Jasper the Bugbear: Part One (rough draft)

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 restless waiting for this thing to come in. I had been ...

Rocco the Guard: Part Two (complete)

Female Main Character (older) x Male Monster

I had my new schedule all planned out so that Rocco and his guards couldn’t trace me so easily. It took some effort and time, but luckily, thanks to Kali and her friends, we didn’t starve or anything. But I was bored, and for me, that was almost torture. With my new schedule and plan in mind I went back into the market. After being cooped up in the house for so long, I was excited to stretch my legs a bit.

I stopped at a booth outsi...

Laertes the Fae (rough draft)

“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 coming either.” You begin to head towards t...

Rocco the Guard: Part One (complete)

Female Main Character (older) x Male Monster

Deep within the woods, much farther than anyone should go, lies a house made of cobwebs and stone. Far from prying eyes the house shines light all day, probably from the cauldron that is boiling away. Smoke rises from the chimney, whispering secrets and malice. Inside this old house there is not a mouse, there is barely life at all to be seen. Except the witch who lives there, passing out charms both cursed and lucky. But beware her jagged sm...

Ransom the Shapeshifter: Part Two (rough draft)

You sat on the edge of the bed, adjusting the robe as it felt tight around your waist. Maybe your uniform, for all you knew it was someone else’s in that locker. You glanced around the room, feeling the darkness and the many boxes encroaching upon you.

The numbness in your limbs had gone into your fingers and toes now. You flexed your fingers, noticing a scar along the back of your hand. You had never had a scar there before. It looked, almost, like it was stabbed.

The last thin...

The Bride of Mr. Fox: Part Two (complete)

Tw: gaslighting, abuse, gore, frightening imagery and pregnancy

It was over a week of waiting for Mr. Fox’s first visit. And when he did arrive, it was an inauspicious visit, to say the least. I look back on it, I see the awkwardness between all of us. Mr. Fox was put off by Mother and Heleen’s eagerness, while I’m sure my attempts to dampen their excitement made me seem unwelcoming. Mother was angry afterwards, throwing the dinner plates at our feet then...

Ransom the Shapeshifter: Part One (rough draft)

Something was wrong. You shouldn't have been able to wake up by now. Your cryostasis should have lasted the whole journey, and you would have been woken by your commanding officer. Instead, you woke to the flashing red lights and warning alarms that something had gone wrong.

You sat up out of your pod,  groaning in pain. “Fucking hell. Did we crash or something?” Prickles ran down your arms and the back of your neck as you moved. Your legs ached as you stood from the chamber. S...

The Bride of Mr. Fox: Part One (complete)

Tw: gaslighting, abuse, gore, frightening imagery and pregnancy

Strange that it is I wake up each morning to the scent of grave dirt these mornings. I half expect to find myself being buried, but that is not that case. I am in bed, like I should be, and there are no graves in sight. I only see my sister in her bed, pretending to still be asleep when I know she’s barely slept at all. Needless to say I don’t like waking much these days. I don’t care to get ...

Ambrose the Lich (rough draft)

There are so many legends and myths to go along with a full moon, you would almost believe it was something truly magic. And while I do love a moonlight night, a run through a valley so ethereal it could make you cry; it’s not what holds the power most of the time. It’s when the moon is new that you have to watch out for truly otherworldly things. When the world is blanketed in no light, swallowed up by darkness, that is when the world really comes alive.

As a child I dreaded the ne...

The sound of rain filtered in through your sleep addled brain. You faded back into reality as rain hissed on the tin roof of your cabin. Sitting up in bed, you rubbed your eyes, squinting to see the steel gray that colored the world outside. You sighed, reaching for your glasses and then stretching. Joints popped, back snapped and you sighed in rumination on all those sounds coming from your body alone.

You then looked to ...

Alfie the Minotaur: Part Three (rough draft)

The cafeteria was fixed, so you were now back to your usual morning routine. It was busier now than before, thanks in part to the staff and students missing how easy it was. It was nice to have your favorite coffee again, and the smell of new construction reminded you of your dad just a bit.

“You’ve been spending a lot more time with Alfie now.” Keery smirked from over her cup of coffee.

“Yeah? You spend a lot of time with your husband,” you vollied back.

Telling people it was a hard decision for you to upheave your life and move far from what you know is a lie. It wasn’t a hard decision. It was barely a decision at all. There was nothing keeping you there anymore. The chains were broken, you could go anywhere.

Unsurprisingly, finding a new home to move into was the hard part. Well, finding something affordable was the hard part. The house you chose, which was out of the way,...

Alfie the Minotaur: Part Two (rough draft)

“I seriously can’t get this thing to work,” you said to Keery over the phone. You struggled with the wrench, trying to adjust the radiator heater in your apartment. “This worked last year.”

Keery had this certain tone to her laugh. “Why don’t you call Alfie? I’m sure he’d love to come and rescue you from that old, cold apartment.”

You pouted. “I mean, I guess I could. I just don’t know what stage of the relationship we are in. Am I able to call him to fix s...

Part One: Spring

Shearing season is coming soon, you thought to yourself. You stepped into the shed, taking a closer look at the shears and scissors. Just outside the sheep were bleating and following you towards the door. You could hear them brushing up against the side of the shed and pushing at the door.

“I’m coming back out, hold on.” You fussed. “You can live without me for five seconds.” You inspect the blade on the sci...

Alfie the Minotaur: Part One (rough draft)

The campus cafeteria usually opened early every morning, it was one of the things you knew you could rely on. You enjoyed the coffee when it was fresh, and they had these interesting little pastries you would get along with whatever breakfast sandwich was being served. Today, you had hoped they would make something with bacon, perhaps even use that rare bit og guyer that came into stock once in a blue moon.

Instead, as you rounded the corner from the parking garage to the front of the c...

Each morning the sun rises and comes through your window. The small sun charm your mother made catches the first light and casts little rainbows all over your floor. The rooster crows, signaling the start of the day, but you’ve already been up long before, getting ready for the work day ahead.

Your family owns a small dairy farm at the edge of Obresh. Each morning you got out to check on the cows, let them out to graze, and then check to s...

Monster March: Vita the Valravn

Female Reader x Female Monster

The ground you crawl across is  hot, grating gravel, scalding your palms and belly as you pull yourself  along. You remain as low to the ground as possible, staying out of sight  while the strangers wander around. They drag their feet along the  earth, scraping them so their feet bend back with the heels to the sky.  As they lurch around, making horrible death rattles in their throats,  they charge at any sort of motion. They ...

Monster March: Balam the Demon

Male Monster x Female Human

I was summoned, woken from a deep and wonderful sleep, by some  jackass with more ego than his crappy life should allow. Whatever their  reasoning was for summoning me and pissing me off was not worth my time  or effort. All I wanted was to sleep, to nap, to dream and perhaps rid  myself of this world for a few extra centuries before I really had to go  to work. Unfortunately, this asshat of a ‘wizard’ thought I would be  bet...

Nadione the Gemling: Part Two (rough draft)

The following day I was working on Nadione’s box. I had taken off most of my clothes, as it was getting hot and exhaustive, brushing and scrubbing between each stone, rinsing, polishing, washing everything inside was exhaustive.

Nadione sat nearby, watching me as I cleaned what was essentially her home. She looked tense, but she wasn’t saying anything.

I stepped out at one point, wiping my brow and sighing heavily. “You’ve done some good work in there. Very nice layering. ...

Finch the Fae (complete)

Female Reader x Male Monster

Up on a hill, hidden by maple trees, was an old cottage. The place had been in your family for ages, and countless summers had been spent there. Repairs and renovations had taken place countless times since you were young, but the place still maintained the same feeling and isolation it always had. Even now as ivy grew over the mesh of the screened in porch, creating a whole new room to itself, the place felt like that hidden oasis you loved as a kid.
