I'm the Demon Lord & A Single Dad C8-16
🕑 Added 2022-04-11 14:18:53 +0000 UTCSo here's a little backstory from the real world about this story.
As some of you know, I'm a father, I lost my eldest son from a rare case of spinal meningitis back in 2013 shortly after his 13th birthday, and the impact was about what you'd expect, not to go into too much detail here, but my wife fell into a dark place and I couldn't properly mourn because I had to take care of the other children. Unsurprisingly, we grew closer.
My younger princessboo, commonly referred to as 'My Fifikins' by yours truly, has always loved stories and 'dadu time' in particular. And every now and when she and the others were little, I did something I called 'The Dadu Story Challenge' where they would give me a few basic parameters, and I would try to build a story from those things on the fly.
Well a few weeks ago, she suggested the idea of a demon lord who is trying to raise his daughter alone. I liked the idea, but sat on it after taking a few notes, as I was working on 'Masks & Shadows' for a client at the time. But as you can see, I recently picked it up, aaaand it's on. The title is tentative, it'll probably change, but I hope you really enjoy the story, some of the elements of his struggle to take care of his daughter will be rooted in the struggles I had to face when my world, and my wife, fell apart in the grim days after my eldest son's passing.
Parts of this story as it unfolds, may make you cry, parts of it, if you have good parents, may make you want to call your own and tell them you love them, and parts of it may make you angry... but that's what good stories do, they make us think and feel things, good and bad alike, and I hope it does this for you.
Thank you for reading, and thank you for your support.
