[Image Description: an anthro cat with reddish fur and wearing a ragged blue tshirt and ragged grey shorts is attacking a white teen girl whose hair colour matches his fur. She’s wearing a pink hoodie, blue jeans, and hiking boots, and is holding him off with a yellow shield that is made of musical notes. The background is a forest on fire, with white smoke is obscuring some of the trees. End Description]

This piece is Hunter’s Demon, and shows Skilkran when he’s first... forged, I supposed would be the word? He’s a feral mage who got bonded to his familiar too fast for either of them to have barriers in place yet, so... demon!

That’s him the catboy, having just set the forest on fire, and attacking Asin, who’s his younger sister

Happy Storyteller Saturday! Your characters found out that the anonymous commentator on their secret poetry blog is none other than their older (or younger) sibling. And they have no idea that the stuff they enjoy so much and are literally fangirling over is made by their sibling because your character writes with an alias. What do they do ?

hey, happy STS!

 This is such a delightful scenario and my first thought is now I want to write this but I’m tired so it’s not happening just now haha

 Assuming Asin is the one writing it and Merrok finds her blog, there is...

 Asin panics like there’s no tomorrow and actually stops uploading stuff for a while bc it’s personal and what if Merrok works it out, she thinks she’d actually die. But then Merrok’s comments are so kind and a little bit worried bc she’s never missed a day uploading yet and something must be going wrong and he’d like to help, if he can... and Asin spends a day straight up hiding as she goes through the backlog of her blog to make sure nothing there could give her away, and eventually decides if he hasn’t got it now, then he’s not gonna, but... she’s more careful about making sure that there’s no hint to her actual life ‘n’ goings on

 Skilkran works it out later, once they’re on ok terms again, but doesn’t bring it up bc he doesn’t want her to stop because it reminds him of before everything went to shit and it’s a comfort

”So we’ve got a ghost.” Ice nodded. That made some sort of sense. She’d been aware of something. “Asin, your home’s haunted,” she aid over her shoulder, light and cheery. “Better call the Ghostbusters.”

Skilkran snorted. “That’s unnecessary.”

”What’s your suggestion, burn it out?” Asin snorted. “It works as a bookend.”

Skilkran twitched his lips, drawing his teeth out in a snarl.

”Children,” Ice sang, pulling their attention. “If not the Ghostbusters, who you gonna call?”

This is a super serious present I’m writing my friend about estranged siblings and clearing out a dead parent’s house.
