    Summary

    Julien. Why should I change my name?”

    Julien sighs again. The hand stills.

    “Well, when I say I have personally rid the world of all Tachonis heirs, I want to be right.”

    “My family disowned me,” Occtis replies. Flatly. His family killed him.

    “You are still a Tachonis,” Julien retorts, just as matter-of-factly.

    This time, Occtis is able to roll over, face to face with Julien. Of all the places he thought he’d end up when Thaisha Lloy had asked for his assistance in Venatus, lying in bed with the notoriously promiscuous Sir Julien Davinos was not one of them. The fact he is here out of choice, and because he wants to be, would have been so far out of believability to be laughable.

    ---
    or, Julien makes a request of Occtis

    Summary

    A last desperate leap of faith, a gamble or perhaps simply a foolish step taken by people with nothing left to lose, in a world running out of time to be saved.

    A wedding. A political and magical alliance.

    A ritual on a windswept cliff beneath an indifferent sky, the exchange of souls and blood, of rings and kisses that seal two fates together – completely, irrevocably.

    or: Julien and Occtis get married following their houses' customs, and Julien likes the Tachonis ones more than he thought he would.

    Summary

    When he blinks, in the space of the moment between himself and the light, he can almost picture a future in which they had been.

    Occtis had a soulmate for one day.

    Summary

    After a less than ill-advised ride through a snowstorm, Occtis needs some warming up that Julien is more than happy to provide.

    Too bad Occtis can't and won't ever reciprocate that kind of affection.

    Or maybe he's just misread the situation entirely?

    Summary

    The obnoxious Tachonis boy kept repeating everything Julien said, and Julien could not fathom why. Regardless, whatever game Occtis was playing was the last irritation he needed on top of a deeply unpleasant day, and the explanation offered was utterly ludicrous. Julien was fluent in both languages used by his house and had no reason to confuse them.

    (When Julien's thoughts are clouded by injury/illness, one language comes more readily to his tongue than the other. Unfortunately, not the one he has in common with his companions.)

    February Ficlet Challenge - Day 4 - Different First Meeting

    For Julien, there are rules of engagement for amorous encounters. If only he'd remembered before indulging in his (other) vices.

    Summary

    "What are you-" Occtis's question was cut off into a startled yelp as Julien bent down and scooped him up. He was right that Occtis basically weighed nothing.

    "You are in no fit state to walk," he said in a voice that he hoped would broker no argument from the boy. He just wanted this errand over with.

    Occtis, thankfully, kept his mouth shut, just closing his eyes and letting himself be carried down the street and up the front steps into the red brick building. Julien briefly considered putting him down once they were inside, but Occtis already looked to be dozing and he had no faith in his ability to not pass out in the hallway and get beaten and robbed or worse.

    Summary

    In order to appear "alive" while in cities and towns and avoid raising suspicion, Occtis crafts a spell of his own making, that would allow to feel all the sensory experiences of a willing target as if they were his own.
    With Vaelus out of the question because of the different sensory experience of elves and humans, Thaisha out of the question because she'd worry and try to stop him, and Lady Aranessa out of the question because her faithful knight wouldn't allow anyone within a 10 feet radius... Sir Julien himself is the only viable option to ask.

    Surely this will not end in a disaster.

    Summary

    "Yeah, well, if she sees you holding me like this you're in just as much danger. She'll get the wrong impression."

    "And what wrong impression is that?"

    That you might not actually hate me? That this might be a case of mutual attraction? That my body will still function so I can have the sort of physical relationship that I'm really fucking wanting right now?

    "Julien," Occtis says with quiet deadpan despite the cacophony in his head and the phantom thundering of his heart, "you have your hand around my neck and I'm completely naked. I'm pretty sure that's going to give anyone the wrong impression."

    Summary

    "This might be one of the very, very few times it would ever be advisable to give your name away to the fae, fox boy," Julien muses idly where they're collapsed around the campfire.

    "Oh, not just to any passing faerie, of course," he hurries to add at Thaisha's smouldering rage. "No, no, that wouldn't do at all. What if you needed it back for something?"
    "No," he continues, "you'd need to be sure to meet up regularly. Perhaps simply travel with them."
    Lady Aranessa buries her head in her hands.

    Now. Occtis Tachonis isn't the best with people, but even he can tell something's off here.
    Julien is... strangely insistent. Almost desperate. He's been twitchy all day, and particularly keen to stray from the paths. He's kept half an eye on Vaelus the entire time, and even now is quietly watching her. Or, more accurately, Occtis supposes, the entirety of her iron armour.

    All textbook signs of one of the more Unseelie faerie having foregone their instincts for just a little too long.

    Summary

    The rumour was that it was the mask. That donning it had cursed the king and it was what led to his calling for a new lover every night that would be dead by morning. It had become a gruesome lottery, every young person’s name thrown in—

    When his daughter's name is called, Hal takes her place.

    But the king isn't looking for a lover, and may not be the king at all.

    Summary

    The last thing Julien ever wished to see as he stumbled drunk into the first guestroom door was the Tachonis boy asleep on the bed, laid out beneath the crisp sheets like the corpse he is.

    A necromancer of the Famed House Tachonis, huh?

    Despite the cold gauntness that clings to the boy, Occtis still looks… harmless. Thaisha had done a fairly good job cleaning him up, but Julien’s eyes catch streaks of blood she missed in his hair. Julien feels a strange sort of impulse to fetch a cloth and wash it out himself, which passes like a wave crashing over the rocks (he has a strange inclination that it will return if he overstays his welcome in this room).

     

    Or: Julien is drunk, grieving, and is (against his will) worried Occtis is cold. Occtis is failing to sleep.

    Summary

    “Is it true what you said?" He asked.

    "I-I haven't said anything,” Occtis stuttered.

    “Is it true you died a virgin?"

    It was a shame to die without feeling the touch of another. Julien did not want Occtis to live like that again. And if he could lend a hand, who was he to complain?
