Zaejin the Troll & Perik the Room Monster: Part Two (special preview)

“Shit,” you grumbled under your breath. “I think I fucked it up again.” Under the cover of an old dish towel was a bowl, filled with an unimpressive and somewhat liquidy lump. You tossed the towel aside and dumped the lump onto the floured countertop where it spread out rather than maintaining a doughy shape like it was supposed to.

“I thought I knew how to do this,” you grunted.

The days were becoming cooler, and the idea of baking bread didn’t seem so unappealing a...

Giert the Goblin: Part Two (rough draft)

The mall you worked at shut down. So while now you don’t reek of every perfume on the planet, you’re sorting out life choices; which feels a lot worse than olfactory overload.

“It ain’t the end of the world if you take time, sweetheart.” Giert had brought you some peppermint to settle your nervous stomach.

Looking up from your computer screen, you could see he hadn’t washed up yet from work. He’d come straight from the garage to your kettle. “In this economy?” Yo...

Romarod the Orc (complete)

Female Reader x Male Monster

Elderbay was once a town just outside of Obresh, but now it is a part of it. The town had been taken over after the port had failed and the town had fallen to mostly ruin. It was easy for the leaders of Obresh to take over, since there wasn’t really anybody putting up a fight over it. They came in and cleaned up the place, but Elderbay had always been known for its sleaze and probably always would be. Now known as Obreshbay (or Obree Bay due to dialect) it...

Giert the Goblin: Part One (rough draft)

You live in a small apartment building, so little, in fact, there are only four apartments. You live upstairs where the only access is a staircase from the outside. Your neighbor on the top floor is a mechanic whose shop is just next door to the building. So often times, you see him come in from work, wringing his dirty hands and his coveralls covered in grease, oil, and perspiration.

You work across town at the mega mall where you work as a perfume girl. Yes, one of those perfume girls...

Laertes the Fae (complete)

Female Reader x Male Monster 

“What do you mean Master Aymeric is here?” You heard someone from down the hall yell. “He didn’t call?”

“Does it look like he called?” Another voice shouted.

You were coming back from the laundry room, arms loaded with two full baskets. You hurried off towards the linen closet to set the baskets down at the very least.

“I should warn Laertes,” you mumbled to yourself. “He probably has no idea Master Aymeric is comi...

The Leshy: Part Two (rough draft)

One evening the leshy doesn’t even wait for you. It comes up to the windows of the church, watching you as you polish Pastor Lado’s pulpit. You have long since stopped being afraid of it, and instead, all you feel towards the leshy is a strong frustration. It is like a tom cat outside your window yowling every night.

You open a window to the church, which the leshy recoils away from, stumbling into the graveyard and nearly knocking over a tombstone.

“Why won’t you leave me...

Ben the Werewolf: Part Three (complete)

Female Reader x Male Monster (both cis)

The phone call came in the middle of a deep sleep. When you answered it, you were barely awake, in fact you almost fell half asleep again when you hung up. But it finally clicked, and now, here you were in the waiting room of the hospital.

“Here.” Ben came up beside you, extending out a cup of coffee.

You sighed with relief, grabbing the cup with both hands. “Thank you.”

Ben took the seat beside you, stretching out to sho...

The Leshy: Part One(rough draft)

No matter how much you sweep, the steps to the church never seem to come clean. The dust and moss, on top of the fall leaves, gather in the corners, clinging to the old stone. You beat at it with your broom, but eventually you need to sit down. Your legs have never been strong, but the older you become, the worst it seems to get.

“Go inside,” Pastor Lado says as he returns. “This chill could get to the heartiest of men.” He offers you his hand, but you rebuff it.

His hand squeezed mine back. “I am forgetting something at this moment, Cara.”

I furrowed my brow and tilted my head up to him in confusion.“Which is?”

“How to be a gentleman. I almost bent down and kissed you like the ruffian I once was,” he said with a laugh.

My stomach knotted up, not in a bad way, but one of expectancy. “You could ask me.” The words poured from me, I didn’t mean to be so blunt.

Onyx the Tabaxi: Part Four (rough draft)

When I did go to the library it was nice and sunny out, but there were some clouds on the horizon that were growing darker by the moment. The library itself was cool and quiet, there wasn’t a soula round, none that I could see anyways.

“Alright little book, time ot put you back,” I murmured to myself as I took the third book of the Alyssa series from my bag. “Back onto your little shelf you-” I stopped, dead cold in my tracks. The shelf was empty. The Alyssa series was nowhere...

The letter arrived first thing in the morning, delivered into my hands by someone who whisked away as quickly as they appeared. I had been hunkered down in this small town waiting on this for a while now.

“Geez,” I mumbled over the letter. “Who did they let write this thing?” I squinted over the paper, trying to decipher some of the illegible handwriting. I scoffed, pulling back and rubbing the bridge of my nose. I’d been re...
