I've been away from Tapas for a long time, and I'm excited to be back! This story is almost complete on Patreon at the time of writing this, and will likely be finished and scheduled by the time episodes here go live! Click the banner to go to Patreon and join if you want more story sooner! Patreon will have the entire story in full by the end of the first week of February, Tapas will have the ending in April.
Like BitB, this tale came from a dream and the words have poured out of me like a tap. While I have proofread it and done my best to catch typos, it has not been professionally edited. If you see any mistakes, please let me know!
Also like I did in BitB, content warnings for upcoming episodes will be in the author's note at the end of each episode. So, for example, if episode 6 contains graphic content, you will be warned about that at the end of episode 5. So if you have any sensitivities to certain topics pleasecheck the author's notes at the end of each episode!
This one is fairly light though, so I don't anticipate much issue. I initially thought the story might contain some gore, but I ended up drastically reducing the fight scene for the sake of expedience. I tried to keep this story short. It ended up being well over the word count for a short story though, so now it's a novelette.
Episodes will be about 1/3 as long as they were for BitB, but posts will also be posted twice a week (Tuesday and Thursday) until complete, rather than once a week.
First episode of The Demon on the Ranch will be live on Tuesday, January 27th! I hope you're looking forward to it!
There are strange creatures out in the wilderness. The natives and the settlers have different names for them and tales about them. Freya grew up learning about the "vaesen", the "hidden folk" from her parents before they died.
Now Freya is practically alone, her twin brother out on a cattle drive, leaving her only with their childhood friend and the barrier his family helped them erect to keep the vaesen out.
When Freya gets herself into a bit of trouble and is saved by a strange vaesen from far across the sea, she finds herself strangely drawn to him. He needs her in order to heal from past wounds and restore himself to full strength.
But what will happen if she submits to his desires? Will he keep his word, or will he devour her in more ways than one?
