Also, I hope you have been doing well!

Aww thank you!! I’ve been doing well, I hope you have too!

Father Isaac Rowe

Before MC: Fears he’ll succumb to temptation and fail his vows, dishonoring his faith and becoming a hypocrite.

After MC: Fears losing the MC to Him or to damnation, and that his failure to protect them means he’s failed not only himself but God as well.

Detective Jonah Redd

Before MC: Fears becoming irrelevant or powerless, just another washed-up detective who couldn’t save anyone when it mattered.

After MC: Fears watching MC get hurt on his watch, his sense of self becomes wrapped up in keeping them safe, even from forces way beyond his reach.

Silas Wren

Before MC: Fears obscurity, dying without ever being heard or understood.

After MC: Fears MC will see through him, find him lacking, and leave.

Dr. Elaine Marrow

Before MC: Fears losing control of her mind, her sharpness, clarity, and ability to distinguish reality from illusion.

After MC: Fears MC being consumed by forces she can’t reason with, treat, or fight, the idea of watching someone she loves unravel the way she worries she could is unbearable.

Sister Mercy

Before MC: Fears being abandoned by the divine, left adrift between worlds with no anchor, her devotion meaningless.

After MC: Fears MC will become her undoing, that loving them will blind her to Him’s will, or worse, that He will take them from her as punishment.

The Second (HIM)

Before MC: Fears nothing in the mortal sense, but His one lack is eternity without anchor. A vastness without tether.

Hey everyone! 🖤

Quick update for you all: Chapter 1 is officially halfway done! 🎉 I’ve been writing steadily, and it’s starting to really take shape. It’s been so fun seeing the atmosphere of this world come together, the city, the tension, and of course… the ROs.

I don’t want to spoil too much yet, but I can say this: Chapter 1 is laying all the plot and groundwork for both the unsettling vibes and the choices that will maybe tug you in very different directions. You’ll get to meet a few of the ROs in this chapter, and I’m especially excited about the balance between the ordinary and the supernatural!!

Thank you all for being so patient and excited about this project, it really means the world to me!!!

(For those of you who also follow my other projects, updates are on the way for those as well!)

“This what you wanted?” “All that squirming, all that begging, and now look at you.” “Don’t hide. Let Me see how ruined I’ve made you.”

And He doesn’t stop there. Every sound you make gets commentary. Every twitch you make gets a reaction.

“You feel that?” “Say it. I want to hear you admit it.” “You came all this way just to break for me, didn’t you?”

And if you ever even try to act like you’re unaffected, like you’re not already halfway to sobbing, that your legs cannot hold your weight anymore?

“Lying doesn’t suit you.” “But you can lie with your mouth, little one. Your body already told Me everything.”

There’s no silence with Him and it's not because He doesn’t like the quiet, no, he loves it. But because He knows your head gets foggy when He speaks down to you like that. He wants to keep you in that state of mind. Wants to keep you listening even when you can barely breathe.

Do the ROs have favorite positions?

What are their preferences for oral? Yes or no, giving or receiving, gentle or make someone (them or MC) choke etc?

Slight Nsfw under the cut

Hey! Okay but...girl, the way you said “rabbits are relentless” took me out LMAOO.

🕵️ Jonah Redd

He is absolutely floored. You flip the dynamic and this man short-circuits. He’s normally the composed one, but you being ruthless? Focused? With intent? His brain just leaves the building. Might try to keep up at first only to fail miserably, then just surrender and enjoy the ride.

“F-Fuck… sweetheart, you’re gonna kill me.”

🎙️ Silas Wren

He was not ready, not at all. He thought he was the menace in the sheets but now he’s the one clutching the sheets. You being that determined, chasing a goal, chasing your need, dragging him along? He’s breathless, babbling, but he absolutely loves it.

“You—what the fuck, baby—again? I haven’t even—”

🩺 Dr. Elaine Marrow

Tries to stay composed for exactly 2.5 seconds. She fails completely. You catch her off guard once and it’s like waking the dragon. She’s not used to someone outlasting her, so when you do, she’s absolutely intrigued.

“You like seeing me like this, don’t you? Stripped down. Shaking.” “Then keep going.”

✝️ Sister Mercy

She tries so hard to stay composed but you show up with that much devotion? That singular desire? She breaks and she lets you. Hard. She’s shaking, murmuring prayers, maybe crying a little, but never stopping you. It’s like being worshiped and ruined at the same time. (Hope you’re ready for the guilt-soaked aftermath tho)

“This is wrong—this is so wrong—” (but her legs are wrapped around you and her fingers are digging into your back) “But don’t stop. Please, don’t stop.”

✝️ Father Isaac Rowe

You will send this man into crisis. He’s used to suppressing his own desires, not being chased by yours. The sheer focus you have, the way you keep going, intent written all over your face? You say you want to be filled? He hears wedding bells. You do that while whispering, begging for him to give it to you? He sees God.

“Stop saying things like that—you don’t understand what it does to me.”

👁️ HIM (The Second)

He just laughs its dark and low. You come to Him full of want, full of purpose, and He lets you think you’re leading. Lets you take and take and take and He just watches. Letting you exhaust yourself until your thighs shake, your voice cracks, and you collapse against Him—dizzy, trembling, But He’s not surprised. He’s been waiting for this. “You finally remember what your body’s for,” He’ll whisper. “Good. Don’t stop now.” Now He moves. His hands find your hips He holds you still, not to stop you, but to make you feel every inch of Him.

That is adorably chaotic!!!

✝️ Father Isaac Rowe

At first, he thinks it’s a demon. “In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spi—wait… MC?” The moment he realizes it’s triggered by your feelings? He’s even more flustered than you.

“You’re invisible because of… me?” He immediately apologizes for existing too attractively. “I’ll… cover my hands next time?”

But secretly? He thinks it’s adorable. He just won’t admit it.

🎙️ Silas Wren

He lives for this. “MC, if you disappear again I will start monologuing into the void. Don’t test me.” He tries to flirt harder just to see how fast you’ll vanish.

“So if I say you’re the hottest ghost I’ve ever seen—oh. There you go again. Amazing.”

Eventually, he starts leaving little “welcome back” signs wherever you vanish from. One of them just says “👻 BOO. You dropped your dignity.”

🕯️ Sister Mercy

She just tilts her head. Calm. Unbothered. “You do realize I can still sense you.”

She starts speaking directly to your invisible self like it’s perfectly normal. Sometimes she’ll offer you tea mid-fluster, holding the cup out to empty air. “When you reappear, drink. You’re overheating again.” And somehow, her total lack of panic just makes you more flustered.

🧠 Dr. Elaine Marrow

Immediately pulls out a notepad. “Fascinating. A psychosomatic invisibility response. Stimulus: romantic attention.” You’re hiding under a blanket? She’s taking notes beside you.

“Tell me what you were thinking right before you vanished. Be honest. It’s for science.” And she will use this data to mess with you lovingly.

🚬 Detective Jonah Redd

He’s halfway through a sentence and then—poof—you’re gone.

“MC?” “...Did I say something wrong?”

He panics a little the first few times, thinking he offended you. But once he realizes what’s happening? “Wait… so you go invisible when you’re embarrassed?” Immediately becomes extra careful with compliments. But if he really means something? He’ll say it anyway. Even if you vanish.

“I said you’re incredible, and I’m not takin’ it back—even if I gotta say it to thin air.”

👁️ The Second (HIM)

He’s silent. Then he smirks.

“Hmm. So you vanish when touched.” “I didn’t say you touched me!” “But you thought it.”

He begins speaking to where you’re standing. Slowly. Softly. “You can hide your face, little thing. But not your thoughts.” You try not to let your heart race. You fail. And when you reappear? He’s already waiting.

Ooooh 😏
