Poignant and sensual by turns, THREE KINGS is the story of a fishing captain and a male witch who open their marriage to a selkie.
Ethan and Peter have been trying for a baby, but Ethan is worried he might be infertile as a result of the desperate magic he used to bring Peter back from the dead three years ago. When Peter brings home a dead seal, Ethan is convinced it’s actually a selkie and brings it back to life as well. It turns out Ethan was right, and as Nico recovers in their care, the three of them start bonding.
I enjoyed this! It’s fully able to stand alone, though I would be interested in more stories in this setting or with these characters. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I like it even though it deals with a topic (fertility) that I normally have zero interest in.

Notes on consent: because we are introduced to a long-time couple (married and with each other for more than 10 years), a lot of the consent throughout their intimacy will start with verbal initiation and then it's largely assumed from there. Scenes between all three characters are written in more of a surreal style and don't show every interaction or conversational beat. The primary couple are attempting pregnancy throughout and there is brief discussion of how the third character can interact with them.potalian's review
