I once wrote gay comics and women’s BL. I’m a RETIRED production writer and focus now on serial fiction. I do not do 'sub for sub,' thank you. :)

Titus is back, but this episode finds us visiting Villa Servi in the head of Maxima Ursia (yes, she's Actus's 'old' sister) who is now married to Titus. Don't worry, next episode features Aedan and Welle planning some wild things.
I lost a subscriber after yesterdays update. I'm sorry for the heterosexuality - it happens. If its the trans characters, sorry for that too - but transfolks existed in Ancient Rome.
Not sure why I was notified of losing a sub here - I don't have enough readers at Tapas to warrant the attention. Not that I don't care about readers here, but my work doesn't really gel with the Tapas readers too much, so most of my subs/readers are at Bear House or AO3.gay.
To those five people still reading here at Tapas, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Two new episodes up - FYI I always post around 10am on new post days.
They're dialogues, so they'll read fast. I did warn about homosexuality, so please be advised.

There’s so much going on in real life at the moment, and I’m struggling desperately to stay focused on TLTO. I managed to hammer out some dialogue, simple conversations amidst a social gathering for a feast given by Skipio and Vita as the new owners of the plantation and villa.
Conversations are all I can muster this month – it’s been so hard.
I haven’t felt this creatively stunted since since 2010 – and I took a two year writing break to shake that shit off. I will attempt to post something in the next few days – but what I have isn’t something I’m proud to put out there. :/ It’s filler that’s not advancing the plot in anyway, except for perhaps one conversation between Aedan and Welle that will lead to a major plot point episode in January.
Sorry.

Sorry.
The Lion & The Owl will be back in December. Until then, here is Funko Pop style Aedan and Skipio via the 'Pop Yourself' prompt at Microsoft Designer.
The hateration in this dancery! 🤣
To be fair, this is the first negative comment I've gotten in 30 chapters. I cannot complain. Also - I'm glad my theme allows for private comments because if this was open to others, my Bear House readers would've textually beaten the crap out of this one.
Another thing I noticed - they subscribed but only visited the first episode to comment - that tells me they're from Tapas or AO3, I doubt they're from Pixiv.

New chapter is up - I know, that's 2 this month because November will be very busy for me away from the computer.
This chapter get's a bit dirty - poor Welle and Niko... oh, and Aedan finally get's to find out what a 'Delphine' is. The best rat defense north of the Lario.

ANNOUNCEMENT - I posted something along these lines before, which bears repeating.
There is ZERO pressure on any creator to read my story if I have subbed to yours. Tapas is just one of four platforms that TL&TO releases on, and a majority of its 'readers' are at Bear House Serials.
Also, TL&TO isn't for most tastes. If you've come to TL&TO via reciprocity (sub for sub) please know that if anything bothers you, stop reading and unsubscribe. You're not obligated to keep reading because I subscribe to your series nor are you obligated to stay sub'd.
On that note, I will unsubscribe from a story if it loses me or I just can't stay with it. It's not personal, and if you unsubscribe because I unsubscribed—fine, no harm, no foul.
Good luck!
