Welcome to Rainbow Snippets!
Every Saturday or Sunday those participating post and share six sentences of LGBTQIA+ fiction on their blogs. It can be their own. It can be someone else’s. It just needs to be LGBTQIA+.
To read various samples from different LGBTQIA+ stories, go to…

For my own, here’s a little more from the version of At Her Service I’m expanding. This is a little longer than six sentences for the sake of coherency, forgive me…
“Ariella is right,” the Lady Ariella said. Yes, we had the same name once upon a time. “How can you say this is not her home? Her father lives here. She grew up here.”
“Why are you defending her, Ariella?” The lady of the chateaux paused, sounding hurt, even betrayed. “The only reason she grew up here, the only reason her father lives here is because he inherited it from his father and his father before him, going back all the way to the scoundrel whom stole it from the first Ariella, our ancestor.”
Sheesh! And I thought *I* could carry a grudge! *takes notes*

Bizarrely enough my inspiration for this story was the origins of the Salic law. Women could no longer inherit the French throne because one greedy uncle wanted to steal it from his niece.

Sounds like quite the tangled web! I’m quite glad not to be royalty.

Yikes, there is a lot of anger and not unjustified, but poor Ariella having it taken out on her.

Can’t say that I blame her for being angry but her rage seems to have found the wrong target

Ah, grudges that transcend generations can be so damaging. How does she know what she’s been told about that ancestor is even legit?
