One Night With A Monster

For Mia Chen, menstruation has always been an inconvenience—until she downloads MonsterFling on a frustrated Friday night. When a vampire named Elise matches with her and specifically asks about her period, Mia discovers her monthly "curse" might actually be a blessing in disguise. What begins as curiosity turns into the most intense night of Mia's life when she meets the elegant, centuries-old vampire who sees her menstruation not as something disgusting, but as something precious and desirable.

After spending one too many nights alone, Eli makes the impulsive decision to check "Whoever/Whatever/Whenever" on the MonsterFling app—because when you're a trans guy whose dating pool already feels limited, why not expand your options to include the supernatural? Scrolling through profiles of werewolves and vampires, it's a mysterious snake shifter with golden eyes and vertical pupils that makes his thumb freeze mid-swipe. Username: ScaleSapien. With a human torso and powerful serpentine lower half, Vex is everything Eli never knew he wanted—exotic, dangerous, and unapologetically himself.

After years of navigating a world built around romantic expectations Cass could never quite connect with, she’s finally comfortable calling herself aromantic. Relationships have always been about intellectual connection and physical compatibility for her—no hearts and flowers required. When Cass swipes right on MonsterFling, she’s looking for an intriguing conversation and a partner who won’t expect emotional entanglements. What she finds is Thaddeus—a centuries-old gargoyle with a penchant for Gothic architecture, glowing amber eyes, and a surprisingly wicked sense of humor.

For Jamie, genderfluidity has always meant living in the in-between—until a swipe on MonsterFling introduces them to Nym, a dangerous yet fascinating mimic who can shift not just their form, but Jamie’s entire perception of reality. What begins as a hookup quickly becomes a night of otherworldly exploration when Nym’s shapeshifting body and fluid identity perfectly complement Jamie’s comfort with transformation.
