About Berries and Greed

Greid I may hate everyone, but you can only take being alone for so long. Sooner or later, you get desperate enough to visit a human cult that worships your species as greater beings in the hopes of finding a new roommate to fill the lonely void. We've all been there… right? I swear I was only looking for a roommate. Just someone to watch TV and eat dinner with. Nothing… romantic. No way. But when I see all these humans gazing at me with open adoration and blatant lust and other things that make me wildly uncomfortable, I realize what a terrible mistake this is. Until I spot the one human woman in the group who is definitely not pleased to see me. In fact, she's scowling at me. She looks really, really annoyed. I'm kind of into it. Beryl I'm not a true follower of The Order of the Greater Beings. I don't worship the demiurgus—the monstrous species that live alongside humans. I definitely do not want to become a demiurgus mate. So when one shows up at the cult's compound—the first in the entire twenty-five years I've been flying under the radar here—I want to make sure he knows that I think he's a total creep for taking advantage of worryingly adoring humans this way. Until I realize… I don't think that's why he's here. He's kind of awkward. And anxious. And wildly out of his depth. When he offers me the chance to finally escape the cult—to go out into the real world for the first time, to create a life for myself—all for the low, low cost of an easy, platonic friendship… I take it. Now, I'm navigating the outside world, and I'm roommates with a big, awkward demiurgus called Greid who lives in his pajamas, watches a ridiculous amount of TV, and is high most of the time. He's also the sweetest guy I've ever met, and he's funny, and generous, and easy to talk to. But I've spent my entire life making sure I didn't get sucked into the cult's fervent worship of the demiurgus—there's no way I'm going to fall in love with him... Right? Berries and Greed is an MF monster/human romcom and the first in the Deep Earth Dating series, which features a range of diverse pairings. Intended for mature listeners.
