I need Robby to rock Whitaker's world out of pure jealousy.
I also need power bottom Abbot having Robby on his knees in pure reverence as foreplay.
Herberts reaction. I can’t fucking deal with this
By the light of a single candle, my quarters become a steeple. I kneel, after many arduous hours of duty, and polish my blade. This is my prayer. As my fingers caress the cold, sleek metal, I am unable to stop myself from thinking, instead, of your skin. I tremble at the thought—to touch you, my prince, my God… But these hands have done terrible things, and I must not sully you with them. It is my duty to bleed so you do not have to, my lord. I am dirty so that you may remain clean. I dare not wish to know your touch, for I am not worthy of such grace and gentleness.
Instead, I will polish this blade—that which has killed for you—and I will sit by this candlelight, and I will whisper your name.
This is my prayer. My communion.
