Obedience

Let's play master and servant

this one pretty much speaks for itself. thesis statement for their D/s arrangement, really

I see you left a mark / Up and down my skin, skin, skin / I don't know where I end / And where you begin

Rizeth, leave marks on that boy I'm begging you. He looks so good covered in bruises and bitemarks.

When I touch you and I taste you I only want to be inside / Reaction and release / There’s something that’s stirring deep in me

these boys cannot get enough of each other. never mind who fell first or harder; they've been fucking each other silly from day one.

On your knees, who do you please?

just ignore the half of the song that's about murder, focus on the part that's about submission and wanting to be hurt and destroyed in bed the way Ashenivir enjoys.

(Help me) You tear down my reason / (Help me) It's your sex I can smell / (Help me) You make me perfect / Help me become somebody else

hey, so, you know how Ashenivir feels the most like himself when he's on his knees/submitting? yeah. that. (also they do both want to fuck crazy nasty just like. all the time)

Please, please, please don't take it / Take it, take it, take it easy on me, just make it / Make it, make it, make it harder to breathe

Ashenivir doesn't want to be treated nicely, he wants the kind of hurt and control that comes from actually submitting. It's why Rizeth owns his entire brain and also his heart. He doesn't want a hand stroking his neck, he wants a fist wrapped around it.

Desire, I'm hungry / I hope you feed me

I use hunger as a metaphor for desire all through Obedience. Ashenivir is starving constantly. Fortunately he has a very giving Master who enjoys feeding him.

And things are not so easy, so cold and we've been burned / I know that I'll have regrets but that's the price of one more lesson learned

if I remember rightly, fox suggested this one, and it is PEAK Rizeth pining. He got burned in the past and uses it as a reason to avoid love in the present. He thinks if he admits his feelings for Ashenivir he'll just get hurt again.

So hold the position / I need your submission

this is simply another song about doing D/s sex. this one's more of a Rizeth/Dom perspective

Hold me up against the wall / Give it 'till I beg, give me some more

this is the Ashenivir perspective for yet another song about Doing Sex. we know what that boy likes, and it's getting railed absolutely raw until his brain stops working.

I don't want anybody else / When I think about you, I touch myself

I'll be real, this isn't a subtle one. It's just that Rizeth has been the subject of Ashenivir's masturbation fantasies for several years and that is not about to change any time soon.

It's why I've arrived, your sex god / Here to take you where / You need to go

another fox recommendation, and it's part 'Rizeth is the one who gives Ashenivir what he actually needs sexually', part 'Rizeth puts up walls to keep everyone away and keep himself safe', and part 'Ashenivir thinks about Rizeth to get off, like. All the time'.

It's just a little crush / Not like I faint every time we touch / It's just some little thing / Not like everything I do / Depends on you

Ashenivir 'I don't have a weird crush on Master Velkon'yss Zauvym' is the worst liar in the Underdark

Touch me, only your hands make me come alive

man, having a crush is kinda hard, isn't it Ashenivir? Real hard to deal with, especially when you're actively sleeping with the man you don't realise you've got feelings for. It's a lot harder for said man, though, cause he's known he loves you for YEARS.

Mercy / When I'm nothing but ego, you slap me to let go and sleep free

this one's more about Shen's submission mentality for me - how it feels for him to slip into subspace, how it makes him feel whole when he's begging for release, bering put on his knees. How he needs to be taken apart to feel complete.

When you smile / The sun resides / In your eyes / It's all too bright for me

I believe this was another fox suggestion and it is ONCE AGAIN PEAK RIZETH. pining over how much he loves Ashenivir's smile (and his everything).

It's a question of lust, it's a question of trust / It's a question of not letting what we've built up crumble to dust

i think this was a tumblr suggestion too. it might have been fox again, honestly. he's very good at nailing Obedience songs - this one being extremely so cause I literally titled the second half of Arc 4 A Question of Trust, and that part is very much this line. Also parts of Arc 3.

Oh God don't let this be wrong / Oh I've got too much invested in this for it to be wrong

This is Rizeth pining AGAIN. He's gone and got his heart invested against his better judgement and if he fucks it up it's going to hurt like hell.

Looking at you, holding my breath / For once in my life, I'm scared to death / I'm taking a chance, letting you inside

this is Rizeth taking a chance on their relationship, even though doing so scares the shit out of him.

Strange what desire / Will make foolish people do

sad romance time. Rizeth feels like he's being reckless and foolish for having feelings, but denial only goes so far.

instrumental

I feel like I'm falling for you / But I'm scared to let go / I'm scared cause my heart has been hurt so

Rizeth still letting his one failed relationship rule his entire life. He's so scared and like. He puts up this untouchable front but there's a very vulerable boy in there who just doesn't want to get hurt again.

So take care what you ask of me / 'Cause I can't say no

one of my top Rizeth songs. for all that he's the Master in the relationship, he's totally devoted to Ashenivir - swept away, hopeless, finally feeling like maybe he does deserve the love of this boy he thinks is so wonderful. And he will do anything for him.

Every inch of your skin / Is a holy grail I've gotta find

yes i put the song from the bad bdsm film on the playlist but listen. LISTEN. it FITS. it's so fucking romantic it feels like a cinematic kiss just to listen to and it makes my heart explode when i think about the boys to this.

I wanna be so far gone in you / So far nothing else will ever do

putting the christian rock band song about loving god on the gay drow d/s playlist is certainly some kind of mood. however, to Me, this is just about how they lose themselve in each other to find what they need.

Take my hand / Take my whole life, too / For I can't help / Falling in love with you

i am a romantic sap about these boys, okay. that's it that's the reason this is here and why it plays at the wedding i imagine for them on a regular basis and have been imagining for years

Heaven’s where I lie with you / It’s been this way / Since you said you loved me

do you know how often i simply picture them lying in bed, smiling at each other? do you know how insane i am about that concept?
