Title – Miscommunication

Rating – R

Warnings – None for this chapter

Pairings – Toshiya x Die

Disclaimers – I own none of these people because slavery is illegal

Description – Plot bunny that wouldn't leave me alone about what can happen when people don't communicate about sex and relationships...this is the third part and we're back to a narrator's POV rather than one of the characters dominating. Probably one more chapter to go after this. Tooth rotting sweetness ahead here. Miscommunication 3

Title – Miscommunication

Rating – R

Warnings – None really, kind of heavy emotionally

Pairings – Toshiya x Die

Disclaimers – I own none of these people because slavery is illegal

Description – Plot bunny that wouldn't leave me alone about what can happen when people don't communicate about sex and relationships...this does end up happier than it starts! Also an attempt at describing the same situation from the perspective of different people, that's something I've been curious about doing for a while. This is Die's perspective, quite different to Toshiya's. And look, see what happens when they actually talk to each other about it instead of just making assumptions...
BTW please ignore the multiple faux links saying "Read this" - LJ is being wierd and I don't know how to make them go away.

Chapter 8 - Toshiya inadvertently reveals something he hadn't intended to, Die reacts exactly as predicted. Luckily Toshiya, unlike Kaoru, is not an asshole. Unexpected sweetness ensues. Seriously guys, I know this has been a pretty grim fic but we just hit the turning point, so rejoice!

Chapter 7 - Kaoru gets over his fear of being caught, with predictably assholish results. Die finally starts to find his backbone.

Trigger warning - This fic deals with consent issues in detail. Nothing is very graphic, but it could be triggery in an emotional sense for survivors of sexual assault or emotional abuse. Part of what I'm trying to do here is delve into the whole idea of what consent is, what isn't true consent even if it seems to be because it's coerced, and what is and isn't ethical behavior in a sexual relationship. People who get off on rape, this isn't for you, and you won't find it interesting (and if anyone leaves pro-rape comments I'll delete them). This is all about the subtle stuff and how people muddle their way through it.

Chapter 5 - The next day. Die struggles to explain what's going on with Kaoru, Toshiya doesn't like what he's hearing and tries to talk some sense into him.
Trigger warning - I should probably have put this on chapter 3 too. OK - this fic will deal with consent issues in detail. Nothing is very graphic, but it could be triggery in an emotional sense for survivors of sexual assault or emotional abuse. Part of what I'm trying to do here is delve into the whole idea of what consent is, what isn't true consent even if it seems to be because it's coerced, and what is and isn't ethical behavior in a sexual relationship.
