Blood Drunk is a 2019 fic before we hammered things out about Thandi and Charlie’s relationship and personalities. It ended prematurely because the peanut gallery hated it.


A 2019 fic where Thandi is a succubus who gains a new territory and picks Charlie to be her first meal. Unfortunately, he’s a lot of work.

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. It’s always alone, and it seems intrigued by her. She’s been careful not to tempt it closer; the view is always enough.
A dark shape emerges from the mist. The wolf trots into the yard and fixes her with a gaze that feels…
That feels… intelligent. Wolves alone are smart, but when this one looks at her, she can almost feel his thoughts. It’s a puzzle.
They stare at one another, as they’ve done every morning. Today, though, there’s something different. The wolf disappears into the fog, then reappears moments later, carrying a basket. It comes right up to her, and she finally sees that the wolf is collared. A big, leather collar with a glinting tag affixed to it.
Briar.
The wolfdog backs up and dashes into the mist, prompting Thandi to rise and peek at the basket. There is a card and a tin of tea, nestled in among peonies.
Good morning. Thank you for keeping my dog company. I hope he has delivered this adequately. He is prone to wandering. We are glad to have a neighbor who seems to enjoy his company. Thank you once more.

“Where’s my coat?” Charlie looks to and fro at the closet. “I could have sworn I hung up my coat here…” He’s speaking more to himself than anyone else; Thandi has fallen asleep on the couch, and he’s not keen on waking her before he’s ready to go.
The rattle of hangers gets on his nerves until he finds his coat. The thing is, it’s not the coat that he arrived in. He misplaced it just last month… in much the same situation… Is Thandi stealing his coats? Or worse, everything inside his coats? He pulls it on and explores the pockets. Everything is here. Hm.
Buttoning up, he’s got everything he needs, and it’s time to say goodbye to Thandi. He kneels by her face, shaking her shoulder gently, and his eye catches the edge of a sleeve peeking from under her pillow. Why would she…
Ah.
Oh.
A smile breaks across his face. It makes him feel warm, actually. It’d be fun to tease her a little later, so rather than trying again to wake her, he pulls the coat from under her pillow and lays it over her. He pauses for a moment. If he’s not waking her, then he should at least make sure her hair is wrapped or she’ll be irritable about it in the morning.
And if he’s doing that, he may as well tidy up a little.
Thandi stirs in the wee hours, surprised to feel as warm as she does. Two coats lay over her. She blinks, aghast, and looks about the room. The lights are out, their meals are tidied, her hair is wrapped, and—there he is. Charlie is asleep on the floor, borrowing her pillow and blanket from the bedroom.
He looks so sweet like this. Carefully, she reaches out and tangles her fingers into his hair, scratching his scalp lightly. The sound of his breathing deepens, seeming to calm from what she hadn’t realized was a fitful sleep. It must have been agonizing, waiting for her to wake. He always did love to poke fun at her. Thandi weighs her options. He’s no longer so touch averse with her, and he seems to know. Besides… that’s *her* pillow, and it’s *her* blanket. Perfectly justifiable. And perhaps he is a little cold.
She slides off the couch and settles in beside him. It’s best to go straight to the source for this smell, this warmth, this comfort.

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?”



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.

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.

Charlie in varying stages of emaciation due to his needing blood.

The couple watching one of those shows where the small child goes out to do their first chore alone (while monitored closely by many adults on the down-low).

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.

Giving your future wife that chokehold-lite.

ROMANCE at its FINEST.

Only a sane person would steal a synthetic beating heart, put it inside a pillow covered in a stolen lab coat that smells like your colleague, and use magic to make the heart beat so that you could hibernate against it for a month!

A long-running and ongoing AU that I periodically return to to relax. It’s a middle to high school childhood AU where Charlie and Thandi attend a magical boarding school together. It’s a departure from the Snake & Raven universe where I build my own world in conjunction with Alleria’s canon.

I just like the idea of Charlie tirelessly taking care of Thandi as she goes about her day to day. It delights me. It also apparently delights him.

They’re so cute.

I wanted a phone background that didn’t obscure their faces and worked with what I wanted. It worked so well that I continue to use it years later.
They’re so FUCKING cute.

Using the SCM Chandi couple to illustrate.





I decided to separate out the SCM and the regular sketchbook stuff. This sketchbook had a LOT of SCM going on in it.

I often refer to Charlie in SCM as Thandi’s guard dog.

Demon Lover is a 2025 high school AU with a yokai flavoring over top of it. It was a bit inspired by Kamisama Kiss and Natsume’s Book of Friends.
Thandi discovers a cat in the Wood that turns out to be a demon boy bent on eating her. He agrees to make a contract to wait until she dies before eating her, letting her cultivate her power and live out the rest of her life. They end up falling for one another while in a contractor/pet relationship.
