Prompt Post

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

Whoa... overslept. That would be a combination of joining a BOSU class led by a military fitness trainer who can not only do jumps three times higher than I can, but he can do it SINGING! Yep, he sang the directions ("seven more-comeon-comeon-six more-comeon-comeon"), sang along with the work-out song and was generally WAY too perky for a near-fifty African American DRILL SERGEANT! Serious stereotyping breakage! Then I came home and did the spring pruning of trees and bougainvilleas. I was wiped by the time I hit the sack. So, sorry about the lateness, but this week's prompt is...

Inertia

1. Physics The tendency of a body to resist acceleration; the tendency of a body at rest to remain at rest or of a body in straight line motion to stay in motion in a straight line unless acted on by an outside force.
2. Resistance or disinclination to motion, action, or change: the inertia of an entrenched bureaucracy.
3. 3.Medicine/Medical. lack of activity, esp. as applied to a uterus during childbirth when its contractions have decreased or stopped.

Previously: "...Will?"

In a tiny voice, a thin thread of sound between the two of them and the steamy water, Will begged, "Please--"

Dark eyes dilated and stared deeply into Will's as Reverend Liam rubbed the soap down, laving Will. The Reverend looked dazed, as if he was somehow under a spell. He dropped the soap a second time and it was his big, gentle hand that encircled Will so that Will bent forward, clutching Liam--

"Did I... Are you feeling better?"

incorporates the prompt "inertia" from tamingthemuse
Liam/William NC 17 eventually, maybe
Around the late 1890s, small prairie town
*quotes used for Will's reading lesson are from Ranier Maria Rilke's Letters To A Young Poet, which is more recent than the setting of this story, but I couldn't resist using it since it spoke to the theme.

Word Count: 5,462
A/N: Ongoing story, in chronological order, here.
A/N2: Unbeta’ed this week to give meredevachon a much needed break while she takes care of some family issues. *big hug*

Some comments on this chapter: (Haven’t had to do this in awhile. *g*) This chapter makes mention of ‘the renegade witch.’ This is someone whose presence was keenly felt in Triplex Coniunctio, the first book in the series. Not much is known of her other than she is female, a direct ancestor of Sylvie’s grandfather Ambrus, and left the Dark Coven sometime in the 1700s. She didn’t appear in any of Declan’s writings; so, I thought it better to go ahead and comment on her here. Also, with this chapter, those mystical tattoos should begin to make a lot more sense… especially Sylvie’s. I didn’t plan them that way just for the hell of it! Finally, I cannot believe we’re already up to Chapter Six of Xavier’s part! We’re just about to take a nosedive…

And if I might be so bold as to make a listening suggestion. The Tournament from the Tristan & Isolde soundtrack would make a lovely backdrop to Kincaid's little after dinner adventure. Fortunately, I have few scruples when it comes to sharing amongst friends. You can 'borrow' it here.
