The Rat-Catcher’s Daughter<\/a><\/em> (2019) KJ Charles<\/a> (Lilywhite Boys)<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Set in London in 1893.<\/p>\n

Christiana is in trouble. She got into debt, then her debt was purchased by Kammy Grizzard, and she failed to follow through on what he wanted.<\/p>\n

She is surprised when two strange men break into her dressing room before Bad Things start to happen, and rescue her.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe said we\u2019d exhaust our other options before resorting to tactics anyone would regret, didn\u2019t we, Jerry?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWe did.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m exhausted.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cGod, so am I.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For those who read Any Old Diamonds<\/em>, these are the events mentioned in that story, where Templeton and Jerry save Christiana for their friend Stan.<\/p>\n

Miss Christiana would be sure he was some sort of exploitative swine\u2014 of course she would, with Temp cheerfully saying, I told her she didn\u2019t have to fuck you<\/em> as if anyone could hear a sentence like that without panicking.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But mostly it’s a sweet love story between two ace characters.<\/p>\n

Kissing people gave them the wrong idea, and it was hard to enjoy touching anyone when you were constantly wondering where they\u2019d stick their hands.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s lovely.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust because your dream isn\u2019t like someone else\u2019s dream, that doesn\u2019t make it wrong,\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
