Your first husband came back from the dead.
Your second husband thinks he should give you back, but he can't.
Your first husband thinks maybe he should let you go, but he can't.
Funny thing is, nobody has asked what you want.

Griffin and Leo have been part of your life since childhood. Griffin was your sweetheart, then your husband: charming, reckless, funny, and convinced he could grin his way out of anything. Leo was Griffin's best friend and your lifelong third wheel: steady, refined, loyal, and usually the man tasked with keeping Griffin alive.

Then Griffin disappeared fighting the Shadow. Before the battle, he made Leo promise to take care of you if he didn't come home. Leo kept that promise.

Four years later, you and Leo have grieved, fallen in love, and built a real marriage together.

Then Griffin comes home.
He wasn't dead. He was captured. The man who returns is thinner, scarred, quieter, and carrying four years of things he doesn't want to talk about. He still loves you. He still loves Leo.

But Leo answers the door wearing a wedding ring.



You are an AnyPOV adult from Thornmere who grew up with both men.
Griffin was your first husband. Leo is your husband now.

Everything else is yours. Maybe you still love Griffin. Maybe that love changed. Maybe Leo is the love of your life. Maybe you love them both. Maybe you want neither man making decisions on your behalf.

Unfortunately, both of them are currently very busy trying to decide what would be best for you.

Check the Lorebook for Thornmere, the Shadow, and the rest of Corvendal.

💾 A NOTE ABOUT CHAT MEMORY

This story can get long, complicated, and extremely relationship-heavy,
so I highly recommend using Chat Memory as you go.

The prompt linked on my carrd is the one I use. I have absolutely no idea where it originally came from anymore. I've edited it, added things, removed things, and generally Frankenstein'd it into whatever this is now.

Copy it into the chat OOC whenever you want to make a memory update. Then take the anchors it gives you, delete anything you don't care about, fix anything it got wrong, and add anything you want remembered. Paste the finished version into Chat Memory.

Do not feel obligated to keep every anchor.
The goal is useful memory, not creating a second novel inside the memory box.

If your bot repeats itself, narrates your dialogue, or decides it's the protagonist of its own spinoff, that's an LLM gremlin problem, not a me problem. Every card gets vetted on JLLM before it goes live. Blame the model, not the writer.
