As we write, we are careful not to project onto each other’s characters, and as such, one of us writes our characters’ perspectives of the scene and then the other replies with their characters’ perspectives. This can make the format feel a little whiplash-y as the scene moves back in time slightly each time there’s a new post. However, it feels both relevant and valuable to have an omniscient perspective this way to fully understand and appreciate the depth of the characters.
If you’re ready to jump in, there are three RPs available for you to read: On Dreams and Desire, Social Butterflies, and ROLLER DERBY! Additionally, we've recently started writing Memoirs, which are accounts of interactions we've had role-playing or embodying characters "IRL". Descriptions of each are below.

On Dreams and Desire
This story is set in a fantasy realm where a rebel army has recently broken away from the main military forces of the king. The army has suffered heavy losses, and the king is resorting to supernatural means to defeat the defectors. Evan, a high-ranking, risk-taking captain, discovers it might be possible to summon the goddess of desire to assist the rebel army, or at least prevent her from causing anymore harm to his troops.
On Dreams and Desire (working title) is a smutty 18+ narrative featuring intersexuality, supernatural kink, and consent-conscious dialogues. This is our longest and most developed story to date.
There are several sub-threads inside this story, and they fit in chronologically as follows:
- Accessing the Fae Gate (About nine years before the main story)
- The Second Night (One night before the main story begins)
- Part 1 (Main thread)
- Visiting the Crone (After Evan’s first night with the goddess)
- In the Meantime (After Evan’s first night with the goddess)
- And more... (threads really exploded after a point in the story where several different character perspectives become relevant to events that are unfolding)
Social Butterflies
This narrative was our first foray into role-playing together and began after Emily’s character Cory and Andra's character Juniper declared an interest in each other. As such, they decided to write a story in which they are both gay men in the 1920s. Juniper Lane is a lonely but wealthy investor looking for business opportunities, and Cory Carter is an artist about to make a very public debut. After discussion of creating a clandestine club where gay men could meet safely, Juniper agrees to work with Serio Kade, a manager of another lounge in town.
This story is an agonizingly slow burn with so much blushing and sensually eating in front of each other. We plan to create a sub-thread about Serio, Ren, and Belledor in the future, but it hasn’t quite gotten off the ground yet.
ROLLER DERBY!
Noticing that there is a significant lack of quality femme team dynamic content in the world (not to mention a startling absence of roller derby from sports anime), we took it upon ourselves to write an episodic narrative that might one day become a manga/anime. Featuring an enormous cast of
characters, this narrative follows a roller derby hobbyist team as they sort through not only team dynamics but confused sexualities and drama-filled life crises.
This is our newest story, so most of what we have at present is simply the cast list, bios, and photos, but hey, they’re amazing, and you should check them out.
Memoirs
As Emily and Andra interact with each other in day-to-day-life, we frequently embody characters in offline interactions. This practice is not only fun, but helps us feel more expressive and better-understood by each other as our characters truly are parts of ourselves. Every now and then an "IRL" strikes inspiration to write about it, and those writings get posted under Memoirs.
