I have had a couple of stories on the back burner for nearly a year, so perhaps this will give me the nudge to get back to them!
“Soft Damage” (my current story that I’m actively writing)
Arthur Morgan + OC female character // Modern canon-divergent AU set in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Arthur Morgan is a mechanic and tow truck driver caught in the orbit of Dutch van der Linde’s semi-criminal operation. Loyal past the point of wisdom, and convinced that men like him don’t get to want ordinary things. Delilah Gaines is an ER nurse: sharp, self-contained, and quietly hungering for something she can’t quite articulate. They meet outside a hospital over a shared cigarette and end up pulled toward each other; close enough to feel the pull, never quite close enough to fall.
Soft Damage is a story about the cost of self-imposed exile from love, and whether a person can choose a different life before the old one makes the choice for them.
Gale Dekarios + OC female character // Post-game crisis, set in Waterdeep.
When Talys Kardynov, a half-eladrin Rashemi sorceress and veteran of a devastating planar crisis, is appointed head of the Academy’s new Department of Sorcery, she walks into a world that doesn’t want her. Chief among her detractors is Professor Gale Dekarios, formerly the chosen and lover of Mystra, goddess of magic, and a celebrated veteran of the Elder Brain crisis in Baldur’s Gate. Brilliant, guarded, and quietly lonely, Gale opposes everything Talys represents: instinct over structure, chaos over control, wildness over discipline.
Anchored in Waterdeep’s Blackstaff Academy, this is a story about two people who spent years dismissing everything the other represented, only to find that the those very things might be exactly what they need.
Aesop Sharp + OC female character // Modern canon divergent AU set in London, England.
Elinor Mosswick is a figurative painter surviving on bartending shifts, bottle service, and three nights a week stripping at a Soho club. Aesop Sharp is a disgraced former Oxford academic now teaching A-Level Lit at a North London college, and a functioning alcoholic in the loosest sense of the word. They meet when he stumbles into her orbit at a Hackney nightclub and can’t find his way back out.
Set against the grey, neon-streaked sprawl of 2008 London (Camden walk-ups, velvet-curtained strip clubs, dive bars, fluorescent-lit classrooms), this is a story about addiction, class, intimacy, and what it looks like to love someone through the worst of themselves.
