Welcome to my favorite spot in the Aerie. Here you’ll find several years’ worth of serial fiction, as well as info on upcoming stories.
The stories in the Story Aerie are growth-centered queer fiction. Most are spec fic, but there’s a couple of oddballs as well. Stories are broken up into ‘seasons’ and each story gets two seasons a year. New chapters post weekly, Sundays, Tuesdays and Fridays.

Ongoing Stories
Top of this list is the three stories that are currently being updated. The rest of the stories are ordered by how soon they will be posting again.
Planting Life in a Dying City
Posts Tuesdays
Left alone after a tsunami destroys eir village, Lefeng would have walked into the mountains and not looked back. But a child lost on the trails redirected eir course and another survivor plants the seed of an idea – a new family. Lefeng’s commitment to those ey comes to love will take eir to the hated city and a new way of life. But in a slowly dying city, Lefeng’s determination can only carry them so far.
The Bargain
Posts Friday
It takes a rare and desperate human to deliberately seek out a fae noble. But rumor says that not all nobles are the same, and Mattin Brenson is desperate. Desperate enough to bargain with Countess Jahlene n’Erida for the highest of stakes.
Bargains with the fae are dangerous, but sometimes what starts as a bargain, can become something more.
Meadowsweet
Posts Sundays
Anonymous post to the Galactic Reddit AITA
I’m the captain of a small trading ship, and I have a problem. I have a ridiculously high sex drive thanks to that damn parasite from Verda, and I can’t afford surgery to remove it. I tried to control it, but I nearly destroyed my crew a dozen times before I found something that worked: A sex slave.
I buy a slave from people who are going to work her to death, give her good quarters, good food, and a percentage of each trading run. All I expect is that she be available for sex, mostly with me, sometimes with the crew. A lot. I’ve had 3 so far. Two saved enough to buy themselves free and got a nice setup on the world of their choice. The third kept trying to escape so I ditched her at our next planetfall with the clothes on her back.
We’re on our way to a so-called ‘Personnel Processing Platform’ to buy the next one. Am I the Asshole?
A Smear of Blood
Season Ended
Sometimes the world turns on the smallest things.
A left turn.
A child’s prayer.
A smear of blood.
The dark goddess of the hunt has been freed from her long sleep.
She has called her priest and her magic prevents any other from hunting him down.
Together they hunt those who trapped her.
And they will save the goddes.
Cost of His Silence
Season Ended
The long-awaited sequel to Bound by His Oath, Cost of His Silence tells the story of one of Reimund’s most trusted knights and Mildthryth’s strongest warriors.
Sir John isn’t as angry as he once was, and he is loyal to a fault. But he still doesn’t understand or like the Anglish customs he now lives among, or the fact that it is Lady Mildthryth and not his longtime friend Lord Reimund who truly rules Oak Haven.
Helen isn’t as scared as she once was, but she still doesn’t trust the Norns — especially Sir John, whose anger towards Lady Mildthryth and the very concept of women warriors is well known. And Helen has a secret, one that can’t be hidden forever…
The Last Lady of Lună
Season Ended
I was a child when enemies destroyed our clan. My mother escaped and tried to raise me in secret, but without my fathers’ blood, she aged and died. Now I am the last head of the Lună vampire clan. My enemies think I am dead, my clan is scattered to the winds, and I am just coming into my powers. I will claim my birthright, rebuild my clan, and destroy our enemies. I’m just going to need a bit of help.
Luckily, I knew where to find it. A hot team of human mercenaries specializing in security have sworn themselves to me. We’re finally learning to understand each other, and good thing we are — because I have unknown allies in my home and enemies at my door. Now we need to survive, learn to work together, and rain hell on our enemies.
And if Lună is still watching out for me, maybe I’ll finally get laid.
Next Came Respect– New!
Sequel to First Came Trust
Coming Sometime
Finished Stories
These stories are complete, you can start at the beginning and read straight through to the end. (Also mostly short.)
First Came Trust
Finished
Lilah knew ey was dead the moment ey met the creature in the woods. Ey never expected eir doom to overtake eir siblings as well. A stranger on the road may offer salvation, but is it worth the price?
What You Will
A Queerer Shakespeare
Finished
Viola is in love with Duke Orsino
Duke Orsino is in love with Countess Olivia
Countess Olivia is in love with Cesario
Cesario is really Viola in disguise… or is he?
Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night is a very queer play, But what if you could make it queerer?
Mighty Hero Force Epsilon
Finished (Kinda)
There are certain rules a sentai team is supposed to follow. They’re supposed to have matching uniforms, and a theme. And they ALWAYS have a guide or mentor. Someone who gave them their powers and can tell them how to use those powers. Someone who tells them what their team name is supposed to be and the history of their enemy.
The rules have been broken. They have no team uniform, they have no guide. They have magic powers and an unknown enemy taking over random cities.
At least they get along, right?
Bound by His Oath
Finished
Reimund Swiđhun has it made. With the king’s blessing, he will capture Lady Mildthryth, marry her, and finally have land to call his own.
Lady Mildthryth Rúna has been fighting off would-be ‘suitors’ for months. She will marry on her terms or not at all.
Usually in historical romance, the too-independent noble woman is forced into marriage and gradually comes to love her husband and accept her subordinate place. Mildthryth has other plans.
Unfinished Stories
Stories I had to abandon for various reasons. Might be able to pick them up again in the future, but no promises.
The Price of Survival
The wolves of Long Valley knew they couldn’t win a two-front war, but they thought they had leverage for a negotiated settlement. A genocidal attack has forced their hand. The Pack Father will offer full surrender to the lesser of two evils. Now the pack will discover – can they afford to pay the price of survival?
On hiatus, tentative plans to resume Fall 2024
How NOT to Save the World
They are a plucky band of rebels, fighting against a tyrant who overthrew the rightful government and is supported by an army of monsters. The only problem? They think they’re the good guys.
They are family, grandmother and granddaughter. Students of Kabbalah in a world where someone could really create the Golem of Prague. They are done sitting back while injustice takes place around them. The only problem? They’re on opposite sides.
They’re just a kid, trying to figure out who they are and where they fit in this crazy world their father just took over. And their new mentor is trying to kill their father. The only problem? Everything!
They are coming to usher humanity into a new galactic society. They have the best of intentions, amazing technology to sell us, and know exactly what will fix all our problems. The only problem? If someone doesn’t stop them, they are going to destroy the world.
He has a prophecy foretelling his success, a dragon sidekick, and plans for the biggest battle station ever built. He’s going to save the world. The only problem? He’s the bad guy.
Definitely picking up again as soon as I can fit it in the schedule. might be a while
