Here's A&A 13, I hope you like it. And I should probably warn everyone that I'm stopping after episode 15, which is not, by any means, the end of the story. The first draft gets pretty sketchy beyond that point though, (Yeah, even sketchier than what you've already put up with. I know.) and I decided it would be better to stop at a high point.
But I am planning to complete the story and polish it, and seek publication for it.
You probably know the drill by now, but just in case:
Ameranth is a vasai, born with both male and female characteristics, and the ability to heal. Ash is a chel, a member of the underclass. Ash gets caught where he's not supposed to be and is brutally punished for it, but when Ameranth brings him to his home and heals him, that is really breaking all the rules. What begins as an act of compassion grows into a bond of love and ignites sparks that could set Ameranth and Ash's whole world on fire.
Please note: The Ameranth & Ash segments posted here are from a work in progress. They are entirely raw, with author's notes, missing names, different versions of the same paragraph, and all manner of grisly error. They also include explicit, non-heteronormative sex, and graphic violence. And you should know that I will not post the whole story in its entirety. At some point I will stop and pull the existing excerpts in preparation for submitting the work to a publisher. And now, if I haven't driven you away yet, ;) enjoy!
Cool. I like where this is going.
