The Story Aerie

  • Summary

  • The Story Aerie podcast is an audio version of The Story Aerie webserial by Jess Mahler and Raidon Phoenix. The stories are a variety queer chosen family stories centering character growth and community. Most stories are SFF, but there are a few oddballs mixed in as well. Stories are told in season format, with story length ranging from 1 to 6 seasons (so far). Story chapters are 10-15 minutes long, perfect for listening to on a work break or while running a quick errand. For now The Story Aerie podcast will be posting irregularly, but aiming for twice a month. Eventual goal is post three times a week, the same as the webserial. Members of https://members.story-aerie.com/membership-account-2/membership-levels/ (The Story Aerie) get early access through our newsletter and website. Currently posting: Bound by His Oath (available as https://books2read.com/u/4ELPMz (ebook)) Reimund Swiđhun has it made. With the king's blessing, he will capture Lady Mildthryth, marry her, and finally have land to call his own. Lady Mildthryth Rúna has been fighting off would-be 'suitors' for months. She will marry on her terms or not at all. On their world, a noblewoman is expected to marry and accept her subordinate place. Unfortunately for Reimund, Milthryth's people have other traditions. She refuses give up and be a broodmare for any of the knights and lordlings the king sends after her. And before long, she has Reimund right where she wants him. For Reimund, the only thing more shameful than being captured by a woman is bending knee to one, but he will do what he must to keep his friends and followers safe. Even if it means spending the rest of his life Bound by His Oath. Content notes -- culture clash, misogyny, too stoic for his own good, noncon marriage, dubcon sex, not too much sex, explicit sex, Lady/knight, lost colony sci-fi, the Ancestors would be disappointed in you, assumptions screw everyone (in a bad way), mother-in-law saves the day, violence, Sir John calls it like he sees it (damn it, John!), all you need is friends, shame is toxic, the king is an asshole.
