They don't even talk first. Flint just walks up behind her and grabs Sophie around the waist, pulling her back against his body. She jumps a little in surprise, but doesn't fight him and doesn't pull away. She actually leans back against him, letting her weight rest on his substantially larger frame. Sophie's only a little taller than I am, and has an... um...
Four Days Ago Merisi pursed her lips, staring up at the big, silver-wrought gates. The fence stood proud and powerful, shimmering with anti-fey wards. The errand girl recognized them instantly from her bardic schooling, of course. She wasn't sure she much cared for them. Well, guess this is the place, she thought. She crouched, then whistled a single note....
After the long and dangerous trek through the Evergreen Forest, Brist had almost forgotten how good it felt to plunge his head beneath the surface of clean, non-drugged autumn meltwater and let his curly bleached-white hair be swept from his eyes by the ferocity of the flow. Unfortunately, he had completely forgotten how terrible it felt. He burst out of t...
The jungle outside the smoking remains of the crashed spaceship teemed with life. Charred metal was strewn through the exotic undergrowth. The automatic fire suppressant system slowly oozed to a stop, those robotic arms which had survived Galileo 12's impacted into the uncharted planet discharged the last of the CO-laced foam and retreated into protected pod...
"Isn't that place Monsters Only?" Jean asked. The two women with him had different reactions. Maggie squeezed his hand. She was sitting in the aisle seat of the shuddering old transit bus next to him. Her soft features and comforting presence reminded him of the archetypal girl next door. That she turned into a slavering, bloodthirsty werewolf every full mo...
You wake in the middle of the forest. Last night was the first night of the full moon. You had two nights left before you could return to humanity and another month before the cycle would repeat itself. As usual, you found yourself naked, in a clearing, covered in blood. He didn’t like clothes. He liked to hunt during the night, and fill your belly with raw...
You stood in your corner in a pink bikini you freshly picked out with your pink gloves hanging onto the ropes. This had to be the most petty thing everyone could’ve done and it was just a dumb revenge ploy. Many high school students chug their beers and either laid out on the grass or sat back in their lawn chairs ready for your eventual demise. These idiots...

"You sure you're good to go?" Alrek narrowed his eyes at Larya, then narrowed them further as he turned to her companion. Lim giggled and did a little twirl. She was wearing a simple green skirt and a blouse that only covered her chest, leaving shoulders and midriff exposed, and her tail twitched from beneath the skirt in obvious excitement. "Don't worry, S...
Snatch was running. Unfortunately, he could not run very fast. The entire forest had gone black. Some sort of fey magic was at work here, and Snatch had no intention of staying around to find out what. He had to get out of the darkness. Had to get his bearings. "...ipper?" he heard Anna call. "Alrek?" "I'm here!" he shouted back. He felt branches scratch...
