@tripwirealarm and myself are BACK and the gang's all here, so welcome and please join us for some questionably legal spirits at your favorite underground speak, The Bridge, and immerse yourself in a Shyan AU gone off the rails, set in 1920’s LA against a backdrop of crime and corruption, prohibition and excess.

Follow Ryan, a dedicated but underutilized police officer as he dives into an unsolved mystery and finds more than he bargained for: a war brewing in the shadows, an enigmatic crime boss who is more than what he seems, and a chance to have something he never thought possible.

The Bridge is a completed work. We will be posting it willy nilly as we get chapters edited, more frequently than previously planned.

This story will update every other Friday from today, October 31, 2025, through September 2026. 🥃

Check out our new story Duality. It’s a one shot, so it’s a completed work!

Enjoy.

Yet again, here I am to report in that @tripwirealarm and I are alive and well and still writing. In fact we just finished a short, two chapter piece!

Check out Rabbit Heart, by myself (themouthking) and tripwirealarm (a whole separate human who is not myself).

Chapter 1 (of 2) is up today. Chapter 2 goes up at the end of the week, Friday October 10th.

My cowriter @tripwirealarm, a human who is not myself, and I would like to say thank you to those who've been following along and leaving comments along the way. We hope you enjoy the last chapter!

I'll speak for myself and say, it's really been meaningful for me to see folks sharing about what this story means to them. In the end, we wrote this for us, because it was what we wanted to read, but I'm glad to see it was something y'all wanted to read, too.

Without further a-boo, read chapter 14 HERE.

Howdy folks! Get ready for Chapter 12 comin' atcha! We're getting close to the end, so folks who waited because they wanted to start only after it was complete, your time is nigh!

Smoke and Mirrors

by @tripwirealarm and @themouthking (moi)

Here we are guys! We're approaching the finish line. Lucky chapter number 13. Sure hope things are nice and normal for the #ghoulboyfriends

Smoke and Mirrors, written by myself, TMK, and my co-author @tripwirealarm (who is not even slightly a figment of my imagination and is definitely her own whole person) is ONE CHAPTER from the end, y'all. Get ready! The end is nigh!!

PS: @tripwirealarm actually did a huge bulk of this chapter, so big shout out to 'ol Trip! To make up for the chapter being late (we're sorry, but we promise it's worth it), it's 25 pages long!

Read Chapter 13 here.

How hot is Chapter 11? Well, imagine a jar of peanut butter....

This is not the gif I wanted, I don't want to talk about how long we've been looking for the gif from 3 Horrifying Cases where they're at the bar drinking beers gazing at each other.... anyways.
