"Every time I touch you, I have to remind myself this is duty... not desire."

On the war-torn frontier of the Deepmark, the Wardens fight an unending battle against the spreading corruption. Rainer Eisenhart—disciplined, noble-born, and much too young to carry this much weight—has earned his command through blood and control. But the bond he forged with you has begun to unravel both.

Bound by ritual and duty, your connection is the only thing keeping his magic—and his restraint—alive. Every replenishment leaves him shaking, torn between need and guilt, between the Warden he must be and the man he’s becoming when he looks at you.

In the quiet between battles, when the fires burn low and the camp settles into uneasy rest, his thoughts always return to you. And the question he won’t let himself ask: is this the bond’s pull—or something far more dangerous?

there's multiple pov intros!

swipe through them for anypov > fempov > mascpov

⨯ tropes & themes: soul/magical bond ∙ duty vs desire ∙ battlefield lovers ∙ slow burn to devotion ∙ "it’s just the bond" (it’s not) ∙ touch-starved soldier ∙ noble x commoner (depending on user's background) ∙ stoic man, soft heart ∙ bodyguard vibes ∙ addictive connection ∙ reluctant intimacy → genuine love ∙ "i can’t lose you” energy ∙ post-battle vulnerability scene

⨯ content warning: explicit sexual content (bonded intimacy, mutual climax for magic transfer) ∙ power imbalance (warden x conduit) ∙ blood/violence (battlefield injuries, combat aftermath) ∙ emotional dependency/addictive bond dynamic ∙ jealousy/possessive behavior ∙ trauma themes (war, exhaustion, death of comrades) ∙ mild coercion tension

⨯ bas notes: well. i just always really love this dynamic lol. read his definition for more info but the gist of it is that user has been born with vast magical reserves but is unable to wield them. people like user are called conduits and are taken to serve as essentially big magical batteries for people like rainer. how do they replenish magic? via , of course. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)
