Imaginary Boyfriend: Gentleman Jack (special preview)

When you were little, you had an imaginary friend. Nothing unusual, lots of kids had lots of imaginary friends. You created yours after seeing an image on a box of cigars at your grandfather’s. You were bored, and it was raining out. Your grandfather was asleep on the sofa, and you had run out of tapes to watch. So you decided to go on a treasure hunt.

Treasure hunts were the norm for y...

Werewolf Boyfriend: Finn (complete)


I came to Hearthway Hollow not long after my father passed away. An old friend of his offered me a place to stay, and promised the town would be a quiet and safe place for me. I’m not so sure about that, because anywhere there are werewolves there is certain to be some level of danger.&nbs...

Werewolf Boyfriend: August (special preview)

Every year, when the holidays come around, you get to paint the windows at work. Halloween is always such a big holiday in Hearthway Hollow, it encompasses the entire month of October. Right around the end of September, it begins. And not in the slow growing, hard to notice sort of way that it does elsewhere. It’s sudden and hard to miss. 

The stores in the downtown area all compet...

Lizardfolk Boyfriend: Thruun 2 (rough draft)

I decided to make blackberry preserves in a hurry, hoping I could get them done in time to send Thruun off with one. Maybe I was being a bit delusional with this, Thruun could just see me as a friend, he could just be using me for the peace and quiet I offer. 

Still, I can’t help but remember that day picking blackberries. He seemed eager to be with me, even flirty. He said my dark...

The Tale of the Rikity Tig (complete)

The bonfire is burning white-hot, and I could feel it searing the fuzz off my cheeks. It was much better than the winds that came off the sea, which I know all too well can wear a person raw. After so many months at sea, I’ve almost forgotten what solid ground felt like. Having grown used to constant...

Lizardfolk Boyfriend: Thruun (rough draft)

The inn isn’t usually what I like to do, but the owner is a dear family friend and I do enjoy helping her out whenever possible. The work is something tough, but I try to tell myself that there are silver linings to everything. Sure, the work is hard, but often times the tips are good. The people are strange and sometimes mean, but there are for more interesting and kind people than those.&nb...

Symbiote Girlfriend: Ghost 2 (complete)

It’s been months since I last felt her, but just when I was getting comfortable, that’s when she reappears. I don’t want to leave, but Ghost and I hold our duty first and foremost. Beast is our responsibility, and we can’t allow anyone else to get hurt because of her vendetta.

Ghost Story: When We Leave the Diner 2 (rough draft)


It’s hard to imagine why they would leave this place in ruins, curse or fear of bad luck doesn’t seem like the logical thing to do. Whether it was money, politics, or something else that caused this town to abandon itself and uproot to further away, I’m sure the fire was just the final straw.

The stillness is what gets to me the most. I can stand most stillness, in the wo...

Symbiote Boyfriend: Sonata 2 (complete)

Arsinoe lays out the whole story for me - her sister, the explosion, meeting Ghost, and everything that has led us up to this point. To be honest, I’m overwhelmed. Just a few short hours ago, I had been trying to shop using a gift card. Now, I’m at the center of an action movie plot. Apparently thi...

Ghost Story: When We Leave the Diner (rough draft)

My mother never knew she was adopted until she got sick. Her parents never told her, and when she needed a donor, no one on her side of the family was able. After some digging, we found the records from her adoption. My mom decided not to push the issue, it was bad enough she was sick and living with less time. Her parents must have not told her for a reason, she argued, so she wasn’t going t...

Symbiote Girlfriend: Ghost (complete)

My big sister was always my hero, and from the moment we met nothing could keep us apart. Siti and I did everything together, and since our parents were away a lot, sometimes all we had was each other. When I was in high school, our parents’ plane crashed when they were returning home from a business...

My father was once a very popular local musician. He had a chance at the big time, but instead he decided to open a small restaurant with my mother. There was a small stage in the restaurant where bands could come play and maybe get their own start. I never understood why my dad gave up his chance at s...

Werewolf Boyfriend: Finn 4 (rough draft)

Things have been so hectic as of late that Finn and I haven’t even gotten married. We have a ring, although due to some swelling, I’ve not been able to wear it. Between building the addition to the house, nesting, and everything it takes to welcome a baby into the world, we just lost track of time.

Our daughter Merethe was born on a particularly humid day. I was absolutely soaked with...

Poppet Boyfriend: Vult Ludure 2 (complete)

Stubbed toes, smashed fingers, rammed elbows - all these and more have become a normal part of my life. Vult is new to his body, and much like a newborn fawn, his joints wobble and buckle as he grows used to them. Fortunately for him, he feels none of his falls, trips and tumbles; unfortunately for me,...

I’ve become a frequent customer of Lene’s lingerie shop. Ever since the success of the first bra, I have gone back several times for a few more bras, as well as their usual stock of items.

Werewolf Boyfriend: Finn 2 (rough draft)

Hunting isn’t something I grew up doing. I’ve never actually had to do it. I grew up in the city, the only thing to hunt there was pigeons and squirrels. It sort of scared me to think about going out into the woods to catch something to begin this courtship, but I was determined to do it. 

I tried too, I really did. I just couldn’t do it when the time came, and I crossed the pa...
