WIP Folder Game

TYSM @bfire92 & @bloody-bee-tea for tagging me!! sorry I'm a little late 😭 I've actually tried this ask game in the past, but it's been several months and at the rate I accumulate new wips, I have plenty to talk about lol. plus (ultra), I remember it being a lot of fun!

my mission for the week between Christmas and New Year's is to answer most if not all of the asks in my inbox and drag myself out of my writing depression by any means necessary :')

Rules: make a new post with the names of all the files in your wip folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Tag as many people as you have wips. People send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, then post a little snippet or tell them something about it!

in the interest of not posting another fifteen titles, I gave myself some self-imposed restrictions--nothing that was asked about last time, and no super au-ish stuff (so, no fantasy/Star Wars/role swap, etc). that leaves us with:

conquer my vertigo

do my best to get it right

hold on and feel i belong

like money on a bad bet

practice all your worst mistakes

start again from the beginning

take all the courage you have left

the world was figured out

time makes you bolder

(WIP) Music Monday Tag | Tagged by @simplegenius042

The rules: Post a song that is relevant to your WIP or inspires it. I’m also including the lyrics.

I don't need to know the odds that we survive I'll still hold you close like the sharp edge of the knife If you gotta go, put the blindfold on my eyes I'll hold on to hope, 'cause I love the way she lies Darling, I would risk it all for you Betting on a hand I was bound to lose Deal me in again 'cause it hasn't killed me yet Love can turn a red heart black and blue I'd still play the game if you asked me to Hoping for the best with a gun against my head

Sacrificed my innocence too young I'm numb Kiss the pink back in my lips, my love Check me for a pulse, baby, I'm dead inside Crawl under my skin and bring me back to life Speak to me in tonguеs, oh, mi amore I can hear the angels on the other side Baby, scream my name and bring me back to life Make my heart beat again Want me, save me Only you Can make my heart Beat again

You stay hanging over me like wisteria Always hanging in the air everywhere I go There's an ocean in between us I see you, though 'Cause it's you in the air that I breathe Coming over me with the waves from the sea I think I wanna be with you Believe in you To be free with you

Tagged by @inkysqueed whom I tag back, also tagging @babyblueetbaemonster @druidx @katastronoot @the-sunlit-earth @thequeenofthewinter and anyone who wants to be

Apparently it's been months since I did one of these? 😅 I haven't worked on much since tesfest tbh. But my creativity reignited last week. :D Especially for AUs for some reason.

So here's a snippet from the modern thiefguard AU:

            Garrus sighed tiredly. Papers sprawled across the floor around him, pieces of a puzzle that seemed to make less sense the more he tried to solve it.             As music started, he looked up, surprised gaze stopping on Lecrinn’s outstretched hand.             She smirked. “May I have this dance?”             His face fell into stern annoyance. “This is no time for goofing around.”             “We need clear heads to solve a crime,” her smile brightened, “so it’s the perfect time for goofing around!” When his expression didn’t change, hers shifted to match it. “My brain is basically stir-fry, I need a break, and so do you.”             His gaze dropped to the papers, exhausting to even look at. He looked back up with a nervous wince. “I’m not good at dancing.”             Her smile relit with a laugh. “Neither am I.”             He looked resigned but couldn’t stop a small smile as he took her hand.

Kiss Picrew Tag!

I was inspired by this amazing post by @mk-writes-stuff, and decided to make a few of my own with my WIPs characters! I'll go with Song of Thorns, Supernova Initiative, Of Starlight and Beasts and Enchanted Illusions because I had free time and hyperfocus lmao! Let's go!

By the way, if you like this, please reblog, it helps a lot 💕

Augustus & Harriet (Enchanted Illusions)

Aaah, my lovelies! Augustus, the book's resident necromancer, and Harriet, our lovely weirdo. They've got a little blood splashed onto their faces, probably as a result of a battle they've just won, but they don't mind (he is a necromancer and she has seen some stuff, why would they mind lmao?)

Renn & Roselyn (Song of Thorns)

They're adorable and I love them with all my heart, Your Honor, lmao. Renn is a half-vampire fey who was born a noble and became a thief due to unfortunate circumstances, and Roselyn is his sweetheart who is a spirited girl ready to defeat the King.

Elveryn & Cadenza (Song of Thorns)

The Monster Hunter who fell in love with an Elven Fey and both of them had a redemption arc. Technically his hair isn't white (Kane's is, not his) but a very pale shade of blond that the picrew didn't have, and he actually wears precision goggles instead of glasses, but you get the idea!

Tarrant & Aiden (Song of Thorns)

Tarrant (the one with red hair), the Silver Snake, and his lover Aiden (they/he), with whom he has a secret love story (which is a secret he has to keep hidden lest endanger Aiden because of his employer). Somewhat-starcrossed lovers with a dash of them being two angsty fools who are bad at communication lmao.

Jasen & Prince Alaric (Song of Thorns)

The Prince (Alaric) and the Pauper (Jasen), essentially! Again, Alaric's hair is actually a shade between dark auburn and dark blond, but I couldn't find it in the picrew so I went with the next best thing. They haven't had a chance to really kiss in the story but have been pining (without being aware that the feeling is mutual because they sure as heck are bad at reading emotions lmao.) for over a year, and really want to have that chance!

Jack & Lyorna (Supernova Initiative)

Once more, lol, Jack's hair is actually not this shade - he is red-haired, but his hair color is more of a natural auburn than this - but regardless! Lyorna is a young freedom fighter from an alien planet in the Khosmonian galaxies, and they meet during Jack's mission there and fell in love! They are adorable and stubborn.

Deimos & Vesper (Supernova Initiative)

ENEMIES TO LOVERS Y'ALL!!! Actually it's more of a Rivals-to-lovers situation lmao, but still. The Sniper and the Assassin. The Alien and the Cyborg. Both incredibly efficient at what they do, they initially annoyed each other to no end and were infuriated at the prospect of having to work together, but slowly, oh so slowly, started to care for each other and eventually fell in love, begrudgingly lmao.

Arammys & Corah (Of Starlight and Beasts)

The Mage and the Knight! Friends to Lovers! Arammys meets Corah by accident after losing his memories, and the duo embarks on a fateful quest to save the continent from a warmongering queen and break an ancient prophecy, after she (Corah) learns of the land's fate.

(Arammys hai is actually golden but I didn't find the option!)

Impossibly New ❄️

Snippet from a sequel to You Know Where to Find Me

Many thanks to @distractionsfromthefood @thelettersfromnoone and @mollywog for sending snowflakes to make me write! And again, to @mollywog for giving the inspiration for a sequel! It is a longer WIP and I will likely complete it someday. But until then, enjoy the ending! And you guessed right, the title is a song by They Might Be Giants!

“Look, I’m sorry about them, really.” Peeta turns to her once the house is out of sight. “They were just happy to see you but they can be a bit much sometimes.”

“I was happy to see them too,” says Katniss, trying to match her strides to his. “I can’t believe it’s been that long.”

“Seven years almost to the date,” he says under his breath. She has a sense that he is about to ask her something, but he wipes the frown off his face and says, “Well, I can’t believe I had to drag you inside on the threat of literal hypothermia."

“Oh, stop. We only took like, what, ten thousand steps the whole day?”

“Yeah, in freezing weather with only a dodgy kebab to eat. I’d have keeled over if I took another step.”

“You need to get tougher, I suppose,” she jokes. The truth is they could’ve gone to the Mellarks earlier but she didn’t feel ready to face the memories. And her old house just across the road. “Are you sure you’re fine to walk back on your own in the snow?”

“I live just three minutes away, Katniss.”

“Well, text me anyway.”

“Will do. And you ring me when you’re home, alright?”

The bus station is almost empty, much like when she arrived this morning. They stand on the platform with their hands deep in their coat pockets and awkward smiles plastered on their faces.

“I will see you soon,” says Peeta, as they watch the bus pull up. "We'll be back on campus in a couple of weeks."

She nods and notices how the snow is now gathering on the ground, sparkling under the headlights of her bus. “It reminds me of that song we used to listen to.” She starts singing in a low voice. “The streets are paved with diamonds and there is just so much to see…”

“Hah,” Peeta laughs dismissively, pushing the thin sheet of snow around with the toes of his boot. “I think we pretty much established there is fuck all to see here. Maybe I’ll visit you in London before the term starts and then it’d be more like it.”

“That’s not what the song is about though,” Katniss corrects him. “It goes ‘But the best thing about New York City is you and me.’” 

A smile spreads across his face. “So that would make the best thing about this town…”

“Us.” Katniss shrugs. “If you’ll allow it.”

 “Let me think,” he says, taking a step towards her and clasping her cold hands in his. “I mean, I’ve lived here my whole life and almost all my friends are here…”

“True. Not to mention your family and your perfect little niece.”

“I know. And we happen to be very close to the best city on earth here.”

“Liverpool is hardly the best city on earth, Peeta.” Katniss rolls her eyes. 

“But,” he ignores her and squeezes her hands again, “ I will agree that the best thing about this town is you and me. ‘Cause I have a pretty good feeling you’re about to finally kiss me now.”

[maulfucker]

well now youve hooked me and i'd like to see bratty maul (pretty please)

ABSOLUTELY this is like. my pet nsfw wip. I keep working on it on and off and it never ceases to amuse me <3

the plot of this one is like. Maul gets captured and he is being extremely uncooperative so Obi-Wan shows up to try to help interrogate him (being the negotiator and all that). and then.

you can see in this post this fic's birth inside my brain. basically it's maul wanting to be dominated but in a "forced to submit" way because admitting you have desires is for cowards. (and then I made him be in rut because it was an easy reason for him to be acting weird and an in-story way for them both to deny this means anything)

oh and here is another bit from it I've posted ages ago :]

wip ٩(ˊ〇ˋ*)و

[lovelylotusf1]

Got tagged by @wisteriagoesvroom @foggieststars & @fueledbyremembering to do the last line game, thank youuu <3

Last Line Game: share the last line(s) of whatever you're working on.

Because I can't finish stuff, I've started a new little thing:

Oscar doesn't know why he's this ... easy. For Lando.

Maybe it's his eyes. The way they light up whenever Oscar is in his vicinity, like an overeager puppy who was left all alone for the whole day, staring sadly at the door until someone comes back to give him attention. Or maybe it's his voice, how it goes all high and soft and teasing. Almost like an audible grin. Poking and prodding until he sees Oscar's feeble attempt at resistance fold like the cheap tent they're failing to set up.

Whatever it is, it doesn't really matter.

I'm always late to these things, so I think literally everyone has been tagged already :((

But maybe @jusst-you-race & @wanderingblindly if you don't mind the possible double tag <3

find the word

tagged by @loopyhoopywrites, thank you! my words are Fire, Earth, Air, and Water, which have definitely got Valloroth vibes, so these are all from the first book~ this ended up being a Vren special, so Wraith enjoyers, you’re welcome 🖤

[ID - a green and black decorative divider]

fire

There were three more infernii this side of the wagon—a smattering of rapid-fire Infernal flew between one of them and Sorrow, too fast for Vren to follow, then the three started towards him. Vren adjusted his grip on his dagger, and resolved to find a way to bury it in Sorrow’s gut before the day was through.

earth

Forest sounds chirped around him, dark earth damp underfoot. Golden sunlight barred through the trees, but Vren’s face was splashed with red. The communuication stone pulsed in his hand, and he resented every line of the glowing Fenthari crest. “There was a dragon,” he said, with the kind of explanatory restraint developed over years of dealing with people who resisted understanding the reality of a situation. “You do know what a dragon is?” “You are supposed to be the best there is. I was under the impression—” “It took your demon as a warmup. And your runaway Prince has far more magic than you insinuated.”

air

Shadow curled at the young Prince’s feet and the bottom dropped out of Sorrow’s stomach. He’d seen the Wraith perform that maneouver, rising out of a cast shadow to slit a throat, just once before. Once had been enough—the move was fatal. But it wasn’t. At the last second, Lucian span in place, sword whipping through the air to block the assassin’s knife. Sorrow’s breath caught. The memory of heat pulsed in his chest, and he pressed a hand over the place where the scars clustered thickest, gaze shifting to the thick braid that wrapped Lucian’s head. Insanity. The very idea was insanity, far over the edge of possible—and yet the Wraith stood stymied.

water

Compared to Zhirasea, Willowtown was a lifeless backwater. Even the remnants of dwarven buildings poking out of the ground did little to lend it any character. Vren hadn’t much cared for it the first time he’d been here, and he didn’t much care for it now, but it was the first place of any merit on the trade road as he came out of Iaseri, and so he tolerated it.

Word Find Tag!

Thanks for the tag, @writingrosesonneptune (here)!

My words were: Glass, Teeth, Red, and Sky

I'll go with Song of Thorns and Supernova Initiative for this one!

Glass (Supernova Initiative)

The strange liquid swirled within the glass syringe with a menacing silver glow. Jack frowned. "What the hell is that?"

"Oh, this little thing? An advanced tracking system of my own creation. To ensure you and your crew complete your mission properly so that you can't slip between my fingers again - all of you will get one of these" The Director gestured to his assistant, who picked up the syringe and moved to stand beside Jack, who glared daggers "Injected into your bloodstream."

Teeth (Song of Thorns)

The sound of gnashing teeth echoed throughout the cavern, the creature's thundering footsteps somewhere above causing pieces of gravel to plummet from the rocky ceiling. Roselyn swallowed a whimper holding onto Renn's hand as they turned to the strange Lantern Keeper. "Okay, how do we get out of here?"

The other girl cocked her head to the side, gesturing somewhere further into the mountains. "It'll be fine, I know a way, but we'll have to be quick and very quiet. C'mon." She started to walk but stopped in her tracks holding out a hand as if expecting a handshake. "Name's Cyriel by the way. Though I think your vampiric friend here knew that."

Red (Song of Thorns)

As, giant mahogany doors of the castle hall swung open, a clacking of boots on the stone floor echoed fiercely. His guest had arrived. The king placed the gold-trimmed goblet on the table, carelessly, a drop of deep red wine staining the precious cloth upon it. He smirked. "Ah, yes, the famed Ghoulsbane. I see you found your way to my palace promptly. Good. I hope you enjoy your accommodations."

The young man shook his head, absentmindedly running a hand across his crossbow, studying the metal gears. "I won't be staying. You said you had a job for me?" Despite addressing the head of state, he doesn't bother with any honorifics.

This causes a hushed murmur to echo amidst the royalty scattered across the hall, until the the King leans forward on the table, silencing his peers with a single gesture of his hand. He didn't look away from the hunter as he spoke once more, his voice venomous as a serpent's tongue. "Yes, I do. Hunting down a certain thief of dhampir blood - one Renn Atrius of a rather considerable disrepute. I'll pay you accordingly, as your talents in dealing with such beasts speak for themselves. I assume you'll make short work of this... nuisance."

"Consider it done," Elveryn answered with a curt nod, twirling a silver arrow between his fingers, before nocking it to the crossbow.

King Larkin smirks, sitting back down on his gilded chair, the chalice of wine upon his hand once more. "Excellent answer, lad."

Sky (Supernova Initiative)

In her room on the spaceship, Cassie lay splayed out on the floor like a small starfish, a fluffy blanket between her and the cold metal of the room as she looked up at the murky, almost starless sky above. It was oddly familiar, the sight, reminiscent of the grimy moons they once called home a few years ago - and not in a comforting way.

The room's door opened with an almost hermetic whoosh of air, and she didn't need to look to recognize the familiar footsteps that followed. "Something on your mind?" Jack asked, sitting down on the floor beside her, leaning against the wall, and handing her a vanilla smoothie.

Cassie shrugs, taking the smoothie in one hand while battling with a stubborn strand of her own hair that insisted on falling into her eyes. "Eh, not really. Just thinking - this place stirs up memories, don't it?"

"I find it's best not to dwell on it." Jack agrees, gently pushing her hair away from her face. He smiles "But really, we'll be outta here soon enough. Artemis says he knows someone that'll fish the ship in no time."

"I hope he knows what he's doing this time" Cassiopeia chuckles.

"He always does - I think. In a weird, gremlin way, he kinda always has a backup plan for most scenarios."
