Stella shares her mind with an ancient, otherworldly being, something entirely unlike anything else in the material realm, with primal desires that could rip them both apart.
Her name is Rose. And Rose is annoyed.
Even in their world of elves and magic and dragon people and crap, to have an Other is altogether too strange, so Stella would rather keep their condition under wraps. This means no credit to Rose for their career advancement and practically no say in their romantic partners…of which there are far too few for Rose’s liking. But hey, Stella’s comfortable with her lack of sexual and romantic attraction. Why can’t Rose be?
A telepathic odd-couple, living their life and looking for love in all the…just…regular places?
A GxB/NB story of identity, romance, careers, and…like…elves and stuff.

The Love Interests
Chia-hao Woo
Arisian, Writer/Financial Planning
Chia is that guy who explains the different kinds of coffee beans to the barista. Who goes out of his way to (poorly) explain to you the themes and metaphorical elements of the book you did a doctoral dissertation on because he sees you with a copy of it. He’s the Guy in Your MFA Twitter account incarnate.
He’s also the type of guy, though, that will lend you his entire David Bowie collection because you said you like the movie Labyrinth one time. He’s not good or bad he’s just…he needs some perspective, you know?
CV: Adam Rowe
Chris Kaldr
Human, Level Programmer
A programmer by trade, Chris also happens to be a vampire of some sort. Not the blood drinking type, though…probably…Not like he needs to keep it a secret, but it is a rather curious thing that he has. Makes a person wonder whether he’s trying to look like something he’s not.
CV: Kevin Thelwell
Faakhir Ran
Drakkaken, IT
You don’t see many drakkaken wandering around. Some people say they’re hard to read, but that’s only because they’re not paying attention. When Faakhir roles a dangerous number on a check during a table top game, the whole table knows it. His shyness and kind nature show through everything he does.
CV: Manuela Malasaña
Iambe lan Penthaes
Elf, Technical Artist
Iambe’s an elf living among humans, and he’s annoyed by this on a daily basis. Too bad a genetic defect means elven society as a whole hasn’t been very kind to him. A person could probably break through the walls he’s built up around him, but until he let’s them, stuck-up and surly is the best you’ll get from him.
CV: Ryan Hoyle
René Desmarais
Human, Marketing
Rene’s kind of a jerk but a lovable jerk…mostly. When it comes to romantic backgrounds, though, his was a bit of a doozy. So you can almost forgive him. Beneath his prickly exterior lives a man adrift who thinks he’ll never love or be loved again and isn’t sure how to feel about that.
Tarka Blackflower
Sylvan, Business Owner/Aromatherapist
Sylvan have the reputation of being capricious, aloof, and light-hearted. It’s not that Tarka isn’t those things, but they’re also industrious and highly intelligent. Despite a degree in biochemistry, no one took them seriously until they gave up on grad school and opened their own store selling holistic remedies. Well, so be it! Money’s money and humans eat that sort of nonsense up.
