Daily excerpt for chapter 9 of Constellations:
'He ignored your safeword?'
'Funny, right? Someone like me going through that? Like, it's the least of what I deserved.'
The silence was cold and Gwyn sat there aware of all the younger versions of himself that would have thought exactly that. He felt sick.
He understood then with a horrible, heartbreaking clarity, why Efnisien had to stop seeing him. Because Efnisien lived with all those younger, judgemental versions of Gwyn. Because Efnisien had internalised blaming himself for everything, and he would have beaten Gwyn to the punch before he could have told Efnisien he deserved it. Because he would have. He fucking would have done that. He felt really sick, then, and he took a slow and deep breath, and swallowed the saliva that built in his mouth.
'It's not funny,' Gwyn said roughly. 'It's not funny that you went through that. You didn't deserve that. You don't deserve that. You don't deserve more than that.'

I absolutely cannot wait for Kadek/Ef I LOVE THEM AS MUCH AS I LOVE ARDEN/EF
I've written the first chapter, anon, of their story! That was enough for me to know it was a sure thing, because I had to hold myself back from immediately writing more.
I've always loved their chemistry, and the places where they're so great for each other, and also the places where they clash! :D
