"Hotspur will want to participate, you know," Hornblower murmured into Bush's ear, almost shyly, as if he feared that this would be the step too far.

But Bush laughed, because he knew Hotspur nearly as intimately as her captain. "I would be very surprised if she didn't, sir."

 After two long and demanding weeks, during which Hornblower's favour is nowhere in evidence, Bush at last receives an invitation to his captain's cot.

From the krakenverse sequel:

Even then, her arms shifted restlessly about them both, tasting an ear, a neck, some exposed flesh -- Bush had a great deal of exposed flesh, and she made free of him, laying her suckers along his shoulders only to loose him and grip him again elsewhere. He would have welts the size of saucers in the morning, but Bush hardly minded her taking her pleasure of him.

From Langstroth on Bees:

Ehehehe

1- Amaji has an interesting definition of playing it safe, because AfO killed his brother's lover Second (and possibly his next and last lover Third idk but either way 100% murdered lover rate) but when she manages to catch First alone to explain it, he agrees- it'd be political, but it would hopefully offer protection to Ozoko and freedom to First, as long as he spent some time both in the city and back with his brother.

2- AfO protests, naturally, even citing that he should be married before his little brother, but First points out he had centuries to do that before he was even born and didn't, so he lost his chance.(Shame about Sorahiko, I suppose) Knowing his brother will try to kill Amaji anyway, he also tells him that they plan to magically seal their lives together- if Amaji dies, so does he, and vice versa. The catch here tho, is to do this, they'd need someone somehow related to both of them by blood. (This is related to the spell and method in krakenverse canon that keeps AfO from even lifting a hand to his relatives, but less powerful) As they do not share any relatives, Amaji and First would need to make one... Fortunately for Amaji (on a time crunch because AfO would kill her long before nine months were up) and First (gay), witchcraft exists!

3- which, I guess, makes their marriage technically also a shotgun wedding? Ok sure why not. AfO grits his teeth and says they must really love each other to do that, but he can't not attend the wedding, and when he sees the little tiny Tamaki he decides he really needs to find a way to brainwash Amaji so he can have his brother back... And his little nephew, who's adorable (his hair is lighter here, closer to Nejire's shade) and a potential heir to the throne of Ozoko. Which means he has to play nice, to ensure they are within his home and not the city as much as possible

4- he also just... Acts like Tamaki is named after him. He tries to get his pods to treat him special so he prefers it to the city aquatics, but Tamaki is as shy about the obvious and forced coddling as he is getting sideways looks, so he hates both and he especially hates how his uncle keeps forgetting his name, even if he's the only one who is honest about considering Tamaki weak and ill suited for the city. Instead of drawing this towards the Kraken like AfO hopes, it draws him further into his own room in Ozoko, reluctant to ever leave and worrying First, who can't imagine trapping yourself with so much potential freedom right there.

5- AfO, frustrated that what he considers "playing nice" isn't working, wonders if getting married himself would solve the problem, get First to visit more, perhaps a child would draw Tamaki out. He thinks about suitable options, but there's not really anyone. Inko was pretty, but she got married to someone on land, poor tastes just like her mother. The rest of the pod isn't really attractive either, and if he picks one of his more violent and loyal followers, his brother will never want to visit.

SHIH im ok. ah. ok. man tamaki is going to have no idea what to expect of sorahiko kjhjk

"He hates me." Tamaki said it softly, into the palm of Yoichi's hand. His tiny nephew was curled up even smaller, shaking a little.

krakenverse distraction! you mentioned golden shackles/cuffs being used to imprison akkorokamui i think, and the visual of it being reverse-engineered and used on sorahiko was just uhh /chef’s kiss/
