Chapter Eleven of Theo – a transmasc historical MM romance inspired by Little Women – is up on Patre♡n, wherein sibling rivalry boils over after the ball.

“Why are you so determined to ruin tonight for me?” Myrtle demanded.
Theo thought he had every right to ask her the very same question, but held his tongue.
“Do you realize what you’ve done?” Myrtle continued. “What were you thinking, telling mother about your dance with Leslie? And now we may never go to another ball for the rest of the season!”
“I may not,” Theo corrected her. “You may do as you please.”
“And how am I supposed to attend a ball without my sister?” Myrtle hissed “Who shall chaperon me? Not mother, surely, and it would be unthinkable to demand it of any other lady. And what excuse can we possibly make for why you won’t attend? People will notice the circumstances—that you and Leslie disappeared at the Howland ball, and never appeared together again at any other for the rest of the year—people will talk! As if we didn’t have fuel enough for rumor before!”
“Good-night, Myrtle,” said Theo.
Myrtle gaped at him. “After all I’ve done for you?”
“Thank you,” said Theo. “Good-night.”
Myrtle trembled with rage, turned on her heel, and stalked out of Theo’s bedroom, pausing at the door just long enough to say, “You are beyond a shadow of a doubt the most ungrateful sister that ever walked the earth!”
Theo had never felt more grateful to have his sister slam a door in his face.
