Three short Girls Love / Sapphic / Lesbian stories, originally written for "9 Nights in the Garden of Lilies: A Yuri Garden Anthology" on Scribble Hub. Contained in this collection is: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TO BE A PRINCESS (THERE MUST FIRST BE PAIN) Princesses don't cry. This is the one rule for royalty in Corde Femmes. Vervain has known since she was a child that her fate is to be kidnapped by the Demon Queen, like all princesses before her, and saved after a year of penance. It's the only way to appease the goddess, Feuvert. But when her summoned hero sneers at the task before her and refuses to follow tradition, Vervain fears that Feuvert's wrath will destroy them all. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE HEART IS A SEA Mermaids are beautiful everyone knows that. But at what point does admiring them become something more? Skye has been wrestling with that question for almost the whole thirteen years of her life. Now, cast out by her friends under suspicion of being "a lesbo", it seems like the only question that matters. When an enthusiastic mermaid princess offers her a deal that might bring her closer to the answer, Skye agrees without sparing a thought for the consequences. "The Heart is a Sea" is a romantic comedy about compulsory heterosexuality and mer-human culture clash. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MUIRGEN On their sixth anniversary, an explosion stole their lives. Tristan was still reeling from the loss of his wife when he was reborn as Muirgen, the plain daughter of minor nobility. In a flashy fantasy land that his brother would have drooled over, what was waiting for him was not a life of magic or easy glory, but exploitation at the hands of a father who legally owned him. Just when he had lost all hope, an unexpected second chance arrives through a political marriage to the dark elf queen. "Muirgen" is an atypical gender bender about grief, agency, and the art of learning to love again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The character art used to create the cover was made with the "Sailor Senshi Maker 3" game by Drachea Rannak and Doll Divine, found here: https://www.dolldivine.com/sailor-moon-senshi-maker.php (Non-commerical use with credit allowed)

Vree liked his humans. They were kind, clever, and tended to be adorable, in the way that a small, particularly spiny cub was adorable right before it bit you. Of course, small adorable cubs usually couldn’t shapeshift or burst into flame whenever it suited them. Tusca hired a teenager on a whim, and a doctor because they were old friends. Unfortunately, nothing is ever simple when a Red Baron is at the helm.

John works as a rider, moving from settlement to settlement and enforcing the rule of the court. Of course, none of this means he can't take a short detour to handle matters of personal importance. The stories I write take place in the same world; you can read more about this world when more of it is written.

Time takes everything. Nothing can beat it, nothing can change it, entropy will always take its course but there are always those who try to resist it, to try and immortalise themselves in one way or another. There is never a question of whether they will succeed, but of how many will be dragged down in the attempt and just how long it will take for time to wipe the slate clean. For there is no such thing as immortality. [Joint 4th runner up in the January 2024 RR Community Magazine Contestant "Immortality is a Myth" with also the highest prompt adherence score]

An adult imagining of Beatrice Santello's life prior to the events of Night in the Woods. There are no explicit depictions of sex here, though there are obviously adult themes and situations involving it. I wasn't going to post it to Royalroad as I didn't think Fanfiction was okay here - but now I see it is and I am quite convinced it is the best work I've ever done yet, I've got to see what any fans of NitW think about it! The first chapter was originally written as a short vignette and wasn't intended to be continued into a full blown story. It was just intended to be moody and evocative. Even though anyone that has played Night in the Woods has a good idea how this must end, I hope it will still be worth the read. Also, since I've finished writing it, I'm going to post it as one big chapter dump all at once. Cover drawing by GreasyMojo and colored by me (with permission!). I don't think it should be too risque on it's own but I suppose I'll soon find out.
