This story is actually a spinoff of an original story of mine, Sixth Sense (still a work-in-progress). I started it to explore different dynamics between my characters, then it grew into a story of its own.
Important note: This story does not have a proper conclusion. It also ends on a cliffhanger. I'm mean, sorry. I wrote it for fun, and only wanted to write about Nathaniel's interactions with the two other main characters. Feel free to think up your own conclusion...or beat me up forever for it.
Deuce is inspired by the mecha and space sci-fi genre, taking lots of inspiration from the Gundam series. As this was a quick thing, there's not much worldbuilding so there are many plotholes! You can ask me about them but chances are, I only know the answer to 1/10 questions.
Note that the protagonist, Nathaniel Blair, is non-binary and referred to as they/them throughout the story.
Warning: This story contains war violence, discussions of traumatic injury and multiple threats of violence and murder
It also contains art by me!
