I cleaned up a couple of typos and touched up a few things here and there, but it's still the same story.
Cheers,

I queued this one for posting today (11/17/2023). It came to me when I was stuck in another story. It seemed funny to me when I wrote it, and perhaps you will find it funny. No worries. It's short and silly and was fun to write.
Happy Thanksgiving!

I cleaned up a few typos and split the long Chapter 13 into three chapters, which is what it should have been. It's still the same story. Thank-you very much to those who have commented.
Ellie is a romance and a love story, but a complicated one. It also involves a rape, so check the codes. The specific details of the rape are off-screen, although we learn the run-up and the aftermath.
Although there is flirtation between the narrator and his sister, there is no incest.
Thanks for reading. If you have a moment and are so inclined, please let me know what you thought.
Diana Gabaldon's sex scenes in her "Outlander" series are strong and effective and hot. Her "I Give You My Body" essay is excellent. She has excerpts on her web site.
This passage caught my eye:
"Everything in fiction writing comes down to character, and sex scenes are no exception. If you can replace your characters’ names with Dick and Jane (or Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, say*) without substantially altering your scene—you need to think again. In good sex-scene writing, this particular scene could only have happened to these two people."
*Ed. note: Just to make this balanced you may substitute "Donald Trump and [whoever]"
