Crimson and Clover

(This is a paranormal short story very loosely based on the fairy tale Rumplestiltskin. The first part of this story appeared in Stormy Glenn’s Spring ManLove Fantasies Blog Competition of 2019.)

Ishvara Vasilios is a demon who lives his life by making deals with others in return for their souls. Until one day, taking the soul of the person asking him a favor doesn’t interest him. Instead, he asks for something else, something this person doesn’t want to give up. When he comes to collect his payment, he’s met with resistance and leaves empty handed but promises to return.

Clovis Vermillion is a young but powerful warlock and video game programmer who has been receiving gifts and letters from an unknown source since the day he was born. Now, the final letter has arrived, and Clovis looks forward to meeting the person behind them. The question is, should he be excited to meet the unknown person who seems to know things about him no one else knows or should he be afraid of what’s to come?

Ishvara never expected to have a change of heart when it comes to his plans for Clovis but after years of watching, something within him has shifted. Will the shift within Ishvara turn out to be a good thing, or will his change in feelings end badly for Clovis?
