Wake up babe, new ELVES VS ALIENS just dropped. In this installment, meet Eagle. Is he a god? Is he a monster? Whatever he is, it’s bored and lonely. Read for free: open.substack.com/pub/menyoral...
Fox would sit across the fire and nibble while he worked, side-on in a folding chair, with a mage-lantern spilling light from the other way. Eagle could see him now, in his oasis of calculations, beautiful like summer. The firelight would touch gold from his rich hair. Every so often his clever golden eyes would dart to Eagle on the other side. His whole perfect face would soften, and he would look on Eagle with pleasure over the golden rims of his glasses. That. That was the gut punch.

Secondly—ELVES VS ALIENS. I love this story. Me and my best friend took characters from our own series and made them talk to each other. This is what came out.

Shells wrote the first chapter. If you want to find out what happened next, read this for free! open.substack.com/pub/menyoral...
Somehow, the paparazzi had not yet found them. Why, Katie wasn’t sure–they’d stayed at the back of the venue for the first couple of songs and Beri had kept his hood up, which obscured his features just a bit. If his glowing skin cast faint, silvery light against the cloth walls around his face, none of the middle-aged zaddies or the more youthful punk purists in attendance had been rude enough to mention it.

Here’s my “steel” — finally found one. From ELVES VS ALIENS—an alien. #WIPSnips
A picture of text. It reads: Steeling herself at last—the terrible truth had been spoken, and the bad had already happened—Jatus cleared her throat once more. “Neither Marine has revivified as expected. No efforts by Dr. Jyso were successful in inducing revivification. The Marines—the former Marines were both observed to be rotting.” She stopped, swallowing the sourness that touched the back of her throat.

There are a lot of people with Main Character Energy in ELVES VS ALIENS (the point!). Nevertheless, I am going with Eagle, my eldritch horror in elfin form. He’s 5 feet of stone killer, but all the pixies worship him. A little bit of pixie dust?

Oh, no. Waaaaaay too much.
Salt Bae (at his most devilishly handsome) sprinkles pixie dust. The text reads: A LITTLE PIXIE DUST GOES A LONG WAY
