Violet the fledgling vampire is resigned to her fate, but the resident moonchild witch isn't having it.
Call for Complete Surrender — 2026-08-25
This litany mixes The Lord's Prayer with Psalm 23 and Psalm 121. We are called to surrender ourselves to the quiet, still voice within us. It's encouraged that you sit in momentary, meditative silence following the conclusion of prayer.
Wonderful Rosary — 2026-08-16
A shorter, contemplative alternative to the traditional rosary. Instead of reciting and memorizing several passages of scripture, you contemplate the five "Wonders of our Lord", and wrap all the way around the rosary (including back to the cross) by concluding with the Divine Shepherd (Psalm 23). There are other timesavers included which reduce friction of spending quality time with Mother Mary.

Sir Gawain and the...loathsome lady? — 2025-06-02
This short story retells "The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnelle" by Marie de France, albeit with a supernatural, slice-of-life approach. It's my first published work of long-form fiction, originally posted to AO3 in 2025. I've written plenty of ongoing stories before and since, but this is the first time I summoned the courage to post my original writing for the world to see.
Empty & Afraid — 2023-04-27
Empty & Afraid is a turn-based, 2D JRPG whose story elements are inspired by over-the-top franchises like Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy. You collect a party of 6 unique characters (who more-or-less represent some of Aaron's IRL friends, albeit in overpowered anime form) on a quest to close The Rift and save the world from The Empty. In combat, overkill attacks reward you with even more attacks, buffs, loot, and sparkly particle effects. This is a game where the good guys win and the bad guys can go fuck themselves.
Matheny — 2019-11-18
On May 1, 2016, my favorite person in the world passed away. Her name is Denise Matheny. She was my everything, my entire world, my beloved Aunt Denise.
