Starlight Delights is uploaded ! (Patreon)

Heya everyone !

This is to tell you that Starlight Delights is live on AO3 (AKA Archives Of Our Own) ! With chapters 1 through 5 uploaded.

I should probably give some explanation on what it is. Starlight Delights is a fan fiction I've written set in the Battletech universe. Mostly to let off some steam, and it took a life on its own. It can't be on patreon besides this announcement for obvious reasons, so, AO3 and any advance chapters will be on discord (and in the public sections, not behind a paywall).

It's written like any of my novels, except that...well, it's set in a Canopian Pleasure Circus, which is a travelling palace of hedonism. So a lot of lewd stuff, and a fair bit of it woven into the story and regular chapters. Also giant stomping Mechs because that's the entire point of the Battletech setting.

Some of my readers on discord have read it even despite not knowing Battletech. I have done my best to allow it to be a point of entry into the universe, but there's only so much I can do with a setting this big. If you're among those who have never heard of Battletech and decide to read the story, I recommend checking any term that confuses you on the Battletech wiki : https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Main_Page

Also, full 'content warning', Canopus is a matriarchy and unabashedly hedonistic. So the cast will be mostly female and it will have copious amounts of yuri.

Now, without any further disclaimers, the link to the story : https://archiveofourown.org/works/92833461/chapters/247588086

Oh, and the story has been set so that guests can comment, so you do not need an AO3 account (or if you want to stay anonymous).

And the Blurb for those who want to get a better idea of the story before going in :

///

Mystra is an agent of ROM, the secret service of the Comstar Order, the shadowy organization behind interstellar communications and the HPG network, and a Mechwarrior, the legendary soldiers that pilot the ultimate weapon of war: Battlemechs. Towering machines of war and annihilation, striding across the battlefield to deliver death and destruction.

Unfortunately, an unexpected skirmish goes catastrophically wrong for Mystra. Narrowly surviving a devastating strike thanks to the help of a fellow ROM agent, Vayly, she finds herself rebuilt into a cyborg commando of the Manei Astra, ROM's elite experimental warriors.

So why, by the Forlorn Void, does Mystra finish training to find out both she and Vayly have been assigned to the Starlight Delights? A Canopian Pleasure Circus, a floating palace among the stars dedicated to hedonism, sex, and indulging whatever dreams and desire their clients may have on the worlds it visits.

And why is she so excited by this, whether she wants to admit it or not? Why does it feel like she has finally found a place where she belongs, away from the suffocating halls of Comstar? And when the time comes...will she upholds her oaths to the Order, or protect her newfound home?
