The Ultimate
Yeah, it’s meant to be medieval fantasy. And I had a little fun with the world building.
Speaking of which, after that it's a pretty hot sex scene. I'm not generally into anthro stuff, but the Ursans are human-like enough, and generally the story doesn't focus too much on their nonhuman traits (aside from mentions of their muzzles during kissing), so it didn't bother me.
It took me a while to figure out what the creatures beyond the portal would actually be, such that I was well into writing the story by the time I made up my mind. So those details were added in later.
He is a bit neglectful, in the sense that he has been prioritizing his responsibilities so much that Merri isn’t getting a very big share of his attention or energy.
I had in my mind, but didn’t really put on the page, that in this world spouses are held to a slightly higher standard in terms of marital attention because marriages are time-limited.
Thanks! Looking forward to your end-of-year story.
