Have you ever made love with a sibling, a twin, or someone you've known literally all your life? Studies suggest that most siblings experiment with sexual play to a degree, and that usually ends when puberty arrives.

Two souls in 1870s America. One is a tailor, living on the Great Plains and trying to escape his ghosts and his pain. The other is a teacher, dismissed from her Pennsylvania classroom after daring to advocate for women's suffrage. Both are bloodied by life, but refuse to break. This is their journey to finding themselves and each other. Caution: the "rape" code, while necessary to the story, is *not* treated erotically.
Inspired by the songs "Mr. Tanner" and "Mail Order Annie" by Harry Chapin

A middle-aged widower, his old flame, her jealous husband and their families. Ordinary people attempt to deal with jealousy and its aftermath while trying to be true to their own moral code. Perhaps they make mistakes, being human. The title translates as 'Love conquers all things,' [Virgil Eclogues 10]. Does love conquer all here? This story is slow even by my standards.
