Tebryn iterations until I can get his face right
Oh Tebryn, we're in it now...
Horny/bratty Durgetash banter - a compilation
All from my fic How to Sell Your Soul Completely
Bonus snippet from an upcoming chapter:
Need to round up all the examples of Tebryn insulting Gortash (and Astarion) and just generally being super fucking childish because it’s actually my favourite trait of his.
I’m not a big fan of rigid top/bottom roles in my characters but Tebryn being a total bottom/submissive and his attitude about it just made sense for his character in this story.
In a kink context, it’s the idea that it’s really the sub who’s in charge because the dom is generally doing what they want within their desires and boundaries, the sub controls the scene with the use of safewords. (This can of course be subverted many different ways, and doms still have boundaries, but this is one way of looking at it.) Tebryn feels most in control of himself when someone he trusts (Gortash) has full control over him. He can let the Urge free when he’s bound and immobilized. Plus he’s a shit-stirrer and a little bratty, pushing Gortash’s buttons is how he gets what he wants.
Early in their relationship, it was advantageous for Tebryn to appear weaker than he was to Gortash (he’s a 5’6” drow, Bhaal really did him dirty with that) in case he needed to kill him. Gortash figured out the ruse pretty quickly when seeing him in combat.
As for being a bottom, it’s purely preference. Outside of this story he’s more versatile (see Pound of Flesh, Pint of Blood) but he definitely has a preference. Feels good, try it some time.
I always love seeing in art and fic the different interpretations of Durge’s relationship with Bhaal.
For Tebryn’s story, I had Bhaal be a seemingly absent father, having only directly spoken to Tebryn three times in his life (and he’s around 60-70 years old, still young for an elf). Bhaal is still very domineering and controlling via the Urge, but he’s a very sit back and judge silently kind of father. It keeps Tebryn in the dark and always chasing validation, therefore, always pleasing Bhaal no matter what. He’s definitely done things he didn’t want to.
