✦ Upcoming Stories*
✨ The Crossover Event: Unscripted
Our long-awaited crossover, Unscripted, created in collaboration with Josiah B Vale, is officially in production. We expect to release the first installment on Saturday, December 6, 2025. Two universes colliding, four men, and one cinematic, high-heat spiral of creativity and intimacy — this is the one we’ve been teasing for months. To celebrate, we’re running a 75% Off Black Friday Sale for new paid subscribers. The sale runs now through November 28th— and this will be the final sale of the year. If you’ve been waiting to join the House, this is the moment.
Muscle Memory
Ryan knows how to push through pain—study, lift, survive. But when Danny steps in to catch the bar before it crushes him, the lesson shifts. What happens between them isn’t planned; it’s reflex. Touch, breath, muscle, all memory in motion. Sometimes the body remembers what the mind won’t let it say.
Forever
Patrick’s rule is simple: never stay past seven. Aiden’s rule is simpler—don’t hope for more. But when the morning stretches past its limits, neither can pretend it’s casual anymore. Forever asks what happens when a moment built to end decides to stay.
*No firm release dates yet as I’ve been modifying the stories currently in release on the fly so some have more parts and some have less than when they were originally scheduled. But not worry, there’s plenty to look forward to until then.
🎯 Next Milestone: 900 Subscribers — The 8th Seat
When we reach 900 subscribers, I’ll unlock the next milestone release: The 8th Seat.
Brief Synopsis:
Rylan Hart and Nate Carver were once inseparable teammates — until a fracture neither of them could name sent them in opposite directions. Years later, tragedy leaves one seat open on a cross-country team, and Nate returns to claim it. In doing so, he slips back into Rylan’s orbit, reopening old wounds, old want, and the story they never finished. A tale of grief, loyalty, and the gravity of an unsaid goodbye.
Remember, Milestone Stories are free for everyone and then they go into the vault after 7 days. However, paid subscribers, retain access indefinitely.

🗝️ 3. Personal Stories — Behind the Curtain
Paid members will soon receive a new kind of story:
true-life, behind-the-scenes accounts of my own intimate, erotic encounters.
These aren’t fictionalized.
They’re the moments that shaped me, thrilled me, taught me, and sometimes wrecked me.
Think of them as the director’s commentary I’ve never shared… until now.
✦ Special Note: A Note on Messy Characters
I’ve been thinking about why some of my characters are messy — not for shock or drama, but in the human way. The way real people get tangled in their own wants, choose wrong before choosing right, or reach for something they can’t quite name.
I write them that way because we are that way.
We try to stay polished, composed, in control. But desire isn’t neat. Growth isn’t linear. And the moments that shape us almost never arrive wrapped in clarity.
So if you see yourself in the characters who slip, backslide, overreach, or complicate what could’ve been simple — that isn’t a flaw. That’s recognition.
It’s okay to be messy sometimes.
It’s honest.
It’s human.
Here in the House, we don’t hide the mess.
We let it teach us.
We let it move us.
And sometimes, we let it make us braver than we were before.
Until the next dispatch, keep your heart open and your pulse quickened.
The House of Thorne is only just getting started.
