Body Language
Jun. 19th, 2012 12:12 pmI might have posted this before, but I couldn't find it, so enjoy.
Title: Body Language
Status: Complete
Universe: The Baile (1850’s Caribbean)
Genre: historical, m/m
Content: a beating, a song, rum and ointment, introduction
Length: 1,000 words
Note: Prequel to …A Boy Will Do and Going Pirate (Finn, Ling/Kouji, Lugh, & Jamie)
Liam winced at the smack of cane against flesh. The overseer said the men weren’t cutting the sugar cane fast enough, but really he only beat John to prove his power over them. John —whatever his name had originally been — was new to the plantation, which was enough to draw the bastard’s attention. John was also taller and more muscular than the other black slaves. He could have turned and broken the bastard’s neck, but he must have known that winning this battle meant losing the war.
( a relief from the relentless sun that baked Liam’s very soul )
