about the author.

I'm Aster Holloway, non-binary author of dark romance + erotica. If you want to know a bit more, I'm non-binary (they/them), I'm in college as a pre-nursing student, and I'm bi + aroace. I'm also disabled — I have chronic pain, anxiety, as well as being audhd.

Most of my writing will probably be short stories, at least to start — though I might go as long as a novelette or novella. I will likely begin working on novel-length fiction in the future, but I make no promises as to when that might be.

This blog, and most of my writing, is for adults only. If you're under 18 or your local age of consent, please do not follow or interact.

MUZZLED; A hunter, a vampire, and a question — can a monster be saved? Can he be redeemed? And if not, can he at least be tamed?

UNTITLED; Fallen from his place the top of the world, a superhero-turned-villain faces his new nemesis — his former sidekick — as he seeks to regain the power that was stolen from him.

UNTITLED; Every time the mech pilots are hooked up to their machines for a mission, something is taken from them. A little bit of rationality, little bit of humanity, until nothing but instinct is left.

"if you forgot then it obviously wasn't important to you" is an ableist thing to say and i'm tired of pretending it's not

[alliezweihander]

I've forgotten *my own birthday* before. There are several years of my life just straight up missing. In the past I've forgotten silly little frivolous things like NAMES OF LOVED ONES or WHERE MY HOUSE IS. But obviously none of that was important. Fucking awful, ableist thing to say.

“It's the most passion that you have without sex,” says Clemons. “Two androgynous beings becoming one. It's love. It's two men—two strong, very virile men—finding that space in life where they can let go enough of their masculinity to feel the passion of love and respect and trust. Friendships are based on those things, and you seal it with a kiss.”

absolutely love abusing the power that comes with 3rd person limited pov and just ignoring things and being vague sometimes. does the character know all the details? no? then I don't have to either.

reblog if you love chubby/fat trans men. I’m doing research,,,

[caintooth]

you have to love trans women more than you hate transmisogyny, you have to love jews more than you hate antisemitism, you have to love Black people more than you hate white supremacy, you have to love Indigenous people more than you hate colonialism, you have to love the disabled and mentally ill more than you hate ableism, you have to love. you have to love.

Recently read an evil and fucked up story about evil and fucked up people doing evil and fucked up stuff and I glanced at the reviews and so many of them were negative reviews saying "this is evil and fucked up >:(" and I'm like. Why are you here.

the problem with parents is that they are undiagnosed

it's actually so funny that all you need to do as a female athlete to be immediately disqualified is being good, because everyone knows women suck ass at everything and if a woman is good at something that's unnatural. hashtag feminism hashtag protect women.

"bottom" please consider 🫵 whether the word you are looking for is in fact "submissive" ! because if we decide that taking dick means your personality & character r inherently subservient 😃 we might as well just throw in the towel on the most basic premise of feminism & 🔫 kill ourselves 🎉
