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.
