Story summary: When a foul-mouthed, seditious foreigner turns up at your door, what are the benefits of letting him in? So wonders Carr, a young man living in a bayside nation that is troubled by internal battles. In his world, servants fight against masters, tonging watermen fight against dredging watermen, and landsteads eye one another's oyster grounds with greed. It seems to Carr that the only way in which to keep such warfare from entering his own home is to keep very, very quiet about certain aspects of himself which his family would not be able to accept.

But "trouble" is a word that appears to delight the new visitor. He is ready to stir up danger . . . though he may not be as prepared as he thinks to confront what lies within Carr.

The servants were scared stiff of him, and the masters were clearly uncertain what to say to a man who came from such an eccentric House. Nothing was different, nothing had changed. And yet everything had changed since Carr met a young foreigner who showed him not the least bit of respect.

Guess who (there's more than one) got captured?

Murno Tollbir meets Lorcko at the beach and has a conversation with Anaxantis. Rahendo and Obyann receive letters and packages. Lee-Lack Scarminckle has made a prisoner, but an encounter with the Mukthar prince Shigurtish leaves the robber chief worried about the future. Pages and Mukthars have a drink in The Cranky Goat and little Shermy steps on some toes. Storm over Lorseth means Obyann has to lock the door of his room. Another prisoner. This one is interrogated by Anaxantis. Later the dungeon master tells him the story of prince Pie, his distant predecessor as Lord Governor of the Northern Marches. The story is rather unsettling and plants a bitter seed.

Dark Tales★Bk I: The Invisible Chains

Title: Dark Tales of Randamor the Recluse - Book I: The Invisible Chains
Author: Eurypon
Format: Original - Novel
Length: 190 000 (November 14, 2009)
Status
: WIP
Rating: M - NC-17
Warnings: Violence, incest, rape, non-con, domination may all occur in varying degrees
Link: Ximerion
Summary: (by the author) A long and brooding chronicle with bitterness, savage tribes, bloody battles and crowns lost and gained. About friendship in arms, love in bonds, devotion against all odds and undeserved tenderness. M/M Slash

Review: The story is set in a kind of Middle Ages. Although very recognizable, there are some differences with our actual Middle Ages. Some regions in this world have more a feel of ancient Greece.

The kingdom of Ximerion is under threat of an attack on both its southern and northern border. The danger coming from the north is far less serious and the high king sends his youngest sons to the Northern Marches, under the guidance of an old and trusted friend, both to handle the situation and to safeguard them from the far more serious situation in the south.

Almost immediately strife breaks out between the half brothers, although they also feel attracted to each other... though this attraction takes some strange forms.

Like the author states in the summary it is a long and brooding tale. It requires some investment of the reader, especially in the beginning. Those who get past the first three or four chapters are well rewarded however.

Out of the Introduction-Warning by the author:

This will be a long and brooding chronicle with bitterness and savage tribes and bloody battles and crowns lost and gained. It will tell about foul betrayal and fighting in desperate situations. About friendship in arms and love in bonds. About devotion against all odds and undeserved tenderness. About reversal of fortunes and growth in adversity.

Be warned: there will be scenes of domination and rape, but never random or unexplained. Of course there will be smut. There will also be incest. The graphic description of armed conflict and the sacking of villages and cities may not be to everybody's taste. Characters you might have grown to love will die and their death will not always be an easy one.

It is doubtful that at the end of the story there will be anybody left who is totally innocent.

FIC: The Unanswered Question (The Eternal Dungeon; original fiction)

Title: The Unanswered Question.
Author: Dusk Peterson.
Where to find me: Website, Dreamwidth blog, InsaneJournal mirror blog, LiveJournal mirror blog, duskpetersonbooks (e-mail list with announcements of my fiction).
Series: The Eternal Dungeon, a historical fantasy series set in a land where the psychologists wield whips. You don't need to have read the rest of the series to understand this story.
Categories: Original fiction. Male/male platonic feelings (main plot) and male/male erotic attraction (subplots). Mentor fiction and prisoner fiction.
Note: This is my 2009 holiday gift story to my readers. You can see the prompts from my readers that inspired the novella and my response to their prompts (both with major spoilers, so they're best read after you've finished the story).
Rating: PG-13.
Warnings.
Feedback: Yes, please.
Summary: No weapons, no allies, and no guarantees that he will survive the test.

He was weaponless. Or rather, not quite weaponless, for he knew what he was capable of doing with his body, but he bore no blade, nor any whip, nor any lead pipe with which to stun his victim, nor any rope with which to strangle the victim . . . The number of potential weapons he had deliberately laid aside was frighteningly high.

Links on the Military Men page have been added to stories by Ranger, Parhelion, and Marquesate that are set around the conflicts in World War One, World War Two, and the modern British army.

Links on the Leathermen page have been added to bondage art that is an exercise in minimalism, an article about a bottom-man's efforts to overcome a phobia, and a video about power play that starts in a leather bar.

Next year's theme will be Prisoners and Prison Officers. (Yes, the 2008 theme has changed. There have been some good stories coming out in this category recently.) Please e-mail me if you have any suggestions for links to gay erotic and non-erotic narrative nonfiction, fiction, narrative poetry, drama, book excerpts, blog entries, art, photography, videos, and audio. The links can be to your own works or anyone else's. Suggestions for links to military and leather works continue to be welcome.

Fairytale: The Glass Coffin

Status: Done
Genre:
Fairytale, odd, fantasy
Rating:
M--R
Summary:
Once upon a Time there was a beautiful boy int the woods, and a young lord who was smitten.
Warnings: 
Erotic asphyxiation(not heavy), obsession
Note:
This story is loosely based on the fairytale that shares its name (in other words, its really very different but was thought of while this story was being written).So you know, I write dark stories, and although this one has been dubbed pretty dark, I don’t think its too bad. Either way I thrive on constructive crit.

Once upon a time there was a beautiful boy who lived in the woods.

 

Alaric met Roe the first time he went into the Inn’s tavern for drinks. Roe, a hunter’s son, wore doe brown slacks with a hunter’s knife held down by his pant leg that fitted into his boots just so. His long black hair was knotted and fettered in chunks, causing it to hang in front of his bright blue eyes, and red, red, lips. The bright contrast of his hair and skin stood out against the dull colored shirts he wore. Those bland, tattered, shirts clung to his chest, tailored by a small leather vest that pressed in just below his breastbone.

Hello. I've backed up my LJ archive of original character m/m pieces onto IJ, and called it [info]original_sin. It's friends-only, adults-only and ranges from light romance to rough stuff, but I've left this 15-rated bit of fluff unlocked to give you an idea of my writing style.

Two mates on a darts team bond over a spot of home baking. Double-entendres and frolicks ensue. Click to read more....

Friend [info]original_sin if you want to read more of my drivel. Feedback and friending requests on the journal itself, please.
