FICLET: "Huntsman's Compromise" (Harry/Lucius, smutty, non-con, ~350 words)

[amanuensis1]

I hadn't planned to do anything for Valentine's Day--sentimental blah blah--but I looked about at other's posts for the day and decided I couldn't leave that sea of fluff be. So here's some non-con to commemorate the day! ^_^ (Yes, it's still Valentine's Day here.)

Title: Huntsman's Compromise
Pairing: Harry/Lucius
Smuttiness, non-con, kink, dark, foolish Valentine's Day tie-in. 348 words


"A little more? Of course," Lucius murmured, voice soothing as a cool hand on a fevered brow, as he brought the glass to the boy's lips again, tilted it just enough to promise Potter another mouthful if he strained, limbs pulling at the limit of his chains, dry tongue probing past the lip of the glass to lap at the water. Not enough to quench his thirst, of course, but enough to sustain him for another hour or two of play, enough to make Potter fight to the very reach of his restraints for his reward of two gulps of water, if he showed himself desperate enough. He always did, the dear boy.

"That will do for now," Lucius withdrew the glass, smiling as if he were doing it for the boy's good. Potter whimpered, and Lucius's smile deepened; if Potter's throat was moist enough to allow a whimper, he was doing fine.

He set the glass upon the adjacent table, selected from it a device of silver and wire. "What say you wear this for a time, hmm?"

Potter's expresssion did not disapoint, though it was entertaining to feign that it had. "Oh, come," Lucius chided, not entirely hiding the chuckle that wanted to emerge. "I've left your urethra unmolested for days. Those tears are unseemly."

Bless him, Potter tried to check them. As he slipped the device into place, adjusting the wires just so, Lucius continued, "I don't doubt the Dark Lord will like your tears, mind, only that I think your enthusiasm would please him more. I haven't forgotten his words, if you have." The fingers of his face had touched Potter's face; one traced the boy's gasping mouth. "Shall I remind you? 'Show me his change of heart, Lucius, or show me his heart.'"

No sound except for his gasps, but Potter touched the tip of that finger with his tongue, drew it into his dry mouth and began to suck upon it with slavish humility, if not quite the eagerness Lucius hoped to display to his lord.

But he smiled. There was still time.

Illegal reference to the urethra. No fair making me squeeze my legs together in sympathy. But still, you somehow write non-con hot instead of icky. :)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I figured there would be lots of "You didn't warn for urethral torture!" protests, but I threw up my hands and shrugged. Hee!

"I've left your urethra unmolested for days. Those tears are unseemly."

Lucius cracks me up. Lovely drabble. Lucius is soooo cold. And Harry sufferes delightfully, as always!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Because he's HARRY. :D

[black-dog.livejournal.com]

This is such a perfect Lucius. Every line. He loves his work, doesn't he?

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Whee, I'm glad you think so! ^_^

[ariadneelda.livejournal.com]

How much do I love you for writing non-con for Valentine's Day? :D

Your Lucius is perfect! You've just created some very hot images in my head. *g*

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Every day is non-con day! I so declare. ^_^

[scarletscarlet.livejournal.com]

Oo, happy Valentines to me. That's a good note on which to toddle off to bed...

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

That makes me very happy that I could send you to bed on such a note. ^_~ *hugs*

[kissed-by-fate.livejournal.com]

'Show me his change of heart, Lucius, or show me his heart.'"

How I adore your turn-of-phrase skills.

I want to be your Lucius' non-con slave...but only your Lucius.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I thought the "heart" thing was a bit cliche, but, heck, so's Voldemort! ^_^ And yes, I know what you mean about wanting to choose the rapist. :D

[silverhielm.livejournal.com]

Great idea! And wonderfully written. There are so many things you can say and imply in just one sentence O_O

if Potter's throat was moist enough to allow a whimper, he was doing fine.

*dies*

And that bit about Harry licking Lucius's fingertip... oh, God. I love you :)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Ooh, you dear. I'm so happy you liked it! ^_^

[eeyore9990.livejournal.com]

*flutters eyelashes at you* That's the best Valentine's ficlet....ever! Lucius is always best when he's an indiscriminately evil bastard. And Harry just can't help being the tragic little whipping-boy, can he?

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

He can't help it as long as I'M the writer, I promise ya that. XD *snugs*

[angiepen.livejournal.com]

I love your Lucius, seriously. [snicker] He's such a fuckwad, but a smooth and refined fuckwad. :D

Angie

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, fuckwads are defined as successful if they're smooth and refined. :D Thanks very much!

[atdelphi.livejournal.com]

Ooh, wonderfully done.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Thank yew!

[cluegirl.livejournal.com]

*Applauds wildly!*

What I love best is that you don't SHOW us exactly what the 'device of silver and wire' is. You throw us a tantalizing hint of what it might be for, and you sketch for us what it will put Harry through, but you leave the rest to our lavishly lurid imaginations.

Bless you for that!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

At the risk of sounding immodest, exactly! I dunno about you, but if something involving wire was comin' at me, I'd get all freaked! ^_^

I couldn't leave that sea of fluff be. So here's some non-con to commemorate the day!

Woooot! And a Happy Non-con Valentine's Day to you too!

I've left your urethra unmolested for days.

*dead* ♥

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

*giggles, capers* *hugs*

[glockgal.livejournal.com]

Oh Lucius, why are you so awesomely scary and yet so cool?! Everything about this little ficlet of joy is 'and yet'. It's so not right and yet I totally enjoyed it in a couch-gripping way. It was crying!Harry which is usually annoying and yet you manage to write him - in 350 words, no less - as Harry: frustrated and desperate as opposed to girly and whiny. It's only 350 words and yet you infuse an ENTIRE story into such a short amount of time.

I love you and yet I LOVE YOU EVEN MORE!!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Oh, you darling! Aren't I terrible, to reduce Harry to tears all these times as if to say, "Yes, Harry doesn't cry, EXCEPT IN MY FICS IT'S JUSTIFIED DAMMIT." XD

[telepwen.livejournal.com]

And it's things like this that keep me in fandom. I swear. How can I leave fandom when you give us such deliciousness? You just completely made it worth waking up this morning.

I could just see Potter straining at his chains. And he's breaking! He's going to make an absolutely fantastic gift pretty damned soon.

*glees*

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

If I am a little responsible for making you hang around fandom, I'm freaking ecstatic. :D *hugs*

[demonqueen666.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! Nothing says "I love you" like hot rape-fic!

...what? That's how I say "I love you"...

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I love your logic. :D

[fabularasa.livejournal.com]

"I've left your urethra unmolested for days" should be the new title of your journal. Just saying. It's the money shot of the word "urethra" that really had me howling -- in pain, sympathy, or amusement, I couldn't tell. That's the fun of your non-con (or your any-con, really), is that you constantly confound reader expectations. Wait. Is this supposed to be funny? Or weirdly hot? Or disturbing? Or just weird? Or maybe just hot? And you, the author, sit back and shrug and say, "Dunno. It's whatever you find it." And reader autonomony, as you know, gets me hotter than devices of silver and wire strung in interesting and no doubt excruciating ways up Harry Potter's peter.

[belleamant.livejournal.com]

I must say that this is the best review... ever! seconds it...

[harvest-blue.livejournal.com]

I don't know how you do it. 348 words later, and I'm gasping and squirming in my chair. Every damn time. *grins* Fantastic, as always.

I want to put this comment in a little "I need a lift today" place. ^_^ Thank you so much. *schnoogles*

[dreamred.livejournal.com]

'Show me his change of heart, Lucius, or show me his heart.'

That line made it for me. Excellent, as always. Happy valentines to you, even though it's long gone already.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Hee, I couldn't resist, even if it had cliche all over it! ^_^ Thank you!

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Your Lucius is teh sex, Amy <333

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Aww! Well, he certainly gets me hot. :D

[xos2ed.livejournal.com]

"Shall I remind you? 'Show me his change of heart, Lucius, or show me his heart.'"

So deliciously evil!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

[ex-ella-bane358.livejournal.com]

Hee! This was so wicked.

"I've left your urethra unmolested for days. Those tears are unseemly."

Why did this make me squeal with glee?

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]
