I woke early in the morning, my head groggy from a late night where I learned how to make dumplings. Hazel had a big family dinner coming up and Malcolm, in typical Malcolm fashion, was going to outdo her. So, starting late yesterday afternoon, we started making dumplings. A task that I assumed was only going to take us a few hours. When it became late at night and we were still stuffing pocke...

The roofs that look over the market are set in several tiers. Children claim that they were once considered the giant's steps for ancient beings present within the market long before anyone walked the streets. The roofs span across the Night Market, lanterns hung between their gaps, each building rising higher and higher with an effort to reach the stars. Stacked upon each other in haphazard t...

“Thank you for coming.”
Gabriel was waiting for me in the front lobby of the precinct. The cavern had still not recovered from the recent storm and water dripped down the cave walls into small, fenced off puddles. Tysi, at the front desk, was ducking under an umbrella and trying very hard not to glare at their supervisor as they were forced to work under this condition. They locked e...
2024-03-11 23:48:54 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys,
I had made a post on Tumblr a while ago for some NSFW asks that I would answer here on Patreon. I didn't really get any of them so I haven't posted yet. And I get it, not everyone wants to out their kinks. LOL!
Just letting you all know that it may not be something that comes to fruition. Also, I am sorry if anyone's got deleted that was sent. I was recently under a bit of a cyber attack where someone thought it would be funny to sexually harass me. Because you kno...

The room was exquisite. The kind that I hadn’t even dreamed of. It was placed at the top of a bluff, overlooking the market. Above the lanterns, I could see the stars shining. They winked in and out of existence. I raised my hand, waving back at them, watching as stardust swirled to spell out my name, asking me if I could come play.
“Not tonight,” I told them. Not most nights, now....

The door slammed, shaking the false windows and rattling the few pieces of furniture that were not nailed down within the room. Gabriel stormed inside, ripping the scabbard from his belt and tossing it carelessly to the corner. The blade stuck within the soft wood floor with a slight squelch as silver cracks of light shot out, encircling the room and sinking into the walls and ceiling in a hazy ethe...

It had been a long road. Getting to the point where I would even go to Milo’s house was an act that had not been easy to bring myself to. But here I was, following hastily described directions, with a bottle of ghost wine in my hand. Because this was a new start. This was the beginning of us trying.
Milo had left the distillery and risen up in the world. He now lived on a quiet a...

The roar shredded from beneath the floor, ripping up through the ground and tearing into the dark. The shadows were torn apart, screaming into the abyss as one by one they were attacked by the unseen. A glowing sickly green brightened the room, magic cracking like a whip and splitting the air. Hazel floated several feet off the ground, her arms outstretched as poison dripped from her fingers.<...

Authors Note: At an undisclosed time in Mal and MC's relationship.
The rain was coming down in droves by the time we got inside. It was a small shack beneath the Eternal Staircase. Apparently you could rent them out for a few buttons and a promise. We should have trudged home that night, but the streets were flooded once more. An ever growing problem now that the mouskin had closed...

2024-02-05 03:12:40 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
It’s been a while.
I am working on chapter three. It has taken a lot more time to get back to work after the holidays than I previously expected. We had a slew of birthdays and a really bad ice storm that left us with a lot of broken bits of our property and a hole in our roof. So, needless to say, it’s been a difficult few months of just trying to schedule in some creative time. The juices are low just because life has been so busy. I do want to assure eve...

I was curious about my new Gatekeeper. He was younger than I expected. Someone that hadn’t taken the role by choice but instead had it thrust upon him. That in itself wasn’t highly unusual but he seemed almost in shock. His body could not handle the pain the first week and he fell into a fever. The second week, he was concerned, looking at the world like it was his enemy. The paranoia heightened...

The waterwheel spun slowly, trickling into a small brook before it meandered down the rocks and towards the depth of the forest beyond. The surrounding field was covered in dew while fog rose in generous curls towards the night sky. Gabriel stood next to me, a bottle of wine loose in his hand. He had dressed down for the occasion. Wearing a pair of dark black slacks and a navy blue sweater.

Note: This is an AU where Bella's parents never died.
Belladonna held court at the front of the cathedral. Pale thighs crossed each other while black spider silk draped across the rest of her body. Each forearm rested upon the edges of her throne, black lacquered nails tapping impatiently.
“I don’t think I’m making myself very clear,” she was saying, addressing a room of vampires...

The sun was bright. Living within a world where the light didn’t touch, where lanterns provided the nutrients for plants to grow and the streets were lit with candles to illuminate the darkest corners, created a sense of blindness. So when Milo and I stepped through the gate, it took the two of us a long moment to even adjust to the sun. Dappled as it was through the trees, it still caused my eyes...

“I got these.” Holding a bouquet of pink flowers in my hand, I showed Hazel the bouquet for approval. The market was bustling. People running back and forth in what I would like to believe was a similar situation. Beholden to a right of passage in every relationship. Meeting the mother.
Hazel looked at the flowers, catching her lower lip between her teeth. Her hair hung in kinky wave...

“Here.”
I opened the window of my home to a large mug of something steaming and foul being shoved into my face. When I tried to move out of the way, the mug followed me, floating right in front of my eyes, the stench of it making them water.
“Gabriel,” I coughed. “Stand down. What is that?” I waved a hand in front of my face, retreating into my little home. Gabriel was ...

A cold hand was on the back of my neck as I was marched into a private room and forced to sit on the settee. I fell unceremoniously, feeling my entire world spin.
“What were you even thinking?”
Belladonna stood over me, eyes lit bright gold with anger. Her hands were positioned upon her hips, drumming against the bare skin of her thighs. She wore a series of straps that held up thin ...

When I woke, Milo was no longer wrapped around me. The fire was blazing and the warm scent of earl grey tea filled the air. My stomach rolled in protest, wanting both food and wanting to snuggle back down into the blankets and ignore the world forever. The clanking of porcelain was forbidding me from sinking too far into my dreams, however. And with Milo next to me, snoring softly, there was n...

“You’ve got to be kidding me.” Milo was banging his head against the frosted window, pressing his fingers to the glass like a little boy, disappointed that he couldn’t go out and play.
“It’s not so bad, is it?” I had a blanket wrapped around me and was peering out at Milo through the very small expanse that I allowed for my eyes and nose. “We could still get home.”
“S...

The pixie messenger service is below the Night Market streets. Within a low hanging cavern, the pixies conduct the biggest trade within the market, being responsible for generating most of the commerce while also solely responsible for long distance communication. Pay enough of a fee, and they can even get a message outside of the market walls to different realms. As long as a scroll or letter have ...

Malcolm was tired. Far more tired than he wanted to let on. Coming back from the dead wasn’t supposed to be easy. It wasn’t like he had ever encountered anyone that found it invigorating. But this was different. Like he couldn’t get enough sleep. At any given moment, his entire body still wanted to sink beneath the ground and rest. Wandering aimlessly inside the grey space of the market, witho...

Chapter Two is now up!
I'm not going to lie, this was some coding hell. Please report if you see a code break. I clicked through most of it myself so I am hoping I caught them all but one or two always seem to slip through the cracks. Especially in the second half of the chapter with all the variation.
Hope you all enjoy! Code and link are below
Belladonna felt her stomach roll. Pushing aside her goblet, she stared at it for a long moment, her nose wrinkling in disgust. It just hadn’t tasted quite right lately. The blood was too thick and congealed.
“Please, mistress,” someone was begging. “We are not harboring the man in which you speak. Please. We just…”
Their face turned purple as they began to gasp, the necklace ...

“You’re a fucking idiot.”
Milo arched in pain as the needle stuck through him and a black thread was laced within his skin. “That’s what I’ve been told,” he said through a grimace.
“Stop fighting goblins, dipshit.”
Milo lay back on the rickety bench, looking at the individual with the jet black hair and piercing eyes. Rooke had certainly never been one to sugar co...
