Please excuse this one post of me peddling my silly little (free) wears during these trying times. 🙏 😭

If you need something angsty and gay (and free) to keep you awake at night, might I suggest giving Battle Clerics a go. It’s an original story, but it would not exist without fan fic… both from where the nugget of inspiration came from and for how fic healed my weary creative soul.

I’m going to leave the beta version up for request on StoryOrigin throughout the shutdown and may even start adding some Part 2 chapters soon, if this drags on.

Comments from current beta readers include “THIS WAS SO GOOD,” and “I think I need to lay down,” and “last part got me giggling and kicking my feet,” and the holy “I should be asleep right now but I can’t stop reading.” 🫡

Link to request is on my website (in bio) but I’m approving pretty much everyone unless I can tell it’s an obvious bot account.

Stay safe and strong out there soldiers. ✨

"Angst is a given, fluff is a bonus" is how I'm pitching every D&D campaign I DM from now on 😂
