We got down. We rocked the party. I daresay we even slammed down da funk.

I wrote this down back in 2020, but Caranraw and G'raha's relationship has changed too much since then for this scene to go down like this, if at all. Also it's smutty, so the chances that I will ever post the full thing in public are zero leaning towards negative.

The hot tub is wonderful.
Like most of the non-lethal parts of the Crystal Tower, it’s a grandiose affair of blue crystal and golden metal, far grander and lavish than needed for its expressed purpose. It takes but a moment to get the water to warm itself to a comfortable temperature, and the pumps and fountain to stream as if millennia had not passed since their last activation. You could say many things about the Allagans, but they built things to last the end of the world.
It takes far, far longer to convince myself to take off my clothes. It does not help that Caranraw at my side is shrugging them off almost casually, leaving nothing on but a red and black subligar decorated with a Hingan motif.
“Come on, G’raha!” he grins at me, “I’ve got a back to scrub. You can either take your clothes off or-”
For a moment I fear he intends to rip them off of me himself. Or is it desire?
“-I’m just going to have to throw you in the tub as you are.”
Oh.

His strong hands land on my shoulders, then they start rubbing my tense muscles with gentle strength. I fail to suppress a moan when his thumbs dig into my knots and melt them under the motions.
“Looks like you really needed this,” I can feel the smile in his voice, “That crystal coffin may have kept you alive but it didn’t really do anything for all this tension. Thankfully you have my strong yet supple fingers at your disposal. No salamanderville oil, alas.”
I can’t tell him that the tension doesn’t all come from the suspended animation. So instead I say, “You seem to be enjoying this far too much. Did I actually win this race, or did you lose on purpose just because you like giving backrubs so much?”
“You were faster than I remembered, so it was a close thing. But I do love giving a massage. Now stay still.”
His hands keep working all over my back for several minutes. When he’s through with me, I’m so completely relaxed that he has to prop me up lest I plop into the water like a wet noodle.
He asks me something which I don’t hear, replying with incoherent sounds of approval. If this backrub is as close I’ll ever get to having sex with him, it’s still good enough.
“G’raha,” he says louder, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me close, his chest to my back, “did you hear a word I just said?”
“Hmm? No. I’m sorry,” I try to smirk but I’m not sure my facial muscles are working all properly right now, “your massage has left me completely undone. I can see why your lord fell head over heels for you.”
Shite. Did I say that out loud?
Caranraw does not rebuke me, though. He smiles, instead, and presses his lips to my left ear.
“I have not even started making you undone. If you want me to.”

Caranraw is gay and poly and very into Doman lords. Also: bsky.app/profile/atru...

Caranraw is gay, my version of Hien is bisexual, and Murenogi is also gay and maybe a bit demi. The three of them are in a poly relationship, Caranraw enthusiastically and the other two a bit more tentatively (at least at first).

Mugi, a blue-skinned half-hyur-half-elezen young man is wielding a katana in the Kugane markets. Caranraw, a roegadyn, is to his right and has a hand on Mugi's shoulder, while Hien Rijin at his left is playfully elbowing Mugi in the ribs. All three are smiling.

CAHLN DZOUN! Yes, it was an amazing show. And I got roped into a sketch. And made her say that a plane was delayed five hours because of frogs. Because I can.

Caranraw would make a character that's nice to look at, but also doesn't look too similar to himself or Hien or Mugi, so he'd probably end up going with a grumpy catboy.

Keel beach, Achill Island, Ireland #photography #myart

A surf board with the word "Rescue" painted on it lays upside down on the golden sand. In the distance, a group of young people are sitting together on the rocky part of the beach.

There are five small dunes covered in shrubs, looking like a little sand wave. There is a checkered white and black flag on the second dune. A woman is sitting alone between the second and third dune, looking out to the sea.

A yellow surf board sits on the sand, with sand dunes covered in rock and shrubs at the back. A red sign says "Caution - rip currents" in bold letters.

A woman with a yellow rain jacket, red trunks, and wearing a lifesaver on her back is standing cross-legged with her back to the camera, looking out at sea.

Easter Monday is for going outdoors. (Grotte di Labante, Bologna)

A large rock jutting in two different places and covered in moss. Water pours down the rocks like raindrops and collects in a pool below.

A small grotto with a wooden path that ends at a wooden gate. The grotto is covered in moss and lichens.
