Sunday Six: And Then There Were Four

Each Sunday, post six sentences from a writing project — published, submitted, in progress, for your cat — whatever.

Today’s Sunday Six (which has more than six sentences, but we’ll ignore that for now) is from a Fletcher-Flynn Foundation Fluff piece called “And Then There Were Four”, about integrating Vanessa into the Foundation.

I’m not sure if I’ll ever finish this bit, so…here you go.

They’d returned to Ferb’s parents’ house after the rehearsal dinner. Vanessa sat on the couch, enjoying a brief chance to rest before her wedding tomorrow - for all that she’d wanted a small, simple wedding, there had still been a bunch of things she’d had to do. (Even if half of them boiled down to ‘telling Mom to back off’.)

As she grabbed the remote, Ferb’s voice came from the kitchen. “Vanessa, can you come here for a minute?”

She sighed and walked over; Ferb was at the kitchen table with Phineas, Isabella, and a bunch of paperwork. “What’s up?” she asked curiously. “I thought we’d done the marriage license preparation already.”

"We have, love," he said. "This is your wedding present from the three of us." He slid the topmost piece of paper over to her. "One-fourth ownership of the Fletcher-Flynn Foundation. An equal share with us."

She sat in the offered chair, hard. “I…I don’t have anything like this for you.”

Status: With My Fic Or On It, Day Seven

Two scenes of smut written, Ferb and Gretchen's first time and a coerced-consent BDSM scene between Monty and Vanessa. Two more to go, a Ferb/Gretchen consensual BDSM scene and their wedding night. Word count: 19303.

Status: Under Contract First Draft Complete

I'm thinking that I'm going to cut the fourth (wedding night) smut scene, as it really feels tacked-on and superfluous. And, really, if anybody's read that far, it ain't just for the smut. So I'm going to call the first draft complete as it is.

Final word count for first draft: 20182. Final scene needs some rework and update, I'm guessing final word count at about 20500.

Summary: Alternate Universe: Slavery. Gretchen finds herself unexpectedly sold as an indentured servant in a world where that’s a euphemism for slavery; can her boyfriend Ferb rescue her and keep her safe? Meanwhile, Vanessa has been framed for a crime she didn’t commit and sentenced to indenture as well. What would Doof offer Perry for his help in freeing her from the clutches of Monty Monogram? Trope bingo: slavefic; Kink bingo: power exchange.
