This One

Summary:

Set in an alternate but similar universe. Landon is a reclusive geek looking for a companion so he goes to the adoption agency to find a servant (slave). He makes an unexpected choice and ends up with a little catboy who might be more trouble than he is worth.

Notes:

I didn't have time to write this but I wrote it anyway....
It's probably going to be a short fic because my main focus is still on my longer stories.

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

In this universe there are three general classes: the upper class, the middle class, and the servant class. The upper class and middle class are congruous and allotted similar rights while the servant class is considered property of the families who employ them. Members of the servant class cannot move up in status or amass wealth of their own. It is the responsibility of families to care for the servant’s well being and insure their safety. In return the servants are to obey their masters and serve them selflessly.

Servants can be bought, sold, or traded. Most wealthy families acquire servants at birth because training from infancy is believed to create better, more devoted servants. Places that sell babies (future servants) are called adoption agencies. Adoption agencies receive babies from master’s not willing to keep their servant’s children or from mothers who decide to give up their babies. The children are raised by servants of the house and are eventually apprenticed to one of them.
