It came to Loki in a fevered rush, causing him to thrust deeper and harder into the enslaved creature he was using, turning grunts to moans to screams. Futile cries for mercy, for Loki was already lost in the dream-space, reaching for what he would need to bring this new test to life.<br \/><br \/>And a test it would be, for this time, Loki would exercise discretion.<br \/><br \/>First, to discovery. Loki had left the man alone for many months, long enough for him to have regained some of the footing lost with his partners-in-arms. Natasha had simply overridden all the security protocols, met Bruce in his rooms, listened as he spilled his fears and offered a comforting hand. His dear brother had discovered chess, losing every time to Bruce, using the interaction to connect. Clint taught Bruce to shoot, not well, but decent enough that there was laughter between them. Steve spoke to Bruce, always the same - never mentioning the Other Guy, never flinching. And Tony - oh, Tony was ever present, hovering, needing, watching Bruce like others watch wild animals, waiting for the beast to spring and disappear.<br \/><br \/>Not trust, perhaps, but a truce, and Loki knew it could be easily overcome. The path he&#39;d wrought still lingered, bright and ready for its master&#39;s return. The seeds Loki had planted needed but fresh attention to spring back to life, and Loki brushed each in turn to remind them of their purpose as he left the now-unconscious form under him, shoving it aside, its service complete.<br \/><br \/>Empowered now, full, Loki stretched and reached into Bruce&#39;s mind, his lust enlivening the spaces he&#39;d built there, delighting in the great Beast&#39;s hatred, its impotence. Trapped inside Bruce, curling in his depths, he could do nothing but hate from deep within, and Loki shuddered in the joy of that understanding.<br \/><br \/>Bruce pulled away again, into his rooms, away from his friends as the fevered dreams returned. Tony tried to talk to him, and Thor, and the others, but Bruce would not explain, snapped back at them with an anger that bled his eyes green, made them go silent. Only Tony stayed under that gaze, glowering back until Bruce returned, and so Loki thought Tony the perfect choice for his test.<br \/><br \/>All this, Loki did from afar, and could do more - but more was not yet necessary, and neither, for that matter, was distance. He&#39;d always had a particular fondness for performance, and he was certain this one would be masterful.<br \/><br \/>And so it was, weeks later, that Loki took the form of an ant, crawling through the vents and clinging to the ceiling as the Avengers spoke of him. He listened, watching with barely-contained delight as Bruce twitched, almost imperceptibly, every time someone mentioned Loki&#39;s name. The man was curled inward, hands pressed deep into pockets, shoulders hunched and tense, and Tony was watching him with eyes that shone, hard and bright and seeing. But oh, not enough. Not nearly enough.<br \/><br \/>Tony&#39;s words drove Bruce to the inevitable end. &quot;If he hasn&#39;t been in the last dozen places we&#39;ve looked, then Loki -&quot; And it was done. Bruce&#39;s face twitched, his hands shot out, and he shoved, hard, away from the table to stand and stalk out. The game had begun.<br \/><br \/>Loki knew what would come, and it did. Tony, so strong and willful, did not follow at first, but Loki watched as the worry settled into the man&#39;s eyes, niggled at him until he stopped hearing what the others were saying. At last, he broke from them, Thor in mid-sentence, and followed in Bruce&#39;s wake. Loki followed as well, knowing his moment was close.<br \/><br \/>Bruce was carefully rolling clothes, packing a tiny bag, small enough to carry over one shoulder, when Tony found him. Anger rolled off them both, the kind borne of need unrequited, and they stared at each other long. Loki watched.<br \/><br \/>Tony broke the silence. &quot;You can&#39;t just fucking leave.&quot;<br \/><br \/>&quot;I can,&quot; Bruce replied, and Loki thrilled. :I have to. Unless you&#39;re telling me I&#39;m a prisoner?&quot;<br \/><br \/>Tony looked stricken. &quot;No,&quot; he responded automatically, then sought other words as Bruce kept packing. &quot;But...Bruce, we really need you. With us.&quot;<br \/><br \/>Bruce groaned, zipping up the bag, running a hand through those delicious curls Loki had made use of so very many times. &quot;That&#39;s the thing, Tony,&quot; he replied without looking up. &quot;I&#39;m not with you - any of you - any more. There&#39;s just...&quot; he paused, working at words. &quot;Too much standing in the way.&quot;<br \/><br \/>Tony&#39;s gaze went hard, intense. &quot;So talk to us. Tell us what&#39;s going on.&quot;<br \/><br \/>Bruce shook his head, pursing his lips, licking them a moment. He picked up the bag, and Tony quivered. And oh, it was lovely, and perfect, exactly as Loki had hoped. He watched Tony shiver with the desire to grab Bruce&#39;s arm, force him to stay, and fairly reveled. This would be good.<br \/><br \/>Bruce went for the door, and Tony followed, eyes wide and sharp and furious and needy. He didn&#39;t let Bruce get on the elevator alone, nor did he say a word to the man as it ticked its way to the ground floor. Then, they were both heading for the doors thoughtlessly, and Loki&#39;s chance was so close...<br \/><br \/>Tony put out his hand, caught Bruce&#39;s elbow at the outside door. &quot;Bruce...&quot; was all he managed, and that wreck of a man Loki had been tormenting looked up, for only the briefest moment, and caught that gaze.<br \/><br \/>And then the door was open, and the protections of the tower were breached, and Loki swept in to take them away.<br \/><br \/>*****<br \/><br \/><i>Don&#39;t do this, Bruce. God, please don&#39;t.<\/i><br \/><br \/>But Tony was still unconscious, and oh, <i>god<\/i>, he needed it...just for a second. Just for a couple of pure, sweet seconds...<br \/><br \/>Tony&#39;s eyes fluttered, and Bruce fell back, his rigid cock still in his useless rubbing hand, relief and frustration flooding him in equal amounts. He groaned, wishing Tony had woken up earlier, wishing he was still out, and that moist mouth were still available.<br \/><br \/>&quot;The Jotun have a serum shared between bedmates,&quot; Loki had told him a few minutes before, smiling, &quot;to ensure that their pairing is productive. It is potent, built for the bodies of giants.: He&#39;d glanced down at Bruce&#39;s member, which had already begun to swell, and Bruce covered himself in shame as Loki licked his lips.<br \/><br \/>&quot;It courses through you now,&quot; Loki finished, fading already from view, his transparency allowing Bruce to see Tony across the room. Bruce&#39;s skin lit immediately with need, and Loki laughed to see it.<br \/><br \/>Tony groaned, and that made it worse, oh so much worse. Bruce&#39;s hand came up on its own and latched onto Tony&#39;s shoulder, squeezing, almost rolling the man over to face him. Almost.<br \/><br \/>Bruce panted with effort. &quot;Tony...&quot; he managed, his fist wrapped tight around his member, working him, keeping him away from Tony&#39;s face. There wasn&#39;t room for shame in him; the need was too great.<br \/><br \/>&quot;Bruce?&quot; Tony answered, still turned away, and that made it worse too. God, he was going to fall apart.<br \/><br \/>&quot;Bruce?&quot; Tony repeated, rolling over now on his own, and Bruce shoved away from him too hard, getting shaky legs under him. Walk away. Walk away.<br \/><br \/>He&#39;d come twice already, and his cock felt raw, but Bruce was still heady with hunger. His mind was filled with images of Tony - on his knees, taking Bruce in his mouth; on his back, Bruce hammering his ass; on top, riding Bruce&#39;s cock, coming on Bruce&#39;s belly. God, <i>god<\/i>, he needed it. He <i>needed<\/i>.<br \/><br \/>He&#39;d never hated Loki as much as he did now.<br \/><br \/>Bruce could hear Tony sit up across the room. He swallowed hard, turned away, licked his hand once more. His mouth was dry, lips chapped, so he spat what he could into his hand and wrapped it around himself with a groan, just <i>squeezing<\/i>, holding, knowing he was losing this battle.<br \/><br \/>Tony was on his feet. He was going to come over. Bruce knew it - fuck, <i>wanted<\/i> it - and was terrified.<br \/><br \/>&quot;Ugh,&quot; Tony managed. Bruce&#39;s cock throbbed, and he swallowed a moan of his own. &quot;Bruce, where are -&quot;<br \/><br \/>&quot;Stop. Don&#39;t.&quot; Bruce&#39;s voice, hoarse and deep, stopped Tony in his tracks. Good - oh, good, good, that the whole team had been trained to listen for that hint of warning. Tony stopped moving, went silent, and Bruce was both thankful and furious for it.<br \/><br \/>Bruce cleared his throat, didn&#39;t let go, didn&#39;t turn. His hand started working him again absently, and he couldn&#39;t keep the hunger from his voice. &quot;Tony, <i>god<\/i>...Loki. Loki has us.&quot; He moaned, throwing his head back, fighting for control now in more ways than one. &quot;Loki...&quot; Hate fired through him, as primal and raw as his desire, taking Bruce to his knees with the force of it.<br \/><br \/>Oh, god. The Other Guy...<br \/><br \/>&quot;<i>Fuck<\/i>, Tony...&quot; Bruce managed, on hands and knees now, fists leaving dents in the smooth floor. &quot;I can&#39;t, I can&#39;t...&quot; He pressed his forehead to the cool floor, groaning and heaving, horrified that, even then, his body ached for Tony&#39;s.<br \/><br \/>A hand was on his shoulder, and Bruce snatched at it without thinking, pulling its owner down on top of him in a tumble. Tony was on him, and oh, <i>hell<\/i>, how he wanted...<br \/><br \/>It wasn&#39;t even a thought - Bruce just fisted a hand in Tony&#39;s hair and shoved him down toward his hips.<br \/><br \/>&quot;Hey, woah!&quot; Tony shouted, getting his hands on the floor and pushing back, holding himself still. Bruce growled deep in his chest, lost now, wanting nothing more than to thrust himself into Tony&#39;s throat. A second hand fisted in that hair and tried to shove him down.<br \/><br \/>Tony grunted, fighting with effort. &quot;Bruce...what the hell...come on, please!&quot; It was the <i>please<\/i> that got through; Bruce&#39;s hands let go, arms flying to his sides, and Tony scrambled away on hands and knees.<br \/><br \/>Bruce moaned and bucked, fighting, panting, coming apart with need and hate. &quot;He drugged me, Tony,<i> fuck<\/i> - he <i>drugged<\/i> me,&quot; Bruce managed through clenched teeth, hips thrusting uselessly in the air, &quot;and I can&#39;t...keep...&quot;<br \/><br \/>Tony watched, swallowing hard, and Loki saw understanding dawn on the man. Bruce&#39;s body was starting to quiver, to change, and oh, how Loki wanted to ride that body as it did, as the need flooded the Beast and took him over. He could imagine it now, Tony screaming and writhing under heavy hands, torn and bleeding...<br \/><br \/>But that was not to happen, it seemed.<br \/><br \/>&quot;Tell me what you need,&quot; Tony said, words a flood. &quot;Tell me what you need to stay here, like this. Bruce.&quot; Bruce&#39;s eyes, bleeding to green, locked on Tony&#39;s, and that body bucked and twisted toward him, and then oh, yes, the shame came, rising in Bruce&#39;s cheeks, spilling in a single tear that Loki fought not to lick away.<br \/><br \/>Tony understood then, and nodded, and Bruce groaned, a sound both needy and ashamed. He shivered and fought the change as Tony crawled back over to him, murmuring that it was okay, that he&#39;d help, that it would be all right and nothing would change between them. And in many ways, this was better, for Loki thrilled to see what it destroyed in Bruce to accept that lie.<br \/><br \/>Bruce&#39;s trembling hand found Tony&#39;s hair again, and pushed, and this time, Tony barely fought. He opened his mouth readily, eyes closed, and took Bruce in.<br \/><br \/>Bruce wasn&#39;t gentle, couldn&#39;t be. He shoved himself deep into Tony&#39;s mouth, curling fingers in the man&#39;s hair to lift him and push him down even harder. Tony took it, grunting and moaning around him, and it was good, oh, <i>fuck<\/i>, so good. He let Tony breathe, fisting his fingers in that hair hard enough to make him wince, and that was even better. Bruce shoved him hungrily back down, thrusting deep into Tony&#39;s throat, and came once, right there.<br \/><br \/>It wasn&#39;t enough<br \/><br \/>Bruce growled, and the beast inside him rumbled and turned, wanting to wake. He wanted to let him, but Tony was there, spitting and wiping and grasping at Bruce&#39;s hands, Bruce&#39;s face. &quot;Stay with me,&quot; he said, looking right into Bruce&#39;s eyes. &quot;Come on, stay with me.&quot;<br \/><br \/>Bruce started to shake his head no, wanting - oh, <i>needing<\/i> - the release, but then Tony&#39;s hand wrapped around his still-aching cock, and his skin lit with an entirely different hunger.<br \/><br \/>&quot;That&#39;s it,&quot; Tony cooed, his slick hand moving up and down, eyes fixed on Bruce&#39;s face. &quot;Just stay with me, and we&#39;ll be fine.&quot; Tony shivered a little as Bruce&#39;s hands fumbled with his belt, his trousers, but didn&#39;t stop rubbing, let his pants fall.<br \/><br \/>Bruce grunted, definitely <i>there<\/i> with Tony, so hungry for him that he found the man&#39;s throat, bit hard. Tony cried out, but that only made Bruce harder and needier, and he was suddenly grabbing at the man&#39;s hips, wrestling him to the ground, shoving his legs wide to get inside. It was all Tony could do to slick his hand over Bruce, over his entrance, before it was too late.<br \/><br \/>Bruce thrust himself into Tony with abandon, working hard to open him, drinking in the pain he found in those eyes that just made him want in deeper. In time, with the help of Tony&#39;s slick hand and his own spittle, he buried himself completely and held there, skin shivering with the need for transformation, for release.<br \/><br \/>Tony was moaning, &quot;No, stay with me, Bruce. God, please.&quot; The <i>please <\/i>broke through again, and Bruce knew, for just a moment, what he was doing, and Loki drank in the hatred and self-loathing, feeding the need he felt growing in Tony&#39;s middle so it could eventually spill forth.<br \/><br \/>And then the serum took Bruce again, and he groaned. He smiled down at his victim as his hips began to rock.<br \/><br \/>Half an hour passed like this, Bruce relenting long enough to lick Tony&#39;s entrance wet once, and then again, then fucking Tony with abandon. Tony whispered, over and over, that it was okay, begging Bruce to stay with him and not unleash the beast. Tony even pulled lotion from a discarded pocket and used it, much to Loki&#39;s delight, easing Bruce&#39;s entry as he spoke in soft, calming tones, encouraging him, telling him he wanted it, deserved it. Bruce groaned and bucked and came and came, and it just wasn&#39;t ever enough. Loki reveled in every filthy moment from his spot in the corner, invisible, tasting each man&#39;s mind, savoring their lust, their revulsion.<br \/><br \/>It was with the third taking, after Bruce had made Tony lick him clean and suck him off again, that Tony, wet and open and touched by Loki&#39;s growing hunger, grew hard as well. On hands and knees, Bruce&#39;s cock buried deep inside, Tony felt his own hunger rise impossibly out of the pain and humiliation and hated it, just a little bit. But to Loki&#39;s delight, that didn&#39;t stop the man from pushing himself harder against Bruce&#39;s hips, from moaning that it was good, so good, from rolling over and begging for release after Bruce&#39;s quivering orgasm had taken him.<br \/><br \/>When Bruce&rsquo;s mouth closed over Tony&#39;s member, Loki felt it on his own, drank in the abandon with joy. He rode Tony&#39;s skin, enveloping the man with need, hiding from him the pain and the shame long enough for Tony to beg and buck and come undone, and want it even more. Bruce moaned and hummed over Tony&#39;s member, grabbing hips to thrust him deep into his mouth, that mouth Loki remembered so well, wanted.<br \/><br \/>Tony spent there, crying out with need, and Bruce swallowed it all before turning Tony over a fourth time, spitting froth on that entrance before he took it. Lost, ridden by Loki, Tony spread his legs for Bruce, hungered and moaned acquiescence. Soon, he was lost in the thrusting, and Loki was as well, wanting nothing more than to be speared again by that great beast, to be pinned and taken and done. Tony&#39;s eyes were closed, his mouth open, and Loki wanted to thrust his cock into that end not being used, to feel himself take Tony as he felt Tony taken, abused beyond reason.<br \/><br \/>But oh, not yet - there would be time for such violations later, when Bruce was undone, when the Beast was finally his. Loki let Bruce ride Tony, the Beast curling underneath, until both men fairly screamed with need, crying each other&#39;s names while Loki, panting and groaning, watched in hunger.<br \/><br \/>At last, it was enough, the serum worn down, and Loki released them both. Bruce howled and bucked and shoved himself into Tony as he came - finally, finally spent.<br \/><br \/>Loki released the glamour the moment they both fell to ground, still in the tower, in Tony&#39;s chambers. The floor was stained with blood and shit and ejaculate, and the doors were wide open. Thor stood at the entrance with Clint, both stunned silent, and Loki was very much pleased.<br \/><br \/>&quot;You disappeared,&quot; Thor started, pointing outward and down with Mjolnir, &quot;and then there were...sounds. We came...&quot;<br \/><br \/>Clint stopped him, putting one hand to the man&#39;s chest. &quot;Let&#39;s give them a moment,&quot; he said, not quite yet able to look away from the two. &quot;We&#39;ll be in the main hall, when you&#39;re ready.&quot; He put a hand to Thor&#39;s shoulder, turned him, and they left.<br \/><br \/>Loki listened to the silence stretch between Bruce and Tony, saw Tony wince and curl suddenly with the pain of it all. The damage, he knew, was not irreparable, but the seeds of doubt and fear had been planted, and Bruce was horrified, torn, unable to reach out and comfort his friend, his victim. Loki knew they would not again be as they were before, and Bruce - that dear, horrible man-beast - had new nightmares to consider, of himself, and his capacity for wrath.<br \/><br \/>It was enough. For now. Loki left them, in need and pain and hunger, and knew the third game would soon follow.<br \/><a name='cutid1-end'><\/a>"},{"id":"urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:saltwriting:3607","link":[{"@attributes":{"rel":"alternate","type":"text\/html","href":"https:\/\/saltwriting.livejournal.com\/3607.html"}},{"@attributes":{"rel":"self","type":"text\/xml","href":"https:\/\/saltwriting.livejournal.com\/data\/atom\/?itemid=3607"}}],"title":"PROMPT FIC:  The Choice: Bruce\/Tony, Near Miss (WARNING for Suicide Attempt and Depression)","published":"2012-07-31T22:01:36Z","updated":"2012-07-31T22:01:36Z","category":[{"@attributes":{"term":"pairing: tony&amp;bruce"}},{"@attributes":{"term":"pairing: bruce\/loki"}},{"@attributes":{"term":"character: bruce banner\/hulk"}},{"@attributes":{"term":"rating: teen"}},{"@attributes":{"term":"character: tony stark\/iron man"}},{"@attributes":{"term":"fandom: avengers"}},{"@attributes":{"term":"fanworks: fanfic"}}],"content":"<b>Title:<\/b>&nbsp;The Choice<br \/><b>Author:<\/b>&nbsp;saltwriting (aka s_alt)<br \/><b>Characters\/Pairing:<\/b>&nbsp;Bruce Banner &amp;Tony Stark,&nbsp;<br \/><b>Rating:<\/b>&nbsp; Teen and Up<br \/><b>Word Count:<\/b>&nbsp;3,547<br \/><b>Disclaimer:<\/b>&nbsp;I don&#39;t make any money off this.<br \/><b>Warnings:<\/b>&nbsp;suicidal thoughts, suicide attempt.<br \/><div><br \/>Inspired by <a href=\"http:\/\/avengerkink.livejournal.com\/7940.html?thread=15757316#t15757316\" target=\"_blank\">this prompt<\/a> on anvgerkink<br \/><br \/><b>SUMMARY<\/b><br \/><blockquote class=\"\" title=\"summary\"><p><em>No one else was willing to see this for what it was.

Of course, there's the general hotness of it, seeing men going mad with abandon, but there's two other big elements that do it for me. <br \/><br \/>First is the fact that it's there - hidden in the shows, just effin' waiting to be found and fed.  Watch, for example, how Tony looks at Bruce while he walks behind him and shocks him - if that isn't checking someone out, I don't know what is.  And Bruce likes it; he smiles, and sees.  So it's like the writers are daring us to see this, as writers have been in Hollywood for decades. <br \/><br \/>And then, there's the fact that it's forbidden.  How many man-on-man moments are there in cinema?  And how many are even close to the reality of it?  The reality is raw and brutal and effin' nasty, often, as sex can be, and we never see that shit. I want to see it - and, as a person who can literally never experience myself (being female), the closest thing I have to experiencing is writing or reading it.<br \/><br \/>So there's a start on why I think slash works for women.
