[glasshouses-and-stones]

Anagram Game

My first time doing this! I got tagged by @the-golden-comet and @agirlandherquill, so I'm going to do it twice with two different works!

-

The first word was DESIRE

This is from my Connor/Mitch/Dylan ongoing story, the system's breaking down.

(my ao3 is linked in the pinned post on my blog.)

-

D: Dylan doesn’t even take the time to chirp him; he’s too busy yelling at Connor. 

E: Eventually, he lays a hand on Dylan's bicep.

S: "So, after he goes to work, you just...get in his bed?"

I: "I didn't know you didn't not like me," is what he gets out, and he doesn’t even think it makes sense to himself.

R: "Right now?"

E: Eventually, he questions, "Thought I said I didn't want to talk to you?"

-

The second was TREACHERY.

This is from my original work, Soup of the Day.

-

T: “This is Christian. He’s joining the team. Can you teach him some stuff about soccer?”

R: “Really?” Christian nodded and picked up his water to take a sip out of it. All the ice had melted. “Yep, really.”

E: Even Evan’s scowl directed at him from across the field couldn’t knock him off his pedestal.

A: Actually, he was so nervous that he felt he like he was about to shit himself, but he’d be fine. He was pretty sure, at least.

C: Christian’s laugh was swallowed by the sound of the nocturnal traffic.

H: “Huh,” Erick said. He leaned back in the booth. “Why aren’t you over there?”

E: Everyone was grouped around him arguing, and Christian thought a fight would’ve broken out if it wasn’t for the referee shoving the crowd apart. 

R: “Right,” he said gruffly.

Y: “You got this, Daddy!” Christian heard April scream from the stands.

-

This was really fun! It's your turn. Your word is REFUND.

No pressure tagging: @charlesjosephwrites, @floweryprosegarden, @zackprincebooks, @kedkd, @willowseed, @dyoniawrites, @chayscribbles, +open tag

Find the Words Tag

@kj-op tagged me to search my latest wip for the following words: Time, Down, Slowly, and Great. These are from a gay hockey romance novel I'm finishing up!

Time

Off the ice, James was possibly one of the nicest people Teddy knew. On the ice, though, his defence was nasty. He was fast and tough, but smart with his plays. He was willing and ready to defend any of his teammates who got a dirty hit and was not afraid to drop the gloves, even if he was one of the shortest players on the team. Each time James fought, Teddy watched with a nagging worry he might get seriously injured. He never did, though, and then Teddy would thump his stick in support as he either got escorted to the penalty box or off the ice.

Down

Sighing, Teddy changed into them. From the waist down he looked fine. But the two selected tops certainly did not go together. Looking at himself in the bathroom mirror, Teddy couldn’t help but laugh.

“Does it look good?” James called from the other room.

“No.”

“Perfect.”

Slowly

Shaking her head slowly, she turned her full gaze onto him. “Are Teddy and Eleanor alright?”

James barked out a laugh. “What?”

She narrowed her eyes slightly. “Don’t tell me you didn’t notice how tense they were earlier.”

He had, but he’d been trying not to think about it too much. He shrugged. “I guess. Teddy said they were both tired.”

“But he was fine at dinner with you,” she said, and it wasn’t even a question.

James shrugged again. “Yeah. I don’t know. Had time to rest?”

His mom shook her head. “He came straight here after ice cream.”

“I don’t know,” he sighed.

“And Eleanor seemed… quieter than usual last night.”

James frowned. “What are you getting at, Mom?”

She raised her eyebrows slightly. “Nothing. Just making observations. Wondering if things are okay for them.”

Great

James hummed and picked up one of his own shirts: a short-sleeved, magenta button-up with a black abstract design that reminded Teddy of public transit seats.

“Why do you even have that?”

James scoffed, looking genuinely offended. “Hey, with some shorts and sunglasses this is a great look in the summer.”

“Dude. You’re from Toronto, not Florida.”

James shrugged. “You’re just worried you won’t be able to pull it off.”

Now it was Teddy’s turn to scoff. “Oh, yeah, sure. That’s it.”

Tagging @make-me-imagine @lam-ila @katetheworm and @peachesandghosts to search for Wish, Hug, Over, and Little

[dickbaggins]

Shout out to me from ten years ago who wrote a gay hockey novel with the structure of caitlin kiernan’s daughter of hounds. Why did you think that complicated shit was a good idea? Her novel has time magic shit in it which makes that structure actually odious. What I’ve got here is a mess that might actually be good if I could chip through the complicated present to past back to present framework

[theassofwonder]

Oh!! 1, 2, 3 of the Fun meta asks for writers. I would love to know the answers to these questions

Fun meta asks for writers!

1. Tell us about your current project(s)

* ACOTS, obviously- I swear to fuck I’m almost done with part 6! I know I keep saying that but I really do mean it!! I broke 2k last night (this morning?) and I’m in the homestretch! I can see the end in sight (literally, since I wrote the end of the chapter before I wrote most of the middle)!! And then after part 6 there’s only like three more chapters. I started writing  ACOTS only a little over a year ago and I’m more than halfway through? Fuckin mindblowing.

* I started writing more of the we’re sick (like animals) verse because I love it and technically the beginning of what is published was supposed to be in the middle? But then it was going to be waaay too long so I cut the ‘beginning’ (but still have it in a google doc that I check in on)

(more under the cut bc I actually have a fair bit of wip babies)

* not hockey rpf but I started writing a Teen Wolf fanfic? Despite never watching the show? So my only reference for the fic has been other fanfics. lol. It’s called Scotty Doesn’t Know based on the song by the same name and it’s just a mess of half-written snippets that I’m going to have to glue together at some point

* I want to eventually get around to rewriting (and then finishing? maybe?) my two destiel fics Midnight Blue and Holy Ground. Fun fact- I started writing both of those on Wattpad before I found out about ao3 and every chapter title of HG is a taylor swift song. But they’re both currently up on ao3 if anyone wants to give em a look!

* I have several OG fiction novels I’m trying to write as well. the first one has the working title of Messier 30 (it’s a star cluster near the Capricorn constellation) and it’s supposed to be book 1 in a trilogy. The main character used to be named Charlene-call-me-Charlie Elizabeth Roman but I suddenly had a stroke of ACOTS-fueled need to make her half-russian and changed her name to Anastasyia Viktoriya. Her name/ethnicity change shouldn’t change the plotline itself but I guess we’ll see. the second work is set during a zombie apocalypse with flashbacks to the B.Z. (Before Zombies) era and the early days of the apocalypse. the main character’s mom accidentally created the virus and was Patient Zero so MC carries a fuckton of guilt and also she’s gay and her wife was one of the first ones to go since she was Mom’s second on the project

2. Tell us about what you’re most looking forward to writing

ACOTS: copied straight from the outline :) {The Russian word for uncle is ‘дядя’. It sounds almost identical to ‘dada’. Nikita calls him ‘дядя Sid’ one day and Sid just starts bawling, and then Nikita’s bawling because Sid is bawling and there’s so much tears and snot it’s so gross. Nikita is two years old and therefore has no idea that Sid is crying because he doesn’t just want to be Nikita’s “uncle” he wants to be his dad. It’s a good thing both Geno and Anna are old enough to understand. And reassure him that of course he’s also going to be Nikita’s father, what’s the point of him being with Geno and Anna if he’s not?? Sid admits that while he and Kathy didn’t officially break up in 2010 like the rumors said, they did take a break. Because Sid told Kathy that he was starting to have feelings for Geno. Even though he said it didn’t mean anything because he was with Kathy and he loved her and would never do anything to hurt her} and then everyone basically confesses their love for each other and there’s still a lot of crying but this time it’s happy!!

ALSO APPARENTLY I HAVE NINE CHAPTERS OUTLINED?? NOT TEN?? SO AFTER PART 6 IS DONE I’LL BE TWO-THIRDS DONE

WSLA: Sid and Geno getting together and sneaking around and not being subtle at all but everyone humors them anyway

SDK: this scene where Stiles’ dad tells him he knows he and Derek have been dating, which i made up for the specific context for this line: {“Look,” his dad says. “Scott may not have the sense God gave an ant but I haven’t been Sheriff this long just because of my dashing good looks.”}

MB: there’s a scene near the end where a character from Cas’ past comes in and shoots Cas and Mary knocks the shooter out with a cast iron frying pan and John has mega heart eyes and that’s where the reveal that Dean and Cas are married was supposed to happen

HG: I was kinda into crackfic when i started writing this so that’s why it’s like that in the beginning, but the scene i can’t wait for is heartbreaking and not in the fun way. I joke a lot about being super emotional but seriously. i cried during the outline for this scene. I love it so much.

3. What is that one scene that you’ve always wanted to write but can’t be arsed to write all of the set-up and context it would need?

well I guess the good thing is I almost always write The Scene first and then I have to write the setup and context. which still kinda sucks, but at least it’s more motivation to write all the other nonsense- and then sometimes I write something in the middle of all the nonsense that almost rivals The Scene?? and that’s my favorite part about writing.

Meet My WIP - White Hart City

White Hart City is a young adult urban fantasy novel about a group of teenagers who get very lost on a school field trip and stumble over a government plot to destroy their hometown of White Hart. Sure, the city is weird, but it’s not that weird - right? (It’s way, way weirder.) Full of gay shenanigans, even gayer emotions, high-speed chases, and the occasional slow dance.

Characters

h e l p

Fritz Ashworth - a senior in high school who also happens to be a Giant Nerd. Mathlete, geek, knits his own sweaters. The kind of person who wears slacks to school. He’s also on the varsity swim team and everyone is surprised when he realize he’s actually super strong. Anxious bean. Grew up (functionally) without a father and was separated from his sister Kaeja, who ran away to live with him, for several years when they were younger. Freakishly tall. Trans bicon.

Kaeja Ashworth - a junior in high school and absolutely terrifying. Has a knife collection. Nobody knows how she gets it past security all the time, but she does. Has not served as much detention as she should and should probably be in jail, actually, but she’s good at not getting caught. Has no friends except for her brother, who she treats like a kid even though he’s a year older. Lived with her shitty dad (then the police chief) for four years after running away from her mother’s home in seventh grade. Has no hobbies despite desperately needing one. Tall, but like...acceptably tall. Also a giant lesbian.

Ronnie del Bosque - a sophomore in high school who should be a junior, but she was held back a year for racking up too many detention hours. Has definitely smoked weed at some point, no word on if its a regular habit. Drinks a lot of smoothies. Has a huge crush on Fritz and keeps stealing his lunch money to buy fancy gel pens and nice paper to write him anonymous love letters. Her father is the mayor and kind of a local hero after he drove the old police chief out of town for being an Objectively Awful Person (details on how awful vary). Has a twin sister who is objectively a better person except when she Isn’t. Writes really good fanfiction. Peak Disaster Bisexual energies.

Taylor Blackburn - a senior in high school who has several close acquaintances but very few actual friends. Just as sporty as her brother - she’s on the swim team and the field hockey team. Can any would bench press her bf if she had one. Straight-A student, basically a perfect person unless you squint. Can, will, and has cried over seeing a cute dog and not being able to pet it.

Trevor Blackburn - a senior in high school and close friends with Fritz. Just as sport as his sister - on the swim team and the football team. Absolutely shredded. Cannot do math to save his life but can write a perfect essay in an hour. English majors hate him. His mom, Sina Keo, moved to the big city when he was a baby to find better work opportunities, but he sees her most weekends and over holidays. Trans dude.

Anthony Spurling - the token white dude. The oldest sophomore in high school by approximately two weeks (Ronnie is the Big Salty about it). Short, grouchy, aggressive. Nobody knows where he lives. Does he have parents? Probably. Weeb. Plays Call of Duty, Assassin’s Creed, and Gears of War a lot. Knows martial arts somehow??? Nobody has ever seen him lift a Single weight. Is failing PE but has As in every other class except history.

Midnight - a mysterious FBI agent who is probably helping. Where did she come from, where did she go? Where did she come from, fuck if I know.

Setting

White Hart City is not technically a city - it’s a town with an inflated sense of self-importance and an inordinate amount of Weird Shit going on. Nobody knows how the position of Mayor is chosen, but the occasional violent revolution means that whoever’s in charge usually does a good job. The Police Chief has too much power and somehow manages to use none of it. The court judges and the city congress are constantly trying to one-up the other. There is a single train station and Delilah, the girl who works there, actively discourages non-locals from getting off the train.

(I’m not saying there’s something in the cornfields, but -)

(it’s extremely difficult to kill the Mayor. Most victims of Violent Revolution were either old, or they fled to the Big City.)

The Big City doesn’t have a name, it’s just the Big City. People who go to the Big City don’t come back to town, at least not for long. There’s gangs. And feds.

There’s one exception though - the big field trip all the seniors get to go on, to see the Big City for a day before returning to White Hart. Small problem - this time, some underclassmen snuck along.

[10:54 PM EST] FROM: ELIAS | I live in the Theory Space apts #10220 [10:55 PM EST] FROM: ELIAS | In case you change your mind He shouldn't be in the Uber, leaving the hotel near the airport, to go downtown near the college and take an elevator up ten stories to an apartment where Elias Levithan was waiting. He shouldn't be doing it, but he'd given up so much in the pursuit of this dream. He just wanted one night where he didn't have to care about the stupid fucking Stark Cup, or what Captain Roux had to say about him, or how disappointed Coach Renee was in his performance and lack of teamwork, as if the rest of the team failing to include him was somehow his own fault. He just wanted one night where all he cared about were hands on his body, and lips on his skin and the absolute oblivion that came after he did. [11:31 PM EST] FROM: SASHA | I'm coming up the elevator [11:31 PM EST] FROM: ELIAS | Door is unlocked, let yourself in and come meet me in the bedroom He was sure as he walked down the hallway in this sleek, modern building definitely built for college students attending Syracuse University on their parents' dime, that this was going to be a trap. When he got into the apartment, he was going to find that there was a camera crew, or the entire Scorpions defensive line, and they were going to beat the shit out of him. They were going to expose him as some kind of queer freak who would follow anyone into bed if they offered, and then his career would be over before he'd even been able to make something of it.

When the final buzzer sounded, the final score showing two to six, it was loud and mean in Sasha's ears. They had lost their final game of the regular season, and there was no way they were making it into the playoffs, so their season was over. Whatever he'd hoped to achieve that year with this new team, whatever impression he had thought he could make with a fresh slate, it was over, it was all over. He skated back to the bench and grabbed his water bottle to angrily drink from it, taking off his helmet and running a gloved hand through his sweat-damp hair. The crowd was livid, too, still milling about as the opposing team, the winners, celebrated together, clusters of them on the ice, their ice. Even the goalie getting congratulations, which was fair considering he'd done a damn good job at keeping the puck out of their net. The Syracuse Scorpions were just better than them, and they had every right to celebrate, especially since they'd been underdogs themselves the entire season. He couldn't be angry, or he shouldn't be angry at the least. That's how the game worked.

Gay hocky novel!!

Gay! Hockey! Novel!!

He had poured himself into hockey, sacrificing friendships and hobbies, everything that wasn't the glide of skates against the ice and sweat dripping down his skin. If this ended, he wasn't sure what he was going to do, but that was a thought for later. Right now, he pushed Levithan away from him and ducked away to follow the puck back down the ice towards their goal, chasing the chance of getting the game back on track - and with it his life - even as the seconds ticked down.

Snippet from 911 Betting on Yuletide bucktommy

Vincent always answered with a sharp, militaristic “hello” regardless of who was calling, to the point that Tommy was sure he spoke to his mother in the same manner.   “Hey, Vincent, it’s Tommy. I got some bad news,” he said. “My pops broke his leg, and can’t run the family business, and I need to go home for a few weeks to help keep it afloat.”  Vincent let out a huff of disapproval but replied, “this is your family?”  “Yes, sir,” Tommy replied.   There was one thing that Vincent Gerrard respected more than anything, except the flow of money in and out of his business, and that was family loyalty.   “This is awful timing, Kinard,” Vincent said. “Our launch is supposed to be New Years Day.”  “I understand, sir. My town, it’s very Christmas-themed, it’s even called Yuletide, and the family bakery has been in town, keeping the town supplied with Christmas cookies since my great-grandfather was alive, so it’s the busiest time of the year, which I’m sure you understand! But as soon as Christmas is done, I’ll be able to fly out and help here to finish up with the launch.”
