Summary
There is a cost to existing as an undead with a mind of his own; Occtis finds that his cost is a hunger for blood, one he tries to ignore until he has no other choice. In the Eternal Night, there are few living things to serve as prey, and the hunger does not subside just because he wants it to.
Enter Julien, who has little patience with Occtis' struggle over his newly monstrous hunger.
AKA the AU where Occtis is trying to do ethical vampirism and Julien is having none of it, because Occtis is starving himself and Julien has SO much blood.

Summary
[SPOILERS TO C4E18.]
“I never really thought about it before, but I think I might like pain,” Occtis tells him. “Maybe I even liked it before, but always got too lost in all the other feelings the world had to offer to notice it. But now it’s the only feeling that I have. So I think I want to… possess it. To hold it in my hand and do with it how I see fit.”
It occurs to his social brain that every word of that confession was more alarming than the last, but it has only served to turn Julien’s expression into something avaricious and gleaming. “My ribs are still quite bruised,” he murmurs. “Be my guest.”
Occtis takes a moment to sort through his thoughts on the matter. He can hear voices from the women’s tent, but they sound faraway and untroubled.
“Your pain tolerance is good,” he decides aloud. “I trust you not to make any sound.”
“Of course I can be quiet,” Julien assures him in a honeyed tone. He assumes a more relaxed pose, resting comfortably on his side. “Go on, then. What are you waiting for? I despise cowardice in all its forms—so don’t disappoint me.”

Summary
"What–?" She sounds as blindsided as he feels. She takes him by the shoulders, turning him to face her. "Occtis, I leave you alone for one day and now I find out you're betrothed to Julien fucking Davinos?"
"I-I—" Occtis stutters, heart pounding in his ears, "didn't know?"
Over Thaisha's shoulder he can see Julien glaring at him like he's personally at fault for this mess, nevermind that he most certainly is not.
Or: The Tachonis temporarily stay their hand and Occtis survives the night at the Palazzo Davinos. Turns out there's more than one way to try to protect an unwanted son.

Occtis huffed a nervous laugh. “No, I… don’t touch many people anymore. Vaelus likes to joke that it would be a dead giveaway.”
“Ha.”
“Yeah… sorry for being weird about it.”
