I would've appreciated more build up, but I liked the one-shot and universe.
So uh, about that part where you said this was only going to be a one-shot . . .
While I wouldn't quite call this a 'slow burn,' it still ticks quite a few boxes off my list of things I like to read. The main characters were great, especially Falia. The way you took the 'being mated' from stories like mine and MGE stories and cranked it to eleven were great!
The actual juicy bits were a little on the short side, but it seemed like those parts weren't the main focus of the story anyway.
The only thing that kind of irked me was the accepted use of the word 'monster.' Given the actual definition, I'd imagine non-humans to prefer something else, or even better, to not be lumped together at all and prefer the name of their own individual species.
Still that was a minor nit-pick, and this self-proclaimed non-human aficionado is gonna give the story five stars!
This is the third story in your The Merging Universe that I've read and I think you have the makings of a spectacular, long-running series. I can't wait to read future tales of monsters and humans bonding, not to mention the action and drama as we learn more about the anti-monster terrorist group from your other stories. 5/5*
