You're Dead: Chapter Two (special preview)

Just as we were about to walk towards Stepford Steppes Stevie’s phone went off. She had me wait a second while she checked the alert. “Oh fuck no!” She slammed the door shut right in my face and ran back around to the driver’s seat.

“Freddie can wait! This is bullshit!” Stevie drove out of that parking lot so fast I thought I would see swat cars chasing her.

I lifted myself up, having fallen between the seats and into the aisle when she slammed the door on me. I looked...

You're Dead: Chapter One (rough draft)

It was Tuesday, and that was about as far as any descriptor could go. For years now, all Tuesdays had become the same. They didn’t carry the stress of Monday, they didn’t have that feeling of achievement like Wednesday. They just existed as a day between days. Nothing special ever happened on a Tuesday.

Walking to work I rarely made note of anything around me. I paid attention to traffic flow, signs, whatever color the lights were. I didn’t want to get run over or trampled on my w...

Selkie & the Beast: Finale (complete)

male Lead x Male Monster (both cis)

Kota was knocked breathless by the appearance of his sister. He rushed out, forgetting how hurt his leg was or how hard it was to run on that rocky beach. Esperance’s family made such a racket, that he couldn’t hear Ivet yelling for him as she, too, made her way along the shore. Being wrapped up in her arms again relaxed Kota to such a degree that he coul...

The Sandman: Part Two (rough draft)

I saw a world made up of endless ocean. The water rested peacefully, sometimes stirring with life below the surface. There were bubbles that rose from the bottom of the vast sea, giving way to the only sign of life it had. Then, as if out of curiosity, the ocean eased back, revealing a patch of land. Further and further away the water retreated until it had decided it had gone far enough. The first piece of land had been made.

After days of drying in the sun, greenery began to grow. It ...

At night the sad songs returned, floating all around the moon castle and filling the air with their melancholy. Kota would often wake in tears, as his dreams were filled with a deep, unending loneliness. He would see the rocky shore not far from the castle and the song would reach out from the ocean, beckoning for a return that could not be.

It became too...

Improvement of the Patreon

I’m in one of those moods where I’m concerned about my Patreon, while also knowing it’s just the time of year.

But aside from my own anxiety, I am genuinely curious to hear from all of you about anything you think could make this Patreon better. Anything at all will help me decide where I’m headed in the new year.

Also, thank you all so much. I know not all of you will see this, but I am so grateful to all of you. I can’t express it without crying, I can’t even think...

The Sandman: Part One (rough draft)

Pleasance had given birth to a boy. The news spread like wildfire all across Miror. When it reached me, I was already aware. I knew it in my bones, so once Dee and Dum delivered it to me, I was not surprised.

“This changes nothing,” I told them. “We keep moving forward.”

“This will make it harder to claim your legitimacy, Alice.” Dee was trying to be the voice of reason. “There are those who will say because he’s-”

I turned sharply and glared him down. “B...

There was a soft melodious sound in the air when Kota woke. He sniffled once and rubbed the tears from his eyes. The song he had fallen asleep to last night had given him dreams of loneliness and heartache. It was not too far fetched since he was now separated from his family by who knows how many miles. He sat up, paying attention to the song as it wafted in...

The Tweedle Twins: Part Two (rough draft)

Over the next few days I healed. Dee and Dum took turns caring for me. While one stayed at the house with me, the other went out, possibly getting more bodies or going to Somnus. Once I started to feel better I helped around the house. I wasn’t used to housework, but they taught me the basics. I could sew, so I started patching up their clothes for them.

“There, you’ll have scars, but you healed up nicely.” Dee had removed the stitches that Somnus had put in me. He smoothed his ...

Kota was born the youngest of four, as well as being the only male. Even with three older sisters, Kota was known as the most beautiful of his pack. This was something of a problem for Kota, who often received unwanted attention for his appearance. His sisters, all powerful hunters in their pack, often protected him. Ivet, Kari, and Nina often surrounded Kota...

The Tweedle Twins: Part One (rough draft)

Like most good fairy tales, this one begins because my father married an absolute bitch. My father was a king, you see, and since his only child was me, a girl, he was expected to marry in hopes of providing the kingdom of Miror with an heir. An heir, you see, must have a dick. If the heir does not have a dick, then people lose their minds. Hence, why my father had to marry again, because as long as I existed alone, people lost their minds.

On paper, Pleasance seemed well, pleasant. Wel...

The night my son, Sebastian, was born, I swear I saw the color of the moon change. No one believed me, but as I got into the cab to the hospital, it turned brilliant pink. I knew what I saw back then, and I don’t think I’m creative enough to make something like that up. For a while, I thought it was some sort of sign, even a warning, so I was cautious when I fir...

The Caterpillar: Part Two (rough draft)

The Emotions Catalog was fairly new when I joined on. I had been working at the Sacred Archives for some time, so I had a set way of doing things already. Meeting Lutwidge for the first time, I thought I sensed a kindred soul who understood the work we were doing. He seemed so charming and regal upon our first encounter.

“I’m so excited to have a Platinum here,” he said. His hair was kept short back then, not the long mane he had now. He also wore his glasses regularly, and he had...

Was it a dream? It was too good a conversation to have been real. Right? I must have been dreaming about it. But when I check my phone, I see everything there. Every word that I could remember was there as clear as day. The pictures too. Such lovely pictures.

I fell back in bed, rereading everything with a giddy excitement. It had proba...

Cursed Creatures: Chapter Nine

This will be all for now. What did you think? Is it worth saving?


The door hadn't been there the day before, Belle was assured of that. She knew the day before that the bookshelf had been there and now it was on the other side of the room near the fireplace. She studied it inquisitively, feeling the raised stones making the frame. Warming the bronze handle with her palm and pressing her ear against the wood. Beyond it, she heard the sounds of the storm along with water rushin...

Several years ago, I had been hired for a very special job which would put all my expertise and training to the test. This was something I was extremely excited for. It was a dream come true, especially considering all the others who could have been chosen. I was one of the elite, a white rabbit who was born to raise out of her class and station. I was known as a platinum rabbit, born to do things within the world no one else could. Some platinum rabbits took care of time, others took care of...

I had lost my breath upon that first kiss. I hadn’t expected it, and it was still a shock to the system. I knew I should have moved or done anything else, but I just kept going back for those kisses as if Ellis lips were water and I was lost in a desert. Now she was on top of me, looking down upon me like the cat with the canary. I really s...

Cursed Creatures: Chapter Eight

Belle stirred as the storm began to rage again. She yawned and stretched out on the bed, her hand hitting his chest. She froze for a moment, feeling for a moment that all of that must of been a dream. There was no way that had all happened, but as she looked at the beast's sleeping face she was pulled from her dreams.

She sat up, looking over him curiously again. He really was lovely and she couldn't deny it now. As she touched his cheek he felt warm to the touch. He was still chilled c...

The Theatre Statues: Part Two (rough draft)

Once I returned to the theatre, rehearsals got tougher. My mother wasn’t giving us any slack as the days drew closer. Since I had the solo, I was being wrung out twice as hard. Lately, I have been noticing Carmine sitting in the seats. Sometimes he’ll be out front, hidden in the shadows. Other times I’ll catch him from the corner of my eye in one of the boxes. My mother hasn’t said anything about him, but all the other dancers were talking about him. Some spoke of how he’s so handso...

It was disgusting. This ratty, almost skin like thing that I had found. I guess it had gotten kicked up from the gutter or tossed out from the trash bin, but it had found its way onto my stoop. It may have been a coat at one time, I’m not sure. It certainly had all the characteristics of clothing, it had just been through everything by the ...

Cursed Creatures: Chapter Six

Pearl stared out the window, watching the deluge come down. While the cabin was warm and comfortable, it was boring. At least back home she and her sisters had games and books to read. All Mr. Hero seemed to want to do was sit by the stove and whittle. Every once and awhile he would stand up and go outside. Then he'd come back soaking wet and carrying some wood to keep the stove stoked and hot.

Every so often Pearl felt as if the wolf was watching her and she would move away from the wi...
