Posted the first of three chapters of my weird queer horror story on AO3 (because I haven't built a website for my original fiction yet). Details below.

Title: The Hand That Touches Flame

CWs: possession, body horror, unsure reality, swearing, disturbing imagery

Summary:
Four years ago, Morgan Lee's last remaining alternate self broke through his mirror and tried to kill him. Now, as a vigilante defender of reality with an immortal boss and a mind-reading best friend who could theoretically cause an apocalypse, he's learned to rank threats to his well-being in order of least-to-most dangerous:

3. Eldritch extraplanar entities from hostile realities bent on invading his own, and the cultists who serve them.
2. The British government.
1. Himself. Specifically: the excruciating embarrassment of having a crush on said mind-reading best friend.

Saving teenage girls from the demons they summoned via Tumblr is easy, after all. It's everything else that's hard.

Are you one of those people who say "I'd rather read your crappy original writing than something generated by AI?" Now's the time to put your money where your mouth is!

I, without any previous experience, wrote 100 different short stories, around 1,000 words each, for a total of over 105,000 words! Find them on my #blog, or don't; it's a free country!

"You can't be friends with dragons!" the knight shouted. "They're cruel, capricious, detached from the world, want whatever they see-"

"You're describing kings," the princess said. "Well, one king. Others have made different choices."

"Can dragons make different choices?"

"All can. Why not try?"
