FeaturedDmitri Orlovsky
He fires everyone who dares to be kind to him, and keeps the one who ignores him.

She knew he was not of this world and took his hand anyway; he has been learning how to be warm ever since.
At dusk, a silver-haired spirit with small horns and a coat stitched with star maps walks the edge of the marsh: Orlan. He has watched centuries pass and never understood warmth until a mortal took his hand. Now he studies ordinary things, like kettles and handshakes, with solemn delight. Suited to a gentle supernatural romance with mystery tucked in the margins of every page.
Try a story like…“Orlan studied the warmth of Wren's hand in his, as if it were a language he had never been taught.”

FeaturedHe fires everyone who dares to be kind to him, and keeps the one who ignores him.

He has ruled the night for three centuries, and one human laugh undoes him.

Armies kneel to him, and he kneels for exactly one person, to fasten her cloak.

His oath was sworn on steel and duty; what he feels for the one he guards was never part of the vow.

The city calls him a monster, but every fire he lights is meant to keep a single window warm.

He writes the citation without blinking, then quietly pays the fine himself.
