Night Market After Dark E - Experience (NSFW)

Belladonna - “One thing. I just want one thing that you’ve never done before. I want to be your first in something.”

Bella looked at me with a touch of amusement. The concept of a ‘first’ for her was not something she was used to. Not anymore. “My heart, I have done everything under the proverbial sun. Nothing quite shocks me anymore. I dare say it would shock you if I went into what I have been paid to do. Especially during my early years.�...

Beach Day - Milo

Rain fell from the lanterns in a torrential gust of sweet smelling wind and sea.  I squinted my eyes, trying to figure out just where it was that Milo had sent me and was kicking myself for my insistence on meeting him as opposed to just going with him earlier in the morning.  Slinging my bag higher upon my shoulder, I squinted towards the maze of rocks ahead of me. He had told me the third left from the right. Now that I was here, though, the third left from the right made the kind...

Post Chapter Five - Belladonna

Reese had never kept the cleanest of houses. There was always more clutter than Belladonna knew what to do with. Yet, the amount of items that littered the cottage now, felt almost like a slap to the face. An on purpose kind of degradation that he instigated to fill the ones who left him with guilt. Picking up an old wine bottle, Belladonna ran her fingers across the layers of dust.  Maybe she was projecting. Then again, she would never doubt Reese to be that petty.

“W...

Post Chapter Five - Hazel

A/N This is for if you used the key at Lucinda’s

The streets sprawled out into a cobblestone gray expanse of broken clutter and derelict memories. Hazel pitched forward, squeezing herself through a hole in the wall. Her chest was too tight and magic crackled at her fingertips, turning the skin there a muddy black.  Gone was the rich tone of the hands she used to know and instead decay slowly crawled forth, reminding her of the abomination she was becom...

Post Chapter Five - Milo

A/N This one may feel as if it does not have an ending. But that is because it is going to lead directly into chapter six when it comes out.

Milo had gotten good at faking sleep.  There was a rhythm to his breathing that he had to master years ago. A way in which he relaxed his body.  It was something he picked up as a child when Feebus had tried to demand that he stay home at night for his own safety. He’d fake sleep when Feebus did his rounds and then he’d ...

Post Chapter Five - Malcolm

The lights clicked off leaving the room in a soft evening glow. A single lamp shown from the kitchen and one more was positioned near the archway that separated the living room from the bedroom.  Quietly, Malcolm went about, lighting a few candles, giving the room a warm bit of ambience.  Lamplight was sleeping in his bed and for the first time, Malcolm felt some of his tension ease.  Having two out of the three people that mattered to him, under one roof, gave him a kind of pe...

NSFW ABC Prompt

D - Dirty Secret

Belladonna - 

“You what?”

“What?” Belladonna looked at me innocently from her position at the vanity. A dark glass of wine was in hand as she swirled it within her glass. “You asked what my fantasy was and I told you.”

“I asked what your dirty secret was,” I clarified. “You gave that up so easily.”

Belladonna smiled slightly. “Oh, but I’m not fini...

Post Chapter Five - Gabriel

The longevity of a single speck of dust was a span of time that superseded most elements.  Tell anyone this, and they would most likely disagree. But life within the embrace of the Knowing was different. It defied the logic of the lesser beings and created a series of rules that broke through the constriction of time.  It allowed for a single breath to be limitless. For the span of joy to be so all consuming that the world and its intricacies became lost.

Gabriel mi...

Chapter Five - Early Access

Surprise!

It is here! Welcome to Chapter Five. The chapter that feels like it has so many splits that my brain wanted to explode. This is the last chapter before we head out of the Night Market proper. Enjoy some moments with your RO's, dive further into the madness with Gabriel, and get to talk to Hazel a bit more.

Thank you for all your support. Be on the lookout for post chapter five shorts this month. They should be interesting. :)

The First Gatekeeper

Note: Created originally for Vickypink

Very little is known about the first Gatekeeper. The initial recording of one dates back to the time of the Ancients. Some speculate that the Gatekeeper was born in response to the Ancient’s ways, coming to fruition to keep the more powerful ones in check. Though what that entailed is not detailed in any of the writings, leaving some to wonder if they were purposefully forgotten.  

The first gate was opened inside of a ...

Post Chapter Short - Hazel

Under an ochre sky sat a girl. Lost to her own thoughts and unsuccessfully hiding from her pain. An unusual state for someone so loved but the child still hid. How could they not when monsters lurked from the darkest corners and there was a witch within the home.  Hazel always thought it funny that she ran across this girl. Just rocking in the middle of a desolate field.  Why didn’t the girl move? Why didn’t she at least try to run? Each night the carnage would rain down like bl...

Dev Log

Welcome to me being an incredibly overwhelmed panda!

Seriously, I made this vow to myself about two years ago that life was going to be lived with intention. More time with my family. Working in my yard. Writing. Reading. It made life busier, not slower.

Chapter Five is very much in the works. I should be importing the rest of it to twine today and then sending it off to the betas. From there, it just is a matter of how many mistakes I made. And let me tell you, if you ever feel...

Post Chapter Four - Malcolm

When Malcolm was about six, he had a nightmare. He dreamt he had been ripped from his mothers arms and stolen by a witch.  When he woke, he could feel it still.  The way his mother had tried to hold onto him. The bruises that had bloomed on his tiny arms as she tried to keep him curled against her chest. Her screams still echoed in his ears and when the witch had gotten her claws into him, she had ripped him away from love and safety and warmth, plunging him into a sticky green dark...

Post Chapter Four Gabriel

The moon was beautiful, hanging high in the sky and singing to the stars.  Silver glowing embers fell from it like rain, rolling across the ocean of night sky and disappearing into the cosmic lights that appeared only once every few moons.  Gabriel loved the sky when it was like this. There was such peace that hung above.

“Can you hear me, Warden?”

He hummed. The stars were talking again. Playing. Skipping from planet to planet. A smile...

Post Chapter Four - Milo

A dripping ember fell to the front porch, burning bright for a moment before being scuffed out under a boot.  Milo leaned against the chapel  door, watching the smoke rise from the cigarette and feeling the burn in his lungs.  He had needed a moment. Just one to get himself together.  Down in the basement, Malcolm and ‘Lamplight” sat. The two of them huddled together, whispering words of comfort.

Fuck them.

Filling his lungs with smoke...

Post Chapter Four - Belladonna

They were alive.

It was the singular thought that dominated her mind as she walked back towards the cathedral with the grimoire in hand. Of course, Belladonna already knew this. She had seen her love before now. Had talked to them. But this was different.  It was as if their presence had finally slotted into place and now Belladonna could only think of how she could make them corporeal again. Give solidity to a fading light.

The prompt this month is C for Cum. (dear lord what is my life)

Belladonna -

“More?” Bella whispered.  She was behind me, hands between my legs. “Do you like that pet?”

“We are supposed to be having a serious conversation,” I gasped. She had bombarded me the second I entered the room.

“Oh,” she pouted, “is this not serious enough for you? Well, l...

Post Chapter Three - Gabriel

The altar was placed amidst  a star field with a glittering cloak of silver dripping from each corner. In front, Gabriel kneeled.  He had not been to prayer in so long.  Forsaken by the Knowing, he had felt undeserving of such a thing. How could he pray to the very ones that had given him so many chances in life? It was his fault he was here. He of course knew this.  How many chances had the Celestial parent given him and how many times had he only greeted it all with utte...

Post Chapter Three - Belladonna

Belladonna ached. It was the type of ache that was bone deep and stripped her of every mask she held so dear.  Seeing her dear heart again had been harder than she expected. The effort it took to stand. To pretend. Her legs shook and her heart raced and yet she could do nothing but keep her carefully crafted control front and present as she gazed upon the one person she dreamed of at night. There was no room for mistakes. No room for a single slip up. Because the second Bel...

Lore - Games

Recreation throughout the Night Market varies but gaming halls are abundant throughout the realm. While the games themselves are varied, there is a tradition of passing on cards that is widely popular. Cards hold an old form of magic in them that has yet to be dispelled and most families have a few decks that they keep as prized possessions, displayed within their homes as talking points during large gatherings.

Decks are passed on from previous generations, collecting essenc...

Hazel Post Chapter Three

The front gate was stuck most of the time. Hazel couldn’t ever remember it being like that before but in recent months, it required more and more effort to push through.  The winding branches locked together in a steely embrace, keeping Hazel out. Even after a simple walk down the alleyway, collecting water from the fountain, she would have to cut her way back through upon return.  Hazel hated it. It felt as if her house was turning against her.  She would have to take more t...

Guess what?

Chapter Four is done. :)

Logically, this one is way shorter. However, I think this one packs a punch and I am so excited about it that I cannot wait until next month to post.

To all my members, free and paid

Hello everybody!

I've decided with Patreon's new free feature that it seemed kind of silly not to post all the lore for everyone. I already post all the art on Tumblr for everyone to see. I have gone through and unlocked all lore posts for everyone and also added them to a collection so they are easily found. They are all also tagged under "lore".

Enjoy!

Post Chapter Three - Milo/Mal

A/N: This will be post the secret scene in Chapter Three. If you have not gotten it on a romanced Milo route, I would go find it first.

The streets opened up into wide swaths of broken pavement as both Milo and Mal burst from the tavern. It was a little out of the way spot that was located inside a storm drain and that ran in an overgrown grass river out into the streets. Crumbling walls and flickering candles made a makeshift path back to the the functioning...

NM After Dark - Bottom or Top

Milo - “Bottom or top.” We were sitting at a bar, taking shots, when the question came out.  I didn’t know if I should feel embarrassed that I asked it, or simply just blame it on the drinks.

Milo, however, snorted, chasing his shot with a beer.  “You know the answer to that.”

“No. I know how you are with me. Or were with me.  But, we have realized now that it was all a ruse.”

He pointed a lit cig...

Hazel - pets

The morning was unseasonably cold.  There was something about this year that had produced far more chilly mornings than I had been used to.  Getting out of bed had been a chore that neither Hazel nor I were a fan of. Especially when most mornings, we woke up together, curled against each other's naked bodies. It was hit or miss which one of us would push the other out of bed first. Some mornings she would be far more responsible and toss the quilts from us to force us dow...

Belladonna - Pets

Belladonna

“What. Is that.” It did not come out as a question so much as a horrified squeak from me as I stared at what Belladonna was currently curled up against.  It wasn’t so much that she even had an animal, though that was odd to see all on its own, but more so, the situation in which she now had it. I had come to Bella tonight, with the understanding that she was waiting for me. And when I opened the door, she was naked in bed, surrounded by plum silk sheets.  I wa...

Chapter Three

The time is finally here!

Alright, I will admit it now. This chapter almost killed me. I am happy with how it turned out but damn was my personal life a lot of stop and go for writing. So, I hope you all enjoy it. There are a lot of different paths and choices. And as always, thank you so much for your support.

Night Market After Dark

A/N: All stories are 18+

We will be following the NSFW ABC's.  Starting with the letter A. After Sex

Milo- Chest heaving, Milo laid there, staring up at the ceiling while sweat dried on his skin. He was still half hard, his cock sticky against his thigh, while a nice bruise was forming from where he had been sucked to an inch of his life.  I was particularly pr...

Milo - Pets

The tap at my window came early in the morning. When I was still groggy from a night's sleep, only just waking and fixing something to help me start my day and enter the world.  Pulling back the curtains, I jumped. Milo’s face was practically pressed to the glass as he bounced up and down, trying to keep the cold from creeping into his bones.  Flinging open the window, I tilted my head t...
