Ch. 13 – Theo – transmasc MM romance on Patreon

Chapter Thirteen of Theo – a transmasc historical MM romance inspired by Little Women – is up on Patre♡n, wherein our hero enacts a daring plan.

~

Before the man could recover his shock, Theo whipped off his cap and unpinned his hair. Chestnut waves cascaded down his shoulders and past his waist to a tumbling halt somewhere about his mid-thigh. He grabbed a lock and smoothed it out to hold up its length for the benefit of the barber’s inspection.

“Good morning!” Theo called to the astonished barber. “What’s all this worth to you?”

Ch. 11 – Theo – transmasc MM romance on Patreon

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.

Ch. 10 – Theo – transmasc MM romance on Patreon

Chapter Ten of Theo – a transmasc historical MM romance inspired by Little Women – is up on Patre♡n, wherein our heroes dance.

~

Theo could hardly hear the strings above the beating of his own heart. It hammered against his ribcage as if it would break free.

Ch. 9 – Theo – transmasc MM romance on Patreon

Chapter Nine of Theo – a transmasc historical MM romance inspired by Little Women – is up on Patre♡n, wherein our heroes attend a ball.

~

Theo gave him a long look. “You must have a half-dozen girls begging you to fill their dance card.”

“I don’t want to dance with a half-dozen girls. I want to dance with you.”

“You already have.”

“Not as I should have.”

“And how is that?” Theo asked with a suspicious squint.

“As a follower rather than a leader.”

Theo’s brow furrowed in confusion. Then his eyes widened, their bachelor-button-blue brightening in the firelight. His lips parted in silent surprise a moment before he found the words he wished to speak. “With me as the gentleman, you mean?”

“I do,” said Leslie—and, with a smile, offered his hand to Theo as a lady ought.

Ch. 8 – Theo – transmasc MM romance on Patreon

Chapter Eight of Theo – a transmasc historical MM romance inspired by Little Women – is up on Patre♡n, wherein our heroes prepare for a ball.

~

“There!” Myrtle declared. “A perfect little woman!”

Against his better judgment, Theo opened his eyes.

A young woman stood before him. She had a strong jaw, a long nose, sharp cheekbones, full brows, and long lashes. Her chestnut hair had gathered in a pile atop her head, and the neckline of her gown sank very low indeed, leaving nothing in between to hide her slender neck or her shoulders as straight as a soldier’s. Indeed, her gown came down far enough to reveal the top of her bosom, not particularly ample but appearing moreso as her corset forced it up. Her narrow waist kept the fashion, as did her voluminous skirts. No trace of a smile graced her lips, though their curve and color compelled the eye regardless. She had altogether a proud stance, as if the cage of the crinoline could scarce contain her, and she seemed the sort of woman Theo would like to know.

Then her lips parted for breath in time with his own, and with a horrible jolt, he recalled the face he stared into supposedly belonged to him.

Ch. 7 – Theo – transmasc MM romance on Patreon

Chapter Seven of Theo – a transmasc historical MM romance inspired by Little Women – is up on Patre♡n, wherein our heroes endure a Christmas.

~

“All right!” Annabelle cried. “Open your eyes!”

Theo dropped his hands. His well-practiced smile froze on his lips as his eyes fell upon the waist-high white cage assembled in the center of the room.

Myrtle and Mother stood on either side of it, holding it up and beaming with pride, while Annabelle hopped around them both, bursting with excitement.

“Isn’t it marvelous?” Annabelle cooed, looking as if she’d like to crawl under the cage’s domed roof herself.

“Yes,” Theo lied, and put all his effort into maintaining his smile as he stepped forward to touch the cage—a whalebone crinoline, to hang under his skirts. He hoped his shocked dismay would read as wonderful disbelief.

“Don’t pout just because it isn’t steel,” said Myrtle.

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.
