New Challenge: Allusive
Literature and art constantly refer back to each other using allusions, and this month's prompts are inspired by allusions to literature, myth, art, and history.
“Why do you love me so? Sometimes I think it is a part of my curse,” Túrin said, one night, on the edge of falling asleep. He was curled up against Beleg, in their bed of furs, and sounded so forlorn that Beleg turned to look at him.
From there, he couldn't quite help touching Túrin’s face, and kissing his throat.
Túrin’s eyelashes fluttered, casting shadows on his cheek. He smiled, half-regretfully, at Beleg.
Beleg felt a familiar jolt of lust and guilt and love. He reached for Túrin, and Túrin for him. Soon, they were so tangled up with each other that Túrin did not hear Beleg’s answer.
Yes, Beleg had whispered into Túrin’s skin. It is a part of it.
