Ooo, can you do Forced to Watch for BTHB? Characters are your choice?
Ohhh, Bleu, yes please!
I have a fic I've had floating in my head forever about this.
Once more, i'mma outline my ideas and put this on my writing docket:
Feat. The Agency's Tibenoch and Shae
Tibs and Shae are on a portal-and-veil training run. They get captured by the Inquest (yes, this is reverting straight to GW2 stuff because it's an idea that's been in my head forever).
Tibs is targeted, but they take Shae because they know she's his apprentice.
Tibs is tied down, forced to watch Shae be tortured (and she holds her own for a while, she's a trooper, but the Inquest is cruel) as he's peppered with questions about vital interactions.
Shae nearly dies, and Tibs breaks down and feeds some information to their whumpers (gotta figure out how to make it something "vital" enough that they'll buy it, but not enough to seriously endanger the Agency's operations).
Satisfied, they shove bags over both agents' heads and drive them out into the wilderness before dumping them.
Tibs, relatively uninjured, returns to base.
This is gonna be fun.
It also leads to a bunch of awesome follow up fics where Tibs deals with
Guilt and self-loathing about how he was unhurt and Shae almost died
Fear that Shae won't like him or trust him
Punishment from the Commander for leaking information (though she has a bit of a caretaker moment where she thanks and commends him for saving Shae)
Punishment from Lylen for the same and for endangering Shae
Punishment from the Doc for endangering Shae, but also a moment of understanding because she knows what he had to do.
Comfort from Shae
Comfort from Marek, but Marek still whumps Tibs a bit because he was so afraid for the sprout. But when Tibs breaks down about his own fears and his own guilt, Marek switches to caretaker mode.
And from the Sprout:
Her fear and recovery
Her pride at lasting so long, and the reactions her various caretakers have to that
Her confusion about why Tibs feels bad. She knows he did what he had to, he still saved her, and she thought he'd be proud of her for lasting so long. But also some blame and anger - did she not sign up for this? She knows she's young and cute, but she signed up to fight.
Her fury with Lylen, the Commander and the Doc for whumping Tibs despite all he's been through.
Her own self-loathing and excessive training to "never be caught again".
Her nightmares and unexpected flashbacks or mild PTSD from the kidnapping.
Dear lord it's turned into a series...
Anything else you'd like to see? I'll try to incorporate specific things if you let me know what you like. :3
