#wolfmaw story

[monstersandmaw]

Werewolves who think they're lap dogs despite looking like what would happen if the canine family tried to evolve a shire horse

My hand slipped and this happened, since it so perfectly fits the character.

Here's Teo and his boyfriend from the Wolfmaw story (spoiler free). I loved your shire horse comment!! Made me giggle.

___

“No.”

The enormous, honey coloured wolf sitting on the floor between the sofa and the television looked up at him with huge, dark chocolate eyes, and cocked his head, ears pricked.

“Ohhh no. Do not… Do not. Do. That.” His resolve crumbled even as he kept looking down at him. “Please…”

Teo’s tail thumped once.

“No.”

That ‘no’ sounded suspiciously like a ‘yes but don’t make me say it’, and Teo knew it.

His jaws parted and his tongue lolled out in a happy smile, and in a swift, victorious motion, he reared up and plopped his paws down on the slender thighs of his patient and extraordinarily lenient boyfriend.

Without waiting to be swatted away by an elegant hand, Teo sprang up onto the couch and nuzzled furiously against his hip, wagging and shuffling to find the perfect spot.

“You’re shedding. Everywhere,” came that sultry voice that was aiming for unimpressed, but it carried secret volumes of fondness that only Teo knew was there. Vampires, after all, were not supposed to be seen with werewolves, let alone dating them.

Teo sneezed and wiggled around onto his back, his paws in the air and his belly completely exposed. God, if anyone in the pack saw him now, they’d have kicked him out probably. No, Luca would never let that happen, but still.

Grudgingly, a pale hand extended down to him and scratched along the line of his ribs and up his chest, catching him just-so. His right hind leg beat a rapid tattoo against the sofa arm and he tipped his head right back to expose his chin and neck too, groaning with ecstasy at the barrage of delicious sensations.

“Dear God, remind me why I adore you?” the vampire purred.

Teo sneezed again and opened one whisky-gold eye to regard the porcelain face regarding him with one pale eyebrow raised. Laughing his silent, wolfish laugh, Teo twisted to lap his tongue against the fingers of the hand that had been scratching behind his ear, and he heard a gentle, fond sigh. “You’re a menace, Teo.”

Teo nipped him for that, but only gently.

Leaning forwards, the vampire left a kiss on the tip of his nose. “I really do, you know?” he said, sounding wistful. “Adore you.”

Teo wiggled deeper into his lap and turned onto his side so he could cuddle him too. Vampires might be cold, but this one was far from heartless.

Teo had his back to the door, and had just exposed his belly to a creature that was probably twice as deadly as he was, and he couldn’t have been happier or felt safer.

“You’re still an overgrown menace of a lapdog.”

Teo just wagged his tail and got even comfier with his head across his thighs.

Wolfmaw is a WIP at the moment and you can find out more about it here.

Blue Archive bad actually because I spent a literal half year on the JP server trying to pull for one specific character (Sorasaki Hina, AKA hyper-capable girlboss who's actually internally screaming 24/7 and just really wants a nap) and had enough eliph saved up to 5* her the *second* I finally got her. And the EN server is looking like it wants to do the same thing. It's as if the game hates me, specifically, on a personal level. gatcha/10, would pull again.

wolfmaw asked:

On a more serious note, I'm glad you've been enjoying it 'cause the zany bullshit that happens basically every other episode is well worth reading if you're looking for a good laugh, and the story and lore are actually surprisingly good for a game that doesn't take itself so seriously.

Oh yeah I have Hina as well! She's a riot, Hina my friend Hina, overworked to hell and extremely good at what she does but I just want to play Mario Kart 64 with her, give her a day off :(

Apparently I lied when I said that that poll about POV preferences would be the last one I'd do for Wolfmaw. Sorry?

Since I've had a few people ask how they can support me in different ways (financial this time! thank you!) I'm thinking about reviving my Ko-fi page a bit more, since I'm not up to reopening my Patreon again. So, would you like the following on Ko-fi, and would you pay £3 to see some extra content? I believe that if you've supported me once in the last 30 days, you can view anything I put up there for 'supporters only'.

Stuff I'd intend to share:

Character Profiles (mostly spoiler free) for the main cast

Bonus content like snippets that didn't maybe make the final cut but things that are still cute/related to the story

Early access to chapters before they go up on Tumblr (long way down the line yet)

Related content like moodboards, sketches, ideas etc.

Just to clarify, the final story will go up on Tumblr for free anyway - I'm not blocking it behind a paywall. This is just for extra stuff and early access.

No idea what I'm talking about? Find out more about my new alpha male werewolf x female human romance novel idea here.

Feedback about the story itself has been kind of huge, so I'm hoping I'm not completely misreading the enthusiasm for this project!

[monstersandmaw]

Final poll about Wolfmaw I promise... It's not gonna be a reader insert, but I'm wondering about what voice, and how many voices, it should have. So...

[monstersandmaw]

Anyone interested in some moodboards and character blurbs for the new werewolves in Wolfmaw that I teased yesterday?

[monstersandmaw]

I just read your sneak peek of Wolfmaw, and I LOVED it. I'm so excited for more, whenever it's posted 💞

Thank you! I'm working on Wolfmaw stuff slowly in the background, along with a number of other writing projects, some of which may end up on here and others are just for me, so we'll see.

I'm so happy you enjoyed the sneak preview though, and I hope to have more for you folks soon, both for free on here and also over on Ko-fi as a bit of an exclusive treat.

[monstersandmaw]

Working on all things Wolfmaw today: backstory, character bios, and plot-planning. It has taken over my entire existence.

[monstersandmaw]

omg the blurb for the story sounds so good, I truly hope you'll write and post it!!! it sounds like a delightful read. would 100% read it if it were a book

:3 thank you so much!! I'm actually working on chapter one right now... :)

[monstersandmaw]

Wolfmaw sound absolutely amazing, something I'd love to read!!💛

Don't mind me, just derpily wibbling and flailing around the room after reading this. Thank you :) I'll see what I can do for you.

[monstersandmaw]

PLEASE GHOSTI, cliché and trophey are my happy place 💕💕💕

I just this nanosecond reblogged the original idea post with a bit more info for you. If you're still interested after seeing that, I might see what I can do about it :3

[monstersandmaw]

@severedreamerbeard​ you horrid, wicked little enabler-gremlin, you.

Fine. Look what you made me do. *writes a cheesy ‘romance novel’ style blurb and does a fancy little moodboard just for you*. Because you asked nicely and you’re so lovely all the time.

Working title: Wolfmaw

*CW for brief mention below of past abusive relationship, an attack at night, and mention of blood*

When Faye Carter decides to rebuild her life, after finally finding the courage to get out of an abusive relationship, she signs up to self-defence classes at Wolfmaw Gym and starts to claw back some self-confidence. Pun intended.

Six months later, she’s a little bit fitter, and whole lot happier in herself than she’s been in years. She’s even made a few friends.

When she sees her trainer talking one evening to the most beautiful man she’s ever seen, a little of that new-found confidence crumbles away, especially when he looks over at her and glares like he wants to paint the walls of the gym with her blood and entrails. It’s shocking that someone as easy-going and friendly as Teo would know someone as patently terrifying as the man in that sharp, black suit, let alone talk to him so familiarly, but it’s even more surprising that he comes to Teo’s Halloween fundraiser that very weekend. He does deign to speak to Faye for a few minutes, though he leaves looking like he feels the need to bathe in disinfectant, but that’s not the most disturbing thing that happens to her that night.

She witnesses a stranger tear out the throat of one of the party-goers with his teeth in a side alley, and then he discards the corpse and comes at her with red eyes blazing and blood pouring down his chin.

Turns out vampires are real, and she just accidentally (?) staked one to death in an alley with a bit of wooden pallet. She has learned something from six months of self-defence classes after all.

The guy with the snappy suit, Luca, is actually some kind of werewolf royalty, and he’s not happy with her — not only for finding out about their secret world (though really, how is that her fault?!), but also for potentially breaking the fragile truce with the local vampire coven and risking a messy turf war. Oh, and neither her new best friend nor her trainer are human either. The clue should have been in the name, but actually almost no one at Wolfmaw Gym is human.

Except Faye.

The supernatural is real, and she’s stumbled right into the deep end…

Aka: Luca is an aloof asshole with a secret heart of gold and more money than God, Teo is the Most Golden Retriever of all werewolves and may or may not be in a secret, forbidden relationship with a vampire; Faye’s accidentally become besties with said vampire’s exiled sister, and she’s really just trying to perfect her left hook while avoiding kicking off an interspecies war…

Aka: a pretty tropey ‘supernatural billionaire boyfriend’ romance ft. an m/f main pairing, with an lgbtq+ cast, and a bunch more cliches thrown in too.

Should I write it in full? I’ve started a bit already... lemme know via the usual channels, folks (I’m not accepting messenger birds at this time, but asks, comments, reblogs and likes are always welcome).

unnnggggff the urge to write another modern werewolf romance story has risen in me despite having many other projects on the go. ffffffffffffffffffffffuck why do i do this to myself...

[monstersandmaw]

I'm stuck. Help your local ghost decide what to work on next!
