Cowritten by Alfie Quinn -- That night, Augustus slept like a dead man, his bed a tangle of sheets and limbs that belonged to at least ten individuals stuck out at odd angles. As the first rays of the rising sun slipped through a gap in the heavy curtains however, a gentle but firm hand reached into the mass of slick and sticky flesh and managed to find...
"So what can you tell me of my husband-to-be?" asked Natalya as her handmaidens fussed with her hair and make-up. "Is he as pathetic as the rest of these western pansies?" "He is very... beautiful," said Sonya, quickly adding "For a northerner" when Natalya shot her an angry glare. "Curse the gods! If only my father had insisted on finishing his bloody w...
Westminster, England, 14 April AD 1067. Six Months After The Battle of Hastings. "You get Droit de Seigneur with the estate, D'Austeyn. You are Lord of the High Justice and the Low, with Furca and Fossa. You can hang a man from gallows or drown a witch. Sort out any trouble immediately and kill anyone who puts a toe out of line.

Tina was doing her thing when I got back to the office. She had sent off email enquiries to all the relevant authorities and was now sitting at her desk perusing the land registry plan and comparing it with a large scale map she had brought up on the computer. "You know there's a house on this property, don't you?" "I wouldn't say a house; I thought it was...
Part Five - The Screaming Blood I was there. When the witch Morgayne's belly was torn open and a child dragged screaming from her, I was there. That day was eight moons off when Artur and Morgayne, sister and brother born to the same mother, descended the plank from their boat. Returned from De Grance, fealty done and good trade besides. "A good mission,...

A few more installments are in the works, so expect to read more from Mox and myself. Feel free to leave comments/feedback, I love hearing it :) - LM * You are out for the evening with some friends, but I expected you to come back sooner than you did. You try to slip in quietly and head to bed hoping not to wake me, not expecting me to be up, let alone wai...
Once there were two kingdoms, with two kings. The southern most was warm and fair, with long summers and ample harvest. But the northern one was cold and dark, with little light and fields that grew few crops even when they were not covered with snow. Two kings were brothers. They ruled the lands separated by a single river; one the bright, sunny land, where...
It seems every planet has its own legends of merfolk. Our own is one of the few that actually has them. I stepped off the shuttle into the tropical belt of Sigada. I would be heading into the mountains where I would seek to help rectify his horrible situation later. My first goals involved meeting with local lords and ladies as well as exploring the seas. I...
Oh my God! I am sick. And have a headache. And I need to pee. Badly. Worst hangover ever! I try to gather my wits, and get out of bed before I wet myself. As I stand up, the nausea gets worse, and so does the headache. I rush to the toilet, and pee.
