Feral!Gywn AU? If you don't mind, details? :)
It’s actually looking like at least 15,000 words are gonna get written. The folks supporting my writing through the Patreon account recently had the option to vote on three different AUs that I will write 15k on (it also included expanding Salt Water, or writing more on Quid Pro Quo) and the feral!Gwyn AU has come out on top. I think even if every other patron voted right now, feral!Gwyn would still be what’s getting the wordcount.
And the storyline is very simple:
Gwyn, at Court status, is abandoned into the forest by his family at a very young age, and becomes wilder and far less verbal. Efnisien, his cousin, still lays traps for him on a regular basis and tortures him - giving Gwyn a large fear of the unknown, and other fae.
One day, Augus - a well-respected dominant, beloved of the Raven Prince and pretty happy with his own life thank you very much - stumbles across Gwyn in his forest, ripping his leg apart in a trap. He goes to leave, and then comes back, freeing him. He finds himself oddly fascinated; especially by the fact that Gwyn is a non-verbal common fae of high status. He decides he wants to figure out where Gwyn is from, and get to the bottom of the mystery, but Gwyn isn’t exactly cooperative, and Augus has bitten off way more than he can chew. (Ash helps out, he’s always been good with dogs, and that ironically translates pretty well to a mostly non-verbal wild Gwyn).
It will feature aspects of puppyplay as a kink, among other things. And wow is it angst heavy.
