anyway baby prince Jedao would honestly get baby zerxus RIGHT in the tender heart because he's like, alternating between soft and shy and weirdly really sweet, and cold and fierce and his father's attack dog
i feel like zerxus ends up with Jedao's actual gun in his mouth, like, multiple times before Jedao ever takes his pants off and zerxus is insane about it
Zerxus, on the one hand, has been dommed and gun-face-fucked by this guy and rubbed off on his (freshly polished!!! by zerxus!!) riding boots like half a dozen times. on the other hand, he's also swooning like a pining regency lad if he gets a glimpse of wrist
also convenient that when he gets started on things like "doesn't listening to him make you miserable" and "you don't HAVE to keep living like this" there is a very easy way to shut him up
zerxus saddling up tempus and getting to see Jedao Riding Out all cold and determined and then Coming Back bloody (mostly not his) and barely keeping it together
discipline or punishment + glory holes" Jedao "punished" by being ordered to work the glory holebruises or other wounds + sex with clothes still on or partly oncharacter eroticized as a prize + foreplayi feel like this is like half of the general sex that happens with eiffel/jedao/hakkai
