ace aro ghost hauntedmansion lgbt novella trans transgender

Jeremy is a sucker for paintings, good or bad, when he needs to cover bare walls. When his family moves into his grandfather's old home he takes it as an opportunity to reclaim artwork lost to the attic. The search begins but one thing stands in his way: an intriguing box.

It turns out the Bertie Mansion has more hidden inside than mediocre paintings. He can delve into the secrets of the home and risk learning information long since buried, or continue on his original mission and risk leaving the past uncovered when it is due time to let it see light. Whichever path he picks, the ball has already started rolling and it's only a matter of time.

Demon's House by PracticalAxical

Atlas just wanted to do his non-binary friend Jay a favor. Apparently that was too much to ask on a Halloween afternoon. At least, it was too much when that favor was to make them feel safe from the creepy, superstitious house across the street. Atlas makes the mistake of allowing the allure of the creature to draw him in without even realizing it had happened. What will he do when he finds that the humanoid demon man is just his type and vice verse? Trigger warning for anxiety, depression, and self-harm, and I imagine demon porn may "trigger" some.
