The Evil in Me
Entering an arranged marriage, Saga escapes her abusive father, but must now find her place in her new life while keeping the evil in her from harming those around her to avoid being cast aside. ------ Because of an ability she cannot control, Saga has been mistreated her entire life. As such, her father has no qualms about marrying her off to a man he considers a barbarian. When Saga has her first proper interaction with her new husband on their wedding night, she is surprised by how he is nothing like the rumours say, and even more surprised by his suggestion of how their marriage will work. Viggo was born with nothing and has fought his way through life. Having gained status and money as a bounty hunter, the King has made him a vassal and given him a fief. It was something Viggo thought would give him a chance to find rest, but little did he know about the politics he would get dragged into. Even less did he know about the marriage he would be forced into; a marriage he has no interest in as he's been in a relationship with another man for a long time. As Saga and Viggo try to navigate their new life together escalating attacks on the Kingdom by monsters threatens the safety of their home and the people they hold dear. ------ Note, this story is very much a first draft and I have no idea where I'm going with this. ------ As for trigger warnings: Abuse, trauma responses (including panic attacks), sexually explicit scenes. More will likely be added as I continue to write
Bystanders in a story of lots
In the traditional narratives of the reign of the Achaemenid king Ahasuerus and Queen Esther, important not-quite-historical figures including the sagacious Carshena, the compassionate Hegai, and the steadfast retired horse of king Ahasuerus have had their consequential roles and decisions relegated to mere anecdotes in skipped-over lists. The not-quite-history of the middle Achaemenid Empire might have turned for the worst were it not for the swift political minds of serving girls and scribes at the Persian court, or without the rivalries of those royal concubines outshined by the beautiful queen of Judean descent; though the names of these pivotal people were sadly lost to the annals of history. Bystanders in a Story of Lots flips over the traditional book of Esther so that the plot is told by those characters glossed over or all but ignored in the original text. Though much of this narrative remains a speculative endeavor for the necessary educated guesses required to fill in the gaps in the historical records, my hope is that it but begin to address the injustice done to the lots of supposed bystanders overlooked by more founded works.Complete
