keep you like an oath (rinch, M, sex work AU) (1/2)

Whatever Nathan might have to say about the subject, there is nothing that Harold's life lacks.

Admittedly, he misses Grace. In hindsight, she was right to break up with him. She deserved better. Still, Harold has everything he needs: his work, Nathan’s friendship, and the love of the dog Nathan foisted on him.

Curse Nathan’s inability to leave well enough alone.

The… paid companion… is foisted on Harold much like the dog. Harold wakes up one day to see a beautiful man kneeling beside his bed.

“Hello,” Harold says, at a loss for words. An assassin would probably have acted already, not to mention worn more clothes.

“My name is John,” the man says. He truly is extraordinary. Harold’s eyes helplessly trace the fluid grace he exudes even in complete stillness. “I’m a gift from a friend.”

At that, Harold sits up and snaps, “Don’t be absurd. Gifts are objects. You’re a human being.”

John’s eyes crinkle, so briefly that Harold almost misses it. “My services, then.”

“I hope you’re good at shelving books,” Harold says.

John rises. Agreeably, he says, “I can do that.” Of course he doesn't bother to put on so much as a stitch of clothing first, so that Harold is subjected to a morning of pointedly looking away from John’s form as he stretches to put books away.

FIC: my hands look like this

[PoI, rinch, rated T. negative body self-image]

John undoes Harold's shirt buttons, grinning as he goes. Beneath him Harold squirms.

"It is possible for me to keep my shirt on," Harold says. John likes how breathless he is already.

"It is," John says. He kisses Harold's neck, enjoying Harold's sigh. "Do you want to?"

"The question in, do you want to?" Harold's voice is carefully neutral.

John undoes another button. "What do you think?" He says, low, a tease and a challenge.

"I think one of us needs to stop answering questions with other questions," Harold says. "And I think you're insane."

this concept has been conceived by

takiki16 and

bemusedlybespectacled, then i squeed about it a bunch with

findundergrounddragoutofwater and, well.

so basically the idea is that in the D/s au there's this division - in the original concept it was only a thing for super rich americans, but

findundergrounddragoutofwater and i expanded it to be a general society thing - where subs are divided to upstairs and downstairs subs.

upstairs subs are pretty. they are decorative and highly mannered and presentable. they are status symbols.

downstairs subs take the heavy punishment and do the heavy labor. they are the ones who get shared with other doms/households. they can serve as whipping boys/girls for upstairs subs.

if going for the wider-society thing, one can postulate subs who are sort of "in between", ones that became more common with the rise of the middle class - stairwell subs, who do white collar jobs.

to get fandom-specific, the original idea contained some nice Leverage headcanons, ( Read more... )
