A HAUNTED LITTLE CORNER OF THE INTERNET
Velvet
Afterlife
Beautiful monsters, candlelit confessions, and love stories that refuse to stay buried.
Stories for creatures
who linger after midnight.
✦Ⅰabout the creator+
I'm Mo, the creator behind @grotesque. I write morally grey characters, complicated relationships, hidden histories, and fictional people who make excellent choices for absolutely no one.
Expect monsters dressed like gentlemen, terrible decisions made beautifully, and stories that linger after the tab closes.
Ⅱcontent warning+
This is a space for adult fiction and adult readers. Individual characters may explore dark themes, unhealthy relationships, or Dead Dove material. Please read every character's tags and content notes before entering their story.
Fiction does not equal endorsement. Protect your peace and choose the stories that suit you.
