evian_forkRating: NC-17
Pairing: Bradley/Colin, Colin/OMC
Characters: Bradley James, Colin Morgan, various OCs

Art Masterpost: Art by the lovely
evian_fork here - Thank you so much for illustrating our story ♥
Summary: Bradley has spent years cultivating an image which feels as hollow as his Hollywood victory. Colin, in moments of weakness, thinks he might have left his soul behind on the set of Merlin. Sometimes, running gets you nowhere except full circle.
Warnings: Prostitution, explicit sex, orgasm denial, voyeurism, D/s undertones, internalized homophobia (in the past, and glossed over), angst and more angst, unhealthy relationship, internalised shame (briefly experienced by one character after sex).
Disclaimer: We own nothing and this is absolutely not real and for entertainment purposes only. No offense to anyone intended.
Notes: A: So, Ruffle, we made it! We refused reality and substituted our own. Thank you so much for letting me do this with you, and for ALL THE THINGS. It's such a pleasure to work on any project with you and I'm so happy we did this together and didn't kill each other or anything, and you even let me keep some run-on sentences because that's the kind of generous person you are and I adore you. Yeah. ♥ ♥ ♥
R: Alby, you are a dream to work with. I've told you this before, not only are you a gifted artist, you're one of the best writers I know and it's been an honor doing this with you. I can only hope that we get to work together again. ILU <3
