about

  •  Author :  Wen

  •  Genre  :  Romance

  •  Chapters so far  :  15

Chains of Blood and Aether is a screenshot series following the narrative format and the aesthetics of an indie romance novel.
It has started as a passion project from Lamwen's player aimed at self distraction before the author started dragging her poor frinds into that mess. A great deal of these encounters have been role-played, registered and then photographed to be shared with whoever would like to read it.
It tells the story of recently-divorced a scientist who happens to fall for a mysterious wounded man who she happened upon after being guided by her pet rabbit. Things soon prove to be deeper than expected, and not even her friends managed to get away from the mess that ensues.

Picturingon the dimensions of a 18x24 paperback. Elezen duaric couple embracing. Female elezen has her purple hair in a bun, is wearing a labcoat and holds an ice crystal while, with the other hand, reaches to the back of the male Elezen's neck. Male Eleze
