Werewolf Boyfriend: Finn 2 (special preview)

Hunting isn’t something I grew up doing. I’ve never actually had to do it. I grew up in the city, the only thing to hunt there was pigeons and squirrels. It sort of scared me to think about going out into the woods to catch something to begin this courtship, but I was determined to do it. 

I tried too, I really did. I just couldn’t do it when the time came, and I crossed the paths of many deer and rabbits in that forest, believe me. I’m just not capable of it, so instead, I...

Werewolf Boyfriend: Finn (rough draft)

I came to Hearthway Hollow not long after my father had passed away. An old friend of his offered me a place to stay, and promised that the town would be a quiet and safe place for me to stay. Although, I am uncertain about that, because after all, anywhere there are werewolves, there is certain to be some level of danger. 

My mother was a werewolf, although I had never known her. She left not long after I was born, leaving my dad to raise me alone. When I was young and began shift...

Vampire Boyfriend: Gabriel (complete)

Gabriel has my head in the kitchen sink, digging his fingers into my scalp to work up a rich lather. He smells like my shampoo and body wash, and he’s still wearing my shirt and panties. Amon is sitting across the room playing cards with Pidge, who keeps glancing at Gabriel whenever he moves. Gabriel is rinsing my hair out with a surprisingly serious expression.

“So,” I clear my throat. ...

Symbiote Girlfriend: Ghost 2 (rough draft)

It had been months since I last felt her, but just when I felt comfortable and warm, that’s when she reappeared. I didn’t want to leave their side, but Ghost and I had our duty first and foremost to do. Beast was our responsibility, we couldn’t allow anyone else to get hurt because of her vendetta.

“Maybe I can help,” Julio offers as Ghost and I get ready. “Sonata and I aren’t fighters, but two are better than one in this.”

I so badly want to go back to that bed wi...

Vampire Boyfriend: Amon (complete)

October 1986

My breath comes out in thick, white puffs as I look up at the stars. The blanket around me is warm and soft, and there is a faint scent coming from the burning candles. Amon is stoking a fire in the little cast-iron fire pit. his long white hair pulled back into a loose ponytail. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen him without it falling around his face. In the candlelight, I se...

Symbiote Boyfriend: Sonata 2 (rough draft)

Arsinoe laid out the whole story for me; her sister, the explosion, meeting Ghost and everything that has led us up to this point. To be honest, I’m overwhelmed. Just a few short hours ago, I had been trying to shop using a gift card. Now, I’m in the center of some sort of action movie plot. Apparently, this Rabid is hunting down other Symbiotes, these creatures from a planet called Heltith. Sonata and I just happened to be his newest target.

Vampire Boyfriend: Pidge (complete)

September 1986

There’s a chill in the air as I leave the bar. I smell like cigarette smoke and bad beer. It’s been a raucous night, and I’m ready to get home, get a shower, wash the bar smell off me, and collapse into bed. It’s still dark out, and at a crosswalk I have two choices - go home, or go to Raul’s apartment. I’ve been spending a lot of time there anyway, but I don’t want...

Symbiote Girlfriend: Ghost (rough draft)

My big sister was always my hero. From the moment we were together, nothing could keep us apart. Siti and I did everything together, and since our parents were away a lot, sometimes that’s all we had. 

When I was in the midst of high school, there was an accident. Our parents’ plane crashed when they were returning home from a business trip. Siti immediately dropped out of college and came home to be my primary caregiver. 

While I continued on with school, Siti manag...

August, 1986

I’m coming home from working at the bar one evening - well, morning - when I see the flyer. It’s promoting medical trials for women ages eighteen to sixty who have an issue or complaint about their reproductive organs. I might have been leery, but I need the money, not to mention the help it could bring. I take the flyer home with me so I can call the number after I get some sl...

Symbiote Boyfriend: Sonata (rough draft)

My father had once been a very popular local musician. At one point, he had a chance at the big time, but instead he decided to open a small restaurant with my mother. They had a small stage in the restaurant where bands could come play, maybe get their own start. I never understood why my dad gave up his chance at stardom for the small kitchen he and my mother work in daily.

I work part time at the restaurant as well, although my parents want me to focus on school. I’ll admit, I got ...

The A.I. (complete)

October 5th, 20xx

My team and I have each been given one of the SP Bunkers to test out, and I will be moving in tomorrow. We’ve each also been given a journal to log our progress during these tests. It could easily be handled by the SP system, but we decided keeping physical logs would be a good habit to form. 

We have been working on the SP Bunker for several years. Originally it ...

Poppet Boyfriend: Vult Ludure 2 (rough draft)

Stubbed toes, smashed fingers, rammed elbows, all of these and more have become a normal part of my life. Vult is new to his body, and much like a newborn fawn, his joints wobble and buck as he grows used to them. Unfortunately for me, but fortunately for him, he feels none of his falls, trips, tumbles, splats and jams; I do. As such, I have bruises from my forehead to my toe. I have come to rely on aspercreme and epsom soaks like I am my ninety year old grandmother.

Berserker Boyfriend: Jacobus 2 (complete)

Jacobus puts on his robe as I sit by the table, wary of his presence. He moves slowly, as if avoiding the conversation at hand. Opening the window and letting in the light, he lets out a forlorn sigh. “I am from one of the tribes of the Headless,” he says quietly. Turning around, I see the fatigue on his face. It weighs down his eyes and makes them droop, and makes his mouth appear thin and gray....

Poppet Boyfriend: Vult Ludure (rough draft)

I come from a pretty big family, I have nine siblings, all older than I am. Each of them has a special magical gift as well, as our parents are witches, they were given a special charm when each child was born. My eldest sister can talk to animals, my eldest brother can make plants grow with a song, and on and on through each sibling, until you have me. 

I suppose at number ten, the powers that be were a bit stretched at how to bless this newest child. Every sibling already had som...

Berserker Boyfriend: Jacobus (complete)

A long time ago there used to be a large house at the top of the hill. I remember it vaguely in the back of my mind. Sometimes, when I’m walking through town and catch a glimpse of the hill from the corner of my eye, I can still see that imposing old house. Yet when I turn to stare directly, it’s not there. It was torn down long ago, back when I was small.

My father told me bad things happe...

Gargoyle Boyfriend: Amadou 3 (rough draft)

For the past few weeks, you had been in hiding. Ever since crossing paths with the villain known as Rabid you’d been placed on his shit list. For the time being, you were fine. You were still doing what you loved, journalism. You worked in secret though, and only at night since that was when Amadou was awake.

Ever since Amadou awoke, as well as your memories of the past, you have both been inseparable. Once, long ago, you had been a princess who fell in love with Amadou, a knight in y...

Banshee Boyfriend: Fitzhugh 2 (complete)

Fitzhugh takes me further north where he has a home in the mountains. It is a place he shares with his brothers, one older and one younger. Fitzhugh’s family was an odd one, it started with his father, a mortal man, who married three women of Headless descent. His first wife was bicorn, his second a banshee, Fitzhugh’s mother, and the third a fae. 

His reasons for coming here are to ho...

Gabriel has my head in the kitchen sink, digging his fingers into my scalp to work up a rich lather. He smells like my shampoo and body wash, and he’s still wearing my shirt and panties. Amon is sitting across the room playing cards with Pidge, who keeps glancing at Gabriel any time he moves. Gabriel is rising my hair out and he was a surprisingly serious expression on.

“So,” I clear my throat. “Gabriel, where did you learn to do hair?”

Banshee Boyfriend: Fitzhugh (complete)

My father is a general, quite a powerful one. Some even say he could be the next king if he wanted to, but despite his influence, I believe him to be quite lazy. I’m sure at one point he was ambitious and worked hard, but he has become more interested in keeping hold of the leashes he wields than gaining any more power. He enjoys comfort, and most of what makes him a reckoning force now is his repu...

Werewolf Boyfriend: Max 4 (complete)

My old room is way too hot and stuffy. I’m at the mercy of my parents’ thermostat while I’m staying here. It’s hard to sleep at all, so I open my window and sit under it for a while to let the cold air wash over me. I have dreams about the night I left, about Max and being tenderly held in his embrace. My body reacted so naturally to him, and everything was so perfect. Then morning came, and ...
