Preserved in Amber

Nix and his girlfriend reunite with their childhood friend, Reve, after ten years without contact. Tensions resurface, and Nix's world begins to break down, his entire life jeopardized by the reintroduction of the most important relationship he has ever had.

(Pretentious queer NaNoRenO kinetic novel with overwrought prose that I made as an exercise in fighting my perfectionism and actually finishing something even if it's unpolished. Hovering a lot on whether I think it is a good idea to post this but w/e, hope someone finds enjoyment in it. It's a bit over 10k words.)

Content warnings: while this VN does not directly deal with these topics, there are references to sensitive family situations in the characters' backstories -- an addict mother and domestic abuse. They are not big enough to be considered spoilers, but be aware if you need a warning like this. If you come for romance you will probably also be a bit let down, the gay stuff is there but it's more uncomfortable than wholesome.
