Ch. 5 – Theo – transmasc mm romance on Patreon!

Chapter Five of Theo – a transmasc reimagining of Little Women – is up on Patre♡n! Wherein a hidden truth is revealed.

~

“You’re not a girl,” said Leslie.

Theo stared at him.

Leslie realized his feverish rambling required further explanation. “Not really. I mean, they dress you up like one, and call you one, and expect you to act like one… but you’re not.”

Theo continued staring.

Leslie elaborated on his point. “So I don’t think you’re a girl at all. I think you’re rather a man.”

Theo said nothing.

“Like me,” Leslie said, with a little gesture of his hand towards his chest, as if Theo needed a reminder of what a man was. “Or, not exactly like me, but as much like me or any other man as a man like you can be.”

Theo blinked at him, slowly, like a cat, and it occurred to Leslie for the first time that he might not be making as much sense as he’d hoped.

But just as Leslie opened his cracked lips to try again, Theo spoke.

“Took you long enough to notice,” he said.

Chapter Four of Theo – a transmasc reimagining of Little Women – is up on Patre♡n! Wherein our hero enters a formerly-forbidden domain.

~

Determination had seen Theo through the most fearful moments—skating back to the dock to snatch the oar from the rowboat, screaming Leslie’s name, waiting for him to break the surface again, drawing him out and marching him off the lake and keeping him moving, keeping him warm—but now, with Leslie bundled up and whisked off into the unknown depths of the mansion, there remained nothing to distract him.

Ch. 3 – Theo – transmasc mm romance on Patreon!

Chapter Three of Theo – a transmasc reimagining of Little Women – is up on Patre♡n! Wherein our hero mounts a daring rescue.

~

Leslie plunged into the depths before he could even cry out. The lake engulfed him in water so cold it burned against his flesh. Shock forced his breath from his lungs in a sharp burst of bubbles. He watched them float towards the little halo of light that marked the hole he’d fallen through. He had to follow it, he knew, if he wanted any chance at saving himself. Yet breaking the convulsive shiver that had consumed his limbs upon entering the water felt like shattering iron chains. He willed his limbs to move despite the cold, despite the shock, despite the burning in his chest and the heavy waves of exhaustion crashing down again and again over his mind. Below him, the darkness loomed, a midnight sky devoid of stars.

New England autumn swiftly turning to winter proved a far cry indeed from summer in Venice.

Leslie Tilton didn’t know if that made matters better or worse.
