#WIPSnips - October 11, 2026

Apparently, even a 4.5K-year-old ancient vampire that could eviscerate humanity in mere hours can get just as jealous as a teenager.

#TheRomanticTalesSeries #OwnVoice #WritingCommunity

Noble looked uncomfortable, I could tell from his body language before I even looked at his face. He was standing at the bar, talking to some woman who looked like she was pretty close to him, her hand on his chest. I was trying to be civil and let him do whatever the hell it was he was doing, but I couldn’t stop the growl that left my lips multiple times every single time she laughed at one of his jokes. That fake laugh that everyone knew was not real. I decided I could not take anymore, I may be over 4.5 thousand years old but I could still be jealous like a fucking teenager. “I hope I am not interrupting anything. I was just hoping to take my dinner partner back to the table to discuss our plans for tonight.” Noble looks ... relieved as I get to them. “Nyx.” He says my name is a tone that tightens my chest, like I am the only thing he wants to see right now. “Nyx, this is my cousin, Amyrth. She was just telling me about how my father might be in town and he wants to meet for dinner some night.” “My my. Look at you, you are very cute. Very mysterious. I love the long hair. It makes you look like .. Lestat.” Did she seriously just compare me to that ... prick?

I made this mood board for Daelan and Daxton. I choose minimalistic continuous line art because it is a cozy romance and minimalism seems cozy to me.

Anyway. I think it is adorable!

#WIPSnips - October 10, 2026

A new friend needs photographs for his photography course. He asks Daelan and Daxton to be his models. Daelan is just being his usual sickly (but adorably) romantic self.

#TheRomanticTalesSeries #OwnVoice #WritingCommunity

Daelan gives him a mock salute, “Yes, Sir!” He takes my hand as we walk ahead. He doesn’t even seem phased that someone is right behind us taking pictures of us together. “You’re so calm.” I mention quietly, gripping his hand a little tighter. “Aren’t you uncomfortable at all?” He shakes his head, “Nah. I’m just here with the man I am so, hopelessly in love with. You’re the only thing I see right now, Dax. The whole world is just a fuzzy blur of colours when I look at you.” I let out a small, disbelieving laugh. “Shut up.” The smile on his face could kill. “It’s true.” He pulls me a little closer, his arm wrapping around my waist and his hand going into my front pocket. I shiver slightly at the possessive gesture. This man isn’t afraid to tell the world that I’m his. I feel so warm and protected in his embrace, like I know nothing is going to hurt me. We walk through the botanical gardens, stopping every so often to read the descriptions of the plants, his arm never leaving my waist and his hand never leaving my pocket. I have long since forgotten that Bradley is following us and taking pictures of our moments, they feel completely natural as we walk through the winding paths.

Theo, one of Eron's right-hand people, is discussing the raid on a strip club owned by a newer mafia organization in the city.

#TheRomanticTalesSeries #OwnVoice #WritingCommunity

Theo adjusted his tie as he walked into the study. “Sir.” His voice was cool and collected, just like I had always known Theo to be. “How many times do I have to tell you that it is ‘Eron’ to you? ‘Sir’ is so ... formal and weirdly BDSM-y.” That got a look from Enzo that was something between amusement and surprise, “Everyone calls you ‘Sir’, Eron. Like, literally, all of your men. I can’t think of one of them that calls you your name.” He pauses, “And lives to tell the tale that is.” Theo clears his throat, “Sir... Eron... the raid is happening at the strip club in Devensport. Are you sure you want to be there for it? It could get ugly. This new organization doesn’t seem to understand the rules of this city yet. They will kill you on sight if needed.” I shake my hand dismissively, “It’s fine. They are small-timers, Theo. We send ten or so of us there and decimate them almost immediately.” Enzo lets out a soft groan. “God, you’re so hot when you sound so confident. I’m currently forgetting to be worried.”

Eron refused to be bested by those damn carnival games. He was winning Enzo that giant stuffed animal ... even if his methods became extreme.

#TheRomanticTalesSeries #OwnVoice #WritingCommunity

“Are you having a good time, Enzo?” I asked him as I held the giant lizard stuffed animal I won for him at the shooting game. Enzo gives me a side-glance, “It would have been better to have won that stuffed animal without pulling out your real gun.” I give him a mock-indignant look. “Listen to me, they rig those games, they don’t want you to win, they don’t make money that way. Even if these stuffed animals can be bought for five dollars from China.” I shift my head to look at him, “That fucking carny was laughing at me. ME. Eron Wolfe. It was humiliating. At least I shot the targets and not the man himself.” “That was so reassuring, Eron.” Although he is trying to be firm, he can’t help but smile a shy, soft smile. “Ok, it is really cute though, look at its tongue, it is sticking out. He looks happy.” “And had I not shot those targets with my real gun, we would be walking away both humiliated. You wouldn’t have your stuffed animal and I would have had to explain to Theo why the Wolfe Pack needs to burn down the carnival. Not a good look for either of us.”

Noble and Nyx have just done some training with Nyx absolutely annihilating Noble. And now Noble is finding out about Nyx's ~*other*~ form.

#TheRomanticTalesSeries #OwnVoice #WritingCommunity

“Ok, I don’t understand.” Noble lies on the ground, panting, his chest heaving up and down, his sword long lost during the training session. “We both have supernatural abilities, but you just kicked my ass all the way to Timbuktu and then back. That was ... insane, Nyx.” “That isn’t a very fair comparison to you, Noble.” I kneel next to him, a sly smile on my lips, “I am an ancient vampire and you are simply a vampire hunter. While the Lodge imbues you with powers, it cannot compare to the dark magic used to create me.” “Fucking dark magic bullshit.” He sits up, looking at me with narrowed eyes, “It must be nice to not have to work for the power you were given. Here you are just la-dee-da, I am an ancient vampire who can boil your blood and blah blah blah.” I can tell from his tone he is mostly joking. “And to think, I didn’t even take on my vampiric form, which actually enables me to be about five or six times stronger.” Noble’s eyes open wide as he stares at me. “Wait ... sorry, did I hear you correctly. Vampire Form?” He stares at me, unblinking.

Zeke is being ~*exactly*~ as one would expect as a cat shapeshifter.

(This scene is adorable and I hope you love it as much as I do - especially those with vocal cats like me)

#TheRomanticTalesSeries #OwnVoice #WritingCommunity

Zeke was laying on the bed on his back, his head hanging over the side of the bed as he groaned about being hungry. I was in the kitchen, trying not to laugh at his antics, but it was kind of funny, he was a shapeshifting cat that was begging for food. I have had enough cats in my life to know that is just a thing. “Zaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkkkkkk.” I hear him groan from the bedroom. “I am hungry. It’s like I am wasting away to nothing before my own eyes. I can see my RIBS, Zakk!” I snicker to myself as quietly as possible, trying not to encourage him. “Are you ... are you LAUGHING at me?” He steps out of the room, an irritated look on his face. “I am dying and wasting away to nothing and you are LAUGHING at me?” He points his finger at me. “What kind of ... owner are you?” “You ate like, four hours ago, Zeke. I am making us some chicken fried rice. It will be ready soon.” “Wait, I am starving and wasting away and you are making me RICE?” He looks indignant.

This is actually the first time Daelan and Daxton had sex. Daelan is being a love-smitten puppy dog right now.

#TheRomanticTalesSeries #OwnVoice #WritingCommunity

“Right.” He says quietly, a few moments passing before he opens his eyes. “Alright, I’ll get the spare set of sheets they left downstairs and meet you in the shower.” He gets up and heads down the stairs with sluggish movements, I feel bad but I know he doesn’t want to wake up cemented to the sheets either. I strip the bed and put the dirty laundry in the bathtub before heading downstairs to the bathroom. A few minutes after starting the water, Daelan walks into the bathroom. He looks me up and down and suddenly the tired looks like it has left him. “Well hey there, handsome. What’s a guy like you doing in a place like this?” He leans against the wall with his hand, a goofy grin on his face. “Oh my god.” I hide my face in my hands, “Just get in the fucking shower you goofball.” I step inside the walk-in shower, motioning him to join me with a crooked finger. “Come on, loverboy.” “Yeah, I’m the only fucking goofball here.” He steps in behind me. As we finish the shower and head back upstairs, we crawl into bed after assembling the new sheets. He pulls me into his embrace, pressing my back against his chest, “Goodnight, baby boy.” He whispers in my ear before kissing my shoulder.

(Meet one of my newer couples - Jayden & Josh)

Jayden and Josh are looking at moving into a 24/7 D/s relationship. 'The Circle' is the exclusive group that Josh is part of. They keep each other in check.

#TheRomanticTalesSeries #OwnVoice #WritingCommunity

I sat at the dining room table, trying to find something to calm the accelerated beating of my heart in my vhest. He looked absored in writing, but I was sure he could hear it. I could hear it in my ears, making everything else sound fuzzy. “How did you sleep?” Josh asked without even looking up. He was forcused on the paper in front of him. “Uh, I slept well... Sir.” I add the title at the end, still not confident in my use of it. I flex my fingers together nervously as I watch him. “It was a little weird having the heat on.” “Excellent.” I watch as he shuffles the papers toward me. “This is a contract, Jayden. It stipulates all of the things we will be discussing. I want to go over it with you, clause-by-clause, word-by-word so you understand it completely.” I look down at the document in front of me, “Wow, this is really ... professional.” “The Circle doesn’t take this kind of thing lightly, Jayden. We are not a bunch of amateurs that think this is something ‘fun’ to do in our spare time.”

Daelan and Daxton were upgraded to the honeymoon suite due to overbooking. It is not the standard double room Daelan requested.

#TheRomanticTalesSeries #OwnVoice #WritingCommunity

I can tell from the look on his face, he is just as mesmerized, “Wow. This is much different from what I had originally booked. Do you see this staircase? It is SPIRAL. I have never, in my entire existence, ever been somewhere that has a spiral staircase. That shit is for the movies or something.” I watch as he ascends the staircase, twisting all the way up. “Holy shit, Daxton.” He looks over the railing of the loft wall, “Free fucking champagne, and it is the good stuff. There’s also a bunch of rose petals everywhere. Very romantic.” “It is the honeymoon suite.” I snort-laugh, “It would be kind of weird if there weren’t some perks for having this room.” I start up the stairwell when I hear a popping sound. “You’re opening it, aren’t you?” I get to the top of the stairs to see him pouring two glasses. “Unless they do that so you drink it and then they charge you five-hundred percent of its value… Seriously Daelan? What if that two-hundred dollar bottle of champagne is now like … a thousand dollars?” I put my hands on my hips as I gave him a stern look. He turns around with a sheepish grin on his face, “I hope not because there is no way this liquid is going back in that bottle. Not happening.” He walks over and hands me a glass, “Might as well enjoy it then, no?”

Noble and Nyx have started their journey in ending the existence of the other Originals who want to enslave the human race. The first one they target is Nyx's sister, Nikita.

#TheRomanticTalesSeries #OwnVoice #WritingCommunity

Nikita growled, looking over at Noble. “Why does the human male smell like you, Nyx? What have you done?” Her claws protracted out of her hand a whole foot. She slammed her hand against the metal door, leaving a pretty substantial dent. “Did you bond with him?” I stepped in front of Noble, growling right back at her, a fierce need to protect him surging throughout every vein in my body. “That is none of your business, Nikita. I am not here to discuss my life with you.” Her laugh echoed against the walls of the facility, “Of course not, brother. You never had much interest in having the familiar bond the rest of us had.” As she moved forward, her eyes started glowing a deep red. “I suppose I can pay you back for when you killed Estevon. I felt that pain for years.” My own claws protracted as I watched her carefully, “He was a menace to our kind, nothing more. You knew I couldn’t let him live after what he did to that monastery.” Nikita shrieked, lunging forward to take a swipe at the both of us.

(I may have posted something similar to this...😅)

Yuri has finally found the source of the scent he picked up weeks ago. Turns out it was another person - who seems to have had a run-in with someone or something.

#TheRomanticTalesSeries #OwnVoice #WritingCommunity

I start running, catching up to him as he is trying to crawl down to the river bank, my hand wrapping around his ankles and pulling him back up. He claws at the ground, screaming as I pull him up. “No! Please! Stop!” He lets out a loud but petrified growl, “I didn’t do anything! Leave me alone.” He dangles in the air by his foot, swaying as he tries to get out of my grip. I can smell him now more than ever, this is the scent I was looking for, this was the person I was looking for these last few weeks. He looks hurt, dirty, and hungry. He tries to take a few swipes at me, his claws extended slightly, but he is weak and can’t reach me properly. “You.” I sniff the air around him, the scent plain as day.I look him in the eyes, seeing the fear, but also seeing the exhaustion that has taken him over. I see the rip in his clothing, a large injury on his abdomen. “What happened to you?” He struggles for a few more minutes before giving up, a look of resignation hitting his features, “Just kill me, please. Don’t take me back to them, I will do anything.” His voice sounds so defeated, which causes my chest to tighten in sadness.

Daelan and Daxton are having a conversation about their life choices, specifically about children. Daelan is being a (loveable) shithead.

#TheRomanticTalesSeries #OwnVoice #WritingCommunity

“You don’t strike me as the ‘have kids’ kind of guy. Or maybe I am mistaken.” His eyes widen as he starting stumbling on his words , “Sorry, that sounded awful. I’m not saying you would be a bad dad or anything and if you want kids, that’s super cool. You just never seemed like the type to want kids. But, I guess that would have changed in the last six years…” He is rambling and I find myself with a small smile on my face despite myself. “Nah, you aren’t wrong. Child-Free by choice. I am a pretty good uncle, but I don’t think I want to have little me’s running around and making the same mistakes I made. Mom always said I was a terror in my toddler years, she said when I have kids they will pay me back in spades.” I let out a genuine laugh, which catches me off guard, “I think she is disappointed I decided not to have children, because now I won’t feel the terrible two’s like she did.” He rolls his eyes, “You were a terror even when you were a teenager.” The smile on his face is subtle but I know he is teasing me, “It’s probably a good thing you don’t have children, you would age twenty years in the span of five years.” I reach over and playfully shove him, “Fuck you, Daelan. I was a god damn gem. If I was so bad, why did we spend so much time together?” I give him a knowing look, a sly smile resting on my lips.

Andrew just made a proposition to his best friend, Aaron. Aaron doesn't know how to handle this request.

#TheRomanticTalesSeries #OwnVoice #WritingCommunity

“Aaron? Are you awake?” His voice gently wakes me up, I look over from my sleeping position on my back, he is looking at me as he is propped up on an elbow. He looks like he just had a ‘come to Jesus moment’. “Kind of, what time is it?” “It’s three in the morning. I had an idea, but before you answer … hear me out, completely. No interjecting with your thoughts half way through.” He gives me this look he’s been giving me since we were kids, the look like I am about to argue with him, but he knows me pretty well. I roll my eyes but sit up, “Fine. I will shut my big fucking mouth until you’re done. But, you know I hate when you start off a conversation like that.” He sits up as well, “Yeah yeah. You know what you do, don’t make me say it out loud.” He turns to look at me, sitting crossed-legged on the bed. “What if, instead of trying to cancel this honeymoon and shit… you come with me instead?” My eyes are now fully open as I stare at him, trying to process what exactly was happening, what he was asking. I sat there for a few minutes, my brain trying to figure out the proper thing to say without sounding like a crazy person.

Just a cute little scene between these men running through an airport like teenagers. This scene just makes me smile.

#TheRomanticTalesSeries #OwnVoice #WritingCommunity

“Race you to the gate.” Before I can even respond, he is already booking it through the airport. I let out a surprised, joyful laugh as I started jogging to catch up with him, “Hey! No fair. You cheated.” I weave through the crowds, slipping in between people and service animals, a stupid grin on my face as I laugh. I trail behind him a bit as we get to our destination gate. I’m panting softly, the stupid, boyish grin not leaving my face. “You didn’t win fair and square, asshole.” He lets out this breathless laugh, a smile lighting up his whole face, “You were the one in track and field, what happened to your record-breaking speed, Daxton? Old age catching up with you?” “Old age!?” I act mock offended. “I’ll have you know I haven’t even reached my prime yet.” I playfully nudge him as he walks to the counter, handing the gate attendant his boarding pass. I follow suit before heading into the plane with him. We find our seats, business-class again, and sit down. “Okay, you said you also brought Maximum Overdrive, don’t think I forgot, we are definitely watching that.”

Enzo and Eron are off to a charity event. Enzo is taking his sweet ass time. Eron is being surprisingly patient with Enzo.

#TheRomanticTalesSeries #OwnVoice #WritingCommunity

“Enzo!” I yelled from the bottom of the stairs, trying not to sound too annoyed with the delay. “You look fine, get down here so we can go. We’re going to be late.” Enzo appeared at the top of the stairs wearing the tailored suit we had just purchased. “My my, Enzo, you look absolutely ravishing. I think I am going to be the envy of everyone at this party.” A small sound between a giggle and a groan came out of Enzo’s lips. “Shut up. You say that regardless of what I wear.” “And regardless of what you wear, you are the most gorgerous man in any room. Are you ready to go or do I have to come up there and get you? I cannot promise if I do, we shall leave right away either.” Enzo playfully rolled his eyes as he started down the steps, “I just got dressed and now you want to undress me? Eron, please.” As Enzo got to the bottom of the steps, I nipped at his bottom lip, “You’re most gorgeous when you’re naked.”

Kennedy, Knox, and Kyle are having a very close call with the police right now. The situation looks dire, yet somehow, Kennedy and Knox still find time to joke around.

#TheRomanticTalesSeries #OwnVoice #WritingCommunity

“What are they doing?” I was leaned up against the other side of the window, observing the police talk to the owner of the motel. They had been in there for almost twenty minutes. “We should have left last night. We messed up. How do we fix this?” Kyle’s brows were furrowed as he typed on his laptop, “They were at least a weeks drive away when we got here there is no way that caught up this quick. Do you think the motel manager said something?” I looked over at Kyle, “Probably. Did you see the latest numbers for information on us? It’s up to like, three million or something.” Kyle’s eyes snapped up at me, “You sound impressed? Why are you impressed?” “I don’t know, that seems like a lot of money to catch the three of us.” “Do you think that’s all together or per person?” Kennedy, who had been dead quiet spoke up, “Because if it’s three million a piece, that’s a pretty hefty price tag for our heads. That would be impressive, my mom would be proud.”

Yuri just learned from Yohan that he has a twin brother, York, and that he is Yuri's second mate. Yuri is determined to get him out Dark Fang territory.

#TheRomanticTalesSeries #OwnVoice #WritingCommunity

I looked at Merick, a sullen frown on my face. “His brother is still there. His twin brother.” Merick’s face went through several different emotions - surprise, disgust, anger - before landing on resolute. “What are you planning?” One thing I could also count of Merick for was support, regardless of what was happening at the current time and point. “I think it is time to end the Dark Fang nation, would you not agree?” I took the knife from my pocket and stuck it on the map right through their territory. “I want what is mine and I am willing to take it with any force necessary. If I have to kill every single Dark Fang alpha in order to bring home my omega mate, I will.” “You already have a mate.” I snapped, “It is one of the same, Merick. Both of them are mine. Dark Fang currently has something the belongs to me and I want it back. Are you with me in this or are you out?” “Yuri.” Merick gently spoke, “I will always be with you. Let’s go retrieve your second mate.”

#TheRomanticTalesSeries #OwnVoice #WritingCommunity

Noble was quiet, looking over the plans sitting on the dining room table, the fire crackling behind him as his mouth moved as he read the words. “Do you always move your mouth when you read, hunter?” Noble’s eyes snapped up, an unamused look on his face as he stared at me. “It helps me memorize the words.” “Is it because you’re still so young?” His jaw tightened as his eyes narrowed, “I am 245 years old, vampire. I am not a child.” “And I am 4,505 years old. To me, everyone is a child.” I gave him a cheeky grin as I watched him scoff. “Whatever. You asked me to come here. Now you insult me?” “No, I asked you not to meddle in my personal affairs, you wouldn’t leave well enough alone, so here we are.“ He had no retort, he only grumbled in response.

Daxton is admitting to his sister and Daelan's best friend some information she did not see coming. I like this scene, I think it is kind of adorable and shows the positive relationship between Daxton and Steph.

#TheRomanticTalesSeries #OwnVoice #WritingCommunity

I don’t catch myself as I watch him walk, how he kneels down with Den and Ava and just … exists. And he’s mine. He’s my boyfriend. This man is … mine. Steph does though, she catches on quicker than a turtle on a skateboard as she follows me gaze to exactly where I am looking. “Is there something on your mind, Daxton?” Her voice is teasing but with a warm under it all. “You looking at anything … specific?” “We’re dating.” The words tumble out before I can think them over. Immediately, within probably half a millisecond, I look over at her and let out an awkward half-laugh that doesn’t quite land fully. “Fuck. Yeah. We’re dating.” Steph just looks at me, her mouth half-hung open. I can almost see the cogs trying to turn in her head, the little people that work in her brain are trying to get the system back online. There is a silence that drags on forever, which starts to make me nervous. And then, as quickly as it started, she let out an ear-piercing squeal, knocking the chair over as she tackled me in mine, her arms wrapping around me in a hug I didn’t know she had the strength for. “You are NOT!”
