Nocturne Protocol

GLUTTONYPIE
“Monsters wear many faces. Some smile. Some moan. Some hide behind a badge.” In the retro-futuristic sprawl of Gravesend City, corruption oozes through its steel veins. Crime has evolved—so has pleasure, so has pain. Beneath the mask of order, demons walk in heels, shadows whisper in tongues, and power seduces those too broken to resist. Enter Asher Blackwood — a washed-up detective with a haunted past, a dry wit, and a growing secret. His power? Unstable. His morality? Negotiable. His enemies? Not quite human. As strange events unravel across the city—from haunted brothels to twisted political games—Asher is forced into a spiraling mystery. One that teases his trauma, toys with his lust, and pushes him toward truths far darker than the alleys he calls home. Flirtatious succubi. Scheming elites. Broken oaths. Forbidden power. Every choice tempts him. Every clue costs him. Every pleasure corrupts. And the worst part? The deeper he digs, the more he suspects… he’s part of the problem. Features: Urban mystery with creeping horror and erotic tension Slow-burn power progression from city-level to cosmic chaos Flawed but intelligent male lead Bold female characters with actual agency Foreshadowing, plot twists, and a creeping sense of dread—hidden under neon lights

Outlawed Desires: Beyond the Chains

Asher Carter has spent his entire life hiding his true self. In Eldermire—a town ruled by the iron grip of the Council of Purity—being different is dangerous, and some kinds of love are a crime that can cost you everything. Orphaned young and raised under the council’s suffocating laws, Asher has learned that survival means keeping his head down. By day, he works as a waiter at The Gilded Spoon, an elite café where the town’s powerful gather. By night, he dreams of a life where he doesn’t have to pretend. Then there’s Malcolm Hayes—the mayor’s son. Wealthy, charming, and engaged to the daughter of a high-ranking council member, he is everything Asher can never have. To the world, Malcolm is the perfect heir to Eldermire’s legacy of purity. But beneath the polished facade, he's living a life that isn't truly his—while being irresistibly drawn to the quiet waiter he just can't stop thinking about. One moment, they were just two men living separate lives. The next, they are fugitives. Hunted by a town that sees their love as an abomination, Asher and Malcolm’s only hope is to escape beyond Eldermire’s borders—to a place where love isn’t punished. But running won’t be easy. In a world where their love is forbidden and betrayal is inevitable, the question isn’t just whether they can escape—but whether their love is strong enough to survive. --- Trigger Warning: This story explores dark and intense themes.
