“SHIP COMES IN”: OTHER WICKED LITTLE THINGS. The next section of the Norse myths story. In which Sigyn and Loki begin a marriage fit for gods and monsters. A few things to note: 1) I went through and messed with the earlier segments of the story, changing some bits of prose I hated and dropping a tiny hint or two about something I just figured out about the scene at the Bitter End.

2) This new section, which includes Sigyn’s wedding night, got significantly more frank than I expected. I guess R-rated? I’ve been sticking pretty close to Sigyn’s vocabulary and locutions (though not always to her POV), so the descriptions are sometimes slightly out-of-date because that’s how she would think about sex.

3) That said, I’m not satisfied with this section, and would welcome comments on whatever is or is not working for you with this story.

4) There’s very little Michael in this section, but you’ll get more of him in the next one, which is also the one where we meet the children.

So: click here for the story so far, here for the new scene.

Bridal books, engagement rings,

And other wicked little things…
