What’s Your Name?
Blue eyes didn’t turn around as he shouted his response. “Didn’t I hear it was your birthday? I should be the one buying you a drink.” The music got louder as we both headed to the bar. There were no stools on this side of the bar, standing room only and we both pressed into…

Decision: Flit or Aspect?
Aspect and Flit were across the street from each other and I usually had an easy decision based on what I had in mind for the night. My plans were shot to hell so now I had to decide, did I go to Flit to dance or did I go to Aspect because it was…

The Last Phoenix started
Yesterday the Prologue started for the Last Phoenix. I’ll be posting along in three other places. if you have accounts I’d appreciate a little love on those platforms. If you didn’t mind hoping over and doing whatever it is they do for their likes etc. But if you don’t have an account don’t worry about…

Meeting Up with Friends
It was an annual tradition since I was 16. Me, Sage and Mia would all go dance the night away the Friday before my birthday. We’d chosen the hottest club back in the day and it really hadn’t changed much in those 9 years. I missed two birthdays with them and I tried not to…

A Day In the Life…
My heart was pounding through my heaving chest as my eyes popped up at precisely 3:58AM as it did every morning. Ophelia lay on my chest and opened a single yellow cat eye to peer at me before she gave a disgruntled meow as I sat up. “I don’t know why you insist on laying…

Therapy
School is about to start for Laker and Rider. And Nick and Henry. They hit it off, and were still together two months in. Nick still hadn’t told Henry what he was. I’m not sure I could manage to hide it from my boyfriend for long. Stamina was one thing, but the strength, something else.…

Place In This World
I don’t usually play the picture card with AJ, but this week’s prompt was all about your place in this world. I love New York City. It’s my home. AJ loves it for the business. She loves it for the rich and diverse culture. She loves that it’s high tech, website driven and that it’s…

Comfortably Numb
Ant took me to the Night Life building. All the way to the second to the top floor. He opened one of the apartments up that wasn’t locked and it wasn’t really an apartment it was a gym of sorts. There were no weights, more a dojo maybe. In the middle of the mat was…

Favorite Places
Once upon a time I used to think my favorite places were the mountains filled with forests and springs and fallen rocks. But I think somewhere along the lines my favorite place turned out to be my dreams. A scary little room filled with things that made me afraid, yet they were the safest place…

Vampire Den
The pull of the power outside had me walking down the street away from the party. Alone and in the dark. I felt like I was finally free – I didn’t have to put on airs that I was some happy-go-lucky guy with an open heart. I could be the empty shell I felt like.…

English is stupid – take 2
My first impression when I saw todays prompt was oh yeah, I’m a rebel. And then I was thinking about what I rebel against. And AJ had to go look up the word to make sure they were the same word. You are a /ˈrebəl/ but you /reˈbəl/ . Like really? The same word with…

Going Out
When everyone else was leaving i caught up with Nick. “Hey. You still want to go out and hook up with guys.” Nick grinned, “Wing men?” I shrugged. “Maybe. I met a guy on the plane flying out to Colorado. I told him when I was home again I’d call him see if he wanted…

The Best Medicine
Laughter is the supposed to be the best medicine. Though I’m not exactly sure what for – sadness definitely but not always. AJ firmly believes a good cry can do wonders to pick you up. But AJ is a sap! She cries at commercials! Or so that’s the running joke in her house. Sadly her…

Engagement
I sat there for a long time. Probably too long with family and friends out in the dining room waiting on me. Long enough that there was a knock on the door and I looked up and saw a pair of blue eyes staring back at me and I lost it. Sage was kneeling in…

Thrill Seeker
When I was younger I was a thrill seeker. I was too young to go on white water rapid trips or skydiving. But I did jump from the heights of the AU building up until the point that I had a tiny cat who relied on my existence to survive. And two brothers who I…

Belated Birthday Dinner
I woke on the couch bloodied and beaten but the boys were still curled up around me. I was hesitant to move as I wrapped the elements around me. The feeling nearly made me nauseous. But at least it wouldn’t scar. Not that it mattered, I had more than enough scars from a lifetime of…
-
Birthday Visitors
I got a phone call, it was half past six by my account and I answered the phone. “What?” I knew I sounded grumpy but I didn’t want to talk to anyone. I wanted to get wasted, and high but I kept myself locked in my room instead. I wanted to see him so badly…
-
Showing Off
I could flaunt AJ’s Patreon page again. But I think I’ll do something more. May 14th The Last Phoenix rewrite starts! That’s 7 days away. That’s 7 days left of the First Hunt. 7 days until my loyal readers get thrown back into my life. For all you new ones, hey you get to experience…

Crash and Burn
I was going frantic again the next morning when there was knocking – no pounding on my door. Everyone wanted to know what I did. So I spend more and more time explaining. Neglecting myself. Missing every alarm on my phone. And the more and more that I missed the worse things got. I hadn’t…
-
Family Matters
Iris gave me the details that she new. The biggest worry was they were pretty sure Kai had been bitten by a vampire. I rushed up but not before I was calling Sage. Hacker boy wouldn’t pick up the goddamn phone. He was probably getting busy with his girlfriend before going out. Or already at…
-
Getting Ready
I woke with Ophelia curled on my chest and a major mess to clean up. It was rare that the dreams left me spent, but I’d been holding back for far too long for two weeks. And it had been worth it. My dream guy made my day, whatever he’d done, or was doing kept…
