Alright, I have one! "Report: “Gay glass ceiling” prevents gay men from being promoted" This should be fun. -

LOL, I was literally just about to jump in with this one. I am excited to see what you do with it. -
Broadswords Chapter Eight The Quest It had been twenty four hours since the unexpected knock at Daegon's door. "The prince?" he had parroted, his own jaw dropping to match Birten's. That was far from what he had expected. "Yes," Birten had said simply, standing awkwardly in the doorway. It made no sense to Daegon. No member of the royal family made house calls, regardless of the visitee. Even the noblemen and noblewomen were called upon by a third party, middlemen for the king

Thanks! Kep is one of my favorites. I think he’s definitely got the most room for development, which is always a great thing.

We will find out soon!

Thank you very much! That means a lot, and I really appreciate the compliment! I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

Appreciate the insight! I’m hoping the rest feels a little bit more natural.

A new mystery indeed! 😇

Mayhap! Or mayhap not! 😇

Broadswords Chapter Seven The Cave In the early hours of the morning, well before the sun was set to rise, Kep and his brother departed the tiny living space that occupied the attic of Street Inn. They were off to gather hollowshrooms, a mushroom that retained the majority of its flavor if picked just before dawn. Leaving as early as they were gave them plenty of time to reach their destination. The prime picking time for the hollowshrooms was doubly beneficial, as it also granted them

Broadswords Chapter Six The Ranking Though it hadn't changed in quite some time, Elan always kept a copy of the most recent ranking list tacked to the wall in his weapon room. It was near the door, so every time he exited the room he'd be reminded of where he stood. Number one. It had been that way for a long time. As he studied the list now, he paid more attention to the fourth ranked. Daegon. When Daegon had first entered the world of dragonslaying, there were only five other

Broadswords Chapter Five The Prince It was far beyond mid-day by the time Daegon found himself heading home. He didn't know how he was going to try to explain this one to Birten. He had done some horrible things before, and treated his squire like filth, but he hadn't shared a bed with anyone else since they spent their first night together. Elan's lavish home was on the first street on the ring of residences nearest the castle, so it wasn't a great distance from his own home on the

Broadswords Chapter Four The Squire It was almost three hours into opening the doors before Kep saw any business in Street Inn. Thus, it was much like any other day. The majority of the afternoon patrons were regulars, drunks from the neighboring residences that had settled on this as their local dive. He did obtain a few more affirmative responses than normal upon offering lunch menus, however. Business had never been spectacular, especially given the location and the size of the e

Thanks so much! The deeper I get into developing the characters, the more I’m loving it too! Next chapter will be up soon. 🤗

Broadswords Chapter Three The Rival The feast was well underway, and Daegon had already had his fill of soups, salads, and various preparations of game foul native to the area surrounding the kingdom. It was a treat to consume dishes prepared by the royal chef and his team. He himself was terrible in the kitchen, and Birten wasn't much better. He would need to live a street closer to the castle to be afforded any kind of wait staff; it was only the top dragonslayer that was granted the

I'm glad you're enjoying it! There's definitely a lot more character development to come, so I hope you continue to like Birten and Kep as they grow!

Thanks for the feedback! Your critique is helpful; any insights on things to avoid from other authors in their experiences is more than appreciated as something to look out for. Thanks again!

Broadswords Chapter Two The Barkeep The following evening, Daegon joined the royal family and other esteemed guests for dinner. That left Birten to find other ways to occupy his time. Daegon was particular about letting Birten remain in his home unaccompanied. Thus, the 20-year-old found himself trudging along the less opulent streets as he made his way toward his own dwelling. The royal dinner typically went on for hours, usually long after the guests would have normally gone to be

Broadswords Chapter One The Dragonslayer Wine dripped from his face, each coarse whisker of his beard creating its own rivulet of purple to his tunic. It soaked into the off-white fabric immediately upon contact, creating a makeshift plum dye. He didn't seem to notice or care, as he continued to swallow the drink with a ferocity mirroring that of the dragon he'd just slain. That being said, his erratic thirst was partially an attempt to numb himself from feeling the burnt flesh of his r

When dragonslayer Daegon and his squire Birten are sent on a run-of-the-mill dragonslaying quest, they aren't expecting anything too extreme. But a dangerous plan is afoot, and they're in for a lot more than they bargained for. Sure, they expected dragons. But dark magic, mysterious artifacts, and secretive organizations all come into play as they race against the clock to prevent the evil plan from unfolding.
