Sweating with fever, delirious and disorientated, the emperor moaned. Two of the most trusted servants to the empire were there to hold him, their touches burning and setting his flesh ablaze. Yet he could find no reprieve when he attempted to pull away. They had him, and they would have him again until they’d had their fill.

[[ Rictus suffers from episodes of delirium after a fall in battle, leaving the Empire in the hands of his advisors. Vicus his lover and his dearest friend Horatius aren’t on the best of terms however, constantly vying for his attention.
Tormented by these two opposing powers he imagines himself in between them and at their mercy.]]
Edit; had to correct some colors sowwy
I hope you guys like it, I always love painting fold on cloth (And Ric absolutely losing it is a plus too)
If you’ve been following my art for a while you might notice that I’ve already done this background once a long time ago lol, I decided to reuse it bcs I needed a cramped compartment for Ric to lose his marbles in 🥳
Anyways, enjoy!! I already have the next painting planned which will be some more pirate AU were I can properly introduce two new characters 💞💓💕 (they’re not rly new, I’ve just never drawn them for that story before)
