Fics like Staying Friends is Safe—Doesn't Mean You Should

A Christmas advent calendar story! Posting daily until 12/24 --- “What are you doing?” Violet hisses down the bond, eyes narrowing as she shoots a glance over her shoulder at me. “Reminding Tecarus that he can’t have you.” It’s not a lie. It may not be my primary motivation, but it’s not a lie because every minute we spend here is another minute I worry about Tecarus doing all he can to collect her, just like he’s collected so many others. To him, she’s only a weapon, a tool, an oddity. And tomorrow, he wants her to perform parlor tricks to prove herself. I clench my jaw and slip my hand higher, thumb brushing the bare skin at her spine. She shivers. But then she twists out of my touch, turning back to Liam as she takes another sip of her wine, his eyes darting down to her mouth as she swallows. “You sure it’s Tecarus you’re reminding?”
