Badger nun just dropped. I've had this woman in my head for a while now, and I wanted to get a ref sheet done in time for Art Fight.

She's the abbess overseeing the convent connected to Battisto's church (formerly half of a double monastery). She has an aggressive sense of discipline and a strong loyalty to the Veritine Church, though she holds some quiet reservations about what she views as failures by the predominantly male clergy.

We are shining a spotlight on @transman-badass because I just finished reading this and loved it to bits.

Honoria: A Runner Owen Short Story by Vincent Lore

A queer gaslamp gothic murder mystery

The mystery of it is a delight, and Runner Owen is always my favorite person on the page, but...but... the little sprinkles of deeper lore and flecks of worldbuilding added so casually and beautifully are why I love this one so very much.

I can't say anything specific without ruining things.

Only that your descriptions, my fren, remain delectable and I forgot about my laundry and let my coffee get cold because I refused to stop reading for even a minute.

Seriously. Lovely story. More Owen please, I needs his stoic except in the face of a handsome and powerful man self.

Honoria: A Runner Owen Short Story Review

First things first, I'm so happy to be back in the Runner Owen (@runner-owen) universe! I was enchanted and fascinated by this universe from the moment I first read Friend of the Damned, and have been eagerly awaiting additions to this world ever since.

So, I'm very happy to report that Honoria was chock full of juicy Runner Owen lore, which I won't discuss here in case anyone wants to avoid spoilers. But let me just say, I am devouring this worldbuilding and expansions to the lore (no pun intended).

As for the plot of Honoria itself, it was full of twists, turns, and reveals, including a couple I really didn't see coming. My jaw was on the floor! While I feel it was slower-paced than the first installment in the Runner Owen series, this worked to its benefit, as I feel like the scope of Honoria is a little different than its predecessor.

Ultimately, I found Honoria to be a short and highly enjoyable read, another delicious taste of the wonderfully gothic Runner Owen world. I will continue to await any continuations or developments to this series, as I can sense that there is still so much more to this world that the first two installments have only scratched the surface of.

(Also, for the record, if anyone here has been tempted to read Honoria based on this post, just know that you should definitely read the first installment of the series, Friend of the Damned, first. Honoria is a great story, but it doesn't really function as a standalone. I would be completely lost if I came into it totally blind. That's not a bad thing, I just want people to know.)

...why do you throw objects at your last retainer? Do you want to have no retainers?

What else am I supposed to do when I'm angry or they fail at some task?

Just had a thought.

Hawkeye meeting Charles sister, Honoria, for whatever reason.

By accident probobly. He and Charles run into eachother and Honoria is either there, or they go back to Charles house and shes there or somthing like that.

In all of his talking about her, Charles never mentioned she has a stutter. (Why would he? Its not noteworthy. You don't point out when sombody doesnt sutter, do you?)

Honoria introduces herself or starts talking about somthing and Hawkeye just...stares at her. Sort of blankly. Lets her finish talking.

Charles is about to get upset, says with a warning tone "Pierce-" but Hawkeye doesnt say what Charles was anticipating. Instead he says, with awe, or perhaps slightly flirtatiously as he does with meeting any woman,

"You have a beautiful voice."
