its really funny to me that sora is pretty chill about naminé inserting herself into his memories . hes like :) whatever makes you happy naminé!
#elisey speaks#i mean theres a lot to think about based on soras reaction . like how he represses his feelings for the sake of others#its just a little funny#i think i remember a line like im not happy about that but its okay ^__^#i think it also raises the question that. even without organization 13 using her would naminé do all of that#and honestly? i think yes. naminé was so incredibly lonely#i can absolutely see her choosing to insert herself into somebodys memories out of her own will. even if its incredibly selfish#like how roxas desperately wishes it could have been him and not sora#like i think kairi and naminé should have a complicated relationship as self and not-self too#like nami tried to take kairis role in soras life and no one does anything with that? i think theres a lot of potential there#even when naminé had regrets and realized it wasnt right. idk i think naminé deserves to have lingering resentment.#she should contain multitudes#sorry i just rambled about somethkng complete different idk what happened

Hi GT,
Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I absolutely love the recs you've given (you've introduced me to tomione, and I love it!) and I was wondering if it's possible to give you some recs in return? There are some books and fics that definitely have dramione / got vibes, and I was wondering if I could share them with you!
So glad you've enjoyed them! Feel free to rec me anything you want. I've read most of the classic recs in terms of fic and adjacent content (Cruel Prince et al), but I'll try anything that's well-written. My tastes run towards weird and/or audaciously creative stuff, and I can forgive a lot of weaknesses in plot on the grounds of (1) ambition or (2) character work. My turnoffs are instalove, protagonists who can't fail, and most Y/A (I'm not a hater, I swear, I just need characters who can say "fuck" when their leg gets chopped off.)
I'm also a fan of weird and fucked-up dynamics.(Wuthering Heights was my favorite book for a while, and as a teenager I wrote an AU in which the book ends on a long sex scene where Heathcliff fucks Cathy's ghost and then immediately gets murdered by Catherine 2.) Obviously, I am very normal.
#greenteacup asks#my beef with Y/A is mostly expressed in a dissonance between tone and content#LOVE the content. dystopia fantasy horror sex and blood — awesome. but question. why are they all saying 'darn'?#like in the vampire diaries where they'll watch people get eaten and then 2 episodes later be like 'omg SCHOOL DANCE'#(EDIT: actually in fairness. on the vampire diaries. it was mostly just caroline that did that. unfair example my apologies)#& i distinguish this critique from a common bitch-and-moan complaint about tv shows being interested in 'girly' things#like relationships and social standing. that is not my complaint. that shit is delicious. i will chomp that shit for days#my issue is that when the stakes oscillate wildly from episode to episode and i can't tell what the main thing is#like sorry. a story with murder in it is always going to be about murder. you can't make it not about murder#unfortunately! many have tried.#and in general i have difficulty reading about teenagers bc—#(she says having written 600k words about them OKAY I KNOW. i contain multitudes.)#because they're either mini-adults (preferred flavor. jude in the cruel prince nails this) or like leetol babies to me#and unless it's something like the hunger games where the Leetol Baby thing is part of the story#i'm like. hang on. you're 12 what are you doing here#percy jackson was hard for me to re-read as an adult for this reason#which is why they're enjoyable for teenagers! because as a teenager you DO feel like an adult#and you like reading books that treat you like one! nothing wrong with that! healthy even!#only then you get past the teenage years (mashallah) and you get stuff like twilight#where of COURSE bella doesn't think twice about 117 year old man falling in love with her#because he looks like a rich mysterious 17-year-old hottie#but you reread it later and it's like um well. that. could be explored a little more maybe.#i'm not even necessarily opposed to it. candidly. still team edward. i just think the dynamic should be more fucked up and juicy.#which Y/A authors are often reluctant to do. like. COWARDS! face the nasty consequences of your narrative decisions!#anyhow. you didn't ask for any of this. please give me your recs lovely person you seem very nice.

‘Steve,’ said Temple suddenly, the thought of food in the immediate future possibly giving him the idea.
‘Yes?’ she said, with a curious smile.
‘I was wondering if, er, you . . .’ He broke off. For perhaps the first time Paul Temple knew what it meant when he used the word ‘bashful’ in one of his novels.
‘Well?’ prompted Steve.
‘If you’d—er—care to have dinner with me on … on Thursday?’ he said.
‘Thursday? Yes, of course,’ she said happily. ‘I’d love to.’
'Good. I shall be in town, so perhaps we can . . . er . . . lunch together, too?’
‘Yes,’ she smiled. ‘Why not?’
‘We might even manage to have tea together, as a sort of, er—
‘I’d love to,’ she replied softly.
‘Oh, er, splendid,’ he said. ‘Well, that’s about all. Of course, there is breakfast, but—’
‘I always have breakfast in bed.’
‘In bed?’
‘Yes, in bed.’
‘Well, that’s a bit awkward!’
‘Of course,’ put in Steve a trifle glibly, ‘we could get married.’
‘Yes, I suppose we—’ Temple suddenly gasped. ‘I say... are you proposing?’
‘What do you think, Mr. Temple?’ she asked brightly, in a voice that was a perfect imitation of his. ‘What do you think?’
--Francis Durbridge, Send For Paul Temple (1938)
#Paul Temple#Send for Paul Temple#are these mysteries great crime fiction? LOL no#Does their repetitiveness and familiarity draw me in? absolutely#Is Paul and Steve's relationship absolutely delightful and basically the one thing that makes it worth it? also yes#we don't get good married couples playing as teams without cheating or jealousies because Durbridge just did it all and did it first :P#also you know Steve sometimes is the damsel in distress sometimes she needs no man#She gets kidnapped as much as she foils plans of kidnapping her#she contains multitudes#perfectly balanced as all things should be etc etc

Small drawing collection of my latest creation Emran as a teenager/freshly minted Air Acolyte, for my dear partner in unhinged OC shenanigans @katkastrofa, as promised <3
#my art#artists on tumblr#the legend of korra#original character#I need to figure out a way to tag these guys#like with renny and dori I just put sotrl in front of their names and that works#but emran is technically an LaF character. though not uniquely tied to that verse. and idk what to do with Ila and Alasie#maybe I need to have some unique oc tag or smth. I’ll figure it out#if you’re wondering why I stayed up until half past 7 a.m to draw this it’s because I needed some way to cool down#after the kuviren smut absolutely broke my brain#and what better way to do that than by drawing my sweet baby boy?#yes lmao he went from baby girl to baby boy in like 24 hours. fucking sue me#but actually. actually!! they’re both. they contain multitudes :)#they probably haven’t even realised that at this point and are still in disguise#convinced that she’ll be punished for her deceit if anyone found out that she’s actually a girl#(okay off topic but the switching pronouns are really fun lmao)#but give them time. they’ll figure it out soon enough. in these pieces they’re slowly getting used to temple life#and that is the first step to self acceptance#I’m actually extremely proud of these. especially the one with the apple basket. I feel like the androgynous vibes are really there#and he looks like his brother the most in it#but the others are fun too. I loved doing the portrait. I should do them more often#and.. I will admit. I traced the lemur. I can barely draw people okay how do you expect me to draw animals#but I just think that Aiza would really love a little lemur friend#animals don’t judge and she doesn’t have to watch herself around them. she can just be. plus the lemurs are really cute <3#I want to eventually do a companion to this with Aiza instead. maybe from back before she ran away#probably something based on reflection from Mulan too bc the vibes are there. though.. to be completely honest#I’d say they have a lot more of Shurochka Azarova’s vibes than Mulan. but that’s just my love for Soviet cinema taking over#it’s essentially if mulan fought napoleon instead. and when discovered instead of left to die they promoted her to lieutenant 😁#I realise the comparison is completely incomprehensible to everyone but me but.. go watch the hussar ballad. it’s free on YouTube with subs#okay enough rambling. i shall now go to bed. @ Kat I hope this brightens up your morning at least somewhat. I love you!!

#I've had so much homework I'm just now watching last friday's episode :')#the way home hallmark#earl crow ramblings#cyrus nightmares!! we love to see it!!#jacob having nightmares and then there's kat who's having the time of her life#that flick of a half smile jacob has when lewis greeted him at lingermore is just. so relatable#and also aughhhhhh#as much as I don't care for evelyn she and also lingermore are such a vibe#“the children don't seem scared of the white witch she seems to be protecting them” they could lean so deep into the uncanniness#of this town#hey lewis why did you say produce like that#that wide shot of del on one side of the pool and colton on the other and waterloo playing in the background is just. omw. VIBES#and no wonder colton was down bad for her she's gorgeous she has this like…elegance#“what do you think of them colton” I felt the knife edge on that#“of course yeah it's copacetic” that whole bit was so funny#“welcome to lingermore” ouugghhhhh#though idk cyrus doesn't seem as ominous as I wish he were. there's just something about him that makes me go ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#it's a shame#I CONTAIN MULTITUDES#waittttttt boats remember the boat (old) colton fixed up in season one#alice being like ohhhh. oh I'm here for you o.o#young del on the dock had no idea that one day she'd have a son who'd accidentally fall into a pond that brings him back to 1790#where he grows up and is later captured and tortured before he returns shattered to the present again#you get what I'm saying?? she had NO idea—neither of them did—and that makes me kinda wild#elliot. elliot your 100 year old oak wood floors.#2025?? did not expect them to be so current#alice is all dressed up and looks nice and noah is just?? wearing a very mid jacket??#I think noah should end up with max mostly so alice can find someone better okay that's my hot take of the episode

you have to describe hny but u cannot mention or allude to worst toxic guy ever x innocent uwu girl trope and/or the super girlboss x pathetic guy she puts in his place dynamic or else the anvil will drop on your head
#im so tired r we even reading the same thing#claude txt#man idk why but its like most ppl cant comprehend a m/f ship without falling into ALPHA male or GIRLBOSS yk#which is so ???? Because like. hny is also abt societys gender roles and stuff…and like imo satoko and shinpei dont fit into it#which is (insane) so relatable actually the way satoko isnt “woman” enough because she wants to play outdoors and is decisive with goals#and shinpei isnt “man” enough with the way he listens to satoko and yk he doesnt mind wearing make up and he talks abt feelings so bluntly#like yk. im a girl. but not “girl” enough using what my fam/society thinks it should be#but also im not “boy” enough even when i say ohhh i would do so well as a seasian boy#so lol. im genderquer#anyway i think satoko and shinpei have unlocked gender dlc and when theyre tgt gender or societal expectations dont matter#they r not boy and girl they r just shinpei & satoko yk yk yk yk#anyway satoko and shinpei both contain multitudes

Some of your posts have me wondering about “kaylor divorce”… in your mind, what went down? Like, I think all I know is Karlie didn’t show up for T in 2016… “not a twin from your dreams, she’s a crook who was caught”… 🤔
i don't know!!! we may never know!! but they had an undefined something going on at some point or various points and a subsequent toxic gay divorce and that's all that matters!!!!
#i think there was actually a break then reconciliation then full divorce#just based on the text. it sounds like she let her back in against her better judgement#and got burned#but the specifics will probably always elude us#and honestly so they should. that's none of my business#she says on kaylor dot tumblr dot com. whatever. this blog contains multitudes (hypocrisy)

misty and diane being both incredibly competent but that leading them into the trap of condescension to others and/or the belief they know the other person's abilities better than they do.
nyx hates his boss because: I CANT WALK TODAY FUCK YOU MEAN GET UP?
#note diane isn't like. an asshole she just#believes that her superior position and the work she has done to get it make her an unchallengeable figure#her word is literally law do what she says#its funny bc she can't push nyx too hard or they're giving her radiation poisoning#misty doesnt' do that bc she doesn't have as much sway but she's definitely the kinda person#to eat their lunch out of the fridge sometimes#like on the one hand. she is being workplace bullied by those ABOVE HER#but she takes her frustration out on those below (or that she perceives as weaker in some way)#i also like to imagine her as high maintenance like the sims trait. i played her once and she hated the sun instantly. the fucking sun#all this to say she contains multitudes and bitches better start recognizing her capability to be wrong/mean/contradictory--#--and treat it like a feature not a bug. respect for misty in the fact they should be meaner.#thank you for coming to my ted talk

You can dislike a ship without thinking it's cringe/wrong/should die/bad, etc. You don't need to think something is "problematic" to dislike it. People have preferences, and are allowed to just not like things, or not want to interact with something. (Especially if that ship has a lot of discourse/drama. Some people just want to avoid the drama!) Simply not writing a ship does not mean you dislike it. It only means you haven't written for it. Maybe you don't have any feelings about it at all, it doesn't interest you. Maybe you just don't feel confident writing that character. You can enjoy a ship without it meaning you hate any other pairing. (Multishipping!) Not everyone has OTPs. Writing a ship does not mean you are attacking anyone who doesn't enjoy that ship. It just means you're enjoying your blorbos. Good! Creativity is fun! Rarepair fandom is small. Hits are few, kudos are few. We need to support each other with all of our tiny ships.
#I'm really tired of people who don't understand you can like many things and dislike many things#just because you write a character one way doesn't mean that's the only way you like that char#look what i've done to erland#my handsome boy. my lad. i've made him a lover i've made him a jerk i've made him sweet and gentle and i've made him a villain#he contains multitudes#transformative stories should be transformative#have fun go nuts#also if a female character canonically says she prefers women maybe do not harass people who don't ship her with men#xo

Do you listen to any music that isn't depressing?
excuse me i wrote an entire (short but still) fic to t swift's lover album on repeat for the vibes it provided.
but also, i mean...probably not tbh with you. i've just always gone towards a certain genre of music like everyone does, you know?
#besos!#anonymous#i'm not saying it doesn't confuse my poor husband either#but outside of exercising i'm probably listening to something tragic#it be what it be#it's like when everyone is posting what their first concert was and it's all boybands and good times#and i'm like ahhh yeah my high school bf took me to see a perfect circle#and i'm not saying the lead singer of the band that opened for them caused a bisexual panic right there in the auditorium#but i am saying she absolutely did#that's off topic#what i mean is#that i wore tool and nirvana band shirts as a teen#but also wore a carebear hoodie#so i contain multitudes#and definitely should have kept that carebear hoodie longer than i kept the bf let's be real

Character decision I'm making for Elowen: she does not particularly care for Astarion, or at least she has no patience for his bullshit.
#she'll almost certainly grow to care about him along the journey. but at the start? she does not like him much at all lmao#which is a fun difference from. Literally All My Other Characters.#well. i should clarify. lunarae found him insufferable at times. but also fun and hot. lunarae contains multitudes.#robin plays bg3

HONEYS IT GIRL MAGAZINE may edition⋆.ೃ࿔*:・🎀
welcome back to honeys it girl magazine, this is the may catalog. get ready for the inside scoop on data that i've collected, things i've learned/started doing, and just general info like that organized in kind of a teen-magazine inspired fashion. a magazine for it girls ✨ and now please enjoy, the it girl magazine.
FOR THE WELLNESS GIRLIES ;
this month i discovered ballerina tea! and if u dont know what ballerina tea is, im going to put you on bcuz thats the whole point of the it girls magazine. the key ingredients in ballerina tea is senna and chinese mallow.
so essentially ballerina tea contains herbs that some cultures have traditionally used for a long time. its marketed as a weight loss tea but thats not all true. ballerina tea has a laxative effect and is really good for DETOXIFICATION and translate into lost weight in the form of water and stools.
while we are on the topic of consumption this is your reminder to eat ur fresh fruits and veggies! lets talk about ways to incorporate more fresh foods into our everyday diet.
if u like to snack, make fruits and vegetables more accessible for you. by prepping snacks before the cravings start, your snacking smarter.
start making smoothies or açai bowls as a rly yummy and easy way of getting fresh fruits daily.
make tasty veggie platters with home made sauces as a way to get in vegetables, or find a way to incorporate veggies into ur favorite recipes.
something that i did recently that has improved the quality of my diet is simply making some foods from scratch. for example i had a huge craving for fries, so i made home made fries and i can guarantee its 10X better then the processed fries that i would've gotten.
THE SCRAMBLE FOR SUMMER PLANS ;
school is FINALLY done. we are free to enjoy our hot girl summers! but now that school is done i find myself faced with the "now what?" question. no but seriously now what? no one wants to have a wasted summer, and ik u dont either so make sure to live up ur summer!
i did not take my own advice and i did not make preparations in advance for my summer so as of writing this post i have no plans, so im scrambling to make plans with my friends and set things up for myself. im planning out things like girls trips to the city, shopping trips, parties, dinners etc etc. and ofc manifesting for the vacation that i deserve.
HONEYS BEAUTY CORNER ;
SUPER EASY TANNING ROUTINE - tanning is one of the most important parts of summer! to start ur tanning routine, first things first set up a tanning playlist. my tanning playlist consists of songs like espresso by sabrina carpenter, nasty by tinashe, and turn it up by pink pantheress.
next apply some SPF to protect ur skin from the hot sun and apply some tanning oil if u have it. something else important to remember when tanning is to cooldown after tanning so keep some aloe vera gel on hand to avoid burning. we wanna TAN not burn.
tan the front then the back (each in 10 minute intervals) by the time ur done each side should tan for about 20 minutes each. so it'd be something like (front - 10 minutes, back - 10 minutes, front - 10 minutes, back - 10 minutes)
afterwards COOL DOWN with some swimming, some aloe vera, have a tasty mocktail/cocktail, apply some tanning oil and repeat the process one more time.
SMELLING LIKE THE BEACH - if u wanna smell like the beach, go to the beach. but if u wanna have the same effect i recommend the following products : the watermelon and coconut scented tree hut scrubs. the maui hair products. cabana girl body wash from philosophy. the bum bum body scrub. sol de janeiro rio radiance. ;
DIONNE FROM CLUELESS - STYLE DISSECTION ;
dionne is my absolute favorite character in the clueless movie and show for a MULTITUDE of different reasons. she is the embodiment of black femininity, girlyness, and she just exudes the lavish energy that we all know and love!
lets start off by talking about the way that dionne styles her hair. dionne's hair is so healthy, bouncy and absolutely GORGEOUS. she frequently styles her hair with things like headbands and clips. i've seen her in lots of different hairstyles and she always EATS.
dionne isnt particularly drawn to one specific color, the colors that she wears ranges depending on her outfit but everything is so well put together. one of dionne's most ICONIC looks is her unforgettable burgundy velvet dress with some white detaling.

FANGTASIA. send in a character from my guide + one of the prompts below for a drabble!
how about... "you shouldn't have touched them. every single mark on their body is going to be returned to yours." wiiith our mans eric northman!
please, thank you, love youuu!!! 🩵🩵
𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗟 𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗𝗡'𝗧 𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗗 𝗠𝗘 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/24afe4ac361861f8b577a8776e8f2cd1/80273b48cd58637e-63/s540x810/43637d964cc29f883c591051b106996a14b059c1.jpg)
eric northman x fem!reader
summary: 1.3k
You’d had vampire blood. Pam and Chow had been gracious enough to offer you their wrists months after you’d started working at Fangtasia, a safety precaution as they’d claimed. You'd had Eric's blood. He could feel your fear, he knew where you were, why wasn't he coming?
or the one where eric saves you from an anti-vampire rights enthusiast.
warnings: canon-typical violence, blood, death, kidnapping, stabbing
a/n: i know i said drabbles but i couldn't contain myself. i am violently ill with my love for this man.
masterlist | taglist
You think you're dying. surely. There's no way the human body would be able to endure this much pain without ultimately giving up the ghost, right?
You never should have gotten involved with vampires. They were nothing but a bucket of trouble, as your mother would have put it. And has she had put it, a multitude of times, before she'd ever even known you'd applied to work at Shreveport's resident vampire bar.
What she didn't know, though, was how incredible they could be. How, even without all their supernatural abilities, intensely good they could be when they decided they wanted. How loyal and caring and kind when they chose to do so. Just how beautiful they could be, fangs and all.
‘Course, there still was that whole bucket of trouble thing.
"You sure are pretty for a fangbanger," your captor drawled from where he was watching you from across the room. He'd tied you to a chair at the center of it, thick scratchy ropes binding your wrists to the unlaquered wood beneath you. You spit, knowing that it won't reach the man from this distance, but hoping, almost willing it to hit him squarely between the eyes.
��Fuck you,” you say.
“Ooh,” he whistles. “You’ve sure got a mouth on you, sweet cheeks. Why waste it on one of those dead fuckers when you could have someone with an actual, bleeding fucking heart?”
“You’re a waste of skin, you piece of shit,” you huff. Not that it was any of his goddamn business, anyway, but you had only ever slept with one man, and it sure as shit hadn’t been one of your bosses.
“Aw, c’mon. I bet you get so cold after one of them vampers is inside you, don’t you. All icy and chilly like. Let me give you a little tip, sweetheart. Humans. Need. Warmth.”
“You say that as if you aren’t a fucking sad sack,” you say. “What a sorry excuse for a human, huh?”
“What’d they do to you, huh, girl? Did they glamor you into only wanting a dead man’s dick?” he asks, slowly shifting and standing from his stool so that he could approach you. Despite their constant–and half-hearted–threats, you’d never been glamored by your vampire coworkers. Your breathing shakes as he approaches in swift steps. It’s then that you see the knife in his hand.
For the first time in a long time, you realize, genuine fear strikes through you.
“I’m gonna teach those vampers a lesson,” he says. “And you’re going to help me do that.”
You’d had vampire blood. Pam and Chow had been gracious enough to offer you their wrists months after you’d started working at Fangtasia, a safety precaution as they’d claimed. You'd had Eric's blood. He could feel your fear, he knew where you were, why wasn't he coming?
The knife trails along your collarbone. You're glad it was as dull as it was, knowing if it'd been sharper it would be slicing the skin open in its path down. Then he presses down harder. You can’t muffle the whine as it escapes you, no matter how much you want to. No matter how desperately you wish to not show the man that he holds any power over you. You can feel the blood seeping out of the wound. It dribbles down your chest in a thick stream as it pools and stains the gray cotton of your t-shirt.
“Stop!” you plead. He chuckles before driving the blade deeper into you. With feeble force, you try to get him off with a stunted kick to his knee; It was all you could manage with the way your knees had been duct-taped together.
“Bitch!” he heaves before rearing back to slap you with the bladeless hand. It slashes your cheek, shallowly, thankfully, but you can feel the ache of where his hand had connected with your cheekbone. “You’re gonna regret that.”
He takes the knife and stabs it into your side, just narrowly missing your ribcage.
Before you can manage out even a wince, the door to the small shack you’d been held in for the last few hours splinters and it unceremoniously removed from its hinges.
Eric says nothing as he rushes in. You barely register that it’s him save for the split second image you’d captured from where he’d lingered in the doorway. Your captor is off of you instantly, though you’re still bound to the chair. Eric stills. Wind warps around him as he does so, wrapping him in a flurry of movement as he stands with the man locked in his grasp.
“You never should have fucking touched her,” Eric growls with his fangs fully extended, grip tightening around the burly man’s neck and raising him inches off the ground. There’s not even a hint of the usual smirk you were so accustomed to seeing. “Every single mark on her body will be returned unto you tenfold.”
“She fucking deserved it,” he gargles as the vampire latches onto the expanse of neck not currently held within his hand. The man screams out in anguish and you pull your eyes tight to avoid watching any more. Of course, that doesn’t stop you from hearing. The screams and the rips and the crunches. You hear something hard and solid hit the floor and somewhere deep in the pit of your stomach you know it’s bone.
You hear the man gasp out a dead fuck only for Eric’s grasp to tighten fully, effectively severing the man’s skull from his spinal chord without detaching it from his body. The man drops to the floor with a loud thump and Eric shoves the corpse away with the toe of his shoe before he moves toward you.
“What took you so long?” you exhaled as he moved behind you to unbind your wrists.
“I was away on business,” he gruffs, spitting slightly to get the last of the man’s blood out of his mouth. He’d already drunk his fair share, you thought, what good what that do?
Swallowing, you ask, “And you still came?”
He walks back around to begin undoing the restraints on your legs. He’s being so gentle, you realize. If he’d wanted, he could have had this done within seconds and yet, here he was, tenderly undoing the tape and rope and rubbing a soothing hand over the abraded skin.
“I’ll always come for you,” he says. “Until I meet the true death, I will always come for you.”
He extends his wrist up to his mouth and you wince as he punctures the flesh.
“Eric,” you sigh.
“Drink,” he says.
Nodding, you allow him to bring his wrist to your mouth and latch down on the leaking wound. It’s tangy and metallic and overall pretty gross, but you’re more than grateful for it at that moment. You lick your lips when he pulls his arm back down, the small bite marks already well on their way to closing completely.
“Will you take me home?” you ask, suddenly overwhelmed with the wave of fatigue hitting you.
He rises back to his full height and extends a hand out towards you. The second you grab it, he’s pulling you up from your chair to hold you flush against his form. Then, in another rush of wind, you’re standing on your front porch.
Slowly, you pull away from the vampire to take a step towards your door. Your body aches, but it’s already mostly healed as you run a hand over the small incision at your waist.
“Thank you,” you say. “Eric.”
He’s silent, looking you over in a way that you can’t help but think is more than just an assessment of your injuries. He settles on your eyes when he says, “Anytime.”
