I keep on thinking about Elias letting Peter dom one (1) time and he criticises Peter’s ability to tie knots because he never actually does shit on his ship so they’re really uncomfortable knots, and Peter gets offended and leaves him tied up on the floor of his bedroom. And Elias just sits there struggling to free himself with Kill Bill sirens going off in his head.
How Peter refers to Simon

How Peter refers to Elias.
How much disdain he has for Elias is just hilarious.
Simon meeting Peter like
I wish there was more fic or meta that explored the issues Peter would have with intimacy.
We’re talking about a guy who was likely never held as a baby, who grew up devoid of anything but perfunctory physical touch, and whose family treats intimacy as repulsive and sex as an obligation to propagate the family line. Simon references the fact he favours wagers because he doesn’t want to risk ‘any sort of intimacy’ and Peter talks about connecting with people like it’s utterly repellent.
This would be interesting to explore, especially in regard to his dynamic with Elias! Like, how does intimacy eventually happen between them? How do they navigate it? What are their thoughts during the act? Does Peter ever initiate despite his issues? How would his family react to finding out? Would they try to get him into an arranged marriage to conceive children?
Idk, I find this aspect of his character interesting and I’d really love to see it come up more. If anyone happens to have fic or meta recs, feel free to send them my way!
