for Dorian (makingmyway)

[bigmoonlittlemoon]

Dark Orym AU




[The world has changed significantly in the months since the Apogee Solstice. The ceremony, the plans of Ludinus Da'leth had not gone exactly as expected. But they had, in the end, been successful enough. Predathos itself had not been fully released, not physically, but the very essence of it had been called down from Ruidus, broken out of its chains and left with only one choice of where to go.

Orym had been in the wrong place at the wrong time -- or perhaps the right -- an attempt at dislodging the obsidian-like orb that had been the Raven Queen's Champion, the Tempest's Lover. The machine had fired anyway, and for the halfling who had been caught straight in that beam, everything was pain and red.

When he woke, he hadn't been himself. Not entirely. He remembered everything, knew who he was, but he was something more now, something that hungered for so much more than Orym had ever desired. His own desires remained, though they'd been turned to near desperate obsessions. He would not lose anyone else that he loved in this absurd struggle; he would not allow it. It was that reflexive need brought on the bright and blinding flash of light that sent Bell's Hells and their allies scattering to the winds, teleported far enough away to be safe in a very broad sense of the word.

As the lights faded and the smoke cleared, as Ludinus and the rest realized what had happened, Orym had felt this new power course through him. And soon everyone came to know it. He'd killed Da'leth and Thull with little more than a glance. A swift death was more than they deserved for what they had been responsible for, what they'd done to Will and Derrig, what they'd tried to do to Laudna. From there, well, Paragon's Call and the Ruby Vanguard answered to him now. Orym, formerly of the Air Ashari, now of the Red Moon. Soon the world would answer to him, and this ridiculous play of gods and monsters would be over.

At his command, his forces have been trying to locate and bring back the rest of his friends. If he can keep them close, he can keep them safe. By now though, he knows that his friends have banded together to fight him. It stings, of course it stings, but he knows that they just don't understand. It doesn't change that he cares for them, and his people have been given strict instructions that while Bell's Hells and the Crown Keepers are to be fended off, they are not be irreparably harmed. They are dear and precious to Orym, and his anger while still quiet and subdued is lethal these days.

He misses his friends. Most nights he holds the sending stone and calls out to Dorian, just wanting to hear his voice, to know that he is safe. But there never seems to be an answer. It doesn't stop him, and most nights the words are simple. 'I hope you're okay, Dorian. I just want to hear your voice again. I miss it. I miss you.'

Today the skirmish that has broken out has been a violent one. Sometime during the fighting, Dorian seems to have been separated off, and the bard has taken a significant amount of damage. Maybe that's what has brought Orym actually out to the battlefield. He so seldom joins the fight these days, but this.

This requires his presence.

Dorian is here. Of everyone that he's wanted to see, the Air Genasi is the one who has had his heart aching the most, the feelings that he'd done so much to try to hide for Dorian's sake, no longer feeling that need to be hidden. Who else could protect him better than Orym? No one. He can give Dorian the world if he wants it, anything.

So when Orym slips in on the edges of the fray, when he sees one of his mages level a spell that sends Dorian sprawling to the ground, the halfling's voice rings out, stern and unyielding.]

Enough.

[He punctuates the words with a gesture towards the Paragon's Call member who had made the attack. A crimson hand appears and wraps itself around their throat, squeezing the life out of the solider slowly.]

You will not hurt him.

[ Dorian sucks in a sharp breath that rises into a needy moan, his hips trying to rock and press into Orym’s hips, into his hand, but his movement is still restricted by the unseen hands around him. But the combination of sensation in and over him are driving him to insanity, sparks of heat pulsing throughout his entire body. ]

I-I want…I just want you, Orym…please. Please…harder…fill me up…make me come again…I need you…

[bigmoonlittlemoon]

You have me, Dorian. You'll always have me, all of me...

[Promises that Orym wants to be true, even if he knows that he's losing himself to the thing inside him. But for as long as there is some of him left, it's Dorian's. The bard may well remain his link to his own humanity.

So he gives him exactly what he's asked for. He thrusts hard against him now, faster, plunging as deeply as he can with each thrust, the sound of skin striking skin loud in the room, mingled with pants and moans.]

Fuck... so perfect for me, beautiful. So tight. [Gripping at his cock like he was drawing him back in every time his hips rock backwards.]

[makingmyway]

[ The words manage to cut through the haze of lust, filling him with a love that seems to reach deep into his soul. It’s what he wants, more than anything, just to be with Orym, for them to be together.

Things are so complicated now, but at the moment at least, he can pretend that it’s just the two of them like this.

He gasps when Orym’s increases his pace, each thrust sending a shock throughout his entire body, heat once again pooling into his core. He can’t do much, still not able to move except for his walls tightening around the length inside him, as Orym’s name falls from his lips like a chant, a prayer. ]

[bigmoonlittlemoon]

[Orym's pace has grown almost frenzied now, chasing his release, just ahead of him. His eyes are fixed on Dorian's face, watching him with undisguised desire, but there is love there too. There has always been love there.

So maybe there's that flicker of crimson at the edge of green as he buries himself deep inside him again and again, so so close. His fingers are wrapped firmly around Dorian's length still, thumb coaxing along the underside of his cock, jerking in time to his movements.]

Let go, beautiful. Let go with me... [Another hard crash of his hips and his body jerks as he comes, painting the inside of that tight passage white with his seed, hips pressed to Dorian's ass still rutting against him through the entirety of his orgasm.]

[makingmyway]

[ Dorian gasps as the pace starts to falter, the almost frantic motion starting to send the pressure within him boiling over. But it's Orym's words, almost like a command, that finally allows the pressure to release, and with a keening cry he comes for a second time. Blinding light explodes across his vision as he stripes his and Orym's stomachs with his essence, and his muscles grip the cock inside him, as though his body was trying to milk Orym dry.

His face flushed, his body completely collapses back on the bed, his breathing ragged as he's lost to the overwhelming pleasure, floating in the bliss of the aftermath. ]

[bigmoonlittlemoon]

[There. There it is. Dorian -- always strikingly handsome -- looks more exquisitely beautiful in this moment, as he lets go and that pleasure rushes over him, than anything that Orym has ever seen.

And moves with him through it, all of it, until that moment that Dorian settles back to the bed. Those unseen hands leave, but not without a soft caress, a gentle soothing touch before dissipating into air. Orym pants softly as the aftershocks of his climax rock through him.]

[makingmyway]

[ Dorian shivers as Orym still rocks into him, and whimpers softly at the gentle touch of those hands that seem to be all around him, until they disappear, leaving him feeling adrift along the waves of pleasure still coursing through him.

With a few ragged breaths of his own, he swallows the lump in his throat as he opens his eyes, looking up at Orym with a drunken sort of smile, his eyes still shining bright with love and want. ]

[bigmoonlittlemoon]

[Orym lingers above him, reaching down to brush back his hair from his face, fingers caressing softly over sweat-damp skin. The halfling smiles back, looking down in clear adoration at him.

There's a pulse of that reassurance and warmth and love through the magic that he'd wrapped Dorian in earlier, a gentle snare, but a snare nevertheless. He won't let Dorian escape it, will do whatever he can to keep the bard by his side, where he can protect him.]

My beautiful Dorian... feel all right?

[makingmyway]

[ Dorian hums a reply, a soft, content sound as he leans into Orym’s touch. His eyes glow ever so faintly with the magic gently clouding his mind before they drift closed. ]

Mm…never better. As long as you’re here.

[ He can barely remember how the world outside is falling apart, when he’s here with the one person who he’d been so longing to see. ]

[bigmoonlittlemoon]

I'm right here. With you.

[Slowly and carefully, Orym draws his softening cock free and moves to settle in closer, moving up to catch the other man's lips in a kiss.]

I will always be with you.

[He looks down at him.]

And you're safe now. I'll make sure of it.

[makingmyway]

[ A soft sound rises from his throat at the kiss, and despite feeling completely boneless he manages to reach up and cradle Orym’s face in his hands as he returns it while he can, and gently stroking his cheeks with his thumbs as he looks up at him. ]

Yeah? You’re still always looking out for me, huh?

[ Even if now it doesn’t feel…quite as right. ]

[bigmoonlittlemoon]

Always.

[Orym agrees as he leans into that touch, stealing another kiss before he settles himself draped atop the bard.]

The others too. We'll find them and explain, so they'll understand. So they can be safe as well.

[All his loved ones and this brand new world.]

[makingmyway]

[ Wrapping his arms around Orym, he pulls him close with a nod. ]

Okay.

[ That sounded fine. It was all just a misunderstanding, and once they clear everything up with the others they can all be safe.

It was all fine…So why did the thought still make his heart twist? ]

[bigmoonlittlemoon]

[Orym sighs his contentment at being in Dorian's arms. For now the presence inside him also rested, content to linger in this victory, in having Dorian close. Orym and the godeater were in agreement over this being the way the world ought to be.

And that contentment radiated from him, that subtle magic that clouded Dorian's mind flooded full of it as well.]

Where are they, love? Do you know where we can find them?

[makingmyway]

[ Dorian inhales softly, the simple endearment coupled with the touch of magic causing his heart to skip. In any other circumstance, it wouldn’t be difficult to just give in to Orym, to give him whatever he asked for.

But even then…he can’t help still wondering about all this. Is this…really how things are supposed to be? ]

I’m…not entirely sure. We had a few different places where we were hiding out in…case of things like this.

[ In case someone was captured like this. ]

I could…mark them out on a map? Maybe in the morning?

[ He doesn’t really want to think about all that at the moment. Right now, he just wants to be with Orym. ]

[bigmoonlittlemoon]

Mm. We'll talk about it tomorrow.

[They can worry about it then. Right now he just wants to enjoy the fact that he's finally not alone anymore, that he has Dorian with him. Orym has missed him so very much, and that has not changed even once he's found himself changed.]

What matters right now is you're here.

[And Orym will make certain that everyone knows that Dorian is here and under his protection and not to be harmed in any, or Orym's retribution will be swift and likely ruthless.]

Let me stay here tonight? I don't want to leave your side.

[makingmyway]

[ That’s more than okay with him; the thought of Orym leaving after all this making him uncomfortably nervous. ]

Yes, please stay. [ His arms gently tighten around Orym’s smaller frame. ] I don’t want to be alone tonight.
