I could hardly believe it. I had thought those walls would last forever. They stood so high above the estuary, and as a girl I remember standing there, looking out as the fishermen plied their trade, before pulling up and the quay to unload their catch. The smell made my mother's stomach turn, but I loved seeing the various fishes and their bright colours. A...
Trigger warning: No sexual violence, but rather graphic martial/arsonous death and some glamorized prostitution. ***** Aud eluded me in the dark water - my trickster-hearted Kuma Lisa - while I retreated blindly to her cave. A Selkie! Nothing had given me such good chase in decades, and certainly none had escaped. I'd brought down hundreds of Vampires, Ber...
Tethys -- Growing the Tribe Part 1 This story is a continuation of the earlier story, "Gesso, also concerning Tethys and her friends. I've tried to make it as stand-alone as possible, but it would probably read better if the first one was also read. The work is fiction, but as a powerful, wise and quite dead Wizard is reported to have said, "...but...
Hi everyone! If you're just here for the sex, this is a 35K word story and the sex doesn't happen for...quite a while.

The fluorescent lights in the library provided scant illumination in the waning hours of the Oklahoma day. In fact, although it was only 6 pm in November, Fumiko could barely see the print on the fluid dynamics textbook in front of her. For all it was worth, the book was like a useless stone slab. She had been using her cell phone to provide some manual ligh...

I spent several summers with my grandparents in Montana and I used to hear conversations about my aunt who lived in the area. This story is based upon those conversations. She had been known to have women visitors overnight. That was the rumor. But she was also seen to bring home the occasional man. They were never people from her own community or people he...
Keisha and I spent the next day hanging out with Lani and Dee. We hopped in the rental car and the two native Hawaiians led us to all of the most beautiful sights, including those well off the beaten path. Dee even took us to a little known cave right by the waterfront where we had lunch of leftovers from yesterday's luau. The cave itself was amazing. Light...
We woke refreshed and loving. Sleeping next to Ana made me feel safe and warm, and with her I slept so well that I found it hard to believe that for most of my life sleep had been elusive. When I told her she smiled and teased me: "Ah, my Rahab, have I so tired you out that finally you sleep?" I giggled and kissed her. "You complete me," I told her, smili...
Should I write a second chapter? Let me know in the comments below. Cheers * "Stop it." Hanna rattled the chains that bound her to the earthen floor, her knees scratched and bruised from the hours she'd spent on them. She looked longingly at the large windows, knowing full well that given half the chance, she'd throw herself out of it, come what may. T...
