If you don’t see it here ask us about it.

Gay parings. 

PG-13 intimate content, language. (violence, action that sort of thing we’re fine with)

Length/ Rate/ Payments: 

Right now we are offering commission up to 5000 words in length. 

Rate: 5 USD per 1,000 words 

Full payment is to be paid before we start your commission, or half of payment  is to be paid before we start on your commission. 

What we need from you: 

Payment Method: Points or PayPal. Tell us if you want to pay in full or first 100 words before we start, and let us know if there is a certain price you want to keep it at. 

Genre(s): If needed

Story type: Who will it be about? Is it about one character in particular, or two? Please do not give us more than two characters as the main characters for your story. 

Plot ideas: Please provide as much detail as you like. The more detail the better. However, if you are unsure and just have a general idea but are happy with letting us play with it that's fine too. 

OC Characters info: Please give as much info about them as you can. If you have character references that would be great! The more information you give us about your character the better chance we will have of portraying your character as you imagine them to be. Tell us about their personality, if they have a certain mannerism, or way of speaking etc. But again providing a minimal idea so long as you are okay with us playing with it is fine too. 

Story setting: Is it set in the future, in space, back in the days of old that sort of thing. 

Point of View: First person (I ran down the alley) or Third person (He ran down the alley)? Who’s point of view is it? This is optional and if you'd like to leave it up to us that is just fine. 

Word count: This is optional but if you want to keep it a certain length or price let us know. Right now we are only offering up to 2000 words but if you think your story needs more length we can talk about it. 

The more detail you give us the better help it will be to understand what you want in the end. 

Of course, if all you'd like is a cool story featuring your OC and don’t want to worry about anything else, then just send us your characters bio, reference, and maybe a quick prompt (such as; I’d like him to be fighting bad guys and win in the end, or she’s having a bad day and he makes her feel better) and we can go from there. 

Here's an empty version for ya, to make it easier. 

Payment Method: 

Genre(s): 

Story Type: 

Plot ideas:

OC Character info:

Story setting: 

Point of view:

Word count: 

Process: 

Once everything is finalized and you’ve sent the payment we will get started on your story.

Please allow 1 to 3 weeks for us to finish your story. It may be sooner than that, but since we have curious lives we want to make sure we give ourselves enough time. 

Once the first draft is done, we will note you with a sta.sh link to read. In this draft, the plot and story are all being set into play. If you have any feedback or changes this is the time to tell us about them. Once we’ve made the changes and you have given the go ahead we will proceed. 

Once we finish we will contact you with the final word count so you can send the final payment (if you haven't already paid in full), than we will send you the final work in PDF format via sta.sh

Depending on how it’s going we may update you more than that. Of course you are welcome to request an update at any time. The final draft will not be released until the final payment has been sent if you didn't pay in full from the start. 

Refunds/ Edits:

If for some reason we can't complete your commission, you will be issued a full refund. If for some reason you decide to cancel your commission after seeing the first draft you will be refunded everything except the first 100 words. At this point, the commission will not continue. 

You are allowed one edit after you’ve received the final work free of charge granted there are no changes to the original outline. Any edits after that will cost an additional amount depending on what you need done. 

Commercial Work: At this time we do not offer commercial work. 

Terms of Services: 

All work is for personal use only. You may re-post where ever you like, but you must credit us as the writers. You may not sell or use for any kind of monitory gain unless otherwise discussed and/or agreed upon before we start your commission.

First Breath of the New Year

The final countdown had started. The end of a long year was the slightest breath of a heart beat away. Beside him, Maria stood with bright eyes looking up into the big endless sky. He smiled, but she didn’t see it; he didn’t need her too.   Large crowds had gathered below, deep in the city. Loud boisterous music blared into the thin, cold air up into the night. It was quieter, where the two stood, atop one of the high towers waiting for the first seconds of the new year to strike deep into their souls.   Fireworks would soon overtake the star filled sky and drown out the music even more. Eruptions of heart stopping sound waves would pin them both were they stood only moments after the old year ended.   He liked the fireworks, but he knew Maria would love them. That’s why he brought her here, to this far away city; known for putting on a good show. He couldn’t think of a single way to better spend his first breath of the new year than to see the smile that would surly spread across her slender lips. Or the sparkles that would overtake her arctic blue eyes at the sight of fire painting itself across the night sky.    His heart might even stop.    Gently, he slipped his hand around hers and squeezed, gaining her attention. She turned her head to him and looked down at their hands, unsure of his actions, then said in a quiet voice, “I suppose its okay.” Her red hair caught in the street light stretching just past the tower. It's dim hues illuminated her soft curls in the darkness, and the last breeze of the year, saying it's warm goodbye by flittering through her hair turned his sweet Maria into a beating flame, “But don’t make a habit of it.” She teased shyly.   “I’ll try not to.”   A loud roar cascaded through the streets at the first ring of the giant gong that stood proudly in the center of the city. Its fierce echoes pursued the entire city for everyone to hear.     The new year had begun.  Any moment flashing bolts of flames would split into the sky and shatter into a million pieces.   “Happy New Year, Bently!” Maria beamed up at him; her eyes holding a warmth she rarely showed to anyone other than him.   Letting go of her hand, he reached out and trailed his finger tips softly along her jaw until he came to settle his hand along the side of her face. He lightly stroked her right cheek with his thumb.    His eyes found hers.    The roars, and cheers for the new year were lost to him. Forgotten was the night, the stars, the fireworks. Forgotten was time itself.    Gates? Her uncertain thoughts flickered in his mind.    It was then that he noticed he had started to lean into her. Breathing out slowly, he thought better of his actions, not wanting to startle her. Instead, he held Maria still with his single touch and tilted his head to press his lips to her left temple. His chest flared with happiness when he felt her lean into him, even if it was just a little.    When he pulled away he smiled softly upon seeing the glint in her eyes, and the slight blush spreading across her gentle features.    Running his thumb over her cheek once more, he said in warm tone, “Happy New Year, Maria.”    The first of the fireworks set the sky alight. Despite her excitement for the fireworks, Maria stood frozen, her eyes gazing deep enough into his own to reach his soul.    His heart stopped, and his breath threatened to catch. The way her lips pulled into a smile, in the tenderest manner, set every light in his soul ablaze. No amount of fireworks could ever hope to grew as bright. The End.

Here’s to the New Year!

Hi Everyone! Scarlet and I hope you all have a great New Years Eve, and a spectacular New Years Day!! We’ve been busy with the holiday season. Haha, I hope you are all having a fantastic holiday! Scarlet and I had a great Christmas! There was an issue with the islands power going out, but that kind of made it fun. The entire mansion was full of candles, and the fire was constantly ablaze. Of course we have a generator, but we decided to let it stay off for a few ours and just enjoy. I can’t believe 2018 is almost over. It was a hard year, many challenges we had to face, but it was good character building   I look forward to 2019, a year I hope is full of adventures and curiosities with Scarlet by my side. Maybe a couple quiet weeks here and there just hanging out, doing nonsense. It would be fun to play some video games, maybe ride our horses across the dessert, the possibilities are endless. I can see so far past the horizon I can’t hardly contain myself! So here’s to the New Year, may it bring you all joy, and challenges were needed. But, most off all, may it be an adventure.

Never Once Met You

How then can I miss you, if never once I’ve met you? How then can I know you, if never once I’ve known you? Your thoughts I can hear, hush now and listen. Let me explain with frightful precision. From across this world, maybe even time, Our souls are endlessly seeking to intertwine. If ever they’ve touch, forever they’re bound, And never will they stop, their search to be found. That's how you miss me, you’re mistaken we’ve met. Not eye to eye, but in bitter sweet stress. That's how you know me, you’re mistaken you’ve known me. Though it’s been a long time, I know you’ll never let go of me. I can feel your frustration my soul knows you well, But I promise one day I’ll find you, and my heart will swell. So miss me even though you’ve never once seen me. Miss me so that one day you can take and keep me.                                                                      -Ninspire

14th of December, Case Closed.

Wow, it’s the middle of December already! It feels like we’ve missed the Christmas season; we've been so busy working the Switzerland case. Scarlet and I are so ready to be back at our Christmas paradise of a mansion. If you’re curious, Scarlet and I have been in Switzerland working a case since the beginning of the month. We just arrived back to our mansion today. The case was interesting, nothing dangerous, but interesting all the same. It all started when Scarlet received a call from a young man— I can’t give names— asking for her help. He was suspected of stealing a large sum of money from a wealthy family. He's been dating the daughter for the past year. When he called Scarlet he was already in custody and was feeling pretty hopeless. At first, the evidence did not seem in his favor. However, as we searched, tinny holes started popping up. It turned out that the mother of the daughter was to blame. She had been using the young man since the beginning and framed him for the theft. Her plan was to take the money and run away with some guy she met online. Apparently, she wanted to leave her husband because he was too much of a dead beat, and she didn’t care much for her daughter’s way of life, so I don’t know, I guess this other man was her dream? I can’t begin to understand the complicated nature of odd folk; I mean she hasn't even met him in person before. In any case, she did a good job at putting on a strong front with well acted lines. She definitely thought her plan through pretty well, for an amateur. Not to mention she worked mainly through hired hands she promised a generous portion of her stolen money too. Which made them highly motivated, and egger to please her. So much so that when they discovered Scarlet and I were following them, they threw us into an ice truck and hauled us away, hoping to dispose of us I'm sure. Obviously, it didn’t work or I wouldn’t be writing this. After we got away from the ice truck, we trekked back to our base camp, knowing they were on the watch. In an effort to save their own skin from being thrown into prison, they tried to use Scarlet as a hostage, a poor choice on their part. Ultimately they failed. All I can say about that is...never touch the charge of a Butler, lest you want a brutal beating :) Anyway, we turned them over to the authorities and after that it was easy to close the case. The head thug a brute of a fella with a clever eye, well not clever enough, confessed right away hoping to get a deal out of it. Of course, the mother denied the entire thing. A quick hack into her previously secret email, and the video surveillance from the small pub she met the mercenaries in proved otherwise and the evidence was indisputable. In the end, the young man who had contact Scarlet was released much to his girl’s relief, and the mother? Funny enough the husband didn’t press charges, in the spirit of Christmas he let her take half of what she stole and told her to be happy. Hum, sort of made me smile. She didn’t deserve any of it, but he loved her enough to let her go. In the end, the thugs payed the price. They should have picked a different job. It certainly wasn’t the most dangerous or even the most thrilling of cases, but the look the young man wore when he saw his girl again was worth it. I’m just glad we got it solved before Christmas.  Until next time, Scarlet and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.
