Fangs and Fireworks
Dragon’s Midsummer Mischief
By Adeline Alchemy
Careful what you wish for. It might just come true…
Jay used to love July 4th: food, freedom, and fireworks. But coming out as bisexual showed her who actually believed in that freedom—and it wasn’t Jay’s parents.
Ten years later, Jay’s alone in her childhood home. A firework of mysterious origin gives her a chance to rekindle her lost whimsy—but the corrupt wish dragon it summons has different, darker plans…
Sparks ignite in this deviant tale of delicious midsummer mischief.
FANGS AND FIREWORKS: DRAGON’S MIDSUMMER MISCHIEF is a spicy horror novelette (15k words, 69 pages) for those whose first instinct is to run towards the terrifying monster. Let this weird, whimsical tale quench your summer thirst, and you’ll never see InDPendence Day the same again.

Content Notes
Where this story lands on the unsettling-to-sexy spectrum will depend on your particular predilections.
Vibes are spooky, suspenseful, and fairly cozy, especially for those whose first instinct is to run towards the terrifying monster.

Brief mention of an adult woman barely fitting into clothes from High School (no weights are mentioned, no body shame is depicted)

Dogs are frightened but never directly in danger and remain unharmed, guaranteed!
