“Billows! Billows!” Hazel was walking around the garden, hands on her hips. “Where did that cat get to,” she muttered. She had a bottle of cream in her hand but no cat butting up against her ankles for his treat. It had been a few days. And while that wasn’t entirely unheard of for Billows, it didn’t leave Hazel feeling the best about his disappearance. However, she had a tendency of bei...

Knees cracking against the ground, pain pulsed through him as he was doubled over, hand on the wall before him in an effort to try and ground himself. It wasn’t often that Gabriel was taken down. Especially by something so lesser. But today, his heart had been beating erratically and sweat and coated his brow in a winter chill. So when the goblin appeared and blasted him in the back, h...

While not every district celebrates the holiday, the ones that do turn the night of Halloween into a month-long event. The alleys are decorated with pumpkin lanterns. Live bats swoop through the cobblestone streets. And every vendor, every shop, carries candy for day and night trick or treat session. Kids young and old partake in the event, all of it leading to a weekend long carnival of dancing, bo...

“We call upon the dark forces. We gather you into our arms and home and bid you to do our… bidding. We offer you this humble offering of last year's candy and this year's left over pumpkins from the garden. And we call upon you for your protection. Love. Security. And humbly request at least four more chickens this spring.”
I raised my brow at my son, his little cherubic face staring bac...

“He’s not coming.”
I looked at my daughter out of the corner of my eye, the blond wisp of her hair curling across her grey eyes as she stared into the dark alley.
“He’ll be here,” I assured.
“He probably had to go stab someone,” my son said. “Daddy’s good at stabbing people.”
I sighed. “Your father is not stabbing someone. This is just one of his busie...

“I don’t see why we have to do this.”
Belladonna was behind the changing screen and had been for the last hour. Meticulously preparing herself for tonight. She had come home irritated, saying that there was some sort of problem with a current batch of fledglings and she had half a mind to just kill them all and use their bodies as decorations. Which promptly sent our daughter...

A/N: An AU story set far in the future with an MC that chose to have children.
“Trick or treat!”
I heard the proclamation from the kitchen as I was trying to get together the last little bits of enchanted candy so we could set out a bowl. The night was still early but in a place like the Night Market, trick or treating began from the time the little ones awoke, ghosts and go...

“You will not be fucking me tonight.”
I sighed, lying on my stomach, wrists and ankles tied to either side of the bed. “I don’t know of any night where I’ve been allowed to fuck you so that is not a surprise.”
The painful glide of soft and buttery leather cut across my skin. I hissed in response while Belladonna stuck out her lower lip, clucking her tongue in disapproval. “...

I hope everyone is doing the best they can out there and that heading into the end of the year we are all giving ourselves peace. This blog is going to be in two parts. First is going to be the technical stuff for the development of the games and the second part is more of my personal stuff.

“I’m not fucking you in an alleyway,” I said, walking out of the bar with a dejected Milo trailing behind me.
“I will quite literally give you anything you want for you to suck my dick at this point,” the man whined. I could feel his heat as he pressed himself against my back, the two of us walking down the street together. He was hard and aching, as he had been for most of the night...

There had been a flurry of wisps that morning. They fought just outside in the garden, bursting into crackling balls of flame. Hazel had looked out the window with a small bit of irritation but hadn’t seemed all that concerned. Meanwhile, I was almost certain that a fire was going to start. Apparently, the wisps just did this a few times a year. It was their mating ritual. The little ember s...

There is an old wooden sign that has hung within the market far longer than anyone can remember. It was once embossed in gold, but time slowly faded its luster. Trinkets used to hang from the ornate metal that clutched the sign tight. Baubles of cogs and gears, gemstones and muffins, all hung from the plaque. Yet, there was no alley. Not until recently.
One of the newer portions of...

A/N Spicy scene between male mc and Gabriel. MC takes the more dom position.
Falling to the flat of my back I stared up at the ceiling. Rocky grey cavern walls loomed above me with little specks of too bright lights. The floor was only partially soft, a mat beneath me to protect my spine. Gabriel stood, towering above me dressed in only a tight shirt and joggers.
“You ...

I woke to a crash. At first, I assumed the wisps were at it again. They had been fighting with each other lately and had been knocking over the fence and ceramic pots outside during their scuffles. But, when it sounded again, I realized it was not only coming from inside the house, but was accompanied by muffled little sounds of irritated distress. Getting out of bed, I went to investigate, bl...

Authors note: Between Gabriel and female MC. Set in an undetermined time
Pushing his chair back, I climbed in his lap, my legs hugging either side of his hips. When I took the quill from his fingers, there was mild irritation that crossed his eyes. The kind that said I was reaching a boundary that he did not wish for me to tread. Of course it was going to be a work-related boundary...

Authors note: Between Belladonna and female MC. Set in an undetermined time
“Kneel.”
Leather straps crisscrossed over Belladonna’s body, wrapping her in black and pushing her ample breasts upwards. Dark, strappy heels laced up to the meat of her thigh as she walked around me. I dropped to my knees, swallowing thickly, chest red and heaving. I had entered a dark room, wi...

Authors note: Between Milo and female MC. Set in an undetermined time
The scent of beer and sweat filled the heady air around me as I entered the small tavern. It was a literal hole in the wall, located at the bottom of a hot spring where leaky pipes made the passage way down muggy and nearly unbreathable. So of course this was Milo’s favorite spot. Because why wouldn’t it be.

What can we expect for Bella’s route?
Book 2 is going to be an interesting point for Bella. Most of book 1 was spent with her playing a lot of things close to chest as she continued to plan her revenge on Kavatti and take what she believed was her rightful position. But, like with many things, the grass is always greener. We will be seeing Belladonna struggling with Baronhood and the rules and limitations that are applied to h...

“We were under the impression that you would be making a bit more of an effort.”
Belladonna forced herself not to roll her eyes. I could see it now. The small twitch along her hairline that said she was hiding the way she truly felt. While she was a master at keeping her emotions and her ire under locks at these meetings, I couldn’t help but notice it had gotten harder and harder f...

“Fuck!”
A blade clattered to the floor, bent at the tip and caked with something soft and spongy. Two bodies lay inert, their faces pressed down into the boggy soil. The sludge of the river that ambled by was tinted red and murky brown. Milo collapsed against the side of the drain tunnel, a hand pressed tight to his side.
“Fuck,” he muttered ag...

There was a sad softness to Hazel’s face. The kind that had my stomach turning half the time while anger bubbled elsewhere. I couldn’t touch. I couldn’t interact. Yet, Hazel was the one wandering the apothecary like a ghost. Sticking to the shadows of her home and going through the motions with a distant look on her face. I couldn’t stand it. Given who she was before, the way she...

I found him like I always did these days. Like all the times before, he was on patrol. Wandering the markets with a vigilant gaze. Except, now the walls were different. Something in my body was out of control and the streets kept shifting as if they were old bones, stretching with aching pops and groans. Tonight, Gabriel was making sure to light the waxy candles that were stuck to the walls. T...
2023-07-07 21:03:28 +0000 UTC View PostI know you probably can’t get into too much detail for certain reasons but has the Market ever opened a gate to a pre-existing world? For example, Westeros? Middle-earth? Gotham?
If it exists, the Night Market has access. One of the reasons I came up with the concept of the Night Market is because it allowed for crossovers in our Pathfinder and RPG campaigns. When our group got waky and wanted to kind of experience something new or we wanted to do a mash-up of some of...
