this entire project is a handful of weird sex scenes with almost 400k words of plot like scaffolding to reinforce the kink

#Marchistics 3: For grav panels, we'll do the interior component that makes them actually work, referred to in the industry as a "TOEbox" (more on why downthread)

For genegrafts, we'll do the carefully crafted coral graft that serves as the vehicle for the genetic material being implanted. (1/8)

This book is excellent! Highly recommend if you enjoy crime thrillers and/or Lovecraftian type horror!

Also, morally dubious but very hot MCs πŸ˜‚

This image is super blurry because I don't have the file with the title text, only the illustration, but BEST BELIEVE this is going to look STELLAR in print. It's going to be SHINY. And GOLD. And extremely hoardable on a bookshelf, as is befitting the big swoopy dragon front and centre.

"Remember when you said that you would die for me?
Walk through the fire, burn alive for me?
Take a bullet right between the eyes for me?"

This is not a normal human sentiment and I appreciate singer/songwriters who not only come up with this shit but scream it into a microphone

#AwesomeCharacters

Fish has a number of pretty gnarly old scars. It's even a minor plot point in this novella (Partners in Crime).

The whipping happened when he was 19 and was actually the first step in a process meant to cause his magic to go rogue and consume him.

The scars along his... 1/

     Wesley forced himself to look at the ground between them when he said, β€œIf you come after me again, I’ll break your fucking legs.”
     He started walking again. Owen jolted after him, only for Stephen to yank him back.
     β€œWesley!” he cried, and again, because he had no fucking shame or pride: β€œWes-ley!” But Stephen had a good grip on his arm, and Wesley made it through the gap in the hedgerow and into that scraggly little stand of trees.
    He’d never run from a fight, but he was running now.

A shojo style art piece featuring two men first looking at each other, foreheads pressed together as they smile gently. Another panel shows them kissing. The taller man is Sasha, with pale skin and short light brown hair and scruff on his chin. He's wearing leather armor and a green tunic. The shorter man is Galen, with tan skin and long auburn hair pulled into a bun. He has a large burn scar on his face and neck. He is wearing a yellow tunic.

Overlaid is a meme that reads: "you'll die for me. awesome. will you break a habit for me? will you learn something new for me? will you fix your mistakes for me? dying for me is surprisingly easy - it's often passive and instantaneous and you only need to do it once. will you do the hard thing of constantly and consistently putting in the work again and again and again?

These are just the scars/old injuries they show up with in their intros. Book 2 and 3 really rough everyone up.
