THE LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA x THE TAINTED CUP | #DVPit #A #F #DF #LGBT A conman grows entangled in a deadly battle of schemes to protect a priest of fungi from the forces seeking to turn him into a mindless puppet—including the mushrooms infesting him.

A conman must keep a priest of fungi alive if he wants to escape his deadly mushroom allergies—but when he falls for said mushroom-infested man, he’s torn between love and breathing easy. And the fungi will want far more than his lungs in exchange for its favorite priest. #QueerPit #A #F #DF

Text is overlaid that says:
Lucanus looked like he'd been carved from a tree. No, Stefek realized, he's what's being carved. The knife slid along the edges of him, tracing the shape of the human and cutting away the fungus. It never drew blood. The attendant was careful, and Lucanus more so. Obediently, he'd hold his body in whatever shape the attendant nudged him into. One slice of mushroom at a time, the platter filled.A watercolor illustration of a foggy, rocky beach. Squiggly, worm-like black lines rise from the ocean.

Text is overlaid that says:
Six widow-wires rose from the beach like garden eels on the sea floor. Wiggling, waving, lashing out to whip at the boulders. Searching for prey. Stefek bunched his limbs into a ball as the one behind him's shadow danced across the orange algae.

[…]

The wires straightened with a snap, half a dozen perfect lines drawn in the fog. They hissed as Lucanus whispered inaudible words. Then all at once, they collapsed, and the waves began to pull the five spirals out to sea—a crab claimed the sixth in its pincers.

Lucanus unburied his feet and smiled. "There. See? I'm nothing to worry about."

A conman must keep a priest of fungi alive in order to escape his deadly mushroom allergies and build a crime-free life for himself. 🍄 fungi as friend and foe ❤️‍🔥 grumpy conman x bratty priest 😈 scheming = love language 😏 can’t physically touch? no problem ⚕️ reproductive autonomy #QueerPit #A #F #DF

I have rightfully been called a ”wife gal” in the past but who wouldn’t be when your wife casually whips out brilliant fanart of your manuscript 😭 #amquerying (she is daintycapybara over on insta and she wants it known this is a WIP)
