FIC: "Yami no Matsuei" -- "Horror and Desire" (R)

[matrixrefugee]

Through much shuffling around via CD-Rs and Google Documents, I have finally been able to retrieve some of the fics I had been working on when my desktop got itself croggled. First, one of the last two of the centi_50 fics:

Title: Horror and Desire
Author: Matrix Refugee
Rating: R (implied violence, sexual content, bloodplay)
Pairing: Muraki/Tsuzuki
Genre: Drama, psychological
Set and Prompt: 32. Song Lyrics -- “Bad Romance” (Lady GaGa)
Disclaimer: I do not own Yami no Matsuei, aka Descendants of Darkness, it’s characters, concepts and other indicia, which are the intellectual property of Yoko Matsushita, Hiroko Tokita, Manga Entertainment, Viz Media, Hakusensha, Central Park Media, et al.
Word Count: 100

I want your horror
I want your design
Cause you’re a criminal
As long as your mine



Tsuzuki stands with his back against a wall, a tanto thrust through his shoulder with its point embedded into the plaster, holding him in place. Muraki leans down to lick the blood flowing over Tsuzuki’s naked chest, keeping his good eye cocked toward the shinigami’s face, clearly watching the horror and pleasure that play over his features. Tsuzuki has done many things that he regrets, but this, yielding to his enemy, this bad choice in a romantic partner, is not one of them. Despite the horror and revulsion knotting his belly, Tsuzuki looks into his enemy’s eye and smiles, letting himself enjoy this moment, though he hates himself for it.

Aw. This has to be one of my favorites! It's such a pity that it's too short *sad* Anyway, I enjoyed this small piece of fiction immensely, and I surely liked how you pictured the way Tsuzuki feels toward the pale doctor.
'Tsuzuki has done many things that he regrets, but this, yielding to his enemy, this bad choice in a romantic partner, is not one of them.' - I love these words, they're amazing. It's just... I don't even know what else to say here, they're simply perfect. Thank you ever so much!

I have to admit, the first time I heard the Lady Gaga song this is based on, I thought immediately of Muraki and Tsuzuki (And there are a crazy number of Lady Gaga songs that fit this pair: "Monster" fits Muraki and "Poker Face" makes me think of the card game in the King of Swords arc). So when I had the chance to write a fic based on it, I jumped at it.
