Author's note
Part Four takes the story to a new setting. It is not necessary for you to have read Parts One, Two, and Three to enjoy Part Four, though it would probably help.
The Homelands will eventually consist of fifteen parts, broken up into three trilogies. The first three parts were set in Autumn. The next three will be set in Summer. Then there will be three each set in Spring and Winter. The final three will tie everything together.
As ever, if you have questions feel free to email me. Or leave a comment. Either way, I'll try to respond in a timely manner.
This is primarily an incest story, but it is also sci-fi/fantasy, and supernatural elements are not incidental to the plot. Additionally, many chapters will feature elements of other categories, particularly group sex and anal.
All sexual acts are consensual and involve parties who are at least eighteen years of age.

"So. Turns out Glenn's not falling for the brother-sister story," Nick said.
"Is that so?" Veronica asked with a chuckle.
It was a story, was it?
Could anyone look at them and doubt that they were related? When they were kids, they were sometimes mistaken for twins. That had happened less often after puberty. But there was still more than a passing resemblance between the two of them. They looked more alike than Patty and Eric, or than either of them did to Annie.
Of course, in her experience, men didn't have as keen an eye for such matters as women did. Whether that was genetic or cultural, she couldn't have said. But maybe Glenn really didn't see it. She'd only known him for a few hours, and she already had the impression that he might be even more clueless than the average guy.
About most everything that guys tended to be clueless about.
Either way, it amused her. And excited her. It was like an opportunity for role-playing. Better still, since she hadn't requested that they pretend to be a couple, she could experience what it was like to be Nick's girlfriend without appearing clingy or anything.
"Are we that transparent?" she asked.
Her brother massaged her shoulders. "It would appear so."
Glenn stared at her, grinning, and for a moment she thought he had no right to intrude on their private moment. But then she remembered it wasn't anything of the kind.
It wasn't fair that a simple back rub could feel that good. Especially since he wasn't even trying to seduce her either. Just Nick being Nick. Damn, but his hands felt so good. Strong, yet gentle. And they knew exactly where their touch was most welcome.
Just like when they were in bed.
She forced herself back to reality. Made herself acknowledge the man staring at her, rather than getting lost in fantasies about the one standing behind her.
Her stomach fluttered, and she realized she wanted to feel his touch as well.
The truth was that Glenn wasn't even that cute. Not that he was bad looking.
But he wasn't remotely in the same league as Nick.
Of course, how could he have been? He was a mere mortal. And her brother was a god. She'd thought so for a while, and only seemed to be getting more convinced of it with time.
Before Veronica knew what they were, before she'd seen Nick's true appearance, before she'd discovered what sex with her own kind was like, she'd definitely have gone for a guy like Glenn. He was a bit too impressed with himself, and she was eating that up. She wished she wasn't, but there was no sense denying it. Confidence was sexy as hell.
Besides that, he was a bit shorter than she preferred her guys, and a bit ordinary looking. Not ugly by any means, but nothing special either. Yet he had great hair, a nice smile, and he carried himself in a way that suggested his bravado wasn't all talk.
Partly, he was having an effect on her because she'd never been the kind of girl who got that kind of attention from guys as often as she'd have liked. Not while wearing her mortal guise anyway. Which she wasn't, at the moment. But that make it any less flattering.
Of course, what was
really} getting her worked up was the way Nick was reacting. Her brother was jealous. And that was good. He was curious to see if she was really willing to take on two guys. And that was even better.
Nick needed to see that other guys thought he was lucky to have her. And he needed to know how open she was to doing whatever it took to please him.
Their mother would never agree to something like this.
"I spend most of my time in the lab," Glenn said, "but even I couldn't help but pick up on the chemistry between you two. Brother and sister my ass."
"Got us there," Veronica said with a shrug.
"I know we said we'd rather pick up some random guy we'd never see again," Nick said.
Oh, boy.
That really was where things were going.
The prospect excited her. But it made her nervous too. If they actually
had} discussed it beforehand, like they were pretending that they had, she'd have agreed to it. Now that it seemed like it was about to happen though, she found herself feeling like she might vomit. Or just needed some air. Or something to prepare herself.
Two guys at once.
Her head spun.
What do you even do with all that?
Well, she had a few ideas. It wasn't all that puzzling. But it
was} a little overwhelming.
On some level, she was aware that it was really absurd that she found the idea depraved. What was fucking your brother, then? Virtuous? But even so, it did feel like crossing a line. She'd never had sex with a guy she wasn't romantically involved with before.
Except she had, of course. She wasn't involved with Nick.
Or Eric for that matter.
But that was different. She wasn't dating either of her brothers, obviously. But neither was she some random lay to them. Some disposable piece of meat. They cared about her. Loved her, if not in the way a boyfriend might.
What was about to happen would be straight up fucking. No strings attached. Devoid of any emotional attachment or affection. Pure carnal desire.
And she was okay with that.
A little nervous, yes. And feeling guilty already, even though it hadn't happened yet. But still, overall, it was definitely something she
wanted}.
"That's okay," she said, patting her brother's hand.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"Yeah," she said, staring Glenn in the eyes.
What would it be like to stare up into those gray irises? They seemed almost blank compared to her brother's dark orbs. Would she be even more aware of the lack of any deeper connection? Would it be like staring into chips of flint?
The grin her brother's roommate gave her should have made her feel dirty.
