The villain laughs. “The Chosen One cannot spill blood on holy ground. I have won!” You draw your blade. “The Chosen One died the first day of our journey,” you say. “A Valet may spill blood where he pleases.”

Fairy: Hey I didn’t get your name.
Me: Yeah that was on purpose.
Fairy: Oh my god stealing people’s names has been categorized as a war crime for like a hundred years. Do I seem like the kind of fairy that would do war crimes?
Me: Well yes, but that’s just my impression of you personally. Not fairies in general.
Fairy: You’re smarter than I thought.
Me: So is the fairy monarch democratically elected?
Fairy: I think the one from a small corner of Alabama might be but for the most part, no. It’s still decided by a contest between the three oldest children.
Me: What kind of competition?
Fairy: Well it used to be to the death but that was too violent so these days each kingdom comes up with their own. In mine I think they play marbles but I’ve never seen one.
Me: Okay so why shouldn’t I say thank you or give gifts in return for favors?
Fairy: That’s mostly a regional thing but where I’m from it’s insulting to the wealth of the person giving you stuff. Like you really only thank people when what they did was like a huge burden so if you thank someone for giving you something that’s like calling them poor.
Me: Fairies have wealth inequality?
Fairy: I mean we technically still live under a feudal system if I’m being honest but with modern technology and ethics nobody notices.
Me: Do you have Internet down there?
Fairy: Only dial-up. That’s why I come to your house.
Fairy: So you’re telling me that human men don’t think that frog eyes are sexy?
Me: Well not most of them to my knowledge.
Fairy: So I bought these contacts for nothing.
Me: Hey man you don’t have to be a frog spirit to lure men into your clutches. Plenty of dudes are into cat eyes and ghoulish moaning.
Fairy: You really think so?
Me: I know so! Stop doubting yourself so much. You can definitely find some mortal men to lure into the timeless void for several centuries and adopt a demon cat with you.
Fairy: Thanks, man. That means a lot.
Fairy: So humans... don’t eat glass?
Me: No? It’ll cut up our insides and kill us.
Fairy: Ooohhhh. Oh no.
Me: What did you do now?
Fairy: More like... what I’ve done over the past three centuries since I moved out of my mom’s house.
Me: Did the coughing up of blood not cue you into anything?!?!!
Fairy: I thought that humans just spontaneously die sometimes!
Me: No we don’t! There’s physical reasons for these things!
Fairy: So... no more bringing nightshade and glass entrees to the potluck?
Me: No!
Me: So why mushrooms as portals?
Fairies: Look man, even we don’t mess with mushrooms alright? Sometimes they open up a portal to the human world and it’s just best to not question it.
Me: So wait. You don’t make the fairy circles?
Fairy: No. Mushrooms decide.

False Pretenses
Part 1: The Spark
At the peak of the war between angels and demons, a demon general finds out a newly captured angel is his soulmate - or is he?
Stuck in enemy territory, an angel needs to escape before his nemesis finds out his true identity - or worse, before the lie he’s weaving between them comes to light.

Came back wrong? How about came back right, except that the world you came back to is wrong. Came back just like waking up from a long nap only to find that the people who love you broke themselves into shards and bloody bargains to get you back.
There are new stains that nobody will explain, hidden beneath the rug in the upstairs hallway. Your mother's left eye is clouded and strange. The cat no longer goes near your brother. There's a sharp-edged shadow now, under your lover's smile.
Everybody says you must be remembering wrong, but your sense of smell is just as good as ever. The closet that used to smell like cedar and cinnamon smells like sulfur, now, and nobody will tell you why.

The King's Favorite
The Knight just wants to give his report, but today his King has other plans.
A prequel scene featuring the Knight and the King from Vows.
For a while the Knight's reports have gone directly to the King. Sometimes in person. There is a specific sitting room that seems dedicated to that, or at least so the servants murmur when they think the Knight will not hear them.
He knows they love to gossip, and tolerates that behavior as long as they're not disrespectful towards his King. A single out-of-line word is always met with harsh reprimand.
Nothing scandalous ever happens in that room, in any case: the King always sits on one of the couches, and the Knight can enjoy the soft armchairs.
Until one day, the King pats the cushion next to him. "Sit here, my Knight."

Vows
A knight finds out his king has been replaced by a demon - or was he a monster all along?
This was inspired by @raineandsky's prompt.
It's a fraction of a second. The knight turns the corner in the King's chambers and sees it: something strange in the King's eyes, an elongated fleshy shape disappearing under the hem of his shirt. Immediately all his instincts are screaming in alarm.
Anyone else would dismiss it as paranoia, as a trick of the mind. But the knight has seen too many demons, faced too many, to be so naive.

Deadly Haven (Epilogue)
An injured, hunted hero hides in his former lover's safehouse to catch a breath. Unfortunately, his presence is soon noticed by said ex-lover.
"I did love you." Soft. Pained. "I'm sorry I deceived you."
Villain blinks, whatever they were going to say forgotten on their lips. "You never mentioned that." Their confused expression is quickly taken over by a frown. "I don't understand."
Hero sighs. "What don't you understand?" He's so tired. Villain isn't usually this chatty before torture. They get like that in the middle of it, normally.

Deadly Haven (part 4)
An injured, hunted hero hides in his former lover's safehouse to catch a breath. Unfortunately, his presence is soon noticed by said ex-lover.
"What are you doing?" A quiet question, helpless.
Hero shouldn't show vulnerability, he knows. But he needs Villain to get to the torture. He can't take much more of this.
Instead, Villain just keeps caressing him. "Give it a few days, and the world will stop looking for you," they say instead of answering properly. "I'll make sure they'll think you dead."
"But I won't be." A tense statement. Not a question. A few days is nothing. He's seen Villain torture people for months.
No longer than that. They always break.

Deadly Haven (part 3)
An injured, hunted hero hides in his former lover’s safehouse to catch a breath. Unfortunately, his presence is soon noticed by said ex-lover.
Hero gets pinned against Villain's chest, arms trapped between their bodies.
He bares his teeth at them, panic morphing into anger born of desperation. "No." He's still trying to struggle. There's not much else for him to do, he refuses to just accept this. "I won't let you break me." His voice is firm, but his gaze is almost pleading.

Deadly Haven pt.2
An injured, hunted hero hides in his former lover's safehouse to catch a breath. Unfortunately, his presence is soon noticed by said ex-lover.
TW: attempted self-harm
Villain walks to him, confident. There are no weapons in their hands, they are not even in tactical gear - just their more casual outfit.
Hero keeps backing away, moving trajectory before he can bump into a wall. He needs to keep some distance between them. If he ends up having to do what he fears he'll have to, he'll need Villain to be far enough away to not be able to stop him.

Deadly Haven
An injured, hunted hero hides in his former lover's safehouse to catch a breath. Unfortunately, his presence is soon noticed by said ex-lover.
The safehouse has been abandoned for months, maybe even longer - just as Hero hoped.
He remembers Villain bringing him here once, after a rough betrayal that left Hero poisoned with no one to rely on except for his then-friend. Here they first kissed. Here Villain decided Hero would belong to them.
But all of that was a lifetime ago. Before Hero betrayed his lover. Before he left leaving just a note and no goodbyes.
Now that he finds himself in a very similar situation, betrayed and with no allies, it's ironic that it would be Villain helping him - even indirectly so, by unknowingly giving him a place to rest for a moment.

Anonymous asked:
Yes I'd love to see a blurb!!! Also, you said worked past tense. Does that mean it is finished????? Like trying to find someone to publish it or something? Or are you just taking a break from it?
It is finished actually! Edited, too, and we are currently dipping our toes in the brutal world of query letters.
Blurb under the cut.

The Sidekick's Villain: Dinner (pt.2)
Sidekick's cheeks actually colour at the text. It's hard to maintain a straight face.
Villain is trying to seduce him. Not what he expected out of the mission.
His hand is not perfectly steady as he taps out a reply: Alone with a villain? I might not come out of that restroom again.
He wants to go. He wants Villain to have his way with him. He wants to take him away from everyone else in the room.
It's strange to wear a dress and not have Villain's arm around his waist for half the time.
Is your life more important than the life of everyone in this place?
Sidekick can see a smirk on Villain's face, smug and a little mocking, as if he already knew the answer Sidekick is supposed to give but also knew what the right answer is.
You are threatening the civilians in the restaurant? That is underhanded, Villain.
Sidekick is already making excuses to everyone, smiling as he says he needs the restroom.
Don’t forget your colleagues. Villain is getting up too, moving away. All the city’s heroes taken out in one night. Beautiful.
Sidekick can't help but smile a little wider at that. No one notices.
He waits until Villain has disappeared inside the door before moving there too.
His heart is beating faster. He can hear the jingling of his own earrings louder than normal. All of them are Villain's gifts, years of presents.
The dress is new. He hopes Villain wants to show his appreciation for it.
He opens the door.
