A different take on #coldplay with the subject being frozen and the subject to a vacuum to sublimate the water out of his body, leaving an intact but desiccated statue. This is a commission by @insanerator.bsky.social for me. #maleASFR #gayASFR #asfr #male #nude #FreezeDry #desiccate (1/2)

β€œSit down, now.” My body reacted on its own and did as she asked. β€œClose your eyes and empty your mind. Channeling the void takes immense focus. Just relax and breathe.”

I opened my mouth to protest but thought better of it. Instead, I closed my eyes and took several deep breaths, trying to calm my mind and my nerves. I had spent years perfecting my meditations, and this was no different. Although, I was fairly certain I was going to be murdered by a crazy woman, but otherwise, it was the same as every other time I had meditated.

Slowly, my thoughts slipped away, along with any tension my body was holding onto. I focused on the rise and fall of my chest as I breathed in the incense. Nothing else existed for me but this moment.

A light touch caressed my neck, and my body shivered violently. I caught flashes of midnight flesh and gentle breathing. Kasami’s face flooded my vision for a brief second before being engulfed in flames. I cried out in horror, reaching for her.

I looked at the small boy again. He was shaking where he remained on the post. This time it was out of fear. He knew that if I gave in he would die. I gathered all my resolve and pressed myself into Leif. The guard before me was a mix of confusion and horror. This was not something that he wanted to do. I loved him a little in that moment. 
β€œDo it.” I commanded. Still, he hesitated.
β€œDo it!” Jaicyn’s shrill voice rebounded around the room.
It was all the prompting he needed. 
The first blow landed like a cannon ball to my stomach, driving the air from my lungs. His fists landed over and over, raining down on my body, my face. I felt the moment my lower lip split, blood gushing down my face; the instant when my right eye socket cracked. Leif’s arms remained tight around mine, pinning me against him. After a while, his body was the only thing keeping mine on my feet.

3: "Fear" appears many times in Desiccate, but this is probably one of my favorite times. Cambria goes through some shit, ya'll πŸ˜…πŸ˜…

12: I think Cambria, deep down, would like to fight her fate. She knew from early on her life would be dangerous and tried to hide, but that didn't work. Being who she is, she forges ahead to try and save the world, even if it will kill her.

A hand grabbed my arm and spun me around. Lucan stood before me, a pained look in his eyes. β€œYou shouldn’t have come here.”

β€œYou can see me?” I gaped at him. 

β€œI can always see you, my queen.” His hands came up to hold my face, and he kissed me hard. It shouldn’t have been possible. He shouldn’t be able to do this. As quickly as his lips found mine, they were gone. 

β€œWe will be in Nesuria in a month’s time. Jaicyn has almost found a way to cross the Waste Lands. You must tell Soleth about what you saw here. Go, now.”

β€œPlease, let me stay.” I reached out to touch the side of his face, but he took my hand in his and kissed my knuckles, shaking his head.

Probably one of my more favorite scenes from Desiccate, inspired by *that* Doctor Who scene.

Keep an eye out, Desiccate will be out June 2026!

His face lit up and then returned to seriousness. β€œAre you sure about this? I don’t want you to feel—”

I held my fingers against his lips. Those were almost the same words Kasami had used, and it brought a warm smile to my face. I could feel him stirring beneath me and knew that he was ready. I ground against him and a moan escaped his lips.

 β€œNo one makes me do anything against my will. Is that a good enough answer for you?”

 Lucan nodded against my fingers, and I pushed him back onto the bed, committing every second to memory.
