Hi. If you're here it must be because you want to read my very long, very kinky indulgence fic Coming of Age.

I'm not sure what to say here. My instinct is to try and put people off, which is silly. You're all adults and can make up your own minds whether a story like this is for you. Here follows a brief description of how I came to write the story in this rather bizarre way and some of what you can expect in it.

Firstly, I've been writing it on and off since February and it's very long indeed - 190,000 words exactly. I know this because all the sections are exactly 1000 words long. Quite why I decided to stick so religiously to this format, I can't now remember but I have done so all the way through, except for the epilogue, which is 2000 words. The story is long and rambly and though there is plot, things grind to a halt quite frequently for various kinky goings on and sometimes the way the story is set up - two parts from one character's POV followed by one part from another character's POV - slows things down a lot. Just warning you in case you're the impatient type.

Other details, as follows:

Setting: An AU, glass-darkly version of AtS season 5, though the plot also diverges in various places from points earlier in the series. Hopefully, these will be self-explanatory.
Pairings: Spike/Angel, Spike/Wesley
Rating: Very NC17 and containing the following bits of nastiness - non-con and semi-non-con, sexual torture, medical kink etc etc. This started off as a slave fic so it also contains the sorts of elements you'd expect to find in those, such as humiliation, objectification etc. There're also some gruesome bits and - because I know some people are very sensitive about these things - there is one chapter where a dog meets an unpleasant end.

Okay, having done my utmost best to put you off, if anyone still wants to read the fic, please leave a comment below and I'll friend you. All fic posts will be flocked.

Friend!

Hi. I'd be happy to friend you, but felt I should point out first that this LJ is where I keep all my darker, slashier fics. If that's what you're after, then fine. If it's not, my other work can mostly be found on my website, Distorting Mirrors.

a revisit

Hi,

Thinking of this incredible story - which had me living like a hermit for days until I could finish it - brought me back to LJ after years and years. I just wanted to see if I could read it again and gain access to it. I hope that you still check these comments and still let new folks in/old lurkers back on. If not, well, let me just put my voice out there in the void that Coming of Age is INCREDIBLE and you should be commended, and I wanna read agaaaaain please.

Hi. Happy to friend you, but do take heed of the warnings on the stories. Some of them are very dark indeed.

This fic comes highly recommended and I would love a chance to read it. Thanks.

Hi. I'm sorry to have been so slow responding to your comment. I don't log in to this LJ as often as I should.

Happy to friend you, though if you find you don't like the stories, I'd be grateful if you could defriend again on leaving. Thanks.

Your fics

[identity profile] invernessloch.livejournal.com 2013-05-11 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Hello!

I've been on a mad spangel fic hunt and I happened to discover some of your fics on an awards website atjustwolfe. And I was wondering if it would be possible for you to friend me as I would really love to read all of your fics.

Thanks!

Re: Your fics

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2013-05-14 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi.

I'd be happy to friend you if you can confirm you're over 18. There's no info on your profile page.

Also, this LJ is where I keep all my more adult rated slash fics. Not all of them are dark in tone but a lot are. If that's what you're looking for I'm happy to friend you, as I said.

Let me know.
