《STRAWBERRY WINE -corpse husband-》HICKIES (19)
Advertisement
Madison had a thing for showing up at Corpse's apartment unannounced.
Apparently.
She was surprised he even let her inside, but here they were, awkwardly sitting on his couch in silence.
"So..." he started, but really had nothing to say. Corpse had said all he could, and honestly the ball was in Madison's court.
"Um..." she began, keeping her hands in her lap and her head down. "I- you.... Corpse, I love you."
She didn't think saying it would solve all of the problems she had created in the days she wasn't talking to him, but if she could tell him she loved him, at least that part was out in the open. The feelings were mutual; they both knew that now, making it a relatively level playing field.
"I love you, too, but Maddie," Corpse groaned and sighed. "Maddie, that doesn't mean that its okay to ignore me for days to figure that out."
"I know, and I understand if you're unsure now..."
"No, I... I'm not unsure. I just want to know that you're not going to run away every time we have an argument, or something embarrassing happens, or anything slightly inconvenient happens to us. I can't... I can't have you picking and choosing when you want to be in a relationship and when you don't want to be an adult enough to deal with things."
Madison was crying silently, unable to look at him. She knew he was right. She wasn't ready for a relationship, and she was too immature to treat Corpse how he needed to be treated. She knew it was probably time for her to return to therapy so she could figure herself out, but she dreaded the idea of leaving Corpse and ending this all now.

"I understand," she whispered, tears still falling.
Corpse pulled her into his arms, letting her sob into his chest for a few minutes. He kissed her head, and ran his fingers down her back, knowing she just needed to let it all out. When she started to calm down, he tried to reassure her that this was for the best, and they would figure it out one day.
"Baby, I'm not saying I don't want to do this with you. I do love you, more than you know," he said quietly. "I come with a lot too. My health problems, Maddie.... shit, there's too many to even explain to you. I know I'm a lot, and I take a lot of care. Some days I can't move. Most days, I can't speak, but I want to figure all of that out with you around to see it. The greatest thing about us is both of us have to work on ourselves. And I know I'd rather do that together."
She nodded against his chest, trying to find her composure. She tilted her head up, tears running down her cheeks. She kept a hand on his cheek as she leaned in to give him a small kiss. He pulled her in tighter, holding her flush against him, her legs finding their way around his waist, her chest against his. After she tried to pull away, Corpse grabbed the back of her head, gripping his hands into her hair and pulled her back to him. His hand found it's way to her hip, squeezing her.
He kissed her deeply, slowly opening her lips up more to him. Their hands roamed each other, Madison tugging on his hair gently. After a few long moments, Madison tried to pull away, causing Corpse to use the hand in her hair to keep her lips against his. After a few seconds of her losing her breath, Corpse tugged her back, pulling her hair slightly to expose her neck to him.

"I'm not done," he muttered, before kissing her neck, sucking and biting gently, causing tiny speckles of red to appear against her otherwise flawless skin. As he continued, she subconsciously grinded her body against his, letting out tiny moans and squeals with every bite.
He held her tighter, prohibiting her from moving anymore, as he continued to leave hickies on her. They were just red enough to that they wouldn't stay for longer than a day, but he was proud of them, kissing each one, before capturing her lips in his. They were panting, foreheads against each other's.
"I missed you," Corpse said, and laughed.
"I could tell," Madison was blushing deeply.

The Calculator - Supervillainess Time Loop
What makes a terrifying villain? Is it ruthlessness? Is it how powerful they are and how many buildings they can down in one blow? Is it how hard they are to kill, contain, or get rid of in any manner? Is it their knowledge of a hero’s true identity in a world where secrets must be kept? Or is it perhaps how they seem to be perfect in all their actions, defeating the hero at every step of the way throughout to the last one, only to humiliate them one last time before declaring themselves the winner in the grand scheme of things? Isabella Blair is perfect. She knows all your moves before you even make them. All your ambushes are faced with traps and she dodges all your blows like it’s child’s play. Catching her is impossible because she’s always ten steps ahead of you. She says she calculated everything, but she messes up in every fight. She loses far more than she wins, sometimes a hundred times for just one small victory. Yet, she is perfect. How is that possible, you may ask. That’s because she has the uncanny ability to return to the past whenever she makes a mistake. All that’s left in the end can only be what’s perfect if all the realities in which you’ve lost are gone, after all. And that makes for one hell of a terrifying profile. Crossposting on ScribbleHub, SpaceBattles, and Wattpad. Don't mind the "Pre-Rewrite" Volume. It is there for reference until the story catches up to the chapter count via the Rewrite (and to justify the current reviews as there would be no context to them otherwise). If you are a first-time reader, feel free to start from the other Volume.

Sanguis
In a world inhabited by vampires, various factions are vying for dominance, whether through wars or grueling tournaments. In the midst of the conflict, two unsuspecting humans become caught in the battle. Note: My first story on here, I wanted to try writing a story with battles and leveling up, the kind of story where a character starts at the bottom and world their way up. I hope this story is a good chance to see what works and try out a few different ideas I’ve had.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
