picked up @neil-gaiman’s Neverwhere a while back and wow. wow I’m enjoying it so much!! The dry humor and Richard’s worsening life is a treat to experience. have this quick character sheet!!

(Also Mr. Gaiman really out here exploiting my love for pathetic, sad father-figures to orphaned young girls. Richard Mayhew, my beloved, he didn’t deserve anything that happened to him <3)

Chapters: 1/2

Fandom: Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman

Ratings: Explicit

Relationships: Marquis de Carabas/Richard Mayhew

Characters: Marquis de Carabas (Neverwhere), Richard Mayhew, Door (Neverwhere), Hunter (Neverwhere)

Additional Tags: Richard's Gay Awakening, Canon Compliant, Richard learns he's gay AND kinky, Dom/sub, Fingering, Anal Sex, if this was in the marquis's pov it would just be him salivating, no beta we die like hunter

Summary:

Richard Mayhew would like to go on record and say that he is 100% straight, thank you very much.

In all his years, he has never once felt an inkling of desire for any man he has ever met. Sometimes he stared at Leonardo DiCaprio’s face a little longer than he thought he should, and perhaps he was a little too interested in Brad Pitt’s personal life than most men, but never once has he felt that way about any man he’s ever actually talked to.

So, it’s a little bit surprising that he’s almost half-hard watching the Marquis de Carabas threaten the woman who just kissed him.

(Or: Richard has his gay awakening.)

Blood touched hands busied themselves with a dampened cloth as Richard wiped the skin of his palms and fingertips clean of Her injuries. She had lost a lot taking that shot, but the agent was certain that his patchwork would hold and give her time to recuperate, that is, if She didn't allow herself to calm down first. 9 didn't flinch at the other agent's sharpened words. Not even a twitch. Shock, he thought to himself. He could imagine that such panic-induced speech and state was the initial result of shock... and painkillers... and perhaps, seeing the man who had been acting as your competitor, at best, sitting close by as the first sight when you wake up from a deepened slumber. "Shhh... Calm down. Ye' need to calm down, 10" he tut, continuing to sit near Adelia's bedside; his steady, blue gaze not shying away for a moment as he glanced over her injuries. The stitches were holding. Thank god. "Look, I get it, yer' upset. Yer' in shock. I'm the last person ye' wanted to see, but I'm all you've got righ' now." Richard had been, since he personally dragged her unconscious body to the protected embrace of the safe house. "I need ye' to calm down and breathe, 10, I don't want yer' stitches comin' undone. Breathe. We're safe here. Yer' safe. Breathe..."

Propping himself up off his seat, he made his way to the nearby sink to fill up a glass of water. "I didn't kill ye' 'cause ye' and I are both on the same sinkin' ship," he explained, making his way back to 10's bedside before handing her the glass. An olive branch. "Ye' and I were both sent there under the 'guise of another mission. Wha' we go' instead was an ambush.--Now, I have no fuckin' idea wha's goin' on, but all I know is tha' somebody is desperate for both our heads tha' they hired bloo'y snipers to take us out." "How're ye' feelin', by the way?" Richard realized he hadn't asked since Adelia woke up. "Ye' were out for some time."

==========================

As she is shushed, Adelia’s expression is one of instant annoyance, like a chastised child, but she holds her tongue; eager to hear the agent explain himself.

“I’m not in shock!” She blusters, though it is clear from Richard’s expression that he doesn’t believe a word of it and as she is beckoned to try to stay calm and breathe, she finds herself, against her better judgement, questioning whether he might be right. In truth, she hates it; hates the idea what the wound she sustained was so severe, that someone got the upper hand and if it hadn’t been for 9’s quick actions, she’d very likely be dead right now.

Accepting the glass of water, she sips from it, grimacing as her dry throat aches before being immediately soothed. Listening to him explain it, it seems so obvious now; it was a set up - SPECTRE wants her dead – wants them both dead in fact. She knew the day would eventually come, though admittedly she never imagined it would be this soon. She may have been executing their orders expertly over the last few years, but that doesn’t mean she’s been entirely loyal. Since the murder of her handler, she’s been plotting the organisations’ downfall and the assassination of Blofeld himself, who once referred to her as being like a daughter – fitting when your aim is patricide.

“They know.” She states quietly and solemnly – it’s a terrifying thought and suddenly she feels utterly abandoned and alone. If they know, they will hunt her to the very ends of the Earth. They won’t give up until she is captured, interrogated, tortured and killed, that, after all, is Blofeld’s way – he doesn’t tolerate betrayal of any kind.

“I’m okay…” She lies, the tone of her voice betraying her fear. “I’m…” Staring at Richard, she knows it is truly time to decide – either she kills him or chooses to trust him and in doing so condemn him with knowledge she knows he shouldn’t possess. Glancing at her bandaged up wound and taking in the concerned look on 9’s face, she quickly ascertains that 9 is the only true ally she has; she’d be a fool not to trust him right now. She is so weak she can barely stand.

“I’ve been working with British Intelligence.” She admits, not sure if he will believe her. In truth, she hasn’t been quite working in the interests of either side, but working for herself by betraying both. Adelia holds no allegiances to anyone but herself, but she now suspects that may need to change.

“I’ve been acting as a double agent 9 and if he knows, my God, if Blofeld knows, we’re both dead.” There is a quiver in her voice, one that clearly conveys how frightening a thought that actually is. “Richard…” She whispers softly, reaching for him, desperate for him to believe her, desperate for him to understand these dire circumstances. She is a daughter of SPECTRE, she can never leave, unless in a body bag.

“Richard, I’m scared.”

In the most conversation tones he could muster, he said, "Now would be a very bad time to discover that one was claustrophobic, wouldn't it?" "Yes," said Door. "Then I won't," said Richard

so i finished reading neverwhere yesterday and first of all i loved it. I loved the fact that Richard was just some normal guy who just stumbled into this world through basically being a decent human being and not letting a poor girl die on the streets, but he still kinda stayed a regular guy throughout the book even after everything that happened (even with his big titles ect) I love how he just learnt to accept things around him and how even though he had so many questions, overtime he accepted the fact he probably wouldn’t get answers or ones that he could understand fully and that was ok. I think the more I think on the book, the more points i can pull out about how u can relate it to certain parts of real life, but i just dont have the words to explain my thought pattern just yet. When I do i’ll probably write about it here.
