  • so people looking for hot gorgon smut can find it
  • assuming they don't mind references to a 14yo D&D tie-in novel
  • that in all honesty wasn't that great
  • also "lesbian" is a stretch given medusas don't have gender
  • but my Eberron medusas DO have tusks and brass claws like Greek gorgons

  Summary

  In which Thorn of Breland stayed in the Great Crag slightly longer than in canon ... enough for her and Sheshka to explore their feelings.
