    Summary

    The Moon Knight system heads to San Diego's Hillcrest Farmers Market to further explore the city they now call home, do a little shopping, and relax before Marc finally tells Jack about his brothers. A new acquaintance steers events in a different direction.


    Buckle up, everyone. This is the long-awaited DID reveal. It's not going to be pretty, but there will be a happy ending.

    Vi and I are going for maximum drama while keeping things in character. The angst is deliberate. Characters may not react to the reveal in "appropriate" ways which IMO is fine because this is fiction. That said, there won't be cruelty or abuse.

    Without further ado, on with the show!

    Summary

    Jack and Elsa are invited to spend an entire weekend with Jack's family... because large family gatherings never lead to stress or drama, right? Right?

    Summary

    Marc and Jack have a lot of splainin' to do after the events of the first two stories in this series, "Those Who Wander" and "Unannounced." With the exception of the system's DID, all of the secrets are out. The region's organized crime group is furious, the alpha of the Russell werewolf clan downright livid, and Khonshu is Khonshu.

    Angst and drama, anyone? Pistachio-raspberry croissants will be ready shortly.

    The happy, bouncy Nik Kershaw song "Wounded" suits the Moon Doofs at the start of the story.

    (We're not hawking a book. I made a cover illustration for funsies.)


    This is such an alternate universe. It's 2010, the system and Jack are in their late 20s in San Diego, and my co-author vicarious-rebel and I have done a number on their backstories. Fun!

    Summary

    The Moon Knight system, now living in San Diego, decides to get back to nature after a mission investigating a human trafficking ring. Hiking in a national park in the mountains east of San Diego doesn't go as planned.

    Depending on which of the moon boys you ask, Marc may or may not have gotten lost in the wilderness. Fortunately a cute park ranger named Jack Russell found them. (He did not rescue them, Marc says.) Hijinks ensue.


    This is such an alternate universe. Seriously. It doesn't get much AU-ier than this! It's 2010, the system and Jack are in their late 20s, and my co-author vicarious-rebel and I have done a number on their backstories. Fun!

    So everyone knows up front: this story will stay rated Teen. It's straight-up sappy, silly romance with dashes of angst.

    Violence is in two chapters. It's clear when it's coming. Blood and gore are in one chapter only, which has a trigger warning at the start of it.

    Here's a YouTube playlist because I listen to a ton of music. The genres range from rock to pop to electronica.

    Summary

    After a few days of rest following the trials Elsa, Jack, James, and Lissa endured thanks to magic gone wrong, Jack has arranged a long-promised trip to celebrate his mate's birthday. With the full moon almost upon them, the couple intends to forget the secretive group pursuing them for the time of being. What could possibly go wrong?


    This is the final story of the Bittersweet Symphony series. I'll pay off a bunch of stuff set up over the past 100k words. (I can hardly believe it's gone this long!)

    Summary

    The Russell werewolf clan east of San Diego needs someone to dress up and hang the Christmas piñata during the family holiday gathering. Who better to get the job done than Marc Spector, who despises being the center of attention but his mate Jack talked him into it so now he's doomed. Dooooomed!


    This utterly absurd bit of Christmas fluff is set in an alternate universe that my co-author vicarious-rebel and I dreamed up. The Moon Knight system and Jack Russell have had an easier time of things, and found each other in the San Diego area in 2010. This story takes place a few years after that one.

    Summary

    Somehow the most downtrodden and vulnerable members of the supernatural community have discovered Jack Russell, whose hands are almost as bloody as his enormously soft heart, and designated him as their landing spot of last resort.

    Summary

    The Everglades, Florida, 1971: The Man-Thing previously known as Theodore 'Ted' Sallis continues his lonely existence in the Nexus, content to live through his cycles of broken memories until the end of time, that is until a chance meeting with the 'Werewolf By Night', Jack Russell, throws his entire nightly routine off. But Jack has his own problems to deal with, between managing a family curse, reconciling with his long-lost sister, and making a monster support group, he hardly has time for loneliness, despite its persistent presence in his life. Maybe what both these monsters need is something stronger than ancient magic: friendship. Join me in uncovering how these two besties met for the first time, with a little bit of Elsa Bloodstone backstory thrown in for some extra spice.

    Summary

    Since my husband has some long road trips this summer and likes audiobooks, I recorded the flashback part of "Once" (chapters 2 - 17) so he can listen to it while driving. It turned out well, especially for an amateur who's never done this before!

    The link to download the mp3s is below. All total it's four hours long.

    Summary

    After fleeing the Bloodstone estate in Arizona to evade the mysterious group pursuing them, Elsa and Jack drive to Los Angeles to visit Jack's sister Lissa and her husband Adam. Along the way Jack is reminded of a significant chapter of his life. Elsa didn't miss his reaction and wants to know more. Jack tells his mate about the tumultuous events that occurred on and following his eighteenth birthday 24 years earlier.


    This fic is a story-in-a-story. If you're familiar with the Werewolf by Night special, you know what "Once" refers to. That's the inner story, which spans chapters 2 - 17. To follow the outer story, read the previous fics in this series.

    If you'd like to listen to the flashback part of the story, mp3s of those chapters are available.

    The vast majority of this story is suitable for Teen And Up audiences. I bumped it to Mature due to aspects of chapters 3, 4, and one other.

    I've tagged this "Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence" because my cherry-picking of comics canon and making up stuff kicks into high gear.

    Summary

    He makes his way further down the road, where the houses are thicker than they are on the far end behind him. They don’t touch, not this far from the town center, but the gaps between the structures grow smaller with each that he passes. It’s a little difficult to push away the urge to duck into one of them to shelter from the sharp breeze. But Jack doesn’t plan on staying long; he’s a stranger here, and it’s better that way.
    .
    .
    Once he gathers the courage to send the first letter, they begin to come in after each full moon, telling of tales no one would believe had they not seen the impossible with their own eyes.

    Or, five letters that Jack Russell sends to his sister, and one time he gets a reply.

    Summary

    “I’ll tell you a story.”

    “Please no, I’ve heard…” Jack digs his nails into his palms and forces himself calm again, “I’ve heard enough.”

    But everyone seems intent on telling him every tale without actually saying anything. Philip gives him a long look and his face hardens. “If you’re saying that then you haven’t. You have to know. You have to remember.”

    ~
    Jack goes to a family reunion and hears a couple of stories. And tries to understand something he's never been told.
