Voiceless

Hidden among the humans that walk the world are various supernatural creatures. No one knows who they are, and they mask themselves completely. There are vampires, werewolves, fae, and more. Most of these creatures want to live peacefully. However, some are malevolent and want to hurt others or use them to gain more power.

Born believing he is human, Shae Danforth doesn’t expect his life to be anything interesting. A child of infidelity, living with a father who barely acknowledges him, he spends most of his time in books and his imagination. One night, he takes off after a particularly bad evening, and in doing so, he becomes the target of an organization of witches who use fae to service their own. To his shock, Shae finds that there are secrets to his own existence and that ignorance of them will not save him.

Hitching to a Star

Tobias doesn’t think he wants trouble. He wants an easy-going life until one day he dies, the last of the werepanthers in the world. He’s had a rough time all over the world, and he thinks he’s finally settled into the life he’ll lead until he finally dies of old age out in the middle of nowhere, Missouri. But then, he picks up Hinata hitchhiking along the road and finds himself drawn back into a fight he thought he’d left behind. He calls in help, a Nixie friend who might be able to aid him, and then, on his doorstep, a couple of Huntresses of Artemis show up. He thinks that’s all, and then Hinata’s uncle appears out of nowhere.

Someone is after Hinata, and they have to move on to be safe. Using an interdimensional safe house, they try to get answers to exactly what Hinata is and why the Emperor of the Oni wants him so badly. Linking up with people they don’t expect, they find out that this is all a ruse to get hold of an artifact of immense power: The Ashes of Inara of Japanese folklore.

Hand of Magic

Sage is the child of a witch. She’s always practiced witchcraft around him, and while it is just a different religion, he does not believe in anything she does. She carries crystals, lights candles, and says spells, but what does it really do? He doesn’t think anything about her connection to the universe, and he doesn’t care, because he is convinced there is nothing more to the world than what can be seen with one’s two eyes.

Then, one afternoon, he’s approaching an intersection and notices something in the middle of it. It’s something shining just slightly, and he’s curious. Checking to make sure no one is coming, he walks out and picks it up, finding it is a really old key of some sort with strange symbols on it. He frowns, wondering what something like that would be doing there. Then, the world explodes around him in brilliant light. A voice tells him he’s been chosen.

He comes back to reality when a car is honking at him. He shakes his head, pocketing the key, and heading home. Once there, though, he feels different, and with a thunderous sound, his world turns upside down.

From Ashes

Zayne Santiago works for the League of Experts in the Supernatural (LES) and thinks he’s seen it all. After being in the military most of his young life, and now he works as an elite detective for the LES. He handles the situations that the bookish types in the LES don’t want to touch. He’s the one that really gets dirty out there. He gets a call to a captured creature being held by a new-to-them band of Supernatural haters and brings it back to their bunker. They don’t capture the people holding him, which he’s concerned about, but more than that this creature presents a mystery. Then, to Zayne’s surprise, he seems to grow attached, and when they realize what they’re dealing with, they’re not sure where to go.

A strange biology, and an even stranger attitude toward humanity, leaves them worried about this creature. This is the first time they’ve encountered something truly immortal. They believe he’s male at first, but it turns out it’s much more complicated than that, as he’s equipped to give birth. This creature, thought to be immortal, has bird-like reproductive features that they think they understand. The world wonders if they have finally seen the phoenix’s rise.

Gravity

Morgan, one of the handful of male werewolves who have the ability to bear children, is trying to escape everything to do with the supernatural world. He takes suppressants to keep his werewolf side at bay, and has managed to deal with the desires to have a child pretty well. He lives with humans who have no idea he’s any different than them. He has a good life, going to school to become a mechanic, and quietly forgetting that he’s anything special.

Then, someone from his past shows up, someone he doesn’t want to see. He tells him to leave him alone, and he eventually does disappear. It is strange, though, because Morgan knows him to be persistent, and for him to be gone that quickly concerns him, especially when Morgan finds no trace of where he went. He spends a few weeks pondering things, then heads to the Red District for the first time in years, and asks around. When he finds his previously annoying companion has not been seen in the area, he is slightly worried about it. As he leaves, he smells a strange scent, and he turns, falling into blackness.

He awakens in a nightmare and finds out very quickly where his companion has disappeared to.
