#there are these themes underlying it; playing in the background that are kinda insidious

OH man, I gotta say I'm very very curious about Priest!Bo ! XD Do you have anything to say about that one? ^^
Thank you for asking about that one! It's been in progress for over a year now, since it relates so heavily to my experiences growing up and it somehow turned into something heavier than i wanted it to be? I feel bad that I haven't finished it much earlier, bc i know there were ppl interested in it ages ago, but we shall see if I can get myself around to finishing it.
But here's a snippet! Nothing nsfw yet;;
Wednesday arrived, and mom was fussing around in the kitchen, ever since lunch. Something in the oven, making the dessert that had to be in the freezer for two hours, chopping lettuce for the salad. With her, my brother Niek and me in the kitchen, it was crowded. Dad was on the couch, feet up, watching something shitty on tv.
“Pass me the-“
“Potato salad? Here,” I handed it to her, before returning to cutting and skinning apples for the pie. They fell into the bowl with satisfying thumps. “It’s just one person coming to visit, why do we always make so much food? And it’s just Father Sinclair, not the prime-minister.”
“Don’t be rude, missy. He’s a respected member of this town and his sermons helped your father a lot after grandma passed. I know you don’t care for it, but be nice. And call him Father Bo, not Sinclair, he doesn’t like it.”
Her tone made me feel 17 again. Reaching for the ground cinnamon and sprinkled it on the diced apples.
“Watch out, she’ll do it on purpose.” Niek’s voice was refreshingly playful compared to mom’s. “Not that any of you care, but I am looking forward to this dinner tremendously.”
