The Thaumaturge [Chapter 6: An Aggressive Finish]

Lauren. She might have more answers.

I waited, half a block down from the entrance to Viv's building, for Viv to leave. There was no way I was going to risk awkwardly running into her on my way to talk to Lauren. It only took...

Feb '25 Updates, poll results, and plans

Impossibly, it's now February!

Here's what's up on deck:

  • The Readers asked for another chapter of Dungeon Mistress, so another chapter of Dungeon Mistress ye shall receive. I've gotten this started already; I'm trying to decide...

A Hospital Stay [Part 4]

It was the next day, and I was experiencing a fair degree of mental anguish.

I almost wished Mia hadn't said anything about Natalie's break-room gossip.

Every time any staff came into the room -- a nurse to check how my blood pressure ...

Jan 2025 - What Should I Write Next?

Since this is a paid-subscriber-only post, I'm dropping a note at the top to say that -- as I mentioned last month -- I've added a new experimental, limited membership tier that will allow you to sponsor a story from me. You can view the details i...

The Thaumaturge [Chapters 4 and 5: Abrupt Interruptions]

Authors Note: Well, this chapter turned out so long that I broke it up into two chapters, with a lot of world-building/premise-establishing. But I'm posting them both at the same time. In my defense, you all tasked me with a challenging premis...

Dungeon Mistress

Author's Note: I'd welcome feedback, positive or negative on this one -- drop a comment or a DM. This is a bit longer than my usual fare and not as specifically premature-ejaculation focused, but I think it hits a lot of the same notes. Let me...

The Therapist -- now on Patreon

Hi -- just dropping a quick note to say that all of the chapters of the Therapist are now available here on Patreon. It's not a finished series yet and I'll continue to release parts over time (I think it's probably got 4-6 parts remaining for the...

The Therapist [Part 9]

Knowing I was headed into an appointment with Stacy in two weeks made the intervening time pass agonizingly slowly.

I couldn't get the image of her masturbating out of my mind. The way her body looked, full tits and flat...

Happy New Year, poll results, and January '25 plans

Thank you!

As the year draws to a close, just wanted to drop a note here to thank everyone who has joined in the first few days of having this Patreon live. It's been really nice to see some early support, both from familiar commenters who I know have been l...

A Hospital Stay [part 3]

I desperately wished there was something to do besides lie here.

Ordinarily, when I was feeling down on myself, I went and did something. Hit the gym. Knocked out a project or two. Got a drink with a friend.

Right now, all I c...

Dec 2024 -- What Should I Write Next?

Okay, so here's how these will work. I'll outline what I definitively plan to write, and then offer some additional things I'd like to write. Depending on my free time, some amount of stuff from the "I'd like to write" list may get p...

The Thaumaturge [Chapter 3: Tap Out Early]

I woke up in the morning feeling more than a little hung over. Blearily, I pulled up the notifications on my phone.

First, Vivian had texted me.

Vivian: I had fun, but we could've had more fun if you had lasted longer...

The Thaumaturge [Chapter 2: A Quick Hookup]

Maybe you think I was stupid for not immediately chasing after this strange interaction. Trying to figure out what was going on. Texting Lauren to demand an explanation.

If so, I'd just remind you: I was young. It was Friday night. I had jus...

The Thaumaturge [Chapter 1: A Brief First Date]

This is the start of what I'm hoping is a new, long smut series. It's going to have an urban fantasy theme.

The Therapist [Part 8]

I had a very quiet two weeks between therapy appointments.

I followed Lexie's advice, and didn't contact Becca. It was harder than I expected initially, but every time I thought about reaching out to her, I also thought about our last conver...

The Therapist [Part 7]

I was a bit nervous, but I had to admit, I felt...confident, for a change, as I headed home. Talking to Becca was the right thing to do. Lexie had given some great advice. Really actionable. I had been concerned about not seeing St...

Unfortunately, internet research didn't turn up much.

There was an Alexis Chao, licensed counselor, listed as working out of the same building. But nothing like Stacy's internet footprint. Eventually, with some digging, I found...

The Therapist [Part 5]

I spent two weeks not exactly sure how to feel about my next therapy appointment.

Becca and I didn't talk about Stacy, after the night out at the bar. I got the sense that Becca was a little embarrassed, and to be honest, I was, too. We had ...

The Therapist [Part 4]

I left the last appointment, got home, and started googling Stacy. Frankly, I was dreading it a bit. I expected to find evidence that she wasn't really a therapist, that this was some kind of weird hoax or scam.

Instead, I found an astonishi...

"So, as I recall you had some homework from last appointment..." Stacy was flipping back through a legal pad.

Here I was. Back again. Feeling -- like always, when I was in her office -- a little discombobulated.

I waited, nervously, for the elevator to reach her floor.

I had been thinking about this appointment for two entire weeks.

Well, not this appointment. Last appointment.

A Hospital Stay [Part 2]

After Natalie left, I had a relatively quiet day. Denise, the lead nurse for the day shift on the floor, bustled in and out a few times; we settled into an easy rapport. I liked her. A police detective stopped by, interviewed me about what had hap...

Big Man on Campus

Move-out day. The end of my junior year.

It had, all-in-all, been a good year. I had transferred here at the start of the year, hoping it would be easy to make a name for myself. It had been. This was a small school. A small place. The lacro...

A Hospital Stay [Part 1]

I blinked. It felt like I was in an elevator that the floor had dropped out of, or maybe a rollercoaster going through a loop-the-loop repeatedly.
