The Myth Of Ambrogio
Ambrogio was a normal Italian man who went to see the Oracle of Delphi. When he saw the Oracle, what she told Ambrogio about the blood and the moon, the young man was confused, so he waited until morning to see her again. When he saw the Oracle and beautiful maidens again, Ambrogio noticed one of the maidens was the Titan goddess Selene, who he fell in love with, but what Ambrogio didn't know was that sun god Apollo was also in love with Selene.
When Apollo found out, he didn't want Selene to fall in love with the human, so he placed a curse on him so he could never walk around in the daylight. Ambrogio still loved Selene and knew that because she was a goddess and he was mortal she would live and would die so he went to the underworld seeking to meet with Hades. He made a deal for Hades to keep his soul while his body still lives on earth.
Hades accepted Ambrogio's deal; if could steal Artemis' silver bow and arrows he would make him immortal. Ambrogio agreed he went to Artemis asking to join her group of hunters; she trusted him and let the man join her followers. Ambrogio tried to take the bow and arrows but Artemis caught him and was angry that he lied to her so she placed a curse on him, making the silver bow and arrows give Ambrogio a burning allergic reaction. Fearing the hunting goddess's wrath Ambrogio apologized and asked to be forgiven. She would only forgive him if he proved his loyalty to her.
Ambrogio promised to prove his trust to her but like all her followers he had to never fall in love or get married like all of her hunters. This meant Ambrogio could never be with Selene ever but he agreed. Artemis decided to turn him into a hunter almost as great as herself. As the goddess of nature she gave him many enhanced abilities almost as great as her abilities. His senses, strength and speed to match many of the abilities that animals have. He was even given fangs and long claws like many animals. Artemis even gave him the power to heal making him better than all of her other hunters. But with all his new powers Ambrogio still looked human. Artemis gave him the power to change just like the gods themselves; the hunting goddess could change into a deer; she gave him the power to transform into a bat making him more like an animal.
Even though Ambrogio was told to never fall in love he still had feelings for Selene. Ambrogio became one of Artemis greatest hunters and because he proved his loyalty to her she gave him her silver bow and arrows allowing Ambrogio to take them to Hades. When Ambrogio returned to the underworld Hades kept his promise and he took Ambrogio's soul, now that he was immortal Ambrogio could finally be with Selene. However he learned a terrible thing when he saw her again he learned that Apollo punished and cursed Selene as well, she was now mortal and was dying.
Ambrogio brought her to Artemis, the nature goddess, who decided to help even though Ambrogio wasn't supposed to be in love. Artemis told him in order to save Selene he had to make her just like him. After becoming a vampire and shedding her mortal form Artemis, then took her to the moon and restored Selene's divinity. But with Ambrogio on earth and Selene on the moon, the two couldn't be together. Because he made a promise to Artemis, Ambrogio never married, he never loved anyone else but Selene. Though he created many more vampires just like himself and Selene.
After biting many people and changing them, Ambrogio and Selene called them their children. Ambrogio uses the venomous saliva that Artemis gave him to save Selene and to turn others into vampires while Selene shines the moonlight down upon their children to watch over them. Ambrogio and Selene's children gained all of the powers of their parents; enhanced strength, senses, speed, the ability to heal, vampiric poisonous saliva, turning into a bat and to have no souls. Another ability that the vampires gained was a virus in their blood that has no effect on vampires but any human that drinks their blood becomes just like them. The other vampires not only gain Ambrogio and Selene's abilities, but also their side effects such as their weakness to sunlight and silver. Because Ambrogio is a walking soulless corpse, most vampires don't have a soul and with Selene being a spirit separated from her dead mortal body other vampires gained the ability to turn what remains of their souls into a form of mist.
Because Selene and Ambrogio could never be together, the titan moon goddess fell in love with other beings. Though she has had other lovers from Endymion to Zeus and a few others, Selene still looks after Ambrogio and all of the vampires.

Selenophile (M) | IkeVamp Comte
Fandom: Ikemen Vampire
Pairing: Comte de Saint-Germain/Fem!Reader
Rating: Explicit/18+/NSFW
Word Count: 5k
Summary: You’re just a girl who fell in love with the moon, and got lucky enough to have him love you back.
a/n: Always thought Leonardo would be my first, and then Faa happened (~˘▾˘)~ All those Daddy Comte conversations sent a hoe tumbling into love. Also told myself this was going to be short and sweet, and in doing so, played myself. Sorry about that.
Also, for Thirst Purposes, we’re going to believe that Comte can bite her without turning her.
Warnings/Tags: explicit sexual content, vaginal and oral sex, mentions of blood due to vampire bite, this is my love letter to Daddy Comte, pretend im v romantic, also another episode where I had fun with online translators French speakers please don’t kill me
Selenophile (n.) a person who loves the moon.
“Here’s the next stack, and please, try to finish them before dinner?”
Collecting the last of the stray envelopes on the desk, you jog them and place the stack in one corner. Narrowed, aurum eyes watch you over the top of a letter. “These aren’t quite as urgent, so you can have a look at them later.”
“Mm,” the Count sighs into his cup for the fifth time, no doubt waiting for you to turn around to see what’s got him so down. Your eyes drift to the ostentatious bouquet of roses in the corner of the room, a soft, blush pink this time, before you squint at the seal on the last envelope. Placing it on top of the pile in front of him, you smile down at his pursed lips and pleading eyes.
You know the gentlemanly persona is just one of the many facets of the Count’s personality, and it seems to be the one he chooses to adopt when amongst company. Your relationship thus far has been nothing short of an adventure, complete with adversaries and sacrifices, and a man that can take your breath away with just one little smile.
He loves, and lives to spoil you. He delights in drawing you into his arms and kissing you as he stealthily clasps delicate necklaces around your neck and slips bracelets set with sparkling gems onto your wrists. It still makes you uncomfortable at times, but the way his eyes shine when he admires the way they rest against your skin, a pleased smile tugging at the corners of his lips–it kills any real motivation to protest.
And when he undresses you, with a soft-spoken request to keep the jewellery on, you’re hard-pressed to find any real reason to object. It’s all part of his favourite evening game; with you completely bare, wearing just the priceless trinkets he’s picked out for you. His seat of preference is the armchair he pulls up to the front of the bed, from where he calls out his requests for you. You can say no, you’re expected to tell him if anything makes you uncomfortable, but when he tells you to spread your legs a little more, to finger yourself a skosh slower, nearly panting as the smell of your arousal–all you feel is hot, dizzying lust.
To see the wild lust lurking beneath that noble veneer, to open your eyes, trembling through the aftershocks of an orgasm, and see the sheer hunger in his face as he strokes his cock. The way his fangs sink into you speaks of rapidly fraying control, sending agonizing ecstasy pumping through you as he makes you come again.
You enjoy teasing him. It’s a dangerous game to play in front of the ever-observant residents, especially a certain author who would love nothing more than to see you seduce their sire. You had nearly gotten caught just once, when he had had enough of your games.
A brush of your fingers, over his shoulder. A stroke of your thumb over his knuckles, and if you were feeling bold, weaving your fingers through his hair. A lingering kiss on the corner of his mouth and feel the air between you grow heavy. Just a quick pet at the nape of his neck and pulling away before he could lean into your touch.
He always catches on almost right away, and gives you serene smile in response, a gentle warning. Only once had his patience spun out of his control and he pinned you to a bookshelf in the library, slipping a hand under your dress as he crushed his mouth to yours, hissing when he discovered the lack of a barrier between your legs.
You were sure he would have taken you right there if not for the sudden, loud whistling of a jaunty tune–a hint that you weren’t alone in the library. Still, he had considered it for a moment. You could tell by the look on his face–all he had to do was make sure you stayed quiet.
But then Leonardo started singing, completely off-key and almost insistently, as if warning him off. It was the confused whispers from Isaac, no doubt wondering if Leonardo had lost his mind, that finally had your beau stepping away.
Even now, as you pour him his afternoon tea, you can feel his eyes doing a full sweep of your figure, longing and wondering. He’d been away on business for the past two weeks and you’ve missed him terribly. He had only gotten back yesterday, and you’ve somehow had your hands full with errands and tasks for the residents and no time to spend in his arms.
Although, if you must be perfectly honest, you have had a little fun leaving him with affectionate kisses and tender whispers before you rush off to attend to the next task.
“How is your day going, ma chérie?” he asks, accepting the cup with a soft smile.
“Well enough, I’d say. Sebas is going to teach me how to make coq au vin, so please look forward to that!” you inform him, stars in your eyes. You pretend not to notice the way his smile grows just a tad strained, no doubt at the realization that you’ll have your plate full today as well.
“I can’t wait to try it.” His sincerity is genuine, though, and you have to restrain yourself from climbing into his lap, striding over to the door instead. “Darling?”
You turn back to see him hesitating, searching your face for something before sinking back into his armchair.
“Have a wonderful day.”
There’s hunger in his eyes and your heart pounds within its cage.
“You too. I love you,” you add, unable to help it, and you’re glad you did because of the tiny smile curling along his mouth as he echoes the words back at you.
This waiting game can’t go on much longer. He hasn’t lost his composure the way you had secretly hoped to see, but it seems that his patience is running out.
You rarely find chances to spend together during the day, and today is no different. Dinner takes up much of your time, and after you find yourself swept up in conversation with Napoleon and Isaac, cleaning up takes more time than you had hoped.
As Sebastian shares what he had discovered about Napoleon’s sparring preferences, while you dissolve into helpless giggles at his enthusiastic reenactment as you scrub the dishes, the Count stops by for more tea.
“Ah, still here? It’s quite late, you must be tired.” He watches over the rim of his teacup as you study at a plate, before wiping at a barely-visible smudge.
“We’re nearly done, Sir. Not to worry though, it’s always fun when we work together,” your companion assures him, and you shoot him a quick grin.
“That’s right. And we do make a great time, don’t we?” You raise your hand, and with a half-hearted roll of his eyes, Sebastian smacks his palm against yours.
“I suppose we do.”
You turn to Comte just in time to catch his small smile, and your own fades slightly as he turns to leave with a low, murmured goodnight.
Even as you hurry through your bath, rushing to your room to change and don a thin robe, the hint of melancholy in his smile stays with you and apprehension courses through your veins.
It wasn’t quite jealousy. It’s tempting to play that game, but usually, you avoiding it. He’s a gentle, benevolent man, but the Count does not wear jealousy well. Thankfully, the only resident you run into on your way to his room is Vincent, who asks no questions, only wishing you a pleasant night with a knowing smile.
His chambers are empty and you find him standing in the balcony instead, the summer evening pleasant and soothing on your skin as you step out. His head is tilted back, and you realize he seems to be studying the night sky. With the soft, shimmering moonlight eager to paint him in its subtle tones, there’s an ethereal glow beneath his skin.
He shines brighter in the sunlight, but in this moment he truly looks like one untouched by the grasping hands of death in any of its forms, blessed by Selene herself or perhaps, she chose another form, one that is surely far more beautiful than any other. You wonder if that makes you Endymion, the spellbound mortal to his smitten immortal, desperate to do whatever it takes so you never leave his side, destined to be together forever–but only in your dreams.
“Come join me, ma chérie.” He sounds almost distracted, and curiosity bubbles up as you step up next to him.
He’s more underdressed than you’ve ever seen him outside his room; clad only in his white shirt and slim pants. He always appears to be svelte, but with the soft fabric stretching taut over his shoulders, clinging to his narrow waist, you can only try to keep your eyes off his backside. An unbuttoned collar reveals a slender neck, his tie hanging loosely over his chest, his sleeves rolled up to his toned forearms, a glass of half-finished blanc in one hand.
He doesn’t look away from the sky, staring at the stars as if they hold the answer to all his questions. You choose to look at the moon while it observes the stars, studying him quietly, wanting to get closer before thinking better of it and coming to a halt, waiting for him to gather his thoughts.
Always out of reach, but always returning to you.
Or perhaps you’re the moonflower instead. Yearning for the light, for it to find you. With its quiet, yet all-consuming love; too bright for you at times, but even if you close your eyes you know its there, its soft light embracing you, giving itself over to you and sinking into your bones, its love unchanging. You thrive in his arms, blooming to life at his touch, the marks left on your skin always fading but you’re content to keep the one left on your heart, a quiet claiming.
He sighs and rakes a hand through his hair, caramel bangs falling haphazardly over his forehead, before turning to you with a rueful smile that breaks you out of your musing. He finishes his drink with one last sip and sets the glass down to the side, on top of the balustrade.
“Forgive me, darling. I’m feeling a little out of sorts tonight.”
The muted atmosphere falls away as he turns his back on the sky to look at you, and you wonder if the stars think him foolish for it.
“Anything I can help with?” You take his hand in yours, clasping it between your palms and watch as a hint of mischief upturns his lips. And you realize it doesn’t matter if all the planets in the sky call you fools, as long as he never stops smiling at you.
“Perhaps. All day, I feel as if my most precious, mon trésor, has been a tad elusive.” He reaches out to tuck an errant lock of your ear behind your ear, his finger trailing down the length of your jaw as you tilt your head, adopting a thoughtful look.
“That doesn’t sound good.”
“Not at all,” he agrees, assuming a downcast expression, although his eyes still glint with purpose. “Every time I reach for her, she slips right through my fingers, leaving with me nothing but the memory of her warmth.”
“Oh, but that’s dreadful,” you gasp, holding his hand up to your chest. “What fool would try to elude you?”
He smiles a little, leaning in conspiratorially, his mouth ghosting the shell of your ear. You can barely keep from smiling as your stomach clenches in your anticipation.
“One who takes joy in teasing her poor, desperate lover,” he breathes, winding an arm around your waist as you try to slip away, your palms braced against his firm chest. “All day, she smiles at me, and with every smile I’m left wanting nothing more than to kneel before her and take everything she chooses to give me.”
His next breath leaves him on a shudder as you turn your head, your lips skimming the length of his jaw.
“With a man like you, is there really ever a choice? You make a woman want to give you everything she has.”
His smile is truer as he kisses the tip of your nose, while the hand on your hip inches lower. His eyes are bright, almost glowing and you’re struck mute as you watch his long lashes flutter. “As I should. After all, when a woman holds the power to take her lovesick fool apart with a smile, the fool can only try to aim for the same.”
“If this fool tries anymore, there won’t be anything left to take.”
“And, perhaps, then I’ll stop fearing her distance.” His lips trace the length of your neck, his nose pressing to your skin as he inhales deeply. “And the fear of her being ripped from my arms will fade.”
You press your lips to his temples, love and sadness tight leashes around your heart. “Then I suppose I’ll keep giving you everything I have.”
His palm slides further down to cup the swell of your rear. “Your love?”
You kiss his cheek. “You have it.”
His licks at the pulse point on your neck, and you tremble in his grasp. “Your body?”
“Yours.” A gasp leaves you when he sucks at the skin harshly, satisfied at the mark blooming to life. There’s a scrape of something sharp against soft flesh, and your knees grow weaker when you realize it’s the sharp-edged tip of a fang.
“Your happiness?” He tugs at the sash holding your robe together, loosening it to reveal your underthings. Brimming with his desire, his eyes are molten gold as they bore into yours.
“With you.” He kisses you, gentle and deep. Your hands meet at the nape of his neck, tugging him down so you can slip your tongue into his mouth. A low noise of protest escapes you as he pulls away to kiss his way up to your ear.
“And yet, you’ve been denying us both the pleasure of each other’s company.” He nips at the lobe of your ear, squeezing your ass gently, his tone dipping into something sly as he continues. “Then I see you laughing without a care with Sebastian. I...I cannot help but wonder if I’ve robbed you of the happiness you deserve.”
You can’t help the quick roll of your eyes. “Any happiness I deserve is the kind I want.” Your fist the hair at the back of his head, tugging it back to look him in the eyes. They waver in the face of your fierce affection, his lips parted as you tug harder, but you don’t back down. “And I want you.”
He sighs, but his chest quivers beneath your touch.
“Such ferocity. And no power in the world could make me give that up.” He isn’t teasing anymore, but he slips a thigh between your legs, using his grip on your ass to pull you forward. Your fingers dig into his shirt as you try not to gasp. “Ah, I’m afraid you are stuck with me.”
You run a hand through his hair as he ducks his head to pepper kisses all over your neck, and down to your collarbone.
His tongue draws slow, maddening circles over your skin. “So earlier in the kitchen...that wasn’t an attempt to drive me to jealousy?”
“I barely have to attempt, but no, it wasn’t.” You hide a sly smile in his hair. “Why, were you actually jealous?”
“I’ll admit I do find myself rather put out when I can’t have you all to myself. And knowing how deeply you’re coveted…” He pauses. “So you were playing games.” He lifts a breast from the soft fabric of your bustier, tucking the cloth underneath as he squeezes it gently. Even as your body begins to throb under his ministrations, you throw a nervous look over his shoulder to ensure nobody’s in the gardens. “And the roses you received in my absence?”
You roll your eyes, half-hearted this time, even as your heart attempts to inch its way to your throat. “A gift for you, no doubt, from your oldest friend.”
He chuckles, soft and dark, and it goes straight to your pussy “A gift for me they were not. Perhaps an attempt to entice my lady love while I was away?”
“A failed one, then. My heart is perfectly content where it is,” you retort, a pleased smile breaking across his expression before he clears his throat and looks at you seriously.
“Even so. The very thought of somebody else’s hands on you–a touch uninvited by us, that is–I will not stand for it.”
“What do you suggest we do, then?” A soft palm slips down his abdomen, and he smirks down at you.
“I have a few suggestions. Each more depraved than the previous, and none you will approve of.”
His mouth closes over a nipple, sucking harshly, and this time you do moan.
“So-somebody might hear us!” Even so, you push his thigh back to push your hips into his, your lips parting at the press of his clothed arousal between your legs.
“Good. I feel that they can all do with a reminder of who you chose. Including me.” He bites down and you’re helpless to your combined lust in the way you grind against his erection. “This should be a fact they can never forget.“
In a quick movement, he’s shifted your positions, leaving you half-sitting on the balustrade. And then he’s sinking down to his knees, urgently planting hot kisses on the inside of your thighs as he spreads them. You can’t tear your eyes away from the entrance to the balcony, afraid that someone will walk in.
A soft click catches your attention and, incredulous, you look down to see him looking all too pleased with himself, holding your foot up to admire a delicate anklet studded with–
“Those better not be real,” you warn, and he simply smiles at you, pressing his lips to your ankle as his other hand slides up your leg. His tongue traces the skin surrounding the jewelled band, and all the fight leaves you, not that there was much of it in the first place.
He looks happy, after all.
He pets your clothed sex, moving on too smoothly for your liking. “Sometimes, I wonder. What would they think, if they smell you on my breath?”
He pulls the barrier of your panties aside; you can barely suck in a breath before you feel his tongue, hot and deliberate as it sweeps along your glistening slit.
“My, my. You’re nearly drenched. Does making me suffer bring you this much pleasure?” he teases, smiling up at you before closing his lips around your swelling clit. Your teeth sink into your lip as you hold your voice back, but he presses his teeth to the flesh, almost biting lightly and a loud cry forces its way out. Your hands are wrapped around the surface of the railing, knuckles white with strain, and with each second he spends sucking at your bundle of nerves your moans get frustratingly louder. “Good girl, let me hear you.”
You freeze when voices from the garden reach your straining ears. His tongue pushes past your entrance.
He won’t stop.
You can feel it building in you, the slow, familiar sweep of pleasure ready to greet you, and you know you don’t really want the others to hear you scream as you come. Your thoughts begin to cloud over, and you have to act.
“Please?” you whimper, threading your fingers through his hair. He freezes in place. “Not here.”
He peeks up at you, groaning when he catches sight of your face, lower lip jutting out and eyes pleading with him. “Princess, how am I supposed to punish you when you make that face?”
“I’m sorry,” you say as sincerely as possible, your smile clear in your voice.
“I shouldn’t be lenient,” he mutters, kissing the skin where your thigh meets your hip. “And it’s so lovely out here.”
You reach down to cup his cheek, unwavering in the face of his pouting. It’s the Van Gogh brothers down in the gardens, and you’re sure one of them will end you if you subject his brother to the sight of the Count taking you in the balcony. “Do you really want someone to see us?”
He hums, kissing your palm. “Maybe.”
You fight to keep the grin off your face as you school your face into something thoughtful and shy. “I could...I could show you how I’ve been touching myself while you’ve been away. I’ve missed you so much, I...did it almost every day.”
He stares at you.
“You, mon coeur, are bad, bad woman.” Desire flashes, burning bright, in his eyes. “Fine, if that’s what you wish.”
You can only laugh as, before you can feign innocence, he sweeps you into his arms, tugging your robe closed as he practically sprints through the doors. His growls at the way you lick down his neck are warnings, the flash of his fangs at you arousing you more than you would have once thought possible.
“I couldn’t sleep last night, wondering if I should just give in and sneak into your room. Wake you up with a sweet kiss or with your cock in my mouth,” you whisper in his ear, sucking at his earlobe. “You always like that.”
“___,” he warns, even as his grip tightens. “I’m not joking, my love. Say another word and you’ll live to regret it.”
You nod solemnly. He looks satisfied as you grow closer to his chambers. Just as the doors are in sight, you catch his attention with a quick oh!
“I used the hairbrush you gave me once. Just a little bit–”
He kicks the doors open and tosses you on the bed, striding back to slam them shut. There’s that dark, unforgiving sort of lust in his eyes and it’s exactly what you’ve been craving. You slip your robe off your shoulders as his thumbs hook into the waistband of your panties, leaning over you to get them off as you pull the bustier over your head.
“On your back. Spread your legs, you know what to do. I want you ready for me.” He brushes your hair away from your forehead. “And darling–you will not come.”
Your fingers pause in their light stroking.
“Comte?”
“I know you heard me. Your first for the night will be with me. Allow me this, please.” He runs a warm palm up the length of your leg, and to your slight surprise, he takes a seat next to you instead. “Go on, show me.”
You’re inexplicably nervous at first, with him looming over you, but with the way his hands glide over every inch of your skin, tender yet possessive, and his mouth sampling wherever it pleases–it doesn’t take long before your hips are jerking up into your hand. His fingers caress your soft breasts, tugging at the pebbled peaks, sucking until they appear nearly swollen.
You peek up at him, catching the slight bob of his throat as he looks at the fingers sinking into your heat. You don’t think twice before slipping them out and holding them up to his mouth, and he takes them into his mouth with a soft groan and you take this wonderful opportunity to peek at the tent at the front of his pants.
“I didn’t tell you to stop,” he says, but doesn’t stop licking until your skin is free of your slick.
“You just looked so hungry, I couldn’t help it.” He doesn’t argue and doesn’t fight you when you pull him down next to you. He just watches you, fervent and patient, breath growing heavier as you unbutton his shirt before shifting your attention to his pants, tugging them down his toned thighs, smiling at the wet spot in his silk underpants before you help him pull them off.
His hips jerk up when your tongue circles his nipples, his hands digging into the sheets as you lick a warm path across his collarbone, a choked groan leaving him when your hand sneaks past his neglected cock to cup his balls. But as you’d suspected, his patience is nowhere to be found tonight as he groans and yanks you up into a torrid kiss.
“I thought you were going to punish me,” you manage to ask in between his heated kisses, hot jolts of arousal sparking through you at his weak moans as you stroke his cock, spreading his slick along the length.
“Later,” he mumbles, dragging his tongue along your jaw, his abdomen taut as he twists under your touch. “Later. I need you.”
He sits up, his tongue still licking into your mouth, and his hands are everywhere. On the nape of your neck, down your spine, digging into your waist, squeezing your ass. Urgent, needy sounds escape his mouth and send your blood pumping through you.
It’s one of those nights.
You hold him close, even as he moans at the slow rut of your hips against his, your dripping entrance sliding over his length and back, and his fingers dig into your skin as he looks at you through half-lidded eyes, lips never too far from yours.
There are times when he loves a slow, unhurried seduction, to woo you and take his time pampering you. And there are times when he all he needs is to lose himself in your heat, needs you to peel back his carefully crafted layers and dig into the man underneath, to pull him out and hold him to your chest. This man who loses his composure, who throws his head back on a near-silent moan as you sink onto his length, who clings to you as you begin a quick, harsh tempo.
“I’ve got you,” you whisper, your voice breaking, spine arching when he slips in deeper. “I’ve got you.”
He holds on to your hips when you falter, stopping you from rising up and keeping his cock deep in you. “Ma moité. If I could, I would stay here forever. I would keep you in my bed, bury myself in you and never move again.”
“Fu-,” you gasp as he grinds deeper, as if trying to gain access to your very soul, to get his hands on what makes you you and hoard it for himself. He thrusts up, his grip on your hips helping you move against him, forcing you harder onto his cock.
“Mm. Je t'aime et je t'aimerai pour toujours.” You shudder as his honeyed tone roughens into a rumble. He kisses you, hard and fast, and your mind can’t muster up a coherent thought as he bounces you in his lap.
Comte stops to rise to his knees and press you into the bed, hooking your legs around his waist. He continues to push deeper, with his cock and his body, until your legs are bent, thighs nearly touching your sides.
“Hold on tight, darling.”
You’re going to need tomorrow off, you realize in a distant part of your mind as he rears back to slam his hips into yours. Your head crashes back into the plush mattress, muscles straining as you try to meet his thrusts. The refined persona sheds completely and his fangs slip out, and your breath catches in your throat, your cunt clenching tight in the face of the other side of him. His hair is in complete disarray, falling wildly around him, his eyes are all greed and lust, but his hands are gentle as they slip into yours and pin them above your head.
“You’re so beautiful. So bright,” he murmurs, pressing rough kisses over your breasts, groaning at the taste of your skin. And you can only laugh, at this moon turned man kissing his devotion onto your skin when you’re burning inside out with desire and elation, when you’ve managed to draw the moon down into your arms and hold him in your arms.
“I love you,” you sob, trembling with the force of his thrusts and the ardour in his gaze. The anklet jiggles where it hangs over your ankle. You drop your head back, baring your throat to him and you can feel him struggle with his overwhelming need as he whines low in his throat and leans in.
“And I love you.”
His fangs graze your skin ever so lightly even as he pounds into you, and with one last thought of how there probably hadn’t been any point in retreating to the bedroom, you scream as his fangs break through the barrier of your skin. One of his hands slips between your legs, pressing insistently.
“My name, ma chérie. Say my name.”
It leaves you on a broken moan as you come hard around him, your walls squeezing him frantically, and his hips stutter as he continues to suck greedily, his sinful moans muffled by your skin. You can’t stop trembling as he pumps himself into you, mind-numbing pleasure stealing your mind away. His mouth leaves your skin just as he loses control, a warmth filling your trembling sex as you watch him swallow dazedly.
His pupils are blown almost completely wide as his licks around the edges of his lips, hips slowing to a stop as you both look at each other, chests heaving, skin slick with sweat. His blinks rapidly at the taste of your blood, looking half-intoxicated, eyes raking over your flushed skin and wild hair.
“...are you alright?” he asks gently, and you can’t quite speak just yet, nodding mutely in response. He licks the puncture wound clean, wrapping his arms around you and lifting you up, shuffling around the bed until he relaxes back into the pillows with you clinging to him, his softening length still buried in you. “Could we stay like this for a while?”
“Mm. Yes, please,” you finally mumble, and he holds you tighter, smoothing his hand up and down your back. “Feels nice.”
He laughs softly, and you muster up all your strength to shift up and kiss him straight on the mouth, the taste of copper strong on your tongue. You brush past it insistently, tangling your tongue with his as you swallow his soft noises. He keeps you there, breath mingling, smiling fondly as you fight to keep your eyes open, your skin pleasantly warm against his.
His skin is bright with the afterglow, every line of his face relaxed, and you marvel at how unguarded he looks right now. Even now, moonlight falls in through the windows, trying to reach him, but he’s content to kiss the tip of your nose with a soft mwah, repeating it despite your complaints about sweat. You return it, stretching up to reach his nose, and it turns into a swift exchange of kisses until you’re both smiling like complete fools.
“...Did you really use the hairbrush?” He sighs softly, tucking your head under his chin. “I would love to see that, but I can always get you better toys.”
Your responding snort is more amused than disgruntled. “Would that include ones I can use on you?”
He’s quiet for a moment, before pressing his slow smile into your hair, the rise and fall of his chest steady under your cheek.
“Mm. Anything you want.”
Translations:
ma chérie: my darling
mon trésor: my treasure
Mon moité: my (other/better) half
Je t'aime et je t'aimerai pour toujours: I love you and I will always love you/I will love you forever
ending note bc I can’t shut up: the moon was so gorgeous last night, I actually stepped out to get a better look. It seemed to have an almost golden tint to it, which made me think ‘Ah, yes. Comte.’ And then I rushed back in. Yes I’m that b*tch. Romance, baby. its 6 am i havent slept

endymion. the binary shard-skinned boy, both a beauty and a wreckage. both silver and onyx. he caught my eye very early on when his biography was posted, because despite what a romantic character he is, what fealty, what fierce devotion streamed through his veins to propel him into his guardianship, into his hopeless love, his hopeless sense of time and light, i could just feel that there was more depth to his story than what was lurking on the surface of him, something darker, something heavier. it’s almost as though he himself shows only a veil to the universe and even to those he loves directly, but it doesn’t truly reflect what’s beneath, it doesn’t scathe the immenseness of his feelings, the complexity with which i’m certain he must hold the reality around him, to be so, so abandoned and then be so, so committed. in terms of the zodiac, i wonder if i’ve ever seen a more gemini-esque character.
headcanons:
i. IN THE BEGINNING. this is onyx.
“a dead planet gutted cleanly into two halves.”
in many ways, endymion is the very planet which hangs hollow and muted in his history; carries the same scars across the leather of his skin, harbors the same wounds against the bloody veins of his canyons, floating and confused in the midnight hue, pieces of him struck dead by random circumstances beyond even the heart of heaven’s control. the tectonic plates of his diaphragm muscles and shoulder blades seize and crumble around him, shudder apart in horror at self-realization, in disgust at useless unintelligence, at the confounding dilemma that is himself.
cosmos has left him, cracked from the core, split down the middle in this, her devastating desertion, her gaze turning dull and distant from him and all his kind, and if, in her apostasy, she finds nothing more about him to warrant an ounce of salvation, why would he? she turns away from his planet to leave them all in the vacant beating of their black-hole chests, invert their souls to do the opposite of shine, the opposite of burn, the opposite of feel, and endymion can only watch as his marrow drains from his bones, watch as the kaleidoscope of essence drifts away like pieces of his own world, his own atmosphere. a black planet shifting without light, the scorched surface of his empty hands reflecting nothing more, no wishes, no hopes, no directions; he is a monochrome of ebony and dust.
he knows what it means to be shattered, knows what it means to be neglected, to be dark, dark inflorescence, drying and dying in the shade, with only asteroids to swear by, only the silhouette of sleep against death, only the stars to glean what little understanding he can of what the freezing tendrils of life really are. he knows how cold carbon can burn, how to twist and reach and flex and fracture open and open and open, until all the universe pours down his throat, a reverse scream, a reverse howl, calling for a light he cannot put a name to.
he’d been born yowling and aching before he’d ever even understood the concept.
ii. WARTIME SERENADES. and this is silver.
the dawning of the new millenium harkens him to her horizon and he rises to it on a cascadence of newfound purpose, the motivation of the damned, the determination of a wolf twice splintered, the two halves of his soul melding and welding together in the heat of battle, the war for loyalty. he reshapes himself away from cosmos’ hand, away from the broken glass she forged him from, away from the future she’d already discarded. he reshapes himself into a blade, reshapes himself into dry bone and razor-sharp teeth, reshapes himself into every biting edge and cutting dagger the solar system could possibly offer, his palms no longer empty of blood or gore, now colored heavily with the last sighs of corpses.
the lady of the moon kneels over him only once, and from then on he kneels only to her, he inclines only to her, he assents only to her, and in her warcry, he finds his legs, his arms, his heartbeat, every joint in his knuckles wrapping over the handles of blades, everything he thought had been lost to him forever more. he collides, he cascades, he strikes down against the earth’s gravity, two planets conflicting in a halo of hellish distortions, and even the crater he leaves behind sings a ringing timbre of atonement-- atonement for sins yet uncommitted, but not warded off for long. while the others in the garrison claim every solar flare and ounce of mortal blood, every shredded tree and upheaved continent, endymion calls the shadows to him, calls the silence, calls the quiet hell, writes his name across every widened pair of eyes that never saw him coming.
iii. CONNECTIONS TO: other celestials. this is how onyx darkens.
created as not much more than a mutt, a hodgepodge of shapes and shadows, he considers himself only half-divine, only half finished, a prism monstrosity with a foolish adjacent position near to godliness, close enough to share atmosphere with celestial hosts, but far enough to only see their light after they’ve become supernovae. he cares nothing for all of them, and yet too much for most of them, separate even as he surrounds himself, even as he is surrounded, all with their piercing, jeweled eyes and vicious, seething teeth. he regards them coolly, wholly ice and wholly still. he remembers this always; that he is not belonging to them, he is not beholden to any of them, save one, and he will cut them down, strike them from beings of light to nighttime corpses, their pretty lies and gleaming lipsticks rendered to little more than ash and dust, should his lady wish it. one word from selene and he would lay waste to them all.
iv. CONNECTIONS TO: selene. this is how silver flares.
he discovers the true nature of stars only after meeting the moon. his life, a series of ink-black stains and coal-toned scars, his life a bleak shadow of misunderstanding and regret, of forlorn tragedies and helpless aspirations, of loves unspoken and hearts locked away in iron boxes, he comes to learn that stars are cold, are distant, are detached. he cries to them, baying his emotions out into the universe, out into cosmos’ closed hearing, her ear pressed away from him, her attentions inward only, his wishes collapsing in on themselves like falling comets. the stars do not call back to him.
only the moon does, only the radiation in his general direction, and it’s not love, he knows this, it’s not favor, not intimacy, not desire, not anything he could ever touch or feel or inhale, nothing about her signalling any moment’s attachment to him, yet still, she shines on, as she shines in every direction, in every possible angle, the incandescence of her glow near to blinding him, and he drowns in it. for a creature of the dark, even the smallest of her touches, the least of her murmurs, the shortest of her glances, is enough to fuel him for another millenia; she could not be rid of him unless she killed him, and she has only to voice it, wish it so, and he would complete the task for her, spill his blood between one heartbeat and the next, drain himself of all sharpened edges, all waning howls.
he’d do anything for her, anything, anything, which is why he lets her turn away from him, he lets her disintegrate from his side, lets her discard him when she must-- name him canine and pet hound, name him guardian only, never lover, never husband, never soulmate. in the boroughs of his chest, he caves in on himself slowly, the pieces of him fragmenting more and more with each passing century, but he speaks to none of it, voices none of it. others, ysra most notably, chide him regularly about his unending love, his yawning torment, the devotion he allows to destroy and gnaw his organs, gnashing the gamey meats to poultry while he stands firm and marble in his role as protector, but he can do nothing else. he can love nothing else.
she has given him the chance no other has given him, she has shown him what love truly is-- how can he do anything except try to give it back?
v. CONNECTIONS TO: ysra. when bronze meets flame.
endymion is no raging tide, no furious monstrosity of hurricane, there is very little fire or absolute catastrophe that storms ahead of his stride wherever he may go, he does not seethe with untempered savagery, and although he admires and rather reluctantly adores his partner, his planetary sister by all the prowling gifts and measures she claws and rips for, he understands and notes the differences between them as night and day. her, the sun, burning and hungry and ravenous beyond end, all gold and bronze and heat, her intelligence only seconded by her temper; him, a shadow, not the moon itself, but the absence of light that floods in when all else has faded, cut and sharp and lethal as ice, frozen and silent, a black hound slipping through the insanities of time.
he loves her fiercely, despite himself, despite herself, despite all logic decreeing they should never get along and perhaps never venture within the same space of each other; she smiles when he makes a mistake, he grins when she’s angry-- sometimes he imagines them truly related, truly of blood together, a whole childhood of mingled memories and eternities of understanding, but although he would surrender his life for her own, and she for him, he knows they ignite too separately, too contradictory, too dissident. same coin, vasty different peripheries.
vi. CONNECTIONS TO: cosmos. coal reaching subzero temperatures.
he scrapes out the pieces cosmos embedded inside him, drops the foundation of her touch, ignores the divided hemispheres of his soul, the way reality looks now different from how it looked then. he abandons her and her watch, her worship, her admiration, the bitterment blistering his tongue with a foulness he can never name, a torrid weight he can never announce, only taking each step as to untether himself from his disappointment in her, a blight he’s sure rivals her disappointment in him. he forges himself from steel and stone, hones his instincts from perfection to indomitable supremacy, alights himself with starlight and moondust, a keen shadow to his charge, his mandate, his lady.
he tries not to openly sneer at her sculptures, tries not to hate them publicly, tries not notice their softness, how careful and loving the hands that formed them must have been, for such a mother who discards the children left in the wake of her womb so suddenly and without guidance. he keeps his acidity to himself, locked in the same black ocean inside him where he keeps everything else that’s real and heavy and forlorn, that he cannot, will not, produce in anyone’s presence. jaw wired shut, eyes bright but downcast, endymion centers himself only on the now, the services he strives to provide, the force he must maintain, the court he must endure.
vii. HE WHO BREAKS. the wolf in immortal skin. personality and physical aesthetics.
there is a duality that breeds inside his lungs like a cancer, festers uncertain inside the maze of his heart, the way his words so very rarely match the expressions on his face, how his eyes and brows and lips unjustly divine far more than he usually intends to permit, more expression held in a single glance than any declarations he could manage to give. his eyes bloom too brightly, his lips too quick to grin before he can turn away, the hollowness of most godly creatures unaffecting him just yet, their apathy or fury unscathing him just yet; he who has seen the edge of creation, seen the vacant twilights of disuse and despair, still somehow clinging to the shimmering ends of his time alive, believing the days to be blessings, believing the nights to be more triumphs to conquer. he has been worthless and desolate before, he has been idle and barren and insignificant before-- he shall not be that again.
something in him still yearns, still craves for the light of love just beyond his reach, similarly to himself before his awakening, the outline of his veins beating rancid against the cage of his ribs, but despite this, his exquisite misery, he still bares his heart on his sleeve along with the sword on his back, just as quick with a smile as he is with a knife, refusing to dampen his loyalty or his endearment for anything under the stars. he is unendingly protective, arms like steel bars, gaze like twin arrows, the height of him imposing long carvings against the marble floors, the indentations of his suspicions eternal and irreversible.
a thousand years he stands magnificent and ascetic, a massive wolf hide sewn and threaded into the tapestry of the cloak over his broad shoulders, the uniform meshed from titanium and iron, from volcanic stone and mortar; he is the collected assembly of cold shine and fathomless vantablack, of humanoid and animalistic instincts. poised to growl at anyone too close to his queen, teeth bared and bloodthirsty, he keeps his eyes like daggers to the courts and strangers alike, able to shift instantly from friendly to ferocious in split-second timelines.
with every hour’s passage, he ordains himself to shine ever steady, ever stable, the unshakable anchor of his feet rooted to his position, his profession, his passion, both a star himself (undying and deathless in the surrounding black) and the wolf his queen requires him to be, all outstretched claws and raised hackles. come storm, come turmoil, come upheaval or chaos, endymion stands guardian at the gates of selene’s atmosphere, devoted and true, righteous and unwavering.

Epithets: Aktiophis
Aktiophis: of unknown meaning, used in several hymns to Selene and Hekate in the PGM.
Let all the darkness of clouds be dispersed for me, and let the goddess AKTIOPHIS shine for me, and let her hear my holy voice. … for she has slanderously brought your holy mysteries to the knowledge of men, she, NN, is the one, [not] I, who says, ‘I have seen the greatest goddess, after leaving the heavenly vault, on earth without sandals, sword in hand, and [speaking] a foul tongue.’ It is she, NN, who said, ‘I saw [the goddess] drinking blood.’ She, NN, said it, not I, AKTIOPHIS ERESCHIGAL NEBOUTOSOUALETH PHORPHORBA SATRAPAMMON CHOIRIXIE, flesh eater. Go to her, NN, and take away her sleep and put a burning heat in her soul, punishment and frenzied passion in her thoughts, and banish her from every place and every house, and attract her here to me, NN. – PGM IV. 2441-2621
Bonner tells us that Aktiophis is a moon goddess associated with many different Greek Goddesses. In the PGM the name is often invoked as part of a string of the barbaric words, or voces magicae, which are understood to be magical gibberish.
But you, O Hekate, of many names, O Virgin, Kore, Goddess, Come, I ask, O guard and shelter of the threshing floor, Persephone, O triple-headed goddess, who walk on fire, cow-eyed BOUORPHORBE PANPHORBA PHORBARA AKTIOPHI ERESCHIGAL / NEBOUTOSOUALETH Beside the doors, PYPYLEDEDEZO and gate-breaker; Come Hekate, of fiery counsel, I call you to my sacred chants. – PGM IV 2708
Betz mentions in his glossary that Hopfner believes Aktiophi(s) to be an epithet for Selene, but does not put forth evidence one way or another. The name appears in numerous spells in the PGM, and few are useful as a means of discovering Aktiophis’ true nature.
But you, AKTIOPHIS, Mistress, Selene, Only Ruler, Swift Fortune of daimons and gods. – PGM IV. 2441-2621, which is very similar to PGM IV 2622-2707 in these particulars.
For I adjure you, Kythere, NOUMILLON BIOMBILLON AKTIOPHI ERESCHIGAL NEBOUTOSOUALETH PHROUREXIA THERMIDOUCHE BAREO / NE. – PGM IV. 2891-2942, wherein the epithet is found associated with Aphrodite’s epithet Kythere, and which precedes a second reference to the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite Kythereia.
In PGM VII. 317-18, we see Aktiophis mentioned as part of a spell to make a phylactery, which specifies that the voces magicae are to be spoken to the Moon.
In a fragment of a love spell (PGM VII.981-93) that seems focused largely toward Helios, we find Aktiophis mentioned again in conjunction with Ereschigal and Persephone.
As you can see, several of the appearances of the name Aktiophis comes alongside the name Ereschigal. This Goddess originates in Mesopotamia and shares many traits with Hekate, particularly the dominion over death and birth. Multiple spells in the PGM conflate the two.
Looking at words that resemble parts of Aktiophis in the LSJ, one doesn’t find too much. The word aktios refers to the coast, and is an epithet for the God Pan. As a liminal power, Hekate Aktiophis could be a goddess of the coasts, but that would be pure speculation. Scholars seem to think that Aktiophis is a Goddess in her own right, associated with the Moon, but they each neglect to explain their reasoning, as near as I can tell.
In the PGM, Aktiophis is as likely to be used in a string of barbarous words, known as voces magicae, which are best understood as words of power. The sorcerors and magicians who compiled the PGM weren’t, near as we can tell, concerned with the meaning of these words. Their origin was not important either. What mattered was that they were powerful and, in the right context, capable of empowering the spells.
In short, though scholars describe Aktiophis as a goddess in her own right, not much is known about her, nor why she was associated with Hekate, Aphrodite, and Selene. Ultimately, Aktiophis is less an epithet, and more an association.
