And it's even posted online! Huzzah 🥳🥳🥳🥳

I know this is a lot of shouting and banner waving for a 1.3k story BUT it's been ages since I posted something new that wasn't a fanfic written for an exchange, so I can't help but celebrate 💖

The story can be read over on my writing account booksabaking and is an entry in my Once a Bard and His Friends Took a Train short story collection. This is only the second story in said collection, but at least ten more are on the way (one day 😅 my WIPs might unionize against me). It's called By Firelight and I had such a good time writing it 💚💚💚

A summary of this short story setting: This is the story of a man who ends up immortal completely on accident. This immortality turns out to be contagious. How? Why? He has no idea. It seems to be one of life's little oddities. Sure makes it easier to be queer and do crime though~

Heads up that By Firelight turned out slightly more cosmic horror and less happy-go-lucky-heist-vibes than the rest of the stories I have planned. Then again, I could say the same about the first story Introductions Without Names. Guess I'm working my way up toward the happy-found-family-heist-mood I actually had in mind for these characters 😆

Btw, I wrote the story while listening to Sword Coast Soundscapes' D&D Ambience - Night Camp in Woods and I think that might be an excellent soundtrack to reading the story as well, should anyone like to give it a try 😊

Hope everyone's had as great a Friday as I have! Wishing you all good creative vibes 💖💖💖

Thank you 🩵🩵🩵 I am ridiculously proud (and relieved) since I've been too burnt out to focus on writing for...too long. Getting to see your own progress, even if it's baby steps, really helps with exhaustion recovery 💚💚💚
