[Thorn Wilde] The Jacob & Marcus Tales: Trilogy and Other Stories


Recommended Posts

Since it's becoming clear that I am so far from finished with these two, I've decided that this collection of shorts deserves its own thread.

 

To make things simple, all stories posted about in this thread carry a mature rating and contain copious amounts of gratuitous swearing and most of them also contain a bit of a masochist kink. You have been warned. They are all betaed by the wonderful Sasha Distan.

 

 

The Jacob & Marcus Tales

 

 

The F*cking Trilogy:

 

Part One: Soft

Marcus is the maladjusted, borderline sadistic and really quite brilliant editor-in-chief of the campus newspaper, and Jacob wants him. The only problem is that Jacob is just about as maladjusted and out of touch as the object of his desire.

 

Part Two: Hard

Marcus manages his stressful life by being in control of, and on top of, everything at all times, including his lover, Jacob. But everything becomes just a little bit too much when Marcus has to deal with his dying father, the man who made his childhood a living hell, and in the end there's only one person Marcus can turn to.

 

Part Three: Weak

Marcus and Jacob have been at it for four months, but now people are starting to figure it out and it's threatening the delicate balance of their relationship. Marcus is preoccupied with writing his dissertation, and Jacob is even more angry than usual.

 

Epilogue: Strong

Ten years have passed since editorial meetings and the Student Union. Ten years since angry sex and verbal abuse. And everything is different now. Everything. Contains gratuitous swearing and angsty revelations.

 

 

Firsts

Jacob doesn't really like Oliver, but somehow he seems to be his first for almost everything. Marcus hates his life, and his dad, and pretty much everything in his dreary industrial town, but makes a go at trying out new things anyway. Two short stories set before The F*cking Trilogy.

 

 

Then Things Happened

After meeting again after ten years, Jacob comes to visit Marcus, and, in their thirties now, both men are forced to examine their feelings and consider what their futures will hold. Contains gratuitous swearing, and some domestic fluff.

 

 

Sex, Booze & Consequences

They're no good without one another. They both know that, deep down. Because when they're apart, they make some really stupid decisions. Contains gratuitous swearing and a whole lot of booze.

 

 

What Meg Said

Meg loves her parents. All three of them. But maybe, in the end, especially Pa. Contains some swearing.

 

 

Moments

A few missing moments in the lives of our dysfunctional heroes. Contains gratuitous swearing and a lot of domestic fluff.

We're drawing up on the end now. There is a second part to this story, and then there's one more story, and I think, I think, that will be it. Making no promises, of course. ;)

I read some editing threads last night and then I reread some of the series and now I'm stuck trying to work out whether "twatting," as in "twatting hell," (Soft) counts as a participle. I don't think it's in Chicago MoS.

Seeing as it's technically not even a verb, probably not. I just like verbing my nouns. :P
