Petals of the Chrysanthemum Intro:

(Uploaded, October 8, 2023)

This is the introduction to a Lackadaisy AU story idea I had, even before I began writing Blood and Liquor. The prologue is complete, and Ihope to have it uploaded before the end of the month.

This story will be a multi-AU, primarily following Lackadaisy, with elements from other webcomics and movies. The world will take place in the Lackadaisy universe but will contain both humans and other animal species. Lackadaisy's setting of Saint Louis will contain mostly cats like the webcomic. The story, outside of the prologue and flashbacks, will begin in late 1924, around mid-October, before continuing to the start of the webcomic. As such, I highly recommend you read the comic first, as this story will contain many characters, elements and spoilers. This story will be rated M for graphic depictions of violence, gore, period racism/sexism (minimal), adult themes such as groping, brief non-con, nudity, and explicit sexual content.
