Once the Others got infected with something that turned them rabid, it was Game Over, man. The civil world humans once clung to fell apart within a year and the land was broken up into territories where several different kinds of creatures held dominion. Humans tried to establish their own encampments, but they were just another food source to most of the monsters. Despite their best technological efforts, they were often set upon without discernment or mercy. People survived best in small migrating clans, reverting back to hunter and gatherer as they protected their kin and anyone they could manage to trust. Which happened to be in the exact opposite amounts of high supply.

This human’s task wasn’t complex but it was difficult. Jade traveled ahead of their clan as a scout, and worked their best to clear a path from destination to destination. As long as their group stayed away from the more pack-oriented creatures, they’d likely be fine. Most of the Others were strong foes, but animal-wild and untamed. There wasn’t much finesse to their fighting or hunting. They were easily outsmarted and overpowered with the right tools.

However, certain species were quickly rising to power due to how they outmatched humans more than 10 to 1. Werewolves, Shapeshifters, Vampires, Fae… There was no shortage of powerful, smart, and competent enemies humanity made itself over the many years of persecution and genocide. Some folklore was true where the Other’s individual weaknesses were concerned, but a lot was not. Stakes and sunlight wouldn’t kill vampires, but a beheading would do the trick —  something that was both messy and difficult. Nothing but silver could penetrate a werewolf’s skin, but it didn’t burn or poison them. They were still abnormally strong, just bleeding and pissed off. They were completely different from shapeshifters, a species with strengths and weaknesses that varied wildly depending solely on region.

Jade’s clan had been particularly vexed by a swarm of local Gargoyles, run by Chandra. The hardest thing to fathom other than all of her general majesty, was her impressive physicality. Chandra was about eight feet tall with four huge arms, and two legs, about as thick as tree trunks, and just as huggable. Jet black skin covered every inch of her muscular body, and faded, slate purple markings graced her, like wisps of clouds tantalizing the night sky. The Gargoyle queen had three eyes, all a pale and otherworldly lavender that seemed to glow with an unbearable heat and brilliance. Full lips, the kind that smiled during a battle, were a deep plum and hid fangs the size of Jade’s pinky finger. Her hair was long, lanky, and looked wine dark, like it was always soaked with blood. She was a vision and a terror all at once. She was Jade’s favorite nightmare.

Gargoyles varied greatly in their morphology, but they were generally big, some surpassing even ten feet tall. They were strong as most Fae, could wrestle a demon, and out-fly dragons with their enormous bat-like wings. They were unique looking, but still vaguely humanoid. The most arms Jade had seen on a ten-footer was six. The most legs they’d witnessed was eight. Eyes varied from 2 to 4, as depth perception was pretty necessary for flying. Most of them had horns or face protrusions like they might have inspired the Zabrak of Dathomir. Every single one of them had wicked fucking tails. Muscular, thick, and prehensile as fuck, the 5th limb was multifunction for flying, balance, locomotion, and defense. It was strong as an elephant and had the mobility of a python. It was almost more dangerous than the Gargoyle’s fangs and their massive claws. Regardless of all the impressive extremes and averages, Chandra was the baddest of them all.

Both of their families had almost hunted each other into extinction with the sort of dedication reserved for eons long family feuds. Their tale of sad destruction really only lasted about a decade, even before the world went all wrong a while back and the Others stopped hiding. Chandra’s father had killed Jade's mother. Their mother had killed her brother. Several relatives and tangential family friends had all been hurt in this way. It felt inevitable that it would come to this point between the two of them.

It felt like Chandra and Jade had been destined to destroy each other since birth. There’d been countless attempts on each other’s lives already. Jade had their scars with Chandra’s signature on them, and a permanent limp from a close to shattered knee. They’d left her a few presents too, like the explosive device of dubious design that had taken the gargoyle queen’s left foot. Next time she’d been sighted, it was with a mechanized foot that looked more than deadly. Jade would never admit it to anybody else, but they were impressed and envious of wicked looking prosthetic. Their father wouldn’t even let them use a cane.

Gargoyles were in fact pretty impervious compared to most of the weaknesses the Others had. Their collective species were evidently fae-adjacent and not demon-adjacent like originally thought. They were rather resistant to most magic. The “rock during the day” rumors might have been exaggerated, as it was likely more about the species being nocturnal, their unfairly tough skin, and universally muscular facade. They were incredibly smart, worked well in packs or on their own, and were generally the strongest when it came to corporeal beings and physical ability. They were carnivores, but didn’t feed solely on humans or gorge on blood and drama like some vampires and fae. Gargoyles were a type of warrior class. They took no shit, but could do a lot of harm. Being the tough fuckers they were, gargoyles really weren’t all that concerned with their surroundings. The beasts only seemed easy to sneak up on because they were literally always ready for a fight.

Jade spent a few hours traversing the woods, looking for tell-tale signs of the nocturnal monsters. Their clan wasn’t really planning on moving anywhere yet so it was the perfect chance for Jade to sneak out for a bit of experimentation. It wasn’t long before the scout stumbled upon a solitary beast in the shadows. The gargoyle clearly just finished up a midnight hunt. It was tying the cleaned and gutted carcass of a giant wild boar to a branch, likely to transport it back to the gargoyle nest. The shadows made it difficult to see, so Jade couldn’t tell the exact form they were watching. Deciding not to run the risk of missing their chance, Jade refused to hesitate and let their arrow fly. Any minute now, the scout would get to see if their hypothesis would supply any effect in the real world.

Thunk.

The arrow struck true and sunk right into the night beast’s chest, right where one of the hearts should be. Jade fought every urge in their body not to leap into the sky to fist pump for their accuracy. This arrow was their arsenal’s newest possible VIP — a Very Important Projectile. Jade had to be careful whilst testing it against their most vicious foe. Maybe they should have done some dedicated assessments on a few more lower level monsters first, but the scout was just too excited test its efficacy.

“Ouch!” A grating whisper shot through the night and a sudden chill went up Jade’s spine. “Damn this! Wha-what is this? I-is that peaches? It - Oh! It stinks!”

There was a loud sound like a cat hacking up a hairball and that was about the time Jade realized they might have been too hasty in forming an hypothesis based on rumors that were now, clearly, completely bunk.

“Oh shit…” Jade turned on their heel, and went to run.

“Oh shit is right.” The snarl came from the darkness directly in front of them right before they were snatched up like a fly in a frog’s maw.

Jade couldn’t see the force, but they sure felt it as the creature ripped them away with inhuman speed and drove their spine into the wide and unrelenting trunk of a Redwood several feet away from where they took their shot. Their bow fell from their hands on that first whiplash of wind and burst of speed from flapping wings. Jade was just about defenseless. Worthless! Completely worthless.

“I wouldn’t go that far…” The beast growled in a vaguely taunting tone that haunted Jade’s dreams.

Without realizing, Jade had managed to stalk none other than the Queen of the Gargoyles herself, Chandra. Drawn to one another, cataclysmically, disastrously, like they were two galaxies on intersecting orbits. An errant thought passed Jade’s mind, wondering why the queen of the gargoyles would be out so late without any protection. Jade had to swallow a sudden burst of rage and disgust at her guards’ abilities.

"Hmmm… chivalry was not expected…"

Scowling, they decided they weren’t going to decipher whatever extra meaning might lay in Chandra’s statement. Death may be imminent, but it didn’t mean they had to make it easy for the queen. They might be considered the runt of their litter (their mother’s words, not theirs), simultaneously sickly and soft, but they were scrappy and violent in a way most healthy and loved people couldn’t fathom.

Since Gargoyles were abnormally strong, going at it hand to hand was essentially fruitless. However, Jade’s lack of self preservation and field experience was made up for by research. They’d discovered a lot of things about these creatures, even if they were paltry facts. For example, peaches, or at least expired hand sanitizer scented with peach extract, was not adequate enough a dosage to fell the beasts. Whatever that last traveling troupe had meant when they said the monsters got ill after they had peaches must have been unfounded tripe.

"Hand sanitizer?! No wonder it stings! You might have poisoned me!"

Jade’s eyes went wide in shock and their mouth dropped open, and flapped soundlessly for a few beats. "I didn’t — I didn’t say any of that out loud." Jade gulped back breathe after breath as several horrifying realizations came tumbling along with the words coming out of their mouth. "Can you read minds!?"

The Gargoyle queen stared at them menacingly for a beat. Jade was completely guileless and Chandra almost felt guilty for wanting to lie straight to their face. “Damn it all, you weren’t supposed to figure that out quite so fast."

"You were almost repeating my words back to me verboten."

Chandra sighs and rolls all three of her ultraviolet eyes. "You know I’ll have to make you regret this,” she said with her deep, thrumming voice. There was a sub-quality to the tone that Jade couldn’t quite place. Something regretful. “You’re the only human that’s been a thorn in my side — for actual centuries. Even the damned Abenas aren’t as worrisome as you.”

Jade scowled back at Chandra, but didn’t quite know how to respond to that. It almost felt complimentary. The Redwood at their back was unrelenting, but so was Chandra’s stare, though the claw spanning their entire chest really held them pinned. Their stomach did a little flip with how close Chandra leans in. She had to bend practically in half to get her face on Jade’s level. Jade can taste the spice on her breath, it's so tantalizing their own mouth watered and their legs started to shake. They must be afraid.

“You’re a curious one.” Chandra inhales deeply and though her eyes focus on Jade, she hasn’t worked her magic and sent them into a trance. “Your family treats you as negligible, but you’re the only one that’s unpredictable and innovative. I like that.” Her smiles shows off her long fangs and Jade gulps back a very distraught feeling that makes their stomach burn and their bones feel hollow.

“I don’t happen to care what you think,” Jade shot back through grit teeth.

Chandra smiled wickedly. “You might like it though…”

“Huh??” Jade felt that smile like a punch in their gut and deflated. It was only panic at the sensations much deeper than their belly that had them getting defensive. “What are you doing to me? Why am I sweating?”

"Hot and bothered are we?" Chandra’s grin sharpened, “We could take off our clothes.”

Jade did a double take at that lascivious smile of hers. Her tongue snuck out to moisten her bottom lip and Jade’s eyes crossed. “We could… what?”

Chandra laughed. “I forgot, your family is a bunch of puritans! They haven’t learned what fun we can all have together. Such unimaginative bores. I wager they were immeasurably cruel when you came out sickly.”

Sirens sounded off inside Jade’s head as shame and rage spiked. They lashed out wildly, managing to head-butt Chandra right in the third eye on her forehead, which was annoying enough to be like a poke for a human that she dropped Jade like a hot potato.

Jade was slow to realize they were free. It took a blink, but they got right to it, scrambling away on all fours, leaving the groaning and cursing Chandra behind them.

After a tirade in her own language, Chandra roared loud enough Jade felt it in their tailbone and the entire forest went silent. The only thing that could be heard after the fact, was Jade’s thundering escape attempts through the brush, like an asthmatic family of screaming weasels. The gargoyle backflipped into the air and swooped after the crawling human. As her thick and strong tail wrapped around Jade, they screamed. They screamed and screamed as she made her ascent. At one point, the human suddenly went quiet, but with how fast Chandra flew, the wind could easily drown out the sound. Chandra, was much more accustomed to other hunters stabbing at her, screaming at her, and hurling frightening curses and slurs in their language at her. It was almost disappointing this human’s fight went right out of them. After making sure the skies were clear, Chandra looked over her shoulder and spied on the small human in her grasp. Their arms and legs flapped in the wind as if they were made of ribbons instead of muscle and bone. That was when Chandra realized that Jade was no longer conscious.

She cussed in her own language and dropped to the nearest rooftop that she knew was secure. The way Jade uncoiled from her tail, bodily flopping out like a dead fish, was somehow endearing. While she waited, Chandra took a closer look at Jade for the first official time. They’d attacked each other in person of course, fought several times, but Chandra had never seen them quite this close. Never looking so relaxed, not even resembling something close to this serene and unguarded. She got to enjoy herself, as it took a minute for Jade to finally gasp themselves awake.

Once those grey eyes settled on Chandra’s there was almost a moment of relief that made the human’s shoulders droop. Then they seemed to remember themselves and had the sense to scream. They scrambled away from Chandra and hit the brick wall at their back, never taking their eyes off of her. Chandra stood there, amusedly waiting while Jade got to their feet. They clung to the waist high wall and glared back at her.

"This building is secure, but I would still caution you to be careful of the edge." Chandra tried to sound uninterested but stern. She took perch safety very seriously, and she couldn’t help the way her tail twitched to wrap around Jade’s slim ankle — to secure them yes, but also yank them back to her side. They were so frail and hadn’t any wings or protuberances to armor their descent. From experience, Chandra knew exactly what to expect to happen to the little human if they did fall from such a height.

Jade, still scowling, finally glanced at what they were clinging to and noticed the waist high wall had an 80 story drop on the other side. "FUCK ME!!" They screeched and flailed in the opposite direction, back towards Chandra, and wrapped their arms around the thick waist of the gargoyle towering above her.

"Uhm…" Chandra starts, arms up and out of Jade’s way.

"THAT’S SO FUCKING HIGH!" They screeched again.

Chandra opened her mouth to respond with a jest. She thought of the young gargoyles who used these sorts of buildings as their training perches. That’s how negligible a height it was to a fully grown gargoyle. It was rumored her kind could even soar among the stars, though no one had tried in close to a thousand years.

But gargoyles were not made of leaf like skin and soggy bones like humans were. What a strange creature to seek out and cling to someone who had wounded them, maimed them, been violent beyond sense and had delighted in it… Yet this little human held on so tight it — Chandra wasn’t sure anyone had trusted her so surely in her entire life.

She recalled how the poor human lost consciousness mid flight and a surge of protectiveness burned anew in her chest. She wrapped her arms and tail around the human in a heart beat and held them snugly to her side. Poor Jade hadn’t stopped shaking and their breathing was starting to become uneven. Though gargoyles had four lungs that helped them breathe in just about any atmosphere, including underwater, Chandra knew what hyperventilation looked like. She dropped to her knees and at once was eye to eye with the human scout, awkwardly clinging to her tail as they jostled together.

Chandra was a little surprised by the look of Jade finally fully de-cloaked. They were olive skinned with night-black hair and dark grey eyes. Their elfin features were more than dainty when juxtaposed with Chandra’s warrior won hands. She cradled the beautiful face in a grasp that only possessed the recent memory of violence, and hummed softly. "You’re safe little one, I won’t let any harm befall you." She surprised herself by meaning it.

Jade’s eyes flicked all around the space, not really focusing on anything. Chandra didn’t want to stun the poor creature, as they were already so distressed and disoriented, adding another round of moving and unconsciousness might even make them ill.

"You’re too worthy an opponent to let something like heights hinder you." Chandra scowled, a larger than expected part of her actually did want them healthy and strong. How else could they engage in their fair and dastardly battle of sanity and strategy? She looks up and down Jade and sees her efforts are fruitless. Their breathing is becoming more unstable.

"Breathe, Jade before I must make you," Chandra delivers in her most aggressive snarl and it finally brings Jade’s attention to Chandra, as tears shined on their cheeks.

The urge that overcomes her surprises them both, but not until well after they pull apart from the kiss. Chandra has her hands in Jade’s hair and they straddled her thigh to get closer. There’s definitely no space left between them.

"Holy shit…" Jade whispered, lips centimeters away from Chandra’s.

The look on their face is one of pure shock and terror. Chandra feels a sense of shame and rage brewing in her soured gut. Of course something as delicate and soft as Jade could never see the appeal of a monster like her. Even most of her own kind feared her. She wasn’t even the biggest, meanest, or ugliest. Maybe she was the strongest, in the sense that she knew how to fight and had bested every adversary she’d ever met.

Except this one…The one that always got back up again. The one that came back with a fight ten fold fiercer than before. This little human had cut her the deepest and took root, making themself a home beneath her skin. She fought the urge to bare her fangs and roar in the little flower’s face out of shame and need. The only thing that cut through the deluge of defensiveness was a tiny whimper. Her eyes met Jade’s. They are wide, welling with tears, and they stared right through Chandra like they could see down to her soul. Chandra shifts her balance and with the way the human perches on her thigh, this shifts them too. They whimper again.

Beautiful.

They hadn’t taken their eyes off of each other, silent and in shock. Chandra took the biggest risk of her life and let her hands drop from the human’s hair. The long elegant fingers her mother once claimed would make the most beautiful music, wrapped around their hips. Though they are softer than many of her other human adversaries, Chandra has never held a finer treasure in her hands.

Using the grip she had on Jade’s hips, Chandra forced them into a slow grind on the hard muscle of her flexing thigh. Jade whimpered again and Chandra found herself finally believing her mother. Suddenly, the crown felt bereft without the ability to devote herself to something truly divine, like finding every single way to get this little human make that sound again. Chandra leaned in to kiss them with urgency.

"Wait!" Jade’s little fingers slipped between the both of their mouths and created a genuine enough barrier that Chandra bounced right off.

She pulled away with a sour looking scowl. "Move those damned things before I bite them off."

Jade surprised themself by laughing at the look on Chandra’s face.

"You mock me now, human?" Chandra grumbled and went to move the human off her leg.

"NO!" Jade wrapped themselves around Chandra’s available limbs, which was to clamp their thighs around Chandra’s, and her arms around her tail. It effectively halted Chandra from standing, but only by cuteness. She could easily over power the small human but she decided against it and huffed back into her crouch. Jade is careful as they continue. They want Chandra to understand that it was far more about being pleasantly surprised. "Your face was just cute. It caught me off guard." They realized they were staring at Chandra’s mouth and forced their gaze up to her lavender eyes. "I wasn’t laughing at you."

Chandra leveled her with a significant side-eye and gave a real HMPH that landed in her shoulders. "If you find me so cute, why did you stop me from both kissing you and also removing myself from your touch?"

Jade scowled wondering why they did do that. "I guess I got a little spooked?"

Chandra looked particularly vexed. "Because I’m a hideous monster?"

The human frowned further. "You’re not hideous or a monster!"

Chandra scowled at them, aggressively confused. She harrumphs, clearly aggravated. "Because I am your enemy?"

Jade huffed out a sigh. "Shit, that … didn’t even cross my mind…"

Chandra growled but managed to catch herself when she noticed how every little thing aboutJade clenched at the sound. "What is it then, human? What causes you such deep distress due to my touch?"

"It’s not distress exactly. That was— you’re — my — uhhhh— That was my first kiss with a woman. Or non human man…" Her face twists up in distaste at the statement. "…That sucks to center."

Chandra stared at her goggled eyed and enraged. "Did I misread your warrior’s station?" She looks Jade up and down, deeply concerned. "Do humans make their children fight in wars!?"

"I’m an adult!" Jade shouted. "I’m just… sheltered and… bookish!"

Chandra seemed to settle then. "So a human woman has never captured your fancy?"

"I mean… I’ve liked a few people, but things just wouldn’t have worked out. It’s not like they ever told me they were romantically interested, or whatever." Jade scoffed. "Honestly I was thinking I might as well be celibate…"

The gargoyle did her best to curtail her snarl, both at her distaste for the idea of celibacy, and the desperate need to be this little flower’s one and only Gargoyle lover. "But you felt it?" She verified, her fingers involuntarily clenched. "I didn’t imagine the heat between us?"

Jade gulped back their remaining trepidation for the near volcanic bubbling in the pit of their stomach. "Yeah, I think I fucking felt it."

"Oh, I intend to be sure you do." Chandra swept Jade back up into another intense kiss and winding embrace.

Their mouths were slightly mismatched being such different sizes, but both were determined to pace themselves and learn the other. The rush wasn’t from the frantic way they consumed each other’s mouths, but in the way their lips took time to feel where they matched best to the other’s, like puzzle pieces slotting into place. Jade felt dizzy for how Chandra’s mouth commanded their submission in a way that was sweeter and softer than a birdsong. They just about lost consciousness when they felt Chandra’s split tongue tease at the seam of their lips. Jade acquiesced, submitting to the Gargoyle by opening their mouth, and doing so with enthusiasm and glee.

Once she had permission, Chandra descended up on Jade, and her split tongue swept past their plump lips. The warmth of Chandra’s mouth was exquisite and Jade couldn’t help the moan that came full-bore from their throat with zero throttle. Shame didn’t have time to take root once the moan vibrated up Chandra’s thick tongue.

The gargoyle became incensed by the sensation and sound. Her large hands traveled the expanse of Jade’s soft body, fingertips digging in like she intended to stake her claim. Heated kisses stole the seconds away while traveling hands squandered minute after minute on each others’ skin. They couldn’t have kept track of the time passing, not with the heat generated between them. There was nothing passive about it at all, they could barely contain themselves or the sounds they made. Yet the night cradled their secret with a reverence reserved for little else.

“Can I touch you more?” Chandra begged so prettily as her fingertips shook against Jade’s soft flesh. Things were reaching a dangerous level of breathlessness, even for a being with four lungs.

“Please!” Jade’s reply was aiming for timid but came out clearly desperate.

Chandra hummed in approval and her hands traveled, two wrapped around their waist, the others curled around the thighs still straddling one of hers. The tip of her tail slithered up the back of one of Jade’s legs and followed up their spine. She pulled away and spread Jade’s legs wider, eyes glistening as she gazed down at the apex of their thighs, still clad in all their weapons harnesses and warriors garb. The tip of her tail curled over Jade’s shoulder and slowly slithered down the center of their chest.

“I’m sure by now humans have learned Gargoyles have glands that dispense poison from our fangs.” Chandra smiled at the way Jade nodded, dazedly. “What you likely don’t know is that these glands are capable of producing more than poison. Say, disinfectant.”

Chandra’s tail lifted away from Jade’s chest, and they couldn’t hide the way they whimpered and tried to follow it’s touch. The tip of her tail approached her lips and she smiled in a wicked way that had Jade trembling.

"Lubricant…" She accepted the limb into her mouth and coated it with her saliva mixed with the disinfectant, conveniently cleaning the limb. She swiftly did the same to all her own fingers. Then her third arm took one of Jade’s hands and brought it to her lips.

Chandra took their thumb into her mouth, swirling the tips of her split tongue around the cute little appendage, effectively cleansing it. Gargoyles were an ancient species and notoriously clean, and clearly thorough, as she repeats the painstaking process with each little finger. She effectively slathers her tongue over the human’s palm, and a fang ghosts across the veins in their wrist, causing them to shudder.

“I’m going to touch you, human. How badly do you want it?” Chandra’s voice made the blood at their pulse throb.

Jade could do little else but nod enthusiastically.

Chandra still had two hands on either of Jade’s thighs, always keeping them safe and steady. Another snaked into their hair and yanked on the braid, forcing their glistening eyes up to hers. She wrapped the long cord around her hand with a devious smile and uses her last hand to tilt Jade’s chin up with her fingertips. “Tell me exactly how badly, pet.”

“Really fucking bad,” Jade’s voice cracked mid sentence and they grimaced.

Chandra traced the backside of her long claw down the side of Jade’s face. “Never be ashamed of your need, Jade. Especially when it is mine to slake.” She dove back in for a searing kiss that had Jade wriggling on her thigh. One hand snaked up their stomach to capture a breast in her large hand. Jade bent to her touch and Chandra growled in delight with the way she could already feel their nipple puckering beneath the fabric. With a growl, her tail curled around Jade’s neck.

They moan super loud, to the point both of them are taken aback by the sound and pop away from each other’s mouths in shock. They stare at each other goggle eyed and then burst into hearty laughter.

“So my little nemesis likes things a little rough?” She punctuated this with a light squeeze around Jade’s throat.

Jade could still nod, but rasped out, “More than a little.”

Chandra’s grin is luminous. “Most humans who say that are ill-prepared for my passions.”

Jade scowled. “Try me,” they snarled with the depth of a threat of a lifetime on their lips, and an 'or else' lingering on the air.

Chandra chuckled a bit evilly at that and then sighed, “I intend to little one. But another time, as it truly requires some preparation for your soft little body and I would direly likely to take my time with it. However,” her smile exposed her elongated fangs, “until that time, I have designs.”

Her tail’s grip tightened on Jade’s throat and carefully lifted them off her thigh. While suspended, there was the slight loss of oxygen as Chandra divested Jade of all their clothing. She quickly followed suit, careful not to deprive the human too long before she placed them back on her crouching thigh, thick and bulging with muscle. Jade licked their lips just staring at the muscles of her thigh. It wasn’t until her tail removed itself from their neck that Jade looked up, displeased. They met Chandra’s lust filled gaze and couldn’t help the smile that bloomed on their face. Realizing they’d get to see a fully naked female gargoyle for the first time, and that it was one as hot as Chandra made Jade return to their senses. They finally took in her form…

And she was gorgeous.

In the way of people built to be strong, she was thick in every place she needed to be — which was all over. Her skin was soft, indestructible, and plump, fitted over corded muscle, long earned from a difficult life spent fighting. Her chest wasn’t all that different from Jade’s, as gargoyles only produced small broods, they had two teats like humans, but they were flatter and definitely more muscular. Jade was automatically distracted with the dire need to have their hands on Chandra’s chest and her nipples in their mouth. Their hands raised up and they leaned in, but froze before ever broaching their new goddess’s space. “May I touch you?”

“I insist.” Chandra smiled and went to kiss the human again but Jade swooped around the alluring mouth and began kissing her neck, sloppily lathing their tongue over the muscles of her throat. Chandra moaned into their ministrations, and her first set of hands sunk into the base of their hair, the other dropped to Jade’s hips and began grinding them on her thigh again. When she felt the spot of wetness form on her skin, she growled with delight and fucked the little human harder on her leg.

Jade would moan but they were far too busy lapping at Chandra’s large nipples and tugging the stiff peaks into their mouth. This was a relatively familiar dance as they alternated between sucking, kissing, and biting while their second hand splayed across her other breast and played with that nipple. They were surprisingly pale in color.

While teasing her nipples with their mouth, Jade’s other hand sneaked between Chandra’s legs and then froze. They left a soft kiss on her nipple, didn’t stop the touching, but pulled away just slightly, eyes crossing with the way Chandra ground their clit onto her leg. They refocused, shaking their head and looked down at Chandra’s crotch and realized they hadn’t the slightest clue what they were dealing with.

It wasn’t exactly alarming, just unfamiliar. She had two protuberances on the mound between her thighs that seemed to be steadily elongating the more Jade touched her. A little patch on the top of her mound was a spot of hairless skin that puckered into a bumpy ridged patch. Underneath all those was some wrinkly skin that resembled testicles, but as they engorged, they plumped up to look more like vulva with a soft lavender peach fuzz. Jade decided honesty was key. “I don’t quite know what I’m doing, even if you were human. And I really don’t want to hurt you.”

Chandra laughed into the kiss she placed on their neck. “Not that you could hurt me, little mouse, but your sentiment is appreciated. That’s a kindness not even mates always make.”

Jade’s hand urgently moved to cradle Chandra’s face and there was such a tragic knowing that happened between them it seemed to splinter time. They both looked shocked to the core by the touch. Jade stared at their hand on her face and sighed, realizing they were far past the point of gone for this incredible creature. “I know it seems counter to our entire existence so far, but… I really just want to treat you with the reverence you deserve.”

Chandra’s hands were long and slender despite her warrior’s bearing and the thick fingers wrapped around Jade’s neck and tugged them close with a snarl. “Keep romancing me, little human, and maybe you will get a taste of what this Gargoyle can truly do to your softness.” She smiled and kissed the dazed Jade. “All Gargoyle morphology is different. The stalks function as ovipositors, the lower front hole is where we deposit eggs and the young emerge during birth. The last hole is for waste, but like humans, is sensitive and pleasurable.”

Jade smiled wide and looked back down. Slowly, they reached over, delicately brushing a finger over the little bump at the top of her mound that puckered and textured under their touch. When Chandra shuddered beneath them, they just about came on the spot because of the way she moaned and bit her lip. Their fingers started out gently, but they carefully escalated the touch with the similar pressure and precision they operated their own clit.

Chandra moaned into Jade’s mouth and her hands curved around their legs so her thumbs could massage Jade’s inner thighs. Jade rolled their body into the touch and Chandra hummed something melodic, sounding deeply pleased. Her thumbs snaked in closer and eventually sunk into the wet heat of Jade’s dripping cunt.

They wailed into Chandra’s mouth and she took the opportunity to deepen the kiss, swirling the tips of her tongue around Jade’s in a crazed need to taste every inch of them. She pumped her long thick fingers into Jade who squirmed against her and a surge of wetness coated their inner thighs. Their little hands shifted and they wrapped one around the thick ovipositor on the right while the one on the left continued to swell with their need. Chandra couldn’t help the way her hips canted into their touch.

“Oh fuck!” The little human yelped so sweetly as her cunt tried to strangle Chandra’s fingers.

“Excellent, pet,” Chandra growled, fucking harder into her, “I require more.” One thumb then swiped over their drenched, pulsing slit. They whined long and loud at the sensation of the rough pad of Chandra’s thumb torturing their clit.

Chandra gasped into the kiss when Jade’s fingers found the engorged flesh beneath her ovipositors. A wetness formed there and so Jade approached it much like their own pussy. They touched the outer lips carefully, eliciting a delightful mewl from the queen’s lips. “More,” she moaned into Jade’s mouth, “I will not break.”

“God, you’re so fucking beautiful,” Jade muttered dazedly into her mouth, as their fingers slowly stretched and spread inside Chandra’s wetness. The queen moaned high and sweet and Jade felt wetness gush onto their fingers as the lower lips throbbed. They slid one finger into Chandra’s slit and the Gargoyle shouted, her hips bucked, and she practically shot off like a cannon. “Oh fuck, please do that again,” Jade demanded or begged, it didn’t matter, she was stuck staring at her body in pure wonder.

“More,” Chandra begged.

Jade’s eyes widened in a daze while she added another finger and another, chasing the moans coming out of the Gargoyle’s mouth while they stroked her ovipositor and fucked into her cunt. She was slick and warm and wrapped firmly around Jade. Their own cunt practically pulsed along with Chandra’s as she came all over Jade’s hand and drenched her.

“Holy fuck, you’re perfect.” Jade leaned in, kissing Chandra as she came down from the high of an orgasm, still working her thumbs a little dazedly against Jade’s slit.

“Enough,” Chandra wept suddenly.

Jade yelped as Chandra dropped to both knees and lifted them up by the grip her tail had around their neck. They barely felt the pressure, even thought they could do with a little more roughness. But Chandra, knowing exactly her own strength, treated Jade with utmost care and adoration. Once her face was level with Jade’s cunt, she licked her lips and was about to dive in. Then she felt Jade’s little hands slip into her hair and give a harsh little tug. Chandra looked up and caught her tormentor’s gaze.

“I know you are strong,” Jade pleaded. “But I like pain and I will not break either,” they concluded with determination weighing on her brow.

“Very well lover, tell me to stop and I will.” Chandra pleaded right back, the slightest sense of fear tainting her need. But the small fingers in her hair tightened again and drove her gaze to the little human all wrapped up in her tail and hands. Somehow, she’d say they had the tighter grip on her.

“Do. Not. Fucking. Stop.” Jade practically snarled.

Chandra grinned wickedly, and said, “As you wish,” right before sinking her long fangs into Jade’s inner thigh.

Jade shouted and then choked off into silence when her mouth landed on their pussy. Her mouth expertly moved between their folds, suckling, pinching, and nibbling gently on the engorged lips. Her bifurcated tongue pinched their clit and massaged the little bud with an exacting precision that had them cumming and screaming Chandra’s name off the rooftop.

“Heavens yes, make sure the gods know who fucks you so perfectly,” Chandra growled and tightened the grip around Jade’s neck. It caused them to finally inhale a deep breath, still dazed by the sensations caused by her dancing tongue. Chandra cupped Jade’s thighs in her hands and squeezed them firmly, diving back in to lavish a little more adoration on Jade’s cunt. Chandra’s long tongue slid into Jade, in and out, thrusting deeper than most cocks she’d had. The way she rolled her tongue inside of them eked out a scream and another tortuous orgasm or four.

"Please…" Jade begged, gasping, involuntarily fighting against Chandra’s strength holding them in place as they spasmed in rapture, "please, I need to taste you or I’ll die."

Chandra smiled into their cunt and gave it one last lingering lick. As she stood, she adjusted the light little Jade, her tail letting go to drop them into her arms. She walked them over to a nearby utility box on the roof that was no longer really in use. She perched the little human on the edge, bottom first. Then she lifted their legs and swung them around so they faced away from her.

Jade looked up over their shoulder at Chandra, a little confused for their position.

She winked down at Jade, "Trust me."

And to Jade’s greatest shock, they did. Chandra grabbed Jade’s waist and scooted them further onto the utility box and then her tail came whipping around and slowed right in front of Jade’s face. It poked them in the chest softly and kept the pressure on until they started reclining and eventually were laid out on their back with their head hung over the edge. Staring upside down at Chandra was alarming in the sense that she was just as gorgeous in this way as right-side up. She was also still enormously tall. But as she knelt, she curled her fingers into Jade’s hair and lifted their lips to meet hers.

"Open your mouth beloved," Chandra licked the words into Jade’s mouth, and they moaned as she pulled away from the kiss. It was then Chandra positioned her crotch right at eye and mouth level to Jade’s position.

Jade thought they might have died and gone to heaven. In most cases, someone might directly go to get one of the stalks in their mouth, but when Jade was just about wrist deep in Chandra and she came all over Jade’s hand, Jade hand’t been able to think about much else but the scent of her since. They used their hands to grab onto Chandra’s engorged stalks and lifted them out of the way. Jade wasn’t completely oblivious, they’d watched a significant amount of pornography since their ridiculous clan constantly forced them to confiscate it and "destroy" it. So, one at a time, they reached down between their own legs and covered their hands in their own wetness before wrapping slick hands around Chandra’s ovipositors and slowly started pumping them up and down.

Chandra’s eyes rolled back into her head and she growled into the sky with fangs reflecting moonlight like diamonds. Jade knew they had to make her do that again and again until they couldn’t see straight, until they died of dehydration. Even though this position meant they couldn’t watch Chandra come again, they needed to taste her more. When they refocused, between her absolutely amazing thighs they realized they could probably camp here for days and never need anything else for sustenance ever again. They took a deep breath, inhaling more of that spiced scent that made them nearly light headed with desire. It was concentrated and thicker between her legs and all Jade wanted to do was drown in her.

Their lips met hers and they buried their face in her slit and used the fattest part of their tongue to start exploring. They lapped at the outer lips, covered in that soft fuzz that soaked up her juices like a sponge so Jade could drink down her glut like the ambrosia it was. When they moaned into her cunt like an addict getting a fix, Chandra’s hips canted right into their mouth.

"Fucking hell," she snarled and one of her hands tangled into Jade’s hair, holding them firmly in place so she could whine her hips and grind into Jade’s tongue. She gasped loudly and came with a shout of Jade’s name and something else in her mother tongue. She almost pulled away but Jade let go of one of her stalks in order to wrap as much of their arm around her thigh as if they could keep her in place. Then they ardently dove back into the gargoyle’s wet cunt and drank some more.

After a slight wail and some twitching thighs, Jade felt Chandra bend over them, slamming her palms into the utility box, using it for stability as she ground against Jade’s face and moaned. She regained enough sense and that’s when Jade felt her large hands on their body.

Chandra explored the soft planes of Jade’s frame, their breasts were full and heavy in her large hands. Hands that were capable of great and terrible things. Hands the little Jade bowed upwards into, actually seeking her touch. Not even quieting the loud moan that was completely garbled by the fact that her face was deep in Chandra’s gushing pussy. Pinching their dark nipples, Chandra leaned over and dragged her split tongue down the valley between the human’s breasts. She traversed to their navel where she swirled her tongue and then traveled back up to take their nipples into her mouth.

Jade almost blacked out with pleasure when Chandra’s tongue pinched and tugged their nipple between her teeth and she bit down. She was already cumming again when Chandra’s hand reached down and forced Jade’s thighs open. With one hand steadying her, the other three were on their breast and holding their thighs open. The last sensation that coiled around Jade’s leg and up in between their thighs was her tail. When the thick tip of Chandra’s tail started nudging against Jade’s entrance, they whined into Chandra’s wetness. The tail slipped between their slick lips and immediately stretched Jade’s tight hole. Though they were absolutely drenched from pleasure, and the tail slid in smoothly, the girth started just below two inches and only increased in size the further it got closer to the base of Chandra’s spine. Jade screamed as their cunt spasmed and clenched around Chandra’s thick tail wriggling inside of her.

"Beautiful," Chandra muttered into Jade’s mound, surging once again into their wetness to seek out more pleasure for them both.

The two of them canted against each other. Moaning and groaning were the most they could get their begging to be coherent. Their bodies sought out sensations from the other, coiling a heat between them that had them gasping for more. Another orgasm shook Chandra’s legs and as the human screamed out, forced to cum, impaled on Chandra’s writhing tail. She listed to the side, stumbling to her knees and the two finally separated, bodily apart, but joined in this new magical way that had them staring at each other with the most desperate sense of need and knowing they’d ever experienced.

They both moved on instinct, like it was something more than gravity pulling them together. The cataclysm of their bodies was an explosion of pleasure, Chandra’s hands were everywhere,  Jade’s arms and legs were scrambling to straddle the gargoyle, just to get her closer. Their mouths met in a hissing, moaning heat, and Chandra finally settled Jade in her lap. As they pulled apart Jade looked down, wide eyed and eager.

"Damn, you self lubricate?" They reached a hand down and stroked one ovipositor and then the next. They looked up at Chandra and she was biting her thick lower lip in a way that made Jade extremely jealous.

"We do, it helps with egg fertilization. None of which are going to be deposited in you." Chandra felt the surge of wetness in her lap and took in the deep blush on Jade’s cheeks. She did her best not to laugh, "Unless that is of course, appealing to the naughty little human?"

"Ummmmmm…" Jade’s voice cracked again and they probably could have cum just by the way Chandra chuckled deep in her gut.

"We can discuss our options later," Chandra’s hands splayed across Jade’s body and their mouths collided again. "Are you ready for me?"

Jade nodded into the kiss and reached down, pushing one of Chandra’s hands out of the way, just so they could be the one to grip the slick, throbbing member, and slide her ovipositor into their tight, wet cunt. All the while Chandra was careful as she positioned her secondary ovipositor and easily slipped into Jade’s ass.

Fire burned through Jade and it wasn’t the least bit because of pain. The heat that surged through them rebounded back into Chandra once she was fully seated inside of Jade. They stared at each other, heart beat to heart beat, inside and through, and exhaled a single shaking breath before diving back into each other’s mouths.

Chandra laid Jade back onto the utility box and slowly rolled her hips to gauge Jade’s reaction.

Jade, not to be misinterpreted, screamed Chandra’s name and came around her thick ovipositors with a pulsating pleasure that shook their spine. Chandra held Jade in place by her grip on their hip, her other hand planted on the utility box, and the others held their head in place while she kissed them. Her tail wound up and around one of Jade’s ankles, hiking it up and holding it firmly around her own thick waist as she fucked into them with a newfound abandon.

Jade felt belligerent with pleasure. The only sound they could make outside of guttural screams and moans were the components of Chandra’s name. Just not necessarily all strung together right. She was thick and slick with each thrust, pulsating inside of Jade like their hearts beat and lungs breathed just for one another. The engorged ovipositors were ridged and veiny, stretching Jade to what they believed were truly their limits, but the combined self-made slick made the ovipositors slide in and out with ease. It was like every heated brush of flesh was a sonnet tapped in Morse code along their inner walls. Jade was coming again in no time.

Chandra groaned right into Jade’s mouth as they came around her again. The combined wetness from their masterful fucking was pooling between them, aiding the obscene slaps of their flesh against one another. Chandra knew her grip was too tight but she couldn’t stop, not with the way Jade whined and cried for her touch whenever there was even a second of relieved pressure. She was suddenly incredibly happy to have four hands to hold them with, and they seemed eager for her touch too.

“Harder!” Jade begged, finally coherent enough to form words. They bucked up into Chandra, eyes rolling in the back of their head as their hands grappled for her supple but tough skin. They grip one of her arms and their other splayed across her chest to tug and twist at her nipples.

"Fuck!" Chandra roars. She cannot take it, she looks down at Jade laid beneath her, flush and covered with soft welts and bite marks from all the places Chandra left a piece of herself. There was never a day she’d let pass where Jade’s skin wouldn’t bear her mark, her promise. With that, Chandra starts coming, her orgasm squeezes and pulses her ovipositors, making them flex and inflate inside of the tight little Jade in quick succession. The flexing aids the eggs getting deposited, but like she promised, none came. The feeling is still utmostly exquisite. It seems mind shattering for them both.

Chandra pulses, thickens, and elongates inside of Jade several more times. Jade is taken aback by the sensation, feeling quadruple fucked with the way Chandra coming undone made them soar. As they gaze up in wonder, orgasm absolutely frying their neurotransmitters, the gargoyle queen arches back and her wings shoot out as she screams her pleasure. Jade thinks this must be what humans think angels look like, because they’ve never seen anything so beautiful in their entire life. Her pert breasts are close enough for Jade to take into their mouth but they can’t possibly steal their eyes away from Chandra’s beautiful face. The moon illuminates her from behind. She glows like a goddess, as she comes inside them.

Jade can’t stop coming. They’re coming so hard they smell colors and feel the way Chandra tastes as she kisses them in their toes. Their orgasm is continuous and the clenching mess of wetness they make together is a riot of pleasure and need. The way they are joined is so thorough and deep they can’t untangle from each other, not even if they wanted to.

Sweaty and disheveled, Jade finally feels the night wind on their skin and shivers. They are not entirely cold, but with all the wetness the two generated between sweating and elsewhere, there’s a lot to feel pretty fresh with a cool wind.

"Sorry, my sweet." Chandra mutters and hunches over Jade protectively. Her wings spread out and curl around them. Jade’s eyes are wide as they shiver, the beauty of Chandra has not waned even after their frantic love-making. She might have actually gotten more beautiful.

"It’s f-f-f-fine! We’re outside! That’s expect-t-t-ed!" Jade nods.

Chandra purses her lips and frowns. Its clear she’s trying not to laugh.

Jade rolls their eyes and laughs at themselves which just turns into another full body shudder.

"I’ve got to put some meat on you, sweet thing." Chandra finally lets her smile free and it is glorious. Not as pretty as when she comes, but it rivals the way she fights in battle, an unhinged and beautiful terror.

"More?" Jade looks down at themselves, always teased for being round and soft growing up. They weren’t as solidly built as some of their clan, but they were not tiny at all. Then again, their eyes trail up and around the gorgeous gargoyle and they realize its all a bit relative, isn’t it?

Chandra chuckled, "Of course more. It looks like they barely feed you and care for you." While she talked her tail swung around, almost as if it had a mind of its own, grabbing at Jade’s clothes. She carefully extricated herself from Jade, who let out one more shuddering moan. When her eyes were capable of rolling from the back of her head, she looked at Chandra, who was biting her lip.

"Okay, that look makes me want to do it again, but not on a roof please." Jade mutters playfully as they distractedly get dressed.

Chandra snickers into one of her hands. "Oh humans, you’re all so delicate."

Jade rolls their eyes and laughs all the same. "Sue me for not being indestructible!"

Chandra shrugs. "One and the same."

Jade laughs and snorts. Her hands slap over her face in horror. She’s mortified she let that slip in front of the goddamn Queen of Gargoyles. Of all possible people!?

Suddenly Chandra swoops in front of Jade and is pulling at their hands. Even though she could easily overpower Jade, she doesn’t. She just indicates her displeasure and urgency with gentle little tugs and a lot of annoyance. "Why do you hide? What was that delightful sound. Was that you?"

"Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god —," Jade keeps muttering as tears build behind her closed lids.

"You smell of…shame?" Chandra’s breath left her. "Are you ashamed of this? Of us?" She looks down at all four of her hands, a freak of nature in every way the humans see. She’s their monster. Horror replaces the previous joy in her heart. She didn’t… force herself…did she?

Suddenly small hands grasp at her face. Jade bolted from her hiding spot the second Chandra started spiraling. She climbed up the tall gargoyle and forced her three eyes to their two, searching for the connection and desperate to not let it slip.

"There is no way I would be ashamed of you." Jade said plainly and with the severity of a death sentence. And maybe with how their families felt about one another, this was ill-advised. But there was no changing this. The two of them had been altered. Irreversibly so.

"Then what —?"

"I thought —" Jade hates themself suddenly, "I thought you’d make fun of me for snorting. People always make fun of me." She defeats and sighs a certain level of defeat. Projection was frustrating. "I’m sorry."

Chandra hissed lowly. "I can guarantee I am nothing like any person you have ever met. Or monster."

"You’re not a —,"

"I am. Just like your people have been to mine." She shakes her head. "This will be complicated."

Jade sighs. "Killing each other is complicated too. Can’t be much worse than trying to kill each other, right?"

Their eyes meet in the moonlight and fear grips them both despite the surety of what they feel. They both know their own kind and the other well enough to predict what would happen. Humans could barely comprehend interracial romance, let alone an interspecies one. Human hubris was annoyingly predictable. Jade felt a gut-deep sense of dread overtake them.

"No, it won’t be worse. Not for us. The collective crumbling pride, though?" Chandra grimaced.

Jade chuckled. "Honestly, my family could probably outdo your family in that sense."

"Hm, debatable." Chandra smiled at that too. "What is there to do? I am queen and destined to mate and rule with another."

Jade took a deep breath and stared out at the night sky and the gigantic moon illuminating them both. "And that’s okay? What we just did?"

Chandra scoffed. "Yes, he and I are both in agreement that we are comfortable taking other lovers. Our arrangement is more partnership than the marriage of your kind. We’ll likely form a brood to raise alongside the other fledglings. He is no brute, but he is protective and wisely suspicious of humans. He dislikes your clan, but appreciates you, as my adversary."

"He - what? He knows I exist?" Jade blinks as their brain reboots. "So this… you want… this?" Jade waved hand up and down themselves.

Chandra looked at Jade as if they were completely batshit. "Of course I do, more than anything."

"M-me too." A flood of fear overtook Jade and she realized her family would never understand. Even the humanoid creatures were considered subhuman. Shit, their family was really messed up, huh?

Star-crossed, indeed.

Then the beginnings of an idea took form. "Take me."

"Again? Well, I just got dressed, but —," Chandra started pulling at her top.

"No!" Jade squealed and then paused to admire Chandra’s fine form. "I mean, not that I’m not interested in that, like a lot more, but I meant in another way." Jade finally tore their eyes away from the slope of Chandra’s thighs to her waist and eventually met her eyes.

Chandra watched her closely and then her eyes widened as if coming to an understanding. "You want me to kidnap you?"

"If there’s any consolation, this is completely consensual and voluntary. I don’t care what we call it, just take me away from them."

Chandra hesitated for only a moment before she caught the way their chin trembled. No one should ever have such a need to escape their family. Family was supposed to be the one place that was safe, the one refuge from a cruel world. Her little human didn’t even have that. A irate heat went down her spine and it was so hot she could likely forge a sword from it. Her next words were bit out through her rage, "You needn’t say more but if you ever need to —, if you ever want to talk about what they’ve done to you, I will listen." She cleared her throat and tried to calm the swelling storm in her chest. "Until then…" she laid out her hand for the human to take, "I will not take you or kidnap you, but I will protect you from them."

Jade swallowed down the knives in their throat. The edges were all the broken attempts they ever made to be understood by the people who claimed to be family, the ones who claimed their blood. But to their family, Jade was a joke and a scapegoat for all the worst days. Jade was tired of the old ways, exhausted by the trickle down trauma of their jaded cell. They were done being the generational punching bag. Jade was ready for more. They wanted to know about the gargoyles, they wanted to know Chandra in every way they could, they wanted to do something for their own damn self!

They took her outstretched hand in a blink. The Gargoyle Queen yanked Jade to her side and then swooped them up into her arms with a wide smile. "Come little human, let’s show the world something entirely new."
