2024-11-17 12:44:11 +0000 UTC View PostLucy’s lips were warm. Warm, soft, and sweet. It was all that I could think about as we flew back to the inn. My first kiss, discounting the time I’d brazenly stolen Abigail’s lips during sex. That had been ‘during sex,’ though, so it didn’t quite count. No… as far as my true first kiss went, I’d pledged it and my commitment both to Lucy. Told her that I w...
2024-11-13 00:18:04 +0000 UTC View PostSleep wasn’t exactly easy to come by, that night. It did eventually take me, mind you, but I’ve got no idea when - I mostly just remember tossing and turning and trying real hard not to think too much about my feelings. Not the way I’d normally be handling things, but considering the source of those feelings was sleeping right next to me...

There were looks of shock and confusion, as if people didn’t really know what to make of our presence. There was also a lot more whispering, though, and no matter how much I tried to block it all out, I coul...

I've actually shared this before, but it's been a hot minute and I figure there are patrons who've never combed through the archives for it. Mostly I'm resharing it because it goes so well with chapter 50.... In fact, it's part of what inspired chapter 50, in the wake of chapter 49.

I'm at a bit over 2k on the wordcount for chapter 48, and hoping to get it done by Weds. The next public release will depend on how long it takes me to get 49 and 50 done, since I'd prefer to keep a 2 chapter buffer at a minimum... We'll see. (Worse com...

2024-08-11 22:45:36 +0000 UTC View PostI've been talking with my proofreader, FallingLeaf, and we've hit a bit of an impasse. We've got a title we more or less like, but can't decide on the order of words. (Then my roommate threw in another slight alteration, and I'm even more stuck than before!) So. Thought I'd ask opinions on patreon before coming to a final decision.
2024-08-06 21:00:26 +0000 UTC View PostHaving never been in a monastery before, I had little beyond Jacob’s shallow knowledge to go on when it came to what to expect.
