Coil Me Up
Dear Author,
That dark-headed man, who is looking up at his lover, is me. We have been through a lot of heartache and trials, but we have finally made our relationship permanent. As two different types of snake shifters, we had to overcome some major obstacles. Our families put us through a lot of headaches trying to keep us part, but we overcame it all. Can you tell us how we managed to overcome those differences and our families to get us to where we are now, happy and so deeply in love?
Photo Description:
Two half-snake men, one a green anaconda and one a brown python, sit coiled together on rocks with their eyes half-lidded. The anaconda is sitting higher than the python. The python man is holding the anaconda man at the waist, and one hand lower on the scaly lower half. He has a tattoo on his upper right arm. The anaconda man is holding the python man’s face, while he looks down with tenderness. He has a tattoo on his left shoulder.
This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group's "Love is an Open Road" event. Group members were asked to write a story prompt inspired by a photo of their choice. Authors of the group selected a photo and prompt that spoke to them and wrote a short story.

My apologies to the authors because I appreciate how much effort goes into these stories, but this was a near DNF for me.
There were too many ideas here: mythology, family strife reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet, ancient gods, shifters, homophobia, soul bonding, insta love, reincarnation, business rivalry, shady business dealings, and a mystery to boot. I may be forgetting something.
None of the ideas was well developed; the world building was nonexistent, and the characters flat.
The story was convoluted and boring, with a staccato narrative that felt simplistic.
I can't recommend this one.

The whole story just seemed a bit flat and I felt like everything was just a bit too convenient. I managed to make it to the end but only with a bit of skimming towards the end.
