Taken under the Harvest Moon
Levi stays behind when the town leaves for the harvest festival, alone on a farm that feels too old, too watchful, too alive. The animals shy from him. Strange sigils appear in the barn beams. And the earth beneath his feet pulses like a heartbeat.
When the harvest moon rises, the truth awakens with it.
The land isn’t empty.
It’s waiting.
Drawn by glowing fungi, shifting soil, and symbols carved into the barn long before the town existed, Levi is pulled into a ritual older than memory, one that marks him, transforms him, and binds him to a presence rooted deep beneath the fields. The townspeople know what he has become. The land knows what he must become next.
The claiming was not a punishment.
It was a choosing.
A dark MM eldritch romance of rural rituals, ancient harvest gods, biological awakening, and a town that survives because it sacrifices more than crops to the old powers beneath the soil.
