Stuffed Shorts
Hold Your Pillow Tight.The final entry in the Stuffed series is here.
Stuffed Shorts features three novellas, each from a different feathery friend. The blanket, the phoenix, and the pillow come together to tell stories of life, death, and all the love in between in this sentient send-off. The novellas included
Marlon
Whereas Ori was raised on sexy anime and video games, Marlon was raised on cartoons meant for preschoolers. They don’t have a lot in common—except the whole “killing bad guys for their loved ones” thing.
The Phoenix and the Goose
Ori and Marlon’s origin story features a phoenix shifter and his human fated mate. Be warned, this does NOT have a happily ever after. Seriously.
Stuffed Up
Ori’s obsession with defending Anne’s life finally goes one step too far. The crew must go on a road trip to find a mysterious cure to fix him. Along the way, they’ll learn a lot about themselves, the world, and what it means to be alive.

The second story deserves a book of its own!! I'd totally read that, or something similar, in the future. The first one was really sweet, I loved getting to know Marlon and his family. The third one was my least fav, but I enjoyed seeing the main trio again.
I like how everything was tied together, even though the story went in a completely different direction than I was expecting. Who knew reading a book about a sentient pillow would eventually lead to all of this? Not me. But yeah I had fun.

I had hopes. Especially because I did enjoy Stuffed and Double Stuffed
But frankly, I just didn't care for it. The first story about Marlon was great and I wish the rest of the short stories here had that tone and feel. The second one - dark and the third I just could not get past all the angsty obsessiveness. I could only suspend my reality so much.
Glad I got through Kindle Unlimited and did not waste my credits on it to own outright.

What the fuckety fuck was this series 😳

2.5✨
I don't know guys we didn't really need more from this series. A lot of very questionable content and opinions, even without taking into account it's a sentient object romance.
It gets the highest rating of the three simply for having some emotional beats and parts that were a little profound. But, for the love of God put this to rest

STUFFED SHORT STORIES
MARLON #1
HERO /HEROINE:
Charlie is a teacher at an orphanage. He's from Senegal.
Marlon is another product of the Phoenix and the Goose story. He is one of two feathers that fell from the Phoenix before it's death. He was filler in a duvet that a little girl, Imani, would cuddle and hold on to.
OVERALL THOUGHTS:
Thank you to the author for providing a content warning page, this reader appreciates the warning. 💜
In Double Stuffed Ori discovers he has a brother. Another Phoenix feather that was made into a duvet, Marlon. This is Marlon’s story.
I loved this so much. This was easy going and sweet as sugar. A bad man snuck into Imani’s room at the orphanage and was intending on hurting her. Lucky for her she had two pure souls watching out for her, Charlie who by chance saw the man sneaking in and Marlon, her magic blanket. Charlie fought the man and stabbed him in the shoulder, while Marlon was able to suck the life out of him with his powers. Charlie whisked Imani away and she made sure to take her blanket with her.
That night, Charlie was shocked to find out Marlon was magical, and now has a body.
Imani was seriously blessed, she has two perfect Dad's who love so much and are protective. This was a short story so we couldn't see a lot of details about their growing love, but eventually Charlie and Marlon get together and it's so smooth and sweet.

THIS IS NOT A ROMANCE. THERE IS NO HAPPILY EVER AFTER. I need to make it clear that this story is a TRAGEDY, not a romance. It will end with the death of both main characters. This is not a spoiler, as the basic plot has already been explained in "Stuffed." However, you must know the basic characters and summary of this story to best enjoy the final "Stuffed" story, "Stuffed Up." I will post a page that contains an entire summary of the story for those that want to know what happens in the story, but do not want to read it because of the content warnings. This way you can be caught up for the remaining stories. The story also contains parts that require major content warnings. You may not want to read this story if you only want to read uplifting stories where the main characters have happy endings, no animals are harmed, and no one is a liar or a cheat.

Ori made a lot of trouble for them and he didn't seem sad about it at all when he overheard his family talking about how upset they were that Ori often treats their relationship like a dictatorship. They kind of just moved on from it.

The adventures of Anne, Ori and Carl come to an end in Stuffed Shorts, a book made up of three novellas in which we discover Ori’s brother Marlon, as well as the origins of Ori and Marlon, and the conclusion of the A Living Pillow series.
MARLON
After discovering Marlon in Double Stuffed, I have to admit that I started this novella full of curiosity. I can’t find out that Ori has a brother and not want to know more about him!
The story begins in circumstances that will make most readers’ blood boil with anger. I’m really glad that Charlie was in the right place at the right time and that Marlon was able to do what he had to do to defend Imani.
I loved seeing the three of them building a family life together. Charlie and Marlon really care about the little girl’s welfare, and you can feel that they love her the way two parents should love their child.
Although the story begins with a terribly upsetting event, it ends up producing something positive, sweet and ideal for this newfound family.
THE PHOENIX AND THE GOOSE
Warning: as Sylvia Morrow says in the book, this novella is not a romance, but a TRAGEDY. Thankfully, the author has made sure to list the most disturbing elements and provide a summary of the novella for those who may not be able to read it because of the TWs. Your mental health is more important than any story in the world.
When I read this short story, I knew it wouldn’t end with a HEA. I also kind of guessed how things would end for Lara and Luke after reading the list of TWs. However, I decided to read this story without giving myself any spoilers, so I chose not to read the author’s summary—the one for those who might not want to read this novella.
Let me start by saying that I don’t love the cheating trope, but I don’t hate it either. I can read fiction that contains it without it bothering me. I can even understand why characters cheat in some cases—I don’t have the same reasoning in real life, of course.
In that context, I could have understood Luke’s reasons for getting close to Lara-despite his commitment to someone else-if only he had been honest with her and Lara had been able to make a decision with all the facts to consider. Still, I couldn’t help but find the two of them adorable together. Even so, I tried not to get attached to them-knowing that the story didn’t end with an HEA-I failed on that point.
Mrs Sylvia Morrow managed to make me cry with her very first tragedy. She wrote the feelings of the main characters in such a way that we can feel them ourselves. Even though this novella is bittersweet, I still liked it. It may not suit everyone, but it did suit me.
P.S.: Screw you, Iris!
STUFFED UP
Ori… Ori… Ori… *sighs*
What are we going to do with you, Ori? 😅
Joking aside, I really enjoyed this novella.
After reading Marlon, I couldn’t wait to see what would happen at the dinner with the two brothers and their respective families. To be honest, I think I was expecting pretty much anything but what happened 😂
One thing for sure, though, Carl is—as always—a real sweetheart. I thought he handled the post-dinner situation like a champ. You really get the feeling that, despite his own fears, he really is a shoulder for Anne to lean on.
I’m trying not to give too much away, as I think the events in this novella are worth discovering without having much of an idea of what to expect. I’ll just say that I enjoyed the redemption arc that takes place in it and also the growth of one of the characters.
Even though I’m going to miss the characters, this novella ends the series in a beautiful way.
As Stuffed was the book that first introduced me to Sylvia Morrow, the whole series will always have a special place in my heart. It was through this series that I discovered the SOR universe and a whole host of wonderful stories and talented authors like Sylvia Morrow who is someone I've always enjoyed the few interactions I've had with.
Many thanks to Sylvia Morrow for giving me the opportunity to read an ARC of Stuffed Shorts. This review is my own. All opinions expressed are mine.

Stuffed Shorts really said, “Let me ruin your emotions in three very different but equally unhinged ways,” and honestly? I loved every second of it.
The first story had me all soft and cozy. Marlon? Protect him at all costs. The man just wants to live his life and take care of a sweet little girl with Charlie, and I was eating it up like comfort food. 10/10 would join their family BBQ.
Then the second novella rolled in like, “Haha, feelings? Let me crush those real quick.” That one was a full on emotional ambush. I knew it wouldn’t have a happy ending, but wow, I still wasn’t ready. Sylvia really looked me in the eye and said, “Pain builds character.” And I let her. I cried and said thank you.
Then the third story came in to clean up the mess. Back with Ori, Anne, and my emotional support himbo, Carl. He’s chaotic but also somehow the most grounded one?? I don’t know how she does it, but Sylvia made me laugh, swoon, and tear up all over again. The dinner scene alone deserves an award.

Marlon
I loved meeting Charlie, Imani, and Marlon in this story! The beginning starts off with action and just develops into such a wholesome M/M short story.
The Phoenix and the Goose
SYLVIA!!! You weren't lying when you said this story was tragic. I really did enjoy learning about Ori and Marlon's origin story, but just know this is one of the darkest things I have read by this author! Check your trigger warnings!
Stuffed Up
When Ori becomes obsessed with finding a way to give Anne and Carl everlasting life, he transforms back into a pillow. The whole crew goes on a journey to turn him back...but they meet some interesting characters along the way and there is a little plot twist!
All three stories were just the right amount of fun that I needed! I love Sylvia's writing and can't wait to read more by her :)

Review
Very quirky book to read. Reading about inanimate objects or animals to human to fall in love with a human was very odd to read. I spent most of my time reading this book, pondering where the author got these ideas from. Definitely, a book that will take you into a different reality. A fairly quick read with light-hearted moments throughout the book. It was an ok book to pass the time with.

Strangely, I enjoyed the original story of the phoenix the most. It had that taste of a Grimm's Fairytale that really made it stick.
All in all, not as "out there" as everyone was saying online. Felt really like a fantasy manga or something. And all the trigger warning worthy scenes are not as intense as the numerous trigger warnings might insinuate.

📱3.5 rounding down because Ori.
I really liked the second short : The Phoenix and the Goose. I was so invested and want more of Luke’s story. I cried for Luke 🥺 I also wouldn’t mind learning more of Marlon’s family’s backstory and future life.
Ori still pisses me off but i like that Carl is coming into his own. I like to imagine that Carl finally bitch slaps the annoyingness out of him.

What a perfect book to finish up the series !
I was dying to have the back story of some characters and this gave it to me and more.
The spice was spicing ! I loved a certain role reversal that happened ! I also giggled at the feathers again 🤣
This is such a fun series I can get lost in and get me back into my reading ways.

Sylvia has done it again. What can I say, i'm obessed!
July 31, 2025
From the moment Stuffed Shorts landed in my inbox, I was buzzing with anticipation, and it absolutely lived up to every expectation. This book is a delicious triple helping of story, each part offering something unique yet seamlessly tied together.
The first story introduces us to Ori’s brother, Marlon, and offers a tender, heartfelt glimpse into his life and family. It’s warm, sweet, and deeply endearing.
The second dives into the origin of the phoenix feathers that brought Ori and Marlon to life. It’s a powerful, emotional piece that left me genuinely moved. Learning the “how” behind the magic added so much depth to the world Sylvia has created.
And the third? Pure joy. We’re reunited with Anne, Ori, and Carl, and I couldn’t get enough. I already loved Carl, but this book… let’s just say I was not prepared. There’s one moment in particular, a single word, actually, that completely melted me.
Each of the stories in this collection is a gem. The writing is playful, romantic, and gloriously spicy, and the final pages left me feeling full in the best way. A beautiful, satisfying conclusion that made me smile long after I finished reading. I’m endlessly grateful to have read this early, and as always, completely in love with Sylvia Morrow’s work.

The second dives into the origin of the phoenix feathers that brought Ori and Marlon to life. It’s a powerful, emotional piece that left me genuinely moved. Learning the “how” behind the magic added so much depth to the world Sylvia has created.
And the third? Pure joy. We’re reunited with Anne, Ori, and Carl, and I couldn’t get enough. I already loved Carl, but this book… let’s just say I was not prepared. There’s one moment in particular, a single word, actually, that completely melted me.
Each of the stories in this collection is a gem. The writing is playful, romantic, and gloriously spicy, and the final pages left me feeling full in the best way. A beautiful, satisfying conclusion that made me smile long after I finished reading. I’m endlessly grateful to have read this early, and as always, completely in love with Sylvia Morrow’s work.
