Author's Note: Welcome! This is a spin-off story in the Sex Wizards universe featuring a request for Allisande and Margeurite. But don't worry! If you haven't ready Sex Wizards: Initiation, this story should still make sense, though you may miss some of the history and context. All you need to know is that sex in all it's many kinky forms are the somatic components used by wizards to cast spells.
This story takes place about seven months after the events of Initiation conclude. I am still taking requests, so if you have characters or schools(or kinks) you would like to see, leave them in the comments!

If someone told me seven years ago that I would agree to evocation with Allisande, I would have laughed until I bleated. In our early days at the Crux, it would have taken nothing short of a miracle to get me to bow to the spoiled, stubborn, noble-born human that had looked down her nose at me. The idea of the two of us casting together would have been preposterous to the point of laughable.
Yet as I make my way up the winding stairs to Allisande's casting room, I can't help but chuckle at how things have changed. Time's made a fool of us both there. Allis hasn't lost any of those qualities that had made me hate her so much in the beginning - they've simply gotten drowned out by the rest of her. Because Allisande is so much more than my less-than-charitable first impressions.
A year of worrying - wondering -
mourning
the memory of the woman gave me a lot of time to think about our tumultuous early days. The times when we would glare at each other from across the mess hall. When we would take digs until shouting matches broke out. When it got so bad that Arlon had to intervene.
And thank the skies he did, because both of us were just one more incident away from being expelled from the Crux entirely. If he had gone through with it, I never would have gotten the chance to see through my own dislike. I never would have seen the good things in her. Like that drive, that
determination,
and the whip-sharp mind behind it that could make those plans a reality.
I think it was that drive that first won me over to Allis - at least to the point where we could work with each other without descending into verbal sparring matches. Her determination to explore the possibilities of magic fit my own drive like the missing piece of a puzzle. Yet it wasn't until I saw the way she looked at me during those special, quiet moments after a casting that I realized she loved me. It was the second later, when her lips found mine that I realized I loved her back.
I trail my hand over the red stone of the abjuration tower and let out a breath as I reach Allisande's casting room. For a second, I hesitate. I can't bring myself to knock on the door because - dammit, I'm
afraid.
After Allis and I got our abjuration masteries, evocation seemed like the next logical step. The idea of it had always been exciting, especially when I imagined Allis being the one to stand behind me with a flogger, or have me at her mercy under the point of a cane. And I tried my best. I really did. I came to the Crux with the idea of full mastery - the first ovisari to achieve such accolades, but evocation was the school that shattered those hopes.
The second the tress of a flogger hit the wrong spot, or the sting of a crop cracked against my skin, I would shriek a stop at the top of my lungs. No matter what we tried, the reality of the school never lived up to the fantasy I had created in my mind. Yet even after I swallowed my pride, tucked away the thoughts of full mastery and ruled evocation out, Allisande had continued on and flourished. Without me.
It was the first wedge of incompatibilities that would eventually start to drive us apart. We never tried to cast evocation with each other again, and it was like a sore on the surface of our relationship. One that only grew and festered as the jealousy and resentments from our early days returned.
Now, I shove the thought aside. Those days have passed. In the months since the cave, we've put it behind us. It's taken time and tears and effort, but slowly, we learned how to trust each other again. Casting divination has helped both of us heal those old wounds, to reacquaint ourselves with one another.
Allis promised me something different for this attempt, and I trust her. I have to at least try. But skies, my nerves aren't making it easy. My stomach feels like it's full of moths. I know that neither of us want to fail at this - again.
I knock, and when Allis opens the door, I can see that she's just as nervous. Her smile tries to hide it, but even after all this time, I can still read the woman like an open book. Divination has helped with that, too, and it's even easier to do without the silver obscuring her face.
Nerves or no, she takes my hand and pulls me into the casting room. Confidence has always been another of her traits that I admire. Even when she feels uncertain, she doesn't let it dictate her actions. She closes the door behind me before her lips are against mine, pressing me back against the wall. Heat floods me and burns some of the moths away.
"Ready?" Her voice is a gentle purr against my lips.
"I think so," I say with a shiver. "Are you?"
She moves her lips to my jaw, kissing her way under my horn and to my ear. "We're about to find out." Her teeth are gentle as she nips at the sensitive skin of my earlobe, making the tip of my ear give an involuntary little twitch.
Allisande's hands are gentle as they slide my robe off, letting it pool on the ground. Underneath, I made sure to wear something easy to get off and Allisande wastes no time. Warm fingers toy with the straps of my dress before she slides them from my shoulders. The dress slides down my hips and puddles at my feet, leaving me bared to her.
Winter's started in earnest now, and snow gathers outside of the glass panes of the windows. Allisande has a fire roaring in the hearth to warm the room, but I shiver all the same. The red head's face glows in the crackling light, but the look she gives me smoulders.
There's
the caster I recognize. The cave changed her - there was no way it couldn't have. But over half a year after being freed, I see more of her that I recognize instead of the new parts that I don't.
Allisande's hands stroke down my sides, and my skin ripples at the contact. Skies how I missed this. How I missed
