Being in the New World Thomas is opened up to all new sorts of things. Things he had always been told was wrong and immoral, things he had felt were disgusting and should never be brought up even in private company. Meeting the Indians and becoming part of them changes his whole life.
The Governor dies on the way over, stupid enough to go on deck in a storm and yell at the wind to stop blowing. His manservant mourns and droops and tries to suck up to Smith, but Smith isn’t having any of it. He’s the leader, now, they are all agreed: he has experience, charisma. He won’t leave anyone behind
( ... )
For all his wariness, Kocoum still manages to surprise him. Thomas is out gathering berries in the spring, very proud that the women have declared him able to go out on his own without a watcher (though he does not go far from the village) when a large hand lands on his shoulder. Thomas jumps and squeaks and whirls to see Kocoum gazing expressionlessly at him, and for a moment all Thomas can think is, Well, this is it, I’m going to die.But Kocoum does not kill him, just looks at him, and eventually Thomas finds his voice and says, shakily, “Did you want some berries?” He holds the little basket out hopefully. A corner of Kocoum’s mouth just barely twitches - Thomas would not have seen it if he had not been watching the other man so closely. It almost looks like the beginning of a smile
( ... )
He leaves. Thomas sits down hard in the leaf mould and shakes for a while, and then he puts his head in his hands and thinks harder than he ever has before in his life. He knows he’s looked at men before, but he was always too shy and too aware of the danger to say anything. And Kocoum is certainly a very handsome man, what with the broad shoulders and the impressive competence and the air of barely-contained danger; indeed, he is just the sort of man Thomas would admire in England. From a distance. Quietly
( ... )
Kocoum stands. He is very tall, Thomas realizes yet again, and broad-shouldered, and dangerous. If Thomas has just made a huge mistake (maybe it was a one-time offer? Maybe he misunderstood completely), then he is about to die. He stands very still, and Kocoum reaches out and gathers Thomas to his chest and stands there holding him, very gently, for a long time.
Thomas relaxes slowly. It’s a little hard to go from about-to-die to hugging, after all. But Kocoum’s arms are strong and warm and not hurting Thomas at all, and eventually Thomas stops shaking - only realizing then that he had started shaking - and dares to lace his own arms around Kocoum. This seems to be a cue, because as soon as he returns the embrace, Kocoum leans down to murmur in Thomas’s ear, “I am honored
( ... )
Thomas stays still, fisting his hands in the furs and whimpering as Kocoum’s hands and mouth over his body, finding all sorts of places Thomas didn’t even know were sensitive. Who knew that a tongue against his nipple made him shiver, that barely-gentle bites along his ribs made him bite his lips to muffle screams, that a huge warm hand could feel like that on his manhood? That Kocoum could bring him off with just that hand, watching with those impassive eyes as Thomas arches and shakes and moans, bone-deep? “Please,” says Thomas when he can speak again, though he has no idea what he’s asking for.
Kocoum smiles.
It is a small smile, thin and out-of-place on that solemn face, but Thomas memorizes it, clings to the image of it as Kocoum bends to kiss him again and lowers himself on top of Thomas. Kocoum is heavy, yes, but Thomas likes it, likes feeling Kocoum as a warm protective blanket between him and the world, all that strength still dangerous, but now Thomas is behind it, under it, protected and sheltered and safeSomewhere

haha omg and I actually have read another author on lj who does Kocoum/Thomas that uses two-spirit in the same sense so I didn't even think twice about the definition lol The few K/T fics I've found all seem to have this one thing in common and I always find it interesting what they call it

Hey, so glad you liked it! If you remember who the other one is on LJ I'd be glad to know - as far as I remember I'm the only one on this meme who writes K/T, but I could easily be wrong.
ETA: Or there could be lots of other people and I could be very wrong! Hurrah for the Delicious archive.

*staring in wonder* Oh, what a lovely lovely bit of wonderful this is! (heh, can you tell I had no idea how to put my happiness into words?)
I absolutely love this, it's everything I could want from this pairing, all the possessiveness (I've typed that word over and over again, and I still think it has too many 's') but still gentle and, and, gah! I loved everything. :D
And I think your description of the Two-Spirits was spot on! Very well said.
Pocahontas- Kocoum/Thomas
Kinks: strength, D/s, biting/marking, possessiveness,
