I almost stayed awake all night because I forgot to take my evening meds. I had to take them at one o'clock in the morning, and also take a tranquilizer. I went to bed after sorting out the laundry, and I had pretty nice dreams. I dreamed of using a bed with orange and yellow retro bed sheets as a sled, and sliding through sunny earthen roads. Old peasant women stood by the sides of the roads and waved happily at me. I ended up in a cafe, and I thought how nice would it be if my parents were here too. I thought I had seen a glimpse of Heaven. I got up, took my morning meds with breakfast, and had coffee. I got dressed. I washed two loads of laundry and washed the garbage bins. When it was time to leave, I took the laundry to the drying room and then I took out the recycling. I took a bus to downtown and noticed that at the tram stop, someone had broken a beer bottle. I picked up the shards and put them to the garbage bin. I took a tram to the fancier part of downtown, and went to a restaurant where Krista was having her 34th birthday party. Mirette was already there. The food was really fancy and exotic. After the restaurant, we went to Ari and Krista's home, there was a club house or a club room, more specifically, at their apartment house. Mirette came with me, Johanna was there as well, Marjut and her sweetheart Teemu and Elisa and her sweetheart Jani were there as well. We all had a good time together. There was a sauna, karaoke, treats of all kinds, and plenty of people. I left when the others started playing trivia. I took a tram and a bus back home. Once home, I took my evening meds, washed another load of laundry, and did the evening skincare routine. I emptied my backpack and washed all the purses and bags, and I also washed the bathrobe and the rug and other things, and took them downstairs to the drying room. I still don't feel the effects of the meds. More like, I feel angry and delusional. Tomorrow I will go to movies, and then I will do the rest of the housework. Riikka will come for a visit.

THE FIVE SENSES
HEAR:
How would you describe the sound of your muse’s voice? Pleasant and reassuring, easy to listen to. Light, not particular deep, but also not high in any way, a genuinely nice voice.
What sorts of music do they like to listen to? A lot of Caamp, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, Judah & the Lion, Ray LaMontagne, the kind of music that you would expect someone who lives in a camper to listen to, truth be told.
If they had to pick three songs to listen to for the rest of their life, what would those three songs be? Vagabond by Caamp, Terrible Love by The National, To Build a Home by The Cinematic Orchestra.
What’s their favorite sound? Nature -- Jace loves the sounds of birds, the babbling of a brook, the rustling of leaves overhead in the trees. Even the howling of coyotes ends up sounding like music to his ears after a while. The crackling of a campfire on an otherwise silent night is heavenly, as well.
Their least favorite sound? There are a lot of sounds that are triggering to Jason, although he's spent a lot of time in online sessions with a good therapist to deal with them. He would have to say that his absolute least favorite sound in the world are gunshots, even if he has gotten better at dealing with them.
TOUCH:
What’s one of your muse’s favorite textures? Leather, more than likely. The smooth, supple feeling of it between his fingers has always made him feel powerful in a way.
What does their skin feel like? Smooth? Rough? His skin is more rough than soft, from years of working in the parks and firefighting, it's hard to avoid.
Do they like maintaining a skincare routine? Absolutely not. He uses sunscreen every day and moisturizes at night after washing his face, and that's about it.
Are there any textures that your muse doesn’t like? Why? He isn't fond of the canvas or burlap textures, heavy fabrics in general, mostly from his time in the military. Anything that makes him think of heavy uniforms and duffel bags dragged all over the place.
How often do they clip their nails? Do they bite them? Jace's nails are always trimmed short, mostly to avoid biting them, which is a very bad habit that he has when nervous or bored.
SIGHT:
Is their vision good, or do they need glasses or contacts? Although they've weakened from his 20-20 vision of yesteryear, Jason has really good eye sight. He does wear glasses to read, but it's more to prevent eye strain than to aid in the actual reading.
Do they like to use their glasses or contacts if they need them? He doesn't mind. He's come to find that glasses can weirdly be a turn-on for other people. A lesson learned in college.
What is your muse’s visual aesthetic? (eg: outfits, colors, etc.) Rugged, outdoorsy; he wears a lot of jeans, cotton t-shirts, plaid button-ups, work boots, khakis. Even when attending formal events, he's still dressed down, and he doesn't believe in spending a lot on clothes. He wears a lot of neutral colors, navies, emeralds, rust, earthen type tones.
What normal looking objects appear ugly to your muse? Cars. Jason doesn't get cars -- he's had the same 2000 Jeep that he bought back in 2008 and he hasn't even thought of upgrading it, since he finds them, for the most part, quite ugly.
Are they good or bad at winking? Good, but sometimes it takes thought to not keep on eye closed like he's scoping.
SMELL:
What does your muse smell like? The woods. Both in he sense of living in the woods, quite literally, and also the fact that most of the things that he sprays or lathers on or around himself are in fact either pine or woodsy scented, in general.
Favorite candle scent? Since everything he puts on himself is more outdoorsy in the woodsy, rugged kind of way, Jason actually leans towards a lot of soft floral scents with candles. He absolutely loves a good lilac candle, and probably burns those the most of all of them that he has found.
What sorts of shampoo / body wash scents do they like? Admittedly... he tends to just use those three-in-ones, he's really not that particular. His showers tend to be quick and effortless, since the camper bathroom is not really all that big.
What’s their favorite smell? The ground, fresh after a rainstorm. He doesn't even mind walking in the rain, if it means getting to be in that fresh and new headspace and smell the earth.
What’s their least favorite smell? Heavy smoke and blood.
TASTE:
If your muse had a taste, how would you describe it? Salty and smoked; the kind of taste that lingers, but not in a bad way. If anything, it stays in your brain until you get to try another piece.
Are they more of a sweet or salty person? Definitely more of a salty person, he likes to snack on salted sunflower seeds, for example, over chewing breath mints or gum when nervous.
What flavor lip balm do they usually use? Regular ole chap stick -- the medicated kind, to keep his lips in good shape.
Do they lick, or do they bite? Bite.
What’s their favorite meal to make / eat? Jason likes to cook, surprisingly. That probably comes from the fact that he is so independent, but didn't want to spend all of his money on take out or restaurants. He keeps his small kitchen in the camper pretty well stocked, but he loves to make a good burger on the grill, with all of the fixings. And steak fries.

tag: 20 first lines
I was tagged by @teasenpaiwrites! Thank you!
Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20 stories just list them all). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favourite opening line. Then tag others!
I was tagged in a similar game LITERALLY forever ago by @scmalarky PRE-BLOG MOVE, which makes it the oldest tag game sitting my drafts. It came with the following rules:
Rules: list the first lines of your last ten published stories. note if there are any patterns yourself and see if anyone else notices any! tag ten friends!
I put it off bc to date I’ve only published two stories over on Wattpad. So doing the first lines from the last twenty projects is somehow...easier? I suppose? 
I’ll be putting the opening paragraph or so of each piece, and will only be using WIPs that I actually started at the beginning. Anything that doesn’t start at the actual beginning will be skipped.
Anyways, this is going under a cut bc I know it’s going to be ridiculously long. In order of ‘last modified by me’ as per Google Docs:
Remnants
Radka had been a seamstress in a previous life. Trained from childhood on the most delicate stitches, the most intricate embellishments. She had worked for royalty, sewing crystals and spun gold into skirts for the biggest social events of the year. Her steady hand and attention to detail had earned her a job in the palace by fourteen, and a spot on the queen’s personal seamstress team by fifteen. But that was years in the past. The girl she had been then, demure and innocent, wouldn’t recognize the woman she had grown up to be.
Open Seas
Theresia Bowen sat in the back of one of her family carriages, forehead pressed against the window as she watched the countryside fly past. The sky stretched on forever above her, interrupted only by the occasional wispy white clouds, and the spring sun had melted the snow from the hills to her left. The grass was still struggling to grow but was scattered in patches across the mud. To her right, the sea rolled and waved to the horizon. Ships dotted the deep blue, their sails bright and full with wind. Most were trading ships, a few navy, and the smallest of them all were pleasure ships. It was how she knew they were close to her destination.
Indigo Wars
Violet Colby sat cross-legged on her narrow bed in the room she shared with her two sisters at Osbrick Estate. The name was a holdover from the property’s previous life as a stately home, though not much else had carried over. The walled compound was nestled in the eastern sands of Edristan, less than two kilometres west of the capital city, with sun-bleached buildings that housed several dozen orphans and foundlings.
Pine Hollow
It was a miserable Monday morning, with dark, heavy clouds masking the rising sun and a steady rain pounding the town of Pine Hollow and the surrounding area. The dirt trails through the dense forest were slick with mud, the tire ruts becoming puddles and the puddles becoming proper ponds. It was as far from ideal body hunting conditions as possible without snow, but Virginia Crane had a job to do and she wasn’t about to let some adverse weather stop her.
Rochester WIP
The wedding was supposed to begin in five minutes and the bride was nowhere to be found.
Evelyn Rochester, for her part, was not surprised. Her sister Dorothea had claimed a headache a week earlier to get out of a family outing and had been gone by the time they’d returned. A small chest and a collection of her clothing had been gone as well. Their parents had made inquiries to some family friends but no one had seen Dottie, and at twenty-six she was allowed to do as she pleased, so they’d been left to wait to see if she’d return.
Just Jane
Jane rolled over in the narrow bed, pressing her face into the pillow as though it would make it any easier to sleep. Even as she breathed in the warm, sweet scent of the bed owner’s favourite perfume—myrrh, rose, styrax, and marjoram—a new sound made her ears prick to attention.
UNSS Spectre
The spacecraft glided through the void, following its prey silently. It was using its minimum operating power, leaving the two inside to perform their duties without overhead or emergency lighting. Only the glow of their instruments illuminated the interior of the craft. 
“Cloaking device operating as normal,” Ensign Graecyn Ramsey said. She didn’t need to provide verbal updates since Captain Mezei could see everything that she could see and there was no one else aboard the tiny stealth class craft, but it was habit and she couldn’t seem to stop herself.
Fissures
Katherine Delacroix was seething. It was hard enough trying to get a gaggle of thirteen to eighteen year old girls to focus under normal circumstances but having the #1 most eligible bachelor of the school just hanging out at the back of the auditorium was making it nearly impossible. To make matters worse, the attention paid to the blond was bruising the egos of the boys in the group and she was painfully aware of how desperately the musical needed them not to quit. They already had a female Cogsworth and Le Fou; they didn't have enough girls with deep voices to play Gaston or Lumiere or, god forbid, Beast.
Snapshots
“Are you still looking for a roommate?” Misha asked, voice muffled slightly by whatever she was doing on the opposite end of the phone.
“You mean since you stole my last one? Yes,” Micah replied. He was stuck in traffic on his commute home from work, something his twin sister Misha knew, which was why she’d called when he had no excuse not to talk to her. It wasn’t that he didn’t like talking to her, he just wasn’t much of a talker.
“You’re gonna have to get over that,” she said.
The Tournament
The coin spun in lazy circles on the table, defying every law of physics. Izora Graham watched it with one hand held in a claw-like position over it. She didn't need to but it made it easier to cover the coin should anyone watch it too closely. The bar was still fairly empty so early in the evening and she was tucked away in the back booth away from the few early birds sitting at the counter, however any displays of magic would bring unwanted attention. Especially something that could be useful to any of the Upper Houses like her telekinesis.
Noyama Contest
Earthens had spread across dozens of galaxies once they’d perfected faster-than-light travel, and hundreds of solar systems within those galaxies. PT-759 was one of the galaxies they’d colonized only to find that it was already inhabited. It had ended up working out alright though, as the native species had radically different planetary needs and also happened to find Earthens downright adorable.
Naetov was a smaller planet at the edge of Federation-controlled space in PT-759. It had a few key cities where government funding was funneled to keep them perfect for non-Earthen tourists. Those cities were clean and friendly, open spaces and carefully maintained flora making up the downtown cores, streamlined designs and shiny surfaces giving the impression of a planet on the cusp of significance.
Gossamer Girl
It was the first day of winter and things were already looking bad. Even though the cold weather had held off for an extra two weeks, the harvest had been poor. A mold had festered in their southern field during the wet spring and had spread quickly. They’d razed the infected sections as soon as the fungus had been discovered but it had already destroyed a large swath of plants. They’d lost nearly a quarter of their usual yield and the troubles had only spiralled from there.
Knotted Strings
The room was just a bit too cold to be comfortable. The walls were wood panelled with some sort of reddish wood that matched the flooring. Rows of chairs with collapsible desks filled most of the lecture hall, with the front of the room dominated by a whiteboard and a table. The professor, hawkish in appearance, was perched on a bar stool facing the students and overlooking the table.
Tess lounged in her seat at the table at the front of the room, notebook open on the table in front of her and pen moving deftly across the page. She watched her competition critically as he spoke. His argument was solid enough to cast reasonable doubt on her case, or it would have been had he bothered to address a small piece of evidence she found to be damning. He finished his conclusion to a spatter of applause and returned to his seat across from her. 
“Well done, Mr. Wynn. Miss Kinney, would you like a few moments to prepare your rebuttal?” the professor asked.
“No, I’m good,” Tess replied. She sat up, scribbled a note in her book, and then pushed the book across the table.
Oh, Ophelia
Alexis lounged in the shade next to the pool, sipping a daiquiri and considering her next move. She’d been using the same identity for nearly fifteen years and the neighbours were starting to get suspicious. With all the new beauty products and surgeries available to people of her wealth it was easier to convince people she was nearing forty when she was in the body of a twenty-three year old, but now she had to deal with people asking for her skincare routines and her doctors and the identity wasn’t worth all of the research she was having to do. She was getting sick of Malibu anyways, what with the yearly forest fires that got closer each year. She missed the deep-rooted history of Europe, the memories she had in all of the major cities, the people like her who were still living in their castles and manors pretending like the world hadn’t left them behind.
Bloodlines
Ten of Wands. The Tower. Two of Swords.
Morrigan Keeling sat on the floor of her bedroom, chewing the end of a pen and staring intently at the tarot cards spread in front of her. It was a simple three card spread to indicate how her day was going to go: a card to describe herself, one to indicate what was going to greet her, and another to show the outcome of the situation. She’d gotten into the habit of doing it every day while living at home, and even five years after moving out she found it a relaxing routine to start the day.
The day’s cards, however, were not very relaxing.
PerDeA
The backseat of the car was dark, only illuminated for short intervals by the orange glow of the streetlights. Two figures sat across from each other in the shifting light. In the backwards-facing seat on the driver’s side was PerDeA. Her dark hair was pulled tightly into a ponytail, lips slightly parted as she stared unblinking out the back window. Shoulders square, back straight, chin up, hands folded neatly in her lap, her breathing perfectly rhythmic; she would have looked human if not for the faintly glowing cybernetic blue rings superimposed over her black eyes.
Westhaven
Her eyes were open but she couldn’t see anything. There were mechanical sounds ‒ beeping, whirring ‒ all around her, and voices too far away for her to understand. The sharp smell of antiseptic and the softer detergent scent beneath it.
“Initiate optical system,” a muted female voice instructed. Between one breath and the next she started processing visual information: bright white lights above her, the featureless ceiling beyond, her own nose and eyelashes. She couldn’t move her head to see much else. Walls that matched the ceiling so well it was hard to tell where one became the other, bits of the bed she was on with its bleachable white sheets and side rails.
“Increase tactile responsivity by fifty percent and disengage the motion inhibitors.”
Pro Patria Mori
She sat on the narrow bed with her packed suitcase next to her. Her blonde hair was pinned back, her blue eyes fixed on a spot next to the door, her hands folded neatly in her lap. The winter chill clung like burrs to the house, helped by the heavy spring rain that beat against the window in a staccato rhythm. Outside, trees bowed under the charcoal sky. The old house creaked and groaned around her, the wind whistling and wailing as the storm continued to batter the country estate. She waited.
At any moment there would be a knock on the main door of the house. Godfrey, the aged and shuffling butler, would answer. Standing on the other side would be some men in crisp uniforms, holding up her picture and asking if he knew her. She had seen them in town the evening before, and it wouldn’t take more than a day before someone pointed them in the right direction. They looked like military men but there was something different in their manner, something sharper. Godfrey would lead them up, and up, and up, until they reached her third floor apartment. The butler would introduce them, she would smile politely, and she would leave with them without a fight.
The Clocktower
Astra hated Capperham. The way it sprawled its squalor from border to border, from the sea in the west to the battlements in the other three directions. The harbour reeked of dead fish and unwashed human, the slums of sickness and stale beer. Even the neighbourhoods of rich merchants and factory owners lay under the thick smog of black soot the mines and mills spat out day and night. The grit and dirt was part of everything, so deeply ingrained that even the most rigorous scrubbing couldn’t make something clean.
Stars Incline Us
The Christmas gala was in full swing. The entire ballroom was full of people Pippa didn’t know, all wearing fancy clothes that probably cost more than her rent. Her own dress was aubergine and a simple V-neck, form-fitting enough to be attractive but loose enough to not draw too much attention.
She and another girl who didn’t seem to know anyone at the event were chatting with Antero and Mr. Rabinoff near the edge of the dance floor. Antero was already antsy to leave despite the dinner having just ended, but Mr. Rabinoff had trapped him in a debate he was too proud to back down from. The other girl was from legal and either found them hilarious or had had a little too much to drink because she kept giggling, leaving Pippa no choice but to laugh along while adding the occasional remark to the back and forth between the men.
Tumblr media
That brings us all the way back to October 2016. Which tells me that I need to start at the beginning of more stories haha. If anyone has questions about any of these, please feel free to ask. Also, if you read all of that, you are a saint and a hero and have my eternal friendship.
I tag @the-writing-avocado​, @radiowrites​, @pigeon-hold​, @sleepyowlwrites​, @akindofmagictoo​, and anyone else who wants to share their projects!! As always, no pressure (to play or to read this whole post lmao).

Lance brings Shiro a cup of dark liquid to his room after a training session with Keith. No words. Smug smile. It's alien coffee, not perfect but close. Shiro is happy about it. And makes a comment about cream. And pulls out a cup of milk behind his back to.
(I’m going to assume this is a prompt, but thanks for sending one in! Major Coffee Grinds and Morse Code vibes from this. I hope you enjoy this!Reminder, prompts are open! Send in anything - ships, sentences, images, whatever.)
-
They’re sitting on Shiro’s bed, neither boy saying a word yet both felt a sense of content that’s hard to come by while you’re battling a ten thousand-year-old war. If relaxation and a hesitant moment of security was fleeting, spare energy was even more so.
Shiro, for all his great morning glory and seemingly limitless energy, did in fact have a breaking point - so Lance had found out. Who would have known that leading four pseudo-teenagers and their semi-sentient robotic lions could been tiring. Ever since the two had started their rather lowkey relationship, the blue paladin saw his boyfriend’s eyebags get more and more pronounced; as someone who campaigned for skincare, Lance was not happy over that. So that was why, after a prolonged campaign to free this one farming planet from the Galra clutches, Lance had a brilliant idea: coffee. 
Well, not exactly. Turns out the exact same coffee fruit couldn’t be found on other planets. However team Voltron’s little stint on the farming planet saw Lance stumble quite literally upon a berry bush that once scanned at the castle for possible toxins, was found to contain an almost exact copy of the structural formula for caffeine. Enlisting Hunk’s help, Lance set to work.
And here he was, two weeks (maybe. Space time was weird) later, sitting with Shiro in their now shared room, both sipping on the weird space-coffee Lance concocted. Sure, it was quite tart and yeah, there was an minty aftertaste that normal Earthen coffee would never have, but it was familiar in a way the harsh artificial lighting of the Castle and fluorescent food goo never was. As Shiro sipped on a cup heavily diluted with Kalternacker-cream, Lance leaned on his muscular boyfriend, basking in the warmth of his body heat and the black coffee in his mug. 
It was the little things in space that were always the best.
“Thank you.” 
Shiro’s voice was muffled by the steam coming from his cup, but Lance heard it nonetheless. The blue paladin felt a warm travel up him that was more sweet, more homely than any coffee could create. Not too saccharine, not too bitter, Just the right temperature; a Goldilocks zone of happiness. 
“No problem.” Lance whispered back. The two didn’t need to say anything more, for now they were just enjoying their new beverage that would hopefully recuperate lost energy. 
(And when the moment was over, Lance teased Shiro endlessly for his coffee choices.)

Sooo... if you ever want to give us some more mamoran au hc, it would be deeply appreciated. I'm obsessed with your au and I can't wait for the next chapter!! I do hope you're taking care of yourself though.
Sure!-not many people know this, but Antok really REALLY likes it when Lance helps him with skincare. He grumbles and makes a big show about hating it, but secretly, he likes the fragrance of the products and the way his skins feels afterwards. Also he loves Lance and it makes the boy happy -Eshka has an older brother, that’s why she’s so good at handling Orok. He’s on the front lines a lot though, and though she never says, everyone can tell she worries when she tears holes in the training bots
-Keith eventually becomes fluent in Galran, but he has a think Earthen accent. No one will tells him what it sounds like no matter how many times he asks, until Krolia one day offhandedly likens it to an Irish accent. Keith contemplates for several days how he sounds Irish to the Blade of Marmora.
