Autax chuckled and shook its head as it snapped four of its fingers. There was a small glimmer of light on the left hand wall, and a door appeared, through which another creature appeared. This one was almost impossible to discern, as its form seemed to not only shift ceaselessly, but also to embody multiple …

Storytime: Offer (Blur #4)
CW: creepy looking creatures, talk of violence (nothing shown), swearing Dylan slept in the uncomfortable metal bed. The mattress was thin; the joints creaked and screeched at every move; the single threadbare blanket felt like sandpaper on her skin; but she slept. She had no choice. None of them did. Sleep was forced upon them …

Storytime: First Patrol (Blur #2)
Months after her first meeting with Janice, Dylan found herself pacing the floor of the tactical centre, nerves fluttering in her stomach. Her first time out as part of the group. There had been weeks where anyone and everyone tried to find ways to not just control, but also extend, her abilities. Both had eventually …

Storytime: Blur
Blur CW: eye stuff, swearing, some ableist words for mental illness (not used as insults), PTSD symptoms “Yep, she’s lucky we managed to fix her back up into one piece! Now don’t worry, she’s got a bit of a journey ahead, but she’ll come through just fine.” Dylan cracked open her eyes as the words …

Storytime: A Surprising Contract
CW: vomiting, some body horror [shapechanging-ish] Jordan looked at the letter in disbelief, closed his eyes, opened them, and read them again, his large, darkly tanned hands, turning the expensive cream paper into little more than a handkerchief. “What the fuck?” Jordan ran his free hand over his bald, bullet-headed skull and read the letter …

Storytime: Baby Surprise
Elora fussed at her outfit in the full-length mirror, then grinned at herself wryly. Jay wouldn’t mind—or notice—if the white boatneck collar wasn’t perfectly straight. The only other person she was trying to impress was his 18 month old baby who also probably wouldn’t notice or care. In fact she fully expected the collar, and …

Prompt Short Story: Undercover
CW: police violence, body borrowing Xe couldn’t put it off anymore… Xe drew on xyr magically armoured hunting gear, attached and plucked xyr bowstring; checked the quiver for the silver-tipped arrows; and hung xyr silver-inlaid rapier. Xe stopped to look in the mirror. Not to admire xir form—it wasn’t actually xyr form to admire after …

Prompt Short Story: The Weave
CW: fighting, animal death I stamp my feet, feeling the gritty dust of the ground warm the bits of my bare feet that remained uncalloused. My armour is freshly cleaned and oiled, the smell of leather and linseed filling my nose as everything but my bare head began to sweat under the heat. I don’t …

Content Warnings: violent death (mentions), curse, magic, behavioural training (mentions) Fucking unbelievable. Here she is, in the middle of the goddamned night, calling to say she’s done it again. And of course what that means is “You have to help me!”. Fuck. And she knows, of course, that I’ll never say no. I can, but …

Prompt Short Story: On The Hunt
Gerard stepped out of the shop doorway, his zipped, dark blue jacket, black baseball cap, and black chinos rendering him almost invisible in the darkness of night. Occasional streetlamps flickered, picking out a dark beard, grey flecked, against the strong line of his jaw. He strode purposefully, but not speedily, along the pavement. In front …
