    Chandis 1 – Nov 2019 thru Dec 2019

    Chandis are collections of drabbles and vignettes that I collect in one place until the document gets too big and then I move on to another one.

    original cover vs binding cover

    The one I made in 2019 in Canva.

    Based off that, I did a quick painting of Charlie writing in his journal for the cover.

    Writing

    • Fever Dream

      There’s a shivering bundle sitting along the path that Charlie walks along tonight. It gives him pause as he hears the rasp of illness, a rattle that threatens to become something worse.

    • Wolf Sighting

      Thandi sees the wolf amid the brush. It watches her warily, so she moves slowly.

    • Moping

      Charlie is insatiable. Thandi laughs as he kisses every bit of her neck as he can, excited to be with her again.

    • The Neighbor’s Dog

      Ever since Thandi started seeing the wolf in her yard, she’s been sitting out every morning with a mug, before the fog even lifts.

    • The Beginning

      When did it start? When did she start catching his eye?

    • Contagious Fear

      “What are you scared of?” “Being split in half.”

    • Estate Test

      Charlie Backstory, Child Abuse, TBO Canon Charlie presses himself into a cabinet, holding his breath as he hears the door creak open. He hears the heavy steps of his father as he enters the library. There is a pause, then the steps leave, door clicking shut. A few more cautious seconds, and Charlie emerges from…

    • Good Things…

      There will always be a distance between them that he can’t close. There will always be the knowledge that this is a diversion and nothing more.

    • Lullaby

      Instances like this are few and far between. Charlie saves it for those truly difficult nights, and he always starts so quiet.

    • Spiked

      His vision blurs and swims, and a face gets close to him. Someone… here to help? Someone… someone… anyone will do.

    • She’s a Goddess

      People always manage to keep the drinks coming at parties like these, and then he drinks. It’s in his hand, he must, and gods. He’s lonely.

    • Cold Night

      Charlie pulls his jacket tighter around his shoulders, giving a nod to the servant on the other side of the glass. She returns the nod, expression grave, before leaving him in the back gardens. Locked out again.

    • What Makes It Love?

      Thandi’s words roll through Charlie’s head time and again. What even is love?

    • Cowardice

      Charlie grimaces as he watches the arms of the sube man shake under the weight of Yu Min. It’s like watching an elderly dog being brought out on the hunt.

    • Home

      The quiet is maddening. It’s no perfect silence, as there is the distant hum of the hardware in the kitchen and crickets outside. But! To Charlie, the silence is overbearing.

    • She’ll Be Home Soon

      There’s been a problem building up lately that he’d rather avoid coming to light: he’s in love with his best friend.

    • Familiar Melody

      The air is cool tonight. He takes a deep breath, tasting the fog as it twists around the trees. It’s always this place lately, something sinister and tense about it.

    • Delayed Gratification

      Charlie is stretched out, shirt untucked and open, sleeping away a spot of lethargy that occasionally takes him into downright crankiness.

    • Thandi’s Kitty

      Thandi’s hands run over Charlie’s chest, massaging him. She enjoys the feeling of the heat of his skin, the firmness of the muscle there.

    • Excursion

      Thandi shakes her head, laughing. “I know that he has a reputation for nastiness, but I promise I can handle it. It’ll be good for my career to go out on this expedition!”

  • 4 Year AU

    4 Year AU

    The 4 year AU was a collaborative RP between Kay, GSM, and two others before it got sidetracked and exploded. It was not finished but it took place during the

  • Coffeehouse

    Coffeehouse

    Our first real fic! It was a weird one! Charlie is a food review blogger— yeah, the guy who won’t eat even with a gun held to his head, I know— but I still remember what Kay said when she came up with this idea. “What if we could have our cake and eat it, too?”

    the binding

    There were some hiccups in the binding but I think it still looks pretty great for how it went. Here’s some pics of the processing:

    2023 work I did for the bind. They’re paragraph separators!

    Easily the funniest one is the cinnamon roll. I will not explain. Imaginative folks need not state why.

    The comic above shows just how old this story is. I ended up using this art when I did the typesetting for this scene as well. This was originally something I posted up for a DoDL as well.

    I would post the fake website images as well but I’m afraid I don’t remember where I sourced the photos I used (seeing as the actual fic is for Writer Eyes Only), so this will have to do.

    Actual image I put at the end of the typeset.

  • Alone Together

    Alone Together

    Alone Together is a TBO-era story where Thandi meets Charlie in the Wood while picking herbs and they bond anonymously, outside of the realm of their societal expectations. It was written in 2019. It established Charlie’s more flirtatious side and his drunken personality, though in the end a lot about both Thandi and Charlie changed.

    The full illustration for the cover I did. There was no need to do a lot of background detail so I didn’t worry about that.

    The cover is actually based off this 2019 drawing I did.

  • Heartbeat

    Heartbeat

    Heartbeat is a semi-vampire AU where energy is transferred at first through blood and life force, but the need for such is slowly replaced by emotional fulfillment. It’s a modern-day Priority AU.

  • Glass Figures

    Glass Figures

    A 2023 hurt/comfort fic where Thandi finds Charlie begging for escape from his life. His repeated suicide attempts have yielded failure after failure and she is his last hope to escape the clutches of his father.

  • Pokemon: Peony & Camellia

    Pokemon: Peony & Camellia

    An AU based in the Pokemon world, in no particular region. We didn’t want to make Fakemon for it, but we decided that it’s Pokemon in the world of Alleria instead of Alleria in the world of Pokemon (if that makes sense). Charlie and Thandi go on their adventure at the ripe age of ten and go from there. Modern amenities somewhat exist.

  • MADLY

    MADLY

    Madly is a rare Charlie-bottoming fic where he is so mentally ill about Thandi that he gives off future murderer vibes. Thandi is both horrified and flattered by his obsession, using it to twist him back into shape.

    In this one Charlie is legitimately off the deep end and needs Thandi to save him.

  • Hypothetical Timeline

    Hypothetical Timeline

    “How can I even say I love you. When I destroy you with every word?”

    One of the first fics we wrote, hence the simple title of “Hypothetical Timeline”. It’s an offshoot of canon where Thandi rejects Charlie and breaks his heart, so he never finds peace with everyone because his prickly nature never quite eases.

    After the adventure, they spend a year apart, but Thandi reaches out for his help. In order to appear like all is well and he doesn’t need her, Charlie enlists the help of someone to pretend he is betrothed, failing spectacularly.

    It’s a bumpy fic as we learned one another’s writing styles but I recall it being very fun to write. We never ended up finishing this one, though.

    Bound Version

    The cover was a challenge. I had intended to use vinyl but it wasn’t HTV, so it refused to stick to the fabric when I tried to put it on. After all that fucking weeding, too. I ended up printing the cover onto clear sticker sheets and affixing it to the fabric instead.

    The interior design is quite nice in my opinion. I think there’s some improvements to be made, but overall I’m quite pleased. It’s a smaller volume— 4.25×5.5. My printer can’t handle these smaller pages very well, though, so it will be a rarity in the future.

    You’ll notice I have also taken care to do some censorship in the pages for certain characters! We do not play around with that. 🙂
