💕 for shirbert :))

I am going back to my roots and doing kind of an Inflection Point type deal here. "In Which the Porch Scene Still Ends Unhappily (But Also Actually Worse Somehow)", I guess. 😅 Please don't hate me!

(ask game can be found here)

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

For all that Anne could not claim any romantic experience—not any mutually romantic experience, at least—she knew what was coming.

A lot of it was hope. Hope she shouldn't be harboring, at that. She knew where she stood; she could never hope to compete with the young woman Gilbert had accompanied to the fair. It just wasn't possible.

And yet, the way Gilbert was looking at her said very differently. He was moving in, seeming very sure but giving her time to back away. Maybe he wasn't so sure. Maybe he was trying to find out.

If there's one thing worse than never knowing, it's going to be knowing and losing him anyway.

Anne leaned back just a little, putting her hand up in a clear signal for Gilbert to stop. Gilbert raised both of his hands to take it, but Anne refused to let it drop.

"Anne..."

Oh God, she should never have let their friendship get as close as it had. She could hear the plea in his voice, and it was going to break her resolve if she didn't end this here and now. "Gilbert, I—"

Anne had had every intention of being firm, but words deserted her entirely for a moment as Gilbert leaned in and pressed an entirely too tender kiss to her palm. He lowered their hands, and Anne was too stunned to do anything but let him. She could feel tears gathering and her throat tightened.

"Anne," Gilbert said gently, "please, say something. I thought..."

Neither of them could actually get the words out. If they couldn't do that, then what hope was there, anyway? "I can't, Gilbert. I can't and you can't and if you don't understand that, then..." Then what? There truly was no hope? Maybe he wasn't who Anne thought he was? Or maybe Anne wasn't who she thought she was?

In any event, it was going to be easier to weather the heartbreak if she did it now, she thought, pulling her hand from Gilbert's before getting up and fleeing inside.

She'd keep telling herself that until she could forget how he held onto her hand until the last possible second.

Maybe then, she'd be able to believe it.

🤎 for everlark (obviously lol)

Thanks for playing @unnamednarrator! Here is your Everlark snippet for 🤎 multiple kisses / kisses all over / kiss after kiss

Laying down by his side, I run my fingertips on his jaw, alongside the curve of his ear and on the edge of his lips… He winces when I pass by a spot right under one cheekbone.

“What is it?” I rise on my elbow to take a closer look. It is only then I notice the small cut on his face and the reddened skin around it. “Did you cut yourself shaving?”

“Yeah.”

“Does it hurt?” I ask. “Did it bleed a lot?”

“Not really,” says Peeta. “Just a drop maybe.”

I don’t bother explaining to him that him and blood do not mix well together in my head, no matter its quantity. But he cracks open an eye to see my expression. “Katniss,” he says softly, with an edge of amusement in his voice, “it is nothing.”

I sigh and place a kiss an inch apart from the cut. I feel the corner of his lips move under mine, forming a smile. “You are just giving me a reason to nick myself more often. You know that, right?”

“How about one kiss for the side with a cut on it,” I say. “And ten for the side without any?” I place a hand under his jaw and turn his head from side to side, examining it for other scars. Then, without waiting for an answer, I start placing kisses haphazardly. On his temple, on the side of his nose, finally on his lips…

“Yeah, I can live with that,” he whispers against my mouth.

Send me a heart and a ship for a little snippet! 🧚‍♀️

THG Trick or Treat 2024 👻

It's time to get out your candy bags, put on a costume, and get to dropping asks!

How it works: There are THG/TBOSAS bloggers who have put on their porch lights to let the fandom know they are ready to give out treats to those who come into their ask box!

For the trick or treaters: You can leave anything in the ask box. This can be a simple "trick or treat," a seasonal description, or a prompt or request. Please note that any prompt or request is optional for the responder to fulfill.

For the treat-givers: It's completely up to you what you give the trick or treater! It can be a seasonal photo, a joke, a song, a line from a WIP, a doodle, a recipe, a headcanon, a fic rec, a moodboard, a drabble or anything else you want to give.

Blogs who are taking trick or treaters are under the cut below (if you would like to be added or I missed you, please drop a reply and I will add you to the list).

10 First Lines

Rules: Share the first line of your last ten published works or as many as you are able and see if there are any patterns!

(I'm going by latest updated not by the last "published" dates because that's too much work to search through.)

Eventide (everlark): Peeta lunged forward on the decorative rug stretched out before him for what was probably the fifth time that night.

Da mi diebus mille (jamieclaire): Claire Beauchamp stretched her legs up the three steep steps towards the entrance of the plane.

She Moved Through the Fair (everlark): All around, dandelions that have gone to seed whip around us, dotting the edge of the landscape of waving green grass where train and prairie meet.

I would recognise you... (jamieclaire - also longer line since the first were straight up book quotes): “I was dead. Everything around me was a blinding white. And there was a soft rushing sound like the wings of angels. I felt peaceful. And bodiless. Free of terror. Free of rage. Filled with a quiet happiness.” A soft warmth brushed my hand.

Blood Pearl/Neamhnaid Fola (jamieclaire): Jamie played with the scratchy ruffles sewed to the cuffs of his sleeves, impatient.

Wild Rose (everlark): The blue sky stretches for miles, letting the heat sneak in and saturate the air with a clinginess that can only ever belong to the final long stretch of days of the summer season.

The Sassenach Faerie (jamieclaire): The sun had not yet peaked over the grey monoliths up on the hill.

Soup of Life (outlander fix-it): It was a veritable feast for a small creature such as him.

Chocolate, churros, princesses, and scarves (jamieclaire): “Claire, mo ghraidh, mo Sorcha, I love ye so verra much-” Jamie gulped, the bob of his throat catching Claire’s eyes. “Will ye-” 

roses love sunshine, violets love dew (everlark): In and out. In and out. The blond lashes steady me.

no one tagged me in this but i do feel like taking some hostages with me so if you fancy joining 🫶: @atelierlili @mollywog @thesweetnessofspring @rosegardeninwinter @thesunpersists @littlemarianah @unnamednarrator @notsocooljess @lara-frasers @liberalk1tsch @liusaidh-writing

Last thing googled: The correction of the test I took yesterday. It's a national exam for college admission... I did well as possible on 90 math questions.

Looking forward to: Vacation! I'm exhausted. I haven't had a break since December. Work is really killing me.

He’s getting frustrated now, throwing his arms up in defeat. "It’s not like that, Katniss." He sighs. "Knowing my favorite color is nice, but it’s trivial. Unimportant. But knowing I love you? It’s probably the only thing that I’m certain about. Loving you . . . it’s like it’s ingrained in me. No venom could ever change that, it’s just been competing with it for a while."

🥘 for the ask game! notice i chose the bowl of food bc i will be gobbling up ur answer

That's 'cause you are the best! Thanks for playing @unnamednarrator! 🥹❤️

🥘What wip are you most excited about?

Hmm.. let's think...

My Helene Relief story "Excess Baggage"! Here is a little snippet (which you've already read ❤️)

“Oh, so you were childhood sweethearts. That is so adorable.” “No, not really.” He shovels his risotto into his mouth. The dish is too expensive to be eaten this fast but if he slows down, he won’t have anything to do with his hands.

Other than that, probably this addition to You Know Where to Find Me! I love that universe so much and I am so excited to pay it another visit. 🧚🏻

Drop an emoji in my inbox for the fanfic writer ask game!

[thesunpersists]

❤️❤️❤️

🙊🦉

from this ask game! double whammy lol

🙊 your coworkers or classmates stumble across one of your fics, but don't know you're the author. do you fess up? or keep quiet?

this is too funny. i guess it really depends on the person. there are some co-workers id tell but i also love to lie for no reason (if it’s harmless) bc i am a gemini and no one can take that away from me

🦉is there another author that helped inspire you to write?

ooh love this! for novel authors i’m very inspired by:

suzanne collins — but of course. i think she’s a genius. i especially admire how convincingly she writes in a first person pov as it’s something i want to improve in my own writing

sally rooney — probably my fav author (who i was lucky enough to meet by chance in dublin!) her command of language and economy with her words is so admirable

elena ferrante — ive only read her in translation (i cannot imagine how impactful her voice must be in italian) but the quiet power of her characters is always something i look forward to when reading her work

ali smith — she’s one of the funniest authors i’ve ever read and even though she writes lit fic, her books are always so playful with language and the characters are so memorable

i take a lot of inspiration from all of these writers to give me pointers about how i want to write!

as for fanfic authors, i owe a lot of inspiration to the smart and funny @thesunpersists 💛 i also love the work that @liberalk1tsch & @skylightangels have been publishing recently! fic authors who have directly influenced my writing for ilyis include atetheredmind, nonemoreblack & ellembee on ao3 (i’m not sure if they’re on tumblr, lmk what their handles are if you know!)

thank you so much for playing, anon!
