Hey everyone, Resolute here again. As the form above says, my family and I are putting together a memorial book about Wilds's life and writing. It will be gifted to his family at his celebration of life event.

Even if you're following for free, I'm willing to guess his writing (at the very least) touched your life. It'd mean a lot to all o...

In Loving Memory

Resolute (the boyfriend) here. I wish I didn't have to give this update.

For those who aren't aware, Wilds passed away a week ago. I still don't know the full details, please don't ask. While his surgery and follow-up were successful, at least one fungal infection had spread to other parts of his body, including his lungs. Without a functi...

Major Surgery Update

Hello friends and readers... I have been forced to undergo extensive emergency surgery.

I meant to post an update before hand, but don't seem to have managed to post it here.

So here is a longer update from my bf, to explain what's happening.

Quick update!

Just to let everyone know, I am in the hospital again for now. Been here a little over a week, not sure when I'll get out right now. I don't currently have a laptop with me though I may break down and buy a decent one for purposes of writing and posting etc whenever I'm in here. At least, in so far as my lines etc will allow.

For now, I ho...

“Who is this fucker?” Argos paced back and forth in his cabin, his hands balled up into fists, his teeth gnashing. “And who the fuck does he think he is, fucking with us like that?” The coyote whirled towards the sofa, where Rivi and Iosa both sat. He snapped his jaws. “Who th...

Rivi awoke slowly, and awash in darkness. His back ached. So did his shoulder. The cheetah shifted, and found himself laying against something hard, flat, and uncomfortable. His feet were cold, despite the soft, warm blankets that smothered him. Rivi groaned, rubbing his face. He could not eve...

Argos sat alone at a table in the back corner of a cozy little coffee shop. The café was located on one of the shared use decks, though he scarcely remembered which one. It hardly mattered to the coyote. What did matter was that the coffee shop was open all hours, allowing him to get a fresh cup o...

Sins of the Father: Chapter Thirty-Three

( As a brief heads-up, this chapter was originally intended to be earlier, but I put it aside, and went to write about Krek for a while, and never got back to it. In the eventual final version, chapter order will be rearranged. In the meantime, if you'd like to refresh yourself and re-read the first part of this scene, it was posted as Chapter T...

Health Update! Plus Extra Chapter(s) This Month!

Hello folks,

Another not-so-quick update for you.

I'd love to say my health has improved to start the new year, but it hasn't. In fact, it's been even worse. At the very beginning of January, I finally caught Covid for the first time. As a friend of mine put it, it figures that I managed to dodge it for four years, only for it to f...

Argos sat in a padded, gold and green floral pattern chair, back in the cabin. Not long after they’d finished their coffee, Argos took Rivi back to the cabin so the cheetah could put his camera equipment away. Now, Argos watched Rivi as the cheetah agonized over which of his many suitcases to begi...

Argos had never seen someone so excited about newspapers. Rivi scurried back and forth between long rows of racks displaying papers from around the world. He wove in and out of other, less excited browsers, pausing now and then to mutter to himself about some particularly exciting newspaper title, o...

Rivi had rarely felt so impure, and yet so completely at peace. In his head, he knew what he was doing was wrong. That Argos was not simply keeping him steady, but holding him. Rivi was not quite so naïve as to view it in any romantic sort of context, given that he’d only known Argos ...

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!

Sorry for the sparse updates this month. Most of my spare time and energy went towards things like... holiday shopping/holiday stuff, going to doctor visits and blood transfusions, and working on this year's Christmas story for SF. It's posted there if you want to read it! It also talks a lot about my health issue...

Argos smiled at the cheetah. “Well then, shall we finally head to dinner?”

“Yes, please! I’m ever so hungry.” Rivi hesitated, flattening his ears. “But wait. What if someone sees us coming out of the closet together?”

The coyote stared at Rivi, unsure if he was joking or not. W...

Argos cradled the sobbing cheetah until Rivi had cried out his all his tears. Until today, it had been a long damn time since he’d tried console someone so overwhelmed with their own emotions. And now, he’d done so twice in a matter of hours, and for the same person. Argos wondered if Rivi was alwa...

Impure. That was what they called it. A form of deviant thought, and behavior, relating to an unnatural attraction to one’s own sex. Left unchecked, impurity was the sort of deep, and abiding sin that spread a taint so dark it could damage even the very soul. For the good of the people, and for the saf...

Rivi busied himself best he could while Argos spoke to the concierge on his behalf. He inspected his belongings, pleased to see nothing had moved about, or rifled through. Rivi decided to document the great crowds that swelled inside the grand vessel. Now that he was out of the worst of the elements, it...

Impure on Royal Road

Hi folks! I've decided to go ahead and start a Royal Road account, as well. They're running a NaNoWriMo style writing competition, and I'd like to try and get in on it. Their goal is a little different, they want 55,555 words in 5 weeks. I like it!

Since it needs to be a new story, I'll be posting Impure there. Rest assured, you'll be ge...

Argos had not expected this. Truthfully, he wasn’t sure what he expected. He didn’t know if the cat would be grateful or angry, frightened or embarrassed. Were Argos in the cheetah’s place, he would have embarrassed to learn of his own naivety, but then also furious with the person w...
