    Summary

    Ichigo wakes up handcuffed to his bed, with his husband of barely a year—nine months and thirteen days—holding a knife to his throat.

    His first thought is that it’s a sex thing.

    His first instinct, strangled before it can take root, is to reach for the nanoreceptors in his bloodstream.

    Alarm wars with a dull spark of interest as he struggles to wake up; the fact that he’s struggling, limbs heavy and eyelids hot, is strange and concerning enough that it wakes him up a little more.

    The knife presses a little more firmly to his jugular, and the weight on his stomach shifts and settles, hot and heavy on his diaphragm.

    Familiar blue eyes, modded to be slitted like a cat’s and glow in the dark, peer down at him. He can’t see the rest of Grimmjow’s face. The room is drenched in darkness.

    “I know you like it rough,” Ichigo rasps, tongue just barely cooperating, “but isn’t this a bit too much?”

    Summary

    The mer's face is twisted into an expression of utter terror—so remarkably human. With all that hair, Steve can’t even see his gills. But Steve’s had over a decade of experience with things that look just human enough to make his conscience twinge, right until the memories wash away the guilt in a flood of rage.

    He walks closer, circling the tank to get a better look at the mer. He’s a bit of a mess, covered in cuts both shallow and deep, with his shoulder-length hair all tangled. He’s bleeding sluggishly still, red swirls vanishing into the water. He’s not in as bad a state as he was when Steve was done with him. Mers heal fast—much, much faster than humans. Steve’s never found that particularly fair, but then, life never is.

    He stops by the foot of the tank, peering down at the mer’s thick, long tail. Objectively, it’s beautiful. The color’s a pale, pearlescent blue that Steve can’t remember seeing on any other of his kind, and the fins are large and transparent, like pretty frills.

    Steve doesn’t even need to close his eyes to picture the very same tail dotted red with the blood of his men.

    “Hello, Bucky.”
