Since the story switches over the last Thursday of every month, you can actually get two stories for your $7 if you make sure to start both before they switch/your sub runs out. (Some months you can even get three stories for one sub if you time it right and the dates line up.)

I wondered this and nearly subbed earlier this month to to the previous story but I decided against it.

This is really nice advice tho, so I’m sharing it! Thanks!

@hyperionnebulae

You asked for Piperit’s team and I got it for you:

Alakazam
Noctowl
Volbeat
Mime Jr.
Meowstic
Unown G

He probably is really into research of the Unown because as soon as writing systems come into play he is all over that. He pulls all nighters and appreciates his pokemon as quiet companions.

replied to your post “@thequeenseal
See, this is why I’m glad Bioware gives us so many…”

Also ur gonna date either the quarian or the turian , tho my money is on the quarian

If there was  a quarian you could bet your bottom dollar I’d be dating them. No questions asked. But, sadly, of all the alien races they chose not to include: they picked my favorite race to leave out.

Even though they’re nomads, so naturally should be ahead of the game in all of this dumb exploration BS.

Without knowing anything, I’m staring between the Turian, the new alien dude, and the Asari and quite honestly I have no idea what I’m going to do.

Thanks

I’m only mad because she went after my Mom.

She’s gone after me before. We have differing opinions on things like Birth Control and pre-marital sex and marriage and homosexuality and transgender people so this has caused a lot of issues. My primary relationship is with a woman and we plan on getting married and my Sister-In-Law has always been cordial to our faces but then turns around and drops vicious venomous lines about how “gays shouldn’t be allowed to marry” and how God is going to punish us to anyone else within hearing range.

I nearly killed her last Summer.

So it comes as ZERO surprise that she’s not chill with my romantic life but the thing is: she doesn’t have to be? I’m not dating her and I’m not asking her to do what I do. I’m not even asking her to accept what I do, I’m just asking her to ignore me.

If you cut her out of the picture entirely, not a single member of my immediate family was at all upset about my new beau. My mom and brother were excited for me even.

But, again, thanks for the sympathy (or empathy as your case may be, based on snippets I’ve seen of your own adventures). I’m still new to this end of the Poly thing and knowing I’m not in a vaccuum is really nice.

Marley doesn’t celebrate Valentines, but she capitalizes on discount candy the day after. (Chocolate dipped in blood is apparently delicious, but it’s hard to trust her taste).

Tabor picks up extra work shifts at the Coffee Shop and stares, somewhat sadly at all the couples. His friends, particularly Blake, are always good to repay him though.

So long as Scarlet doesn’t have to work, she and Amber have a very quiet and intimate day of pampering. It’s also the only day where spirits are banned (and salt lined) out of their home. Amber treasures Valentines as a holiday of peaceful ritual (and warm baths and sweet smells and deep kisses).

Piperit, although single, sends a professional Valentine to Marian and his respected library regulars. They’re all surprisingly sincere. He dotes on the “Featured” section (novels with romantic focus, usually heavy on YA material) more around this time of year than any other.

Nadia spends the day in the graveyard with the many spirits that have no where to go. She listens to their stories of love and passion and writes them down. She tries to get to everyone, but no one seems to mind as the day wanes and she grows tired. She sometimes takes breaks to buy flowers for the graves of the sadder spirits; a peaceful offering in dark times for the lost.

Hey Nova, you should tell me about what some of your OCs do for Valentine’s Day (SO or not)!

Okay!

Marian actually stresses really hard about Valentines day. The house is full of roses and candy. The kids love it. Her loves make her dinner and they have a lovely family night celebrating how much they all care about each other; romantically or otherwise.

Red Sand Angel takes Harmony to the Aquarium where they spend all day hanging out. Sandy sketches crabs while Harmony talks to all the sea creatures who can hear her beyond the glass. Everything goes well until she attempts to help the Octopus escape.

Doyle sits at home and plays music on an old record player. He has a glass of milk and pulls out a picture of his deceased wife. He contemplates going back in time, just to see her, but knows it’s foolhardy. The day is one of soft contemplation to soft music; a reflection of time and love and spirit.

Dulcie is busy with her family in the kitchen; Valentines is a popular time of year for them. She bakes cookies in the stone oven special; shaped like hearts. Her sisters ice them with steady hands and each bag of cookies has one. She takes a batch to school, iced with classmates names. 

Phineas brings Hope flowers from his private gardens and the two hang out. Everyone assumes its romantic, but really they spend their time talking about how Phineas has a huge crush on Crash and can’t bring himself to tell her. Hope helps him keep calm and reminds him that since they’re already friends, he shouldn’t have to worry so much. He never gets closer to admitting his feelings, but he appreciates the time he spends with Hope.

Jacqueline plans elaborate dinner dates with candles and music and atmosphere, but also refuses to be the one to set up the date (she’s the sort who should be swept off her feet, don’t you know). She leaves little notes all around to hint at what she wants. Of course, she also goes all out for Cayden; putting together a bundle of all his favorite things in an elegantly decorated gift basket.

Alice (the robot) spends her time in heavily trafficked date areas to observe couples. She takes down data and compiles advanced analysis of couples throughout the city for her databanks. She practices holding hands with herself and keeps pestering her friends to talk about their relationships for weeks afterwards.
