Krista
Theo
Leah
Kale
Demetrius & Theo
Theo & Krista Leah & Demetrius Krista & Kale Demetrius & Kale Ten. Romance Options. And I plan for this to be five books long.
I’ll see you guys in a few centuries.

Footsteps crunch on snow layden ground - the only sound disturning the air that night. Out here, so far away from most large cities, the stars are bright and many. Silvery light from a full moon bathes the world in an ethereal glow.
But Kale's mind is far from the beauty of the scene before them. It's nothing they haven't seen before. And they hunger only for how the world will look when they have completed their task.
Their hands are held loosely behind their back as they walk, pressed suit still crisp despite the late hour and how long they have been wandering.
No, not wandering, they think. Following. They have been tracking this feeling for months now, the sensation that tells them they have come upon a likely spot. A place where they may be able to try again. And again, and again...
They've lost count of how many times they've made the attempt. How many times they've failed. Their patience is wearing thin. They had been searching for so long, and truthfully, they were growing weary of the constant hunt. This was far from the first time they'd come across a promising location.
But somehow, they knew, this would be the last.
They can't explain how, but they know this time is different. The barrier is so very thin here - they feel as though they could pull on a single thread for the whole thing to come unwraveling at once.
But no. They've made that mistake before. The world has a way of putting itself back together when one punches a hole through it.
No, this must be done carefully. The path must be formed as naturally as possible. And they know this time they will manage it. The scent of magic is strong here. Somewhere nearby, there is a source they can tap into. It is now only a matter of finding it, and making it theirs.
After hours of walking, they have come uppn a road. A small one, but it must lead somewhere. And it meanders toward where this pull is coming from, so they follow it. Every step makes the sense brighter, stronger, headier. It won't be long now.
It isn't until they come near a road sign that the sense begins to change. Grow smaller. Not weaker - but rather than it being overwhelming in it's intensity, it seems to coalesce. Kale is certain they could pinpoint its exact location soon, rather than a vague direction. To think such a powerful source would be held in a town so small, they think with asmusement as they pause before the sign. They've crested a hill, and now they can see lights below in a valley - a quaint village nestled in the mountains, unaware of the danger lingering on its outskirts.
Very well, Kale thinks as they begin stepping down toward the town, slipping into the thick trees to avoid detection. We will see what secrets you hold, Ferrington.
Home Is Where The Heart Is
The smell of the salt on the sea and the breeze in his hair would never cease to soothe Demetrius. He’d prefer to be out on the water, but looking out at the ocean while the sun slowly sank beyond the horizon was good enough for now. It was a rare occasion they got to stay somewhere that wasn’t a cheap motel, and he was taking full advantage of the view the deck of the beach house provided. So what if the owners didn’t know they were there?
The soft creak of the wood alerted the vampire to Theo’s presence, and he turned his head slightly in acknowledgement as his friend approached to lean on the rail beside him. All was quiet for a long moment, the two of them enjoying the peace.
“I can’t remember the last time I watched the sunset,” Demetrius at last said softly into the quiet.
A small puff of an almost-laugh escaped Theo. “Neither can I. There never seems to be time…” Demetrius’ eyes darkened as his fist clenched on the bannister. None of them should have to miss something as simple as watching a sunset. It seemed every moment of their lives were spent searching for clues, running to chase, only to find more carnage, more damage they’d been unable to prevent. But there was no one else who could fight this, no one else who even knew what was happening. They were the only ones who could put a stop to the war to come, and they’d do anything to make sure it never came to pass. They’d never be thanked for it, but it didn’t matter. It wasn’t about earning gratitude or respect. It was to protect people from suffering the same fate that had happened to him, to his friends. No one deserved to not have a home. A hand on his shoulder broke Demetrius from his thoughts, and he looked up to see Theo giving him a warm, albeit small smile. “We’ll have that time someday.” Demetrius snorted. “How do you know?” “I just do.” He wanted to snort again, but chose to just look away again. Improbable though they were, Theo’s confident words to make a small smile crook on his lips. It was nice to think they’d have a home someday. Maybe somewhere just like this, by the sea, where he could watch the sunset on the ocean every night. Maybe something he couldn’t imagine yet, but would feel like home all the same. Eventually, he reached up to grip the hand on his shoulder, and squeezed Theo’s hand gratefully. “I hope you’re right.” They stood in companionable silence a while longer as the sun descended, until they were left in the grey-blue light of evening, the darkness not hindering either of their sights. Inside, he could hear Leah and Krista speaking softly to one another, laughing over some joke he couldn’t quite make out. It almost felt like home, and briefly he thought to himself that anywhere with them would be good enough. But…no. They deserved a place to come back to, a place where they all could feel safe. They were family, and that mattered, but they’d wandered for too long. He’d find them a home if it was the last thing he did. At last, Demetrius sighed and decided that he’d wallowed in the melancholy for too long, and he was quite sick of it. So he threw his arm around Theo’s waist and leaned heavily against him, sighing dramatically. “Such a romantic setting. If I didn’t know any better Theo, I’d say you were trying to seduce me.” Theo snorted and reached up to tug at the black tail of his hair. “I wouldn’t have to try this hard.” Demetrius scoffed loudly and pushed himself away from the grinning werewolf. “Excuse me? I’ll have you know I’m not easily won, freckles. I need to be romanced.” Theo turned to lean back against the rail, hands in his pockets. “I’ll keep that in mind. What’ll it be then? Candlelit dinner? Red wine that isn’t actually wine?” The vampire rolled his eyes, chuckling. “How unimaginative. Sorry darling, I’m afraid you’re just not up to my standards.” Out of a glass, really. A shrug was Theo’s only response, still smiling. “Drat. All that work for nothing.” They chuckled together, both looking to the house when the voices of Leah and Krista briefly rose over some playful argument they were having. Demetrius’ heart clenched again at the thought of such a thing being normal, and he could feel Theo’s concerned eyes on him. Just as he’d opened his mouth to assure him that he was fine, he was suddenly enveloped in a hug, the werewolf’s lanky arms wrapped around him. At first, he couldn’t quite respond, arms hanging limply at his side. This sort of wordless comfort wasn’t something he often indulged in, even as physically affectionate as he was. He tried hard not to let show how much this journey they were on affected him, but clearly he hadn’t done as well as he’d thought. After a moment, he slowly raised his arms to embrace Theo as well, then clutched at his back when his friend only tightened his hold. No words needed to be said, Theo understanding entirely. Deep down, Demetrius was fairly certain they all felt this way. Home may be where the heart was, but all of theirs were broken.
Unseasonable
Spring. No matter how many centuries she lived, Leah would never get tired of it. No two Spring seasons were exactly alike, even if a certain trend could be followed for a number of years. But nothing would ever fill her heart with more giddy excitement than the feeling in the air of life starting anew, of watching small green buds appear on branches, or hearing the first sounds of new life. It was in her nature, she supposed. How could she not revel in the warmth of the new year to come?

Betrayal
A snippet from my upcoming IF novel, The Veil! This is a bit of an introduction to one of the romance options, Theo! I’d love it if you’d read this little blurb and give it a reblog! Thanks! Also, to be clear, I originally posted this on my personal blog, @shepavellann, since at the moment I have a larger following on that blog. No need to think I’m copying it! “Theo. Theo, is that even coffee anymore?” Theo looks up from the paper cup he has been stirring creamer into and tilts his head quizzically at Demetrius. “What?” The vampire’s face is contorted in an overly dramatic expression of disgust. “It’s not even brown anymore.”

Hi! I'm new to the blog and wanna know more about the story or synopsis of The Veil. Also reading the asks about Kale 'n Theo have me worried I'll turn into a simp
🍄
[swirls wine glass] yessss, good, GOOD. MWAHAHAHA
So I have a post here explaining what The Veil is about, if that helps. Other than that, you'll have to ask me specific questions! If the answer would be too spoilery I'll let you know!
So what is The Veil even about, hm? You, the player, will play a college student in the town of Ferrington, with a population so small, eve
MC asks, "Hey, could you hold something for me?" and it's just their hand. ROs reaction???
Kale: Smirks and lifts your hand up to kiss your knuckles. If you'd wanted to hold their hand you could have just asked.
Leah: Blinks. Blinks again. Then hides her burning face behind her free hand and squeezes yours with the other. Cannot speak. Leah.exe has stopped working.
Theo: Pauses, then bursts out laughing. That was adorable. He's gonna try and do the same thing to you a million times, it becomes sort of an inside joke.
Krista: giggles and presses herself into your side. You're silly, but she loves it.
Demetrius: Snorts, then uses your hand to pull you up close against him. Cute. But he'd rather hold more than just your hand.
MC takes a literal bullet for the RO's, how do they react?
[cackles evilly]
Going on the assumption that you actually die from this
...[even more evil laughter]
---
Leah: Heartbroken, gutted. Curls up shaking over your body for a minute, not bothering to hide her tears. When she finally looks up, it's the first time any of the team ever see her truly furious. Whoever did this is going to pay, and nothing will survive in her wake. Eventually all that rage will subside, and she'll just be. Empty.
Theo: Completely loses his breath. It doesn't really hit him that you're just. Gone. It doesn't make sense. The world isn't right without you in it. The team has to shake him out of it if they want to catch who did this. He'll be in shock for days. And then disappear for a while.
Demetrius: Blames himself immediately, and will for the rest of his days. He should have seen it coming, should have been faster, should have been the one to protect you. He has forver left to go now without you in the world, and what's the point if you aren't with him?
Krista: Screams the moment she sees it hit you. Again when the life leaves your eyes. Keeps going until her throat is too sore to continue. She's lost so much and now she had to lose you too, and it breaks whatever was left of her. After the killer is disposed of - in an extremely cruel way - she leaves and doesn't come back.
Kale: Will also never forgive themselves. They didn't deserve you, and their life wasn't worth yours. The only reason they go through with their plan is because of the destruction it will cause, finding a sort of catharticism in it all. But by the end, they don't feel anything at all. It no longer seems to matter.
Hi! I just wanted to pop in and gush about how excited i am for the wip!! The premise really peeked my interest and reading about the RO's just made me even more excited. You're such a talented writer and i can't wait for the demo to drop!! 💞💞
ALSO Demetrius?? SIR?? HAND IN MARRIAGE PLZ
AHHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH! Sorry it took me forver to answer, I've got about 10 milion things goin on. Hopefully there can be some real progress soon!

He blinks, surprised, then glances away for a moment. A hand comes up to cover his mouth, and you realize he's smiling. Blushing.
"You beat me to it..." he mutters, and pulls a small box out of his pocket. "You couldn't have waited a few hours?"

what would the ros think of an mc who's pretty domestic? makes them lunch, leaves cute little notes, loves to bake and all that good romcom-esque romance stuff?
Demetrius: It's not what he would have asked for in a partner, but he finds he really enjoys it. He'd love to be involved in helping you with that stuff, but you may have to show him how. And. Don't leave him alone in the kitchen.
Theo: Absolutely adores it, feels so loved and finds you precious. He does domestic stuff himself, so you two wil be that disgustingly sugary sweet couple
Krista: Surprised, but enjoys it. She's not super domestic herself, so having someone do that kind of thing for her makes her very happy. Will get into calling you related cute pet names
Leah: Blushes at every note you give her. Is terribly basful about the whole thing, but loves every second of it. Just give her some room to breathe, she can't take all this affection!
Kale: Thinks it's kind of silky, but also endearing. Will probably tell you at first it's unnecessary, but if you enjoy it they encourage it. What matters is it makes you happy
What's the R/O's favorite place to kiss/be kissed?
With the exception of mouth kisses, which they all love...
Demetrius: his jaw/neck
Theo: cheek or nose
Leah: forehead
Krista: closed eyelids
Kale: hands
Update
I know there hasn’t been much activity lately, and I wanna apologize for that. Balancing school and commissions has been a hassle - plus we’re in Texas, and that winter storm hit us hard. But I am still working on the game when I can, and would like to be able to give you guys more frequent posts. On that note, you all are always welcome to send in asks, but I’d like to hear some feedback as well! What kind of posts would you like to see? There are some spoilery things I can’t go into of course, but is there anything you’d like to know about the game as we move forward? My inbox and dms are always open!
Oh! In the haunted house ask you say Krista wouldn't jump, would she like comfort a scardy cat MC?
She would! Probably mostly by reminding you none of it’s real, but mostly just wants to know what you find most comforting. She’ll adapt to what’s best for you
How would the ros react to MC being like "I can fit my whole world in my hands" and proceeds to cup their face (polys are just the MC putting one hand on each cheek like a dork)
Theo: You’re gonna make this boy CRY. Almost anyway. He gets red cheeked and does the same to you and it’s really cute Leah: Blushes big and tries to hide her face in her hands between yours. Eventually just hides in your neck/chest Demetrius: Blinks in surprise then laughs and kisses or hugs you. Tells you’re charming Kale: Laughs softly and pulls you close. tells you not to forget it Krista: Peppers your face in kisses and says you’re her world too
