Junko's Space

I 20s (F) have a 20s (M) fiancé, V, and he’s been talking about this terrible secret he cannot tell me and he keeps almost starting to come out and then backing out. The issue is V and I were raised together by his parents, and my surrogate 40s (M) father and (now deceased) surrogate mother arranged for our marriage back when we were both children. They thought it was the best for us and at the time we were too young to realize the implications and had no reason to reject to the match. When we were teenagers our mother was on her deathbed and she told us again that she wished for us to marry, and of course we both agreed. However, V is also best friends with a 20s (M) guy called H, and they were nearly inseparable as boys and teens. They also went to university together and shared an apartment but V had to come home due to family reasons. Lately he’s been going out all day and coming home at night hours later. He insists that he’s fine and that we all leave him alone and not worry for him, but I think he and H have been sneaking around. He even delayed our wedding day by arranging a trip to go to England alone with H. It’s exhausting for all of us and I think I should just tell V I know and support him and that we can call off the marriage, but I’m not sure that’s the best course of action? I’m completely fine with not marrying him - he always felt more like a brother to me anyway - but I worry it might come off wrong. The worst part is he’s really beating himself up about it. He’s so guilty it’s beginning to take a toll on his health. I don’t care if he has a boyfriend I just want him to be happy.

In Frankenstein, Elizabeth actually writes to Victor when he's in England (having swanned off with Henry, as described above, ostensibly to make the creature a wife.) In the letter, Elizabeth asks Victor if he's into someone else.

Like, straight-up, you guys.

She's like, you've been gone a long time with your bestie... And, is pretty much fishing to see if it is, in fact, Henry that Victor is into. She's all, "the love you show me is like that of a devoted brother to his sister," and she points out that maybe this isn't the same ardor that she feels towards him. And, she's very "Hey, it's cool, man. We can call off the wedding...."

Sadly, Victor writes back to deny it all.

But people who think we're writing queer into everything aren't reading carefully. It's right there.

The crossover I want?

FullMetal Alchemist and Frankenstein.

Ed: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Victor: I am wretched. I am haunted!

Ed: WELL, YEAH, ME AND AL, TOO. YOUR POINT? WAS IT HARD TO MAKE, WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS? *whispers* What about equivalent exchange?

Victor: I can't tell you. No one should know. But I made it at least twice. I had some "successes" before the Creature.

ED: What?

I'm excited!

One of the reasons I haven't been publishing much Bleach fic lately is because I've been busy writing a book.

My new publisher is a small press in the UK called Wizard's Tower, but feel free to check out any of my previous works including those from Penguin, etc. If you are a fan of my romance, I wrote a bunch straight romance as Tate (I know, it's as weird for you imagine as it was for me to write it.) Otherwise, my Lyda stuff is science fiction.
