from true purpose, then it is merely mark of those who have seen enough not to bear to remain naïve.”

“i remember the time i thought him merely the lesser of two evils.”

it sounds less like a confession, more like a statement. it’s true, however, that between darkwill and swain, at first, he simply had the urge to remedy one’s corruption with the best possible alternative and while he held no ambition to be the next grand general, he knew a man perfectly capable for the throne; while his methods were often questionable in his opinion, his strategic brilliance was undeniable. 

ah, how time changes views, how it shaped things differently. now, not only do they share a cause, but they share their lives, their beds---indeed, years had changed much.

“now, i’m aware he’s much more than simply that. yes, his methods can still be---questionable, but noxus was not built for men blinded of purpose. and he knows purpose, he’s been through enough he’d be nowhere without it.” he pauses, considers his following words. he cannot be obvious, no, but--- “he now holds a place in my esteem none outside himself do.”

// tell me about smashing or passing the old man in whatever verse you want, jayce. (':

send me “smash or pass” + a name and jayce will answer with 100% honesty | accepting@impeccable-decision

the annuller seems a little conflicted as to whether he should answer this honestly or not. tilting his head to the side, he considers his words carefully, even though the very question at hand is anything but careful. a demacian in noxus is always under scrutiny, regardless of whether he’s the grand general’s favorite or not --- no matter whether that favoritism comes from both love and a taste for competence.

“well, it’s a bit rude to ask that, if you want me to be honest.” cocking an eyebrow, it’s exactly like that he decides to open his statement. “but the grand general is a fine man, of great qualities,” not to mention his lover, but he needn’t make that public. “so i suppose i couldn’t pass him.”

it’s a roundabout way of speaking the truth, but it seems to suit his place in noxian grounds better than just plain bluntness.

Darius always puts him at something of a disadvantage, when it comes to spontaneity - between his Hand's constant vigilance and the sheer difference in their sizes (to say nothing of his own disability), there isn't much that Jericho can do that will truly surprise his lover. Still, he sees an opportunity now, as Darius leans close, head bowed towards the maps they're poring over. In a pause between words, he turns, cupping Darius's jaw and tipping it up to deliver a lingering, meaningful kiss.

hit darius w/ your best kiss | @impeccable-decisionaccepting.

the kiss comes in as the surprise intended, the hand’s focus being mostly put into the maps they were analyzing for their next expansionist move; surely it was more of a surprise to be kissed, too, not for lack of intent from the other party but for the fact there was hardly an opportunity for the grand general to try, their height difference far from negligible. the sudden touch to his face makes the taller man’s eyes widen before he understands exactly what is happening. a smile curves his lips into the kiss a moment after and he leans into it, one hand coming to jericho’s hair, callused and gauntleted fingers treading through it. 

when the half-vastayan pulls away, he chuckles softly, expression not betraying at all how this turn of events pleased him — there’s certainly a great amount of warmth to those rust red eyes as they meet gold.

“aren’t you quite opportunist.” 

he knows the other man has likely heard those words from others in far less gentle ways, but with how he regards swain now, it’s clear his intent is quite the opposite: he means it as flattery and it sounds as such in the hushed, soft way it is spoken.

📂📂📂 (for my demacian boy)

send “📂“ for a random yet completely useless headcanon for jay | @impeccable-decisionaccepting.

1) his hair is slightly lighter than mainverse, mostly because he worked a lot outdoors – a lot more. again, think of brighthammer’s hair color in comparison to classic’s.2) he always has petricite on him. always. both to alleviate any excessive influence of magic in case he’s on a mission and because it’s a way to ease his own anxiety, fiddling with the pendant. it’s a stim, yes.3) on the other headcanon, too — he usually doesn’t wear the petricite piece he has as a pendant unless he’s off duty. he prefers to keep it concealed to avoid having someone hostile steal it from him, so during those circumstances, he usually wears it as an anklet inside his boot.
