"Palamedes is a bottom it's practically canon" I don't usually comment on the tags but 100% agree.
"Pyrrha’s not generally a fan of mixing sex with food, although she’s made exceptions before. Plus, scrambled eggs aren’t exactly an aphrodisiac." *SNERK*
"“Palamedes says—well, this body is holding a lot of tension between the two of us, and Pyrrha, we were wondering if you could maybe help out sometime with the…” She pauses, glances at Nona. “The physical side of things.” “Like doing exercises? Like press-ups?” Nona frowns. “Yes, like press-ups?” Pyrrha asks, innocently" <3 <3 <3
"Pyrrha knows what Cam really wants, all the time, a burning ache that won’t go away. The question isn’t what Camilla Hect wants; it’s what Camilla Hect wants that Pyrrha can actually give." OW
"The first time Pyrrha surfaced after she died was in the middle of Gideon fucking someone, which, honestly, was not exactly ideal. She’d come to, gasping, Gideon’s cock buried hilt deep in some pretty brunette Cohort officer with a fantastic ass, and Pyrrha was so shocked at the simple act of being alive that she’d promptly begun screaming her head off, fantastic ass be damned." YEEP!
"How he’d only asked for vodka and a belt to bite down on the first time she’d cracked his skull to sieve out his brain fluid, how he’d barely made any noise during all their torture exposure sessions for all those years, but had screamed and sobbed like a child as she lay dying in front of him." OOF
"In those moments the woman in front of them would melt away, and Pyrrha could tell that Gideon felt the golden glory of their togetherness, too, better than any lay either of them could have in this life or the next. One flesh, one end—it was fucking real, for a while, wasn’t it?" Whoo. Damn.
"and Camilla’s breathing heavier now, if Pyrrha hadn’t been living with her for months she wouldn’t be able to tell anything was amiss but she can can see Camilla’s control is quickly going out the window, her eyes are heavy-lidded with anticipation as she gazes down, so Pyrrha takes off the underwear to have her naked and spread and dusky pink before her, and Pyrrha has been alive for millennia but has rarely seen anything so beautiful." This works so well as a run-on, the way thoughts do in this kinda scenario.
"Suddenly, Cam puts one arm on Pyrrha’s knee, arches backward; her eyes roll back into her head, a bead of sweat runs down her sternum, she lets out the most divine sound— And then he’s at the front, blinking owlishly at the transition. “I—“ Palamedes says, looking around, down, then inhales sharply with the sensation, face alight with surprise. “Oh, we—Pyrrha—“ “Ah.” Pyrrha reluctantly wills herself to still, catches her breath, puts her hands on Cam’s hips to steady her thrusts. “Sextus. Well, hello, I guess.” It’s incredible how one can live for thousands of years and still experience the thickness of an awkward pause." *slow clap* I ADORE this. I knew it was coming, and that did nothing to diminish how good it is.
"even this sound has an undercurrent of scholarly observation, like everything he does. He’s taking notes on what it means to be fucked with a cunt, Pyrrha realizes, and almost laughs out loud." He would!
"Pyrrha’s secondhand old heart" OOF
"So their first kiss had tasted like blood. A lot of their kisses had tasted like blood." That's so perfect
"But even though she was facing away from them she’d noticed the switch, almost immediately, had said stop, stop, then twisted around and squinted hard up at Pyrrha’s—Gideon’s—face. “There you are,” she’d said. “I was hoping you’d come out.”" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"“If the Ninth hadn’t at least tried something on each other I’ll eat my glasses,” Palamedes had said, some minutes later, when Pyrrha told him Cam’s opinion. “Anyway, they would both be nineteen by now, so she’s at least that old, and you know what Gideon was like.”" OW. Also Pal, honey, you're a bit off there.
"But Camilla is—well, she’s Camilla Hect, and everything about her is perfection. Watching Cam in control is a marvel, always, but watching her lose it is like a new religion. Pyrrha has been close to divinity before, so she knows how that feels, intimately." EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
"Giving a person who’s ready to die for what they believe in a millennia-long life sentence of immortality turns out to be a really bad idea." OOF.
"Wonders how she could have thought, after the beach, that there would be any outcome to sleeping with them other than this." OWWWWW
"Pyrrha pulls on her boots, stomps to the kitchen to grab the mostly-full bottle of scotch and the half-empty pack of cigarettes, charges for the door in a half-blind rage. Camilla, just Camilla now, is huddled on the couch, arms curled around her knees, looking very small." *EPIC SADFACE*
"Pyrrha had once thought of herself like that, but finally after ten thousand years she’s a glass half full without Gideon; anyone she fucks or fucks over she’ll do entirely on her own terms. Camilla is the glass half empty. Camilla Hect is flooring it towards her own destruction, and she’s not taking her hands off the wheel." OWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
