Bagoas pic and subsequent toe fetish

I know; I should be going to bed. I've been typing in the beginnings of this new Wraeththu story which is breaking my heart (though, as in Vaysh/Ashmael's story, it's Storm who first came up with the terrible things that happen to the characters canonically, I'm just elaborating on it!), and decided to revisit a Russian fan site entitled "Bagoas in Love," which has a lot of pictures of Francisco Bosch, as himself or as Bagoas and even some Egyptian-topic'ed movie in which much of his head is shaved. I studied Russian for several years but I can't read most of what's said. Anyway, I found a gorgeous picture of Francisco-as-Bagoas (also known for posing as Panthera in the Wraeththu picture book, and he'd signed the copy I bought from Immanion Press!!) at the site and felt like sharing. I love the juxtaposition of his muscular thighs and calves which contrast with his demure pose and painted toenails... and the ring on his long second toe about undid me. I'm going to have to incorporate that somehow in this Wraeththu fic I'm working on, though neither Aleeme nor Azriel are anywhere functioning enough to care about how beautiful their feet look.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. ♥ I'm ashamed to admit that I've eaten an entire 15 oz jar of Tostitos salsa con queso over 48 hours.

Yes, I'd recommend that, especially since I really have no idea where I'm going with it! :P I did decide on Aleeme's POV, and it takes place after Shades when he's suffering rather from harish PTSD, but Azriel is still… unreachable. It's quite dark. It's only 2500 words thus far, and I'm not going to post as a WIP, so goodness knows when it'll be done. I have, of course, already included a red-haired OC who just happens to be the harling of Yazdyar, who was another OC, the harling of Jaffa and Firethorn, other OCs from the M+M/DtWW combo. LOL. But he's Ferelithian, and more upbeat.

That said, there'll be some healing aruna, too. :) This is the first time I've set anything in the second trilogy- had to dog-ear pages and get the timeline in my head since I'm so much more familiar with the first trilogy.
