sisyphus: unknown (essence and absolution)
[personal profile] sisyphus
Title: Raw
Warnings: Threesomes!
Word Count: 314
Characters: Nia POV. Nigel, Alan.
Notes: ...I am a bad person who likes bad things. You'll probably see a bunch of these stories pop up.
Nia originates from the idea of an artifact/creation that creates a mirror of a person, with their own experiences and memories, and Nigel touched that. She is basically an AU Nigel, and would be a fem!Nigel if not for all of the discrepancies. She is definitely her own person.

Summary: Give me your wants-- I'll take your fears.

sisyphus: unknown (speak words of treason)

Word Count: 2573
Characters: Nigel and another.
Notes: NFWS inspiring artwork is here.
Music is Suicide Mission (Mass Effect 2), Apotheosis (Journey), and I Was Born For This (Journey).
This is the prequel to this thread. A genesis would read that Alan and Nigel married, lived together and investigated the supernatural together, until the age of thirty-one. An incident of shadows much like the one early on in Enlightenment happened again, but when the night ended, Alan was gone. And most of others' memory of him as well. Except for Nigel. For five years, he was the only one to remember. To recall. To continue on.

Summary: Beyond the shadow you settled for, there's a miracle illuminated-- But not yet. Not yet.

Is that how you saw him? )

References: Gentle Homicide and [personal profile] psyches's "what the eyes can't see...".
