free short story!
Oh! I have a little free short story (1.5k) up today over at the RoMMantic Reads webzine!
It's a historical, m/m, in Roman Britain...and, well, here's Fiona's intro, because it makes me smile about my own words: "Most of our stories so far have been quite short, but here’s a slightly longer one for a change. ‘Victories’ is a sweeping, beautifully lyrical tale set in Roman Britain, featuring a Roman commander and the native British leader who’s asked to meet him…"
Or, basically: two men who should be on opposite sides but went from mutual respect to "oh hey we're having sex in this ruined tower-fort" pretty quickly...and now there's the moment after...
Come read for free here!
(On a more personal note, yep, the 'they' pronoun in the intro is deliberate...kinda testing that out; I don't mind 'she', I'm used to it, that's still good, but I've also never felt particularly feminine, and I've had she/they in the twitter etc bios for a while, so, we'll see...)

Victories
Re: Victories
The language is messy and too modern, but then again if AJ Demas can do it - and so beautifully - then so can I, right? The emotions are right, I think: the heartache, on both sides, and the need to come together, when the alternative is being so alone. And perhaps they might change this tiny piece of the world, together...
(apologies for any typos; new laptop; liberated from Awesome Husband's lab as "no longer needed" and replacing mine which decided my o, i, and p keys no longer needed to work, but I am presently getting used to this new laptop!)
