Title: ... In Wolf's Clothing

Character: Josh Homme
Rating: Teen (language and themes)

Author's Note: Written for darkrosetiger, because perhaps Dylan Neal is one of the people milling around at the cocktail party mentioned in this story.


In my previous AKB story, I had a lot of fun making my Bureau of Industry and Security Agents about as vile as possible. But I'm also reminded of how in Babylon 5, the character of Bester, while still a very corrupt and self-serving man did have things/people he cared about and that he also had to deal with some pretty horrific crimes, such as the time he came to B5 to track down a serial killer who had committed the hate-crime murders of several telepaths.

Title: Pathoheterodoxy Syndrome
Fandom: A Kept Boy
Rating: Mature (language and themes)
Characters: Damian Lewis and Josh Homme
Spoilers: Assumes you've read A Kept Boy and kellifer_fic's And Paid For.

Author's Note pt 1: Thanks to Poisontaster and Kellifer_Fic for being so generous and letting me play in the sand box.

For the purposes of this story, Damian Lewis was born in the Empire.

This story was written to explore some ideas I had about what life might be like for the corps of slaves who work for Commerce as well as wondering what sort of secret police the Empire might have. The Bureau of Industry and Security is a division of the Commerce Department created after 9/11. Obviously there's a been a bit of "mission creep" since then and now.

Influences on this story include: James Ellroy's LA Quartet, The Shield, Gorky Park, the Imperial So'jin (from Jordan's Wheel of Time), and there is an out and out homage to Piers Anthony's Bio of a Space Tyrant.

Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction set in a future reality and is not intended as an accurate reflection of the morals and actions of any actual real persons living or dead.
