something queer going on

What do you do when you've got "tentacles" as one of your Kink Bingo squares, but you've decided you want to write all your KB stories in fandoms that relate to the World Wars? You thank your lucky stars for the canonical magic in Rivers of London.


Title: All Parts There Made One Prisoner
Fandom: Rivers of London
Pairing: Thomas Nightingale/OMC
Rating: Explicit
Word count: 1871
Kink: Tentacles
Content Notes: No standard notes apply. The kink is risky in the context of the story universe, but fully consensual.
Summary: Fear won't make Thomas refuse this.
Notes: I have not yet read Broken Homes, the latest RoL novel, so this story might contradict Nightingale backstory included there. I've reused Desmond Tolhurst, my OMC from Ghosts of Ettersberg, although this story can be read without having read "Ghosts." The title comes from Robert Herrick's The Vine, the earliest example of tentacle kink I know of (warning if you're going to read the poem: it contains rape fantasy).
