Rated E. Cis M/M. Set in 1950s London.

An ex-soldier, Arthur “Kuhn” Conrad, now a debt collector of sorts for a corrupt company, can’t sleep one night, and as he’s walking the streets, sees a coworker — on a whim, he follows, and ends up in an underground club. The older man, Ignatius Kasovitz, likes to tie people up, it seems, and Kuhn finds he wants to try being tied up, if it’s Kasovitz doing the tying.

CWs in this part for some references to sexual trauma and sensory overwhelm, death, violence, but nothing extensive. This is part II of III.

New note I’ve been thinking of including — media I’m engaging with at the moment that have added to the themes and flavour of this short are Grantchester, Disco Elysium, and the_ragnarok’s Person of Interest fanfiction, out of the darkness we reach.

Part I / / Part II / / Part III

Kuhn’s boarding house is an alright place. It’s clean and pretty well-kept, all-told — no mould, no damp, no rats or other vermin. It’s not a hoity-toity place by any means, but he knows it’s a lot better than a lot of places around the city, and it’s honestly not too expensive. It’s not like Kuhn spends much money — most of what he makes goes into his savings.
