Selkie & Kelpie Lovers (complete)

    You’ve made a life for yourself at the lakehouse. Initially, it had been a place of escape for you. But now, it was home. You had made a life for yourself, and even better, you had healed. You were also loved and treasured by two amazing creatures.


    Tavish and Aulay had been nothing more than pests to you in the beginning. They fought and bickered, and you had tried to keep them out of your life. Somehow they snuck in, and you never w...

Drider Girlfriend (special preview)

You follow the stream through the woods, coming to a cliff side where her cave was. Out front, there was a stone pathway leading to the mouth. Around the entrance, there were spider’s webs draping down like sheer curtains. 

There was a strange, exotic smell in the air. It smelled spicy and warm and you felt yourself relax. You try to keep a clear mind, this could be a spell to pacify those who intend harm. But you have no mind for such a thing. You’ve come to talk, that is all. You wa...

Werecoyote Girlfriend (complete)

    Your family always took camping trips to the Hearthway Forest when you were little. You loved it. You loved visiting the town at the edge of the woods, it always felt like home even though you only spent a few days there a year. It felt comfortable and welcoming, which as you grew older was something you longed for.


    Coming out to your parents wasn’t easy, and the fact that they haven’t talked to you in a while is heartbreaking. Wan...

Orc Boyfriend Faust (special preview)

Everyday, Faust greets you at the door. He also provides lunch for you, which you find strange, considering you see no other staff in the house besides you. Sometimes he talks to you as you eat, but since that first day you’ve felt he just does it out of pity. 

He seems nice enough, although you get the sense that even if he came from nothing, he’s forgotten what that’s like.

For the past few days, storm clouds have been gathering. Each day is grayer than the last. One the day...

Gator Boyfriend 4 (complete)

    Not long after the mess with Lady Tabitha, I was hired by none other than Lazarus Bean himself to find a ring that Lady Tabitha had in her possession. Apparently, it had been what Marv’s roommate had been trying to retrieve when he was infected with her magic. 


    It took a while, especially since her house had been dragged underground by the willows. But finally, with help from both Marv and my grandfather, we were able to find th...

Selkie & Kelpie Lovers (special preview)

You snort and cover your mouth, trying to keep from laughing. “Ok what?”

Aulay frowns at you. “Hush,” he hisses. “Kelpie’s mature in different stages,” he tells you. “Tavish has been around for a long time, but he’s still considered young for a Kelpie. He’s reached a certain level of sexual maturity, but he has yet to completely mature.”

Aulay’s expression is serious, so you take in what he says. “So what’s full maturity then?”

He looks at you, pouting...

    Marv’s apartment is surprisingly small, considering how big he is I figured he would have been somewhere else. He lets me in, showing me his friend’s room. The poor guy looked like he had the life drained from him. Rever let me see some of the case files, but everything was still vague, even for the police. 


    “You have no idea where we went the night before?” I ask Marv, knowing he’s been asked this question over a dozen ...

Werecoyote Girlfriend (special preview)

Jordan leads you towards the side where the wall is nothing but big bags of feed. She takes down a fifty pound bag with ease. “This is great for big dogs,” she replies. “Especially ones that I assume are quite spoiled.”

You chuckle. “Yes, he is that.”

Jordan leads you back up front, ringing up your purchases. “Do you need help taking this to your car?” She asks.

You look up at her and your heart flutters slightly. “Yeah, actually.”

Jordan smirks hefting up...

    I’ve been living in the city for almost a year now, and I’ve been bouncing from job to job ever since. Most people don’t want to hire a gator from the bayou, at least on appearance. I had left my home of Louisiana, hoping to find something better for myself, something exciting.


    A friend of mine offered me a place to stay with them, so I took them up on their offer. I was excited to try something new, get out of my comfort zone an...

“I just roughed up a shop keep,” he says as we walk down the street of the Goblin Market. He shrugs and tilts his head towards his shoulder. “You did all the leg work.”

“You had to give Jemima her payment,” I chuckle. “That must have been traumatic enough for you.”

Marv grins and laughs. “Yeah well...it wasn’t too bad. Jemima gets a bad rep I think. I just had to take my shirt off. That’s all.”

I smirk. “That’s all.” I look up at him. “You should go ...

    ‘It Never Rains in California’ is playing over the radio, ironic considering it’s raining right now. I’ve been asked by a friend to come help her grandmother. Apparently, the old woman is at death’s door and is seeing things. My friend thinks that somehow I can comfort her enough so she can slip away. I hate doing these kinds of jobs, but right now, work is slim, and I’ve been doing nothing but palm readings for drunks college kids.

I furrow my brow. “How many did they sacrifice?” I turn towards him, taking my amulet between my fingers.

“Everyone,” he replies. “They were attempting to put a curse on everyone in the bayou. They did it in a spot in the swamp, everyone was too afraid to go near it, so they were left there until the swamp took them.”

I swallow back a nervous lump in my throat. “Did the curse work?”

“I used to be a little blonde girl,” Marv replies.

I stare up at him as my...

    You’re looking at the ring on your finger, turning around the gold band as it catches the light from the window. Whenever you’re feeling stressed or downbeat, you look at the ring and remember the woman who put it on your finger.


    You had met her while touring a vineyard her family owned. You had gotten separated from your group and came across her while trying to find your way back. She was so beautiful, you could barely take your ...

Gator Boyfriend 2 (special preview)

I feel this suffocating presence around them, like thick black tar and shit, it wafts in the air, clinging to me and forcing me down. I stare, seeing the face of the person is both familiar and strange. Their eyes are black and they looked aged. But I know them. It’s my friend.

I collapse on the stairs, holding my head in my hands as I feel the toxic magic that has drowned them reach it’s disgusting fingers towards me. I stand up, stepping away and take out my phone, calling the cops.

Spider Alien BF (complete)

You work at a lab that has been placed in the middle of nowhere. The place is hidden amongst the trees, and to get in you have to pass through several security checkpoints along the road. Each checkpoint is guarded by military police and you have to present your ID at each one. 




Once you reach the actual lab itself, there is a thumb print scan and a retinal scan. After working there so long it has gotten to be a nuisance. You feel it is overkill, bu...

I sigh and step outside. The rain has stopped, but like the nurse said, it is so foggy I can barely see. I get into my car and I feel that magnet pull again. I look up, staring through the windows of the nursing home before I drive off.

I stop to get gas, but also because my nerves are shot from driving in this pea soup fog. As gas pumps I twist the amulet between my fingers. I fidget with it, watching as the glyphs shimmer. My grandfather had given this to me, just days before he disappeared ...

Haunted House (complete)

    You stare at the set of house keys in your hand incredulously. Some of them look like everyday modern keys, but most were the thick, iron ones you’d see in old movies. You glance up at your relative, or at least they claimed to be your relative. 


“Are you sure about this?” You ask.


They nod. “Of course!” They smile at you brightly. “It’s been all worked out. I have no use for the place. I figured, since you’re doing all t...

Deity Lover Maradon (complete)

    I have been traveling the seas most of my life. My mother was the captain of her own vessel, and I was born on the waves. My mother taught me to respect and fear the ocean. She always told me that we do not take more from the sea than we need, and we will always accept what the sea gives us.


    My mother believed in the god Maradon, and she would pray to them in the morning and evenings. On the seas, she made offerings to Maradon, giving ...

    For the last few years, you’ve been an intern on the Mars Hospitality Housing Project or MHHP. About a decade ago, an alien race seeking asylum from their own destroyed world, came and landed on Mars, which had similar conditions to their own world. It was a struggle for years between them and Earth. It had all seemed ridiculous to you, that Earth felt it had any claim on the unused planet. Finally, right around the time, you had entered your engineering program, you we...

(Please excuse me and the mild insanity I am going through. THIS is the story that nearly got lost and forgotten. Enjoy!)


I haven’t been back to the old house since I was little before I lost my eyes. The old house, well, it was a mansion really, had been in the family for generations. My grandmother grew up there, my great-grandfather grew up there. It was a place as old as the

town it was built in and carried the most stories with it.

    You’re three days into your journey through the Carpathian mountains. It’s been hard, but every day you feel a renewed vigor to keep going. You keep wanting to push forward more and more, but Niclas has had to hold you back. 


    “You can’t push yourself. If you do that, you’ll only make it worse for yourself in the long run,” he tells you, his hands clapped down on your shoulders as he tries to make you calm.

    For the last few years, you’ve been having dreams where you’re standing on the rocky crags of a mountain. You’re looking out over a small village, and you feel someone behind you. Their cold hands grab your wrist and pull you back into a cave. Outside is suddenly night and you hear the long, lone cry of a wolf.


    Sometimes the dreams are different, but they always end that way. A wolf howls as someone pulls you into a cave. The dre...

    The simple truth of the matter is that you’re running away. It sounds silly and like something from a bad rom-com, but it’s what you’re doing. Bad break-ups are never good, but this one was a cataclysmic breakup. It was apocalyptic. It was something the Justice League and the Avengers would try to stop. So you ran.

    The day started with your usual routine. You watered your greenhouse, the lavender garden, had a cup of tea with your breakfast, and then you did your usual tarot reading. As you lay out your cards, you’re surprised by the message you see. You usually just did a simple reading for yourself to see how the day will go. But these cards had quite a day for you. You felt like you were reading them wrong, but you rarely do. They told you that today, your love was in the stars...
