OC Kiss Week #2 with @victorgrwrites' Jack Punch. What if we spiderman kissed while you did aerial silks......

[lamortwrites]

Begin?

"You looked so good covered in blood," they breathe, eyes half closing as they remember the sight. "How much prettier would you look if it was your own? Your artery is here"--they tap the spot, feeling his pulse jump beneath their fingers--"but that would be too quick. I could cut around it, though. Leave it intact while your veins leak crimson down the outside of your throat." They force themselves back in to the present, remind themselves that, at least right now, he is worth more to them alive than dead. "Is that the answer you were looking for?"

Gortash makes a sound low in his throat, something half pained, almost desperate. It rumbles through where their fingers are still pressed to his neck. He clears his throat. Swallows. Blinks away some of the haziness in his eyes.

"You've thought about it, then."

His voice is rough, but they know they didn't exert enough pressure to bruise.

"I'm always thinking about it."

5, 6, and 11 for the new Durgetash asks!

answering these asks, thank you!

5. If, by some twist of fate, you’d be stuck in a room with these two, what would you do? What would they do? Would anybody leave that room unhurt? Oh, both know you’re responsible for creating Durge the way they are btw.

oh, I'm dead. zero question. even if neither of them know who I am, unless I happen to have something that Gortash needs me alive for (which I def don't lol, esp the me from this universe) the only outcome from being stuck in a room w Gortash and Labrys for anyone is death. if I'm lucky, maybe I'll get a threesome out of it first, but even then Labrys will still kill me either during or directly after

6. What’s the most wholesome hc you have for them? Something they did, a particular approach at bonding, just them being disgustingly soft once? Some good old hand in hand vivisection?

answered here and here, but I have actually been thinking about them most of the day so I'll add:

there's a comfort and a surety in mutual dislike that doesn't exist in spaces of positive emotion. these are two incredibly selfish individuals who have nothing but each other to rely on in this world (and, honestly, whether they even do rely on each other is mostly up for debate) -- were they the types to put stock in liking or trusting each other, their alliance would have fallen apart within a few months of meeting. it's the antagonism and the power struggle that they can each rely on, the knowledge that the other does not and will not care for them beyond what they can get out of it.

when you like someone, there is an instinct to soften the rougher edges of yourself, to make yourself more palatable -- more likely for them to like, in return. even amongst friends who like you for who you are there is often still a temptation to show only the best sides of yourself: if I show how ugly my face is, will they still want to look upon it? if I lash out with intent to hurt, will they decide I am no longer worth the effort? if I let them see me as anything less than perfect, will they still think I have anything to offer them?

for Gortash and Labrys -- and, indeed, for most villain4villain couples -- the ugliness is the point. they make each other worse because they want to see each other worse, want to push and push so that they can prove that they are justified in the dislike and disdain that, somewhere along the line, evens out into an uneasy mutual respect. there is a sense of safety that comes with knowing that someone has seen the worst of you and yet still chooses you over anyone else, time and time again, something that cannot be matched by petty feelings such as liking each other.

11. Sceleritas my beloved, how exactly does he fit in there?

answered here!

@victorgrwrites replied to your post “btw my favorite bit of writing that last piece is...”:

I see he has a type.

​oh my god you're right
