For the rest of the morning Maks felt a little numb, but apart from that he managed to get a grip. He made breakfast, trying very hard to erase the memory of the agitated kid rushing out of the woods as if someone was chasing him. He carefully considered all the scenarios of what could have happened, who Aleks was talking to, who else was where, who the phone belonged to and why it was so important. So many unknowns and no answers. He tried to drive away the thought that last night he slept und

Thank you very much @drsawzall and @Mawgrim for your feedback!

Thank you, Mawgrim! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I am working on tenses, I catch myself overthinking it while it would probably work better if I just went with the flow and with what feels most right. I’m glad that it doesn’t make reading a lot harder. Thank you again for feedback and I hope to hear from you again

Thank you everybody for your warm welcome! 🙂

“Are you going to tell me your name?”, Maks asked, trying to appear impassive. The kid said nothing for a long moment. “Aleks,” he muttered reluctantly. Maks glanced at him derisively. “So… aversion to long names, Aleksander?” he baited him, grinning. When Aleks grimaced, he added cheerfully: “Olek is too clichéd?[1] Not that Aleks is very sophisticated.” “Did I ask for your input?” Aleks asked with frigidly. Maks shrugged. „I just thought it would be nice not to sit in silen

It had been less than twenty-four hours and for the fifty seventh time Maks thought he was making a mistake. The frequency of this pondering depended heavily on the amount of time spent with his parents. The mere existence of these people gave the institution of marriage bad publicity. He’d been trying to convince himself that it was only natural to be anxious after making such a huge life decision. Besides, why would he even waste time on doubts when he knew from the very beginning how it

Hi! I'm Mercury. I've started reading fanfiction in early teens and then got sucked into everything related to gay fiction. I have been writing it for quite a while, though I've been suffering from a pretty serious writer's block for the last two years. I've spent the pandemic basically staying locked in and trying to produce something between working and being bored out of my mind, but none of the new concepts lasted, so I'm trying a different angle and translating my old work into English, because why not. You all seem like a nice bunch, so I would like to start publishing here after I check what you've got to read and probably get sucked in again. Now I have done a bit of translating before (fanfiction mostly), even if only the other way around (English to Polish), but I am not a professional translator and English is far from being my first language. But so far I'm pretty happy about it and happiness must be shared. Nice to meet you all, I'm going exploring.
