This town drowns in trauma, generational and otherwise. Their tradition is made of glass shards and coals and they are dancing barefoot on top.

Luther only slowly realizes what damage it did to him.

"It had been a perfect place to break a child's confidence, and it would have been a suitable place for a collection of demarrowed animal bones, but for a human grave it was too far away from civilization to be more than a hiding spot for something shameful."

To be honest, sometimes I'm not sure how to transport Nicholas' eldritch characteristics. The thing is that one gets used to it very quickly and there is only so much about him that is weird or somehow off. And it's not only Nicholas.

I'm worried they'll become TOO human and become uninteresting.

"There was no echo of lost warmth, because there had been none to begin with. He felt alive, just like the sea or a mountain or the wind felt alive, an existence beyond comprehension."

This one is from "The Purity Of Drowning" and showcases another of the six gods worshipped in the empire. These people have issues and it shows. Fun fact in next post:

"During service, the Sinner's place was next to the Suffering, the effigy of a nightmarish creature, which—flayed and locked in eternal agony—was nailed to a wooden cross. Its heart was in chains, suspended from its peeled ribcage, its entrails wrapped its lower body like a skirt made of shredded ribbons and badly braided bobbin lace."

A quote from another way too long introduction, before the kinky fuckery happens, because I need (want) to elaborate on Luther's trauma as well as the shared trauma of the whole town, because we are still striving for eldritch horror here between the horny moments.

"Who lamented coming home as a mess of rashes and cuts if they came home at all?"

Last one for today, I promise! I particularly love this line, because it just gives off... the right kind of vibe I guess?

Anyway, here you go!

"He weighed it in his hands; his long, delicate fingers caressed the tails of the whip that was called Regret or Bliss or Forgiveness or whatever those who had felt it had found in its burning kisses."

This one is from my upcoming short story "The Purity Of Drowning", another one about Luther and Nicholas' kinky shenanigans!
Sorry for smothering you in posts! I posted these daily on insta and forgot to put them here as well, so now you get the full spam experience!

"The stone’s color mirrored the inscrutable intestines of the catacombs, but it was smoother, warmer, less worn down by physical violence.
Instead of blood, it was drenched in words of shame, love, greatness and pity."

The next quote is from "Taste Of The Grave", the second part of "Darker Worlds", again focusing on Luther and Father Nicholas.

Another glimpse of the world my boys live in.

"The shadows would drown them, their feet would hurt from stumbling barefoot through the night, nicked and pierced and chafed by sticks and stones, their bodies would shake in primal fear from the hot, wet breaths of the Queen’s offspring that conquered the night."

Time for some fancy quotes!

Number 1 is from "Sinner", the first part of my Darker Worlds series!

In the background is a green-tinged hand reaching for rusty chains. It is overlaid with a semi-transparent text box framed by a fancy border. The text reads: "His toes barely touched the ground, the very stone on which countless lives and sins had been broken and scrubbed into oblivion, leaving behind only stains and whispers of the depurated souls."

There is one for "Taste of the Grave", too, of course!

The right side shows the cover of the book, a half-naked man kneeling before a wooden cross. The title reads: "Taste of the Grave".

Left of and above the cover is the book description in white text:

Above: "Don't you want to thank them?"

Left: "Luther has pledged his soul to the man he is obsessed with and sacrificed his old life and humanity to lead an existence of servitude to his priest. As Father Nicholas leads him to face his own grave—a shameful reminder of the life he once led—Luther's past catches up to him, waking long forgotten memories and suppressed emotions. But the priest will not watch his precious toy crumble in the wake of its trauma, and how could one better destroy the remnants of the past self than by desecration of its memorial?"

Below: "Link in Bio"

The title reads: "What to expect"

In the middle of the picture is the cover of "Taste of the Grave", surrounded by trope tags. Those are:

M/M, masturbation, out in the woods, Spit, gags and collars, 5k short, questionable coping skills, exhibitionism/voyeurism, humiliation kink, Priest/Sinner

Okay, I originally made these for ig, but because my profile looks terribly boring with its lack of media, I'll try to convince you to read my stuff using visual stimuli.

Enjoy my crappy design-skills!

On the right side: The cover of "Sinner", which shows hands tied together with rope, and tentacle-like shadows.

Above and left of the cover, white text is displayed:

Above: "You should beg for mercy. You will soon enough."

Left: "Luther has sinned. Now he has to face the consequences. Taken from his home and family in the middle of the night, down to the hidden chambers below the church, Luther has nothing left but to await his punishment, carried out by the local priest. Father Nicholas is prepared for this gruesome task, but little does he know that Luther's sinful heart does not ache for redemption, but for sweet agony caused by his hand."

Below: "Link in Bio"

The title reads: "What to expect:"

In the middle of the picture, the cover of "Sinner" is displayed, surrounded by tropes.

Said tropes are: M/M, choking, dub-con, Flogging, Obsession, 9k short, Tentacles, A world full of eldritch horror, Humiliation kink, Priest/Sinner

Crossposting here, just because. My last three reads I really enjoyed.

The cover of Bloody Aubade and a little text on a parchment-like background. The text reads:

"Bloody Aubade" by Larkin Bryne (This one was an ARC)
Rating: 4/5
Would I recommend?

Yes. If you are into poetic writing styles and don’t mind a little confusion here and there, this book is definitely worth a read.

The cover of Birdeater and a little text on a parchment-like background. The text reads:

"Birdeater" by Sirius
Rating: 5/5
Would I recommend?

Yes! If you are into smooth serial killers and mentally unstable obsessive weirdos, then do yourself a favor and read this one.

The cover of Heart & Sole and a little text on a parchment-like background. The text reads:

"Heart & Sole" by Achilles King & Magnus Thorne
Rating: 4/5
Would I recommend?

Always wanted to hear a rich guy with humiliation kink beg for you? (who didn’t?)
Then you’ll be VERY happy with this one.

Since I do not get anxiety attacks from coffee anymore, I slowly turn into one of those people who drink iced coffee with too much sugar in the morning.

Okay, since I never got to upload my work to itch, it is technically not banned, but I'm sure it would have been, so here's my moodboard for "Sinner".
It's the first I ever made, so please be nice. U.U

The pictures are from unsplash, pexels and pixabay (don't ask me which is which).

A green-tinged collage of nine different photos.

From left to right:

1. An old, rough stone wall.
2. A close-up of a masculine chest with drops of sweat on it
3. A hand reaching for chains suspended from above
4. A flogger, its tails curled and twisted
5. A close up of tentacles
6. A pair of hands holding a book bound in (probably) leather
7. A priest's hands holding a Host and a golden chalice; in the left corner of the picture the flame of a lit candle can be seen
8. Part of an old church building with a dark entrance leading to... somewhere
9. The bright green iris of an eye

I just randomly thought of this guy and felt nostalgic, because I REALLY had the hots for him back in the day.

And I STILL do, because broody elf with fancy 'tattoos' is exactly my type.

Ah, I really loved the design of the elves in DA2. ._.
