    Summary

    You think you know me. But the truth is; You don't.

    You think you know me. I think I know me. I do not.

    No-one knows me not any more and I'm alone in Eridia even with so many people about me.

    Summary

    Takes place after the Touchstarved demo (including the updated version). I speculate about the relationships and dynamics between the characters and later on in the next chapters about the whole lore - senobium, seaspring, etc. The first chapter comes right here, but I already have more of this story ready and further events sketched out, so we'll see how it goes. We are starting off casually and further down the road things will escalate - hopefully ;))

    Summary

    Mhin grunts quietly in acknowledgment. You can visualise how their lips curve down, though their profile is hidden by the deep cut of their cowl. “Stay with me.”

    You forget to breathe for a moment in your shock; Mhin, of all people, offering you a place? It is unusual of your taciturn companion, to say the least.

    You find Mhin where you always do, at the top of the watchtower just outside the Senobium's walls.

    Summary

    As you watch Ais and Leander laugh this easily together, so dissimilar yet so alike in some concealed aspects, and each of them unknowingly holding one half of your wretched heart, it occurs to you that there’s no way you could possibly make it through this intact.

    Summary

    It began with Fogfall; a Spectral mist that bled from the seams where reality wore so thin it split. From that fog emerged monsters, inhuman beings with unnatural powers. Some possessed language and intellect, others were mindless beasts driven by little more than the desire to slaughter. All were dangerous.

    As cities fell and unrest spread, humans united in their fear while monsters thrived in the chaos.

    Then there was me. I'm not even sure if I'm human. I was born cursed, my hands alter the minds of anyone I touch.

    Summary

    Something touches my shoulder and I reflexively swing my hand in the vague direction, potato still clutched tight. It's not connected yet. I realise distantly that that's good, could've caused a nasty chain reactions with the rest of the setup.
    I'm not moving anymore, someone caught my wrist. I refocus my vision. And stare at Leanders face, his wide eyed expression, the flat end of a zink nail only centimeters away from it.
    Mhins hold eases up when I pull against their restraint and I slowly set the potato down. I try to say something, but I feel more than hear the stuttering weeze I release instead. It hurts, now that I've noticed it. Like a cramp. It's loud, it must be.
    So why am I not hearing it? Shouldn't I hear it? The ... The Wet Wick is full of people, they're louder. That's why I'm not hearing it.

    But I'm not hearing that either.

    Oh.

    Summary

    “You can tie me up first if it makes you feel better…”

    The mage’s offer lingered in Jin’s mind like the feel of his soft skin on his fingertips. Leander had probably been half-joking when he’d made the suggestion, but…

    It’s not the worst idea. As far as methods to keep a monster under wraps go…

    Especially one that can destroy anyone with a single touch.

    Summary

    Mhin shifted slightly, leaning their head against Arioch's shoulder. Arioch wrapped an arm around Mhin, offering silent comfort. It was like looking in a mirror. They were both broken in their own ways, yet so intimately and unbrearably similar—almost painfully so.

    A lifetime of harsh experiences can make most people feel like they're broken beyond repair. For Mhin, they've learned to cope by keeping to themselves and accepting the cold world around them. But Arioch? Arioch had always been the one to reach out and offer a hand in the darkness. Arioch seemed to offer a glimmer of warmth and understanding that Mhin had never experienced before. And it hurt.

    Summary

    So maybe sleeping with the hot Monster literally the day you met him wasn't the brightest idea—whatever, sue you, you've had worse ones... and look, it turned out perfectly fine! It's not like you're likely to get a repeat performance anyway (no matter how much you might want one). It's fine. Everything's fine! More importantly, what now?

     

    The morning after, and beyond.

    (Will you choose your fate, or will your fate find you?)

    Summary

    “Back so soon, Sparrow?”

    Jin hadn't expected to return to the Seaspring so quickly, either. Let alone the day after — and that was to be expected, what with the day he'd had before. He'd need a week at the minimum to recuperate, but after noticing something particular about the lone guardian the night before...he made the spontaneous decision to pay an earlier visit.

    And this time, he comes with a gift. Hopefully, this visit will go over better than yesterday's...

    Summary

    After your little escapade with Ais outside of the bar, you return back inside to find that Vere is, against all your expectations, somehow still there.

    Too bad you could never leave well enough alone.
