Monster Band Part Four: Desi the Gillman (special preview)

I smirk again and sigh. “Well, what do you want to do?”

“I think Gibbs wants to go back. But…” His voice fades off and he hangs his head down. His frills fall flat and I can see he’s truly struggling.

“I’ve got the club handled,” I tell him. “You won’t have to worry about that at all. I’ll perform if Gibbs won’t be here.”

“You can’t do that and keep the staff in line,” Desi scoffs.

“Try me,” I stand up and go to stand beside him. �...

Kitsune Girlfriend Akane (complete)

    My twin brother, Viktor, and I have been the primary source of income for the family. Our younger siblings rely on us greatly, and we want them to be able to get an education and have a better upbringing than we did. That’s partly why we moved down from the Polar North and into the Rakshasa country, because of their new education programs. 

    I got a job working as a laundry maid in the royal palace, where our siblings were...

Monster Band Part Three: Gibbs the Minotaur (special preview)

One morning I woke up and found Gibbs mulling over his phone. He had a pinched look to his face and his eyes only looked away as the screen went black.

“Honey?” I rolled over and lazily kicked my leg out, placing it in his lap. “What’s wrong?”

Gibbs sighs and rubs my leg. “Nothing,” he grumbles. “Or well, something but I’m not sure what to make of it.”

I pull my leg back and sit up, leaning into his side. “What’s the something?” I kiss his shoulder ...

Monster Band Part Two: Pope the Moth (rough draft)

Music has always been the thing that brought me the greatest comfort in the world. Even when I was a baby I would only quiet when my dad put on his old, beat up vinyl records. I would fall asleep to the likes of Queen, Led Zeppelin, and the like easier than I would any nursery rhyme of music box. It drove my mom crazy.

As I grew older I started to discover my own music and what I enjoyed. I fell in love with quite a number of bands, but none so much as I did Saturn. I was a young girl o...

Mr. Faire's Carnival 2 (complete)

    I have been returning to Mr. Faire’s Children of the Night Carnival every evening since I first visited. I had wanted to see my friend, June, but it has become more than that. It has become about seeing the enigmatic ringmaster, Mr. Faire, himself. Whatever powers that guide me have kept me returning to him, although I cannot go on blaming them forever.

    While he is extremely strange and unlike anyone I have met before, quite p...

Monster Band Part Two: Pope the Mothman (special preview)

Pope’s home is beautiful, it’s a stone house completely covered by vines with tons of pretty trees and foliage all around. It looked like some little fairytale nook carved out after rows and rows of apartment buildings and cookie cutter subdivisions.

Inside I could hear music playing and when I wrung the doorbell it stopped. A moment later Pope was at the door. 

“There you are,” he smiles. “Come on in.”

My stomach has joined my heart in doing gymnastics. “...

Mr. Faire's Carnival (complete)

    The carnival came to town one day and, as much as I wanted to go, I knew it wasn’t my time yet. My friend and roommate begged me to go with her, but I knew in my bones I wasn’t supposed to go there yet, so I made up a story. Not really something I had to make up on the spot, it was a story my mother had been telling me for ages. It worked, at least, and I knew that once the carnival left, my friend would leave with it.

    Ever ...

The Ruby Empire

I decided to sit down and try to map out what I possibly could. I’ll try to do another one and I’ll have a key where stories take place. But this is just the basics. I’m far from doing my own creation justice and knowing me there will be placed that don’t make sense at all lol.

April Mailouts

This April when I do my mailouts (which includes my $10 patrons this time) I will be doing something special! Everyone will be getting a magnet and print! Everyone from my $10 and up as a huge and massive thank you to all of you.

Amit’s Family Tree

I finally sat down and put this together. I’ve got something coming up where I needed it. But for the most part this is Amit’s family tree. See anything interesting? Have questions?

Monster Band Part One: Nyx the Incubus (special preview)

“I need you, Mal,” he says softly with wide eyes. “Please. None of them will probably even consider talking to me. I need you.”

I grimace at him and sigh. I take off my glasses and look up at him. “Why now?” I ask him. “Saturn has been a blip in your rearview mirror for ages. Why now? Why try and capitalize on the success of a bunch of young girls who are probably just fans of your work? Why not ask to do a remix of the song or even work with them or something?”

Ny...

Estienne the Carousel Centaur 2 (complete)

    The operator of the carousel is a tall, thin man with extremely long fingers and palms. He wears a cap that covers his forehead because, well, underneath he has extra eyeballs that, for some reason, his glamour can’t hide. His name is Arty and he’s been exceptionally kind and lets me hang out in his booth while I wait for the carnival to shut down for the evenings. It is during this time that the carnival really comes alive. It is when everyone who lives and works ...

Kitsune Girlfriend Akane (special preview)

Her bold red lips spread into a smile and I see her sharp teeth are capped with gold. “Good to know you’re a good healer,” she replies.

“I uh-” I clear my throat. “Just eager to get back to work, Captain.”

Her dark eyes scan over me and my heart begins to hammer wildly. She’s so tall and lovely, I wasn’t used to being in the presence of people like her. “I like that, come with me Viktor.” She wags her fingers and starts strutting across the deck.

Agains...

Estienne the Carousel Centaur (complete)

    I’ve been working at an antique store that a relative of mine owns. Well, I think they’re related to me, although I’ve never met them before, I don’t think. Anyways, I’ve been working at that antique store for a long time now, doing just cashier work and looking after things. Well, recently, I was given the task of making a delivery. I was given tickets to the carnival that had just popped up outside of town and was told to find a Mr. Faire to deliver the pac...

Mr. Faire's Carnival 2 (special preview)

Authaire nods and presses his fingertip to the plate, collecting crumbs from the cake and then licking them off. “Long, sad story. But I brought you here to make a short, happy one.” He says, a smile returning to his face. “So, you kissed me.” He then grins, diffusing the tense situation with no effort at all. “Did you like it?”

I huff and glance away from him.

“You did like it!” He gasps giddily. “Tell me everything.”

“You were there,” I snap at him....

Seraphimo the Knife Thrower (complete)

    I had a rather unusual upbringing as a child, one that didn’t seem that way to me until I saw how other families behaved. My parents adored one another even if they were from two separate worlds. My father was an accountant, and my mother was an Unseelie fae from the high royal court. They were as mismatched as they could be, but they were deeply in love.

    My father wanted me to attend human school while my mother wanted me to ...

Mr. Faire's Carnival 1 (special preview)

I frown a bit, wanting to take my hand away from his grasp. “I’ve been worried about her, is all,” I murmur.

“She told me you had a slight fear of carnivals,” he replies. “But not to worry. This place is safe and home to some very amazing people. This carnival isn’t like any of the others of the world.” He flourishes his hands out to make his point, finally letting my own hand go.

“This is the kind of place where dreams come true,” he sighs as he lets his hands...

Estienne the Carousel Centaur 2 (special preview)

“A little,” he laughs with a shrug. “But now, if you want to take this job and join the carnival, we can really figure out what we want with each other. You’ll have a great job and I’ll have my friend to look forward to seeing everyday. A friend I have very deep feelings for.”

My cheeks burn and I slowly lift my hands back up. “I have those feelings for you too.”

Estienne dips down, kissing me again. I had always read in those silly romance novels I always got from...

Walter & Jacque (complete)

    I’ve been trying to find ways to make use of all the free time I have while Tupac is gone. Not sure where he’s gone or what he’s up to, all bad I’m sure, but I’m on my own while he’s away. I’ve been going to clubs, bar hopping, doing whatever comes naturally in between. 

    Funds are getting low though, and I’m starting to weigh my options. I could easily charge for my time, lord knows I should I’m worth it. ...

Estienne the Carousel Centaur (special preview)

“It has been a long time since I’ve gotten to see old Robin,” he says and looks back at me. “How is the old fool doing? He must be doing quite well, now that he’s married and expecting his first offspring.”

I raise my hands and start to sign to Mr. Faire. “I hope you can understand me this way. But yes. Robin is fine when I get to see him. He’s like a ghost, sometimes he’s there and sometimes he isn’t. And when he is there, it’s very cold for some reason.”

The Cabaret at Mr. Faire's: Part Two (complete)

    I’m helping some of the dancers get ready when I hear a dramatic scream come from the back. The three little dancers all flinch and huddle together.

    “It’s just Muna throwing a tantrum,” I sigh. “I’ll go see what is up. You three go and get your stretches done.” I get up and head towards Muna’s room, where I hear him yelling and wailing.

    I knock on his door. “Muna?” I a...

Seraphimo the Knife Thrower (special preview)

He takes me to his dressing room, where there is a table and candles waiting for us as well as a bottle of wine.

“Do you seduce all your assistants like this?” I ask as I take a seat.

“I did none of the seducing tonight. You’re the one who has captured me and locked me in a cage.” He uncorks the wine with one of his shadows then pours me a glass. 

I smirk as I take it. “Then how do you explain this set up?”

“I’ve got people looking out for me,”...

The Cabaret at Mr. Faire's: Part One (complete)

    “Well, you tell that so-called Mr. Faire that I am not ready to get up and go yet! He’s just going to have to wait until I can find my mother fucking Christian Louboutins!” There’s a crash and shatter, things being thrown and more incoherent screaming from the back.

    “He’s at it again,” Fye sighs as she clips her hair back.

    I’ve already secured my closet and have anchored d...

Walter & Jacque 2 (special preview)

“I’ve never been so turned on,” Walter moans. “Let me fuck you.”

I smirk, proud of how far this pretty has come. “What?” I taunt. “In daddy’s room?” I feign a dramatic gasp. “How forbidden! How awful! Such a naughty, horrible child you are.”

Walter grabs me and bends me over a chair. He easily slides back inside me and I realize how turned on he really is. He fucks me with a ferociousness I’ve only ever gotten from Tupac. Walter fucks me like a crazed lit...

Satyr Boyfriend Midas (complete)

    “Mama? Mama!” Mari’s little hand pats my face, trying to get me to wake up. I roll over and pretend to sleep more, and she chases after me.

    “Mama! Maaaaaaama!” She tackles me, and I roll over, grabbing her and holding her close.

    “Good morning glory,” I say as I kiss her cheek.

    “I knew you were up!” Mari cuddles into my arms and sn...

Jacque & Walter (special preview)

I could roll my eyes but instead I suck him harder, gulping as he goes down my throat a bit. Then, without warning, he cums. It spurts and chokes me and as I pull back his gushes all over my face and lips. I cough and sputter, swallowing what I could of him.

Pretty boy presses his back against the stall, grinning like and idiot and breathing hard. “That was so good! Fuck yes-” he gulps down a breath.

I grab his face, kissing him and making him taste his own slop. “You’re s...

Love & War 2 (complete)

    I wake one evening and breathe in the dark, cool air. I rise from my bed, and flowers fall from my hair. I hear something beyond the temple, and I rise to see what it is. Out by the bonfire, I see Valery sitting with his steed. He’s singing as he sharpens his sword. The sparks fly out, turning into small creatures that run around and then disappear into the shadows.

    Valery’s singing stops, and he stabs his sword into the gro...
