✷ WHO ARE THEY?? ✷
Betony Sylvanis
Betony has always liked a challenge, and Osprey might be his greatest challenge yet. Osprey doesn't respect him, but Betony's used to being underestimated and he's learned to use it to his advantage. He has big plans, after all, grand visions of scientific discoveries that no one believes he's capable of making. But he'll prove them all wrong. He always has. And Osprey's just a fun little diversion along the way... just as long as he doesn't get too attached. What could go wrong?

Osprey Kierkannen
Osprey never should have been a knight in the first place. Now, he doesn't quite know what he is. A rogue, a wanderer, a violent dog on a tight chain. He's abandoned those who needed him most time and time again, and he deserves whatever punishment comes to him. Maybe he even relishes it, maybe he acts out because he craves the retribution, the gloved hand at the end of his leash. That's what Betony's good for, if nothing else.

✷ WHAT IS THEIR DEAL??? ✷
Betony and Osprey are characters from THE HEIR OF ELDIS, an in-progress series. It takes multiple books to figure out what, exactly, is going on between them. Here's a very basic (slightly spoilery) summary, though:
In a far-future spacefaring setting, men of the noble class are served by knights: personal bodyguards, bedroom companions, and sacrificial duelists for their lords' honor. Betony is a noble lord. Osprey is the knight of Betony's cousin, Lilian. Betony's knight, Mylos, was Osprey's former boyfriend at knight school. (A helpful diagram)
Osprey is forced to duel Mylos (to the death). It goes terribly. Everyone is upset.
Due to later plot reasons(🦐), Osprey is separated from Lilian (who is missing/ assumed dead). Betony uses the opportunity to take Osprey as his replacement knight(somewhat forcibly and with dubious legality).
This starts as a fun little game for Betony to revenge-torture Osprey as a distraction from his grief. Osprey, haunted by his own misdeeds and also somewhat of a masochist, gets off on the punishment.
This ends up being weirdly healing for both of them ???? Which is really embarassing. They continue to do cartoon BDSM shit to each other while not quite wanting to deal with their feelings.
Will they confront their feelings? How will it all play out? Who knows 😉
