King Emeritus Michaelis thought he was looking forward to retirement. His son Gregory is thriving as the new king, and Michaelis has no deadlines or meetings -- he can fish and hike to his heart's content. Still, after a lifetime governing a country, it's turning out to be difficult to fill his days. He's boring both himself and the royal librarian with his memoirs, and looking for a new challenge, when he happens on the Reverb Podcast Network and its executive producer, Jes Deimos. Jes is home after living as an expat for most of their life, and wasn't expecting a friendship with the former king any more than he expected one with them. Jes is wary, even after Michaelis offers them recording space in the royal fishing lodge where he's living. Still, Jes and their son Noah are willing to teach a few lessons in podcasting, and their presence makes Michaelis's quiet life a little easier to cope with. He can even flirt with Jes in perfect safety, knowing nothing's ever going to happen -- until suddenly it does... The total wordcount for Infinite Jes is roughly 50K words.
