:((( I am sending many hugs, and on that note - how about hold/held for the wip guessing game? ❤️‍🩹

Thank YOU, my love!! 💛 I see you've been sharing some decent chunks of the collaborative ghostcat Howl's Moving Castle AU and I am about to dive headfirst into that temptation myself with one of my sections bc godddd it's SUCH a good AU I can't wait for everyone to read it!!

It was when he saw four more monstrous shapes bulge and bubble into life ahead of them that his panic truly set in. “It’s a dead end!” The stranger chuckled. He shored up his hold on Edwin’s elbow; and took his opposing hand for good measure, a brazen, self-possessed grip, as if he was about to sweep him up in a relaxed promenade. “Who ever said the only way out is through? Hold on.” And then he coiled and he sprang, and Edwin yelped as the leap carried the both of them quickly, effortlessly, impossibly over the rooftops.  Edwin felt his heart drop through his feet with a sickening lurch, then smack back against his ribs like a slingshot. He also felt, distantly, the grapple of a mycelial hand at his ankle, but he was carried quickly out of reach of its gnarled, rubbery fingers. It was rather hard to focus on the brief, unpleasant sensation when it felt like he’d left his entire skeleton about fifty feet below. “What on earth —!” he exclaimed, clinging to the only thing within reach — which just so happened to be the stranger’s bracing hand under his. “Don’t panic,” came the stranger’s cool, steady voice in his ear; loud and clear, despite being nary a whisper over the rushing wind. “Just walk with me.”

Send me a word and I'll reply with a sentence/paragraph/section from my WIPs that contains it! ^_^
