Amateur fiction writer in India, keeping company with a lazy orange cat and strong coffee while writing. Most of my posts live in Mature. I have a soft spot for secret, real conversation before the bedroom door closes, and clear enthusiasm once it does. Writing for fun and practice. Let me know which characters or settings you want more of. Ranked by how many readers finish them. Some are free to read in full; the rest open with a free preview.
