Bound

Summary:

Why does James have tickets to Fallen: a meditation on the postlapsarian female gender identity? What would be the draw for him?

Notes:

This has been banging around in my head for a couple of weeks and I had to get it out.
Not beta'd, all errors are mine.

Disclaimer: Don't own them. just playing, promise to put them back.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:



 "Opens this week... I've got tickets."

Maybe you think torture and bondage are “beyond the ken of a nice theology student” like myself; you’re wrong. 

I know your history; that you were in Vice.  You came through that filth better than many; grounded by Val and the children, you were partially cleansed each time you went home.  Even if you didn't realise it then.

I was never earthed, nor earthy, but I have been bound.

Bound by my childhood.
Bound by my faith.
Tortured by my memories.
Bound by my duty as a police officer.
Now, bound, bonded to you.

Notes:

End notes: In Whom The Gods Would Destroy, while discussing the “Sons of the Twice Born” and drug use, Lewis says to Hathaway “Drugs was there big thing; might be some pretty embarrassing moments coming between them – stuff that’s way beyond the ken of a nice theology student like yourself.”
