#cuervolecto

Me and @alystrin03 worked together on this (she edited whilst I'm posting and gave her Vel's info)! Thank you @doctormur for the tags on both our ends ❤️❤️❤️

Template can be found here!

You did not expect of me that I'd leave Alecto's love of her life apart from all the smooches, did you?

A little, simple Cuervolecto for today! My girl is so very lucky of having @adhd-riddled-crow Velasco <3 [And I'm so grateful, too!]

[Also: Blame @doctormur and @paxvoik2 for this ^^]

Rush

The voice sounded muffled from behind the door, but Viago didn’t seem particularly out of sorts. That was something, at least, although he’d been monologuing for at least ten minutes, and Cuervo’s patience was beginning to wear dangerously thin. Whoever the poor soul on the receiving end of such a tirade might be, they were surely questioning the very purpose of their existence out of sheer boredom. 

He’d already waited long enough. Cuervo decided to free whoever it was from the tedium and, whilst he was at it, stop wasting his time waiting. Pretending not to realise what he was doing, he flung the door wide open, causing the two people inside to turn towards him in surprise. 

Viago’s exasperated expression didn’t shock him, but the person he hadn’t expected to run into was Alecto. She must have returned only recently, judging by her tired appearance, but the way she smiled at him made Cuervo forget everything else in the room. 

“As ill-mannered as ever. I don’t know why I’m still surprised,” his brother grumbled, even more annoyed at feeling ignored. 

“Your note said to come to your office as soon as possible,” Cuervo added, with a touch of humour, “so that’s what I’ve done—come in as soon as possible.”

Alecto bit her upper lip, struggling to stifle a giggle, which made Viago’s nostrils flare even wider. Fortunately, a fourth Crow burst into the office. 

"Fifth Talon. Sir," she said, somewhat hesitantly, glancing at those present. It seemed as though she might cower at any moment, faced with her superior’s all-too-obvious anger. "I’m s… I’m sorry to interrupt, but the First requires you in the main hall. She didn’t tell me why."

Viago let out a growl and stood up. “Best not to keep her waiting. You two,” he looked at them, weighing up his options, “wait for me here. I’m not finished with you yet, Sombra.” Alecto sighed without bothering to hide it. “As for you, little brother, I’ve got a job for you. I won’t be long.”

He walked between them, his cloak billowing rather dramatically, and slammed the door shut behind him. Velasco and Alecto waited a second before bursting out laughing.

“If I’d known it was you, Trouble, I’d have gone in sooner.” Cuervo winked at her. “I didn’t know someone could try to kill another person with nothing but words.”

“It seems I’m proving to be an excellent trainee,” she laughed in turn. “Don’t ask me what he was saying to me, because I don’t know. I haven’t been paying him any attention since…” She paused for a second. “Probably since the second sentence.”

He’d missed her, more than he’d first realised. Cuervo was growing fond of her, a feeling that was clearly mutual. Moving a little closer, he spoke to her in a softer, infinitely more seductive tone. “Tsk. Admitting out loud that you’re not paying any attention to our dear Talon. Or perhaps you’re just under his spell.” 

The way she raised her purple eyes told him that the closeness was welcome. Her gaze traced the contours of his arms, his chest, until it settled on Cuervo’s eyes. “A curious reproach from someone who doesn’t hesitate to barge into his office without even knocking.” She pressed the corners of her lips together slightly into a mischievous smile, the very one that drove him mad. “What would your brother think if he walked in right now and saw you flirting so brazenly with his poor victim?”

“All the more reason not to waste another second talking.” Cuervo leaned over Alecto and kissed her, savouring every corner of her mouth from the very first touch. The feel of her tongue against his was delicious, even more so when she pressed her body against his. Damn, he needed more. He demanded more.

Blindly, they leaned against the desk, simply for comfort. The fact that they could be discovered at any moment only added an extra touch of excitement to the moment, and the effort it took them to pull apart and catch their breath was almost inhuman. But, much to their regret, Viago’s voice sounded as though he was approaching – he was furious about something, someone, or both.

“And, as always, my brother manages to ruin any pleasant moment,” murmured Cuervo, planting a quick kiss on her before, much to his regret, letting her go. “Will you wait for me when he finally releases us? It seems we’ve got a lot to catch up on.”

Alecto nodded, with a little giggle, and stepped away from the desk just before Viago came back in, looking considerably more grumpy. The scene seemed innocent at first glance—Alecto and Cuervo chatting amicably—but her cheeks were slightly flushed and, worse still, his brother still had that damned habit of wearing trousers so tight that it was impossible to hide anything. Any hope he had that the rumours were just idle gossip vanished in an instant.

Cuervo then noticed some papers scattered on the floor – which Viago had surely spotted – and which had probably fallen during their earlier little outburst.

“I think I asked you to wait here, not to… add your own personal touch to my office,” said Viago, sourly.

I need to catch up with daily tumblr quests, so I want bring the Sharing Sunday again.

As @theantivancandlehop kindly reminded yesterday, today is WIP Wednesday! [I forgot what week day was.... but I should recall it with the weekly WoW restart]

As the terrible writer I am, I bring you today one small tiny fragment of the pre-veilguard Cuervolecto fic "The only exception", featuring as usual our always loved Velasco "Cuervo" de Riva by @adhd-riddled-crow. I confess I'm a bit stuck with the plot, but also admit this is me being overly distracted!

WIP after the image!

When she opened her eyes again, she had to blink a couple of times. It was practically pitch black, though after a few seconds she realised that through a tiny crack, not only was a little light coming in, but also fresh air and, even better, sounds.  “What the hell?” growled Cuervo, trying to figure out what had just happened. “Tell me you haven’t done what I think you’ve done.” Alecto couldn’t suppress a giggle, despite the unpleasantness of their situation.  “We needed a way out and it was the only idea that came to mind. Be grateful that at least we’re alone.” Velasco's snort told her that he hadn't even considered that possibility. It had been a desperate but effective measure, at least for the moment. It had been years since Alecto had cast a teleportation spell, let alone one involving two bodies at once, but it had worked. The space was suffocating, especially since there were two people in a place designed to fit one—or what was left of it—but at least they wouldn't be discovered there, or so she hoped. The voices reached them rather muffled, all the more so given that the woman’s hysterical sobs were echoing throughout the room. They heard the sound of one of those hatches opening, and then something sliding. The screams and wails grew even more shrill and over-the-top. It was too good an opportunity for Alecto to pass up. “Come on, even I can be more convincing than that, ” she whispered, receiving an offended huff from her companion in reply. She struggled to stifle a giggle: it was hard not to feel optimistic again now they were working together once more, even if it was in such a mess. Silence fell abruptly, as if someone had cast a spell. All that could be heard were slow, calm footsteps, from some feet shod in heels.  “So this has been your last fucking affront,” said the woman who had been screaming her head off just seconds before, her tone now different—icy and full of hatred.
