Fox of Fox Hall
2024 is about halfway through and I am so tired. It has been s t r e s s f u l. But that is also probably why I have written what is possibly the lightest thing (by my standards) I have done in a while.
Fox of Fox Hall
an m/m fantasy romance about Fox, who is not a fox (but he does have a tail), but is often called Foxlike. He's also called the King's Fox a lot, because he was (is???) the king's lover and the king raised him up from obscurity to be the court musician and perhaps also to entertain the king by being clever, and a bit cruel.
Fox is also miserable, and lonely, and certain he is finally about to be tossed from court despite his friendship(??? situationship??) with the king because the king is actively seeking a consort. Or is supposed to be. The court, while awful, is the closest thing to a home Fox has ever known, so he is stressed and devastated but forced to pretend that he isn't.
Enter one knight. *The* knight. The most famous knight in the land and infamously the one knight not especially afraid of the king. He offers Fox a place to stay while the castle is crowded with potential consorts and their families. He also... might be in love with Fox. Not that Fox would have any idea because Fox does not think of himself as someone to be loved. No one ever has, and even the king has tossed him aside. And Fox is... a bit ashamed of being cruel and clever on the king's command. The knight, Conall, is out to convince him of the truth.
Fox has no idea about this either.
All of which makes it sound serious, but I assure you, it's people with tails wearing pretty clothes and cuddling and fucking and Fox being charmed despite his worries.
