About BICP

Ordinary broke millennials Bianca and Sparrow adopt a puppy…which turns out to be an immortal shapeshifting battle monster. (They call him Patrick.)

Now Bianca’s in a soul-binding ownership contract, rich and powerful people are tracking them down to pick magical fights, and they still can’t find any companies that are hiring.

Also: politics, comedy, found families, power dynamics, Jewish mysticism, and gay stuff.

BICP combines the struggle of modern-day underemployed geeky twentysomethings with the interspecies ethical dilemmas that you normally try not to think about while playing Pokémon. Updating online since February 2011.
