“Just… A little… Closer!” The tassle on the elf’s sword swung perilously close to her fingers. If she could grab it then surely she could cut her way out of this mess but every movement only got her more and more stuck in the sticky threads she’d tried to cut down. “I’ve got to hurry before any spiders show up!” she told herself, so focused on the sword she was oblivious to the dangers that approached her.

As an added bonus, here’s what I’ve been working on the last couple days. Leather pants! I have no idea what I’m going to do for the rest of her outfit, but I’ve had this idea for leather pants in my head for months. What do you think?

Scary
Veyronna feat. Dee Dee in “The Mind Wanders”

“I’m sorry, but there’s really no point putting your head back on until your brain is back in there! Stupid thing keeps wandering off, almost like it has a mind of it’s own. If I can find it, and catch it, I promise I’ll fix you up in a jiffy. If you see it, um, moan or something? Ugh… why am I even talking to her?” the mage said to herself. It wasn’t the first time the brain had escaped while she was working on her project. The last time she’d caught it in the branches of her Bonsai tree. The time before that it seemed to take great pleasure in knocking over all of the candles in her ritual space. Now that she was finally ready to put it back where it belonged, it was gone again. Where could it be?

Can you spot it?

Hey Pumpkin
Glissa, Saffee, Aneka, Anna-May and Veyronna in “Carving Contest”

“You invite us all to participate in a pumpkin carving contest and you show up with that?” asked Saffee with annoyance in her voice.

“I’ll say it again, just because I’m a mage doesn’t mean that every crazy thing that happens is because of me. I carved him, and then he came alive. I. Didn’t. Do. It. I’ll carve another one! I’m not trying to cheat!”

“Is it friendly?” wondered Aneka, kneeling down for a closer look.

“I don’t know if I’d put my hand too close to it…” cautioned Anna-May.

“I think it’s kinda cute,” commented Glissa, peering from behind the giant gourd she was carrying.

My Doll is Happy When She:

Performance
Pirate Queen Goldie and Wendy in “One Night in a Pirate Bar on the Banks of the North Saskatchewan”

Goldie stopped, her winnings from the last hand of cards forgotten in the middle of the table. The hooded figure across the table yelled at her to deal but she waved them off. The Peg Leg Parrot was a very dangerous place where you could find the most vicious thugs that roamed the waterways but few were brave enough to raise a sword or gun to Pirate Queen Goldie. With an annoyed grunt they followed Goldie’s gaze to the stage. On stage was Wendy, one of the bar wenches of the establishment. Her voice wasn’t amazing, but the boss had her sing when there was nothing better lined up. Goldie didn’t like her voice any more than any of the other patrons but she was captivated by the lithe elf’s curly red hair and piercing green eyes. Oh, and her fiery attitude that made her more than willing to go after any heckler with her sword. And yet, as fearsome as the Pirate Queen was, she wasn’t brave enough to talk to Wendy. She wanted her on her crew.

She wanted her on her bunk.

Wendy had seen the Pirate Queen in the front row and realized she had her attention while the rest of the bar largely ignored her. She’d also noticed the pile of gold on the table. In an attempt to possibly get her hands on some of it, she directed her next ballad to one of her few fans.

Most of the time I don’t consider my contest entries to be canon, but I think this one is. Maybe I’ll elaborate on it some day.

Car Rides
Sandy in “Drift Mode”

“Wha- Waugh!” cried Sandy as she quickly got down and held on for dear life before she fell down as the car moved erratically. Her cries were only barely heard over the sound of tortured tires. “Are we going to crash!?”

“If you’re not out of control, you’re not in control!” I laughed. “You said you wanted to know what Drift Mode was.”

“I don’t think I like it. And what’s that smell?” the little elf asked, holding her cloak up higher to cover her nose too as the tire smoke wafted in.

Dragonrider Octavia in “Ice Fang”

I thought for some time about who to use for this challenge, nearly all of my dolls could have worked! I’m sure I’m not the only one who wondered what Octavia looked like before Ice Fang became one with her. If it isn’t clear what I did, I took the photo of Octavia’s body posed to sit on Ice Fang, but I thought it would be easier to put Octavia’s face onto a head with hair that matched hers instead of trying to remove the horns and helmet from her head. Taking the photo of both at the same time made the lighting match. I swapped her face and ear, color matched, and plopped her on Ice Fang!

Winter Wonderland
Lily and Valeria VS Sandy and Aneka in “Outmatched”


“Ah! Hey! No! Stop! I surrender!” yelled Sandy, the snowballs pelting her until she fell down in the snow. “AAAAAH! COLD!” COLDCOLDCOLD!"

Her teammate, Aneka, peered around from behind her cloak that she’d raised protectively against the incoming barrage. She couldn’t help but laugh.

“No! I said I surrender!” begged Sandy as Lily launched one more snowball at her. Sandy raised her hand and was able to block the snowball, but it exploded into cold powder that sprayed all over her exposed face. “AAAH! SO COLD!” The desert-dwelling elf was not having the fun she’d been promised when Aneka had challenged Lily and Valeria.

“Sorry, it’s hard to switch off,” apologized Lily as she approached the stricken elf in the snow, chuckling a little. Sandy was flailing in the snow, the white powder collapsed under her any time she tried to plant a foot down or push with her hands. Lily offered her a hand to pull her up. Sandy’s outfit was soaked and her teeth were chattering.

“I thought you said you knew a spell to keep you warm,” asked Valeria, the other golden haired elf.

“I d-d-d-do,” chattered Sandy. “It w-w-w-works ag-g-g-gainst cold air, not f-f-f-frozen w-water!”

Aneka couldn’t help but laugh at her friend. “Oh, you’re fine.”

“I’m going to f-f-freeze to d-d-death!” argued Sandy, her body shaking.

“Let’s get you back inside. I’ll make you hot chocolate,” offered Valeria.

The three elves made their way back inside to warm up, the two guardians of the Queen the clear victors.

I Aim to Misbehave
Glissa and Aneka in “Have a Nice Trip”

Aneka was ready to go and watched Glissa for the signal. As soon as Glissa was done tying Arachne’s laces together she glanced at Aneka and gave her a nod. Aneka sprinted out from under the stool and the drow immediately spotted her.

“Hey!” Arachne cried out as she stood up to give chase. She was tripped up immediately and crashed to the floor. “Ooof!”

Glissa ran past her too and the two little elves laughed as they headed quickly down the stairs, a slew of dark elven curses being yelled at them as they went.

Is there a photo that you’d like to see of one or more of my dolls? In character or out of character? (I generally consider contest photos not to be canon so things that are outside of the story are possible). Let me know! A little disclaimer, I make no guarantees that I will act on a suggestion, I may get multiple. If I don’t do it there could be any number of reasons and it doesn’t mean I don’t like it. Please don’t take any offense!

Saffee and Evey’s Wedding

The weather was beautiful for their big day but that was the last thing on the minds of those in attendance. Each and every one of them would have been there even through a storm of rain or snow. The love between Saffee and Evey was known throughout the Clan and everyone was so excited that they were finally making it official and getting married.

Ally and Laura were happy to help them prepare but it was Veyronna’s magic that held them to the old tradition of not seeing one another until the ceremony. Everyone else could see the brides except they couldn’t see each other. It wasn’t strictly necessary as they had gone shopping for dresses together and attended the fittings at the same time, but it did increase the anticipation for both of them as they yearned to see their lover on their most special day.

The anticipation peaked as the two brides walked to their positions at the end of the aisle; the flowers marking the center point so they did not bump into each other accidentally. Their sharp elven eyes could pick up the bending of the grass marking the position of each other and their sensitive ears could pick up the sounds.

“Your heart is racing,” observed Saffee with a whisper to the invisible Evey.

“It beats for you, my love,” Evey responded softly.

Both elves smiled and looked forward to where their friends sat and the arch that waited beyond.

A melodic trumpet announced it was time to begin. As was tradition, Saffee entered first as the one who had proposed. Veyronna dropped her half of the spell and Evey’s heart skipped a beat as she viewed Saffee walking up the aisle before her.

Saffee caught the eye of many as she walked, her smile constant. She took her position at the front alongside Queen Ariana. She offered the Queen a smile then turned her gaze back up the aisle.

The trumpet changed to Evey’s chosen melody and Evey stepped forward as Veyronna dropped the spell to reveal her to Saffee. The two women’s eyes met instantly. Evey saw no one else as she walked up the aisle, the two elves looking at each other the entire way. As she took her position at the front across from Saffee Evey gave Ariana a quick glance and smile of acknowledgement before her eyes went back to Saffee.

Ariana grinned, the energy and attraction between the two women palpable. “With eyes only for each other, may I present the lovely Saffee and Evey!”

The crowd gave a few laughs and a round of applause.

“We gather here today to celebrate the love between these two women and their commitment to each other. Saffee, would you please tell us of the moment you first felt love for Evey?”

Saffee nodded. This was part of the traditional ceremony and both of them had a prepared answer. While they suspected they knew each other’s answer it wasn’t something they discussed beforehand. Evey looked on curiously.

“The first time I saw Evey I knew she was special. She walked past me in Elysium and I couldn’t help but stop what I was doing to watch her. While it is far from the only detail I recall, the way her wild hair bounced with each step was absolutely captivating. But, that is not the moment. At that time she was an example of perfection and beauty. After she passed me she turned to look back. We locked eyes only for a second but the warmth in the smile she gave me melted my heart. I felt like I knew who she was even though we’d never spoke and I didn’t even know her name. I later discovered that everything I thought I knew in that moment was absolutely true.”

“A soul laid bare with only a smile. Amazing. Evey? What about you?”

Evey was choked up. She knew that going second was going to be difficult after hearing what Saffee had to say. Saffee gave her a smile of reassurance.

“I recall a time… I glanced over at this woman before me. She has a very intense face - striking - and she was looking at me. But she wasn’t just looking at me, I felt like she was looking into me. Seeing me. I’d never felt so exposed and yet so safe. A force greater than a dragon lived within this woman, a force that would protect me through anything. It was only a split second but that moment stayed in the front of my mind for days after and lives on as a happy memory even now. This was also in Elysium and was the first time I ever saw Saffee”

Ariana grinned. “Love at first sight! A powerful thing, and yet I think it has only grown in strength with these two every time their eyes meet.”

“It was another week before I was brave enough to approach her,” admitted Saffee.

“A week too long,” smiled Evey. “She’s always taken the lead but never left me feeling like a follower or taken me somewhere I didn’t want to be.”

“A poll of the guests has shown us more of the same and an endless mention of Saffee’s recent drive to rescue Evey. I have no doubt that she would have taken down the drow herself to save her love with that dragon-like ferocity. I was also told stories of a similar bravery when Saffee was captured and the forces of the Clan were far fewer at hand. These two will truly go to the ends of the earth for each other. More mundane recollection tells tales of daily life, constant closeness whenever possible, unending teamwork and cooperation, and signs of affection too numerous to mention. Smiles, laughter, and a close friendship that few could match. It would appear there is no end to their love for one another. Even now, they cannot look away from one another."

“Saffee, did you have anything to say to your bride?”

Saffee nodded. “Yes. Evey, I know that you already know this, but I will never tire of saying it. You are my everything. Ariana is right. I would have fought the drow single handed to save you. There is nothing I would not do for you. Your health and happiness is my priority. Your smile is enough to keep me going. Your scent is more powerful than any potion. Your touch brings me warmth to stave off even the winter’s chill. So long as I have you in my life I will have something to fight for, something to look forward to. I love you, Evey, with every fiber of my being, until the end of my time, and even longer if possible.”

Evey didn’t give Ariana a chance to formally announce that it was her turn to speak. “I will never tire of hearing it. Saffee, you are my safe space. Any barrier that comes between us will be my motivation to get back to you. The feel of your lips on mine is worth more to me than all the treasure in the world. You are all I want and all I need. I will be there for you in every way, every day, forever and ever. I love you, Saffee, in ways indescribable. Until the end of our existence in this mortal plane, and if it is possible to find you in the beyond, I will search until every existence has ended.”

Ariana gave a slight pause to make sure they were done. “Would anyone dare to question their loyalty to one another? To question their devotion? To question that we all stand in the presence of true love? We stand before you all in the presence of magic and might, elf and dragon, nature, and the Great Mother herself. To any who object to this union, now is your time to speak. Should anyone think these two should not spend the rest of their days together, speak now or forever hold your words.”

Silence hung in the air, the two women still looking at each other with love and passion in their eyes. Ariana scanned the crowd but there were none present that would deny Saffee and Evey their happiness together.

Ariana nodded. “And so it shall be. Saffee and Evey, as a Queen of the elven nation, it is my honor and privilege to stand before your friends and pronounce you wife and wife. Saffee. Evey. You may now kiss the bride.”

The reaction was instant, like two electromagnets being switched on. The two women both stepped forward and embraced one another. Ariana ended up with one bouquet thrust at her while the other ended up in the grass. The two elves locked lips and kissed passionately.

The gathered witnesses all stood, applauding and cheering. Several minutes passed before Saffee and Evey stopped kissing and the applause died down. Ariana had picked up the other bouquet and handed them back to the couple. “Your passion is undeniable. Congratulations, both of you. Please, enter the arch as a couple and emerge on the other side as One until the end of time.”

For the first time in the ceremony Saffee and Evey looked out at the audience of friends. They looked them over with smiles on their faces before turning and walking through the arch hand in hand.

The two elves continued to walk through the grass and eventually their guests lost sight of them. Ariana turned to the guests once they were gone. “That has got to be my favorite thing to do. Breathtaking. On behalf of the brides, thank you for being here to witness their momentous event. Sassy, if you would reopen the portal to Sanctuary, I would ask that everyone take their chair through with them. Food is already prepared while we wait the return of the brides.”

Saffee and Evey wandered off. Tradition dictated they do one more thing to make their union official, it needed to be consummated in nature; a physical demonstration of their love in the presence of the Great Mother Nature herself.

The elves wasted no time. The anticipation created during the ceremony meant they were both ready and eager. They found a spot that would offer them some comfort and privacy and went at each other with enthusiasm. Their wedding dresses were removed with haste as they collapsed to the ground together. Soon, the forest was filled with the sounds of passion and pleasure.

It wasn’t long before they were a sweaty pile. Both were breathing hard and in a state of bliss they’d never experienced. Elven myth said that this feeling was the blessing of the Mother and a true sign of acceptance of the union, something more primal and true than anything a Queen could ever decree. Both were speechless. Nothing needed to be said that they hadn’t just declared during the ceremony. They lay together and basked in the feeling of it all for a long time.

“Again?” Saffee finally asked.

“Of course,” grinned Evey.

The forest went quiet once more as the sounds of elven pleasure once again took over.

A couple of hours passed before they were ready to return to the site of the ceremony. Before they left they laid out their dresses and bouquets as offerings to the Goddess. All elven wedding dresses were made from natural materials for this very reason. Shameless, they walked back through the grass to the lonely archway.

They paused in front of the arch which now contained the portal that would take them back to their friends.

“Thank you, Saffee. You’ve made me so happy today. We walk back into our home to all our friends as wives.” said Evey.

“Wife.” said Saffee. “It feels strange to say, but right. I love you, my wife.”

“And I love you too, my wife,” smiled Evey. “But you can still call me your lover. I do like that, and it’s still accurate.”

“Hmmm… My wife and lover. And I’m still your girlfriend,” added Saffee.

“My best friend,” agreed Evey. “But, we’ll figure out what we want to be called in time. Let’s stick to wife today and try it out. It’s new and exciting!”

Saffee laughed. “Of course, my wife. Now, shall we? Before our friends eat all the food?”

“We shall, my wife,” Evey grinned.

The two wives stepped through the portal and into Sanctuary.

The party in Sanctuary was already in full swing when the brides arrived. While they’d been consummating everyone else had been eating and drinking. As soon as they arrived there was a loud cheer and calls for kissing which they eagerly obliged; Saffee going all out on it.

The party continued with a cutting of the cake. After that it quickly turned back into a party of drinking and eating.

It was a celebration of Love mixed with a lot of alcohol. Things started to get wild quickly. Some passed out. Some left, usually with someone else. Some couldn’t wait to leave and celebrated the love they had for another right there. Every option perfectly normal for an elven wedding.

The two new wives eventually found their way back to their bed and cuddled up together in it.

“This is nice. Familiar, safe, and yet somehow better and different. I like it,” said Evey softly.

“The best. There’s nowhere I’d rather be than snuggled up with my wife,” agreed Saffee.

Exhausted, they lay in each other’s arms until they fell asleep.

Glissa’s “Birthday”
Part 1

Glissa approached me. “Agent, why don’t any of us little elves get birthdays? I know you love us and care about us too, but I can’t help but notice…”

I set down what I was doing to give Glissa my full attention. “Oh, Glissa… Come here.” I offered her my hands to pick her up, then I held her close. “You’re right, I do love each and every one of you. A lot. So very much. The problem is that there’s so many of you! Arachne holds a special place in my heart. If it wasn’t for her, none of what followed would have happened and none of you would exist. What if we did a big birthday for all of you?”

“Hmm. Not all of us. I don’t think everyone would be into that. I would be. Evey and Saffee for sure, probably Veyronna…” thought Glissa.

“Not all of you? I’m not sure I understand, Glissa.”

Glissa looked up at me. “Well no, not everyone wants to be as involved with your birthday’s as I do.”

I looked at the little elf in my hands, putting the pieces together in my mind. “Wait… Glissa, is this about birthdays or are you just looking for an excuse to get messy again?”

Glissa fidgeted. “Um, well… The thing is… I…”

I sighed. “Glissa, have you spoke to any of the others you mentioned about this?”

“Well, no,” she admitted.

“So you just want to get messy?”

Glissa nodded enthusiastically.

I chuckled. “Why didn’t you just say so? You know I’m an enabler of that. Hell, if it wasn’t for me would you even know you enjoyed it?” I asked with a grin. I set Glissa gently back on the table. “You wait here a moment and I’ll be right back, okay? Get yourself ready.”

“What are you going to do?” She called after me.

“I don’t know. Whatever you want, probably. I’ve still got plenty of pudding left over from Arachne’s birthday."

I returned a moment later with some cups of pudding and Glissa had removed Sassy from her feet and all of her armor. No sense having to clean that afterwards, I suppose. I smiled, enjoying the elf’s lack of inhibitions.

“Okay, so what do you want?”

“Put it on me,” replied Glissa. “Anywhere. Everywhere!”

I nodded, happy to oblige her. I opened a container and spooned some pudding onto her chest. Glissa eagerly started smearing it over herself with a soft moan of pleasure.

“More. More! All of it!”

“All of it? Well, okay,” I replied. There was an easy way to accommodate that. I flipped the cup upside down and pressed it over her head.

“Mmph!” she called out in surprise as her entire head was engulfed by the cool, slippery substance.

I watched, ready to help her if she needed it, not that Glissa ever needed help to lift something, but she didn’t pull the cup off her head or even touch it as it flowed slowly out of the cup and down her body.

I could hear heavy breathing from inside the cup as it emptied. While she was occupied with that I opened another cup of chocolate and set it behind her. A little push was all it took for the distracted and blinded elf to fall backwards.

She landed with a wet splat and her weight forced some of the pudding to come squirting out of the cup around her, mainly between her legs, much to her pleasure. Unfortunately the cup was too small for her to get very deep. She flipped the cup off her head.

(End Part 1/3)

Glissa found herself stuck, both wedged and the suction of the pudding below her working against her. With a little maneuvering she got the cup to fall over sideways and got free.

After wiping some of the pudding from her eyes she moved over to the piles of pudding on the table and plopped herself down in them. “That was a good start,” she told me as her hand slid between her legs.

“But I want more!”

I emptied the chocolate pudding onto her face and chest, her moans of pleasure audible through the slime.

Then, I emptied the butterscotch onto her stomach and crotch. Her hand still moved under it.

Eventually she had to breathe and she paused to wipe pudding away from her mouth. In the sensory depravation of no sight she played in the pudding, rolling in it and rubbing it all over herself before returning to rub a very specific area once again.

Flipping herself over her stomach hit the table with a wet slap. Without skipping a beat she kept right on going.

She was happy to let me watch and I was even more happy to do so. The little elf was enjoying herself immensely based on the volumes of the sounds she was making.

It was a show from every angle. What she asked next I hadn’t expected.
