  • Epilogue: Halloween

    Epilogue: Halloween

    The whole thing went down as planned. Almost to the letter.  People arrived. My dad gave me a hug and when he stepped away he both remembered and forgot who I was. It was odd watching the light of recognition fade. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. At least Alex never had…

  • Epilogue: Shaving

    Epilogue: Shaving

    I headed up stairs to get ready. I still planned on being Ted. It was still a costume party, we were just going to throw a wedding into the mix. A lot less planning Alex said. Alex was waiting for me in our room. He sat on the bed wearing a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt that simply said “404 Costume…

  • EPilogue: Impromtu Therapy

    EPilogue: Impromtu Therapy

    Two days before Alex’s birthday the entire family got their memories back. But everyone was under strict order to never mention that fact. The good thing was, that most of us already knew how to keep secrets and well the kids, they didn’t go to school with normal people. So our secret was safe – we hoped.…

  • Missing Kid

    Missing Kid

    Everyone was bounding around like chickens with their head cut off. Alex was walking past and I cracked open the wine he’d bought and poured a glass. When he rushed past again I held the wine glass out to him impeding his progress. He stopped and looked at me with a frown. “I’m sorry. We…” “I know. Doesn’t he have a watcher?” I…

  • Dinner Prep

    Dinner Prep

    I rummaged around in Alex’s kitchen and found it was pretty well stocked. Chicken thawed, vegetables in the crisper, and there was even a few high protein carbs that would work. Alex was buying a wine. I hoped a white as that was one of my go to dishes. But Alex’s fridge had a fine white already opened. The kids came back but…

  • Not So Perfect

    Not So Perfect

    We walked out hand in hand – me wearing Alex’s clothes. It was the first time I really got a good look at their place – my new place? Alex squeezed my hand and I looked at him, “Your place.” He smiled. It took a little bit to know he was in my head. Hunter came into the kitchen…

  • Proposal

    Proposal

    The water was getting cold or the air was cooling against my skin. Alex was lounging beneath me. I shifted and Alex groaned, “Don’t tell me you want another round?” I kissed his neck and shook my head, “No, I’m good. Just getting cold.” Alex shifted underneath me and sat up, “We should get out and get…

  • Nice Bathroom

    Nice Bathroom

    The shower didn’t go nearly as Alex planned. It didn’t go as I had planned either. Shower sex was always interesting, but Alex had other ideas, he had a huge bathtub. One long enough for both of us to stretch out nearly full length.  Alex had my shirt off before he pushed me up against…

  • Another Fight

    Another Fight

    I knocked on the door, but Hunter just opened it right up. He lived there after all. I guess it didn’t matter. He tugged me after him, “Da’s probably not home yet.” “Great.” That was just what I needed to be bitched at by a feisty young woman who was pregnant.  And as soon as I stepped foot over…

  • Thrift Shop

    Thrift Shop

    Hunter dragged me into a thrift shop around the corner. How he knew there was one was beyond me – he was five. I can’t imagine his dad would have brought him to a place like this. It was full of things people didn’t want and Alex didn’t look like the type to want things people had…

  • Costume Shops

    Costume Shops

    It was Halloween, and there were shops all over the place – just for the season. We started at one end of town and worked our way to the other looking for something that had a decent selection. This close to Halloween the pickings were slim and I didn’t much like what they had. So we moved on. We…

  • Hiding in Plain Sight

    Hiding in Plain Sight

    Vin walked us into the middle of a room I’d never been in. The whole room was shadowed in darkness. Hunter grinned brightly in the black light, “It’s protected from outsiders too. Not everyone can just walk in.” “That’s good to know.” I said, “Alex thinks of everything.” Hunter giggled, “Da, said no fucking way am I letting…

  • A Walk in the Park

    A Walk in the Park

    Sleep didn’t come. Coffe helped that. I was on my second pot by the time I gathered my things up and was heading out the door for a long day of drawing while I waited for Hunter. I didn’t live far from Central Park. But where Hunter lived was on the other side of the…

  • Hunter’s Dream

    Hunter’s Dream

    “That’s why you wouldn’t let me leave.” I said with a nod. I agreed easily to Alex and even more so to Hunter.  Alex took my hand and we were in nothingness. Well not nothingness there were lots of orbs of various colors. “Where are we?” “Erebus.” Alex said calmly, “It’s the place between dreams.” Alex pointed…

  • Not My Dream

    Not My Dream

    I wanted to go to bed immediately. But Alex had to get home first, and he probably wasn’t going to sleep right away either. For some reason I was pretty sure Alex wanted to keep me waiting. Leave me on the hook for a little longer, so that I wanted him more and more. I’d say he didn’t know how much I wanted…

  • The Long Way

    The Long Way

    I could have hopped a train. I could have started running. I could have done a lot of things, but I started walking home. The air was crisp – almost too cold without a jacket. I expect the vampire to follow me but when I looked behind me there was nothing but the empty street. Well not empty – regular people. People…

  • Five of Ten

    Five of Ten

    The fight started and I fell into what felt like an old habit. Like I’d been in a ring before, but yet I didn’t remember doing so. But it felt comfortable.  The big man with claws for fingers came at me and I easily dodged away from him, and as he passed behind me I brought a…

  • The Brawler

    The Brawler

    The address that Dom texted me was in Lower Manhattan specifically Tribecca. It was almost as far from my home as I could get. And it was a several hour walk, so I decided to take the train instead. It was dark by the time I stepped off the train and into the night air.…

  • Damsal in Distress

    Damsal in Distress

    Alex had his hands full and walking down the stairs was lonely. I had walked up with Hunter and had dinner with Alex – for the second time. I enjoyed my time here. It felt nice – but it was time to get back to my world. Which really wasn’t my world. It was Alex’s…

  • Dinner With Alex

    Dinner With Alex

    We sat down at a glass table and some wire chairs with bright cushions on them. It was rather comfortable. “That’s his kitchen isn’t it?” I asked. Alex nodded with a frown, “Yeah. But you liked it didn’t you?” I nodded, “Who wouldn’t?” He smiled but he didn’t say anything more. We ate in silence until I chuckled. Alex cocked an eyebrow at me,…

  • Alex’s Home

    Alex’s Home

    The first thing I did when I got out of the shower was check the message Alex had sent. A shower sounds good. Sure you don’t want to take one here. I was sure. Though it could be tempting. The sex had been good, but I was in love with him, and I knew it. Having…
