Married Life With A Lamia Apr 2026

Normal couples fight about dishes. We fight about her leaving a “shed trail” across the clean carpet or the fact that my snoring vibrates the floor in a way that “sounds like a dying badger” (her words).

Let me start by saying: I love my wife, Seraphina. She has the torso of a goddess, the scales of a midnight river, and the patience of a saint—which is necessary, because I am a clumsy human who keeps forgetting where her tail ends and the hallway begins.

Teaching her to use a human toilet. (Spoiler: It’s not working. The bathtub is now a pond.) Would you like a part two from Seraphina’s perspective?
