Autumn Hours
August Hours - A Touch-of-Shadow's Erotic Short My septims were short, and my belly was hungry. My attention was paid to the road that I walked and the nearness of Riften, where the gates stood as proud sentinels, visible miles off. I would reach it...
Alien Pain
The darkness is pleasing. The rains left, though the sky still rood heavy across the sky, filled with rain yet unfallen, Amidst the breeches of sunlight, shadows danced and played a merry game of chase and stalk, much...
An Alolan Welcome
The drizzle danced on my spine, as I made my way down Heahea beach. The water was warm, and light enough that I was actively enjoying it, but the clouds on ahead were growing darker from the ocean side, and I knew with it would come a heavier...
Miles High
Miles High The 'Miles High' club was a small bar on the outskirts of town. A place that required as much an invitation as it did the right clientele, it was a place for fliers, for the winged and ethereal folk to meet and greet, and rarely opened it's...
Miles Away
Another day, another god-damned problem at the Ranch. "Don't worry, I've got condoms." I said, passing by the long haired Mizzandra, the dark elf who liked to play the piano in her skivvies. She shot a purple-lipped pout at me as I stalked into a...

Club Pangaea The beats thumped the walls and shook the patrons, coming from the great speakers along the walls. Beating, like the hearts of an angry dragon, the ferocious sound pushed aside all worries, all conversation, and all distractions but the...
Value of a Stone
Quiet, cool, dark. It was a perfect place to strike for the much sought iron ore. Close enough to others, close enough to hear the pitter-patter of feet upon the long smoothed floor, yet far enough to not be swarmed by others of my tribe, I swung my...
To love from afar
And so with my staff against my chest, I lay my head down upon the bar, and listened to the quiet din of voice and song. My staff to my chest, I laid my fingers across the polished oak wood, and swayed slightly, lightly, against the current of...
Of Skies and Storms; and the Rite of Open Blossoms
**Of Skies and Storms, and the Rite of Orchids Young eyes gazed into burning embers, and took deep a breath of the coming day. Young eyes, no younger than fifteen summers, stared upon the crackling hearth and rose a smile upon her lips. The fire...
Three days leave
Alone. Onboard a star-ship, being alone is a strange sensation. Where there should have been at least a crew of two hundred people, there was only me. I walked alone onboard my ship - overlooking the console and observing the beeping screens...
