Okay. These are great. But. Why is Gellert wearing his tie UNDER his shirt?
Is this a fashion thing I don’t know about? How am I only just noticing it now when apparently it’s a thing he does in like ALL his pics? Does he not actually understand how to wear muggle clothes?? Gellert what is up
Kink!Fic | Grindelgraves – Public Exhibition/Humiliation, Non-Con Previous Muggle Cop!AU Pieces: [First Part ] | [Second Part]
“I think I’ll take you for a walk today, pet,” Grindelwald said, casual as though it were of no consequence – as though it were not an opportunity for escape. Graves’ eyes jerked up from his numb, closed off stare at the floor, unable to continue his ‘cold shoulder’ tactics in light of that.
Graves forced the hope blooming in his chest down and narrowed his eyes even as Grindelwald stood at the edge of the bed he was chained too and waved his shackles away in a burst of smoke. Graves rubbed at the chaffing that was left behind, skin pink with discomfort in a mockery of shackles that would take days to fade.
“You’re playing with me.”
“Of course I am. You’re my pet. That’s what pets are for: entertainment.”
Exactly! I see Graves as usually being fairly ambivalent about whether Credence gets hurt or not, and just using him how he likes – unlike Gellert, who deliberately sets out to cause pain. But this time, Graves wants it to hurt. He wants Credence to suffer like the pathetic creature he is, wants to bring tenfold in pain the pleasure he stupidly gave, and put things back to rights.
And then pretend he doesn’t feel a twinge of guilt in his chest afterwards.
There’s definitely an element of that too, a brief moment of realizing just how deeply Credence has been scarred by the abuse.
I really love the idea of Graves wanting to do something to Credence’s body that Gellert hasn’t done, and laying his claim that way, as it were. I could also see him being particularly brutal with Credence again in an effort to prove to himself that he still sees him as an object to be used, especially after going out of his way to treat him so “well.”
Poor Credence, caught in the middle of Graves’ own internal struggle :’)
I think Graves’ motivations are a combination of anger at Gellert, starting to see Credence as less deserving of pain just for existing, and being just a little bit moved by Credence offering himself up for all these awful things just to make him feel better – but of course it’s Gellert who does those things, so Graves does the opposite.
I don’t think Graves sees himself as caring for/about Credence, so if he were to reflect on that moment he’d probably bring it back to his anger and frustration with Gellert. But just because Graves won’t admit it, doesn’t mean that’s all there is to it.
And as it happens I’m also really invested in this series, and will take any excuse to talk about it 😀
Thinking about a post-canon dub-con fic in which Venom is annoyed by Eddie’s constant sexual frustration and decides to take care of it himself, despite Eddie’s humiliated protestations. (Un)fortunately for Eddie, there are no secrets between them and Venom has no qualms about digging through his mind and drawing on all his most intimate fantasies, and there’s really nothing Eddie can do but let it happen
Not sure if it’s already been done, but I might give it a try
Oh boy, I’m just thinking about how absolutely terrified Credence would be. Oversensitive, in pain, not knowing what’s happening to his body but knowing it feels wrong and bad and isn’t going to stop and he can’t breathe what’s happening to him –
That’s so wonderfully cruel. I love Graves and Grindelwald tormenting Credence in ways that aren’t necessarily sexual, and food is such a great power play. Poor Credence, so hungry and so hopeful that just this once, maybe he’ll get a real meal…
