Worthy (A The Coming Storm Alternate Universe)
Summary
An alternate universe of The Coming Storm. Same characters, different world, totally separate story. My brain worms for my own work are so bad, I wrote myself fanfiction. Yep.
Injured while tracking a pack of mindless, bloodthirsty ghouls, monster hunter Emrys is rescued by the godkin Archimedes and taken back to his manor home to recover. As he heals, Emrys finds himself falling for not only Archimedes but for Archimedes's partner, the magician Aesind. While it's true that Archimedes is expected to take a second mate, Emrys is a lowly commoner -- not at all worthy of a godkin lord or a powerful magician. As the three grow closer despite a regular rotation of noble suitors coming to call, the threat of ongoing, intensifying ghoul attacks on settlements in Archimedes's territory looms over them all.
Will love conquer all, or will clashing politics and past abuses wreak havoc on this budding relationship before it even has a chance to bloom?
