Early Bird: No Hands (Patreon)

In which, in a world far removed from the Cloistered Lands in many respects, a hapless diplomat uncovers a universal truth: When a gorgeous goblin princess offers to dance for you, promising she won't lay one finger on you and thus couldn't possibly harm you, it is a very bad idea to believe her. And also a wonderful idea, and why not accept?

This story is set in the same world, loosely, as Honeymoon Manor and Prince's Bride. That's because it was created due to a prompt with the ever-wonderful Carol_J, whose work you should read and whose Patreon you should subscribe to (he actually recently switched to writing full-time, so let's show him some appreciation!).

We were doing sprints, and whoever won had to write for the other's prompt, and let's just say he won enough that there's going to be another standalone story on the way prompted by him.

Anyways, this was a lot of fun! Nice to write some good old-fashioned goblin maid seduction, and the real fun with this story was the Princess having to work under certain limitations. I might continue it someday, if there's interest, but I'm also happy with it as a standalone!

This and the other Carol-prompted story have actually been basically completed for a while now, just waiting on minor fixes, so expect the other standalone—featuring a wicked goblin maid and a sugary-sweet indulgent holstaur interrogating a knight—coming soon!
