Girls Who Bite

is my main OC story, which i've been developing since November 2022: very old art can be found under the scans link below. It was originally called 'Face Down in the Center of the Earth.' The story follows Finch Elkyam upon her return from another realm, saddled with baggage and bound to the demon Maggot. The story follows themes of girlhood, friendship, religon, and violence. What is the main storyline was once a one-off AU, but had quickly overtaken the main plot. I am, currently, attempting to write it, with minimal progress thus far. It is entirely self-indulgent.

The story:
GWB is set at a Catholic boarding school in North Carolina, and follows 14 year-old Finch after she makes a deal with a demon to bring herself back from Hell after a failed suicide attempt. The demon Maggot is strangely understanding, but keeps a lot from Finch, and has an even stranger younger sister named Ellie. Ellie is prone to anger and violence, which doesn't clash well with Finch's past, and the two end up at each others throats a lot of the time. Finch's best friend and schoolmate Willhelmenia has been strangely cagey ever since Finch's return. And the last monster to kill Finch in the Underbelly, an demon-born named Joan, has been lurking around- at least, according to Finch.
