Ghost of a Rose ~ Chapter 13
Chapter 12
Chapter 14
One thing I always worry about in stories like this is that the timeline for what’s going on happens way too quickly. Like here, it’s only been about a month and a half since Markus got here, but he’s still already at -this- point in his relationship with Rhea, and… well, it feels like it works with the story, so maybe in future edits I’ll see about removing the specific dates and just leave it up to reader interpretation. But at this point I’ll never pass up a chance to have these two kiss.
And then this is also leading into something new for me: actually facing and, importantly, -discussing- the poly-relationship thing within the story. Y’all who’ve been keeping up with my other stuff & accounts have probably seen that this was something I figured out about myself some years back, which provided a lot of pretty funny hindsight: there’s elements of those tendencies all the way back through pretty much all of my major projects (Heart of the Forest especially, but also in Unexpected, Undeserved, and definitely in Taste too – keep an eye out for progress on some sequel stories there) but it’s never come into the forefront.
Even so, I still wouldn’t consider it a main part of -this- story. Sure, it definitely factors into it! But it’s not what the story’s about. Ghost of a Rose is about learning and understanding responsibility, in life -and- in relationships. It just so happens that Markus is poly, and part of him acquiring that perspective comes from learning how to manage and balance a complex relationship like this.
But! That’s a little too much. Important things happening in this chapter, leading into even more important things in the next one. And don’t y’all worry, we’ll be getting to another action scene before too terribly long here.
This story is funded by my lovely supporters, who can read the rest of this one in its entirety, all the way through chapter 18! Otherwise, it publicly updates every other Tuesday.
Also, I'm open & looking for commissions! Send me a message if you're interested in getting something done!
