V.K. Alenko - Paranormal & MM Romance
Hi, I’m V. K. Alenko. By day, I work for a bank; it’s steady, practical work that keeps me grounded. By night, I turn back to the stories that I love — quiet, sometimes haunted tales about love, loss, and the strange ways people find each other.
I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember, though most of it lived on AO3 for years before I finally got brave enough to share something publicly. Le Chat Gris is the first story I’ve let out into the world, and it still feels a little like handing someone my heartbeat.
When I’m not writing, I’m usually reading, playing video games or otherwise keeping my mind busy. I write because stories make the world feel a little bigger — and because sometimes, the only way to understand a feeling is to put it on a page and see who else recognizes it.
