@lllostgirlll Here’s one for any new/existing Skorpa enthusiasts (disclaimer to everyone except about 3 people: Yes, I know he’s overwhelming reviled in the fandom, for good reason, but I’m the weirdo who finds him as a fictional character attractive despite this).

Due to the dearth of Bitey McBiteFlesh fics, I’m writing my own. That is, I’m writing an ‘unconventional’ take on one—a mixture of detailed plot outline and actual fic parts. I’m not good at writing fics; I tend to get stuck on arbitrary non-smutty details and find myself unable to surpass them, which leads me to abandon the fic before the dirty parts. Ergo, if I leave those details as plot outline rather than prose, at least the smutty parts get written (let’s face it, that’s what most people are here for, right?). So…

I’m aware I’ve put altogether too much thought into a story, or simply a story idea, that maybe a handful of people will ever read, much less care about. But it is what it is.

As there was so little backstory given to S’s character (I’m aware there’s significantly more in the novel ‘The Pale Horseman’, and his character is quite different, but I haven’t read said novel), I’m basing most of my idea on what we know from the episodes, with a few facets from what I know of the novel.

I think it’s safe to say our bitey lad was pretty ruthless, viewing everyone as expendable unless they were useful to him in some way. It’s unclear whether his war band were loyal to him or purely mercenary, and how invested he was in their wellbeing beyond whether they were healthy enough and willing to fight on his side. I would, however, like to think there was a camaraderie between them in general, albeit a superficial one, as long as their allegiance remained.

I’d like to think his approach to women was similar: he wouldn’t harm them if they were useful, or at least inconsequential, to him. Disposing of them notwithstanding, he doesn’t exactly strike me as the monogamous type. So, I was trying to envision a fleet of unicorns scenario wherein he’d not only -not- want to end a woman, -but- keep her around, -and- be satisfied with monogamy. Don’t get me wrong, it wouldn’t be a warm and tender love story—if he were to be faithful to one woman it would be because one particular aspect of it was amazing, and that’s what the relationship would revolve around.

Well, he likes to keep his teeth, beard and hands nice and bloody, preferably by going feral on the battlefield, so it’s not a stretch to imagine he could be into biting and blood-letting elsewhere too. What if fates aligned and brought him into contact with a Saxon woman who shared his kink, as the masochist to his sadist? Having never met anyone who enjoys being biten and having their blood drawn, he’d be riding high on that thrill for a good while.

So, that’s the premise.

Unlikely there’ll be many takers, but I’m writing it regardless, and will share it via DM. Please like, reblog, or contact me privately if interested.
