The Point Between Smoke & Sublimity For @leuralo.bsky.social who told me to write about something I love 🩷 🎩 Hist.Fiction AU (1800s) 😅 145k words 😘 Rated M Features: yearning, trains, poetry, Beethoven, and more! 🔗 below My contribution to the 2026 Bokuaka exchange ☺️ @bokuakaevents.bsky.social

The Point Between Smoke & Sublimity
A Bokuto x Akaashi Historical Fiction AU Based on Pride & Prejudice and Call Me by Your Name

The Point Between Smoke & Sublimity by belmaricar4
When 20-year-old Koutarou, a young gentleman from the industrial hub of England, is invited to work on the estate of Mr. Shin Akaashi, one of the richest men in the country, he does not expect to fall in love with his employer's son, especially after finding him so unpleasant during their first interaction at a local ball.

When 19-year-old Keiji returns to England after two years spent abroad, he thinks he has resigned himself to a life of suffocating civilities and public pressure as the heir to his family's massive fortune. But his father has something else in mind for their future, and Keiji finds himself immediately drawn to the carefree young man now living in his house.

Keiji and Koutarou experience a short, intense summer romance that they know is doomed. But that knowledge doesn't hold them back.

Written for the Bokuaka Exchange 2026 and inspired by my two favorite movies, Pride and Prejudice and Call Me By Your Name

Taking a break from frantically writing to share a preview of my bkak exchange piece! Get ready for regency era Bokuaka fam! @bokuakaevents.bsky.social

“Come on,” Koutarou said, “let’s swim.

Keiji turned to look at him. “Swim?”

“Yes, swim. We’re at the river on a hot day.” Koutarou unlaced his boots and kicked them off with his stockings. He stood and pulled his white linen shirt out of his trousers and over his head.

Keiji stared. After months of longing, there he was. It would be so easy to reach out and touch. No one was around. He could pull Koutarou down on top of him and answer every question about his body his depraved mind had.

But he only sat, frozen on the ground.

“What’s wrong?" Koutarou frowned. "Don’t want to?”

Of course Keiji wanted to. He could be naked with Koutarou. Move his body in front of him, put everything he offered on display for Koutarou to decide if he wanted to take it or not. Keiji would lie on the grass or in the river itself and cling to Koutarou’s body while he went inside of him. Koutarou would promise to be gentle, because that was who he was, and Keiji would look at him and say, hurt me as much as you want.

“Do you want to swim with me?” Keiji’s voice was small, but there was a challenge in his gaze. And the way Koutarou closed his eyes and squeezed his face like he was in pain told Keiji he also understood that they weren’t really talking about swimming.

“No…” The word came out as a long sigh pulled from his gut. “You’re right. We should get back.”

Without waiting for Keiji’s response, he bent and gathered his discarded clothing. Keiji remained silent and still, staring at the ground while Koutarou dressed himself and walked back into the woods without a word.

When Keiji joined him by the horses, Koutarou passed him the reins with a smile. “Thank you for coming with me,” he said.

Keiji smiled back. He knew he should be disappointed. But Koutarou was a poor liar.

Yes to all of the above lololol ✅ The 22 page term paper I wrote in six hours after forgetting to bring all my notes home over fall break: 👀

Image says "people who waited until the last minute to write an essay and then just word vomited onto the paper and turned it in unedited and still got top grades, are you diagnosed with ADHD and neurodivergent now? Or are you a writer(out both)?"
