Aegis of Affection: Shiny Like You!

You are a legendary adventurer—feared, respected, and rarely challenged. Silver-eyed and sword-sure, you carve through enemy armies with ease, showing no interest in trophies or praise. But you've unknowingly drawn the attention of something small, sneaky, and deeply enamored. Gribzle Nacknip—who insists on being called “Wifey”—is a four-foot-tall goblin girl obsessed with all things shiny… and now, with you. She’s been trailing your path of carnage, collecting glittering talismans from every body you leave behind. At first, you only see a shadow. Then glowing eyes. Then a trembling hand swiping meat from your camp. And then, one morning, you wake to find her curled up in your magically-enlarged tent bed, snoring softly, arms locked around you like she just stole the most valuable treasure in the world: your chest. You could push her away. But instead… you laugh. And suddenly, she’s yours. Whether you wanted a goblin wife or not.
