Mancini the Pink Rakshasa (special preview)

His voice on the other end of the line was exactly what I needed to hear. I’d just quit my dream job and had been sitting in my own filth for a week. The phone rang to some strange number, and I almost cried when he spoke those magic words to me.

“I need your help.”

I hadn’t seen him in years, not since I wanted to take fashion seriously. We’d parted amicably but I still felt tension whenever I thought about him and what he could possibly be doing. Now, as I waited for h...

Reza the Manticore (rough draft)

The old house you stood outside of looked as though it had seen better days. The iron fence was overgrown with weeds and vines, and beyond it the yard was littered like a junkyard. The only reason you came here was because you were fed up, but if you had passed this house at any other time you would have sped your gate to avoid it.

The gate was open so you just let yourself inside. This was a mission, so you felt partially like a spy sneaking into an enemy base. Your friends at the boar...

Milo the Halfling: Part Two (complete)

Female Reader x Male Halfling

As strange as it started, you had been going on dates with Milo for a while now. While his initial behavior towards you had been chilly and guarded, he had opened up more upon his confession. The two of you were being extremely cautious, of course, you were still coworkers. You had both agreed during that first date to keep it casual and see how things went. Which ...

Jijel the Troll (rough draft)

The Cryptstone Bridge Music Festival was one of your favorite times of the year. You and your band had been going for a while now and every year it just got better and better. This year, you hoped it would be the best yet, considering everything that had happened the previous year.

“It got cold early this year,” you bassist, Tawny said as you were setting up your camp area.

“It’s great right?” You were nearly bouncing in your boots. “It actually feels like spooky seaso...

A few weeks ago the higher ups at your company told you that they were going to be sending you to a new branch to work alongside the newly hired manager until everything got settled. The two of you were to be equals on everything, but the new manager would ultimately have final say on most things. You had been doing this a lot while the company expanded. You had be...

Brict the Goblin Prince: Part 3 (rough draft)

After heading home to Sothbulk, Brict took you back to the site where you had first fallen for him; The small cottage that overlooks the ocean.

“It’ll be good to spend some time here,” Brict says. “We’ve been apart for too long, and we need to reconnect.” He was already removing his clothes even before you walked into the cottage.

“I won’t argue with spending time alone with you, but I don’t want to burden Tulka and Grit either.” You step inside the cottage and...

Bear the Goblin: Part Two (complete)

Female Main Character/Monster x Multiple Partners

I’ve always been a troublemaker, no way of getting around that. As a kid I would pick fights for seemingly no reason except I enjoyed the chaos of it. As I got older and mixed sex into it, I really became too much for my family to handle. After being kicked out, as they thought it would set me straight, I found my true calling in life with mer...

Upcoming Stories: February 2022

I have got to get back into the habit of doing these! Anyways, here's a sampling of what to expect in February.

A manitcore story, where the monster is based on Heisenberg from Resident Evil 8.

A trans masculine (correct my terminology if needed) rakshasa based on the pink panther! (very excited for reactions to this one)

A lizard-man repairman with a bit of a green thumb (no pun intended).

A modern day centaur in an office setting who helps the main character through ...

Brict the Goblin Prince: Part Two (rough draft)

The chill of the mountains is not something you’ve gotten used to over time like everything else. Waking up knowing that the floor is going to be ice cold and the day won’t warm until after the noon sun rises above the peaks has been the hardest thing you have had to acclimate to. Everything else about your life in the goblin royal palace has been fine. Until recently, that is.

“Good morning, your highness!” You’re greeted chipperly as you make your way to the warm dining hall...

There is so much in this world to enjoy, I can’t understand why some people get so bogged down. Even during bad times, surely there is something you can look at and go ‘Ah, that’s worth a smile’. Ever since I was little I was like this, not because I consider myself overly optimistic or anything. I seemed to be able to get excited about ...

CYOA Chapter Ten: Grocery Shopping

As a kid, you had moved around a lot because of your mother’s job. You had seen a lot of towns and a lot of places in your lifetime. Some had seemed like photocopies of towns before, and some had their own unique charm to them. Hearthway Hollow had a charm all it’s own, and not just because it was a safe haven for werewolves and other monsters.

During your relationship with Luke, it was one of the first times you didn’t have to move around. You’d been living in your apartment fo...

CYOA Reminder

It’s that time where I put out a message to remind y’all to vote in the weekly CYOA! Chapter ten will be written tomorrow, and it will be the last one for now. I will be starting it up again in March. The reason I’m taking a small break from the CYOA is because my dad will be having open heart surgery at the end of February, and I wanna make sure I get commissions and other work done timely so when I take tim...

You had always dreamed of what your wedding would be like. As a small child you used to play it out with all your dolls and stuffed animals. You would make our own wedding outfit and walk down an aisle with a sheet serving as a veil.

During high school you had to transfer due to your mother’s job. It was hard; you went from having a really close friend circle to having no one at all. You were a wallflower, a silent onlooker to everything happening in that new and strange land. You tried to make friends but it was awkward. You were pretty smart and a rumor got started that you’d do people’s...

Cherrywood Manor: Part 6 (rough draft)

Lydia woke to the sound of canvas being scraped. She rolled over in bed, bracing her arm over her eyes as the curtains had been flung wide open.

“What the hell are you doing?”

Kouri took the paintbrush from between his teeth. “I wanted to paint you.”

Lydia flopped her arm down and pulled the comforter up over her eyes. “Can’t you paint me another time?”

“I liked the way you looked sleeping.” Kouri tucked the paintbrush behind his ear and kept using th...

Once the rain stopped, you were able to move ahead. In a way, the heavy rains actually made it easier for you to traverse deeper into the mountains. It helped clear out paths so they were easy to see. There had also been a rockslide which, in a shocking turn, revealed an opening to a cave that, once explored, turned out to be a sheltered path to the other side of th...

CYOA Part Nine: The Demons Loose

Remi is giving you a sweet, almost sympathetic smile as you pull out your phone again and bring up Evander’s messages.

“This is gonna be a hard one to explain,” you murmur.

“Just do you best,” Remi chuckles.

You take a breath then type the message. “Long story short, when you get here I’m releasing Ebal from being trapped under my bed. I can explain in more depth when you get here.” You set your phone done and nodded. “Yeah, I think that’s the best choice...

Cherrywood Manor: Part 5 (rough draft)

Watching your best fall for someone you hated was never easy. Eden had watched Lydia become enamored with a man too old for her, who also set off too many warning signals. But by the time this was all happening, Eden was heading to school and they couldn’t do much to halter the progress other than keeping up with Lydia over the phone. By the time Eden was through with law school, Lydia was married and had been living with the guy for ages.

Eden wasn’t allowed to come around because ...

The growl of thunder woke you from an already tentative sleep. The rain had been threatening all day, and now, it was pattering away. You waited for a flash of lightning, and you would count down the seconds until thunder came snarling behind it. Once you knew how far away the storm was, you began plotting what to do come morning. You and your people ...

Cherrywood Manor: Part Four (rough draft)

The interior of the manor was not Lydia’s only focus. What she had originally intended was for the renovations to begin on the exterior of the home. She had plans for the roof, repainting, repairing several of the windows and their frames, as well as replacing the doors and completely redoing the front porch. It was these attempts that got her into trouble with her neighbors to begin with. Not that they liked her much as it was, but for some reason, they felt so strongly about a house that ...
