Vampire Boyfriend: Amon (special preview)

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. He has his long white hair pulled back into a loose ponytail. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen him without it curtained around his face. 

In the candle light, I see shiny patches on his pale skin. They’re scars, going down from his t...

Vampire Boyfriend: Pidge (rough draft)

September 1986

There’s a chill in the air as I leave the bar. I smell like cigarette smoke and bad beer. It had been a raucous night, and I was ready to get home, get a shower, wash that bar smell off me, and collapse into bed. It was still dark out, and at a cross walk I had two choices. I could go home, or I could go to Raul’s apartment. I’d been spending a lot of time there anyways, but I didn’t want to impose upon them. Still, I couldn’t deny my search for comfort was stro...

Werewolf Boyfriend: Max 3 (complete)


One morning I wake up to see that the world beyond my window is white. It has never occurred to me how long I had been in Hearthway Hollow, only that I am here at all. I step out onto the porch, gazing in childlike bewilderment as the snow falls, breathing out puffs of thick white steam into the air. The world is tranquil, time has stopped, and I can feel magic in the air.

“You’re going...

Vampire Boyfriend: Raul (rough draft)

(sorry folks! this was supposed to post yesterday! posting now, enjoy!)

August, 1986

I had been coming home from working at the bar one evening, or well, morning, when I saw the flyer. It was promoting medical trials for women ages eighteen to sixty who had an issue or complaint about their reproductive organs. It might have been something to be leery of, but I needed the money, not to mention the help it could bring. I took the flyer home with me so I could call the numb...

Werewolf Boyfriend: Max 2 (complete)


Helene is tall, thin, with the most perfect bob cut I have ever seen, and dressed like she just stepped out of the Devil Wears Prada. She arrives early in the morning, just as I’m waking up to do my exercises. Her heels make an intimidating click-clack on the floor as she goes around the kitchen, checking all the cupboards and drawers while Max has his breakfast. “Papa! All these carbo...

The A.I (rough draft)

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 be a job easily handled by the SP system, but we decided a physical log would be a good habit to form. 

We have been working on the SP Bunker for several years, although before that, it had originally been an attempt to create an automated house, rather than a safety bu...

Werewolf Boyfriend: Max (complete)

I’ve always had to be careful in life. I took ballet to learn to be graceful and thoughtful with my movements. I decided to study for a job that would allow me to avoid any accident or peril. But life is hard to control, and you don’t get to pick and choose when you bump into things, fall over, or get a nosebleed.

I got my first nosebleed when I was still an infant. It sent my parents into ...

Mail Outs: Update

Hello everyone! I was getting mailouts in order and I noticed that some peoples' pledge haven't gone through. Make sure to double check your payment methods so that your membership has gone through. I'll be preparing mailouts tomorrow, but I will double check next week too for anyone who may have been late.

Berserker Boyfriend: Jacobus 2 (rough draft)

Jacobus puts on his robe as I sit by the table, cautious 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, it makes his mouth appear thin and gray. “My father was a mortal man, but my mother is from the tribe of Valery throu...

Undead Boyfriend: Nemo 4 (complete)

Upon opening the door you’re greeted by the scent of plaster, paint, fresh-cut wood and a general sense of unfamiliar newness. The residential apartment was made by connecting several former patient rooms on the fourth floor, and inside you find it bright and gleaming, almost completely untouched. Nemo and Asha hired a crew to move all-new furniture and appliances in. You step inside, holding your ...

Berserker Boyfriend: Jacobus (rough draft)

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 am walking through town and catch a glimpse of the hill from the corner of my eye, I can sometimes still see that imposing old house. Yet when I turn to stare directly, it’s not there. The place had been torn down long ago, back when I was small.

My father told me bad things had happened there, that if someone was found out to be descended from the He...

Undead Boyfriend: Nemo 3 (complete)

You’re used to the smell of antiseptic, the thick wafts of chemicals used to clean the clinic’s halls. It’s become the background to your days since you took your position at the clinic with Nemo. It has become your home, your life, and you’re exceedingly grateful for it. Not so long ago you didn’t even have a roof over your head. The scents around you then were gasoline and garbage, your o...

Banshee Boyfriend: Fitzhugh (rough draft)

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

It isn’t just my father. My mother, ...

Jasper & Aisling Prologue (complete)

Aisling came walking briskly down the hall, just wanting to get somewhere she knew, somewhere safe. Then again, what was really safe for her these days? Ever since her uncle and cousin had taken over her family’s kingdom, she was no more than a prisoner. 

She came to her door and opened it, walking inside she felt some relief, some strain lift away from her chest. She closed the door beh...

Werewolf Boyfriend: Max Finale (rough draft)

My old room is way too hot, too stuffy. I am at the mercy of my parents’ thermostat while I am 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, everything was so perfect, so right. Then morning came and I was pulled away by fear.

I haven’t touched my phone since I got home. Once...

Dryhn Boyfriend: Bo (complete)

I’ve been working in Amber Hollow for years now. The children’s clinic here is in desperate need of someone who could treat children with unusual origins. I had made it my specialty in school since most of my siblings were unusual, and I saw them get mistreated by the family doctor in childhood. It made me angry, so I wanted to do something to ensure other children never received such treatment.<...

Chapter Eight: Ring of Fire

Cecy stuffed the blanket into the heating duct and stared harshly at it. She looked down at the vent cover in her hand then tossed it so it clanged against the door.

“Where the hell is she?” She spat at the gagged vent. She then jumped down from off the bed. The room was sweltering. Cecy had already taken off her pants and shirt and was walking around in an oversized t-shirt she had found shoved in the back of the chest of drawers.<...

Chapter Six: Lana 

Lana’s life seemed to be nothing more than an extensive list of men. Six grandfathers. One unknown father. Five step-fathers. Seven dead husbands. One that got away. And a countless amount of boys, lovers, and one night-stands. One lonely looking judge plus twelve angry men in a box. And four with empty, hungry eyes with blood under their fingernails.

An ever growing list of men.

Lana never knew her father. Her mother said he was de...
