" Skyes, its about us. This is very important to me. Skyes... do you love me?" I pause. Do i? I don't even know because i would have feelings then its like my instincts say, no.

Monsters
They're falling in love with their best friends, but past trauma and current taboos have a way of making everything more complicated. Will they be able to heal from their pasts? Or will they always see themselves as monsters? This story can be read as a standalone, but it is the sequel to both Light in the Darkness and Hashbrown and Crow. *There will be darker themes in this story and sexual content. The main characters all suffered abuse and neglect in some form, and they will reference it throughout the story in one way or another. People cope with trauma differently, and I hope that I respectfully represent that while still telling a story that is romantic fiction. --Complete

Wrong Side of the Bed 1 Act I
Early in the 15th century, a young witch of Killarney, Ireland, Elva (she/her, 21), discovered to her horror that hunters penetrated the magic wards protecting her home. Forced to choose between an excruciating death or defying her late grandmother's warnings, she mournfully opened her grimoire to summon a protective demon. During her desperate ritual, however, an innocent mistake sealed her fate and she found herself in a new world at the bedside of a gorgeous, yet irate, succubus (she/her, 3242). Did this witch bite off more than she could chew, or is this the start of an adventure in self-discovery, love, and healing? Wrong Side of the Bed is a Heaven and Hell themed Risk-Aware Consensual Kink (R.A.C.K.) BDSM dark fantasy erotica with a strong plot, a primarily LGBTQIA+ cast, themes of sapphic romance and coming out, and characters living with severe PTSD. This novella and aspects of this series contain graphic depictions of violence, terror, death, abuse, crude language, non-consensual BDSM, and discrimination. This may be upsetting, so appropriate content warnings are supplied before each chapter. In addition, readers are given warnings before especially traumatic scenes and are provided with summaries before less disturbing content continues.Complete
