âoh, my sentimental friend, youâd be surprised just how far a fancy cake might go with some of some of the more prickly individuals here.â he elects to let axel figure out on his own just who those individuals are. chiefly, he can think of one person in particular. but thatâs for them to figure out on their own terms. âthereâs a few pancakes left in the dining hall, if you donât change your mind before you go.âÂ
his arms cross tentatively under axelâs flattery. âgreat,â he says, not particularly dry and not particularly sincere. âi expect no less. my end of the deal isnât going anywhere.â thatâs rich, coming from a spy, but khalid supposes he understands. anyone after those who slither in the dark must have their reasons. âiâd rather you not burn any unnecessary bridges. the less numbers we cut down, the better.â that said, they canât afford every possible loss that every mercy will cost. âbut it is a choice. if youâre caught, and someone runs off to tell the entirety of the empire, use your best judgement. if things are looking grim, i donât need to tell you how to handle it. iâm sure your instincts will do the trick.âÂ
   âiâve noticed.â axel plays it off well â but heâs seen the way one woman, in particular, eyes the desserts in the dining hall. however, unfortunately for him, it was nothing as serendipitous as a random observation. her hair caught his attention; that tell-tale, familiar white that makes his stomach churn. âthatâs my job, ainât it? noticing things.â it wouldnât be good to bring her up with claude. thereâs nothing to gain from that. everything to lose. âand, also, eating pancakes. after this, iâm gonna eat whateverâs left.â Â
   of course, claudeâs approach to mercy is something interesting, as well. itâs not something hinging entirely on compassion; axel can understand the logistics of it. âthatâs true. my instinctsâre pretty great.â he stretches. âmy spy skills, too. i was only asking outta curiosity. if you donât want blood, you wonât get blood.â ...probably. thereâs enough riding on this to entertain axel, he thinks â the presence of a strange urge to prove himself has already settled in his chest. âspy stuffâs okay, but it can be so boring. with assassinations i get to leave a little present for the other guys, yâknow? cause a little ruckus. get âem talking. stealth workâs much less fun. people donât even talk about a good spy âcause youâre not supposed to get noticed as one.â thereâs much less room for creativity. âbut iâll do my best for you, claudie.â a crooked grin. âgotta show you that my biteâs even better than my bark.âÂ
One of the nights, Lea recalls being Axel
@hartsgold sent: âi know i literally continue to gush at you every day but jamie i think you are one of my truly dearest and most wonderful friends i have ever been blessed to meet. sometimes i think it truly is kismet that we met when we did 𼺠additionally, iâd like to tell you that your axel is so fucking chefâs kiss and anyone who reads your writing can surely hear his voice, his thoughts, the clear echo of his motivations and perception of the world. its vivid and sharp and full of fire, like you!!! ilu đĽşâĽď¸.âÂ
bree i swear that you have a sixth sense for whenever i feel a widdle icky because i think u always hit me up with random kindess whenever i need it the most LMAOOO thank you so much :( it truly was kismet huh....... a legendary occurrence.... and i am so happy that youâre enjoying my take on axel LSFKSDLGK IâM TRYING TO DO MY LAD JUSTICE!!! TRYING MY BEST... to provide us with the wonderful content that we deserve!! đĽşâĽď¸ i send love your way as well!!! and hope that you are having a wonderful day. if youâre not iâm gonna slap everything that is causing u ailments so that you WILL!!!!!
   the alliance between those who slither in the dark and the empire - thereâs a lot to say about it. but, more than anything, axel thinks itâs convenient. two of his greatest enemies joined in unholy matrimony... the stuff of dreams. he canât wait to set it all aflame. two birds with one stone.Â
   still, heâs not the type to get swooped away by some fantasy, especially when the fantasyâs way too good to be true. whispers drift back-and-forth behind closed doors. a lot of what slips through the cracks is bullshit. but some of it? some of it isnât. axel knows how to parse through it all - though heâs not exactly sure what heâs looking for. something interesting, he supposes. something useful.Â
   and he thinks he may have found those somethings in this woman. âyâknow, i couldnât help but notice... you donât have the stench of the empire on you,â axel drawls, finally moving from his spot in the shadows. âyouâre not from around here, are ya?âÂ

We fucking love axel of house radanta
Mr. Axel three houses
whenever stuff like this happens im comforted by the outcry against it. like ok someones evil but like. for that one person theres like at least 10 ppl vocally pissed abt it. and thats just the vocal people. a lot of ppl are quietly pissed off too. like idk i think its easy to be like âomg x rp community sucks teehee cant relateâ but... thatâs not rly the case? if everyone was quiet and it blew over - or if it was a hivemind of accepting that behavior, of ppl actively DEFENDING that behavior en masse - THEN thered be a problem. but thereâs not any of that, to my knowledge. just anger and sadness and, in the worst of cases, betrayal. so maybe donât be a dick abt the fe rpc or act âbetterâ than the ppl in it who got hurt by this.Â
hartsgoldâ:
âthey mustâve missed it, somewhere along the discovery of your truly benevolent nature.â khalidâs voice takes on its typical lilt, when heâs not exactly being earnest. âyouâll have to forgive them. thereâs a lot to observe and reconsider, right now.âÂ
so heâd rather do this mission on his own. it only makes sense. he couldnât wait to tell khalid about how much he couldnât stand the man theyâve left dead. âiâm the only person who can offer you half of what iâve offered you in this war. if you settle for less, thatâs your loss.â he speaks with a splitting certainty. âof course iâm giving you a choice. itâs a job, not a fealty mission. youâll always have a choice here.â thereâs also the fact that he would have had the trail tracked, but that goes without saying. âbesides, youâll be lucky to find someone with similarly roguish good looks.âÂ
   âmaybe i should get âem all a bunch of those fancy little cakes. then we can all sit together in a circle and talk about our feelings. thatâll show âem how much my heart bleeds for 'em.â that does it - axelâs little charade finally comes to an end. he snorts, shaking his head. â...all that shit aside, i wanna eat something sweet now.â go figure.
   itâs kinda amazing, how claude talks about himself. is that faith he places in his own abilities genuine, or just a front? axel's been analyzing claude ever since the two first met. heâs yet to see him truly waver. thatâs more than fine with axel. modesty is overrated, especially in the name of something as dull as politeness. âoh, iâd never settle for less, claudie. youâre a one-of-a-kind guy. irreplaceable. iâll never leave your side.â and, more serious: âiâll live up to your expectations as long as you keep up your end of the deal. i donât take well to being betrayed, yâknow?â heâs aware of the irony in that statement - but that doesnât diminish its truth. âthough i did wanna ask...â he tilts his head. â...if anything - or anyone - gets in my way... do i have a choice in taking care of âem?â he adds: âpermanently, of course.â Â
@firestarterâ asked:Â âsorry about the blood in your mouth. i wish it was mine.â
the closest thing to guilt khalid can muster is somewhere far away.Â
perhaps itâs in the wilted flowers, picked away by beasts and thieves on the periphery of this monastery. perhaps it is a thing of the library that still lingers, and its books he has yet to read. perhaps what remains of his guilt is a matter of almostâs and never-were, none to meet the distant matter of his chest, as he has kept it at a healthy distance.Â
he is not guilty between the harsh lines of axelâs arms. he has them just above khalid, propped on each side of his head. it is not quite a cornering or a pinningââ merely a looming. itâs the matter of what next that makes him wonder, as axel so frequently does.Â
the man has been an enigma since he first laid eyes on him. and he remembers the first time he took him in at lengthââand he is rather long, his height otherwise intimidating, that stark red hair a jarring cut against his green eyesââharsh as the kiss of fire on his dagdan weapons. thatâs something they still have to talk about; he hasnât forgotten.Â
but khalid is beginning to understand some bits of him that he likes too well. his efficiency, for one. his sense of humor, another. something immeasurably clever. something lost in its sentimentality. the smell of his breath that comes out like a wisp of smoke, and stings the back of khalidâs throat. the way his hands move across khalidâs chest, as though this is a matter of their very last day together. what theyâve done has made something desperate of him, too. careful as heâs playing his line here, heâs not as much lure as he thinks. heâs past wading in the water, and the sea is beginning to eat at his waistline.Â
he could melt all the way down with axel looking at him as he is now.Â
khalid has been playing so safe that heâs worked himself down to an old habit, though only one. when he was younger, heâd pick at the skin of his lower lip with the blunt ends of his nails. it was just a matter of absent thinking, and not having a place to put his hands. practice with the chang has made all the difference since then, but the last few months of this, the rarely-felt guilt and the often-simmering indulgence, has left him to a device he can only imagine is something heâll need to curb sooner than later.Â
because the low cushion of his mouth is a little raw when axel slants their lips across one another. the flesh is already red there, and it gives easilyââeasy, easyââhe can hear himself think as much. he can hear the warning as it thrums in his chest: as he refuses it. swallows it. hooks his arms around axelâs neck and pulls him into his lap.Â
ah, thatâs right. guilt. he blinks just once, catching the sinking light that filters in from the monastery windows. oh, well. itâs not like the goddess could blame him for much, now could she? these lands arenât his to bring home any blame, and the archbishop is a lost cause.Â
he feels the air a little colder against his lip, then glances up at axel, whoâs paused.Â
âsorry about the blood in your mouth. i wish it was mine.â well pleased as he must be, khalidâs not surprised at his comment. he scrapes the blood off his lip with his tongue, exhaling sharply and electing to pinch axelâs collar in a tight fist.Â
itâs loose enough to seem controlled, but with a hot enough want not to be confused for anything less than exactly what it is: desire. they veil each other in shadow and light.Â
âfar be it from me to deny you a wish when you ask so nicely.âÂ
khalidâs hips wind up closer, until he can even out underneath him. the fire in his ears blares and blares until thoughts of monastery and bad habits fall away.Â
when they kiss next, khalid is the one to draw blood.Â
itâs slighted with salt like metal, but he could swear itâs sweet.Â
@hartsgold sent: âin that case, why don't you kiss me?â
   thereâs a possibility, axel muses, that claude is joking. considering the ways in which they talk to each other â test each other â the possibility is more like an extremely high probability, skirting back around to an undeniable fact. heâs joking. thereâs no way heâs serious. this is the part where you chime back: youâd like that, wouldnât you, claudie? laugh. put on that lecherous grin. wink.
   the problem is that itâs not enough. teasing. playing around. itâs not enough when thereâs that hunger, festering away in axelâs core. burning away his insides; filling up his head with smoke. muddling his senses. and axel wonders, how can the absence of something result in a feeling? isnât it more logical to feel nothing if you have nothing? wanting is not fair. yearning is not fair. claude can have anyone. axel is no one.
   but itâs just a fucking kiss. Â
   axel lunges at claude. the motion is oddly familiar: precise, yet tempered with a distinct fervor â as if heâs moving in to kill. a comfortable reflex. muscle memoryâs trying to make this possible; trying to push axel towards what he wants ( this time, youâll take what you want ). thereâs no time to say anything. no time to joke. no time to laugh or grin or wink. only time to act.
   the kiss is full of teeth.
   sharp teeth. desperation. the taste of metal. a challenge met with another challenge.
   everything has led up to this moment. all of the blood. all of the pain. all of the scars that crisscross axelâs body. a flash of clarity courses through his veins, striking his chest and leaving lightning-fire in its wake. Â
   axel canât tell if it lasts for seconds or minutes. doesnât care, really. they break apart and are somehow back together once more. and thereâs this sense of â singularity. this feeling that nothing else in the world exists. and if anything did exist, it wouldnât matter. nothing else matters.
   youâve done it now, axel.
   claude takes axelâs breath away; leaves him gasping.
   you crossed a line.
   and itâs all shattered, now, hasnât it?
   heâll never forgive you.
   his hands slide past axelâs rib-cage. fingers press against the point that his spine meets his skull.
   and his lips are on axelâs once more.
   itâs maddening, really, what claude does to axel. axel doesnât know how he hasnât snapped, yet. gone completely out of his mind. but that wet-heat in his mouth has him realizing â he already has.
   wouldnât have it any other way.

itâs officially bree @hartsgoldâs birthday today, aka BREEDAY 2020, which means iâm GOING to breepost!!!! and no one can stop me!!!
so. hi, bree! taurus king!
i got into rp on pretty much a whim back in 2017. i knew you already at the time, through our personal accounts â but when you messaged me about writing together i remember being so thrilled about it. back then, i was writing yusuke and you were writing sorey. and despite not sharing a canon or anything, you seemed sooo excited to write with me and that enthusiasm engulfed me entirely (iâm writing axel now so i can totally use a loose fire metaphor, right? right?!?!). we started talking a ton and forming a bunch of verses together, and it was one of the single most creatively refreshing experiences iâve ever had!!! iâve always been super into au stuff and finding a ~kindred spirit who met that enthusiasm⌠it was so incredible and definitely allowed me to evolve as a creator. LIKE WHAT A FORMATIVE RP EXPERIENCE⌠when I see toz content iâm like âwhere is yusuke kitagawa⌠show me my boy⌠he loves sorey so much. do not separate themâ LKDGDSG abt to become like that with axel in fe3h too, i feel it in my bones. both of us have drifted away from and back to rp since those days â but iâm so happy to be able to say that our friendship never drifted off anywhere. it only got stronger and stronger!!! getting to know you as a person has been such a crucially important experience for me. weâve talked like p much every single day since then, give or take, be it for a few minutes or hours and hours, and itâs crazy to think that itâs been, like, 3 years since we met. because it honestly feels like iâve known you forever. i have so much respect for you as a person â for your sharp yet silly sense of humor, your genuine kindness that never veers into being a pushover, your wonderful sincerity and boundless creative energy, and the warmth that practically radiates off you. youâve given me some of the best advice ever and have helped me when i genuinely felt like i had no one to turn to (and i mean that). youâre so special to a lot of people â myself OBVIOUSLY included, iâm in the front waving pompoms and jumping and shit â and i want you to always, always remember that. you deserve good things and i can wholeheartedly say that iâll always have your back. happy 25th birthday, bree â i love you very, very much. Â
hartsgoldâ:
khalid thinks to the fire that burned axelâs partner from before ââ wonders just what element he brings to the table, if axel is fire. the wind, perhaps, that fans or dilutes the flames.Â
âmistrust you? now, i wonder how that could be?â although most people are eyeing axel warily, as heâd suggested they do, some have little trouble including him with lunch meals or laughs. coldness doesnât come easily to people like raphael or hilda. âiâm sure theyâll come around, once youâve been here long enough. we all go way back.â but this is hardly about them. âas for those feelings of yours⌠where are they, regarding our next mission? sneaking through the pass up ahead isnât going to be easy. would you rather i sent you with backup, or are you happier to work alone?â Â
   âi know, right? canât they see iâm a real paragon of virtue?â joking around about it feels wrong in the most satisfying way. axelâs fully aware that he sticks out among the core forces of the alliance â a glaring imperfection within a shining gem. it makes things interesting, he reasons, which is all fine and dandy until someone gets fed up of the flaw and lets it shatter on the floor.
   âeh, i can handle it.â a wave of his hand; a total lack of concern. âiâd rather go in and get out without havinâ to cover two sets of tracks.â other people slow him down. other people are unreliable and twitchy and the last thing he needs is someone stabbing him in the back where claude wonât see. the good guys wouldnât do that, supposedly - but war is war. axel knows better than to trust a smiling face: the wariness goes both ways. that being said... âiâm surprised youâre givinâ me a choice in the matter. thought youâd wanna keep watch over me. arenât you scared that iâll get bought off again by some other strapping young man?âÂ
THIS BOY IS ON FIRE
hartsgoldâ:
âi canât say iâm surprised, but you didnât look very out of your element in there.â heâs been careful about discussing next moves with axel ââ early stages with new recruits means any one of a great terrible things could happen.
sabotage, subterfuge, sacrifice. he was sure to keep this one vague: itâs a test. âindulge me for a sec, would you? howâs the new job treating you?â
@firestarterâ i try to write you a love song but it comes out a lament.
   âthatâs because iâm never out of my element, claudie.â axelâs lying through his teeth but bats his lashes nonetheless. truth is, heâs impressed by how stuff is managed around here. information flows, but not too much information... and moraleâs high. or so it seems.Â
   âitâs treatinâ me fine enough, boss.â war can be subjective, but itâs easy to trivialize this side as the good guys. screams donât permeate the grounds. no one has that glassy look in their eyes. thereâs blood and tears, but laughter, too. an undeniable sense of faith in â something. hell, some people even pray. axel forgot that was even a thing that people do. âthough iâm startinâ to think that some of your lovely companions donât trust me. they kept giving me looks durinâ that meeting.â as if thatâs a shock. the good guys would never trust someone like him. âi hope theyâll stop, soon. itâs startinâ to hurt my delicate little feelings.â
   to say that axel has a complicated relationship with the empire... thatâd be the understatement of the century. the empire destroyed his home. destroyed his family. they handed him to those who slither in the dark on a silver platter and those freaks were content to destroy him. he supposes itâs logical, seeing the latest emperor working with those in the dark. working with axel, by extension... despite all the trouble heâs got brewinâ away in his head. he wants to turn his blade on them all. the war he fights is a personal one.Â
   and yet â this is where it gets complicated. despite her repulsive alliance, edelgardâs goals donât align with everything he hates about the empire. rather, her words seem to... challenge everything. itâd be convenient, tossing a lifetimeâs worth of hate on her. but axel canât. he just canât. and itâs infuriating. how the hell is she working with those monsters? heâd ask, he really would â if he only wasnât wearing the mask of one of those monsters.
   âoi, emperor.â he grins towards her, all teeth. âtook care of that guy. shouldnât be givinâ you problems anymore.â just another mark; at least his jobâs still simple. âwas there anythinâ else you needed? you know the drill â the ever-loyal axelâs at your beck and call.â each word is overly compliant; overly sweet. he makes no effort to hide that.

   âyouâre a huge deal, arenât you?â axel leans against the wall beside him. itâs been a while since he got here - but he knew about byleth even before he deflected. those who slither in the dark couldnât keep her damn name out of their mouths â even more so after she got rid of solon. that, alone, dispelled any doubts that axel mayâve had about allying with her side. the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and the beef he had with that guy was personal. itâs too bad he wasnât there to watch that old freak meet his end. thereâs no way it was painful enough.Â
   at any rate - it really seems like bylethâs popularity knows no limits. sheâs always in high demand. itâs a wonder how axelâs even able to catch her alone like this. he supposes the hour helps. most peopleâre asleep by now. and yet, for all it has taken from him, axel still finds a certain solace in the darkness. âjust seeinâ how they all crowd around you exhausts me. itâs like theyâre all fighting for your attention constantly. all the time.â he canât say heâs jealous. but he is curious. Â
   âwhatâs keepinâ you here? itâs gotta be somethinâ good.âÂ
