a snippet from a reader/corbeau fic in which harmony decides to pay off urbain's debt with her body. (corbeau doesn't let her.)
#nautwrites
Corbeau finally squatted down, the smoky miasma of his cologne engulfing you. "And what do you have," Corbeau whispered, "that can equal such a cost?" You pressed your hands into the marble and met his gaze; you expected sadism, and instead found genuine curiosity. His expressions were always so at odds with his harsh inflection, and it unbalanced you as you stammered out, "M-My body." Corbeau looked unimpressed, as if you'd offered nothing more than a café coupon. "And how many times have you used this particular method to get yourself out of unsavory situations?" "I've never—" you swallowed, tried to find that bravery that allowed you to ascend to Rank E in the Z-A Royale. "I've never. With anyone," you clarified. "You would be the first." Corbeau's eyes widened behind his glasses, and he couldn't hide the catch of his breath. Now—now you truly had his entire attention. He leaned back on his heels as he appraised you anew. "You would prostitute yourself?" Corbeau raised an eyebrow. "For him? For AZ? For a city you barely even know?" "Better that than to be in debt to a wannabe mafioso," you couldn't help but snap. Corbeau laughed; the sound was surprisingly soft. "Nothing can quench that fire in you, kid, can it?" He said with surprising fondness. Was this all amusing to him? Were you just another toy to be hung on his wall like so many fine paintings when he was finished with you? Humiliation rose to your cheeks with a sudden flush. He caught your chin in his slender fingers, dragging your head up to meet his searching gaze. "You can't take this back, you know," he warned. "Think carefully. You're much too young to ruin your life. Trust me, I'd know." "That didn't stop you from ruining Urbain's." Venom dripped from your tongue. "He's a big kid. I need to know you're absolutely certain." Corbeau was giving you an out, and you found yourself contemplating taking it. Exactly how much would you have to do? What would he ask you to do? You hadn't let yourself consider it until now as he cupped your chin in his chilly fingers. Your mind filled with pornographic images, each more vulgar than the last, and you are shocked to find only a strange heat filling your core. Was this for Lumiose's sake, or your own? You'd been asked time and time again by your competitors why you'd so recklessly thrown yourself into a bloodthirsty tourney. You'd mumbled some platitudes, but the truth of the matter was, it was for your sake alone that you persevered. For the seductive taste of victory in the back of your throat as another opponent fell to their knees before you. "I know what I'm worth," you finally exhaled. "As long as it doesn't interfere with my duties to the hotel." Corbeau smirked and stood; you felt strangely bereft of his touch. "Yes, that hotel. Strange that I've invested so much into its continued maintenance and never once stepped foot on its threshold. I'll have to pay them a visit—tonight."

#fearnefic
Were he watching closer, he might have seen the grit of teeth behind the curated impassivity on Thancred's face, but the Exarch found himself too preoccupied by the loops and angles of the Archon mark emblazoned on the side of his neck. With a single finger, he tugged the collar out just an ilm, then with another he traced the tattoo. Beneath a growing sheen of sweat, he could feel the texture of it—the marks healed, yes, but the lines were too bold and the skin there too sensitive, so they remained ever so slightly raised. It was subtle, but enough to find and feel if one knew what they were looking for. Even after all this time, he remembered well receiving his own: the ceremony headed by Studium leadership who spoke in the monotone voices of people who had done this often enough to be thoroughly bored by the script; being led to a private chamber after the fact where an apologetic woman brandished an intimidatingly large needle; the way the aetherial ink stung for days, itching down to his bones in a way broken skin would not do alone. They were memories the man before him would share, as were the memories he clung to dearly from walking the snow-dusted streets of Old Sharlayan. He could never say as much, but the thought alone ached to the pit of his stomach. Here stood a piece of home he could not reach for. There would be no reminiscence over tea, though Thancred did not strike him as the wistful type anyway, nor would there be a chance to acknowledge the homesickness seeing those marks injected into his very soul—at least, not in the company of any save himself and the dingy old mirror he'd never bothered to dispose of from his private chambers, despite the stranger who stared back at him with shadowed eyes every time he passed the thing in his haste to return to his work.

It's all "I want WOL to get hurt more" until it happens in a way that's cool and interesting and actually questions/confronts WOL's agency, then it's an affront to the MSQ and "unsafe" for players. See also: the 4.0 scripted Zenos fights, In from the Cold, literally anything to do with Ilberd,
