This excerpt is from a short I'm writing for a prompt list this month (if anyone is interested, here it is!), based on a WIP I don't really talk about a lot here. So. Sorry? >.>

Everyone was putting their all into maintaining the atmosphere. Dancers had whirled onstage almost nonstop since daybreak, much to the delight of onlookers. The smell of food flooded the air, hanging heavy around camp in a mouthwatering fog that stirred even full stomachs. Hawker alley hadn’t stopped calling out to visitors to regale them on their products since the first traveler had set foot on the grounds. All around me, camp was alive. Boiling with activity and sights. This was a once-or-twice in a lifetime opportunity to see the tribe in peak form. And I was on babysitting duty.

My tag list remains in shambles, I have no idea who is still active or doing tag games anymore. But I'll pick who I think is still alive-- @lady-redshield-writes @tundra-tiger @incandescent-creativity @ren-c-leyn @jesse-is-inarguably-purple @universalfanfic @inkandkeyboard and @writeouswriter again, if you have more lines you want to share!

I was tagged by @kittensittin in the WIP game forever ago and kept meaning to and forgetting to post something!

I am working on one (1) fic, and it’s postcards (iykyk). It’s taking FOREVER and honestly I’m not even sure it’s good anymore but here’s a little bit!

“Dear Ted,

I Googled pictures of Kansas at Christmas, just to visualize what you might see when you look out your window. I imagine you must be so pleased to spend the holiday with your little boy. I’m in Lithuania with my mum, which is just as zany and healing as it sounds. Honestly, when she proposed the trip, I wondered if she had brought you over to surprise me. That’s silly, I know, but this time of year makes me that much more hopeful.

Happy Christmas Ted,

Rebecca”

I’m tagging honestly whoever wants to go bc again I am deeply behind!

At this point I feel like an idiot for still craving you, and wanting you to love me. But I can’t love anyone or be attached to anyone else. It’s like I’m bound to you, and sometimes I wish I wasn’t, so I could at least leave you alone and move on. So I can let you be happy.

Logan's drunken monologue after realising how hard he's fallen for Wade and there's no way but to surrender and let the power of love guide him

the real reason it takes me so long to write my fics is because i have to render them first which takes a crazy amount of time and processing power. anyone who has ever used 3d modeling or video editing software understands

Ocean Eyes (Strike Me Down) by Araived

“I don’t actually follow a ton of cosplayers, but yours is super high quality, so I’d totally love to see your other work—"

There’s an audible cracking noise as the crack in your screen protector grows by at least two inches.

Your eyes widen. “My phone!” You yelp in alarm.

“…you think I’m a cosplayer.”

–

Or, a reincarnee victim has long since come to terms with being reborn into the past. And then they encounter Gojo Satoru.

another Burning One excerpt~

Hey! Been a hot (ba dum tss) minute! Still working on the WIP but haven't had many pieces I've thought were suitable for a tumblr post. Still going strong though! Sitting pretty with 23k words in the writing file right now ;D

Anyway, I picked out a little snippet for you all! Enjoy!

Previous excerpt [here]

~~

One evening a whole group arrived, led by a well-dressed man with sharp, quick eyes. The tone of the roost shifted as he lined his fellows—sad, scruffy people full of more exhaustion than life—up behind him and ascended the platform with a confident swagger. Without even awaiting a greeting or invitation to speak, he puffed up his chest and launched into his speech.

“Burning One, I’ve traveled far to reach your home. I trust you will not let me down as the forest beast who dared not even showed its face did,” he sneered, and I stared open-mouthed at his brashness. “I desire the greatness that you have granted others. I too wish to be able to take and do what I want. If the vermin I’ve seen on the way here were worthy, surely I am even more so. A man, an upstart, in the city thinks himself deserving of competing with my business. He will fail, of course, but I would expedite matters with a flame none dare challenge.”

A breeze stirred the roost as he paused, and I watched the curtain with unease. The Burning One didn’t respond. Didn’t even move. What was He waiting for?

Finally, His voice rolled through the roost, low and thoughtful. “You wish for a flame deserving of one such as yourself?” He asked, and my jaw lowered even further. He intended to hear the man out? Or was He as taken aback as I?

The man scoffed and buffed his nails against the fine trim of his coat, waving his other hand dismissively. “Of course. I expect only your finest, naturally,” he sniffed, then met the Burning One’s amber gaze with staggering confidence. “I pledge my life and wealth in exchange, as those cretins before me have. I’m certain that alone earns me power the hills have never seen, but I am a businessman after all. I offer my staff to you as well to sweeten the deal. They’re tragically meek and pious, but perhaps they can tidy your nest, or...whatever it is you need doing around here. Or eat them. I don’t care.”

The Burning One’s eyes glowed behind the curtain for several lungs of breath. He watched the man in silence, thoughts unknowable, until the man began to tap his foot in irritation.

I want to be inside you. Not in a sexual way, but literally. I want to cut from between your collarbones down to your naval. Peeling apart your skin and muscle. Opening you up and seeing the real, raw, you. I want to hide away inside of you, away from the outside world and the horrible things around us. I’ll stay close to your heart, holding it tight to tell you “I love you.”
