NIGHTSHADE LOUNGE

MUTT · BARTENDER & PROPRIETOR

Where fiction is poured neat, romance comes on the rocks,
and trouble is always in season.

A Note From Behind the Bar Nightshade Lounge Mutt · Bartender & Proprietor

Welcome to Nightshade Lounge, darling.

Name's Malachi Poros.

Most people call me Mutt. You can too, once we've established whether you're here for one drink or planning to make a habit of me.

Come in. Pick a seat.

The candles are low, the rain's minding its manners against the windows, and I've already opened the good bottles. No need to rush. The night's still young, and I've got plenty to pour.

✦ What Are You Thirsty For? ✦

A Little Comfort

Something Romantic

Beautiful Trouble

Something comforting? A little romance? Something bittersweet, perhaps? Or are you after the sort of trouble that smiles sweetly before sinking its teeth in?

“I don't judge. I pour.”

Every story behind this bar has its own flavor. Some are sweet enough to make you forget the hour. Others are bitter, complicated, or dangerously smooth.

A few arrive dressed in velvet, looking positively innocent, with poison tucked neatly beneath the garnish.

Those are usually the popular ones.

Stay for one story or lose yourself in a dozen. Your evening, your appetite, your choice.

Just remember, darling, even the prettiest drink comes with ingredients worth knowing.

So before you take that first sip...

ONCE MORE, WITH INK

November · Public Event

Something new is brewing at Nightshade.

A November Classic Literature Bot Event

Hosted by Nightshade Lounge

HOUSE EVENT: Once More, With Ink

SERVICE: November 1st — November 30th, 2026

EVENT TAG: #OnceMoreWithInk2026

ADMISSION: Open to all bot creators

HOUSE POLICY: Canon is negotiable.

“Old stories. New hands. Questionable intentions.”

Event details

Come closer, darling.

For November, Nightshade Lounge is pulling a few older bottles from the shelf.

Classics.

Love stories. Tragedies. Monsters. Murder. Terrible marriages. People making spectacularly poor decisions and calling it destiny.

Naturally, I thought we should interfere.

Once More, With Ink is a collaborative bot-making event centered around classic literature and all the lovely things we can do to it.

Take an old story and tell it again.

Keep the original plot. Rewrite the ending. Put your OC in the protagonist’s place. Drop a fandom character into a Victorian tragedy. Follow the villain. Give the forgotten side character a story. Cross two works that have absolutely no business sharing a universe.

Give the monster someone to love.

Give the hero something to regret.

Or take the bones of the original and make something entirely your own.

Faithfulness is optional. Having fun is not.

If you’ve ever finished a classic and thought, I could have made that considerably worse...

I saved you a seat.

      ✦ WHAT COUNTS? ✦

Your bot just needs a recognizable connection to classic literature.

That can include:

◆ Direct adaptations

◆ Retellings

◆ Alternate universes

◆ OC insertions

◆ Fandom characters replacing canon roles

◆ Crossovers

◆ Sequels or prequels

◆ Alternate endings

◆ Missing scenes

◆ Perspective shifts

◆ Stories inspired by a classic’s themes, setting, characters, or premise

◆ Genre reinterpretations of any kind

Romance it. Horrify it. Modernize it. Make it supernatural. Make it filthy. Make it devastating.

You don’t have to recreate the source word for word.

Frankly, if everyone behaves themselves, this becomes a book report.

And I did not open a bar to assign homework.

THE SPAN

Coming Soon

The world ended once. They buried it behind walls and called it order.

In Lumen, the Church tracks every life through a chip in the wrist. Beneath the city, a nameless resistance steals supplies meant for the elite—and shelters people the system left to rot.

Now the instincts buried under generations of chemical control are waking up.

In Lumen, nothing is broken. Everything is working exactly as intended. Except the part that's fighting back.

Explore the world

They call them Tunnel Rats when they want to spit. False Liberators when they want to preach. Ferals when they want people afraid. But no one who's actually seen them uses a name at all.

Everything that remains lives inside Cities carved into a single continent, ruled by the Church. The chip in your wrist tracks your money, your movement, your health—your obedience. Above, the rich live in sunlight. Below, the Sardines suffocate in concrete stacks, working until there's nothing left of them but routine.

At the bottom are the Sinks. The food is drugged. The water cuts out when the power flickers. People disappear so often no one bothers asking why.

They say the system works. That the chaos is gone. That the mutations—the Dead Ends—are failures best left outside the walls to rot.

They're wrong.

Beneath Lumen, in abandoned subway veins and bunkers the Church erased from history, something intentional is growing. They steal from supply trains meant for the elite—real food, real sugar, real medicine—and bring it back into a city that forgot what real means. They move through tunnels the system can't map, with names it can't track.

For generations, the government has suppressed something deeper than rebellion. Something biological. Instincts buried under chemicals. Identities delayed. Heats. Ruts. Bonds. Power.

Now those instincts are surfacing all at once. And the people the system tried to control are becoming something it was never built to survive.

HOUSE RULESSafety, respect, and the laws of Nightshade.

Not everything I serve is gentle.

Some stories contain violence, grief, obsession, manipulation, horror, blood, power imbalance, or desire with teeth. I’ll mark every bottle clearly. Please read the warnings and respect your limits.

You never owe a story your discomfort.

If a drink isn’t for you, leave it on the bar. No explanation needed, nothing to prove. Your safety matters more than finishing the story.

Take your time with the menu, darling. I’ll be here when you’re ready.

ORDER OFF-MENURequests and an invitation to the lounge.

Craving something off-menu?

Leave a bot request at the bar. Tempt me, darling.

Care to stay awhile?

Join our Discord for previews, updates, and bot talk. The bar is open, darling.

Enjoying the pour?

Tip your bartender on Buy Me a Coffee. Drink responsibly, darling.

TONIGHT'S MENUExplore the tags on offer.

These labels will take you to different worlds.

Call of User

War stories, dangerous loyalties, and the kind of devotion no one admits to until it's far too late.

Your Hero Academia

For heroes, villains, and everyone unfortunate enough to fall in love between them.

The Twilight Keepers

Immortality, devotion, hunger, and all the poor decisions made after sunset.

Criminal Userverse

For minds worth studying and people who should know better than to trust charming strangers.

User the Musical

Tragedy, longing, gods, monsters, and feelings dramatic enough to require an orchestra.

SPECIALTY DRINKSExplore my series.

Mutt's October

A collection of Kinktober and Spooktober stories where wicked desires, dark fantasies, and things that go bump in the night share the same menu.

Five Dynamics

A different kind of Omegaverse, where familiar instincts, expectations, and power dynamics conceal something far stranger beneath the surface.

Once More, With Ink

A collaborative event where classic literature gets rewritten, beloved characters find new stories, and familiar endings are no longer guaranteed.

DID Simon

Simon Riley and Ghost are two distinct, cooperative alters sharing one body and one life, each with their own identity, desires, and boundaries. One is human; the other is a skeletal, incorporeal death-head sentinel, and neither exists merely to serve the other.

ERR-404

Not a task force, but a system failure with teeth, ERR-404 operates between cyberwarfare and physical intrusion, erasing targets, evidence, and every trace of its existence.

The Fracture

A century after an invisible event awakened survival instincts in a small portion of humanity, Task Force 141's predator Echoed navigate a world where instinct is feared, identity is regulated, and choice remains everything.
