February 9, 2022 | Faustus's diary

  Being with Luci these past few days has been like a dream come true. He is everything I had hoped and more. I've even eased up on bullying that maddening spouse of his, however much she may deserve it.

Serena still seems to think Luci will grow bored and, if not leave, then become distant toward her. I'm quite surprised she doesn't seem to see me as competition. Perhaps she thinks her husband is merely humouring me. She clings to him, yes, yet she still requires her others. Suppose one of them were to demand her exclusivity? She has many talents, but the ability to remain monogamous is not among them.

Notice I did not use the word "faithful". I did not comprehend it before, but now, being on the inside, as it were, I believe there to be a distinction between faithfulness and monogamy. Luci and Serena have a wholly open marriage. They tell each other everything and Serena will honour Luci's veto of any of her lovers. She's at his beck and call without question. That shows her faithfulness to him. Similarly, were she to veto any of his lovers, I do believe he would respect her preference, which makes him faithful to her. This is despite the fact they are clearly not monogamous.

On the other hand, Freya and I were monogamous, aside from a few actions taken by Nathaniel and Trent. Yet with the questionable gift of hindsight, I can see that neither of us was faithful to the other. I had eyes for Luci, against her wishes, and she had eyes for Nathaniel, which I'd not have cared about had she not made such a fuss over Luci. Then there was the fact that Trent assaulted me, and my "darling" wife seemed more concerned about whether I'd enjoyed it! I say, what madness is that? She also clearly took umbrage to me soliciting Serena's services-- as a joke, mind! I wonder what the D.L. was thinking, playing matchmaker for us? Hadn't he better things to do? Why stake my life upon marrying her, and deprive me of a perfectly agreeable wife and our children? Constance certainly wasn't as exciting as Freya, but she tolerated Dorian well enough, and she'd have tolerated Luci, I do believe.

Luckily for me, the D.L. said nothing of divorce.

April 23, 2022 | Serena's diary

   I love that Sigefrid loves cuddling ♥ He's not the type to admit to it, but whenever we sit together, it's like we  have  to be touching. He's also not bothered by me doing my language lessons in his presence. In fact, he loves learning about other cultures as much as I do. So cuddling in bed with him and using Duolingo together is a pretty perfect start to our day... after the sex, of course ♥ Sometimes he automatically translates my lessons out loud, from memory, so we're brushing up on languages together. That will help with expanding our international syndicate.

September 17, 2022 | Nate x Royce – First Meeting

 Nate to Royce: "Didn't know anyone else was in here."   Shit! That fucking door! He really needed to change the damn locks sometime soon because this was getting annoying. Luckily though he'd merely been checking his new hardware, that had gotten infected now twice. Dropping his shirt and tossing the bloodied gauze into the trash he shot a glare towards Nathaniel. "Yeah well.... Someone was in here. Move." He half growled to the other male who was currently in the doorway of the bathroom..   "That looks nasty. Do you need any help?" Nate asked. He wasn't exactly accustomed to helping other people, but it was considered polite to ask, regardless of how rude this guy was being.   "You a fuckin ripperdoc now to? Or a doctor even?" Royce snarked rather immediately as he glanced over his shoulder long enough to glance at Nathaniel then moved to kick a rolling stool that sat at the back of the massive garage over closed to a rather tall lo...

October 17, 2023 | Trent x Sebastian Flashback

    [in high school, after Trent turned him down] Yeahhhh I’m going to have to retcon the hell out of what I’d already written in order to make this work. Originally, Trent had had no idea Sebastian had feelings for him. Then as their dynamics evolved, I decided he had an inkling but didn’t know how deeply it went. Now… ehehe… I don’t even know, man. But then again, I don’t  have  to canonize this. I also cleaned this up a hell of a lot, because I feel like at this point, Sebastian’s kinks have been established well enough that no-one needs to read about them over  and over  and over again. Also I’m tired of my editor making “yuck” noises whenever they come up  🙄 Also, contrast this with how Troy handled being rejected romantically by Aemond. I like to think I did decently at showcasing different reactions by different characters.   Trent’s reasoning was that he didn’t want them to end up like his parents: whirlwind relationship in high school, m...
