The Shapeshifter's Wife

Something Else Woke Up

Free

Unlike Djali, Gill seems to have walked away from human magic without turning into a wall of spooky eyeballs. Why? He doesn't want to talk about it. But, it IS time to finally talk about some lore. And those things will have to wait until September, which I do feel bad about, blame my long covid for that timing. But we will meet again in Fall and unpack some Chiaroscuro secrets! Also I think my huion tablet died 2 days ago but I'm too afraid to plug it back in. Send thoughts and prayers to my huion tablet.

The Shapeshifter's Wife

The call of the void

Free

Gillian remembers something his family once told him about how magic works, Meredith attempts to use magic, and Djali finally got off the bus on the way back to Museum road.

The Shapeshifter's Wife

Light at the End

Free

Things have been dark, but Meredith sees a light at the end of the tunnel, and a chance to do something that hopefully (crossing fingers) won't blow everything up. PS I'm taking the month of June off for a soft hiatus. I'd like one of those updates to be a Q+A, so if you have any questions leave em below marked as Q+A and one of my characters will answer em if they aren't spoiler heavy :)

The Shapeshifter's Wife

2 Types

Free

Meredith finally has a heart to heart about the nature of the magic she wields but cannot control, which is something that she needs to control, or she may find herself consumed by the same magic that empowered her. Also, life got kinda crazy on my end, hopefully things even out and I won't have to go on another soft hiatus, but fair warning, that might happen. (fingers crossed)

The Shapeshifter's Wife

The Other Side of the Glass

Free

Last minute I added like a lot of Djali to this episode. Figured maybe someone would want to know what he's up to and he's currently pacing around a tiny bathroom. A little bit safer than what Meredith's been doing.

The Shapeshifter's Wife

The Memory on Museum Road

Free

Ghosts that never could have existed are manifesting, holes in space and time are forming, and Meredith's starting to understand why this wouldn't have been the best location for a bakery.

The Shapeshifter's Wife

Something Different

Free

Meredith is determined to find answers, even if it means stopping by the neighbor's place. That ghost neighbor who shouldn't actually exist. Gill is tagging along too, despite his best interests, and Djali--we'll get to Djali, don't worry, we'll just say he's busy stress eating all the snacks he can find.

The Shapeshifter's Wife

The Curse of the Royal Blood

Free

We flashback back to Meredith, who is learning that it isn't quite as easy to hide if you're royal blood as Djali made it out to be.

The Shapeshifter's Wife

Trust

Free

Alixander's Mother has an opportunity to scold her son about his trust issues and she is not going to hold back. However, maybe Djali's next words will sway even her?

The Shapeshifter's Wife

The First Djali

Free

As it turns out there are some things from the human library that are not so great, and when taken outside of context, this 1820's mad scientist has gotten himself a little lost in the sauce. Anyway, for all of my eagle eyed readers who guessed that Djali is the result of a genetic experiment, congratulations! You get a cookie and award, here you go! 🎊🍪🏆🎊

The Shapeshifter's Wife

I Will Not Be Their Dog

Free

Lets dive further into Prince Alixander's plans (that will go really well and nothing bad will happen.) Also I apologize about how freakin long this episode is. I'm sure you're all bothered by this length but I need to get out of this talking heads segment where everyone has antlers. :D

The Shapeshifter's Wife

The Library's Warning

Free

Our Prince has been diving deep into the human library, leading to strides in research at the University, but his parents are worried about a consequence that could happen, a warning that the Prince has decided to ignore.

The Shapeshifter's Wife

Denial

Free

Everyone is a little bit in denial of who they are and it's causing some consequences. From Meredith who doesn't take any responsibility of being a witch, to Gill who doesn't take his responsibility of being a police officer by telling her what he did to Djali, to Djali himself, who put his entire identity in being a meet companion, which did not actually happen for him.

The Shapeshifter's Wife

Company of Ghosts

Free

Since Djali is breaking a bit at the seams, the Royal Ghost has decided perhaps it's time she and Meredith had a little chat about her magic problem. Meanwhile, Takoda has to go back to doing his job, AKA, cleaning up after the supernatural nonsense that's popping up all over the place now that the Royal Ghost is reaching out.

The Shapeshifter's Wife

Djali's Waking Dreams

Free

In this episode we find out that Gillian isn't the only person having some nightmarish visions in the middle of the day. Unlike Gillian, he is used to this. What does it mean? Hopefully nothing bad. :) Meanwhile, Meredith is hanging out with her favorite old gatekeeper.

The Shapeshifter's Wife

The Prince's New Clothes

Free

Back from my soft hiatus, thanks for being so chill about me taking some time for doing other things, I really do have the best readers <3 . This week Djali has to make a new identity, and we see how long it takes for Meredith to run into her husband using the power of dog.

Gillian's Files Part 2 (recap episode)

Free

Gill is trying to sort through his thoughts, trying to see what he may have missed. As it turns out, he has been investigating Meredith this entire time, and yet it took all the way until now before he could finally admit that she is a human who is very much alive. Next time we'll have some new content! Thanks so much for being so chill during my hiatus. It was much needed :D

The Shapeshifter's Wife

Gillian's Files Part 1 (recap episode)

Free

Lets see what's happened from Gillian's perspective throughout this story. While I said there would be no new content there are a couple new tidbits here and there that Gill has been brewing over. Also, welcome to the concept of a magic seal, which wasn't going to come up for a while actually, but, unlike humans, Monsters can keep things out of the library with a little encryption.

The Shapeshifter's Wife

Walking Time Bomb

Free

Gillian makes the grave mistake of telling a woman to calm down, and he finds out quickly what happens when you do such a stupid thing. But she shouldn't be able to do magic if he's dead right? ...Unless... PS next Month I'm taking my hiatus because I fell WAY behind! :D You'll have 2 scheduled recap episodes during that time. I'll see y'all again in October!

The Shapeshifter's Wife

She Has Always Been Real

Free

We're on like Episode 100 now but Gill has finally recognized that Meredith is in fact real, and has, in fact, been real this entire time. She's not a ghost that will vanish eventually, she's here to stay. So...now that she's real...do we tell her what actually happened or... PS I am taking a hiatus during September. We will have 2 updates during that time, they'll be recap updates for you

The Shapeshifter's Wife

Time to Tell Meredith

Free

Hey all I caught the big sick (again) so eventually this post will have like a title card and some summary at the top once my brain is no longer full of beans but until then, this is basically straight from my buffer. Anyway, Meredith is not one to fool, but can she convince Gill and Cooper Djali is in fact, not dead?

The Shapeshifter's Wife

From Another Life

Free

There are certain moments of the story where when I was writing the script I thought "Oh I'll never get to this part of the comic, it's like thousands of panels from now" and it seems so far away. And then I'm posting that episode and it's like. Damn. We actually made it. And I'm just...stunned at how tiny little steps ended up to so much completed work. So thank you everyone who's read this far, I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.

The Shapeshifter's Wife

The Choice

Free

Gill makes one last attempt to snap Djali out of his destructive state. When Djali lunges for Gill, Cooper intervenes, and Djali changes his target to Coop. As Djali's fangs descend, Coop assumes he is done for, until he realizes that the fangs, the claws, the whole Djali is gone! Replaced by a kill switch and a pile of smoke. Djali is dead?
