I love, love, love your bloodvine series. The whole thing is unbearably hot, but especially Logan’s bizarre relationship with Rorke. The scenes they have together so far are somehow more titillating than if they were straight up having sex. If you plan to write any more, will we see more of the Corps? I’d love to learn more about the militarism behind bloodvine (and how it behaves as an enforcer of the cult’s ideals)!
i'm giggling and kicking my feet at this ask. you get it!!
first of all, i'm so glad you're enjoying the setting. rorke and logan are some of my favorite barbies to put into situations™ and i'm sure it's apparent in the fic – that psychosexual attachment tag is there for a reason! and trust; it will continue to have solidified into something they both can't ignore (or go without) by the time hesh returns.
as for the corps, there will definitely be more! i was previously very limited by logan's social access around bloodvine (even though he's a walker). logan was able to give a glimpse into the operations of bloodvine by virtue of belonging to elias and being a new adult, but the corps was never in his future, even before he became an adult. women aren't able to join.
by contrast, hesh has been trained for the corps for pretty much his whole life, which is part of why elias allowed hesh to leave bloodvine for military service. otherwise he'd be at a disadvantage from the rest of the corps, who all have that experience.
when hesh returns (which will ultimately be about 3-4 years after the end of part one), he'll be immediately put on a training regimen for the corps so he can integrate. this means that we'll get more of that adult male social sphere (including but not exclusive to the corps) that logan could identify but never truly join, as well as see hesh navigating his own shift in hierarchy since he left. (like...he's kind of lower than logan now, at least until he secures a spot in the corps. which is it's own kind of mind fuck for the man.) when you include that, by the time hesh returns, logan is more than settled in his community position and in his marriage with elias, including the power and influence that gives him, hesh is in for a wild ride.
