Ryn of Avonside Chapter 100

** One freaking hundred chapters. Holy cow. And still so many more to go... **

“You have… how many people in your grove?” Cad asked with wide eyed excitement. “And you want me to come too? You want me to join your knights?”

I’d just finished explaining what the Order of Eleos was to him, and it had been an experience to remember. It was my defining memory of him, after all, his sense of innocent adventure. He was a romantic at heart, be it pretty gi...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 99

The obrec lodge had been altered by its inhabitants since I had built it. They had added all sorts of little things, like a balcony over the entrance. The biggest addition was the large slate roofed patio on one side, which they used to store their wagons out of the rain and work on any crafting that couldn’t be done inside.

Obrec rangers were posted out the front of the patio and main lodge entrance, but with my magic, I could sense several more lurking in the windows where humans co...

Digital Galaxies Chapter 60

** Gosh, this chapter was... lots. Anyway uh, I hope you all like it. Thanks for being my patrons, I really appreciate you all :) **

I woke the next day with my face pressed into the crook of Cerri's neck. Groaning, I pushed myself up and stared around, blinking in bleary confusion. We were back in our bed, although some of the cushions had been stolen and placed around us. When did that happen?

When I looked back to Cerri, I found her watching me with curious affection...

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 98

** Alrighty! Finally finished with the latest batch of chapters. They're going to be posted every 4 days, along with any Patreon-only story chapters I end up writing in between. I have six Ryn chapters ready, but I plan to write as fast as I can currently without stressing myself. That way this buffer should allow me to keep up a steady stream for a reasonable while. Thanks everyone for being so patient! Hope you like the chapter! **

I hoppe...

Digital Galaxies Chapter 59

** Awooooo. Sorry for the lack of updates! I'm building up a backlog of Ryn right now to release. Might take a bit but until then I'll be releasing chapters of DG and Esmie for all of you <3. Thanks again for being my patrons!!! **

I was pulling myself into Cerri's arms the moment the other two left the house. We had all worked together to get the house functional, unpacking everything and setting it up. It was a changed space from what we'd walked into yesterday.

Pa...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 74

** Okay, getting a bit tired of Trouble again. I think I might chill out for a few days then swap to a different story for regular releases. Hope you've enjoyed this little run of chapters and don't worry, I intend to get back to it soon. Thanks! **

We unequipped our armour so we could actually kiss properly, because all the hard metal edges and shit made it very uncomfortable. Dawn seemed nervous, like the whole formality of me kissing her like this was exciting to her. I wo...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 73

** Thanks for reading! If you'd like to follow me on twitter, that's here. I like to retweet buns and talk about how much I love my GF. Also gay stuff, obviously. **

Further down into the complex, and we discovered that it wasn’t a simple ruin at all. It was an ancient town, long since raided and abandoned. The whole thing was a network of tunnels and little burrows, with a complex air passage system ...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 72

** This 4 day schedule thing is pretty reasonable for my current level of writing speed. I think I shall continue it! **

The big guys arrived in a cascade of splintering wood and screaming rage. Six meters in height, the huge deer-headed minotaurs wore crude armour made of stone slabs. In their hands were clubs made out of grey marble, their surfaces dented and scratched from countless past battles.

Dawn, who was on the other side of the clearing and right in their path...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 71

** Hooo boy. I've had a crappy last few days. So much stress. Anyway, hope you enjoy the chapter! I'm going to go and pass out. :D **

The portal was off in a courtyard behind the enchanter’s guildhall, carefully enclosed within a set of delicate stone warding totems. It looked different than I’d expected, the portal. When someone says portal, you think of a glowy blue circle or something, but nah, that wasn’t this thing.

Instead, it was a ten foot diamete...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 70

“Where do we even go to find strong mobs around here?” I asked Dawn as we left the manor after a few hours of getting ready. “And where is Civette, anyway?”

“She sent us a group message,” she laughed, glancing sideways at me. “Something about going to go and get some experience doing easier stuff because she feels like she’s letting us down by being a noob. She’ll hang out with us during the evenings and stuff. As for stuff to do, there’s usually a whole bunch of dun...

Changes to my patreon

Hey all! Just to let you know, I've had to adjust my payout currency from USD in order to protect myself from the volatility of it vs my home currency. This won't affect current patrons, or so it told me when I clicked the buttons. Instead, any new patrons or people who drop and then come back will have to pay in the new, slightly higher price.

The price is higher because when I made my tiers, they were worth more in my home currency. Now that the USD has taken a bit of a nosedive... we...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 69

Kimberly hung out with us all day, until finally at nearly midnight she left for her new apartment. She might be shy, confused, and traumatized, but the girl could get shit done, that was for sure. She’d managed to find a place to live that wouldn’t ask questions and wouldn’t rat her out to either the cops or the church.

I had to admit that I was more than a little worried for her. Sketchy accommodation didn’t seem like the best place to be hopping into a pod, but she assured me...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 68

** So, I'm going to attempt a new release cadence. One chapter of trouble every four days. Let's see how this goes. **

I rushed to get cleaned up while Dawn washed her hands, both of us giggling wildly as we did so. God, I loved my girlfriend so much. We were such a perfect fit for each other.

It didn’t take me long to clean up, and I hopped back down the stairs in a rush. I was excited to meet Kimberly and finally see the girl behind the character I had met ingame. I...

Esmie the Calamity Chapter 19

** So how are we all feeling about this story? It's certainly taken a turn in a different direction from what it used to be. Hope you're having as much fun with it as I am! **

Esmie’s PoV

Iria was kissing me.

My whole world was on fire with the taste of her lips, and each gentle movement sent shocks of warmth down between my legs. I could feel my unfamiliar anatomy pulsing with the staccato rhythm of my heartbeat like it was beating a marching c...

Esmie the Calamity Chapter 18

** This one's a two parter :D. **

Esmie’s PoV

Showing Iria around the house was a quick affair, because apparently she’d already watched our recordings. That was sort of embarrassing, but it saved time, I guess.

As we were showing her around the house, however, we came to a realisation. We had a problem. There used to be three bedrooms in the house, but one had been converted into a crafting room instead. Even more of a problem, we ha...

Esmie the Calamity Chapter 17

** One of my rules with this story is to never curtail a random tangent my imagination takes with this story. Esmie wants to do something? I gotta write it. This chapter is one of those times... **

Esmie’s PoV

“You okay?” Iria asked, giving me an open, friendly smile.

Oh god, oh god, oh god. She was so fucking hot, what the hell? The pretty mane of feathers, the little patches of multi-hued scales, the easy smile? She even had a big feathere...

Esmie the Calamity Chapter 16

Iria’s PoV

Before I was finished with character creation, I asked Ruth for her thoughts on the character. She was extremely happy with my work, saying that I would be a good counterpoint to Esmie’s cuteness and Lynna’s pretty face. I guess that meant I was still rather far into the hot end of the spectrum.

With that done, I made sure to pick the closest spawn to where the other two were. Of course, there was a degree of luck with the spawns, so I’d have to...

Esmie the Calamity Chapter 15

** Gosh, this character has really taken on a life of her own. Like, holy shit. I'm finding myself wanting to focus an entire story on her. She was a spur of the moment addition!!! Whytyyyyy. Goodness gracious. I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I did while writing it! Let me know what you think in discord or in the comments! Thank youuuuuuu **

George’s PoV

My new friends were very odd. Fun, cute, and definitely likeable, but odd. Most important...

Esmie the Calamity Chapter 14

Esmie’s POV

“Welcome, girls!” Ruth said brightly as we entered. “How has your week been?”

“My dreams can’t decide whether they should show me nonsensical sewing patterns, the taste of dried delidrion, or how to set up a medium shot of my face,” I replied, pouting theatrically.

“Working hard, then?” our manager asked with a full-throated laugh.

Lynna joined her with a chuckle of her own and pulled a seat out for me to sit in before s...

Esmie the Calamity Chapter 13

** Don't worry, we'll get back to G's POV for her explorations of character creation soon :D **

Esmie’s POV

I got home with beginner books on jewelry, enchanting, alchemy, and sewing. Well, I also got home with a very chivalrous Fletcher by my side, sort of. He escorted me as far as my neighbourhood, saying that any further and he’d feel like he was stalking me. I was a little confused by that, but whatever. I was new to the whole guy-girl interacti...

Esmie the Calamity Chapter 12 - Raptor

** So, here's the first part of my new and crazy plans for this story. Such as they are. Hope you enjoy this new character and I'll see you in the next one! **

George's POV

The woman sitting across from me was the sort who managed to look physically intimidating without adhering to the former descriptor whatsoever. Around us, the hustle and bustle of the trendy United Nations City Cafe continued as though there wasn't a dragon within their midst. Not li...

Esmie the Calamity Chapter 11

** Holy shit, I've been so freaking sick. It's been the worst, because I've really really wanted to write! I have so many fun ideas for this story. My plan right now is to keep it as an exclusive to patreon until a site I've been looking at gets up and running properly. Then I'll post it over there too.

This story is also going to be a little different in terms of plot progression and what have you. What I mean by that, is that I'm going to meander and fluff around having fun without re...

Esmie the Calamity Chapters 1-10

Hello! I've decided to rework this story a bit to renew my interest in it. As such, here's an epub with the updated version. It doesn't change much that's actually there, Esmie is now a bunny-redpanda hybrid and the two girls are going to be futuristic vtubers now. :D

How to find the rest:

Currently the best way to find the rest is to use the tags feature. You can click the "Esmie the Calamity" tag at the bottom of this post to find it.

Gauntlette Chapter 27

** I told myself I was going to write a whole bunch of trouble after I started back on public stories again but now I'm having so much fun with this one it's difficult to stop! Guess I'm staying here xD. We all know what happens when I try to resist the direction my brain wants to take us. **

“Oh, shit,” I said, looking down at myself. Yup, those were little paws. I’d gotten so into the scritches that I’d lost control and slipped into fox form.

“You’re so cu...

Gauntlette Chapter 26

** Awooooo, more of our other favourite fox girl! No, not that one, the other other favourite! hehe. Enjoy!! **

I bounced up the steps to Eva's house on Saturday morning like a bundle of nervous ferrets. It had been a while since I went to her house, almost a year in fact, due to covid.

It hadn't changed much since I last saw it. A few more plants, a few more odd knicknacks, but still the same.

Their house had been a fairly standard white picket fence dealio at on...

Trouble With Horns Chapter 67

** I'm currently binking between stories, seeing where I land. Also uh... have fun with this one. Hehe. **

Kimberly Gray: Hey, are you there?

I almost dropped my controller when I saw the message come in on my phone, and I lunged to pick it up.

“You okay?” Dawn asked, leaning over to snuggle against me while she paused our game.

We’d been playing a coop RPG game, some cute turn based thing with goofy characters and hi...

Gauntlette Chapter 25

“Well, we all want to help people here,” Dremea said in her soft, gentle voice. “Only problem is that… well, with the exception of you, we don’t really know what we’re doing with magic.”

“It’s not just magic that you’ll need to learn about,” I replied. “I’ve been practicing more mundane stuff as well, plus getting fitter. My casting style is really active so it’s sort of a requirement for me, but I’d highly suggest we all do some sort of martial arts traini...

Digital Galaxies Chapter 58

** Awoooo. I might switch to another story now. Idk. Feeling like I want something else. **

I bit my lip and gave my new girlfriend a look to let her know she could answer Gloria’s question based on how much she was comfortable telling. I didn’t mind anyone knowing how much I loved her. I wouldn’t be able to hide it anyway. She was everything to me now. So long as she was happy and loved me back, I think I’d be alright. God, just looking at her took my breath away som...

Digital Galaxies Chapter 57

** These twoooooooo. They're so good Q.Q **

“You know, I’m actually amazed at how good you are with your hands,” Cerri commented as I flopped down onto the only sofa we’d put together so far.

My head almost immediately popped up and I gave her an amused look. “You what now?”

I could actually see the gears turning in her head as she tried to compute why I was looking at her like that. Then she went red and laughed. “No, I mean… you built the coffee ...

Digital Galaxies Chapter 56

** So it looks like Alia wasn't done with me. Woooooo. Feeling like absolute shit right now and have no energy to do anything other than write cute fluff. It fuels my soul and keeps me happy. Also distracts me from the looming bills ohgodohgod anxiety. **

A notification woke me and I tried to stretch out my legs, only to realise that they were all tangled with Cerri's. Happiness blossomed through my chest as memories of our night's activities surfaced.

Cerri was sleepin...
