Trick, Treat, or Tether: Damn, I F**ked a Dragon Halloween Tale

🎭 Some bargains don't just bind—they rewrite reality. 🔔

Nyari survived dragonfire, the drowned god's worship, and the Hydra's venom-dark claiming. But when bells start chiming in her head and an invitation appears on her pillow, she realizes something new has been watching all along.

And it doesn't take. It offers.

The Tethered One exists in the spaces between—between choice and compulsion, between gift and curse, between freedom and binding. With a mask fused to its face and bells growing from its body, it doesn't need to force its claims. It just needs to offer exactly what you think you need, at prices you don't realize you're paying.

Three nights. Three choices. Three threads that will bind Nyari to something that collects interesting souls across dimensions.

Trick, Treat, or Tether—which will she choose?

Every time Nyari accepts a bargain, another thread wraps around her wrist. The key gives her freedom to walk between realms—but The Tethered One sees through her eyes whenever she uses it. The vision shows her how to survive what's hunting her—but the proximity pleasure lasts until dawn. And the final tether? It offers protection, power, and partnership—if she's willing to claim the creature back just as thoroughly as it claims her.

Vaerith can burn through armies and reshape stone with dragonfire, but he can't fight something that exists in impossible spaces. He can't protect her from bargains that twist consent into inevitability. And when she's pulled into the between-spaces—experiencing pleasure across multiple dimensions while The Tethered One shows her what it means to be touched in places that don't exist—his only choice is to accept that sharing her might be the only way to keep her.

But some tethers go both ways. Some claims can be rewritten. And some women are audacious enough to demand equality from creatures that have been collecting souls for millennia.

As Nyari navigates impossible choices and reality-bending pleasure, she realizes the game was rigged from the start. But that doesn't mean she can't change the rules. Because in the Bondlands, the woman who bridges worlds doesn't just accept claims—she makes them.

And The Tethered One? It's about to learn what happens when you offer a bargain to someone brave enough to rewrite it.
