Welcome to FB3X Drabblerotic 2016.
A to Z Challenge 2016

This post contains adult themes
The Way Drabblerotic Works

it's really very simple. We'll write a drabble every day inspired by our word of the day and we want you to be inspired too, just write :). Our theme this year is
Animal Magnetism
And we're being inspired by the fauna of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Our word today is
C is for Cuckoo.







Contains adult themes,

Not The Same (m/m, PG, Fantasy)
by Sophie Duncan








Author's Note

The cuckoo in the nest is a well know term for someone who doesn't fit in, so that's what I went with :)

~
He was not like these people, Deacon had known that all his life: a foundling left on the shaman’s doorstep. His skin was darker. He stood head and shoulders above other men. And no-one else felt the bristling in their skin that he did when the wind blew from the South.

Arms came round him, a chin pressing at his shoulder-blade.

“Musing again, Deacon?”

He sighed: hands held him tighter.

“Come inside, Love.”

Jaco released him.

Deacon turned.

At the door of their house, his husband winked, dropping the towel from his waist. Maybe being the same didn’t matter afterall.

    4. Another great story. Where one person thinks their differences make them odd, another person loves them for those differences

    6. Great story and I like how you used the word cuckoo. Kudos for being able to do a drabble-I'd never heard of one before. I don't know if I could stop at just 100! Have a great A to Z Challenge! :D

      1. Hi there! Drabbles are an interesting challenge, because they do have so few words and I tend to be a rambler, sometimes I have to spend a long time trimming and rewriting things with more brevity ;P
