Of the Realm #4

“Get up,” Izel rounded on them. “Kiss me again. This is your fault.”

My fault?!”

“You didn’t kiss me back.”

The hero gaped at him, sitting up more in stunned outrage than anything else. “That wasn’t a kiss, that was you mashing your mouth against my face. You didn’t even ask!”

“Who asks before kissing someone!?”

“Anyone with a reasonable view of consent!” The hero took a deep, calming breath. They still continued throug...

Come Home #2

Could you potentially expand on that story about the hero lying to the villain that they'd been poisoned?

Part 1 

“Is this your forever home, now?”

The protagonist peeled their eyes open with great difficulty, their vision taking a moment to unblur and come into focus.

The antagonist stood at the end of the bed. There was no alarm blaring their e...

The Dreams of You and Me

Might I request: a hero who defeated a villain keeps having dreams about them, to the point where they're not certain if they're real or not? <3

First part included

It couldn’t be the villain, they knew that. There was absolutely no way. The hero had checked the footage at the prison and the villain was still there, doing nothing interesting, in their maximum security cell that the hero had been reassured (multiple times) suppress...

The Forbidden Section #22

“Don’t,” Xavier said. His jaw was a hard line, set grimly against the possibility of wobbling. “Don’t say anything.”

Akira had – well, he’d considered it, trying to say something, but honestly he didn’t know what to say. It wasn’t like ‘sorry’ was going to fix it. He wasn’t entirely if he was, and if he was, what specifically he was sorry for. There was no good way to go from being about to maybe kiss each other to cement a political alliance, to getting Xavier...

The Forbidden Section #21

“Long live the Dark Lord.” Eiran’s voice was soft, musing almost, as he peered out of the window into the gardens.

Every member of the Quinfell family shrank a little further into their seats, as if that might make them sufficiently invisible to the Dark Lord’s considerable wrath.

Akira sat on one of the conservatory chairs, cradling a cup of tea, gaze fixed on the ramrod-straight line of Eiran’s back. He ignored the debris of the previous night’s party beyond the glas...

Of Course #2

Part 1 

It took less than a week, after paperwork was signed and the official press announcements made, for a new villain to try their luck at taking over the city. With the hero’s villain gone, there was a power vacuum to be filled after all. No big bad wolf, and no hero, to snap at the heels of anyone who else who might tip the playing field in one direction or another.

The hero was on their fe...

“So,” the hero said. “How do we do this?”

The first time they had ended up in Realm, it was because a portal had opened up in the back of their closet. It had been a Saturday morning. They’d been invited to a party later that day, and had been consumed by the familiar feeling that they hated everyt...

A Villainous Anniversary (NSFW)

Could you write a mxm nsfw story about a supervillain that catches and 'gift's the hero to their supervillain lover so that the two might 'share' them? Like, the supervillains are uber terrifying and the hero's all bloodied and beaten up from the fight/chase?

Of the Realm #2

Part 1 

It did occur to the hero that they could simply pretend to beg and then get back to Realm and defeat Izel over again. Or try to, anyway. It might even be for the best. It surely wasn’t good to have a magical monstrosity swanning around the normal world. What if Izel decided he wanted to destroy the planet? Or take over it? He still had magic.

On the other hand, that plan...

S(l)ay Your Preyers #2

Part 1 

After every game of Slay your Preyers, there was a victory ceremony. Usually that meant the Predator was given their Preyer – dead or alive – to do whatever the Predator pleased with. When a Preyer won, it was a public opportunity to hand over the money and do more interviews to tide over interest until the next time that the games were on.

The last Preyer to win had be...

All The World's a Stage

“You’re supposed to look after them!”

The villain’s voice quivered with fury, eyes wild, as their gaze moved between the hero and the hero’s mentor. Their caretaker. The love of the hero’s supposed bloody life or whatever.

“They’re fine,” their mentor said. “Not a scratch on them. They’re just being dramatic.”

The villain’s hands balled into fists. “That why you have them in a big glass cage?”

“They have a habit of losing control when th...

Heads up

Hey

Just a heads-up, I've got COVID which means I'm knackered and so writing has slowed down. I'm still working on stuff, but I can only do smaller chunks at a time between sleeping.

I've got the next 700 odd words of s(l)ay your preyers and aim to have something up tomorrow, whether it's that or an entirely self-indulgent hurt/comfort piece no one asked for :p

But yeah, basically, stuff is coming and I'll catch up later this month!

A game of spies and dancing #2

Part 1 

Of course, she didn’t want to work for Devereux and Morgan. Even being glib it was about more than the pay – the two of them were monsters. Possibly, even, entirely deluded monsters with their chatter about ‘our kind’ and hearing heartbeats.

What, did they think they were vampires or something? Demons? Some other supernatural creature of myth and legend? It was absurd.

Would you be interested in doing one where the hero was pulled into another dimension to fight their villain and won, finally getting to return home. Later, the villain returns and follows the hero back to their world. Preferably with a dark and obsessive/possessive villain?

“I can’t help them if you don’t tell me what the problem is,” the villain said, through clenched teeth. “Isn’t that your whole supposed spiel? Helping people?”

“If they wanted to tell you-“

“-Why won’t they tell me?”

The hero blinked at them slowly from the other side of the glass. They were cuddling the avocado pillow, looking obscenely harmless and slightly bleary-ey...

The Preyers were released on the edge of the arena – a different one each year – and told to run when the buzzer beeped.

Glamour #2

Hello! I was thinking about "Glamour" recently and wondered if you would continue it? I have so many questions about the vampire's estranged (???) love - would love to see what happens when the human look-alike is sent to her - or when she sends the vampire one of her look-alikes of them.

Like Them

“You know,” the hero said, hands buried in their pockets. “I never thought – I don’t think – I’m one of them.”

The villain froze next to them.

“I know I’m more like you.” Something like a smile played across the hero’s lips, and something like tragedy flickered in their eyes as they glanced over. “I’ve always known that.”

“That’s why you pretend at normal so hard.”

The hero inclined their head. They looked away when the villain glanc...

In the night when the moon looks lonely

“It looks lonely, doesn’t it? The moon.”

They sat squashed side by side on Enid’s bedroom windowsill, not quite touching. They were fourteen years old. It was early summer, the languid heat of the season already a stifling promise on the air, begging for windows to be thrown open in hope of a breeze.

The windows were not open. The windows were never open.

The curtains were drawn just a crack, a keyhole splinter, allowing the silvery light to slice between them. If Je...

Hey guys

As you may have noticed from my occasional coy posts on the matter...I am planning to publish my fantasy novel, The God Key. (Woo!)

How to describe The God Key? 

The God Key is Marvel and Black Mirror's literary problem child all grown up, desperate for a nap, and having relationship problems.
In other words - picture a gay "friends to lovers to enemies, re-united to be reluctant allies" dynamic, and then make ...

Akira would have liked to say he did something spectacularly and unprecedentedly powerful in the blur that followed. Maybe came into a magical inheritance he didn’t know he had even. As it was, he blinked at the stranger – not Eiran, not Eiran, not Eiran – preoccupied with a quiet airless ‘oh’ and putting a hand to his stomach.

Apparently, being stabbed hurt a lot more than duelling practice.

He sank down the tree as his knees embarrassingly buckled beneath him.
