Ch. 6 – Theo – transmasc mm romance on Patreon!

Chapter Six of Theo – a transmasc reimagining of Little Women – is up on Patre♡n.

~

Many times, when they thought themselves out of earshot, the staff discussed how foolish Leslie had been to try to skate across the middle of the lake, and whether the first freeze was always the safest or most dangerous ice of the year. Occasionally they spoke of Theo himself and his kindness in doting on the invalid—though one particular housemaid, he knew not which, considered him “too clever by half” in insinuating his way into the household with “an eye for the young master’s hand and the inheritance with it.” Once Theo overheard the nurse talking with one of the footmen and calling him “a perfect little angel of the house,” and had to force himself to think of it as the compliment she’d intended, rather than the sickening twist he felt in his guts.
