Ah, god, these are gorgeous. Simply gorgeous. The shibari binding is such an interesting technique... I tried to read about it, but I couldn't find a good site that could explain how it developed as an art form.
And while it's true that you've made Fai godawfully flexible and beautiful (ESPECIALLY THAT "SUSPENDED" PIC, HOLY /SHIT/) I think it's picture #3 that is the most striking. There's something about how large and muscled he is... the bindings bring him into a posture of submission and beauty that he'd never otherwise achieve. But by knowing the character and looking at the facial expression you gave him, I just feel like he's thinking "submissive, my sculpted ass" and that inherent rebelliousness just make the drawing even MORE powerful and striking.
...and now I feel stupid. So I'll finish by saying how feckin' adorable it is that Fai looks so happy in the last one.
