Jealousy - Florian

Florian quite literally wishes he could wither away at this point.

You’re all cooped up in some backwater inn, far from home, and he doesn’t have any real jurisdiction right now. He has no guards to order this man dragged away, and he’s uncertain if his intervention would even be necessary. You’ve yet to notice the scarred sell-sword leering in your direction, so why does it make his skin crawl?

You say something to Marcella, the both of you two cups deep, and your laughte...

Plans for June!

  • The Unseelie Release (coming soon as I figure out keys and currency confusion)!

Fallen Lights Ch 1 Pt 1

Password: JANPATREONUPDATE

Here it is! This is the first part of the Fallen Lights update! We made it despite me locking myself out of itch.io and having to reset my account lmfao.

This is the first part of the January update, as the second had some major bugs discovered that I'm ironing out. If you notice any issues with this version, please let me know.

For now, enjoy beginning your quest and starting to break down Emil/ia's shields (if you want to, of course). You also ge...

Disenchanted Update Live!

Password: DISENCHANTED19

The update is live! You'll need a new save as saves are broken because I fixed some old wonky stuff.

I've decided to call this update part of chapter one still, as once I looked at what chapter three would've been, it would've been as long as chaps one and two combined.

Finish orientation! Meet Amri Singh! Watch Theo kick someone's kneecaps in! All that fun stuff!

Again, apologies for the hold-up. There was a game-breaking error towards the end...

Wraith Short Story

Wraith won the April poll, so here is their short story. It's short and perhaps a bit cryptic, but that is the nature of someone who can't even remember their own name.

It's cold, but that's normal.

It's dark and endless and an utter void, and all of those things are normal, too.

At least, it used to be. Then their world was shattered with light and they were dragged into your nightmares and eventually your life, though they're not certain there's much of a separati...

Eli & Mari Short Story

A short featuring Mari and Eli, two of the ROs who are gender selectable. This story features F!Mari and M!Eli.

“This is wrong.”

“Piss off, Eli.”

“This is wrong, Mari!” He bursts out, watching the girl’s face shutter and become cold, “Please, listen-“

“I thought I said piss off?” She sneers, “You act so high and mighty, but you don’t know anything.”

“I know going on some crusade isn’t the right way to handle your grief.”...

Orion Short Story

His feet are sore.

Don't come back.

His lungs ache.

Don't come back.

The capital looms before him, and his horse is so tired he has to nearly drag her through the gates of Valrin. The guards cast him curious looks, because why wouldn't they. A thirteen year old with little more than a sack of clothes? What exactly does he think he's going to find in the heart of Leydon?

Nothing. He thinks he'll find nothing. It's still better than home though. View Post

Luci Short Story

Luci is given neutral pronouns here!

They’re not sure when they began to regret the way things went down.

Maybe when they heard rumors of you crying in the bathroom? When you would come to class with red-rimmed eyes and ignore their gaze? Or when they finally, finally, realized they missed you and tried to talk to you right before graduation?

You had left. Fled at the sight of them.

Luci was well aware that Cameron had always been uneasy about the situation....
