In late 2025, we began to brainstorm a race of parasites, combining a number of concepts that interested us — vampirism, hiveminds, and above all a sensibility for weird and detailed biology.
These thoughts remained on our mind for months, and we gave a few attempts at outlining stories that would make use of these monsters, but we achieved little writing in those anguished final months of that year.
For the first month of 2026, we tasked ourselves with writing about them every day, and this effort produced a slew of write-ups and a teasers worth presenting to the world.
For want of a cleaner introduction, we recommend starting with these three posts: “Consort In Recapitulation.”, “The Larval Entiote”, and “A Living Transmutation”. This should suffice to pique interest and elucidate some core concepts.
However, the piece we’re proudest of so far is: “One to the Light, Swarm to the Shadows”.
Beyond that, open the index and proceed to whichever catches your eye.
As a final note, our writing style relies heavily on reader inference — however, there exists a glossary, which endeavors to define the many terms coined for this rich world.
Thank you for your time. I would love to hear your thoughts on any of these writings. Please contact us!
