Six Sentence Sunday

Thank you to @onthewaytosomewhere, @kiwiana-writes, @orchidscript, @suseagull04 and @sophie1973 for the tags today! When I realized I had nothing to share, it actually helped me get started on my next WIP idea! So smooches to all of you for that!😘

This is based on a song from one of my favourite bands called elevator love letter:

Henry’s office is on the twelfth floor of a skyscraper in Canary Wharf. There’s plenty of other offices, plenty of other people, plenty of other lost souls just like him who all make their way here every single day. Day in, day out; commute to and from the building, ride up and down the elevators. Every single bloody day. The routine is, to be frank, exhausting. And that doesn’t even include the actual work of it all.

Tag list under the cut for any friends who would care to share on this November day!

Six(ish) Sentence Sunday

*taps mic, leans in carefully* This thing on?

(Thanks to @onthewaytosomewhere for the tag!)

So… yeah. It's been a minute, huh? I didn't write anything for literal months, and then I dragged my muse back kicking and screaming via Kinktober which I wrote and posted on the fly so never really had any WIPs to speak of, and now I guess it's time to actually take a peek under the hood of my neglected writing folder. FOR EXAMPLE, the Big Secret Collab with @indestructibleheart that I decided to add some Big Fucking Feelings to this week. I am so hype for this fic and for us to actually start letting you in on what we're doing, y'all have no idea.

For Henry, religion has always been intrinsically intertwined with appearance and duty. Religion in his family meant uncomfortable suits and the flash of camera bulbs, just to sit through a service that held no more spiritual significance than the assemblies back at Eton.  It’s different for Alex, he knows. Alex can go a year without ever stepping foot inside a church and not think twice about it, but as soon as he does, there’s a peaceful slump to the set of his shoulders as though he’s literally setting his burdens down at the door. Henry has heard Alex refer to himself as “extremely fucking Catholic, which to be clear, is not the same thing as being a good Catholic” on multiple occasions, usually in the midst of a rant about a company applying the Twelve Days of Christmas to the wrong dates or a misunderstanding of what the Immaculate Conception refers to. Alex’s Catholicism is wound into his DNA, one of the many strands that have made him the wonderful man that he is.  Until now, though, Henry doesn’t think he’s ever realised just how much of that is very specifically Diaz.

Tags below the cut, and you may notice I'm paring this list WAY back from what it used to be. Please keep tagging me in your snippets, I love seeing them! But the whole thing was feeling very rat race-y which was a not-insignificant contributor to my writing burnout, and I'm trying to take the pressure off myself a bit by not constantly stressing over whether I've left someone out.

Stitches and Sentences

Happy Sunday all! I am off to my private school's open house today to sing the praises of our freshman English program so prospective parents will continue to pay my salary. Given the early hour, here is an early post.

I made lots of progress on my army of Baz bodies this week, but I can't preview most of what I am doing because several of the dolls are inspired by currently unpublished chapters of ongoing fics or in-progress art.

I can share Bubble Baz, inspired by my own fic. Annie beat me to creating a version of Baz in his hoodie (I love him!). Below is my version of Bubble Baz, cozy and in the felt! More pics here.

Although at this point I have made 28 dolls (and counting), I've kept very few them---just Shep and Penny (pictured above). A significant part of the joy of doll-making for me is gifting them to fandom friends. With that said, I didn't realize what a cool feeling it is to see your character embodied and be able to keep him! I love Bubble Bazzy so much already. He slept on my pillow last night.

In fic land, I struggled to find a snip of The Boy Next Door that I could post this week that wouldn't contain major spoilers given how Chapter 6 ended. I think I managed it by redacting some of the text. Simon POV below the cut.

SIMON Baz: [redacted] I re-read Baz’s text several times. Words always go a bit fuzzy for me, but this is unprecedented. After all, it’s not like letters generally rearrange themselves into blatant contradictions just for a lark. My head is swimming with questions. I ring Baz immediately.  “What the fuck, Baz? Is this a joke?” I demand.

Hellos and high-fives from the doll factory!

s.s.s. drabbles ~ Playful #1

MAIN MASTERLIST

Character(s) / Pairing: Obi-Wan Kenobi x Reader

Word Count: 81ish

Notes: This is is for @mostly-marvel-musings six sentence sunday challenge! Hope you enjoy!

Grunting, you swung your lightsabers at the oncoming troops.

“Incoming carriers!” A clone announced as you continued the fight.

“You know,” Obi-Wan’s smirk could be heard over the comms, “I really believe you continue to want to be saved.”

“Oh, you know me, Kenobi, can’t do anything without my knight in shining armor,” you replied.

“I’m honored, though it would be easier if you would just ask me to come along.”

“Last time I checked, the call for help was asking.”

Sketch Sunday! It’s been a while since I posted a WIP. But for now it’s all I have. So here three snowbaz, one wolfstar. Autumn inspires me. I love autumn. Thanks for today’s tag and previous ones to @cutestkilla @orange-peony @monbons @aristocratic-otter @artsyunderstudy @blackberrysummerblog @alexalexinii @noblecorgi @emeryhall your creativity always inspires my soul. 💚💜

[emeryhall]

Thank you @monbons, @rimeswithpurple, @run-for-chamo-miles, and @roomwithanopenfire for the tags! I'm so excited to see pieces of everybody's fest fics. And here are way more than six sentences from my super secret CORB collab.

I place my hand on the bottom of the metal pitcher while I steam the half-and-half so that I can gauge the temperature, and as the espresso dribbles away for his pumpkin mocha breve, I pick up a paper cup and write babe on the side.  It’s only when I’m sprinkling cocoa over the foam that I catch what I’ve done.  “Fuck!”  I scribble out abe and write az, so that the cup reads baz. Only, that’s not right either. I know skinny jeans’ name. I pretend like I don’t and I ask him every time and he always says, “Basil.” Not Baz. Not like I’m on nickname terms with Basil. I scribble out az and write asil.  “Did you forget the alphabet, Snow?”  I scribble out asil and write ite me after the b.  “Not at all,” I say and hand the coffee over.  Baz—no, Basil—stares at all the scribbling, and I swear to Merlin—Merlin? what the fuck?—god, I swear to god his mouth parts and he runs his tongue over his incisors, like he’s actually thinking about biting me.

“He’s so hands-on and full of initiative, isn’t he?” Lujanne cooed, stroking Allen’s enormous biceps. “So strong and capable; don’t you just swoon?”

“Well, the swooniest boy in all the land is still standing, so I think it’s just you,” Rayla laughed.

“I do not swoon!” Callum protested.

“And yet, you instantly knew I was talking about you.”

“I swoon an extremely average amount!”

"Once per adventure, recently down from two?"

Excerpt from a S6 chapter of my S4-6 between-canon-episodes fic, Downtime’s Up (successor to my S1-3 between-canon-scenes fics Downtime in Wartime and Upside Downtime). I swear I'm TRYING to write the NEXT chapter, but... S6, man...

I’m in Omaha and made this today. It’s six sentences, right?

Shaving (Tony Stark Drabble)

This fic is apart of the Six Sentence Sundays that @mostly-marvel-musings invited me to join.

Hope you all enjoy!

Emotion: Determined

-------

Your tongue pokes slightly out of your mouth as you focus on shaving Tony's face while sitting on his lap, after having to bathe him due to the fact he came home all bruised and battered.

His hands hold you steady while he watches you through very tired eyes.

"Honey, let's just do this tomorrow," He softly says before continuing, "I'll be okay."

Tony sighs as he sees your face, knowing you're determined to take care of him any way you can right now and he can't help but smile at you.

"Tony, as much as I love you see you smile right now, I really need you to stop so I don't add on to your bruises and scars by cutting you."

He chuckles and pulls you down, kissing you softly before leaning his head back and letting you finish.

A small bit from chapter 12, which is 14 pages long. *drops and runs*

-----------------

Now that Kagome was alone in her room, she felt less at home than she ever had in her life. It was strange. Being in Inuyasha’s body shouldn’t have made a difference. But as she sat on the edge of her bed, she was assaulted with her own scent. It really was everywhere. ‘No wonder Inuyasha fell asleep on my bed so easily,’ she thought to herself, running her hand across the covers. ‘I never realized how relaxed he must have been. I feel…’

She inhaled at that moment and immediately regretted it. Her natural scent filled her head with a need for more. It was like a drug she couldn’t get enough of. Kagome flopped onto her stomach, pressing her nose into the covers as she inhaled again. She grabbed her pillow and rolled over, covering her face with the cushion. Each time she breathed in, she felt a wave of pleasure roll over her, making her repeat the action with more enthusiasm. 

It wasn’t until she let out a low moan that she snapped out of her daze. 

Kagome dropped the pillow to her side and sat up quickly. The funny feeling she’d gotten from sniffing her pillow hadn’t gone away. If anything, she was more aware that it remained as her gaze dropped to her lap, noticing the raised material of the hakama. She groaned, slumping in defeat.  She couldn’t run away from her penis no matter how much she wanted to in that moment.

‘It’s even worse than that time Inuyasha crawled in my lap! What am I gonna do?! Inuyasha’s not here. I can’t exactly go ask Mama for help this time…’ She slid off the bed and began to pace the room. ‘Okay. So…Inuyasha’s body really likes my natural scent. That’s…flattering? I think? But his body is reacting; does this…does this happen to him every time he comes in my room? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it stick up before. Just what kind of resolve does he have to keep it down?!’

Clearly she didn’t give the half-demon enough credit. He’d told her that it was natural, and she knew that, but she couldn’t focus on anything else to make the tightness in her loins go away. Her scent in her room was too strong. It kept taking her thoughts back to the morning he had straddled her and how good it’d felt.

"Don't…don't feel bad if you need to…take care of things, okay? I ain't gonna be mad at ya, or think any differently, Kagome."

She let out a whine and stomped her foot, frustrated. He had said that she could if she needed to. Inuyasha had given her the all-clear to get down and dirty with his body while she was in it. Kagome sighed, looking at the closed door. Just because he said so didn’t mean it was something she could do eagerly.

Six Sentence Sunday!

Glad to be back and glad to be writing again! The last few weeks have been draining and exhausting from life and I felt like I didn't even remember how to write.

Thank you to all of you wonderful friends who tagged me in all the writing games over the last couple weeks, I do really appreciate it! I should have the spoons now to write and participate and enjoy your snippets too!

Many thanks to @suseagull04, @onthewaytosomewhere and @cha-melodius for today's tags!

@flufftober is right around the corner and I'm excited to have some stuff to share!

Henry’s sky blue eyes lock in on him and Alex completely loses his breath. Somehow he is even more beautiful in person. Alex has no clue how it’s even possible, but he’s awestruck and he knows he’s staring.

Sparks fly. Every spark that exists in the universe has somehow converged onto this specific spot at this specific second, and he feels each one of them in every cell of his body. Nerve endings he didn’t even know he had were buzzing.

Open tag for anyone who wants to share (and I will definitely be checking out your snippet so please tag me!) and I apologize for my excessive tag list below the cut 😂

(Six) (Seven) Several Sentence Sunday

Hi everyone! Happy Sunday! Thank you for the tags today from @onthewaytosomewhere @sophie1973 @suseagull04 @thesleepyskipper @blueeyedgrlwrites ❤️

If you're still mourning Halloween being over or just need something really silly for a laugh, I posted my scare actor!Alex fic — If You Got It, Haunt It last week (ngl it was hard to write something short, and get back into the swing of writing things, but I did it!!)

And so! Here is a rough draft bit from my new multichap which will likely change in the edits, you know how it goes. If you've seen this already, no you haven't. 😌

"Who the fuck is that?" Nora asks. "That's Henry. My boyfriend." "That is not your boyfriend." "Yes, he is." "That is a stranger, Alex."

❤️

Probably the first time I actually stayed within in the six sentences!! (And shortest ones to date!)

No pressure tags under the cut (and open to anyone who wants to snag it, but tag me if you use it!!) I hope you're all doing well this Sunday!

“Calm yourself, mage,” Aaravos spoke from the shadows, emerging into the dim light a moment later.

Callum frowned, trying to figure out what was going on. He looked down, seeing his own body before him, marvelling at how his fingers responded to his will…

“Don’t get too excited,” Aaravos continued. “This is merely another prison.”

Getting to his feet, Callum glared at the imposing Startouch. “Where am I?!”

“Nowhere really.” Aaravos chuckled, circling Callum. “The dark recesses of your mind, shall we say.”

“Let me go.” Callum tried to reach out, to feel his connection to the Sky or the Ocean but all he found was endless darkness and nothing.

A wee snippet from an up-coming chapter of In Absentia.

Callum is showing up again!

… or is he?

Six(ish) Sentence Sunday

How the fuck is it this time of the week already? Today I'm sharing some Big Secret Collab words I actually wrote last week, because I've been pretty deep in the trenches on the Anastasia AU and also original novel writing this week… forgive me lmao.

(But while I have you, can I interest anyone in a (non-RWRB) trans!Cinderella?)

Oscar is silent for a long moment. When he speaks again, it’s uncharacteristically hesitant. “I don’t know if you know this, but when your emails were leaked, I found out from CNN.” Henry stares at him. He’s aware of the broad strokes of how Alex found out—woken in the night, Zahra dragging him into a room with his mother, ferried around various Presidential staffers for hours—but he’s never really thought about how everyone else learned about it. Never stopped to consider that while the rest of Alex’s family were in the White House when the news broke, Oscar was clear across the country. “No,” he finally says softly. “I didn’t know that.” “I was up late working.” He cocks an eyebrow, one that says: Alex doesn’t get all his workaholic tendencies from his mother, you know. “And out of nowhere, I just had this… this feeling. Like something was horribly wrong. Thought it was just my body telling me I’m too old to be working after midnight anymore, but then I picked up my phone, and it was alert after alert…” He trails off, but Henry doesn’t need him to complete the sentence. Some of those headlines are still burned into his retinas nearly five years later.

Thank you to @orange-peony @roomwithanopenfire and @thewholelemon for the tags! Remember when I said I wasn't going to write in July? LIES. Absolute lies. What I did instead was collaborate with @artsyunderstudy who's beta-ing and illustrating our fic that should be forthcoming next week ❤️ I'm so excited to share a snippet with you!

Later, sometime in the early morning before the sun rose, Simon woke up terrified from a dream. Baz’s eyes were black voids, his mouth full of white knives, and he was hungry. He was hungry and not next to Simon.  But just as Simon was digging around at the foot of the bed for Baz’s red and gold striped pajamas, Baz opened the door to the bedroom. His eyes were clear grey. His teeth fit in his mouth, and when he lay down beside Simon, he said he was full. When Simon thinks back to that night, sometimes he opens his hand and stares at his palm, wishing he could set it on top of the sun and push, shoving it back down below the horizon—shoving it into that void no cartographer ever drew—because the next morning was the last day he saw Baz.  Well, the last day, that is, until now.
