Author's Note

This was the original ending of What Comes Between Day and Night, my R63 Prince-cest threesome clopfic. I wrote it this way because I really do like Artemis and Solaris as lovers, and I wanted them interacting, but later on I changed my mind, deciding that I could always come back to the two of them later, but that in a story about Dusk admitting he loves both of them, he should probably also fuck both of them. But I do still like this version too, so here it is!

Between Day and Night

...For a long moment they both just lay there, panting hard. Eventually Solaris lifted his head to nuzzle at Dusk. “You are amazing,” said Solaris in his ear, still breathing a bit faster than normal.

A little shiver of pleasure went through Dusk at that. Solaris thought he was amazing. He smiled over his shoulder at Solaris, feeling wonderfully content. This was better than his fantasies.

A soft chuckle drew both stallions' attention to the bed, where Artemis was sitting with his feet dangling over the side, grinning at them. “Have fun?”

“Oh yeah,” said Dusk.

“Very much so,” said Solaris. “Though when I've caught my breath again I think it's going to be your turn. I'm sure Dusk will be happy to help me reduce you to incoherent moaning and writhing.”

Dusk giggled. “Very happy. Mmm.”

There was a long, very contented silence.

It was broken eventually by Dusk. “Uh, Solaris?”

“Mmm?”

“You're kind of heavy.”

“Oh!” Solaris climbed off of Dusk, who was glad to be able to breathe properly again. He hadn't minded being pinned under Solaris, but breathing was sort of a necessity, and the huge stallion was anything but light.

Artemis laughed again, and Solaris turned around, grinning broadly at his brother. "Something funny?"

Artemis just grinned more, then let out a startled yelp when Solaris tackled him back onto the bed. The pair rolled around on the bed, putting the already disordered bedding even more askew. Dusk licked his lips. Seeing the two of them together, light against dark, was getting him turned on all over again. They wrestled laughingly for a few minutes before ending up with Solaris straddling Artemis, still grinning broadly as he pinned the slightly smaller stallion down. Artemis looked up at him and smiled too, but Dusk thought he caught a hint of bitterness in the smile. "You win," said Artemis softly. "As always."

"No, you are going to win," said Artemis firmly. "Because I'm going to make certain you cum, nice and hard. It wouldn't be fair to stop, leaving you unsatisfied." Then he wiggled his eyebrows outrageously and added, "Besides, I should show Dusk a few things about your... preferences."

"Oh stars," groaned Artemis. "Must you?"

"You know you like it." Solaris' grin grew broader. Artemis just rolled his eyes.

Dusk picked himself up and turned towards the bed, where Solaris was apparently arranging things to his satisfaction. He was building a little pile of pillows against the headboard, while Artemis watched with an indulgent smile. Solaris' magic grabbed Dusk again, startling a surprised “eep” out of him, and deposited him in a seated position against the pile, like one more pillow. Then Artemis was placed nearly in his lap, making both Dusk and Artemis yelp in surprise this time.

Solaris laughed. “There. Now Dusk, if you would be so kind as to hold on to my brother for me, so he can't squirm too much, that would be delightful!” Dusk wrapped his forelegs around Artemis, who'd been placed facing away from him. Dusk also couldn't help pressing his muzzle to the side of Artemis' neck, nuzzling into the sleek, midnight blue fur and inhaling his scent. It was musky and equine, but with a cool, bright note to it, like the scent of an evening breeze when it was just about to rain. “Mmm.” Dusk half closed his eyes, holding Artemis close. Artemis sighed and leaned back into his embrace.

Dusk heard Artemis' breath suddenly catch. He glanced down to see that Solaris was stretched out beside Artemis, his head bent, and his tongue lapping slowly at Artemis' cock. Artemis moaned. Dusk found that he couldn't look away from the sight of Solaris slowly pleasuring his brother. He licked his lips, staring, feeling his pulse pound faster.

Artemis moaned again and threw his head back against Dusk's shoulder. Dusk tightened his forelegs around Artemis, holding him close, while Solaris continued to lap sensually at Artemis' cock. Artemis started squirming, his hind hooves working against the bed. Solaris chuckled and repositioned himself so he was pinning Artemis's legs down fairly thoroughly. “Hold him still for me, Dusk,” he said, and then lowered his head again, his tongue swirling around the flared tip of Artemis' cock.

Dusk tightened his grip, pinning Artemis' forelegs down from behind, holding him tightly against his chest. Artemis squirmed, as if he were fighting against Dusk's restraint, but he was also moaning loudly with obvious pleasure.

“Ohh...” Dusk felt Artemis jerk in his arms, bucking convulsively as Solaris took his cock into his mouth. Solaris' eyes were closed now and he moved with slow, teasing deliberation as he slid down, taking Artemis deeper. “Oh yes...” Artemis shuddered again, breathing very hard now, and the scent that Dusk had noticed earlier grew stronger, muskier. Solaris didn't seem to mind the way Artemis' squirming was pushing his cock even deeper into his throat, he just kept going down until he'd taken it all. Then he started to work back and forth, and Artemis squirmed even harder, to the point where Dusk had to use magic to help him keep Artemis pinned. However much he'd grown in recent years, he was still the smallest of the three, and not exactly an athlete.

Solaris continued to work steadily back and forth, bobbing his head on Artemis' cock. Artemis moaned wordlessly, still fighting and squirming as the other two alicorns pinned him down. His hips were bucking, as much as they could anyway, in time to Solaris' motion. His head was arched back, pressed to Dusk's shoulder, his eyes tightly shut, his mouth open as he moaned and panted. He started to whimper, a sound of desperate, passionate, need.

Solaris simply continued his slow, steady motion. Artemis struggled harder, his hooves pressing into the bed, his head pushing harder on Dusk's shoulder as his whole body arched. Dusk had to strengthen his magic further, Artemis was very strong.

“Ahh... Faust, I'm so close. Solaris, you bastard,” panted Artemis.

Solaris stopped and looked up, grinning. “If I'm a bastard, so are you,” he said.

Artemis whimpered in frustration. “Damn it, Solaris! Please!”

“Well, since you ask so nicely.” Suddenly his horn lit, even as he lowered his head again and took Artemis' cock back into his mouth.

“Ah! Yesss!” Artemis arched again, tensed and shuddering, and Dusk could imagine exactly where Solaris must be applying magical force. Solaris was working up and down quite rapidly on Artemis' cock now, and Artemis' head rolled back and forth on Dusk's shoulder as he writhed with pleasure. “Ah yes! Ah! AH!!!” With that final cry he gave one more convulsive, bucking shudder and came.

Solaris stopped bobbing his head but he didn't pull back, he stayed there, holding Artemis' cock in his mouth while it twitched and pulsed and shot cum onto his tongue. At last Artemis went limp in Dusk's arms. Solaris finally lifted his head then, swallowing as he did.

“You are terrible,” murmured Artemis, still panting. Dusk relaxed his grip slowly, dismissing the magic he'd been using to keep Artemis pinned.

Solaris laughed. “Come on, admit you like it!”

Artemis chuckled, not even bothering to lift his head from Dusk's shoulder as he replied, “Maybe.” After a pause he added, “And truly it is much nicer to have you tease me again than to have you walking on pins and needles, worried that I'll turn to darkness again at the drop of a hat.”

“Ah...”

“Don't deny it, brother, that's just what you were like for the first couple of years.”

“Well...”

Artemis laughed. “I don't blame you. But this is better.” He half opened his eyes and gave Dusk's cheek a little nuzzle. “Much better.”

“I could get used to it,” said Dusk.

Solaris smiled up at the other two, still lying draped across Artemis' legs. “So could I.”
