WALKING WITH DIVINITY is a series of diary and journal entries, information, and personal experiences with divinity. It is written by 3 members of a queer, disabled, plural system; Yarrow, Twig, and Rue, who all follow different religious faiths, so there are excerpts of trying to balance life along with this. All of us practice some form of magic, so that will be prevalent in this, too. WALKING WITH DIVINITY is a lifelong project, and at the time of writing this we don't know when it will end, all we know is it will be published to the internet chapter by chapter, and this book will always remain a free resource.

Alex was born in a coastal village near Mycenae, the child of two embittered mortals, a once-proud soldier turned alcoholic, and a mother who viewed Alex's birth as the death of her youth and freedom. Their village, steeped in superstition, considered gentleness a flaw and ambiguity a danger. Alex was sensitive, empathetic, and different, and for this, they were shamed and punished. When they asked questions, they were told to be silent. When they cried, they were locked in the cellar. Their father said they were "too soft to live" and would beat them to "toughen them up." Their mother ignored them unless she needed a scapegoat. Their community watched in silence. The abuse was not because Alex was divine, but because they were human in a world afraid of softness, nuance, and change. One night, after a particularly cruel beating, Alex ran away and collapsed near an overgrown shrine. It was there that the gods began to take notice.

Theo grew up as Jason's and Sookie's older sister and moved out of the south at 18 to transition. After receiving a phone call about their Gran's death they decided to head back to Bon Temps braced for possible shock, homophobia and transphobia from the locals. Soon they meet Eric an 1000 year old Viking vampire and the only one who understands since he was born before white colonisation, feelings develop. How will their relationship go? *I don't own any of the True Blood characters, I only own my OC and any characters I make up. All True Blood characters are owned by Charlene Harris.
