an angel walks into a bar.

⤳ a wip intro.

genre | queer romance. status | first drafting complete !! vibes | italian countryside, penthouse, bondage bars, empty vodka bottles, drag queens, polyamory, your boyfriend's husband's really terrible band, learning to drive in a ferrari, jumping fences, a gasoline on a bonfire kind of love. an angel walks into a bar, or so it seems when the most beautiful boy sebastian has ever seen walks into his club. it's a gasoline-on-a-bonfire kind of love. the angel is too young and too fragile beneath his charm and confidence, and sebastian is too in love with him to do anything but make it work. to balance his new love with his golden retriever of a husband, with his lifestyle, with his demons will be no easy task. they are doomed by the narrative, doomed by circumstance, and doomed by the very love that they are fighting for.

a very cute, doing-his-best, nineteen year old caspar <3

so an angel walks into a bar is part of both the broader casparverse as a whole but also a smaller series that is currently three books but i reckon will be four books when all is said and done.

aawiab has been first drafted, so now i'm planning out the prequel and sequel. and the thing is. both of those books are SO silly. one is like 'a bunch of students think they invented polyamory' and the other is 'why the fuck are my husband and your best friend parent-trapping us into getting back together?'

and then aawiab is like. addiction. bdsm. unhealthy obsession. doomed by the narrative. harrowing ending.

it is SO out of place and i'm not even going to do anything about it. i'm calling it an artistic choice. it is what it is.

sebastian is such a fun character to write bc he's secret trans and autism rep but you wouldn't know unless you know.

don't get me wrong, it'll all be explicit in the sequel, but in this book you would have no idea if you didn't already know, there's just a lot of little hints that seem obvious in retrospect but are just mildly confusing at the time.

the most fun is that he seems like the sterotypical controlling dominant type, but he isn't, and it's a really fun twist on that trope to be like ahahaha he needs to control everything? well that would be the autism tyvm.

he both amuses and delights and i love him very much.

okay the thing with the final act of this book is that caspar is kinda just the worst. and i love that boy. with my whole entire heart. but oh my god bro please get ur shit together.

[firesidefantasy]

the problem with caspar is that he's a trainwreck you don't see coming. one minute he's this smooth charming sweetheart who makes you feel warm and special, and the next he's threatening to kill himself on christmas out of nowhere and you're left wondering how the fuck you never saw that coming.

[firesidefantasy]

of all the ways one might want to meet their boyfriends mother, having her walk in on him fucking you on christmas morning and immediately accuse you of being a crack whore gold digger is perhaps not very high on the list.

i do think it's funny that when i started this seb was a bit of a christian grey wannabe and now he is an autistic trans loverboy with a terrible fear that those he loves will die and an all consuming need to protect them.

sometimes they're all just talking and caspar interjects a weirdly nuanced opinion on, say, the role of substance in the formation of kinship, or the universality of the term 'homosexual', and backs it up with a minimum of three citations, and everybody is just like. thrown. and he just continues like nothing happened.

when they find out that sebastian is an anthropology professor it all starts to make more sense.
