Jurisdiction
Eric / Triton
Prince Eric has learned what follows after the fairytale ends.
Three years after his marriage concludes in mutual departure rather than failure, his kingdom continues to function through discipline, competence, and adaptation. When the sea itself begins to interfere through inverted tides and sudden storms, Eric responds as he always has. He adjusts.
What he does not expect is the god who has been watching from the deep.
Triton has been observing him with care, measuring endurance, restraint, and the cost of rule carried without complaint. He has been waiting for Eric to fracture under pressure. Eric does not break, and that steady refusal to yield draws the attention of forces that do not mistake patience for mercy.
Their first confrontation should have ended the matter. Instead, it marks an opening.
Beneath the conflict between land and sea, other intelligences remain alert. Not every watcher announces itself with storms, and not every debt is claimed by a god. Some bargains are older, quieter, and enforced with precision.
Jurisdiction is a queer fairytale retelling set after the happily-ever-after, where two rulers discover that respect can become desire, that yielding is not weakness, and that the space between land and sea is controlled by powers that always demand payment.
