A merchant stumbles on a grotto when he is lost and eats his last apple. He plants the seeds the next day to provide food... more>> for future lost travelers. And so, the nymph Theanore is born.
She would grow from a tiny seed to a splendid apple tree. She would meet many friends. She will try her hand at being a merchant like her father. And she will get to know her lifetime companion, the merman Marinus.

I was an ordinary worker ant of the Kingdom, one of the millions populating a spread of land ten kilometers long. I had an ordinary life: I dug, I ate, and I slept; and a dream that was shared by all workers who wanted to live a life of adventure. I was on the last day of my mandatory community service, a day from becoming one of the harvesters --the crown jewel of our society-- when fate played its sick joke on me.
I broke my mandible, lost my dream, and was almost forced into slavery as a result.
That’s when she came into my life, a princess. She had no wings on her back,... more>> but the wings inside her were wider than the fairies that roamed the sky. She took me under her wing and populated my life with adventures and mysteries unreserved for a mere harvester.

Life was good, until we found termites sneaking into our territory. That’s when the adventures ended.

She was mocked for calling the termites a threat. They called her Tiny for her statue, and told her to keep her steps in check. However, she remained determined to protect her kingdom and I, to protect her. No matter the difficulties, I remained by her side. Because we were a pair: she was my princess, and I was her, Royal Guard. <<less

A collection of short stories with the characters having come from another world. BL Romances, a couple of Regular Romances, and maybe even some GL, but I don't know about the last one. If I write a GL story, I will add the tag. Until then, I won't. The first short story is about a troll, who trolls his way into the love of his life's... bed. (BL)... more>>

Mostly, these are stories written from different prompts. I need a palate cleanser, and so, I will write short stories for a while.

"In Earth's distant future, most of its religions known today decline or change. As a result of this spiritual upheaval, the barrier between the spiritual world and the physical one falter, and ghouls and demons are loosed upon the earth.
