The two are seen as polar opposites, but they?’re actually in a lovey-dovey relationship. Seeing his beloved Yamato’s nape and lips fills Kotarou’s mind with “perverted thoughts”. But when he’s touched, he panicks and throws a punch…?!

    How to Tame a Tigercat: that Yamato is one hell of a sly fox

    A Kiss to the Little Finger: because big brothers are always no. 1!

    Demonica – Megan Derr

    Life as a mercenary isn’t kind or easy, and Shale has lost much: one family, then another, one leg, one arm, one eye, and the love of his life when pain and medication left him disinterested in sex. The last thing he wants is to accept a job from his ex-lover’s mother, but the pay is too good to refuse, especially as it should be a relatively simple job.

    But crucial information was withheld, and the man they’ve been sent to escort home is like no one Shale has ever met—despite the dangerous reason he’s spent so much of his life sequestered, and the fact he’s part of the family that hurt Shale once before.

    author’s note This story was originally published in Magic And Mayhem: Fiction and Essays Celebrating LGBTQ Romance)

    Wow! This is such a nicely written ace short story that has so much potential. I’m usually wary of reading ace stories because I have this pre-conceive notion that there would be a part where they would try to seduce the ace to have sex. I’m glad there’s no such thing here. The magic system seemed intriguing and the world as a whole has this awesome matriarchy vibe going. I would love more stories from the Demonica world!

    Rating:
    3.5 Stars – that place between like and love

    Artist: Finish Ticket

    I hadn’t been “possessed”, after all. Not by an angel or a demon. Maybe there were aspects of both inside me, but I was the one who chose which to let out.
