A Humored Horror Story

This is a sideblog [Main blog @augment-duke You can msg there] and the content placed here is wholly dedicated to my novel work, [REDACTED]. I'm posting things here as a way to make my brain say 'They're finished. Stop going back and nitpick editing' la way to force myself to move on, not really a 'want to be noticed' type of... blog. If I do, that's great! If not, then nothing changes \o/ no pressure to me! That's the vibe.

A short summary of the content is;

Set in pseudo-modern day Canada, a young man wakes up within the morgue, with an unknown voice over the phone leading him to freedom he's soon roped into a life he never wanted. Follows the relationships of a team of agents authorized and owned by the government to defend against Biological Terrors known the world over as ‘Phages’, and fight the corporations that create them through state-legal means. (LGBTQ+ Romance, Horror, 18+ Adult Themes/Sexual Content.) Full Content Warning; Gore Description and Violence, Character Abuse and Trauma, Stated/Written Sexual Content, Abuse of Power Dynamics, Non-Descriptive Dubious Consent, Drug use/Abuse.

While there is a lengthy list of content warnings here, they are spread throughout a broad spanning storyline - with nothing being 'violence for the sake of violence'. Each and all has a reason to the inclusion from start to finish. I will continue to update this pinned post with Single Chapter updates, links to character aspects or art, as well as additional links. [Note; I would include a Master Copy of all of them in once place, but it's unadvised due to the concept of theft. Though I doubt that will happen; Google did delete 3 novels worth of my other manuscript though to feed to AI a few years ago :) so I'm not hoarding it all in once place anymore - one version of the PDFs are hosted there for sharing, but I write offline in Scrivener. - until i can get proper hosting for it]

NOTE; ALL OF THESE ARE BASE DRAFTS AND NOT FINAL COPY, I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY ERRORS OR GRAMMATICAL MISTAKES I'VE MISSED THEY'RE ALL GOING TO BE RE-WRITTEN/EXPANDED ON ONCE THE BASE DRAFTS ARE DONE. THINK OF THESE AS SKETCHES. [Posting them, again, is so I don't Nitpick focus and I Move On]

Short hand, Over 50% of these chapters I wrote 2+ years ago with at least 4+ months apart on painkillers post surgeries. I'm taking a moment from New-Writing to go back and edit through 1>13 (currently written) to make sure things flow and nothing is missing for the main 'set up' of information. Could take a bit, but this is being posted May 30th 2026, with a goal of full editing being done by the end of June 2026.

Chibi's of Alexander and Dietrich to sit on my Stream Layout while I work.

Quick redraw of old work (bottom2019?? > Top2026)

I didn't recognize there was a difference in my growth until I did this and put them side-by-side. Neat!

Alexander our beloved. Novel chapters are coming along great.

Speedpaint included [with specific music choices :)c ]

Quick references for Alexander and Dietrich [MC and Romantic Lead From Novel work]. Very messy, but most of the general information is here ((Without going into actual spoilers or reasons for them))

There's a literal novel of info about them so this is a bare-bones bits and pieces.

(I could have cleaned them properly but eh this generally gets the point across. More for myself than anything else I suppose)

Sketches of Novel Things from multiple streams near the end of 2025. One is just me being silly and wanting to draw Alex, and the other is a request for things from Ch.4 [that ended up being more uhhh Sweet-Soft than intended but I'm not complaining]

Speedpaint thing here cause eh, it's a mess but don't mind that.

Have an Emote doodle for Alexander for my Twitch Chat. Nothing fancy he's just Vibing.

"In the rain, even liars cry"

'When you look in the mirror, do you really know the person staring back?'

"Put it out. Now." Was that anger in his tone? That and something else. Something personal. Hidden away behind black glass - more than professional responsibility to their 'job' - locked in unmoving features as that strong posture loomed to catch in the Tangerine's warm light. No fear rose in response, none of those ingrained habits of a youth buried called to bend at the threat of authority. Not as the vapor wrapped his lungs in sweet freedom. "What, or I'll die? You should learn to live a little. Sir." The word lingered in a tingle across comfortable lips as that misted smoke came in paired exhale, wrapping that disapproving expression in an unnatural sunset. He looked good, handsome even. The thought fled quickly in misted clouds.

Please- Hold me, kiss me, don't let me fly away.
