A sigh escaped Loop as Siffrin tied off their braid. They leaned back and put a finger on his chin, gently tugging him forward.

“Hmm? Wh-”

A kiss was pressed against his lips, and instantly his starlight was pulled close. Loop twisted, pushing Siffrin back against the wall, gently. They broke it with a pant, Siffrin putting a hand on their chest. Warmth pulsed beneath his fingers, the star beating where their heart should be.

Loop closed their eyes and leaned forward, pressing their forehead lightly against his. “....I wish to stay with you…”

“...that's some loaded language.”

“And said with no regret in my star…”

Siffrin hummed and pressed closer. “...I wish for you to stay…”

“Forever…” they spoke as one.

wip wednesday

Loosely based on @sausagepastry 's lighthouse keeper/merman au

Once the boat was beached on the rocks, Niki scrambled out and pulled it closer so that it wouldn’t get washed away. Kohaku should have been keeping an eye on him and would be down to help in a moment, but Niki was still baffled by the uh, tail, and now that he wasn’t distracted by the rocking of the boat, the fact that there were gills and fins on the merman in front of him. 

“Hey! Wake up!” He tried shouting and shaking the merman. It had grabbed onto the boat out in the water and looked like it was breathing as much as Niki could tell. How something that may or may not have both gills and air breathing lungs would be able to show he was breathing, Niki wasn’t entirely sure, nor was he sure he wanted to know that answer. 

“Niki-han, did you find anythi--oh what is…” Kohaku came to a stop next to Niki, looking at the merman. “Please tell me I’m seein’ things.” 

“I don’t think so, Kohaku-chan. He won’t wake up but I don’t want to leave him in the storm either.” Niki shook the merman’s shoulder again, gently slapping its face to no avail. He pressed a finger to its neck to search for a pulse but he didn’t even know if that would yield any results. There was a faint throbbing though, something like a heartbeat. Could they stay out of water? If only the damn thing were awake and could answer their questions. 

Another lightning strike jolted them back to reality. “Kohaku-chan, start running the bath and get the stove heated. I’ll try and get him in the house.” Kohaku nodded and ran back inside, while Niki contemplated the best way to get the merman back. There was a wheelbarrow somewhere that would probably work well enough to get him up to the door but trying to wheel it up the steps even when it was empty was a challenge. His stomach growled and Niki decided to just grab it and maybe he would just dump it through the door and he and Kohaku could carry it to the bathroom. Yeah, that would work well enough.

i talk a lot about how much i like writing angst but holy shit i forgot how fun it is to just write goofy scenarios and banter between characters who are actually friends

[sharktofu]

The feral need to share the WIP so good but it doesn't have much plot just yet and ughhhhhhhhhh

But i did it so good and i want praiseeeeeeeeee

[wyvernofthelake]

Actually managed to get some more work done on my bleach fic, hopefully I'll be able to finish that one sometime this year?

For the Cafe chapter, about... half of it is done, though it may end up much longer than I'm currently expecting.

[the-kipsabian]

lmao

[astro-b-o-y-d]

Fuck're you looking at, little man?

[cyberpunkboytoy]

I HAVE TO RESTART 😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨 thats ok thanks so much! is it different dialog or is it like the same? it'd be pretty boring...

(In response to this ask)

When I say 'restart', it's just starting from ch 1 again. Don't actually delete your saves or re-install your game again ;;; anyway, for Taku's route you can hold your hand on that sweet sweet 'skip' button to zoom over all the dialouge you've already seen, and then after Ikunia's euphoric episode you get the choice to either call Taku or Rei. That's how you decide the route. (so yea, same dialogue up until then)

Taku's Chapter 2 is entirely different from Rei's, and then chapter 3 is of course the meat of the Taku stuff (just like how Rei's went).

For the third route you unlock, the choice you need is before Ikunia's stuff (you get a new item), and then the choices you make for Ikunia's euphoric episode are different (again...guide is your friend). You still chose to text Rei or Taku after that, just like usual, but on the third route that choice doesn't actually matter.

Today I wrote about 900 words \o/ But only 100 of those were in the thing I wanted to add words to :( And most of them are in the wrong chapter. :( :(

[avocado-frog]

I Iike dylan and elliot a lot because in the next chapter dylan takes the literal coma patient and puts him in a box and says "yeah elliot would be totally cool with this" (being kidnapped into a storage container by a twelve year old) and the best part is that he really would be fine with it

[coffeeaddictandinsomniac]

spoilers for chapter three of save yourself with no context (and probably not a good description either but oh well).

a custody battle but only one person is fighting it and is the only one that thinks of it as one.

[zenatness]

Can't sleep. Again. Still. On day 11 of continuous sleep fuckery. Tried working on Untouchable to pass the time while my brain wouldn't chill enough to go snork mimimi~

"What's the next chapter?" I ask myself, opening up the document in question. "Chapter 39: Stars" Oh. Oh. Oh no. "No, it's probably fine to work on this late, I know what happens so I'll just edit and..." (reader, it was not fine, I am if anything more awake now)

Stars is one of those old chapters that have been set in stone for ages. It got moved around a lot because of how events developed but, due to certain elements in it, it absolutely must come before what is now chapter 40, and as I set a firm timeline for the plot progression in chapter 38 chapter 40 has to happen in a matter of days... so no more moving it around.

The real problem with those old chapters that are set in stone is that they are all essential to moving the plot forwards and towards the end. And I really love working with these characters and don't want to stop.

I've got a part 2, 3 and possible 3.5 started, but at the same time... it won't be the same thing and I don't like it >:I

[returning-spring]

the good news is now that I'm settling into the new job, I HAVE been writing more. the other (I won't say bad) news is that it's a totally unrelated bingliushen wip

[the-kingshound]

Small Kal update

I am very fond of lists and bullet points so I'm going to make this post, and hopefully more if I manage to stay consistent, to update everyone following my WIPs about their progress.

The King's Hound

You might know that the update, which consists of the second part of chapter 2, is 95% done in terms of writing. Unfortunately, it has been for quite a while, and though I had hoped to release it by September, at the latest October, it's clear that I need a bit more time.

The main reason, just so you all are aware and know what to expect from me and my games, is that I started a three year university course, Dietetics, and the lessons alone go from 9 am to either 4 pm or 6 pm (plus, I have almost four hours a day total of commute). It's not difficult per se, but it is physically draining and takes a lot of time and energy out of me.

Personal update aside, last weekend I managed to:

Edit Arthur and Gwyar's first pov scenes in game. I think I am finally satisfied, and hopefully you will be too

Polish the code a bit.

Not much, but still. What's left to do for the update is:

Edit Morien's first meeting with MC in chapter 2

Finish writing the ROs scenes in chapter 2 (part 2)

Code chapter 2 part 2 (😭)

I'll keep you updated if I manage to get some progress done in the weekend!

Golden Ashes (blog)

Last week I finally changed the title and the blog aesthetic, so there's that. I am very happy with the new look. As for the rewrite:

I have been slowly working on it since summer. The total wordcount is around 3k words, and it includes Cherena's first meeting + dragon MC's introduction into society. It's about 30% of the updated Prologue.

I have done a bit of work on the Twine UI for Golden Ashes, but with the Sugarcube update I will need some help to have it all working as it should. Still, it's mostly done so it shouldn't require much additional time

Aand that's all. See you soon❤
