Atticus and I have agreed to something my father proposed - for the two weeks leading up to the wedding, we will spend our time apart. It was something he and my mother did before their wedding, and he tells me it brought them closer together. Atticus doesn’t seem too thrilled with the idea, but in the back of my mind I think I can get some extra work done.
But by the second day of our ...
2020-01-16 20:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostMailouts will be late this month as I am waiting on something’s to get in. But I will have them out on Monday! Thank you for your patience.
Here’s a preview.

“My parents want me to get up early and start as soon as possible each day.” They say it genial, but there is a repugnance to their tone. They look at me and I see their eyes focus on my chest for a moment.
I clear my throat as the nerves pick up. “Have you had breakfast? I was just getting ready to make my own.”
Franziska shakes their head. “I had tea, but not much else.” They take a seat at my table. “Is this supposed to be a lesson?”
“No...just breakfast...

“He was fine!” Bray scoffs. “I made sure of that, and I was watching him the whole time, I swear, Ayako.”
“Oh please.” Ayako growls. “You just wanted to show off! You weren’t watching him at all. How the hell could you with your head in your ass?”
Bray rolls his head and starts to turn back towards Cyrus. “Well, you’re he...

Biqri chuffs. “You don’t have to be kind.”
“I don’t have to, but it’s nice, isn't it?” You stand up again then motion to the table. “Do you need some privacy while you get comfortable?”
“If you wouldn’t mind,” his voice cracks.
You fetch some towels and lay they out for him. “I’ll be back in a few minutes....

I come from a long line of midwives, since before the time of my great-grandmother. My family prides themselves in their work and advances it as much as possible. My grandmother invented a table that made birthing easier, and my mother created a medicine that helps dull pain. I studied and worked towards becoming a midwife most of my life, and was hoping to be as respected and educated as my foremoth...

Rosenrot gives me the eye. “What terms were you thinking?” They scoff.
I bow my head and laugh. “You know? I’m not certain. I really don’t understand what I was thinking.”
Rosenrot brings me into a hug, wrapping their long arms around me. I feel safe with them, more so than anyone in the world. I lay my head on their chest and, in that moment, everything is clear to me.

You became part of King Nazrath’s harem when you were young. It was a fate that promised comfort and safety in harsh, unpredictable times. You had come from a life of poverty, working ever since you were physically able. And war was a constant, as Nazrath was often at war with the orc tribes surrounding the kingdom.
Nazrath is vengeful and hateful towards the Orcs, taking out his wrath on the...

His lip curls over his sharp teeth and a sinister grin appears. “Fallen on hard times, has he? Well, good. He can rot somewhere else. As soon as I can, I will have him removed from here.”
“Don’t you dare,” I snap back at him. “His wife is pregnant and he has two other babies. He’s here because of them!”
Atticus glares down ...

Atticus kisses me, wrapping me up in his strong arms again. “Just a warning. I will always make sure to stoke your fire properly, my love.”
“You can garden after we’re married,” I return the warning. “I want to look perfect on the day.”
Atticus smirks. “You look pretty damn perfect now.”

“You do the same for me and the babes.” I lean forward, kissing his neck and down his back. As I trail my hands down his sides Rogan moans out loud.
“That feels too good, love,” he grunts.
I chuckle, sitting beside him as he rolls over. “It’ll get better in a moment.” I k...

As I was starting to doze off myself, there was a pounding at my door. Kisska stirred, fussed, and started to cry loudly. There was another bang at the door, and when I answered I stood face to face with an Orc.
“Midwife,” he growls low. “My wife is in labor and something is wrong. Come with me now.”
“What’s wrong?” I gasp.
He shakes his head. “I am not s...

Hearthway Hollow seemed like such a boring place on paper, the kind of town you’d go to visit grandparents. Your job takes you to many places - you decorate sets and do special effects makeup for a traveling theatre troupe. You get sent to all sorts of locations for different productions, often at the last minute. You are given a per diem for room and board, but you usually save that and sleep in y...

The young Orc scowls. “We were hidden during the last siege. Our parents said they would come back for us, but if not, to go into the mountains....
