Worthy (A The Coming Storm AU)

Story Details

Summary: 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?

This is a self-indulgent "novel" in progress. This is basically fanfiction of my own unpublished work. Nothing found here is canon to the actual story. I just have brain worms and love these characters too much to put them down. Consider this me picking them up like Barbies and smashing them together. It's fun!

Worthy is a stand-alone work of indeterminate length. I started writing it to take breaks during the [redacted for abuse of minors and subsequent AI scandal] writing challenge, and it sort of spiralled out of control. Now it's its own thing, I guess.

This work contains explicit adult content. I wrote this as a literal smutfest. There is so much sex in here. It's kinky. I wrote it for me and myself and literally no one else.

I've decided to publish it in pieces just for funsies, because I want to. I may leave it up forever, I may abandon it, I may delete it. Dunno. Enjoy it while it's here, I guess?
