2025-10-17 15:57:38 +0000 UTC View PostHello hi! I want to introduce you to one of my next stories: Blood on the Marshes. It's a lesbian vampire detective thriller. It takes place in a world full of enchanted paintings—Klefkia, the charming protagonist and a skilled painter, will be mixed up in a long-cold murder case.
Here is what to expect:

These little critters stored them away for safekeeping, didn’t they? To find later and gorge themselves on them. And the ones they lost track of would grow into trees. Small sweethearts like this one c...
2025-07-29 19:15:55 +0000 UTC View PostHi!
As of posting this note, I will also post a new chapter of LNO, but I decided to put this into a separate post because it turned out a little long.
So, as you all know, it’s been a while, again… I’ve still been struggling with LNO at the current point in the story, which is largely responsible for the de...
2025-07-29 19:15:17 +0000 UTC View PostWelp, there we go, this chapter is finally finished.
The reason for the delay is kinda simple—I got tragically stuck with how to write this. This chapter went through several revisions, with me writing from scratch and with completely different concepts each time, and what we ended up with is nothing like ...

“That’s horrifying…” Treeka spoke in a quiet tone as she stared into the thick curtain of smoke. She sounded a little too monotonous. Her body was moving slowly; potentially from shock. She threw a confused look at Raquina. “The engine runs on wood? Is that why you didn’t want to show me?”
She gla...
2025-04-11 20:05:20 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone! Apologies for the delay, some circumstances converged.. I'm still planning on posting two chapters this week per usual, but the second one will probably go online some time on Friday instead of tomorrow.
Either way.. time for today's chapter~

“What was the moment when you first got suspicious?” the engine caretaker asked with pride in his tone — he seemed incredibly pleased with how things were progressing. Montaparte could imagine he would; after all, she delivered an impeccable performance.
She met his gaze with a me...

But now, far more importantly...... it's time for some revelations!!! ...

Pitter patter drowned the rainforest sounds as well as the thrumming of the engine from the entry door to the Lavish.
Theora, Treeka, and Bell were sitting in the fold of a giant silk-cotton tree together with Omi, Poxie and Log, shielded from the rain by an umbrella-shaped bubble barrier above their heads. Bell was run...

Though tbh at this point in the arc I am incredibly excited about every chapter I get to share lol
Montaparte’s vocation was to solve problems. That, occasionally, ...
2025-03-24 12:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostTreeka wasn’t with Dema, because Dema was currently on her way to search the storage compartment of carriage five together with Montaparte. It reminded Theora that she and Bell would still need to find a way to break into the engine room somehow.
Treeka also wasn’t in the diner, not in any of the communal areas they...

“It’s time to have some fun,” Theora explained with a smug little smile. “You said finding out what happens when you underreport your sheet won’t help us with the investigation. But… what if Fentanyle somehow succeeded in using an undeclared ability? It’s ...
2025-03-17 12:00:16 +0000 UTC View PostThe conversation with the staff left Theora wanting — they had done their absolute best to try to dissuade her from asking a simple, obvious question, and then essentially sent her off with nothing.
“You don’t want to find out.”
But Theora very much did want to find out. She was stil...

The “little rabbit” was trapped.
Montaparte had heard that denomination plenty of times by now. Little rabbit, bunny, Bun Bun. Now, she finally met the critter, being lovey-dovey with the demoness inside the Lavis...

I have some chapter drafts ready, however I will give myself time until Monday for proper edits instead of rushing one out today.
And to give a bit more info: the reason why I have missed the last few updates is because as I mentioned last time, I wasn't feeling too well for a bit, and after that a bun...
2025-03-06 10:45:00 +0000 UTC View PostHi! Sadly my current depressive episode + personal stuff have now eaten all of my backlog, so no chapter today 😔
I'll do my best to post again on Monday if I can produce a chapter by then that I'm happy with..!
2025-02-27 06:56:25 +0000 UTC View PostWhether divination was invention or not didn’t change the fact that [Head in the Clouds] woke Theora up the next morning saying, “Maybe you should ask her out on another date.”
Theora grumbled. The bed was cold; Dema was out and about again, doing detective work. And it’s not like Theora necessarily min...
2025-02-24 12:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostIn order to reopen the Lavish and resume the train ride, Fentanyle had to be sent off.
Staff had been busy the day following the discovery of the body; they were apparently working closely together with Omi to figure out the best way to proceed. According to her, and corroborated by Qyy, it was common in their home worl...
2025-02-20 12:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostTheora let out a yawn. A few hours had passed since her revelation — since she’d noticed a divergence in realities. She felt a little dramatic for phrasing it that way, but what could she do? That was, all things considered, likely what happened. Unfortunately she couldn’t independently verify her assessme...
2025-02-17 12:03:19 +0000 UTC View Post“Would you please be so kind as to share with us your whereabouts last night between 22:00 and 01:00?”
With ‘us’, Montaparte meant two people: First, herself, because she had asked the question. Secondly, her new ‘companion’ for this investigation — a little demoness who had nonchalantly decided to tag alo...
2025-02-13 12:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostCN: Description of Harm to Animals, Death
Theora’s first thought upon hearing Fentanyle died was, ‘No she hasn’t.’ Nobody had died on the train. Theora wanted to give Omi that assurance, but Omi was already hurling herself toward the teleporter.
Theora rushed after. Others followed...

Second Day 8:19 am, Carriage One, Dema’s & Theora’s Room

Why do puppets sleep? I shouldn’t have to, and yet, I grow tired every evening. I want to blame my maker — especially because when I do lie down to find sweet rest, what I find instead is trouble.

The diner was made up of a row of larger four-person tables on the train’s left side, and smaller two-person tables on the other, with small benches perched tightly between them to leave room to sit. The front-facing half of the diner was occupied by long tables holding ...

With a little twitch of her antennae, Omi opened the corridor connection and gestured toward the others to follow. “Your rooms will be in carriage number one, one of the four bed carriages on the train. It’s where I live too.”
They exited the locomotive and...
2025-01-25 17:24:30 +0000 UTC View PostHey there, hi!
A quick note: I’ve been informed of the proper way to use the word ‘coach’ in English — apparently, it refers to railway carriages that are for passengers, rather than being a term for all railway carriages. I went and fixed that in the previous two chapters. Tha...
