Ah, Borrowers! Don't we all know the stories? Those adorably quaint little people, living underneath the floorboards and traversing within the walls! And my word! Living off the crumbs that Humans leave behind and borrowing odd bits and bobs to use in quite unexpected ways - aren't they a plucky and bold little folk! Well, screw you, Human, Elliot would beg to differ. _________________________________ He is young, he is hot, he is educated - and he just stole your Wi-Fi-Password. Elliot is not about to take any condescending verbal bullsh*t from any human BEING (you just wait for his review of that story - he's going to take you apart one sentence at a time). Well, unless maybe it's from that Dude sharing his home. He's very much willing to accept quite BIG and HARD ..."words"... from that one, should he choose to THRUST them at him... But no matter how mindblowingly attractive, humans are still a scary and dangerous lot, and you can't just waltz out there, expecting to spend a Delightful Afternoon of Domination, Debasement, and Disgustingly Delicious Perversion, and then politely take your leave afterward. Elliot isn't an idiot after all, and he certainly isn't about to risk ending up locked in some cage and kept as a pet - (although... well, no matter!) only to discover that there is no fun to be had for his troubles - or at least, none that he'd approve of. But Elliot isn't about to give up on his passion, quite so easily. There is always a way. After all, what else is the internet for? __________ Beware, SMUT ahead. (If you hadn't guessed ;D )

Evil spirits. A cursed prince. Death itself in disarray. Iris just wants to go home, but fate has other plans for this young priestess and her odd companions. /// The land of Erinlin is dying, its ancient traditions choked out by the Kaerent church and its true priestesses, the Candlemaidens, increasingly regarded with fear and suspicion. All Iris wants is to tend her candles, win her shade battles, and chat with the spirits of her realm. But when she is torn away from her home by the Kaerent king, she learns that her country needs her to be far more than a typical Candlemaiden-- she must be as the legendary priestesses of old and walk through Death itself. *** Cover help from the awesome @ArdenBrooks.
