Eldritch Lover: Part One (special preview)

The call came in at a rather late hour. Work usually never contacted me until the morning on weekdays. Never after six. Certainly never on weekends. This was something new, almost strange considering how consistent they had been. This job was strange to say the least, but at east they were professional.

It had been storming the last few days, nothing out of the ordinary really. The winds had been strong, and the rain came and went in spurts of showers or heavy force. Tonight it was driz...

Alien Boyfriend: Alzun 3 (rough draft)

Hard work was never something that Alzun was used to. Being prince, and a spoiled one at that, he was more used to travelling and holidaying. It was a good thing his parents put their feet down. Ever since he came to you, he’s been slowly coming out of that spoiled part boy shell. Ever since you met his family, they’ve been so supportive of your research. Not only that, they have been interested in your curriculum and education practices. So much so, the decided to see how far along Alzun...

Vampire Boyfriend: Oleander

Female Main Character x Male Monster (both cis)

Hard times are hard, especially when student loan debt is piling up. Who knew wanting to be a drama teacher was such a bad idea? I thought it would be fun. Unfortunately schools are laughing at the idea of hiring drama teachers as the arts get shorted in the budget. By this point, I’m used to it. I’ve looked for jobs, I’ve learned to rattle ...

Werewolf Girlfriend: Sheba (rough draft)

It was raining a lot as you drove in. Not only that, you somehow made a wrong turn along the way. You went over this cute little bridge at one point. You only remember because you made note to come back when it wasn’t raining. But then, when you turned around to head back, the bridge was covered by the river. So much rain had made it overflow.

“Oh boy.” You sit in your car and stare out the windshield, trying to think of what to do. You then  see a sign near you saying that t...

“You’re batshit,” Chalcedony gripes.

“What’s going to happen?” you ask, packing a bag. “He doesn’t have his powers anymore.”

Chalcedony’s frown is palpable, even across the room. “He's a very intelligent man. Who’s to say what he’s been doing on that star all these years? Tending to a garden? I think not.”

Three years ago to the day, you met your girlfriend. She had been performing in a traveling carnival when you first saw her. She was a juggler and fire performer. The show you first saw her in, she had started off but juggling bowling pins on fire, then she offered to show people to walk on fiery coals. You had volunteered, if only to get a bit closer to her. After that night, you started going to the carnival each night, if only to see her.

Ever since you were a prepubescent girl, several lessons were beaten into you - lessons such as the power of friendship, the importance of light, the strength in love, and how the greatest power of all comes from inside you. As a kid, you believed in them, especially since you were chosen by the stars to receive the power of the gentle cosmos. Being a magical girl, ...

Werewolf Boyfriend: Dean 3 (rough drafts)

It was kind of funny, you had to admit it. After all the serious talk about the paranormal and spooky, Dean’s little outburst was a good laugh. “I like role play as much as the next girl, but I am trying to make us lunch,” you giggle.

The serious look on Dean’s face didn’t budge an inch. “No I-”

You sigh, going back to the stove. “You tried, it’s okay. Maybe later. Maybe once we actually, you know,” you say with a smirk.

Josie followed along behind Bess, keeping close and clinging to her white dress. Once in the hallway, Bess looked this way and that, even holding up one of her floppy ears to hear better. She stepped out, walking slowly at first. “We’re a hall over, so it should allow us a little extra time,” Bess whispered. “Once we reach the ballroom, it...

The new yoga class that Rosie is taking you to starts at the same time you usually begin your work out. Actually, it starts an hour later, so you get to make yourself one of your rare fancy breakfasts. Which is not really fancy, you just get an avocado and call it that. But, you get to enjoy it, which makes it extra fancy.

You meet up with Rosie half way through your run, and together you go to the building the class is being held in. It was once an old chain store that had gone out of ...

Josie stood on her seat, looking over the edge of the boat. The water below glittered silver, reflecting her in a hazy cast. She could see the edge of the water as well; rather than flowing to a bank, it fell over a cliff, cascading down into an abyss that connected with the sky. “Where is this place, anyway?” Josie sat back down in her seat, ...

Aside from getting up, you have been enjoying the early mornings. The town you live in is right near the ocean, so each morning during your jog to the gym, you get to see the sunrise over the sparkling waters. You had always been a sleeping in type of person, but when you decided to start trying to loose weight, it became clear that early morning was the only time you could work out. After work you were always too exhausted, or were far too busy.

It had been a struggle in the beginning,...

Novel Project: Support a Chapter

I've decided to undertake this project as a personal gift to myself, as well as a much needed break from commissions (which I really love but I've rarely been able to complete a personal project). As such, I'm taking a huge chunk out of my monthly earnings. In fact, I'm taking about half of my monthly income away doing this. I've planned for this at least, but still, it will put a strain on my income.

As such, I'm opening it up for people to support chapters! This includes some benefits...

Dullahan Boyfriend: Curran (rough draft)

Several years ago, your husband had been murdered. He was sacrificed by his own kin, his old coven. You were so immobilized by grief and all you could do was take care of your daughter, Daisy.

Brimer the Orc & Ciran the Drow (rough draft)

A few years ago you had been out getting eggs and bread to take back home when you happened upon a performance. An orc was playing a lute and singing, and his voice was exceptionally lovely. You stopped to listen much like several others. The orc smiled at you and for a moment you felt the beating of your heart skip and bounce. But it was in the same moment you felt aware that someone was uncomfortably close to you. It had been a gift you’d picked up over the years. You then noticed a dark ...
