"This would be perhaps the trickiest thing the drow had ever attempted, even given his years of serving fickle and volatile Matron Mothers. And it would be delicious." Jarlaxle/Artemis
comment
"<p> 'Control' is a remarkably IC piece of Jarlaxle/Artemis slash; it manages to give us the intimacies between them, without neglecting the wariness and clever side-stepping the characters canonically have.</p><p> They were always going to have power issues - it's who they <em>are.</em> But the writer manages to give us those, without taking a dip into anything nonconsensual - quite a feat to navigate the consent issues and deliver a story like this.</p><p> 'Control' is, by turns, clever, thoughtful, and sexy, with a hint of sweetness - but never enough to be cloying or out of character.</p>"
