This still doesn’t get us quite to the smut, but we’re enroute.

chapter 10, on AO3 https://archiveofourown.org/works/28876890/chapters/73641267

In previous chapters Aiden’s noticed he can press some of Keira’s buttons to get entertaining results: here, Keira is starting to explore what buttons she can press in return, and they’re mostly about emotional manipulation.

Lambert had hauled himself out of the water and was wrapped in his beautiful robe, standing at her elbow and watching her work. “Will it scar, doctor?” he asked, mock-serious, when she turned her head a little to acknowledge him.

“No, ma’am,” she said, smiling slightly, “your husband’s beauty will be no more marred than it already is.”

Lambert’s gaze went funny and indirect; he really liked the word husband, but obviously would never have thought to use it for himself. A quick glance at Aiden confirmed he’d gone very slightly pink in the cheeks and was studiously looking away; he liked it too and was trying not to let on. She laughed at them, though she was a bit startled to realize how fond the sound was when it came out.

“You two are precious,” she said. “Here, Aiden, I got you a robe, put that on and let’s go back to the real world.”

I was really dying to have her say you guys are so gay right there but the limitations of the genre constrained me.

Rest assured that in the modern a/u of this [which only exists for this headcanon purpose] she has so much fun teasing them like a middle-schooler that at one point a well-meaning busybody bystander scolded her for her homophobia, to their wild entertainment, and only Aiden was nice enough to tell the busybody that it was all consensual.

Also, fuck, I really want to write an indulgent epilogue where everyone’s in exquisite lingerie, and commission fanart of it, and I’m just– listen, we know Lambert’s into lace but would Aiden be in velvet or leather?? (Your picture was not posted)
