Writing Share/Fave Line/Kiss Tags

Thanks to @tragedycoded (x) (x) @wyked-ao3 (x) @finickyfelix (x) aziz-reads (x) (x) @the-golden-comet (x)

@gioiaalbanoart (x) and @willtheweaver (x) for the tags!

The Beach Episode has slowed a bit as I've reached a potential sex scene and I'm unsure of how explicit I want to make it. In the meantime, I've done some more reading through of the 450k fic I was working on during lockdown and snagging bits I think are good and/or can be repurposed for other fics.

Background here is Telford's POV, longstanding friends-with-benefits arrangement going on with Young. Telford's recruited Rush to the programme and Gloria's still alive. The fave line is bolded and I'm sure you can see why it's my favourite! I love my twisted little guy. 😂

“What are you waiting for?” Young asked, the rough massage he was treating Telford's dick to getting him hard pretty quickly. “Bit awkward.” Telford bit at Young’s neck, pulling his shirt down so he could make marks where no one would see. “I’m not actually going to sleep with him.” The hand stilled and he just about stopped himself from bucking into it. Rewards came to those who waited. Patience was a virtue. All that useless shit. “Why not?” Telford didn’t understand how Young managed to get by thinking solely with his dick without once considering the logic that maybe it wasn't a good idea to alienate the project's lead geek. If he fucked with Rush and it went wrong, then where did that leave him? He’d have practically handed the reigns to Jackson with a wrapped invitation. He knew Young wouldn’t accept that answer, but he also knew the alternative one would ruin the mood. It wouldn’t be too hard to get it back though; Young was a slut when it came down to it. Telford didn’t think he’d ever call the man that unless he was really pissed off, but it was nice to think. “His wife’s dying,” he said, trying not to sound as if he cared more about the hand on his groin than Gloria Rush and her untimely demise. “Cancer,” he supplied as the corners of Young’s mouth turned down. “Shit.” It would be much more convenient if she wasn’t dying, though then maybe she wouldn’t support Rush so ardently when it came to moving across the country and taking up with the military. Telford then considered that it would be more convenient if she had already died. “It’s a shame. I think Nick would be good in bed.” It was probably only because Young was so used to him saying wildly inappropriate things that the man didn’t just get out of bed right then and there. He gave Telford an extremely chastising look instead, which didn’t really hit its mark because Telford had never met anyone in his life who could make him feel chastised. “He told me to dress up for him,” he continued, because apparently his mouth didn’t know what was good for it. At least Young was distracted by that. “What?” Telford cleared his throat and attempted to put on a Scottish accent. He’d never tried one before so he imagined it to be rather lacking in quality. “Wear something other than those fucking fatigues. If you own any normal clothes.” Young laughed and the hand still resting on Telford’s crotch gave him a light squeeze. “I’m gonna wear that leather jacket you said makes me look like a porn star.” Young buried his face in Telford’s neck in response, shoulders shaking with mirth. His hand started stroking again which made Telford hum approvingly. “Why, if you’re not gonna sleep with him?” Telford reasoned that saying ‘so when his wife dies I’m ahead of the curve’ would most likely get him kicked out. It would certainly stop Young’s hand from moving. “Doesn’t mean I can’t have fun.” He hooked a hand into Young’s hair and manoeuvred him into kissing range. Young bit at Telford’s tongue. “Poor Rush.” He didn’t sound as if he felt sorry for the mathematician in the slightest.

‘Ali….’ Noah hummed in his mind as he moaned into the kiss. ‘….make me yours.’

Ali smirked into the kiss as a low rumble escaped his own throat. ‘Is this a wish, Noah, or a command?’

‘A command.’

‘In that case, who am I to refuse?’

To My Friend: Or, a Letter From a Villain

My dearest,

I am sorry. For everything that has passed between us. I am sorry for the fights we have had, for the scabs on our knees and the pranks we have played. I am sorry we did not do more of it. 

I remember we used to sit on that tree. We carved our names on it. It was not romantic. We didn't know what romance was. It didn't matter, even if it was romance. We were just having fun. 

We had a challenge to climb it all the way up to the top. It was the highest tree in the forest, or so your sister told you. I'm sorry that I never did reach that top branch, and even more sorry that I never helped you up there.

I pushed you off once. Your knee was fractured, and you yelled so loudly the weird girl from the next village over came to investigate. She helped me carry you all the way home. Mother and Father yelled at me so afterwards. I remember having to do your chores for weeks afterwards. I am sorry for that. Your tears made my heart ache so badly. I cannot believe you still let me draw on the cast. Did you like the flowers I put on them? I do not know if you could tell, but they were supposed to be lilies. Your favourite.

How are you now? Did you manage to start the shop you always wanted to man? I know you told your mother about it, and she slapped you and said to dream bigger. She told you that you would be great one day. I hope you are not. Greatness really is not what it was cracked up to be.

I am sorry I have not spoken with you. I did not think you would want me to, what with what has happened since. I do not think you would be happy to see me. I am everything I ever wanted to be, and I hate it.

We dreamed as children, did we not? I dreamt of a crown of jewels and a throne of bone, a foolish thing to want for a boy such as I. You dreamt of a quiet butchery at the heart of the village, leaning on the counter and bragging about being the one to provide the Emperor with freshmeats. What kind of whelp dreams of being a butcher, anyways? I am sorry I did not mock you for it.

How silly we were there, little kids playing a wild game of pretend. How different we were. How foolish.

I do not eat freshmeats from a butcher. No, I feast of flesh right from the bone. It tastes fresher, sharper, like the memory of you carving into my heart. Do you like carvings, still? You used to make the most adorable birds out of called branches. I would scour the forest after a storm and bring the best pieces just for you.

I would give you all the branches in the world to have you by my side. You could be my lady, my advisor, my butcher. Whatever position you want, my friend, you could have it. Just come back. Please. I am sorry for what I have become, for the monster I see in the mirror.

That tree we used to sit on is fallen now. I had it cut down after I took the throne. I am sorry for that, too. Nonetheless, it sits in my trophy room now. We could sit on it together again. I could have servants push the both of us up onto its topmost branches.

What do you say, my friend? Will you come back to me? Will you accept my apology, and renew what cruel fate tore apart? Will you be my friend again?

Remember: I know where you live. And I can bring you back to me, whether you like it or not.

Character Introduction - Valen Cassidy (Scrapyard Boys)

⚡・・About/General Info ・・⚡

A street urchin despised by the government of New Omnium, Valen was once the son of a celebrated journalist - his mother was a woman who was on the verge of uncovering and exposing the true schemes going on under the surface of their city's elite, when she was suspiciously killed. Valen was then almost sent by the government to the mysterious Spectre Academies - a training ground for mutant youths, beloved by the public but which holds dark secrets within - but before they could, Valen managed to escape, utilizing his Electrokinesis powers to neutralize the agents and allow him to escape into the lower districts of the city, where he disappeared from the grid. Valen grew into a rebellious and defiantly angry young man, classified as one of the city's Top 10 Most Dangerous mutant outlaws, a target to be eliminated. With the help of his chaotic crew of other superpowered street urchins, Valen finds himself following his mother's footsteps - but this time through a vigilante route - to expose their city's dystopic regime and find out the truth behind the billionaire industries that built it. And slowly, they start to figure out that the origins of mutant powers in humanity was not quite what they were led to believe, and that the strange occurances happening all around the city were not mere coincidences.

⚡・・More Info ・・⚡

Pronouns - He/Him Current Role - Protagonist, Part of the Main Cast Appearance - Valen has very, very long, curly, and voluminous golden blond hair, messily styled and which he takes a lot of pride in. His eyes are a deep electric blue, like the color of lightning or electricity, which is fitting given one of his main powers is Electrokinesis. He is average height, though on the shorter end of the spectrum for someone in his late teens (when the main story starts), but he is very strong - freakishly so, for someone who is so lanky and whose powers have nothing to do with strength. He wears ripped-up denim vests with customized patches, an old, dark black shirt with the logo of his favorite rock band, also ripped-up jean pants and bright red long-neck sneakers, as well as tin rings and cheap necklaces. He has a menacing look that usually pushes others away, like a brewing lightning storm.

Personality Types:

✶ Enneagram: 8w7

✶ MBTI: ESTP

Occupation: Street Urchin, Vigilante, Rebel Powers: Eletrokinesis, Eletrical Conduction, Storm Manipulation, and the likes! Sexuality: Straight Alias: Thunderfall

⚡・・Extras・・⚡

300 Followers!!! 🥳🥳🥳 Recipe Poll!

Thank y'all so much! Its really encouraging to know that people are interested in the world and the characters that I've made!

When I reached 100 followers, to celebrate I recreated my MCs favorite food, kipsha and then for 200 followers I made Otilia's favorite food, daropaka.

Now that I have reached 300 followers I am making this poll with a list of the favorite foods of a few of my OCs so that I can show y'all a little more about the foods and customs of the Green Sea! Let me know which y'all would be most interested in seeing, and I will make it and post about it with a recipe and a bit of a history on that particular dish!

These are the favorite foods of Ninma, Wadikir, Istek, Dati, Shela, Akard, Zenit, and Penetinos (in that order).

Thank you again everyone, and here is to hoping that one day I'll get the chance to show you all of these recipes. In future polls I'll start adding some of the dishes from characters in the other books. And if this is the first time you've seen something from me on tumblr, vote too if you want and take a look at some of the other stuff on my blog!

Seeking Volunteer Alpha Readers

Kinda like beta readers. but even earlier. Rachelle and I are still working on outlining the first book and there are a few spots that we're having trouble with because I think we're cursed with the knowledge of knowing what happens next so all the little clues and details feel really obvious to us but might not be for the audience.

So if anyone is interested in being a fresh pair of eyes, drop your discord below if you've got it [if you don't, just comment below, and I'll work with you individually, discord is just the easiest way to collaborate]

Title: Deviant

Series: The Zodiacs Book 1

Genre: YA Dystopian

Tags: Enemies to Lovers, found family, dystopian, queer romance, hell queer people in general, slow burn romance

I’m hella new to the idea of tagging my story so apologies if I don’t really know what to tag my story with/I do it wrong

If you liked… you might like this: The Lunar Chronicles, Arc of a Scythe, Uglies, The House of the Scorpion, The Red Queen Series

Trigger warnings: This story deals with an oppressive government which includes things like police brutality, gaslighting, mental and physical abuse, and general violence as well as PTSD

Would rate PG-13 ish? Uncertain.

Synopsis:

Deviants are born different.

Caspian is a deviant. More than anything he wants to be a doctor. But the laws against deviants prevent him from being able to take on medical training beyond being a nurse.

Adrian is a deviant. He has spent his entire life struggling under the weight of government expectations and military power. He has spent the last five years conspiring with others to put an end to deviant oppression.

When an accident at the hospital gets Caspian arrested, he is thrown headfirst into Adrian’s revolution and discovers who he really is.

Ima just throw my whole tag list down here, but anyone is welcome, including all our non-writer friends out there. Y'all are just as much part of the audience as anyone else

Last Line/WIP Excerpt

Thank you for the tags @finickyfelix (x) @wyked-ao3 (x) and @frostedlemonwriter (x)

So you want BAMF Telford? You want protective Telford? You want the love language of committing-violence-on-behalf-of-another? You want to look into my mind and see a fascination with broken fingers? Who said that?

"You did this to yourself," he informed the alien conversationally, not caring that it wouldn't be able to understand him. "It's insulting really." He switched to the other side of the hand and bent the little finger outwards instead of back. "Don't you think you’ve insulted me?"

jesus christ i am so fucking hard 😳

Thank you all for your support of my project, your tag games, you interactions, fanarts, fanfiction, kudos, and love!! Creating stories gives me so much joy, and sharing them with a wider audience is all the merrier. Between all of my projects, I have received so many kind comments and fanmail that have really touched my heart; To hear how much my stories have inspired creativity within the community is humbling to the point of tears. I cannot overstate my gratitude to everyone here enough: Thank you, from the bottom of my heart 💛✨

Now, sappiness aside: Enjoy the MANY kisses of Noah and Ali for yourself, and be sure to leave me kudos and a comment on AO3 and Tumblr telling me how you liked it! I’ll be on my mandatory 2 week writing break (to avoid burnout), but I’ll be around to answer asks and get your reactions 💛💫✨

As always, I will make all of my stories available for free on AO3, but if you want to support me further you can buy a digital copy of my books! ✨

Reblog this post to spread the word of YWIMC’s Release, and Happy Reading! 💫

Can I?

Can I be angry, just for a little moment? Can I scream and weep and laugh, just for a little bit? Can I let this mask fall off and this heart hurt, just for once?

I have been good for so very long. I wear my best clothes and my best face and my best words in a cloak around me, not one hair out of place. I sleep later than I would like, to fit in, and talk more than I would like, to stand out. I practise expressions in the mirror, just in case I need to switch them quickly. I try my best to be a good human.

These days, nobody notices. They call me ‘empathetic’. They say I am ‘receptive’ and ‘a lovely person to be around’. They like me, because my mask is sealed on tight and my patter is well-rehearsed. It gives me a measure of pride to have gotten a good grade in personhood, to be, by extension, a good person.

This was not always the case, however. I used to laugh when they yelled at me, cried when they cheered. I shied away from human touch, clawed at my flesh like a feral cat when afraid, acted in ways a proper human should not behave. I lived in the depths of the uncanny valley, trying and failing to climb out. 

They disdained me for it, derided me for it, despised me for it. To them, I was an alien, foreign, untrustworthy and hostile. To them, I was a robot, good for my funny little facts and clever tricks but hardly worth treating as a person, let alone a friend. To them, I was not human, not one of their people, not worthy of being amongst them.

So I lied. I painted a mask of jokes and trivia and all the things that made a person likeable. I learnt to smile through the pain of ‘fun’, of parties and events and all other forms of torture. I emoted and empathised and endured until I was a good person and I no longer wished to be.

They say humans are a social species. They say no man is an island. I say: what does that make me? Does it make me broken, a failure of a person? Does it make me evil, an antisocial psychopath? Does it make me an alien or robot, just like they said I was? 

What am I, once you peel off the mask and the lies and everything that makes me ‘human’?

I do not want to be an alien. I do not want to be a robot. I do not want to be ‘human’, if it means dancing to a tune I cannot understand and laughing at jokes I do not comprehend. I want to be me.

Can I?
