Demi & Dio the Teiflings: Part Two (special preview)

Dio’s fingers swirled around the stubs of what remained of her horns. She laid down the hair brush as she looked at herself in the mirror. She had once thought that maybe, the horns would grow back in. But it had been a decade at this point and nothing had changed aside from the edges wearing down.

“Fine, be that way.” Dio dragged the brush harshly through her long hair out of frustration.

There was a knock on the front door and she set the brush down. “Who could it be so ...

Demi & Dio the Tieflings: Part One (rough draft)

Dio peered out the window, pushing back the curtains so she could see the street outside. It was still light enough outside so the sun was casting soft pink light everywhere.

“You don’t need to be nervous,” Demi chuckled.

Dio instantly released the curtain and turned back to him. “I’m not nervous!” She frowned and crossed her arms against her chest. “Just checking.”

Demi smiled knowingly as he prepared a tray of cheese and bread, setting it aside as he poured...

Atharo the Lich

Female Main Character x Male Monster (both cis)

Storms were common in your childhood home. In fact, if you were asked, you couldn’t recall a day without one. If it wasn’t thunder and lightning, it was howling winds and ice. Your father had chosen this place as his keep just for that very reason.

Having grown up with these sounds, you would have considered yourself able to sleep through anything. But you had been gifted with amazing hearing, and anything out of the ordinary wou...

Luka the Half-Orc (rough draft)

Growing up, you had a constant companion in Luka. He was the son of your mother’s lady in waiting, so the two of you had been around one another since you were born. Luka was half orc, and his father and mother had to remain separate, despite being married. You two had all sorts of adventures together, playing out the stories that you read from your story books. To you, Luka and what you created together was the whole world.

But when Luka grew older he was sent to spend time with his ...

Rafi the Orc (complete)

Female Reader x Male Monster (both cis)

Cornerstone Used Books was one of those places you wished everyone knew about, but at the same time wanted to keep a closely guarded secret. Ever since discovering it, it has become your safe haven and refuge. Traveling down the aisles made you feel like a kid again, pretending to be wandering down labyrinths to find your prince.

Every shelf was tall, almost ceiling height, and packed so full of books it was like counting stars in the sky; n...

Marek the Vampire (rough draft)

There’s a lot of storms in your neck of the woods. Enough that at certain times of year dams have to be raised that cut off parts of the peninsula from the rest of the world. The water rises high and boats are the only means of transportation. If you don’t have a boat, you’re kind of screwed.

The boat you own used to belong to your grandparents. In fact, most of what you own was once theirs. The house, your cookware, your dishes, the cats it all was once your grandparents’. You...

Update for Commissioners

I’ve been hoping to be able to get things done so I didn’t have to make this announcement, but for those of you commissioning a story from me there’s been a slight delay in production. I’ve been dealing with some things mentally and I’ve been having anxiety attacks that have wiped me from doing most things. If you’ve reserved a commission from me, the delay shouldn’t be long, but there will be a slight one. I’m so sorry, but I promise to work hard once the time comes! Thank yo...

Ben the Werewolf: Part Two (rough draft)

One morning, after removing a collection of books from the roof of your car, you came into the early shift at the library. Upon checking the returns bin at the door, you saw the Blackberry Winter book was amongst them.

“Oh good, now I can call Ben and get him off my back.” You set the book aside, as you wanted to look it over before you checked it back in.

After getting all the morning work done, you took the book and looked it over. “Something about this rings a bell. But I...

Beast the Symbiote (complete)

Female Main Character/Monster x Female Human (both cis)

I know that I am painted as the villain to the rest of the world. But What they think doesn’t matter. Least of all to me. All that does matter is that my vengeance is served. All my life I’ve held onto anger when I was told it was best to let it go. But look at where ‘letting go’ has gotten me and the people I love most. Dead. Maimed. Disfigured. I will hold onto my anger until I am satisfied.

Anomaly was the first on...

Ben the Werewolf: Part One (rough draft)

Growing up in Hearthway Hollow was pretty much the same as growing up anywhere else. You’ve had friends since you were small, and you’ve all terrorized and haunted the same places since you were old enough to be let on your own with a bike and five bucks. But unlike most places, Hearthway Hollow wasn’t the usual small town.

When you were still very young, you and your mother ran away. You can’t remember much of that evening except that you remained in your pajamas. You had never...

Valac the Demon: Part Two (complete)

Female Reader x Male Monster (both cis)

During your shift, if you are able, you go around to the animatronics around the Magician’s Treasure Tower, inspecting them for any signs of demon possession. Perhaps the dragon was the only one and he’s just an irritating accident, but your gut feeling since meeting Valac has said otherwise.

There was a karaoke bar in the music room where there’s a vampire bat animatronic that’s also a karaoke machine. It’s one of the few animatro...

Alard the Unseelie: Part Two (rough draft)

Titania was quite feared, and while she was indeed that, you knew she did all that she could out of love. She loved her kingdom, her people, and you knew she loved you. Even if keeping you, a human changeling, caused a number of dramas within the court, it didn’t matter to her.

You were raised as her shadow, mimicking and copying everything she did. You so wanted to be like her, even though you had the firm understanding there was no way you could be queen. You wanted to be tough and ...

Valac the Demon: Part One (complete)

Female Reader x Male Monster (both cis)

The Magician’s Treasure Tower was one of those strange small business mysteries. What had once been this hole in the wall hobby shop was now one of the most popular places in town. Over the years something took hold of that place and it grew, moving from a storefront that reek of money laundering, all the way to some Mcmansion looking tower with neon lights.

The former owners were long gone now, so no one really knew who owned it. One of t...

Alard the Unseelie: Part One (rough draft)

The frosty morning made itself known as you woke from slumber. The crispness of the air and the scent of cold upon your nose let you know, without looking, that outside the world would be covered in delicate frost. The labyrinth would appear like glass as soon as the sun hit it.

“Fuck, he’s going to be whiny this morning,” you grumbled as you put on your slippers. “Best nip that in the bud.” You pulled on your quilted robe and left your chambers.

For the last few days it’s been raining. But it isn’t even a very good rain, it’s been drizzling on and off just to make you think it’s going to rain. All it does is pitter patter and make things wet. You want a real rain though, a gull washer, a thunderstorm, something that feels worthy of staying indoors and reading all day. But this? No. This doesn’t even feel worthy of ignoring your laundry.

Silas the Incubus: Part Two (rough draft)

Silas sat stiffly in his chair while you sketched on the canvas. The little fairy mice darted around at his feet, climbed up the tall heels of his shoes, and swung from the very tip of his tail. He was trying to maintain his usual stern expression, but you could tell he was having an internal struggle with himself.

“You can relax,” you said.

He sat up stiff again. “You need me to pose and this is the pose I am choosing.”

I was very young when my mother passed away. I remember standing at her bedside and watching her small, pale hand fall onto the bed, never to rise again. My father never fully recuperated from the loss. While he was a good parent, it was as if he was a ghost of his former self. Everything he did felt like the memory of a memory, a movement made out of habit turned into the repetition of the ballerina in a music box.

It surprised me when my fat...

Mail Outs: Envelopes Suck

Okay, so I’ve gotten quite a few comments the envelopes I’ve been using have opened at the side and stuff has gone missing. I’ll be finding new envelopes to use and I’ll be making sure to the tape the sides of the Kraft paper envelopes I do have.

But! If this happens to you, please message me and I’ll get replacements sent out.

Silas the Incubus: Part One (rough draft)

A few years ago, during a rather routine art festival in your local town, a strange woman approached you. She bought everything in your booth, and handed you her card so you could schedule a meeting. The woman was Lady St. Clair, a wealthy aristocrat well known for her insinctricities and penchant for causing trouble amongst her own kind.

The meeting was actually a job offer for you. She hired you on as her in house artist and the pay was, to say the least, ludicrous. It would have been...

Marull was a legend when I was a young cadet. During my training he had just completed a mission, saving his whole crew and the Saint Dawn civilian port from an attack by the Criqruids. He was everywhere at that time. Everyone and anyone would talk about Marull and the work he was doing. I heard whispers from the other cadets, huddled together in the mess hall as they spoke of Marull like he was the deity of the training fields. They talke...
