Getting into an Ivy League school is a dream that thousands of American students nurse from a young age. Luckily for you, that dream is your reality. Four years of continuous hard work and pressure have made you a proud freshman at Yale University. And as if that wasn’t enough, you have been handpicked to attend Rathore College, whose selection process is revered across all the nation’s top educational institutions. But you should’ve known this stroke of luck came with a catch.
Yale is a crucible of power, where secret societies wield arcane magic and the dead are far from silent. The illustrious House of Styx wants you and this is a situation that not even your money can get you out of.
They are powerful, elite, and most of all, controlling beyond recognition. They are also the heart of the eight secret societies that attach themselves to Yale. From the White House to Hollywood’s most acclaimed stars, their influence reaches farther than anyone can dare to imagine.
A sinister conspiracy brews under Styx’s watchful gaze, one that threatens to unravel the fragile balance between the living and the dead. But in a graveyard of secrets, you and your accomplices are the ones with the shovels. You’re now in a world where the past is never truly dead, and the lines between life and death blur with each passing day.
But some secrets are better left buried, and some prophecies are destined to drag you to hell.
As the heir to the Lacroix fortune, C is every bit as arrogant as their bloodline demands them to be. Even after the messy divorce of their parents which further led to their disownment by their father, Alain Lacroix, they refuse to give up on their dignity. They’ve vowed to destroy him one day and take what’s rightful theirs, brick by brick. The world bent to C’s whims, what money couldn't buy them, those pale green eyes probably did.
There is nothing that they can’t have, especially if they set their mind to that. That is until you came along and stayed one step ahead of them every time in everything that mattered. It wasn’t just the fortune or the legacy at stake; it was the bruising of their pride, the constant reminder that someone—anyone—could outmaneuver them. But beneath the layers of resentment and anger, there’s something more—something darker, even more dangerous.
An obsession takes root, one that blurs the line between hatred and fascination. And they vow to spend their whole life despising you for everything.
Romance trope: Enemies / Academic Rivals to Lovers.
Raised under the oppressive influence of a rigid, fire-and-brimstone faith in a Danish Catholic orphanage, they were taught to see demons in every shadow and sin in every touch. Forever haunted by the visions provided by a wrathful God they can neither fully grasp their mind around nor escape from, their only reprieve came on the day they got adopted at the age of six and diagnosed with schizophrenia. But the truth of their ‘psychosis’ may be far more sinister than any medical diagnosis could account for.
As the tides become even stormier and their medications become ineffective when they arrive at Yale, all V can do is hold on to the last threads of control over their lives. Your first meeting almost makes them teeter over the edge.
Now that they’re your roommate, they’re bound to you by fate or folly, but whether they’ll be a stable ally remains to be seen.
Romance trope: Roommate Romance.
Wilhelm Johann Ostendorf / Wilhelmine Johanna Ostendorf (M/F)
Exhausted. Abandoned. Lost.
What does the world think of you when you’re a product of brilliance and neglect at the same time? With an Oscar-winning filmmaker for a father and a mother ensconced on the American board of directors at the Louvre, their pedigree is undeniable, yet it is a legacy more hollow than it appears. While their parents sculpted their careers into masterpieces and amassed accolades, they left W to be raised by their paternal aunt and uncle. A sizeable trust fund and periodic checks served as their parents’ only gestures of care, a shallow substitute for the love and attention their only child so desperately craved.
The only times they had felt more than someone who was deeply unlovable were the summers you spent on rusty swingsets and fast bicycles with training wheels. But the swingsets have long been dismantled, and the bicycles have been traded for cars.
The only questions remain—are you the same kid who saw them, really saw them, beyond the reality of being unwanted and the suffocating looks filled with pity that came with their name? Or will this reunion only serve to confirm their deepest fear—that they are, and always have been, truly alone?
Romance trope: Forgotten Childhood Friends to Lovers.
Dumitru Constantin Diaconu / Dumitra Constantina Diaconu (M/F)
Charismatic. Reckless. Guarded.
D’s name is the one that comes up in almost every conversation about Yale’s wildest parties. A natural-born rockstar charmer with a magnetic presence, they effortlessly draw people into their orbit, collecting hearts and bodies with the ease of someone who’s always been in the center of the gold rush. Despite the countless admirers and the trail of broken hearts left in their wake, you’ll always find them with a Marlboro between their lips and a new person in their arms to warm their bed at night. Their smile is a promise, and their laughter a siren call. In the haze of flashing lights and the thrum of bass that pulses through the walls, they are a heartbreaker in every sense of the word.
Feelings are a complication they don’t allow, a line they never cross. They’ve perfected the art of detachment, of keeping their connections strictly no-strings, because to let someone in would be to risk the vulnerability they’ve long since sworn off.
Will you be the only person they'd let peel back the barbed wire surrounding their heart? Or will you be left with nothing but the faint scent of cinnamon and a tale that wasn't meant to be?
Romance trope: Friends with Benefits / Sex First, Feelings Later. [You will only be able to unlock their romance route through a hookup.]
Maxwell Edmund Whitlock-Singh / Maxine Edythe Whitlock-Singh (M/F)
Duty-bound. Noble. Untouchable.
Politeness and decorum are second nature to M. They are the embodiment of manners, a living testament to the art of subtlety in a world where spectacle often trumps substance. They are the sort of person who commands attention without seeking it, a product of both royal blood and rigorous self-discipline. Dubbed the “Paragon of Styx,” M is a modern Plato, someone who finds as much solace in philosophical debates as in the classical texts they’ve devoured in multiple languages. As the second-born child of the Crown Princess of Wales, they have always understood that their life would be one of service with every action scrutinized, and every word weighed.
Their intellect is vast, but it is their passion for the esoteric that sets them apart. For all their convictions, there is a restlessness within M that even they cannot fully articulate. It is the paradox of their existence—a life of privilege that feels at times like a gilded cage, a role that demands both reverence and obedience. Indeed, heavy is the head that wears the crown.
Will you make them realize that life is more than duties and expectations? Or will you become yet another figure in the background, another reminder of the golden cage they were born into?
Romance trope: Forbidden Royal Romance / Secret Relationship.

“I'll tear this world apart just to keep you safe, Mi Sol. Without you there would be no me. I would never cause you pain nor suffering. Whatever your heart desires, I'll give it to you. So please don't leave me on my own ever again..."
He’s just a stranger you’ve never met, but you can’t help but have that sense of bittersweet nostalgia whenever you are with him. His eyes are cold rubies that have you as it’s focused. He is not a cold ruthless man whenever he is with you, for you; he will pull the stars and set seas apart if you so wish for it. He seems to know more about you than you know yourself.
gender-selectable
“No one would dare to go against the Montholon family. I’m the only one that you can belong to, nobody would dare to marry you. Even if you beg my Imperial father for a decree to be the master of your own marriage. There's no escape. You belong to me!”
An arrogant and selfish prince/princess who believes the world is in the palm of their hands, they are the protagonist of story, and your former betrothed. Even years of devotion, but your love alone had not been enough for them to throw you away so easily. Will you take your revenge for their betrayal or will you find yourself once again a victim to their golden-brown eyes?
gender-selectable
”Whenever I see you, my heart accelerates at an alarming rate. This feeling is very foreign to me. But I like it very much.... after losing my parents I never thought I would one day find someone I could lean on in my time of need.... someone I can call home.... this feeling will probably be my weakness but I don't care. Will you always look at me?”
There is always a villain in every story, and here are they. Family framed and massacred by the Montholon family, their feelings go way beyond than hatred and rage. They are your friend, blinded by love you failed to see the true nature of your former betrothed, not listening to their warning of genuine concern for you, they had broken their ties with you. Will you once again reconnect the friendship you once shared or will you become more than what you had?
male
“I've yearned day and night just to hold you in my arms... to feel the warmth of your breath on my skin. Your beating heart pulsating beneath my fingers.... I can't bare the thought of not being close to you...."
A strict instructor of Geldir Academy, no one knows where he comes from but you are what his bright green gaze lies on. Alienated and cold towards everyone, but towards you he's as gentle as a spring breeze. Shrouded in mystery, you never knew him other from his formal position as an educator, yet he calls out your name so intimately.

~ Welcome to Ahnwyn, where Gods walk amongst men ~

Save your father : His life is in your hands
[ PROLOGUE ] - Added June 22, 2025
FEATURING
The Warden Aka Stonewall : A beast of a man who wields a great axe almost as large as he is. The Warden, Stonewall, the man who protects the city of Ogden's Rise, your father.
° You stare up at the giant of a man, tall and broad like a god's tree. Thick bands of brown cover his tiger's eye skin and red stained fingertips rest heavily on your shoulder. Kind chestnut eyes rest under a brow that's heavy even when he's amused. And the ginger beard covering his chin moves as he smiles.
Torren, the Priest : Gentle eyes and hands rest upon a body whose soul is filled with spite and rage. Torren, priest of Solara, Healer, a man sweet to his loved ones and cold to everyone else, your father.
° A laugh like bells fills the room, Torren's hand reaching up to cover his mouth in an attempt to stop himself. Lavender eyes full of mirth open back up to stare at you, his Indigo skin shining under the sunlight. He reaches up, tucking a strand of Lavender hair behind his pointed ear, still laughing lightly.
Lucian, the happy finder : A loud laugh and bright eyes track your every move. Lucian, finder of people, lover of explosives, your best friend. [ mc canonically was best friends with Lucian growing up ]
° Loud is the only word to describe Lucian. Loud laughter rings through the courtyard as they grab the old woman's hands, their tawny skin standing striking against her ice blue. They jauntily spin her around in a circle, their honey blonde curls repeatedly falling into their green and blue eyes.
Huntress, the woman in the woods : Cold eyes meet your gaze, a notched arrow pointing at something rustling behind you. Huntress, keeper of the woods, Eletherin's chosen, your future partner [ mercenary or finder mc's will already know Huntress ]
° You stay out of her way. Jet Black brows furrowed as she walks across the clearing, hazel eyes scanning for something you can't see. She turns around suddenly, her olive hands resting on her hips as she regards you intently, permanent frown etched onto her face.
Elwyn, the information dealer : A smugly charismatic smile rests upon their face, the crowd of admirers swooning as they wave. Elwyn, the favored son, weaver prodigy, your future partner [ weaver mc's will already know Elwyn ]
° They chuckle, white eyes twinkling mischievously as you two stare at the latest suitor. You watch as they lean forward, shirt carefully falling to the side revealing an ice blue shoulder and chest to the air, white nails tap, tap, tapping on the table. The long white strands of their hair pool around them, and like usual, the elf looks almost otherworldly.
Caryden, the newcomer : Scarred hands grip the hilt of a bloodied sword, tattered cloak falling off their frame. Caryden, the escapee, the newcomer, the one who'll change everything.
° You force yourself to look down at the stranger, a multitude a white scars etching across his obsidian skin. He shifts, intense violet eyes locking onto you, and you know at once this man is dangerous. Even with the sickly sheen to his face, blue and black hair strands plastered to his forehead, his body trying to fight off whatever infection it has.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION

In a world where magic is law and power is everything, A thin line between desires invites you into a sinfully beautiful, emotionally charged, wickedly dark and traumatic interactive tale set within Aequrion, a realm that had been split a long time ago into the Mortal and Undying Lands, humans and kindred. Embark on a fast-burn, high-stakes journey of trauma, power, and the thin, blistering line between love and survival. Every decision matters. Every scar tells a story. And the deepest monsters may not be the ones wearing claws.
You play as a human woman with no memories, brought into a world of magic and monstrous beauty — used as a pawn, stolen from the arms of one High Lord by another as prophecies and blessings push you deeper into the fray.
What began as a dream of love and freedom shattered into nearly a decade of decadence, survival, pain, degradation and despair. Once cherished in the wild Forest Court, now kept as a twisted trophy in Regina’s brutal dominion beneath the mountains of the Sun Court.
But even in darkness, desire burns.
Even in chains, your mind remains your own. Mostly.
Reclaim your voice.
Uncover buried truths.
Shape the fate of the realm with every decision.
Will you seek vengeance? Love? Freedom?
Or will you become something else entirely?
Warning: This dark romantasy contains mature themes, emotional intensity, and morally complex characters. Choose carefully. Not every path leads to salvation. Some sexual content is not optional and VERY non-con, in the beginning as the MC is captive (full fairy revel madness).
The romance is not optional, you will have to choose a ✨mate✨ at one point.
This is a WIP and things are subjected to change.
Theme: HEAVILY inspired by ACOTAR (this was initially a Tamlin redemption fanfic that spiraled out of control ) With sprinkles of WoT and Stormlight Archive.
Your story is one of choices, of pain and power, of twisted affections and fragile alliances. Who can be trusted in a world where pleasure is weaponized and loyalty is a mask? Who are you when survival turns to something more?
-> MC is gender-locked as female, but every other aspect is customizable (the usual skin and eye color, hair color, texture, length, etc.).
-> Choose a body type from Slender, Curvy, Toned.
-> Options for body image and a favorite feature characters will comment on.
-> Play as one of 4 female archetypes: The Maiden, The Enchantress, The Nurturer, The Wise. These will not lock you out of anything, just give a general idea of how your character usually thinks.
-> Choose from 3 Backgrounds for your past, noting that the amnesia will never go away:
1 betrayed spy
2 escaped cultist
3 "Modern girl falls in a fantasy world" - this one will have mc as an entirely new character into the world with no secret ties to anything. It’s all up to you to canon.
-> Survive a scorned rejected female on a warpath, forge alliances, escape your first assassination, bond a dragon, live through a war, forge a Fellowship and journey on a mission to save the world or break it.
Not all love stories end the same — some are about mending, some about letting go, and some about remaking the world.
🍃 Kael’thalas - High Lord of the Forest Court - The Wild Sovereign - The Last Ael’thari
The High Lord of the Forest Court is the embodiment of untamed nature and quiet strength. Towering and broad-shouldered, his body is carved from muscle, like an ancient statue grown from the earth itself. His skin is sun-kissed, and his long, almost-white blonde hair falls in silken waves down his back, often tangled by wind and wildflowers alike. Beneath heavy brows, his emerald green eyes shine with a soul-deep warmth—piercing, yes, but never cold.
There’s a primal grace to him, like a great beast at rest, power held in patient reserve. Tattoos or markings snake down one arm, looking like roots or vines grown into his skin, echoing his bond with the forest. Though he looks wild, there’s a gentleness in the way he moves, in the way his gaze lingers—protective, steady, and deeply in tune with the world around him. A quiet force of nature cloaked in silence and strength, the very air shifting around him… and the first face you see when you awaken.
Tropes: Found family, friends to lovers, Star-crossed lovers?, option for him to be just a brotherly figure.
🌙 Azrien - High Lord of the Moon Court - The Fallen Star - The Moonkindler.
The High Lord of the Moon Court is a vision born of midnight and magic. His skin is twilight, velvety lilac to deep blues, scattered with constellations that shimmer and shift as if the night sky itself had been woven into his flesh. Each movement catches the light of invisible stars, casting soft glows that dance like stardust. His long, silvery-white hair flows around him like lunar mist, wild and otherworldly. It floats with a weightlessness that defies gravity, haloing a face both sharp and regal. His silver eyes glow like twin moons, unreadable and eternal, always watching with a calm that borders on eerie. There’s an elegant stillness about him, a silence that commands reverence.
Adorned in regal black and cosmic violet, inked with celestial patterns across his chest and shoulders, he is timeless—a being shaped by both shadow and starlight… and your kidnapper, the one responsible for your decade of misery and despair.
Tropes: Arranged marriage, the most enemies to lovers, with a dash some kind of shared Stockholm syndrome for sure :)), Star-crossed lovers?
☀️ Solren - High Lord of the Sun Court - The Gilded Flame - The Sun's Judgement -> I am weak, I might turn him into some kind of twisted Sunwalker vampire
The High Lord of the Sun Court stands as a vision of elemental fire and divine authority. His skin is bronzed and radiant, glowing faintly with the burnished warmth of eternal sunlight. Golden tattoos arc across his chest and neck like ancient runes, pulsing softly with power. Long, fiery red hair falls in wild waves or perhaps a loose braid, a cascade of molten flame framing a face carved with impossible beauty—sharp cheekbones, full lips, and glowing amber eyes that burn like twin suns.
There’s a dangerous allure to his gaze, something both regal and ruthless, and the faint smirk tugging at his mouth speaks of a male who knows both power and how to wield it. But why has such a creature turned his eyes on you?
Tropes: Oh man… manipulation? enemies-ish to lovers.
🔥 Orin - Heir of the Sun Court - The Second Sun - The Tempered Spark
The Sun Court Heir is a prince draped in gold but shadowed by doubt. Though he sits in silks of cobalt and sun-burnished bronze, his presence is tempered by the ache of never being quite enough. A second son, a “spare”, only heir due to his runaway sister, he bears only one undeniable inheritance from his father—their burning, golden eyes, bright and watchful like the desert sun at its zenith.
His features are sharp with restraint, noble yet guarded, a face that learned too young how to mask longing with indifference. His skin is a rich, warm bronze—sun-kissed and dark, like polished mahogany brushed with gold. It glows under the light, a quiet defiance. His sharp cheekbones and long, narrow face give him a regal, almost ethereal look, made all the more intense by the golden eyes that smolder from beneath his dark lashes. His dark, unruly hair falls around him like a storm held at bay, often half-shadowing the glint of his gaze. Around his neck, gold rests heavy—symbols of a court that praises brilliance but rarely kindness.
He is not cruel, only carved from years of being overlooked. Beneath the gold, beneath the practiced poise, is a longing to be seen—for who he is, not who he failed to be. And in his rare, quiet moments, when no one is looking, he turns his golden eyes toward you.
Tropes: a bit of a corruption arc? Manipulation turned obsession?
🎭 Wits - Fellow enslave merman - The Harrowed Fool - The Broken Song
The Jester, known to most as simply Wits, is a figure of both mystery and sorrow — a mad, ancient being bound in silence. His once-haunting voice, said to have been able to tame storms and lure ships to ruin, is long gone. Around his throat lies a heavy iron chain, its weight both physical and symbolic. Beneath it festers an old, unhealed wound, raw and angry, like a cursed reminder of what he once was.
His eyes are the color of the open sea—deep, fathomless, and glimmering with a thousand unspoken tragedies. His hair falls in wet, tangled strands, sometimes adorned with bits of shell or seaweed, like he never quite left the ocean behind. Though his madness often masks it, there is a keen intelligence in his gaze, something sharp and old and watching.
Despite his wild, erratic laughter and eerie presence in Regina’s court, he moves with a fluid grace that betrays his aquatic origins. His smile rarely reaches his eyes. When he dances or mocks, there is always a shadow of pain lingering beneath the performance—a melody unsung, a scream forever trapped behind sealed lips.
Tropes: hmmm yes… spoilers… too big… the spoilers! but still in the realm of fated love.
⚔️ Rhevan - The human King - The Bloodbound King - Oathbreaker.
The Human King is is a legend carved in blood and fire.
His eyes, a rich, earth-dark brown, are deep and steady like tilled soil after rain—patient, knowing, scarred by what they’ve seen. There’s weight in them, the kind that comes not from age, but from choice. He does not flinch from violence, but neither does he revel in it. He carries the cost of his crown behind those eyes.
His body is carved by survival—tall and powerful, yet weathered, with a strength born of necessity, not ornament. His skin is a rich, sun-darkened bronze, marred by old scars and the occasional fresh wound that he wears like history etched in flesh. There’s a brutal honesty to him, as though he would rather be feared than adored—and yet he is loved for that very reason. His hair is a tousled crown deep brown, falling in wild curls that catch the light like dark copper leaves. His jaw is strong, his cheekbones high, and his smile—when it comes as he turns towards you in a dream —is both fierce and unburdened, the kind that feels like summer after a long winter.
Tropes: kinda enemies to something more, loyalty, betrayal, angst, the usual
The routes are somewhat (loosely) paired thematically in groups of 2, but you will not be locked out of anything until the final mate bond… somewhere towards the middle of the game.
Fate vs. Free Will - Kael & Az
Power vs. Compassion - Sol & Orin
Mortality vs. Divinity - Wits & Rev

Dashingdon is horribly outdated and will be shutting down very soon, at the end of January 2025. This means all of the games and accounts will be permanently deleted as well. The dashingdon link itself will be redirected to cogdemos, but all data on the dashingdon site will be deleted.
Every one of the old inactive WIPs will be permanently gone if the authors don't save them.
Please reblog this or any other post about these news and if you know inactive authors, please try to reach them and let them know about what's going on. There is not much time left, so help the community out! ❤️
Here is the forum post from the owner dashingdon himself if you want to read it.
Demo overhauled. Major updates are listed there. Talbot's route is added through Chapter 9. There are two versions, one of which is...niche when it comes to triggering. For a walkthrough to set yourself on the path, please see the drop down.
Otherwise, I cannot stress enough how important it is to save frequently while reading.
Thanks, guys. Be back in two years soon.
Talbot Rival Route Guide:
This hinges on your interactions with Tal in Chapter 7.
Essentials:
By the last half of Chapter 7, you must either have A) a relationship of 20+ AND romance score of at least 4 or B) have a relationship score of less than 15
Do NOT accuse Talbot of taking the book when encountering them at the library in Chapter 7.
Choose "Talbot" when your phone rings afterward.
You MUST select the rude option when greeting them ("Then I won't bother.")
Whichever version you get, let Tal take your hand and play their little game.
If I've coded and tested this right, then that should leave you with two ways this plays out, but both will trigger the same variable.
To further lock in the Rival Route, you must:
6. Go "Right" when prompted in Chapter 8 (if you talk Asher down, you will lose the opportunity to make this choice)
7. Agree to help Talbot in the car.
I've tried to take into consideration that people may be pursuing something with Staci or Quinn in the route, but to really see that play out to its juiciest, I suggest keeping your relationship (both platonic and romantic) as low as you can with Talbot at least through Chapter 8.
Swapped is finally here! I announced the game on the last day of May, and here I am on the last day of November 😂
The demo, which includes the entire first episode (aka the Pilot) is currently over 17k words—this doesn’t include the Diary sections.
As for what it entails, I guess you’ll just have to find out when you read it. However, I do want to note that there will be a usage of a previous name, which means that while everyone will use the name you choose, there’s an option to have a previous one (without typing it out) for flavor text. You will see what I mean when you play, but it may be sensitive for some of you and I wanted to give a heads up beforehand!
I know a lot of people have been wondering about this demo and so I’m sorry for the delay! Going through the first draft, then polishing and finalizing the demo took FOREVER. But the process went a lot quicker than usual, so there’s no guarantee the second episode will be coming earlier than this.
Anyways, you can go and check it out to see if it’s cool or whatever, I don’t know.
You never thought you could meet someone who looks identical to you...
And if you haven’t heard of this game before, then I don’t blame you. You can go and check out the intro post here.
This tale sweeps you up and drops you back 3500 years into the past, straight onto the banks of the Nile, in the glory days of the Egyptian Empire. Under the looming threat of war, some powerful artifacts have been stolen and the king entrusts you with their recovery. You don't know what awaits you on this journey but you know one thing for sure: if you don't catch the enemies of the empire, you will risk open war and even execution. Take your fate into your own hands, solve mysteries, meet new friends, fall in love, learn about magic, monsters, spirits, and gods and have fun in the ancient Egyptian kingdom in this historical fantasy novel.
Choose from 4 different backgrounds, each with a unique backstory: noble, priest, captain of the city guard, or a petty thief.
Play as male, female or non-binary; gay, straight or bi.
Build friendships, rivalries, or find love with a young prince, a mysterious spymaster, a brooding spirit, an elite warrior… or even the pharaoh himself.
Play as a merciful defender of justice or a ruthless executioner.
Warning: This story is a work of fiction. As much as I like historical accuracy, this is NOT historically accurate and isn't meant to be. The story also includes depictions of violence, swearing (lots of swearing, seriously), dealing with trauma, death and other subjects that can be upsetting for certain readers. It is recommended for mature audiences only. Read at your own discretion.
I will include a complete list of triggering content as the story goes on. In the future, I will also add optional sexual content that you will be able to turn on or off at your own discretion.
Currently, the demo includes: Chapter 1 with one of the four available backgrounds.

This is an excuse to write monster, ermm, loving content. The story is rated 18+ and will contain NSFW and maybe some gore along with other dubious things. There will be fade to black options and skippable scenes as well as preference options and some pretty tame and sweet routes, but why are you here if monsters are not your thing? Read at your own discretion!
Morgan → Vampire🦇 - M/F - 6’
Tall and pale, with dark hair and crimson eyes, and an infuriating naturally gorgeous body. Always has the hair styled neatly and preferes classy clothes. An incurable flirt.
Expect: Blood and biting related activities. Not particularly loyal.
Elindorn / Eli → Deep forest elf 🏹 (basically a drow) - M/F - 5'7 / 6'4

Hi Theo, I didn't think you were the author of Rhapsody of Broken Dreams, it's a real surprise. Since Calamity Control is on the backburner, can I ask the questions about ROs in Calamity Control?
Hehe, I seem to start a bunch of IFs...
And yeah, you can ask stuff, but I honestly haven't thought about CC in a long while 🙈If it's super long answers, I might not get to them, sorry 💀
But also feel free to ask spoilers as well, since who knows when I'll be updating this one 😵💫🥴
Theo i just sent mons-immortaliums demo to a friend and the fact they got stuck on the this is a filthy fairy romance made me laugh.
It's honestly still my favorite work from you ❤️
Hope you are feeling okay btw! 😇
Liiiiz 🤗💕 You're always so nice, literal ray of sunshine! ✨
Thank you so much and thanks for recommending my little filthy IF🤭Swear I'll update it
Doing ok, just dealing with a little heath wave, there were days with 40°C / 104°F🥵🥵Which is normal-ish for summer here, but not for a whole month 😭
Hi Hello. Yes, I know. :< I went dark again! This time it was because I ended up changing more last minute and didn't want to moan on about the excuses so I hunched away to work on it in silence. :> I think I've made it clear through my actions that I am not a social media person so I tend to neglect the 502 Tumblr when I write. Sorry :<
A lot happened in my life since posting the pilot but I did say I would never abandon 502 and I meant it. I struggled with my work/life balance since starting an IF (it's a lot of work) but I'm glad I'm here to I can update the demo now!
What to expect:
⛟ Another day in apartment 502
⛟ Spend some time with one of the roommates.
⛟ Have your orientation at your job and meet a familiar face!
Some things to take note of:
The news anchor route is not available. I didn't like the direction I was taking it and haven't figured out what I want to do with it. It's not gone permanently but this update it'll be blocked off :<
Stats are still not updating. I ended up changing them multiple times and realized I wanted to wait another update to figure out what stats I want to focus on. The story gives me many directions to go on when it comes to stats and I want to make sure I hone in on the stats that will apply to most of MC's story. The stats are there so you won't get any errors but they won't move or anything and they'll most likely change.
There may be some inconsistencies, typos, errors or things that don't match. The product of writing half the chapter over nine months ago and going through many changes. :< Please let me know if you find errors. You 100% will in a 100k chapter.
