Of Serpents and Constricting Compositions
A serpent rises, whiter than the root
Of some venefic bloom in darkness grown,
And gazes up with green-lit eyes that seem
Like drops of cold, congealing poison.— Clark Ashton Smith, “The Hashish-Eater, or the Apocalypse of Evil”
A den for compositions of words, sound and pixels. We’ve written stories and essays, drawn artwork, composed several albums, and even started work on some game demos. This site hosts them all.
Notable among them:
- Black Nerve, a dark fantasy world of giant insects, blood and fungus, with unique, richly developed magic system and society. Years in the making, this stands among our proudest creations.
- Hostile Takeover, a murder drones fanfic, one of our longest and most successful works, about a sapphic robot torn between her directives and her own needs.
- Even in Debt — Dreams, a murder drones fanfic, novella-length and the first story we’ve completed, about a murderous robot at the mercy of one she failed to kill.
- Murder Drones Fanfic Reviews, a curated list of recommended works in the fandom.
- Pushro, a puzzle roguelike where you push blocks and collect items in randomly generated levels.
- _prefigurations, our newest album, with several tracks we’re quite proud of.
- Collected Poems because there’s no where else to link it.
- Assorted Links for sites and creations by friends and adjacents.
This site is built using a hand-crafted static site generator, with markdown source files compiled to HTML using many custom scripts.

Singing songs of serpent silence
While snakes devour time and tail
As act of great defiance— Schammasch, “Serpent Silence”
