The Witch's Familiar (Patreon)

Thank you so much for your patience! Sometimes it feels like there aren't enough hours in a day, but there are hopefully going to be a great deal more soon.

Laurence the mage is a talented student at the Drossler Academy for Aspiring Magicians, and it's in no small part to his mother's magical talent! She was a powerful feline sorceress. So powerful, in fact, that Laurence inherited more from her than normal. He's gifted with a talent for spellcraft nearly unheard of in boys...along with some more catlike features. True, it's just ears, a tail, and some...subtle quirks, but that's enough to attract a fair bit of attention from his peers. When his younger (and less talented) classmate Elodie begins to imply that he'd be better off as her familiar instead of a magician, his little idiosyncrasies threaten to undo the reputation he's earned as a scholar!

This story is a bit of a change of pace! As you might notice, the focus here isn't on monster girls this time: it's on monster boys. I've toyed with the idea of this in the past, and this is the first iteration of a monster boy in my fiction, as far as I can recall. I like the idea of a monster girl's special characteristics being used to control boys...whereas a monster boy's special characteristics are used to control him. I feel like there's a lot of potential for that sort of play, so you can probably expect to see more of this sort of format in the future!

As for the story itself, I like the idea of really mundane things being enough to absolutely paralyze someone if they happen to have a weakness for them. The two things that eventually snare Laurence are so commonplace, but when you give him more feline preferences, I'd like to think they'd be overwhelming.

I'm going to be making a few more posts tomorrow going over some changes and announcements, as well as a sort of "retrospective" on the game I made! I have a lot of thoughts on a lot of things, so expect to see some of those thoughts soon.

As always, thank you so much for your support! Now more than ever it means the world to me, and hopefully my gratitude will become more apparent tomorrow. For now, enjoy!
