Cookies and Cuddles

Virgil was Thomas’s Anxiety. As such, if Thomas was anxious, Virgil knew why. (Well. Usually. When the anxiety was a nebulous ball of uncertainty, Virgil couldn’t place what was wrong. But he always knew at least as much as Thomas did.) However, things worked a bit differently inside the mindscape. While Virgil could still feel it if one of the other sides was anxious, he couldn’t tell what the source was, and general stress was even harder to place than anxiety. There had been an uncomfortable ball of nerves in Virgil’s stomach all afternoon. He’d tried ignoring it until it went away on its own, but that hadn’t worked yet, so he went to figure out what was causing it. Most of the tension was a general stress he couldn’t source, but there was an edge of anxiety, and that felt like Patton. Virgil sank out of his room to pop in on the Pop. Patton was in the kitchen, taking a tray of cookies out of the oven. Janus was also there, sitting on the counter and daintily eating a

Chocolate Kisses

Remus walked into the kitchen on the morning of November First carrying a plastic pumpkin overflowing with candy. “Mornin, Stormy,” he said cheerfully, plonking the pumpkin on the table. A few pieces spilled over the brim. “Last night was fun!” “Mm-hm,” Virgil agreed. He was watching the coffee pot slowly fill, and clearly wasn’t fully awake yet. Remus watched him watch the coffee pot, rummaging idly through his candy score. His fingers hit a foil wrapped something with a very specific, familiar shape, and a devious plot sparked in his brain. “Would you like a kiss on the forehead?” Virgil turned toward him, a bit of surprise showing through his sleepiness, but no alarm. God, sleepy Virgil was adorable. “Uh,” he said. “Sure.” Virgil took a step towards him, and Remus threw the candy at him. To his delight, his aim was perfect, and the chocolate kiss struck Virgil dead center in the middle of his forehead. It bounced off him and fell to the floor. Virgil stopped. “Ow,” he

Not Just the Two of Us 6: A Lot of Information

Virgil and Roman, having done the least before-dinner work, were given the after-dinner chores. Virgil cleared the table, putting the food away and bringing the dishes to Roman, who filled the sink with soapy water and began the washing up. Every time Virgil brought him a dish, Roman ‘paid’ him for it with a kiss on the lips. They had stacked the plates and gathered the silverware for easier carrying, but after Virgil had carried over a cup in each hand and received a kiss for their delivery, he brought the rest of the dishes over one piece at a time. It took him quite a while to clear the table in this manner. Patton hopped up

Secret Shifter

It had been a perfect day. One of the odd days when Rose and Sam had had a day off in common, and they decided to spend it together. No plans, just hanging out and goofing around. They’d spent a large portion of the morning simply sitting together on Rose’s living room couch and watching cartoons, and now they were in her kitchen, doing their best to make lemonade from its base components. Sam poured a small portion into his cup, taking a sip. He made a face. “Still too sour?” Rose asked. Sam nodded. “Put in like… twice as much sugar.” Sam put his cup down, picking up the sugar instead, and starte

Boops Deferred

It took Patton far longer than he expected it to, but he eventually found Logan. He was in the library, sitting on the floor between two towering shelves, hunched over the thick tome in his lap. “I’m going to boop you,” Patton announced cheerily, skipping up to him. “And there are a very limited number of things you can do to stop me.” Logan didn’t turn to greet him, or even look up from the book. “I’m in the middle of something, Patton.” Patton circled around Logan to sit in front of him. “Is it important?” “Very.” Still Logan didn’t look up, keeping his eyes fixed on the pages before him. Patton wondered what could possibly be so compelling. “More important than boops?” he tried again. “I need to not be distracted right now,” Logan said, and still he didn’t look at him. “Can the boops wait until I’m done?” Patton bit his lip, nodding. Logan had said them without any apparent emotion at all, but that still made three soft nos, and one of the limited number of things Logan could

Mastication Concentration

“Do you have any gum?” The sides in the living room look up. Logan’s on the stairs, leaning over the banister and looking down at them. “Gum?” Patton repeats. Logan nods. “I’m out,” he says. “I’ve already drunk five mugs of tea, I can’t just keep making more. And chewlery is just too squeaky right now, and I’m trying not to destroy any more shirt collars. So, do you have any gum?” They exchange glances. Nobody, it seems, has gum. Then Remus perks up excitedly. “Ooh!” Logan, relieved, starts to say, “You have—” “Me!” Logan pauses. “What?” “Chew on me!” Remus elaborates, bounding to his feet and hurrying over to the stairwell. He grabs a railing in each hand, looking up at Logan imploringly. Logan makes a face. Then pauses. Reconsiders. “That… that actually might be a worthwhile stim,” he admits. Remus squeals happily, and Logan adds, “But no injuries. I don’t want blood in my mouth; I don’t like the taste.” Remus rolls his eyes. “Oh, fine. I’ll be durable.” But he’s still

Virgil the Wee Vampire Chapter 14: Negotiations

That night, as they flew together, and found some unsuspecting livestock to feed from and a space just big enough for two bats to shelter from the sun, Virgil and Thomas filled each other in on the events that had happened since they’d last seen each other in their cave days ago, and they mourned their family together. They also discussed what they wanted to do next. By the time the sun rose, they had a tentative plan. The brothers fell asleep wrapped in each other’s wings, feeling more secure than they had in a long time. They slept soundly all through the day, and after the sun had set again, they returned to the house where Virgil’s humans lived. They went to the window that Patton had opened for them; it was still open, and after Virgil peeked quickly inside to be sure they weren’t about to fly in on a human using the room, they entered. “Where do you think we’ll find them?” Thomas asked as they flew through the hallway. “I dunno,” Virgil said. He peeked into one of the

Not Just the Two of Us Ch. 5: Further Discussion

“So,” Patton said. “Polyamory.” They were all seated around the dinner table now, with Patton across from Roman and Virgil across from Logan. Patton figured it was as good a time as any to get some more information. “Yep!” Roman answered cheerfully. “Could you tell me more about it? I wanna understand.” “Certainly. What did you wish to know?” Patton shrugged a bit. “Honestly, I’m not even sure where to start asking questions. It’s a really new concept for me. I didn’t know you even could date two people at once.” “It’s not cheating, cause we all agreed to do it,” Virgil said. “That’s a good starting point.” Patton considered. “Any new words I need to know?” “Yes,” Logan answered. “The structure of our relationship is called a V, like the letter and Virgil’s first initial. This is a visualization wherein the three of us are each a point, and a solid line connecting two people is a romantic relationship.” He held up a hand with two fingers raised to illustrate. “Virgil and I are

Gastric

Ernest was woken by a tiny pair of hands shoving energetically at his cheek. This was, by this point, not an unusual way to wake up, and he knew better by now than to swat at the source of the odd sensation. Instead, he mumbled “Good morning, Cass,” without opening his eyes. “Good morning, honeybun!” Cass chirped in reply. “Happy Vore Day!” “Happy what?” Ernest asked sleepily. “Vore Day!” Cass repeated, just as enthusiastically as the first time. “What’s a vore?” Ernest opened one eye now, but since his face was turned to the right and he had opened the eye on that side, half of his vision was pillow, and above that, he could see Cass only up to the knee. He closed his eye again. “Is that those little mouse things that get in gardens?” “What? No.” Cass sounded quite derailed, and was silent long enough that Ernest considered going back to sleep. Before he could do so, however, she apparently regathered her train of thought, because she draped herself against his face, leaned her

The Leprechaun and the Dustdevil (Contest 2019)

From the outside the shop certainly didn’t look busy. It was a small building, nestled in the heart of the city between a rather boisterous pub and a blacksmith’s, and the single-story edifice looked particularly inconspicuous in comparison to the two. A worn sign affixed to the front declared it to be “Newton’s Booksellers and Scribing Services”. There was only one window facing the front, and that had long since been covered up by the wares within. Perhaps this was why when Sawyer opened the only door and stepped inside, only to be met with nothing short of chaos, he was surprised by it. “Close the door! Close the damn door!” The frantic demand came from one of the many men running about inside, though Sawyer wasn’t sure which. Regardless he complied immediately, closing the door behind himself and trying to make sense of the sight in front of him. There were at least three men scrambling around the store, looking intent on finding something and occasionally swearing. The man who

My Bio

Hi! I'm going to be posting lots of Sci-fi/fantasy type stuff here, Most of which is gonna be G/t. (If you don't know, that stands for Giant/tiny.) Much of the rest will involve dragons, magic, or both. Don't worry, it won't be too violent or anything. I prefer to keep all of my characters alive.
I mainly think of myself as a writer, but I do draw a lot too, so there's many pictures in my gallery too.

Yes, I occasionally change my tagline. I get tired of the old one or think up something better... or whatever.

New Year's Day Portrait 2016 by Phoenix-FireMage

(2016)

I am perfectly willing to do art trades and/or commissions!
And I am always up for a good roleplay. Particularly if it involves G/t and/or magic.

I don't generally thank people for faves, and I will not be offended in the least if you don't thank me for them.
However, fair warning to those who do thank me: unless you tell me what faving you're thanking me for, you'll probably only get a 'you're welcome' in return. I have short term memory loss about such things and I'm too lazy to go look it up. Sorry.

Also, I have a stamp collection that I add to whenever I find new ones I like:
