Rewarming

Retvik gasped for breath as he suddenly woke up in his bed, his head spinning and nausea in his throat. Something… something had happened. Retvik hadn’t gone to bed. It was 2pm. Far too early for bed. The memories slowly trickled back. It was his birthday party. He had friends round. Kuta was there. So … Read more

Phovos didn’t know what to expect as she knocked on the front door to the large, fancy villa. The only indication that she was in the right place was a single red balloon tied to the lamp post in front of the house, next to a red and gold Rethan bicycle. However, as the door … Read more

“Oh hey, you’re a cat again!” Kayel smiled as he let himself in, immediately took off all his clothes and threw them into the washing machine. Kayel blatantly didn’t care that he’d just stripped off in front of the God of Death, he was hot, sexy, young-ish and had been trying to sleep with the … Read more

“So, what the fuck are you doing here on Portalia?” Thassalin shifted awkwardly on his seat. He was a Thraki, he wasn’t used to sitting on chairs. At least, not Temthan chairs. While Temthans did vary greatly in height and size, they were all upright beings and they all had long lizard tails, so their … Read more

Nyssi had planned to go to the Torn Islet on her own, to check in with her cousins and help them move into new accommodation, but since Retvik didn’t have any plans and had been pacing around being anxious, she’d decided to bring him with her. Not only did Retvik need some distractions, but he’d … Read more

“How much is your rent?” Kayel had admittedly forgotten that he’d let the God of Decay stay in his apartment. But to be fair, Arkay had been the perfect room mate. Apart from the pillow and the light blanket on the sofa, one wouldn’t have known Arkay was there. He spent most of his time … Read more

“Hey! You came back already!” Kayel was grinning as he opened the door to his apartment, but that grin very quickly faded as he realized that Arkay had fabric wrapped around his neck and wrists. “Uh… are you well?” “No… can I come in?” Kayel nodded and led Arkay in, gently closing the door behind … Read more

“Well, piss.” Arkay’s shoulders dropped as he realized that the coffee shop he had brought Kayel to was closed. And had been closed for a good couple of months. “So, uh, was there a reason why you brought me here?” Kayel asked. “Yeah. I found this place when I was looking for an apartment to … Read more

The knock on the door did admittedly make Kayel jump, but it was the muttering he could hear that bothered him more. A defeated sigh and the repeated words of “I shouldn’t be here” and “why am I doing this?” were enough to force Kayel out of bed and see what was going on. It … Read more

“Hey! You came back!” Kayel beamed as he opened the front door to his tiny apartment. Arkadin, the Thantophor and god of death, glanced around awkwardly. “Uh, yeah, I guess I did.” Kayel dragged Arkadin inside, then closed the door behind him, before gently forcing Arkadin onto the sofa. Kayel then playfully patted Arkadin on … Read more

“I find it so weird that a collective species shut down most of the city last week and the same thing is kinda happening this week…” Tenuk tutted as he sat on the sofa, browsing on his tablet, swishing his fluffy tail back and forth. “It’s been weird that Nyssi’s been doing nothing but beast … Read more

All things considered, the last hour or so was… genuinely nice. Arkadin didn’t want to admit that he was enjoying both not working and spending time with a cute Skyavok, but, well, he was. He hadn’t stopped working since the 29th, he hadn’t stopped at all, not even to eat or sleep, and he had … Read more

Arkadin rubbed his head as consciousness returned to him. That was the first time he had been unconscious since he’d been reset and gone back to his cold, lonely duties, and he was certain he’d been attacked. However, as the world around him began to focus, Arkadin realized something was very, very wrong. He was … Read more
