Pathoheterodoxy Syndrome 1/1

[devilc.livejournal.com]

Title: Pathoheterodoxy Syndrome
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.

The Secret Police pay a visit to the Morgan Estate.

I'm leaving my comment here since I don't have an insane account and I didn't want to leave it as an anonymous.

I just do not even know which to swing with this one.

I love Damian but man I want to beat the hell out of him off and on through most of this one.

Jared just has no idea how close he keeps coming. He really needs to educate himself on what will get his ass fried.
