askmenosecrets: (this strikes me as a bad situation)

Arcadian Forest Party

This was more work that he usually bothered to put in, Pan thought, especially here, at home, but everything was set.




At first glance, it appeared to be a forest clearing, beautiful and wild but nothing different than a hundred other clearings spread throughout the woods of the Arcadian mountains. But when you looked again, Pan thought, you saw something quite different. Hidden in the trees were a series of structures suspended in air, hung with ivy and dew, and through the mist-shrouded branches you could see the faint glow of light, and you could smell the scent of fire and food. There was the fire pit, a circle suspended in the arms of a large oak with a crackling golden fire, a roast, and bowls of marshmallows, chocolate and crackers waiting. There was the bar, stocked with a rich variety of wines and alcohols and staffed by two of the satyrs. And then there was the forest floor itself, bare now, but waiting for the dancing. On all sides of the floor, there were cushions on the low branches and benches of fallen logs, each accompanied with wooden buckets full of wine and beer bottles and glassed suspended with vine.

"Well," he said to Zaffre, currently wrapped around his neck, "I think we're ready." Pan flicked a leaf off his forest green turtleneck and looked around with approval before pausing. "We're almost ready," he corrected, and pulled his pan flute up to his lips.

The forest filled with music as he played, music that began as the mystical songs of the flute, but transformed as he let the instrument fall to his side - transformed into thrumming, sensual rhythms and intricate guitars that would encourage the party-goers to...well, Pan thought with a sharp grin, to be bad. Very bad.

"Let the games begin," Pan said.

[Notes: Everyone in [livejournal.com profile] fortuna_invicta is invited, the more the merrier in Pan's opinion. If anyone needs directions to the right section of the forest, let Pan know on the SWS post. Mingle! Get drunk! Stuff your face! Find a secluded tree and do naughty things! Pan approves highly of all these pursuits. Format = narrative third person, if you please!]

"Are you sure it's a good idea to be doing that when I have a stick with a flaming marshmallow on the end of it?" She tried her best to sound annoyed, but the look on her face completely contradicted it.

"I had a pretty good idea." Ever since her last trip to Apollo's beach house, Addie had been reading up on Greek mythology. While she still didn't have everyone picked out and nailed down, she had foggy ideas. "Thanks for the invitation."

He could stay like this for hours, he thought lazily, tipping his head into her hands with a smile. He stroked his hand along her leg before lowering it carefully, always attentive after the fact as well as during.

"I hope I'll see you again before you return to the Northlands, my dear Freya," he murmured as he stepped back. The only signs of their activity were a red bite-mark on his collarbone that wasn't at all hidden by his carelessly buttoned shirt and a decidedly sated expression.

"Tell me," he whispers, the hand down the front of his jeans drawing a not-entirely-faked gasp and shiver out of him. "Tell me what it will feel like, when you have your way with me, pressed against one of the trees..."

He shifted them back a half step, lip between his teeth as he watched Pan through his lashes, forever looking perfectly the part of an innocent boy caught in the spider's web. "You would make everyone listen, wouldn't you? To what you did to me, to the sounds you'd pull out of me while you fucked me." He can be vulgar, oh yes. He's gotten quite good at making a living off it, in a manner. From modeling to pornography was only one small, easy step when you never aged or got tired of sex.

Pan nodded and sandwiched his marshmallow between chocolate and graham. "They're interesting," he said as he took a bite. "I haven't played one of them for a while." His last masquerade hadn't ended very well, he thought, his eyes darkening. "What's your current guise, darling?"

"Are you going to set my hair on fire?" Pan asked innocently as he leaned back. "But I've finally got it doing something that doesn't resemble a goat."

"I'm always hot," he returns, a tiny quirk of a smile in his voice, though he doesn't open his eyes. It's just as clear he's talking to Dionysus.

"Or hadn't you noticed?" Ganymede intone, that same small quirk twisting a note of amused dryness.

Eris allowed him to link his arm with hers, her nearly empty drink to be left behind. (She hardly remembered finishing it off so quickly, but then again, she'd been plenty distracted.)

"Few can be as good as we are," she laughed as her free hand ran through her hair, doing nothing but messing it up even more.

Freya smiled, softly, as she straightened her dress.

"Oh, I think I shall make of point of it, Eros."

Sensing her daughter's approach, Nyx already had a slight smile on her pale countenance. Nodding in greeting, she held out a hand to her child, saying quietly, "Hello, love. Why, thank you. I could say the same, and am glad to see you tonight."

Hyacinthe made a sound, a half-stifled, half-mad laugh of relief and joy before he leaned up and pressed a more urgent kiss to the lips of the god.

"Beloved..." He whispered against Apollo's lips. In this moment, he didn't care that millennia had separated that, that they had both perhaps known others in that long time since Hyacinthe had died at his lover's feet, his last thoughts confusion and pain. If he received nothing more than a kiss, it would be enough.

"I think the view may have been enjoying me," he murmurs, grinning rather wickedly and running a finger over it. "Dear cousin Freya from the Northlands is visiting. It would have been terribly rude not to introduce myself."

He's not done, not by half, not even after that blaze of lust, but he's sated for now and ready to observe the party he and Freya had fled almost immediately after laying eyes on each other. "I see you've taken my advice and sought out a night off."

"Like fire," Pan said as he wrapped his hand around Ganymede's cock and squeezed. "Like delicious, liquid fire melting your nerves and making you move against me. Making you beg," he whispered as he took Ganymede's mouth again and backed him up towards one of the trees.

"I'd let them listen," he purred as he stroked. "It would be a privilege to listen to every sound you made, every scream, every plea."

"It was actually your clothes I was thinking of setting on fire." Nemesis pulled her marshmallow out of the fire, and blew on it. "But now that you've mentioned your hair..."

[identity profile] moonlitselene.livejournal.com 2010-12-12 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
Selene had nearly forgotten about her own s'more, which sat in her hand, still untouched. She mimicked him, taking a bite of her own. "A young intern in New York... Morpheus has an office where he's been but all too kind and hired me in the guise of an intern..."

Her eyes lit up and she smiled brightly. "Pan, you must come visit sometime..."

"Nemi," Pan said as he lounged next to her. "Really. If you wanted to get me naked, you just had to ask."

[identity profile] panikondeima.livejournal.com 2010-12-12 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
"New York?" Pan's grin flashed. "Well, admittedly, I haven't caused trouble there for a while. Would you show me the sights?"

[identity profile] moonlitselene.livejournal.com 2010-12-12 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
Selene eagerly took the seat next to him, perhaps a little closer than absolutely necessary. "And I send my love to them... It's a shame that the three of you cannot be present at the same time."

She offered him the chocolate from her plate. "Dare I say, I'm glad at least my favorite is here..."

[identity profile] avenginggoddess.livejournal.com 2010-12-12 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
Nemesis snorted. "I'm sure, if I wanted to get you naked, I wouldn't even have to ask. It probably wouldn't take much more than a suggestive look in your direction."

"Phobetor has been asking me for ages. I just gave him some time to do as he wishes. Though this does mean there will be an influx of nightmares..."

[identity profile] moonlitselene.livejournal.com 2010-12-12 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
"New York," Selene repeated, nodding her head emphatically. "Well of course I would! Whatever sights you wanted to see, I'd be more than happy to."

"Mutual ego-stroking is so satisfying with you, my darling," Eros murmured, leaning forward to peck her cheek. "I'm so looking forward to seeing what you get up to here."

Then he stage-whispered, "If it involved Dionysus, I'd especially enjoy it. So would our gracious host, I'd bet," he added, nodding at Pan.

A low groan stifled from Apollo's lips as Hyacinthe returned his hesitant affection and immediately strong arms encircled him, holding tight and wedging him between the god and the bar counter. The kiss returned was hard, fierce, but no less wanting than the million more given and bestowed eons ago.

To have this precious creature in his arms again was a blessing not even the deity had ever contemplated. Yet nor would he question it; for the Fates and their whims were ever a mystery. Finally lifting his head from such a torrid embrace, Apollo breathed against Hyacinthe's mouth, "...I have missed you for too long, lover...far too long..."

Pan batted his eyelashes and effected an innocent expression before leaning forward to whisper conspirationally. "Doesn't even take that much," he said with a gleam in his eyes.

[identity profile] he-who-shapesus.livejournal.com 2010-12-12 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
He smiled and took the offered treat with a nod of thanks. "You flatter me dear."
