Eligos the Demon

You knew the price was too good to be true when you got the apartment, but beggars can’t be choosers and you knew you would never find such a nice place in your price range like this again. You moved in quickly, your few belongings still made the new space seem empty but you were happy with it all.Th...

CYOA Chapter 11: Luke

Driving back home was surreal. I hadn’t been in Hearthway Hollow for years, and not for an extended amount of time. Ever since I met you, I thought life was going to turn out pretty good for me. But I know I have a way of making messes, so it was only a matter of time before this happened anyways.

I wanted to protect you from all of this, from all the things you didn’t know about your...

The Underwater Gargoyle

Off the coast of your hometown there once stood a beautiful castle, or at least that is what people told you. The small island it stood on sank, bringing it down into the sea. Your father would tell stories to you about the castle when you went fishing. He said the castle was guarded by many strong gar...

Update: The CYOA Continues!

After a much longer than expected hiatus (so sorry about that) I will be returning to writing the CYOA tomorrow! You can see all CYOA posts here if you're unaware of this. And based on the last post it looks like I will be doing a chapter from Luke's POV to start off the new batch of CYOA chapte...

Huntress in the Castle: Chapter Four (special preview)

One morning I woke and there was a desk by the window of my room, and on it some parchment and a quill and ink. And outside my window a carrier pigeon! It had been a month already.

I tried to think on what I should write to my family. The longer I thought, the harder it became for my to write. It was almost painful. I had been away from them for a month, and yet it didn’t seem like it. ...

Callum the Orc (rough draft)

Rather than going to the high school reunion, you and your old high school friends decided to do something else. Some of you had kept in touch, and as the reunion talk heated up, you managed to get in contact with the others. The group  of you decided to go in together to rent a cabin and spend a long weekend together catching up and going over old memories.

You lived closest to the ...

Reza the Manticore (complete)

Female Reader x Male Monster (both cis)

The old house you stood outside of looked as though it had seen better days. The iron fence was overgrown with weeds and vines, and beyond it the yard was littered like a junkyard. The only reason you came here was because you were fed up, but if you had pa...

Cherrywood Manor: Part Eight (rough draft)

The sunrise from the view of the cabin was perfect. Paired with their favorite cup of coffee, Eden was quite happy. They had arrived with Lydia the previous evening, having arrived late due to a rock slide on the suggested route.

But now, everything was peace and tranquil. Lydia was still in bed, sleeping peacefully, and the morning could not be more perfect. Work had been cluttered and c...

Cherrywood Manor: Part Seven (rough draft)

The attic at Cherrywood Manor had been one of those long ignored places. Lydia had maybe seen it once during her entire time there, but she couldn’t fully recall. The stairway up to it had been blocked off for so long, it was easier to forget it existed than ever worry about it. The only reason Lydia remembered it was because of a leak that had started in the corner of her bedroom.

Knute the Werewolf (rough draft)

Anja Belland was the eldest child of Tor Belland, a wealthy rancher and trader that my family often did business with. Anja was born with high expectations upon her shoulders as the eldest child. She was expected to marry well, she was expected to have a good head upon her shoulders, and she was expected to continue the Belland bloodline.

I remember the first time I saw Anja as a little b...

It is so maddeningly quiet.

I am used to five older brothers, I am not used to this. I am not used to being so alone. I am so used to cleaning, or cooking, or playing with Finn and Craig, or talking to Niall. I am used to activity and voices and laughter. I have only been here for one day, what am I supposed to do?

Hau the Merman: Part Two (rough draft)

I repaired the front door as best I could, but while the storm raged I didn’t have the proper supplies to fix it completely. Rain still came through and puddled on the floor, and the house maintained a bone penetrating chill the entire time. Fixing the window Hau broke was another matter as well, I had no clue when I’d be able to order glass for it, or if my letters would even reach mainlan...

Question: Character Bios

I’m trying to get together bios for characters. I’m using notebook.ai for the time being. But I’m curious which bios and universes you want to see compiled first. I’m also attempting to do most characters personality types, so if that interests you, let me know. And tell me which universes you’d want to see compiled guides for.

Hau the Merman: Part One (rough draft)

The strange cries came from the shore after a horrible storm. I had thought it might just be the gulls celebrating a wonderful feast, but the more I listened, the stranger the sounds became. Despite the persistent rain, I traversed down the rocky path towards the strange sounds.

It was as cold as hell and my whole body seemed prepared to be dashed upon the rocks with as choppy as the sea ...
