Just a quick reminder for anyone using an iPhone or iPad etc, that subscribing or purchasing anything from the Patreon iOS App automatically tacks on an extra 30% fee on top of the regular price (and also takes up to 75 days before I receive the payment).
Accessing Patreon content through the iOS app is fine, but you generally want to avoid making any payments or in-app purchases through it. ...

The final preview before this section of the game goes live in the Alpha Build. Since this particular variation guest-stars Cassandra, it won't be available for... awhile. But there are plenty of other Harbingers you can serenade instead.

And the third place finisher for February's drabble is "MC gets their harem dream momentarily as the rest of the Harbingers all get hit with Cupid's Arrow shenanigans" with 21 votes, coming in at 1592 words.
Another AU take where the Harbingers have gathered already in time for Valentine's Day... and certain people (and entities) are certainly getting into the spirit here.
And the winner & second place finisher for February's drabble is "Due to hijinks, Adrian and MC get caught in a compromising position and everyone happens to catch them and assumes they finally did it" with 28 votes and "The universe hates Adrian and keeps pushing him and (if it sounds fun to you, maybe denial!)MC into Valentine's day events shenanigans" with 27 votes. 2025-02-24 16:00:12 +0000 UTC View Post

Just wrote (and bugtested) this bit of coding craziness today. Watch as no one actually ends up triggering the pun for this. Quick someone name their MC some variation of 'Casey' (and then have claustrophobia).

...I imagine that some MCs might still be interested in this scenario even though it does nothing to help deal with their phobia.

So yeah... awhile.

And the runner-up for January's drabble with 23 votes is "Changeling MC tries various ways to awaken their fae side/powers (With Percy's help)" at 2144 words.
Since all the non-Merlin females haven't had much luck winning any of the drabble votes, this is the first multi-POV drabble including Lorelei, Gwen, and Cassandra.
