Crimson Dawn
For @p1nkcanoe.
Rating: Explicit. Pairing(s): Aeon/Swiss. Dew/Swiss (if you squint). Nothing explicit, literally just some kissing. Featuring: Murder ghouls. Blood. Gore. Violence. Death (Sibling of Sin). Blood Drinking. Angst on Aeon's part. Aeon fucked up and now Dew has to fix it. Dew being annoyed. A whole lot of character development. New Murder Ghoul Lore. Swiss being Swiss. Sunshine shows up for a second. So much blood. Kissing. A little bit of a blood kink (mostly my own). On screen Sibling of Sin murder. Word Count: 3.5k+
It's Aeon's first pack hunt topside. He makes a mistake (or ten).
Dew whistles low and Aeon stumbles to his feet. Turning to look at his packmates. Guilt smeared across his face.
“I didn’t mean to.” The words tumble out. Aeon wrings his hands. He doesn’t know where to look. At the blood all over his hands. At the sharp lines of Dew’s face, at Sunshine, who has broken away from Dew’s side in favor of circling Aeon’s kill. Head tilted. There’s blood and twigs in her copper curls. Dark bruises on her neck no doubt from Mountain’s teeth. Aeon almost asks where everyone else is before he remembers that’s the last thing he should be thinking about. They’re standing at the base of the grand staircase. Right inside the front door. He shudders.
The abbey will be waking up soon. And this?
Dew claps Aeon on his shoulder, boney fingers digging in just a little. It pulls him out of his panic just enough to refocus his eyes on Dew’s face.
“Almost as bad as when Sunny did it,” Dew says with a shrug. Sunshine scoffs somewhere behind Aeon.
“I don’t know, this is pretty bad.”
