~
“I have three beautiful daughters,” Mother began, the tremor in her voice less like tears and more like an operatic vibrato.

Ch. 17 – Theo – transmasc MM romance on Patreon!
Chapter Seventeen of Theo – a transmasc historical MM romance inspired by Little Women – is up on Patre♡n, wherein a splendid party is attended.
~
“What have you done?” Myrtle continued in a furious whisper. “Entertaining gentlemen at a hotel? Are you deranged?”
Theo hoped the truth might set him free—from Myrtle’s claws, if nothing else. “Leslie invited me, as a fellow gentleman, to join him and his school-friends for a perfectly respectable dinner.”
Myrtle stared at him. “You’re not even ashamed.”
“I’ve done nothing to be ashamed of.”

Appendicitis: The Narratively Perfect Disease – Hurt/Comfort
Disclaimer: I am not a doctor. None of this is medical advice. We are speaking of appendicitis in a purely fictional context. If you are having symptoms you suspect may be appendicitis please stop reading and seek medical attention from a qualified practitioner immediately.

“Four people are sitting around the table talking about baseball, whatever you like.
Five minutes of it, very dull.
Suddenly a bomb goes off. Blows the people to smithereens.
What do the audience have?
10 seconds of shock.
Now, take the same scene. And tell the audience that there’s a bomb under the table and that it’ll go off in 5 minutes.
Now the whole emotion of the audience is totally different. Because you’ve given them that information.
Now that conversation about baseball becomes very vital. Because they’re saying to you, don’t be ridiculous, stop talking about baseball there’s a bomb under there.
You’ve got the audience working.”
— Alfred Hitchcock

I hear Alfred Hitchcock talk about Suspense and I think Appendicitis. A bomb strapped under the table that only the audience can see? No—a vestigial organ in everyone’s abdomen.

“Leslie?” Theo croaked, struggling to rise.
Leslie shushed him and laid the back of his hand against Theo’s brow. This light touch alone held Theo in place, too weak to contest it. His skin felt as dry and hot as burnt toast. Leslie withdrew his hand and reached for the wash-cloth in the bowl of lavender water on the night-stand. Returning to bathe Theo’s forehead, he found Theo staring at him with fever-bright eyes.
“Is it really you?” Theo said, his whisper like the creaking of the garden gate.
“Yes,” Leslie told him, applying the wash-cloth. Theo’s eyes closed at once; Leslie hoped that meant his ministrations were working. “Yes, it’s me. Hush now. Save your strength.”
“Leslie,” Theo murmured regardless.
