Hey guys, here's a cast of characters for Love in the Balance! The story is getting quite a bit more involved than I expected, so I thought it would be nice to have a cast of characters that can be referenced. Unlike the cast of characters for Birthday Pool Party, I'll only list characters that are mentioned more than once.
Most of the information will pretty generic and shouldn't have many spoilers, but there might be a couple of minor ones. Love in the Balance takes place in the same universe as Birthday Pool Party and all my other stories, so there may be some overlap.
Please note that Love in the Balance is a work of fiction. I might use parody names for pop culture references: including songs, books, movies, and celebrities. However, they are not meant to accurately represent the real people or media. This is a fictional universe. As always, this is a world without STI's, and everyone involved in sexual activity is at least eighteen years old.

~Introduction~
My first couple of stories were one-offs featuring the same couple of characters. Then I started Birthday Pool Party, which grew into a massive series. I wanted to take a break from Birthday Pool Party and expand on my original characters. So, I came up with an idea that I was hoping would be a standalone story I could enter in the 2025 Valentine's Day contest on Literotica.
That didn't work out.
The story grew into something much bigger than I had anticipated and I ended up with a second series. I'm definitely enjoying writing Love in the Balance, and while it is a standalone series, there is quite a bit of crossover with my other works. I hope you enjoy Love in the Balance, whether you read my other stories or not.
I write in a world with out sexually transmitted infections(STI's). This is a fantasy world, and STI's suck, so why should they exist in a fantasy world? In addition, this world has an amazing form of birth control that is over 99% effective, and essentially stops menstruation. This enables characters to engage in sexual behavior that would be considered very risky if they occurred in real life. Also, there are a lot of characters, and keeping track of every woman's cycle would be a nightmare! I repeat, this is a fictional world!
I'm going to split the cast of characters into sections for easier reference. Some will be main characters, while others might only appear a handful of times. Finally, there will be the cultural references section. As a result of this being a unique universe, there are various fictional forms of media. Many of them are essentially parodies of real works, and you'll be able to figure out which they are! Other times they are completely fictional. Either way, I decided to add them in here for easy reference.
Thank you to everyone who reads my stories; I appreciate every view, vote, and comment!
