Books A-Baking

I've realized I'm terrible at posting longer works chapter-by-chapter, which is why I haven't posted any writing on here in close to a year. I've been writing plenty, but nothing that's finished enough to share (have finally learned not to post WIPs - turns out that pre-sharing things kills my writing momentum :/).

Therefore, I've tried to figure out a way to a) practice writing shorter stories + b) get to share things while also not posting full on WIPs. This story 'collection' is my attempt at a solution! I've made up a setting, some characters and a vague plot, and now I'm just going to write short stories about them whenever the mood strikes me. These stories will not be as polished(?) as my other ones, they're even more just-for-fun. We'll see how long I can keep it going.

The short stories in this series will be listed in the order they've been written in. This will likely not be the chronological order of events. We shall see.

Summary: This is the story of a man who ends up immortal completely on accident. This immortality turns out to be contagious. How? Why? He has no idea. It seems to be one of life's little oddities. Sure makes it easier to be queer and do crime though~

Tags & Tropes: Characters grieving over the fact that they're attracted to people with gremlin personalities, immortality that's contagious, eldritch horrors(?) who really like music, heists, grifting, found family becomes loose polycule, "the horrors persist but so do I", people refusing to communicate despite their friends begging them to use their words because feelings are scary, random time and space travel, a space train.
