Special Menu: Monster Romance[21+ Orcs, Demons, and Fox spirits.. oh my! Multiple plots inside]

Welcome
To my little Paradise

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

Call me Fran or Frankie, whatever name I've gathered over the years! I'm 25+ and a lady. I'm a huge romance reader, and a good romance is my favourite part of any story. All my stories have romance, and with romance, I expect there will be sexual content. Our roleplay can be as dark and tragic as you want! Tragedy adds character! I love smut, but I also want to build a world together and have a steamy plot. I'm not interested in writing only smut. I need chemistry between our characters. Just ask me and I'll tell you what I'm not comfortable writing. I usually do MXF, and I play females. Here are some recent ideas I've had! Please feel free to share your own.

I've recently dipped my toes into Monster romance novels, so writing it is new to me. I'm not into writing about Anthros romantically or intimately. Human's with animal features (ears and tails) is ok.

Format: MC x YC

Warborn and Wounded

Healer x War Chief - Fantasy

She is one of the best healers in her kingdom, renowned for her ability to mend even the gravest wounds. But when her kingdom falls into conflict, she is captured along with other humans by a conquering orc army.
Marked for execution, she expects death, but the Orc War Chief has other plans. Fierce, commanding, and feared across battlefields, he keeps her alive, not out of mercy, but because her talents are too valuable to waste. Her powers are different from their Shaman’s magic
Thrown into a tense, dangerous world, she must navigate captivity, the harsh rules of the Orc army, and the unpredictable War Chief whose motives are as dangerous as his strength. Survival may depend on her wits….. and maybe something more unexpected.[/color]

The Fox Spirit's Bride

Herbalist x Kitsune- High Fantasy

When she becomes lost among shifting paths and whispering trees, a beautiful stranger appears golden eyed, soft voiced, and far too calm for someone wandering the woods at night. He offers her guidance, safe passage, and protection from the spirits that stalk humans after dark. For a price. A simple contract, he says. A harmless binding, he insists. Just a small promise in exchange for his help.
The contract was a marriage bond, cleverly worded in ancient fox magic. Her “guide” is no human at all, but a six-tailed kitsune who needs a bride to complete a powerful ritual, one that will earn him his seventh tail.
Now she is tied to him by magic, bound to his den and his world of illusion. He is cunning, possessive, and far too pleased with himself… but also deeply invested in keeping her alive and close.
She must navigate fox politics, jealous spirits, and a husband who lies beautifully and who refuses to release her until the ritual is complete.

He says it’s just business. She says it’s manipulation. But the more time she spends with him, the more she starts to see glimmers of something beneath his tricks. And the more he fears that when she learns the full truth… she’ll run.
And this time, he won’t let her go.

Dark Ambitions

​

Human x Demon Lord - Modern - Dark Comedy

​

She’s just a university student, trying to survive deadlines, bad roommates, and the general chaos of life. Then he shows up: a dangerously charming demon lord, exiled from his realm, betrayed by his own pupil, and now stuck on Earth in human form.

He craves chaos, lust, and the darkest corners of humanity to regain his power… and somehow, she’s the perfect source.

The real question isn’t whether she can handle him—it’s how far he’ll go to reclaim his throne, and how the hell she explains her impossibly sexy, terrifying, slightly murderous “boyfriend” to everyone else.

If you're interested DM!

Echoes of the Bound [Formally The Oath That Binds]]

"From tombs of chains, the lost shall wake,
And all the earth shall tremble and shake.
If seals are broken, night will reign,
Until the Oracles bind again."

In the aftermath of a war that shattered the heavens, the Virgin Oracles stand as the last bastion between humanity and the ancient gods who were chained. The Oracles hold the fragile seals that keep the Forbidden Gods imprisoned beneath the earth.
But the chains are cracking. Shadows stir in the depths. And the Oracles must be bonded to Guardians marked by divine blessing.
As old alliances crumble and new threats arise, the chosen few must band together.
Their Oath demands they protect one another, for if the Oracles fall, the Forbidden Gods will rise, and the world will be consumed by chaos.

When the Immortal War ended, the world was left fractured. Heavens were scorched, oceans boiled, mountains shattered. And the gods… the once glorious keepers of creation, had turned on each other in a clash of power, pride, and madness. From the ruin, a few gods remained unbroken, but not unscarred. Three of the most powerful, corrupted by their lust for dominion, had been chained away by the surviving gods. These Chained Gods, sealed beneath sacred stone and eternal wards, were dangerous beyond measure. Yet even in imprisonment, their presence could unravel the world if left unguarded. The remaining gods acted. They created the Virgin Oracles: mortal women untouched by the world, unbound by prior destinies, chosen to act as living anchors and seals for the Chained Gods.

The Oracles

✼　 ҉　 ҉　 ҉　 ҉　✼

★ All Oracles will have forsight. Their gifts will not be preordained . I will let players decide their abilities, choosing what divine favour each Oracle receives.
★ The Oracles are pure in spirit but vulnerable, requiring both guidance and protection to survive the burdens placed upon them.
★ They are trained in sacred rites, prophecy, and divine communion, but they cannot act alone.

Depending on interest, there will three Oracles.

The Guardians

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

☾ To ensure the Oracles’ survival, the gods created Guardians, mortals infused with fragments of divine essence. I will let players decide their abilities.
☾ Each Guardian is bound to a duty: some protect a specific Oracle.
☾ Their task: keep the Oracles alive, and prevent the Chained Gods from awakening.

There will be three guardians in total. I will be playing one and depending on interest, we'll adjust the number of Guardians.

The Rising Threat

——————————

Even with the Chained Gods secured, the old followers did not vanish. Cults and secret orders who once worshiped the corrupted deities plot their release. The Oracles are no longer safe. The chains they protect tremble, the Chained Gods stir in their slumber, and the world’s fragile balance hangs by a thread.

Rules

1. All players are expected to respect each other, if you have an issue with someone, please DM me.
2. You are allowed to play as many characters as you can handle.
3. Please try to post at least once a week(Real life will always come first, just let us know!)
4. Consequences of actions (magical, social, personal) should affect characters realistically.
5. Play within your character’s abilities and limits. No Godmodding! If you're a Guardian, your powers will gradually increase. Don't start off overpowered.
6. Guardians owe unwavering loyalty to their Oracle, but inner conflict and personal growth are encouraged to create dynamic storytelling.
7. An Oracle’s prophetic abilities are tied to her virginity. Losing it causes her visions to fade or vanish entirely. This rule creates tension around purity, sacrifice, and the cost of power. Only her prophetic abilities will be lost.(FTB in forum if you decide to take this character down this road)
8. Contact with artifacts or remnants of the Forbidden Gods corrupts mortals and even Oracles unless properly cleansed by the Oracles.
9. Secrets, hidden motives, and political intrigue are welcome.
10.Prophecies are cryptic and open to interpretation. Avoid metagaming prophecies as absolute truths to allow for mystery and suspense.

I'm also looking for co-gm's to help me out with this. I'll be playing a Guardian, so a co-gm playing an Oracle would also be ideal!

Drop a reply below if you're interested or DM if you'd like to co-gm!

The Oath That Binds: - CLOSED for revamping

Dispatch: Welcome to SDN!

✨Beyond The Veil✨

Casey Mercer

^{____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________}

Location: The Underground• Time: Night

Interactions: Kessler @deegee • Mentions: Kessler @deegee

^{____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________}

It all happened too fast, Kessler pulling away, the music dying mid-note. The silence… then the ripple of red glows across the crowd. Fucking Vampires. A split second later, the crowd erupted into chaos. They vampires were in full bloodlust. “Fuck,” Casey muttered through clenched teeth, her eyes quickly scanning for the nearest exit, and just in time to spot him, a hulking brute of a vampire she’s faced in the cage before, charging straight toward a young human frozen in shock.

Casey moved without thinking. Even in human form, she was fast. She slammed into the brute’s ribs, tackling him to the floor. He snarled as they rolled on the floor fighting for leverage. He was stronger than last time. Hungrier.
The vampire pinned her hard, claws sinking into the flesh of her shoulders. Fire ripped through her nerves. Casey screamed, pain and fury mixing, vibrating through her bones. Her wolf clawed at her insides, begging to shift, to tear him apart, but shifting now would burn through a lot of stamina. Being pack less had it's perks, but it also had it’s faults, a fact she was not ready to admit, but she felt it recently in every cage match, depleting strength.

He drove his claws deeper. Casey cried out again, then on instinct she bucked hard, twisting her hips the way she learned in the cage. The brute toppled sideways, giving Casey the chance to jump to her feet.
She remembered his weak points, the way his knee gave out if hit just right. She slammed her elbow into the ribs, then before he could recover, she pivoted and drove her heel into his knee. It cracked. The vampire collapsed, hissing and shrieking, and Casey staggered back, bleeding but standing. Her wolf surged beneath her skin. She wasn’t done yet.


“Get the fuck out of here!” she snapped, shoving the young man toward the exit, not hard, but just enough to jolt him into motion. He stumbled, then bolted as the chaos swallowed him.
Casey barely had time to turn back before the brute was back on his feet. He came at her with a roar, his claws grazed her cheek, just enough to draw blood, just enough to sting and just enough to piss her off. He lunged again, fangs snapping inches from her throat.
Casey ducked quickly, rolling her shoulder to dodge the bite. Her fist slammed into his gut with a satisfying thud, but before he can fold, she followed up with an uppercut that cracked his jaw and forced him back. The vampire recovered quickly, the bloodlust alone driving him, he snarled at her.

Beast vs beast. That was the only way this ended.

Her muscles coiled. Her senses sharpened. The wolf inside her pressed hard against her skin, begging to be unleashed. The brute charged again, but this time Casey didn’t retreat.
A growl ripped from her chest. Her spine arched, her bones cracked. Heat poured through her limbs as muscles stretched, teared, and reformed. Black and white fur burst across her skin. The burn of the shift was agony and relief all at once.
Casey launched herself forward, a blur of black and white fur and raw fury. She slammed into him with the full weight of her Lycan form, sending him crashing into the end of the bar, wood splintering under impact.
Her lips peeled back over her canines while a snarl rumbled in her chest, saliva dripping from her fangs, her last warning before she went in for the kill

Her jaws clamped onto his abdomen, teeth sinking through skin and muscle, until they finally hit the soft heat of his innards. She ripped her head sideways, tearing out a chunk of flesh and intestine. Her claws followed, slashing into the rest of his stomach with savagery. She dug deeper, rendering his flesh like soaked fabric. Her claws hooked around something soft and slick, she pulled without hesitation, tearing it free.

The vampire convulsed on the floor, but Casey was beyond thought, there was nothing but instinct and rage and the will to survive. Her growl deepened as she teared another handful of flesh away, her muzzle drenched, her breath hot and heavy. The vampire tried to push her off, but he was done, his strength bleeding out onto the floor.

She shifted back, her body snapping and folding in on itself until she was human again. Her white wifebeater hanged off her in bloody tatters, soaked through with both her blood and the vampire’s. Her face still coated in his warm, sticky blood that smeared down her neck and jaw. She dragged the back of her arm across her mouth, her hands still drenched in blood up to her wrists.

“Piece of shit,” she growled, spitting a thick mix of saliva and blood onto the fallen vampire at her feet.
Her breathing was ragged. Her shoulders burned where his claws dug deep. She lifted her head, scanning the room for her own kind. Packless or not, she knew the truth: a lone wolf dies fast in a swarm like this. She needed other Lycans. And she needed them now.

The Garden That Knew My Name[[21+ An epic gothic(kinda) romance (and smutty) in modern times, inspired by Dracula)

About Me

Welcome
To my little Paradise

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

Call me Fran or Frankie, whatever name I've gathered over the years! I'm 25+ and a lady. I'm a huge romance reader, and a good romance is my favourite part of any story. All my stories have romance, and with romance, I expect there will be sexual content. Our roleplay can be as dark and tragic as you want! Tragedy adds character! I enjoy smut as much as anyone else, but I also want to build a world together and have a steamy plot. I'm not interested in writing only smut. I need chemistry between our characters. Just ask me and I'll tell you what I'm not comfortable writing. I do MXF, and I play females. Share you thoughts, I'm open to anything.

Every night in her dreams, she found herself walking through the same garden, dancing beneath the silver glow of moonlight, and of a man always just out of reach. Each morning, she woke remembering only fragments, fleeting glimpses of him, and the echo of his soft voice.

As her soul begins to awaken and the memories of her past life slowly return to her, she whispers his ancient name in her dreams, the one no mortal should know, calling to his soul and awakening a love that has slumbered for centuries.

Unable to resist, he watches her from afar, and sending her hand written letters.. beautiful, haunting, and filled with truths she cannot yet fully understand. Each word draws her closer, unraveling the mystery of their connection and the timeless bond that neither life nor death could sever.

On the night of her fiancé’s charity gala, fate intertwines. She meets the man who has haunted her beautiful dreams, and something deep and ancient sparks between them, where a love once lost across time stirs anew.

I watched Dracula: A Love Tale recently, and it's inspired me to write(and crave)a story about eternal yearning for a love that transcends death and time.

We don't have to follow this exactly, just what's come to mind thus far! DM if you're interested and share your thoughts.

Note: I of course I enjoy writing and reading smut as much as anyone else as long as it doesn't overshadow everything else.
(also writing on 4 hours of sleep excuse grammatical errors)
