Are you into spicy dark fiction that isn't afraid to get dark even during smut? Want "doomed polycule" and "the trauma part before reclaiming your body and pleasure after severe trauma?" Would you like terrible sex demons who are awful to all of the humans involved? Coming 10/1: short.do/pStjaw

#SunsetChat Thank you for hosting!! If you wanna read more about what Avery and Tristan from The Witch of Eden Hollow would be like in a modern setting, I'd been writing my take on it! ❤️ archiveofourown.org/works/878823... And if you wanna see the whole idea, I'll have the original threadfic 🔗 below
Background Image: A brick lined city street in Portland, Maine
Top Caption:
No Love Like Your Love
An Eden Hollow Modern AU

Synopsis on the left:
Worldly exposure was necessary for Eden Hollow’s compound, ensuring that followers both had a choice to stay but also had no reason to leave. It was time for Avery Miller’s six month sabbatical, and although he was more than sure of his devotion to his faith, he also knew that some people that left never came back.

When he decides to take his sabbatical in Southern Maine, he runs into a familiar face that he never thought he’d see again. Tristan Lowell defected and has no desire to return to the compound, and although Avery knows he shouldn’t be speaking to him, he missed his dearest friend far too much to follow the rules.

As old, buried feelings that he refuses to name reignite and he finds himself drawn to breaking his tenets for worldly delights, can Avery confidently return to the compound as planned? Or will he decide that a blissful romance is a future more worth coveting?

Small list on the right:
- Religious Trauma
- Spiritual Deconstruction
- Chronically Ill MC
- Size Difference
- Queer Joy

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Reminder: if you use an asterisk or other character in place of a letter, it doesn't get filtered by muted word lists. For example, if you put "d*gs" then mute lists don't recognize it as "dogs" and will show it to people who have that word muted.

a small black cat and a larger orange cat both curled up on a bed, separated by a green blanket with a mushroom print. they're really not cuddling. they're too feet apart. however them being two feet apart without the orange cat getting mad about it is great, and them being two feet apart with the orange cat being fully cozified is astonishing
