Querencia (n.) 1. A place where one feels safe, at home. 2. (Spanish:) to want, to desire, and to love.
Charlie has to learn so many things anew. A faithful night in Vienna teaches him gratitude. Sadly, it also teaches him trust, trust for a boy.
He should know better.
In a span of twenty-four hours, after all, all of Charlie's senses become him, the stranger he met on the train. He sees him, sees the outlines of his face and body in the moonlight. He feels him, feels the heat of his presence. He hears him, hears him breathe as his breath shallows and evens. He believes he can taste that breath. And he smells him. The most powerful sense, the scent. It is entirely encompassed by this tantalising boy and it shapes a memory in his head, the memory of this stranger being there where he was most alone, of him giving Charlie a piece of his mind, a chance at new beginnings, of the stranger giving him a presence beside him.
He should know better.
He's in love. He can't know better.

Plan Of Seduction
"I hate you - so much Tripp." More confusion because, once more, wasn't this a good thing? "Why did you have to say that? What if," A little quieter, just above a whisper. "What if we mess up our friendship?" "But what if we don't?" "You don't know that," I bumped his nose with my finger. "And neither do you. So, why don't we give it a shot?" He bit down on his bottom lip, hesitation and worry filling his gaze. __ This is literally a story that follows the plot of two best friends realizing their feelings for each other, yes, I know, very cliche, but I enjoyed writing it. There will be mature LGBT+ content, so if you don't want to read those chapters or this story, skip it.

Sloane Takesume, a male calico demihuman just wanted a job. What he got instead was a sentient necklace, a vampire deal he didn't ask for, and the slow descent into a world of blood, danger, and uncomfortably intimate sparring matches. He's not ready. But he's already marked and luck has never been on his side. The deeper he falls, the more he begins to uncover-about others, about the danger chasing him, and about himself. Because maybe being "lucky" was never about fortune.
