Roy adores your relationship with Lian.

He can’t help the smile that grows in his face every time he sees the two of you together.

The first time he hear Lian call you “mom” he thought his heard was going to explode.

He always felt so bad that Lian would have to grow up without a mother figure- but once you got to meet Lian, he knew she wouldn’t have to grow up like that anymore.

Ironically, of my three cotl au Lambs, Tidally Locked Au Lamb is the worst at swimming lmao.

…..anyway I’m thinking of very VERY late au Sirender (who at this point has established he is not going to eat them) helping them learn how to swim, reassuring them that he won’t let them drown, letting them hang onto him and get a feel for the water. The trust they put into him to not hurt them, as compared to at the beginning when they wouldn’t even go near the water’s edge. He ends up turning from their biggest fear in the water to their biggest comfort/support.

It's come to my attention that the last time I pinned up all these new chapters, it apparently got lost in the slog of other updates when I first opened my Substack. So many folks are shocked that Penclosa has new chapters, hiatus'd though it is at present. So!

All Chapters of Penclosa (So Far)

Chapter 1 - Chapter 2 - Chapter 3 - Chapter 4 - Chapter 5 - Chapter 6

“The Parasite” by Arthur Conan Doyle for background.

And for new readers who don't know what this is all about:

It’s been almost a year since Jonathan Harker made that fateful first trip to Transylvania. The monster that imprisoned him, that threatened his love, that died in a box of earth by two blades, has been gone for months. Yet Jonathan’s nightmares have never left. In fact, as the bleak anniversary nears, they have worsened. Van Helsing’s mesmerism has made no progress in freeing him from the nightly horror. But he has come from Amsterdam for a potentially fruitful visit to another professor. 

Prof. Wilson is playing host to a mesmerist of singular and uncanny power, Miss Helen Penclosa. On meeting the troubled young man and his wife, she is only too happy to help…

So opens Penclosa, a story sadly locked in stasis for the indefinite time being. The work is a crossover between Bram Stoker’s novel, Dracula and Arthur Conan Doyle’s short story, “The Parasite.” The one features the infamous vampire and the heroes who clash with him, the other stars a professor who gets himself entangled in the amorous-to-villainous intentions of a hypnotist who’s implied to have more than the usual power behind her mesmeric ability. While I was reading both of these stories around the same time, an idea occurred:

Wow. This hypno-lady would be such a huge problem for Jonathan Harker specifically.

Which led to the next thought:

I should make her a huge problem for Jonathan Harker specifically.

And then I did!

(Sorry there’s no grander scheme behind it than that, I just like playing dolls with scary classic lit characters. And terrorizing my favorite gothic horror solicitor in particular. Sorry, Mr. Harker.)

That said, I make no promises as to an if or when of continuing Penclosa beyond the point it was paused at. I have an inkling of other ways to play with the story in a further-down-the-line plot where she meets the Harkers under different circumstances, but I’m also really attached to the bones I’ve already laid down here. So it’s a bit up in the air for now. Let me know what you guys think, I’d love to know what the interest level is.

In the meantime, don’t make direct eye contact with any mesmerists and/or undead horrors.

Storm/Weather abilities in Fantasy RPGs

As a Storm fan who’s been on a big kick of her reading material lately. I’ve gotten a much better understanding of all that she’s capable of and after playing the weather/storm related spellcaster/mages in BG3 (better in terms of storm theme) and DAV I was left slightly underwhelmed. While I completely understand that games have limitations and you don’t want the player to steamroll the game, I wish there were more wind and water spells/abilities when playing these roles. They’re just as versatile as fire and ice but severely underutilized in fantasy as a whole including TTRPG’s. Yes mods and flavoring exist but I wish that developers would think a little more outside the box than just lightning and thunder when it comes to theming a storm-related and elemental play styles in RPGs particularly in the fantasy realm. I also think fire, ice, and lightning shouldn’t be the be the be-all, end-all of magic-elemental abilities in fantasy games as a whole.

can talk for an hour on your stories eh? may i hear

in terms of Non-Fanfic works, I am working on a story called Sally's Place for Misplaced Monsters and an as-yet untitled retelling of Little Red Riding Hood.

Sally's Place is about an eminently practical girl named Sally Anne Roberts. She has no imagination and doesn't intend to ever have one, much to the despairing of her parents.

Until one day she gets assigned a monster-under-the-bed.

She's a four-armed reptillian girl named Greenie and this is her first assignment.

One thing you should know about Sally is that everything she says, she says with absolute confidence. So when she firmly declares to Greenie that monsters under the bed don't exist, she believes Sally and begins to despair that she's doing everything wrong.

Sally lets Greenie live in her coat pocket, her reasoning being that while monsters under beds and in closets are just stories parents tell their children to get them to behave, she hasn't heard of any stories where monsters live in coat pockets.

Sally tells her parents about Greenie, and they celebrate that their little girl has finally developed an imagination.

The next evening, a fierce storm knocks open Sally's bedroom window, and a boy with wings and feathers crashes through. His name is Henry. He escaped a human experimentation facility with his friend Peter Andy but they lost each other in the storm.

Peter Andy is sort of a Wolf, so they put one of Henry's feathers on Sally's windowsill in the hopes that Peter can follow the scent.

Sally tells her parents about Henry, and they celebrate her learning how to play Make Believe.

My plan is for it to be a series of short and fun little anecdotes where monsters and various magical and mythical creatures come through Sally's bedroom window with various problems and Sally, Greenie, and their friends do what they can to help them, with a higher-stakes subplot going on in the background involving taking down the Human Experimentation Facility.

My main concern with this story is that the main characters don't really... grow. Or change. Maybe it will be different once I actually start writing more of the thing. Hopefully.

My untitled Little Red Riding Hood story, meanwhile, may be problematic because the protagonist is the Wolf.

His name is Peter Andy Wolf and he is the Big Bad Wolf's son.

Red's grandmother was chased out of town because she took the fall for her daughter-in-law's Witchcraft. Apparently, the Viscount's firstborn got turned into a wolf.

(The women in town all breathed a sigh of relief when he fled into the woods. He was a notorious skirt-chaser, and he didn't take no for an answer.)

(The baby was unintended collateral damage. A mistake in the spellwork that would go unnoticed for the better part of a decade.)

It goes as it always does: Red goes into the woods to bring her grandmother gifts and pastries supplies. Peter's original plan was to lure her off the path and eat her.

But in order to lure her away, he needs to talk to her, and the more he talks to her, the less he wants to go through with it.

After a week of this, Peter asks if he can have a piece of the bread she's carrying.

After another week, proudly gave Red the branch of a plant that is useful for dyes and medicines, but difficult to grow.

"F'r y'r Gr'n'oth'r" he said through the wood between his teeth.

During a town festival, she sees him watching the festivities from the edge of the woods. He asks her about dancing.

he's never even stood on two legs before, but he'd like to try it.

It's shaky. Unbalanced. But having someone hold his hands and dancing with him helps.

Eventually, Peter's Father finds out. That day, Red meets a different wolf on the way to her Grandmother's house.

Peter runs into town to ask for help and the Woodcutter (who's served as a minor antagonist up till now) gives him one of her axes (because he runs faster than her). He doesn't know what he can do with an axe when he doesn't have thumbs, but he takes it in his mouth anyway and runs. She follows him as fast as she can.

Peter andy wolf does not notice that he's human until he's standing surefooted, with a bloody axe in his hands, over his father's disemboweled corpse.

The one good thing Peter's father did for him: He made a good fur cloak for walking with Red to her Grandmother's house.

[samisnotlegend]

“Fuck!” Katsuki cursed. Izuku was right; they’d lost track of time.

Katsuki squeezed his legs together and braced his hand against his eyes. He could feel the ghost of Izuku’s hands all over his body, but the sensation was rapidly fading as reality set in. He’d been so close! Izuku had been, too, Katsuki was certain, and he cursed the missed opportunity.

God, what he wouldn’t give to be able to have his boyfriend under him again. Even just for a few more minutes.

This is a direct and very smutty/switchy sequel to Tidal Hearts! It takes place between chapters 20 and 21. I hope you like it~

hi! could i request 👁 and 💤 for Roy and Wally? thank you! (^·^)

of course! I'm so glad people are asking for less popular characters.

(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶) .ᐟ.ᐟ

roy first, then wally

Roy has freckles, not very noticeable or anything like Wally's. They're just tiny, mostly scattered across his face.

He has tiny little scars on his fingers. He earned them from multiple mishaps while handling a bow when he was younger.

His eyes are blue, but the inner ring is a blue-green color that always has you in awe.

Roy runs warm, so he can keep you warm during winter nights.

He has the fluffiest blankets that he hogs...you might have to fight for them lmao.

Has huge arms that he absolutely will crush you with during the night. But they're also good for holding you.

Likes his space while sleeping but will keep a hand on you in some way, whether that be holding your hand or draping an arm across you.

He sleeps in until like 10. Don't expect him to get up early.

Wally"s turn!!

Freckles. absolutely everywhere! They're so many and they're so pretty. He loves it when you kiss each freckle, peppering his skin with kisses. He will do the same to you, if you have freckles.

He has a tiny scar above his right eyebrow, its barely noticeable but still cute.

When sleeping together, Wally will be clinging onto you for dear life.

He loves to sleep on top of you?? He claims you're the best pillow.

He really enjoys holding you but moves around a lot so by the time he wakes, you're not close.

Sometimes he'll wake up in the middle of the night, if you aren't awake then he'll poke you, he wants to talk to you until one of you falls asleep.

sorry Wally's is so short, my brain could NOT think of anything cute to add.
