Dread and Desire

Title: Dread and Desire
Author: [livejournal.com profile] savageseraph
Pairing: Zeus/Lucifer
Rating: R
Warnings: Noncon
Beta: [livejournal.com profile] caras_galadhon
Prompt(s): #13: "fossils held fast in ancient stone"
Disclaimer: Don't own the characters or worlds. Just play with them for my own entertainment.
Summary: There was a fine line between dread and desire.



Lucifer knew there was a fine line between fear and fascination, dread and desire. That was why mortals frolicked with their horrors in art and fiction. Places they thought were safe enough to let them dare and dance with their demons. Safety, like surety, was an illusion, one that Lucifer learned to turn to his advantage even before he had Fallen. Stripping those things from a person bared their souls, made them ripe for the picking.

Working a person's fears was a skill, one that Lucifer honed over centuries. Oddly, mortals tested his talents more than gods. They were more complex, less predictable. After all, one didn't need an excess of cunning to figure a lord of storm and sky would find confined spaces deep underground oppressive.

The space Lucifer took Zeus to was cut off from light, from air. They couldn't suffocate, but the discomfort was a constant and inescapable pressure, an echo of the weight of the dark and mountain of stone enveloping them. It was more comfort than confinement to Lucifer, but Zeus sweated, trembled. He made sweet, shivery sounds deep in his throat every time he shifted and an arm or foot bumped into solid stone.

Lucifer made sure he was buried in Zeus, curled around him before his power drove them down to the tiny cave, like two fossils caught in ancient stone. The rough stone overhead scraped Lucifer's back, delicious as the claws of a Fury, just as he was sure it was scratching Zeus's belly. There wasn't room for them to turn over or shift position.

However, there was room enough for Lucifer to slide his hands across Zeus's chest, room enough for him to pinch Zeus's nipples hard enough to draw a sharp cry from him. There was just room enough for Lucifer to ride Zeus in short, hard thrusts, for Zeus to tighten around him and try to buck him off when he rolled his hips. There was more than room enough for him to come and to savor the soft, pleading sounds Zeus couldn't control or hold back as he hardened again inside of him.

There was a fine line between dread and desire. Lucifer wondered how long he could hold Zeus under, vibrating between the two, before he shattered.

I am so much in awe. This is a great pairing and sorry if this sounds cliché, but it's hotter than hell. Wonderful!

Awwww! I'm sooooo glad you liked it!

I so love the claustrophobic atmosphere you have created for these two. Makes everything even more intimate. Very sexy indeed.

I'm so glad this one works. It was the last one I worked on, and I just wasn't sure at that point.

This is a dangerous game that Lucifer is playing, but perhaps he's tired of always winning...thanks for sharing.

Hmmm. Maybe he is. I think I might have to keep exploring these characters a bit more.

... probably for a very long time (in response to the last line). one doesn't get to be king of the gods by being weak. and then who knows. zeus might figure out a trick of his own.

He made sweet, shivery sounds deep in his throat...

...he was buried in Zeus, curled around him before his power drove them down to the tiny cave, like two fossils caught in ancient stone. The rough stone overhead scraped Lucifer's back, delicious as the claws of a Fury, just as he was sure it was scratching Zeus's belly...
gorgeous, expressive, and sinful (that's a compliment) wording on these. and more non-con... yay!

Sinful is good. I like sinful. Mwahahahahaha... *g*

I really do love how easily Lucifer is able to turn Zeus's fears and desires against him. Gorgeous and shivery-good. ^_^

Mwah! *hugs* Glad you like it. ^_^

There're more of these? Excellent. I could read this pairing forever! The pair of them caught in stone is fantastic, the image, and Zeus' fear tastes so sweet - it's ilinx, voluptuous panic. Gah, so good.

Voluptuous panic? Mmmm. I like that idea quite a lot. ^_^ I think I might bring these boys out again as I work on my kink bingo square.

The claustrophobia and horror of where they are is beautifully done. Zeus' fear and need fighting each other just fuels all of that fire and you've made it so very intense. Thanks so much for sharing!

[identity profile] savageseraph.livejournal.com 2010-07-05 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks for the lovely feedback! ^_^

Gosh swept away. Fierce, fiery and oh so subtle Lucifer dragging Zeus down to caverns of lust. Who will win eventually? I think they will both be winners, it takes two to create really 'hot sex.'
Many thanks

Hee. That's the thing. Sometimes, even the loser can be a winner. ^_^

Your imagery is always great and that picture of them like two fossils caught in ancient stone is so vivid and compelling.The oppressive, claustrophobic atmosphere throughout is very effective and as always, the erotic charge in your writing is electric.Thank you again.

Ooooo! Thanks so much for reading and the lovely, lovely feedback! *beams*

an echo of the weight of the dark and mountain of stone enveloping them

wow! super idea, beautifully executed.

Phew! I'm glad you liked it. This was one of the more difficult ones for me, so I'm glad it worked for you. ^_^
