Summary
"Say you belong to me."
As fisher folk celebrate the last catch of the season, Cassandra, the rope maker, watches her old friend, Jacob, dance with another woman. Prickling with jealousy, she decides to claim him as her own. But more unfolds between them in the moonlit cove than she ever expected.
CW: reference to orphanhood
This piece draws on Thomas Keightley's story, The Soul Cages, published, I have to admit, a very little bit after the Regency period. It's about a fisherman who makes friends with a merrow (a sort of merman) and subtly releases the souls he keeps in cages, as they drink together. When the merrow realises what the fisherman is doing, he vanishes.
Written for Regency Femdom Week 2020. It's a pretty light version of the dynamic, but hey I was feeling soft.
