  • Cut Off

    Cut Off

    hook, heartbreak, hypnosis

    He’s pacing. How could this be happening?

    He can’t believe it. Thandi would never betray him like this!

    But it’s all right there. The evidence. The bracelet has been cut. Thandi admires a ring on her finger. She smiles and blushes as she talks about someone else. There’s no room for him here.

    Why is she so happy about this? She knows she has a perfectly suited marriage candidate in him! And she… she… she cut it. She cut it off. And the look she gives him, one that once was walking the line between pity and tenderness, is simply cool indifference.

    It’s maddening.

    He could see the bracelet writhe on the table before her, reflecting his inner turmoil. As much as he adores her, if she’s found true love…Charlie grinds his teeth and storms into the forest.

    He can’t stop her. No matter how in like they are. No matter the promise they made. No matter the circumstance. If she is happy then so is he. Eventually.

  • I Just Adore You

    I Just Adore You

    fluff, sleep

    Charlie watches Thandi, the pressure in his chest rising with every breath. Every movement of hers is lovely. Every expression. Every small detail. He feels her through the bracelet and it’s heaven. The beat of her pulse and the warmth of her body pressed to his, even degrees removed, is a comfort he never thought he would enjoy.

    The bracelet squeezes gently as his heart rushes, wasting precious heartbeats on his adoration. Thandi looks up at Charlie and smiles. There’s some relief to the pain.

    Thandi watches his face light up, inner coil moving against her wrist. It never lets her forget. A giggle bursts out of her as she smiles broader, seeing his goofy, crooked smile in return. What a gorgeous man he is.

  • Sown

    Sown

    nsfw(ish), marking, fluff

    Charlie is giddy. No one knows what they did, and his seed is still inside of her. He can’t stop smirking at the backward glances Thandi gives him. Both of them share this secret excitement, knowing she’s filled with him.

    Her small giggle is wonderful as she blushes at him. She feels the bracelet twine and stroke at her wrist, tightening possessively. She gives it a peck to calm his excitement, but instead rouses him more.

    The two hook pinkies as they walk, bumping hips and brushing fingers. Being so close. Being so loved. And knowing that he’s left his mark in her…what a thrill. He can’t wait to do it again. And again. And again.

  • Teasing Game

    Teasing Game

    pining, TBO book 1 offshoot, foreplay

    It’s gotten to be a game. How quietly can they tease one another? Who can pull the most noise from the other? Moments alone are filled with butterfly kisses and fingers tracing forbidden places.

    Tonight, Charlie is winning. He’s behind her, holding her, trailing kisses down her neck before giving her a playful nip. The arch of her back is a subconscious response, and he takes advantage by trailing his fingers along her thighs.

    She feels her sensitivity heighten. His tongue. Him sucking on her now. Fingers creeping closer. She feels herself getting wetter. She feels him pressed to her. He won’t let up until she signals her defeat.

    The temptation is strong. Let them become one. Let him finally break down the barrier between them. Let them both cave into one another’s desire.

    Let him fuck her until words have no meaning and all she knows is begging for more.

    Instead, she leans back and whispers, “That’s enough, darling.” He pulls back his touches and gives her a final kiss on the neck before simply holding her to him, eyes closed. Her head clears.

    Things are fine as they are.

  • Misc Sleep 1 & 2

    Misc Sleep 1 & 2

    sleep, drabble, fluff

    He’s holding her close, spooning her. It’s oddly comfortable to have him pressed so close to her as he sleeps. It’s warm, and it feels…safe.

    Her eyes flutter closed as she enjoys the faint tickle at the back of her neck, breath from lips that were a ghost on her.

    Every day is a dream. Charlie wakes with Thandi in his arms and sleeps with her curled against him. She touches him, strokes him, pets him to comfort. And he only wants to be there for her. All the time.

  • Panther Nap

    Panther Nap

    sleep, drabble, fluff

    Thandi strokes the large head of the panther in her lap. It purrs for her as it rests lazily, her fingers scratching him just right. When she’s careless and drops her hand, the panther’s tongue rasps on her fingers, huge paws reaching out and tapping her hopefully.

    “Charlie. Come now. Don’t be greedy.”

    The cat huffs and settles again, tail tip flicking. She reads on.

    Eventually, she reaches down again, and instead of velvety fur, she feels soft hair that curls just ever so slightly. Charlie’s head sits in her lap and heat blooms in her cheeks. Her fingers return to his head, and he hums quietly, already asleep.

     “Thandi…”

    Is he dreaming of her? How flattering. She gets comfortable, continuing reading. His even breathing and warmth as she scratches his hair is almost hypnotic, lulling her closer to sleeping herself. Her fingers stroke his cheek, playing a little with the hair along his jawline. What would he look like if she managed to get him to trim everything? Even when he first arrived, he was looking a little shaggy, hair slipped behind his ear.

  • Dipshits

    Dipshits

    fluff, dancing, tbo canon offshoot

    Lips on her neck and arms round her body, Thandi laughs as Charlie covers her in kisses.

    “You scoundrel!”

    She could feel his breath on her as he laughs. “Yes, and?”

    “You’re rather affectionate today, aren’t you?”

    “Hmm.” He sways her side to side as he always does, eyes closed as he contemplates. “Of course I am.”

    The two of them twine fingers and sway quietly. They’re on watch together, and this is how they keep awake. It fills them both with a buzzing sort of energy, makes it hard to sleep, and now it’s just routine to be close like this.

    “Of course you are.” Thandi wiggles out of his grip and turns to face him. His smirk plays across his face, and she can’t help it. She reaches out and strokes his cheek, enjoying the hum he makes when she touches him. “You’re darling.”

    “You’re dear,” he mumbles back as he opens his arms for her. She steps into his embrace again and they dance a little, laughing at the absurdity of it. He holds her close, and she hugs him closer. “I like you so much.”

    “I like you!”

    His lips press to her cheek and she feels his hair tickle her as he nuzzles her. Being a panther sometimes certainly added to his library of touching; sometimes she was surprised the man himself couldn’t purr, with all the humming he does at her.

    Again, lips on her neck and it’s back to work keeping each other awake.

  • 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.
