Convincing you to read my story, Fruit of the Wicked!
Set through June 2015 until October 2016 in the deep American south, Fruit of the Wicked follows a young woman, Sheridan “Dani” Wallis/Wayes through her kidnapping and captivity by “Jack,” a seasoned serial killer with a knack for religious persecution, and his daughter, Sarah. With her only hope at escape being her friend Max, and Jack’s daughter herself, Dani settles down for the traumatic ride of a lifetime.
Below will be listed some themes and tropes present in the story, some overarching content warnings, and where you can read it (spoiler for that part, it’s right on tumblr!) Hope to see you again soon!
Themes and Tropes Present in Fruit of the Wicked:
Fruit of the Wicked, at its core, was written for the whump community, so, expect elements of that throughout the story!
Violence against women, especially through a Christian lens
I don’t feel comfortable calling this a southern gothic story—I am not from the American south—but elements of southern gothic storytelling and the environment itself indicate my love and inspiration for it!
Kidnapping + Captivity
Familial trauma and breaking cycles versus being doomed to repeat them
Isolation and its affects on a person
Hope and despair intertwined (ambiguous ending pending)
And, to top it all off, a final girl
Some content warnings:
Kidnapping + Captivity
Violence against women
Religious violence
Sexual assault and other various non-consensual acts, such as drugging
Assault in general
Various kinds of abuse—domestic, childhood, etcetera
Harm to animals and children (non-descriptive)
Incompetent and harmful law enforcement
Human trafficking
You can read Fruit of the Wicked right here on tumblr, or, if you’d prefer, on Archive of Our Own! Granted, my postings on AO3 are behind, but, I plan on catching up! Promise!
I would really enjoy any reblogs or comments you could throw my way. Reblogs help the story reach others, and comments go into my little comment jar that make me feel super good about myself and my writing. Thank you for reading this! I hope you enjoy the story

organ harvesting industry where rich people pay to have themselves replicated for a perfect genetic match. Is it done in an emergency? Or are they created "just in case" and live their whole lives knowing what they were made for?
human experimentation. Don't worry, it's "ethical", they're not really people, they just have all the material we need to cure horrible diseases quicker. Don't you want that?
beyond medical experiments, what about testing new weapons? Testing the limits of the human body?
Clones are also found to be useful on the front lines. Just bodies for the meat grinder. Distractions, or simply disposable. Sent to recklessly attack the front gates of a compound so the special teams can extract prisoners. And if the clones get captured? No loss. Their short training period made sure to indoctrinate them. They know there's nothing more noble than dying following orders.
Maybe every career that faces high risks has a clone on the team. The first one into a dangerous area, the scout, the sacrifice. They know better than to question it.
what about menial labor? It's fine, they popped into the world fully grown and that's all they've ever known. Don't talk to them about freedom or leisure; they just wouldn't understand.
people paying to clone someone they know. Maybe someone they hate, maybe a celebrity crush, maybe just a stranger they saw in passing and found attractive. It's in poor taste to openly talk about what you do to someone else's clone, but what you do behind closed doors is nobody's business.
Just to add something.... clones as livestock. Clones made as special meats for the wealthy. Sometimes they're butchered beforehand, sometimes they're given live to the buyer. Underground meat sales... code words for different cuts... clones escaping with what little they know about the world. Recovery groups based around these meat sales but nobody believes them. (Or they're silenced). Hmmmm much to think about.
cloning as an enticing source of passive income. People being able to upload themselves to a database and they get royalties every time their scan/DNA are used
maybe someone is behind on bills and does it out of desperation, then later regrets it when they see what their copy is used for. Too late though! The company already owns the rights to their image
some people build livelihoods around this practice, doing everything they can to gain influence and fame and make their scan more sellable
clones of the same person seeing each other in passing and wondering

scrolled past this and thought it was worth sharing! by connorgallic on Instagram
[image text: this feels illegal but when insurance denies a claim I don't accept it. I call and say "I'd like to file a formal appeal". First appeal: denied. I file again. "I'd like to escalate to an external review." External review means someone outside the insurance company decides. They approved it. $6,400 bill became $0. Same claim. Same procedure. Different answer. 80% of people never appeal. 90% of external reviews get approved. They deny first hoping you'll give up. Don't.]
