Shattered Minds and Broken Hearts
Aka: My Roommate's a werewolf?!
Modern low fantasy
MxM (might be willing to do MxF but I need convincing)
CW: Mental illness
Wolven eyes that shine so bright
Claws so sharp, fangs that bite
Bloodstained fur, heaving breath
Silent steps 'midst prey that rests
Swift slash and life is torn
Rage and sanity are shorn
Blood for blood, life for life
Mind locked in unending strife
The cries of men ring loud and long
Wolven howls in harmonious song
Bright light, booming crash
Vitae fades like cooling ash
The heart still beats, it won't give in
Smothered with the guilt of cardinal sin
Moonlight fades, darkness returns
For that sweet embrace, the heart still yearns
Wolven eyes that shine so bright
Like flint, when struck, sparks a light
Thy rage still simmers, awaiting tinder
To feed the starving, ash-choked cinders
Wolven heart beat proud and strong
Lift thy voice in mournful song
Blood for blood, life for life
Thy mind e're locked in eternal strife

He was the son of a single mother, abandoned by his father, the runt of his litter. Sickly in his youth, he was a silent burden, loved by one and disdained by all others. His mother worked hard to protect him, but as he grew, he saw the burden he placed on her. And when he was finally old enough to make his own decisions, he did what he thought was best.
He left.
No one came looking for him, no one really had to. Dominic Thorne had left a note for his mother, telling her that he was joining the military, specifically the War Dog program, a branch that specifically trained werewolves for military combat. He would become strong and make her proud. He'd come back a hero and take care of her as she had taken care of him for all those years.
What would return from the battlefield was a monster...
A creature that should not exist, forged from a mind shattered by rage and bloodlust. He had become a beast of war and battle, with a mind broken by loss, and the uncaring design of military might. Now released on medical leave, Dom returns home, different from when he left, but still uncertain if he will fit in.

Here I be...back at it again, trying to scrounge up some creativity and reasons to write. Lawdy it's difficult sometimes. I will admit I have times where I am super down to write and them stuff happens and I just can't. Looking to see if this fellow catches any attention. He's pretty well developed but can fit in several different settings/time periods as long as there is some sort of organized military involved.
You'll have a lot of creative freedom with your character. Be a werewolf, human, vampire, anything you want! I just ask that they are not meek and mild-mannered. They need to be able to navigate and withstand a werewolf's broken psyche.
That being said: Hear me out on this next point please...
Please be open to exploring dark themes. If you only write fade-to-black and fluff, this may not be the story for you. This wolfy boi might get bitey and i don't want to feel like I have to hold back. I fully respect other's comfort zones and "no" is a whole-ass sentence. Communication will happen between me and my partner before stuff happens and if I write anything you dont like, I ask that you tell me and give me a chance to fix it. I also ask for the same courtesy.
Does this mean there WILL be dark themes, adult material, and all around unpleasant topics? Yes. Does it mean that will be the whole point of the story? No. In fact, the plan is for this to be super awkward and adorable at first, but with some serious and dark undercurrents. I want to write this with folk who are okay with writing dark stuff, but not needing it to be every other post.
Also, I'm ghost friendly. I wont bite, nor will I poke or prod anymore. Creativity flows like the tide and I ride that ride.
Send me a message if interested.
