Blackout
S J Smith

Rating:Teen

Warnings: Sex (possibly non-con)

Pairing: Lan Fan and Greed!Ling.


She sees nothing, not even the faintest hint of light. It is what she requests and he doesn't deny her this – complete darkness when he comes to her. The creature is not her prince, not the boy she grew up protecting, not the young man she knew she loved. There might be some similarities – Ling told her that much, during one of the times he was in command of their ( Ling's) body, otherwise the creature might've swallowed her prince's soul whole, leaving nothing but a carcass behind.

His hands touched her, smoothed over her skin, woke her desires. His caresses were nothing like Ling's even though the touch was the same. All of her senses screamed that he was not Ling but she allowed this, all the same. How could she protest? Ling was now emperor. His word was law. She could not naysay him; there was no point in even considering the rebuff.

But she could do this – make him come to her in darkness, not force her to witness someone else manipulating her (Ling's) body. And even as he lifted her to heights of passion, Lan Fan knew Ling's soul cried out with hers, like the sound of bitter tears wept in total darkness.
