Weeping Gods (WIP)

This tale sweeps you up and drops you back 3500 years into the past, straight onto the banks of the Nile, at the dawn of the Egyptian New Kingdom. The Empire has only been liberated from a hundred year old occupation. The scars left by the war are still healing and yet, threats loom on the horizon again. Some powerful artifacts have been stolen and the king entrusts you with their recovery. Suddenly finding yourself out of your depth and all out of options, you have no choice but to agree to the dangerous mission. You don't know what awaits you on this journey but you know one thing for sure: if you don't catch the enemies of the empire, you will risk more than your own life.

Take your fate into your own hands, solve mysteries, meet new friends, fall in love, learn about magic, monsters, spirits, gods, and have fun in the ancient Egyptian Kingdom in this historical fantasy novel.

The story is a work of fiction and is not historically accurate.

Features

Choose from 4 different origin characters, each with unique stories and choices that will follow you through the rest of the game: - a priest in over their head with a caring and loyal mentor - a noble very much in over their head with a problematic family - the captain of the Theban Guard, who is way too tired for this - a thief from the slums of Thebes, desperate for survival

Play as male, female or non-binary; gay, straight or bi.

Build friendships, rivalries, or find love with a young prince, a mysterious spymaster, a brooding spirit, an elite warrior… or even the pharaoh himself.

Explore Egypt through a series of adventures with a ragtag team of characters

Solve mysteries, climb the Great Pyramid of Giza, deal with the sparks of revolution, and help secure the kingdom's future

Warnings: The story will contain heavy and dark themes, excessive swearing, mental health problems, and optional sexual content, so it is recommended for mature audiences only. The whole list of triggering content can be found in the beginning of the demo.

The Romances

Narmer - A kind and patient man with a golden heart, a fierce sense of duty, a bloody past, and way too little free time.

Qenna (m/f) - The living enigma. Fun and casual at first glance, but why is everyone warning you against spending time with them?

Zaia (m/f) - Spends most of their time brooding or hiding from people, but they can be surprisingly cheeky with those they feel comfortable with.

Tabiry - A dependable and loyal woman, she is the type of person you could trust to have your back in any situation.

Ahmose (m/f) - Young and impressionable, with a dazzling smile and too much hope for a better future.

The Demo

Chapter 1 completed

Chapter 2 completed

So I've been plonking away at a new WIP that I started for @dbdcentral's Dead Boy Detectives Appreciation Week and I....am not going to have it finished before the event ends 😅😅😅

However, @five-and-dimes tagged me in the last line tag game again, and I do have a part of the fic I'm pretty proud of so far, so I'm going to share it!

This fic is meant to fill the Day 2 Prompt: Alternate Universe. The basic premise here is that while on a case, Charles gets hit by a weird spell that causes him to wake up in an alternate universe where he and Edwin are alive, human, and living together as young adults and not teenagers. Oh, and they're also together together, and Charles is...much more into it than he thought he would be 🤭

---------

“Good morning sleepyhead,” Edwin greets, holding out a mug to him. “Coffee?” Charles takes the cup, immediately places it down on the counter, and wraps his arm around Edwin’s waist, pulling him in for a kiss.  He likes kissing Edwin, Charles decides. Edwin’s mouth fits perfectly against his, soft and plush and warm. Edwin also tends to sigh every time their lips touch, like he’s surrendering complete control of the kiss, of himself, entirely to Charles. It’s a dizzying feeling, to be trusted so completely like this. They’d always trusted each other implicitly, in every way that mattered, but this vulnerability, this devotion, is something else entirely. “What’s gotten into you?” Edwin laughs when they pull apart. “You’re acting like we just started dating yesterday.” “Maybe I’m being nostalgic,” Charles whispers against his best friend’s mouth, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips as well. He nuzzles his nose into Edwin’s, then steals another kiss. “Maybe I want to reignite that initial spark in our relationship.” “Oh please, like the spark ever went out,” Edwin replies, rolling his eyes fondly. “You’ve never been able to keep your hands off me.” “And I’m not about to start,” Charles grins, before he kisses Edwin again. Edwin lets out a surprised mmph! but otherwise does not protest to being kissed senseless once more. Breakfast and coffee can wait, Charles thinks. Nothing else more important than this.   There’s a small part of Charles that feels guilty about wanting to do this, about wanting to step into a life that did not belong to him. This was not his Edwin that he was kissing, and he was not this world’s Charles. Charles knows that if he immerses himself too much in this world, it will be that much harder for him to get out, for his Edwin to find the right spell or magic to get Charles back to his own world. If he isn't careful, Charles could even get stuck here permanently, and never be able to go back.  …But surely a few stolen kisses couldn’t hurt?

day 31 of @hprecfest - most recent fic you loved

First Watch of Night by @tackytigerfic - E, 274k, 2024 (completed, posting as a WIP every two days, on chapter 14/21)

Harry Potter defeated Voldemort at the Battle of Hogwarts on May 2nd, 1998.

But what if he didn't?

Excerpt:

“Every single time your magic sparks off Potter’s, you could be eroding the edges of the world,” Draco said. “Though I suppose there’d be no Voldemort if the very fabric of our universe is destroyed. Excellent approach to victory from Team Reckless.”

Harry hadn’t hit anyone in years, probably not since fighting with Draco himself, in school, but he wanted to so badly that he could feel the hopeful tingle of it through his palm, out into the fingertips and collecting in his balled fist.

Interrogate the feeling, Bill would say if he were here. Let yourself feel what you need to feel. Harry suspected “let yourself embrace the violent desire to punch Draco Malfoy right in his smug mouth” was not quite what Bill meant when he had gone through those mindfulness exercises with the troops last month.

“Do you know what it’s like?” Harry said, pressing his hands flat against his own thighs, bearing down into the shifting muscle, grounding himself. It felt strange to be so close to Draco’s restless body. “Being me, I mean. Do you know what it’s like?”

“I don’t even know how to answer that,” Draco said. His colour was high in the spill of moonlight, throat swallowing convulsively. “Of course I don’t.”

“Just imagine,” Harry said quietly. From next door came the low sound of laughter. Malfoy had made it to bed, then. “Imagine being in pain all the time, constant low-level pain from all the Occlumency. And all the fighting. Years of it, Draco, years and years.” Under his palms his thighs felt tense. “I’m so tired.”

Without letting himself think about what he was doing, he shifted sideways on the bed and flopped down to lying, stretching his legs, letting himself sink into the mattress. Draco’s pillow was cool and firm under his hot cheek, and he closed his eyes. After a moment he felt the bed shift as Draco wriggled back down so he was lying too. The pillow under Harry’s head dipped with the added weight of Draco’s head, and he kept his eyes closed.

How do I even start with this fic, which I'd been hearing about for two years and looking forward to for longer, and which I FINALLY got to read (and even better, to beta!) this summer?? First Watch of Night is epic in length and even more so in scope; the worldbuilding is incredible, the characters are all fully-formed - flawed, but so very loveable, and at the heart of it all is a Tacky trademark love story, so deeply-felt that it'll stay with you long after you finish the fic. Plus... Multiverse! Angst! Pining! Draco and Harry getting to know their counterparts from another (maybe familiar...?) universe! Ex-friends to enemies to maybe-friends to lovers! Sharing a room! Spy Draco! Fencing! Rosie, Harry's gorgeous goddaughter! Multiple POVs! Action scenes! Sex! Wolfstar sex! (Brief) Romione sex! Other-Drarry sex! Look, this might not be the most polished rec of all time, but if you've read any of Tacky's fics before you'll know what they're about. And you'll probably already understand why I'm raving about this fic. So go, get started now, and you might just catch up with posting in time for the epilogue! (assuming you read faster than i do)

If you read it, and especially if you love it, please do let me know! And as always, please do take the time to leave the author a kudos/comment <3

Thanks for the tags @dizzymisslizzie @run-for-chamo-miles @onthewaytosomewhere & @porcelainmortal!

This year has been a busy year (not just fic wise tbh), I wrote 86,387 words across 7 fandoms thanks to Ficlet Fridays. That became a proper thing, thank you for sticking around for my silly prompts (it will be returning in the new year but the regularity of it might change cause my work year is hectic). I'm going to summarise my full fics but click here you wanna check out my ficlets. Round up under the cut ✨

January

a frightening magic I cling to | 1.7k | M

After an indulgent Christmas, Henry battles with body image issues. Alex tries to pull him from his demons the best he can.

This fic was cathartic as hell and there's a much longer sequel in the works that I'm taking my time on.

By now, I thought I'd be over it | 1k | T

Watch party at the Brownstone, Henry's got a lot of feelings and as usual, Alex filters his coffee more than his mouth. What could go wrong?

A request that I actually think I could handle better now as a writer.

Alex Vs Goodreads Trolls | 3.5k | T

Henry is in the UK for the launch of his book, leaving Alex to his own devices. He's got an internet connection & a bottle of scotch, what's the worst that could happen?

Written purely for my own enjoyment, I think this is as close to canon Alex behaviour as I've got tbh.

March

Her Royal Highness | 5k (WIP) | T

How Prince Henry ended up as a guest judge on RuPaul's Drag Race UK.

Can't believe it was so long ago I updated this! It is high priority for the new year.

Mary & George & Henry | 4.1k | M

When Mary & George is announced, a certain prince is incredibly happy about it. Henry (and Alex)'s reactions to the series.

Minimal plot, silly times. I might do another react fic cause this was fun, if anyone has ideas I'm all ears!

April

i try hard to get back inside your arms alive | 1.2k | T

Alex learns about bi-erasure.

This fic's comments are a big bi group hug and I'm so glad everyone felt comfortable sharing. 🩷💜💙

it's still reserved for me | 0.5k | T

Alex wakes up feeling poorly & the only cure is hugs from Henry, of course.

A prompted drabble, classic sick fic.

May

Ain't it fun to hold the world in your hands? | 11.5k | M

Alex allows himself to finally play with gender

The beginning of my Bigender Alex AU, my beloved. This was definitely my way of processing and the response helped me so much.

You’re going to be the death of me, babygirl. | 1.3k | M

Alex has an emotional response to an online trend and Henry uses the bedroom for a moment of healing.

Part 2 of Bigender Alex AU. Inspired by Nick Galitzine chronically being called babygirl online if I'm honest!

July

I could speak (or just let my body explain) | 6.4k | M [Co-written with @run-for-chamo-miles]

Five times Alex expresses her gender publicly (+1 time he expresses himself privately).

The third installment of Bigender Alex AU & my first collaboration! Writing this with Elle was the pure escapism I needed at the time, I loved writing with them & I'm so excited to do it again hopefully in 2025.

November

lost in the revelry (lost in the make believes) | 5.1k | T

When Alex is sick with the flu and June can't make it to NYC due to a storm, she calls in Henry to help. Alex is less than pleased...

My fic for @taste-thewaste as part of the @anywhere-with-you-event. I signed up to this to challenge myself & getting to write for Amber made it a special treat.

(set the alarms my dear) there's a million lives to live. | 2.1k | E

Henry encounters the Quinn app while Alex is on vacation with some law school friends. Both Henry and Alex make some discoveries about pleasure.

The Quinn fic & my first proper Explicit fic! This fic was inspired by my own discovery of Quinn, that app & community have helped me get my creative spark back and process a lot mentally, very similar to what being in this fandom does for me too.

Digital Love Letters | 8.9k (WIP) | T

Alex and Henry are long distance (most of the time) and are soppy, horny idiots in love. [Ft. Occasional super six group chats, cheeky emails between Zahra and Shaan and our favourite agents chatting shit about the little shits they look after etc]

The fic that launched me back into fanfic and into the RWRB fandom. This is when I posted the last update, it astounds me how much love this fic has gotten. It means the world 💛

December

I caught that holiday glee, my true love gave it to me | 0.8k | T

When Alex finds out the Shelter has a staff holiday baking competition with the prize being a stay at the new suite at the Beekman hotel, he immediately dives in.

One of my drabbles for RWRB Festive Fan Fest. I can't wait to do the event even bigger & better next year cause these were a lot of fun!

All the way home I'll be warm | 0.8k | G

Snow arrives at Balmoral and Beatrice reminds Philip how to have a bit of fun. AKA older Fox siblings fluff extravaganza ❄️

Another FFF fic, and it's made me want to write more Fox siblings in the future.

We all will be together, if the fates allow | 0.4k | G

A Christmas morning for a young Henry ✨

And this FFF fic cemented my need to write more Fox family vibes. Especially more Arthur and Catherine.

Santa's comin' to town (with secrets in his hands) | 1.7k (WIP) | T (Changing this with part 2)

Percy organises a Secret Santa party and June has a tiny emotional crisis over it.

My Junora college AU! I'm praying it'll be done before the year is up and put it this way, we're going out with a bang ✨

⭐ If you've made it all the way through, firstly well done & here's a gatorade, secondly thank you for your support this year. I've not focused on my original writing as much this year but despite that I feel like my writing muscle is in great shape & thanks to fanfic I'm feeling up to getting the book into shape. As a thank you, I'm going to leave you with the WIP list, and we're dipping into other fandoms babyyyy! ⭐

Warm Up Masterlist and Wrap-Up

We're so thrilled you've all joined us on this journey! From December 1 through our extension day December 8, 2024, twelve creators provided us with forty-three individual entries to Warm Up! This included thirteen artworks and thirty short written works of fic (and/or poetry, in two cases). They're all listed below for you to enjoy anytime.

The challenge focused on micro Magicians fanworks of all types, welcoming both new works and additions to existing WIPs. The “warm up” theme could include vibes that are warm, cozy, related to winter, being hot (in any sense of that word), warming up or preparing for a big event, just starting out in something like magic, and other creative takes. Read more about Warm Up.

To all creators: Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us! We're so delighted and honored! It's been such a joy seeing your work emerge and creating alongside you! (Please let us know if any corrections are needed to your information below.)

To all fans: We appreciate you so much! Your encouragement keeps us going! Please stop by and like/kudos and/or comment wherever you feel so moved!

And thank you so very much to our team of mods for making this event a reality with your knowledge, skills, hard work, kindness, and generosity of spirit! Our team includes: @eliotqueliot, @magicians4time, @museinabsentia, @state-of-being, and @unlifeira.

Our challenge took place on Tumblr and AO3. Some of the works (especially art) may appear only on Tumblr. Additionally, some creators may prefer you encounter their work first on a specific platform. So, due to Tumblr restrictions on the number of links in a post: If the work is on more than one platform, the title links to the creator's preference, with the alternate platform listed afterwards. Creators are tagged to their Tumblr profile. We'll name their AO3 handle as well, but if their work also has an AO3 link, please use that to find their profile.

Please also visit the AO3 Warm Up Subcollection, which includes twenty-three distinct titles (many of these individual works include multiple pieces created especially for Warm Up, with a note at the start of each work/relevant chapter letting you know what's included). This collection also preserves the guidelines of the challenge.

And now, without further ado...our very esteemed credits for our very first challenge!

CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE, AND SO MANY THANKS!!!

[emmetverse]

Timelines are delicate things, aren't they? The smallest thing can cause immeasurable changes between worlds. The details of a plan, the location of a room... People call it the Butterfly Effect, I suppose.

There's a place people go when their worlds give up on them. When the universe doesn't want them anymore, when the timelines trickle out and die, but the people are just a little too stubborn to give up. It's not the best place, it's not the worst place. Whether or not it's better than death is up to you. The important part is that they're surviving.

And.. They have internet connection?

░█▀▀░█▀█░█▀▀░▀█▀░ ░█░░░█▀█░▀▀█░░█░░ ░▀▀▀░▀░▀░▀▀▀░░▀░░

All of them are called Emmet, of course, but that would get confusing quickly. Instead, they rely on nicknames:

◈ Em, what you would call the 'canon Emmet'. His universe has some differences from the original. Nothing that really changes anything.

✲ Spark, from a world where magic is very much real. His magic grew out of control and he ended up creating the void to contain himself. Not that he remembers it.

≜ Threes, or simply Three, a cyborg who lost a chunk of their body when the Kragle exploded. Sometimes it's a good thing when the plan doesn't work first time.

□ Buddy, a man who was stuck on the dust planet Undar for... Well, time doesn't matter anymore. He's the kind of guy who lives in the wall. Literally.

⊡ Rex, an immortal superhero. Or, well, he would be, if he'd gotten the opportunity to grow up. He's currently stuck in an adult body, though it should be fixable once they're out of here.

⩙ Nightshade,

⨳ Cleric, wip

⛯ Snowball, Spark's 'big brother' (Rex). wip

⑄ Chip, a sentient spaceship computer, now stuck in a small harddrive.

※ Void.

No NSFW, shippy, or suggestive anything. I'm an adult.

It might take a while to get to asks. I'm just one guy!

Please don't vent in asks/dms.

Rude asks are ok, but please be aware that they'll be rude back, and I might just end up ignoring you if it goes too far.

Any of the characters are availble to answer asks! Some are more talkative than others, so if you want a specific character to answer something, please say so!

All the characters here are related to fics I've written, but haven't necessarily finished, or even started posting. If you care about spoilers for them then this is your warning.

Canon, AU, OC, OOC, magic anon, and even other media asks are all welcome! Just don't break the meta too much ^_^

Companion Work to: Let Us Cling Together As The Years Go By

Happy Birthday to me! Here’s a project I’ve been working on for what seems like forever! 💜

・⧗・⧗・⧗・⧗・⧗・⧗・⧗・⧗・⧗・⧗・⧗・⧗・

Ch. 1: 5 Years Old

He thinks her a spirit when he sees her. A star goddess come down to Prythian like the stories his mother read to him. She is so very pretty, his Star Lady, her glowing white skin silvered by the moonlight and her eyes shining brighter than the jewels in his mother’s crown. 

“Hello Rhys,” the goddess said. 

As if she already knew him. 

As if they already were very good friends. 

But Rhys was so sure he would’ve remembered such a creature. She was so very pretty. Prettier, even, than his mother—the prettiest lady in all of Prythian. 

“Do I know you Lady?” 

The Star Lady smiled softly. It was the same sort of smile his mother gave him, patient and kind. 

“No. I don’t think so,” she confessed, before her smile turned mischievous. “But perhaps one day you will.” 

“Oh,” he said, quite confused. Weren’t they meeting now? 

He noticed then, the soft curve of her stomach. 

Young he may have been, but Rhys knew what that telltale curve meant. He had seen it on his own mother only a few months before. A sibling she had said. A new brother or sister for him, carried deep in her belly until it was safe for them to come out. And Rhys, lonely child that he was, had been so very excited. So filled with hope and joy at the thought of a sibling to love. 

But then, one day, his mother had tearfully told him that there would be no brother or sister. And, over the following days and weeks, he had watched her stomach grow flat and empty once more. The promise it had held, of a better future, vanished. As if it had never been there at all. 

His mother had refused to speak on the subject ever since. 

“Are you…is it a baby?” Rhys asked awkwardly, gesturing towards her stomach. 

The Star Lady smiled at him. A blinding, joyful smile that warmed him down to the very marrow of his bones. 

“Soon,” she nodded happily. “A boy.” 

She looked at him strangely then, as if this were supposed to mean something to him. And for some reason…it did. He didn’t know exactly why, but he felt strangely…protective of her. This Star Lady and the glowing spark he felt pulsing away happily in her belly. There was a deep sort of kinship there. One he didn’t quite understand but he nonetheless he felt comforted by. 

“Did you name him?” He asked curiously. 

She smiled. 

“Nyx,” she said softly. Reverently. “We named him Nyx.” 

Nyx. Like the old Night goddess his mother told him about. 

“Would you like to feel?” She asked. And, at his shy nod, she gently trapped his hand between her own and the curve of her belly. He marveled over just how…hard her stomach was—instead of soft as he had expected. 

And then he felt it. A fluttering little pulse under her skin. Like an erratic sort of heartbeat. 

“Oh!” 

He nearly snatched his hand away in surprise. 

“He knows you’re there,” the Lady said warmly. “He recognizes you.” 

Years from now, he will think back on those words. And puzzle over them. For how could a babe in the womb recognize a child he had yet to meet? But for now Rhys was simply enthralled with this little flickering life underneath his palm and the mysterious lady who sheltered it like The Mother made flesh.  

He felt something else then, a stranger sort of magic, even deeper than the flickering little spark in her belly. 

The Star Lady smiled down at him apologetically. 

“I have to go now,” she said softly. “But we’ll meet again soon.” 

“Do you promise?” He didn’t know why he was so…desperate to see her again. He’d only just met her. She was a stranger to him. 

And yet…it felt like they’d always known each other. 

And always would.

“I promise.”

And then, between one blink and the next, she was gone.

🍪🍪🍪 my official ask for the Stalion WIPs 🍪🍪🍪

THANKS SO MUCH FOR ASKING! ^-^ *munches on the cookies*

There are currently seven Stalion fics in my WIP folder:

The FBI Liaison, the Mischief Monday for December 2nd

Future fic more or less in-universe, but with the canon divergence of the Alpha Pack being good and working for the Magic Council, having gone to Beacon Hills during 3A to evaluate Derek as an Alpha.

Years later, they are sent to work with an FBI liaison of the council's. Neither of them are thrilled because usually council liaisons who work for the US government are stuck up and annoying.

Until they meet the agent and realize it's Stiles.

--

The Overbooked Council Convention, originally a Mischief Monday but has since been upgraded to Wednesday Oneshot, to be posted on December 11th

I actually posted a sneak peek for this fic already, but here's the premise: Also the twist of the Alpha Pack being good and working for the Magic Council, also a future fic. But in this, Stiles was pushed out of the McCall Pack after Donovan and has been traveling the US on his own for the past three years, working as a freelancer for a bit before he got recruited by the Magic Council.

Every year, the council gathers all its representatives for a convention, an open exchange. This year is the first Stiles attends as an official representative. And the council somehow overbooked the hotel, many left without a room. Thankfully, other participants are willing to share.

Deucalion is willing to share with Stiles. Stiles is glad that Deuc is so generous and he's happy to see the Alpha Pack again, had missed them all. What Stiles doesn't know is that Deucalion's pack had come back to Beacon Hills only weeks after he had left the town, weeks after graduation, because Deucalion had every intention of courting the Spark. Finally, Deucalion has found his chosen again and this time, he wasn't going to let Stiles slip away so easily.

(This story started as a poor excuse to write "there's only one bed" with Stalion and then I developed feels and grew attached to the mentor/mentee Marin-Stiles dynamic and now I'm sitting at 7k and they still haven't gone to bed...)

--

The Demon Wolf's Distraction, an upcoming Mischief Monday

Part of the promised "at least a dozen 'Deucalion rolls into town with A PLAN but then Stiles fully hijacks that' fics" I talked about in the A/N of Smells So Sweet.

The Alpha Pack comes to town to evaluate the Hale Pack and while doing so, a curious Spark seems to be spending an awful lot of time with them. Deucalion finds Stiles far more interesting than the local pack and is soon enthralled by the inquisitive, powerful boy.

--

Sexed Up By the Demon Wolf, an upcoming Mischief Monday

Not to repeat myself, but good Alpha Pack comes to town to evaluate Derek. The Darach starts sacrificing virgins and Stiles grows very, very nervous about his v-card and the lack of willing people to take it. Deucalion has no idea how anyone could say no to that, but he is more than happy to help Stiles out.

--

Revenge Is a Meal for Two, an upcoming Mischief Monday

In this one, the Alpha Pack comes neither because of the Magic Council nor for Derek or Scott at all. Deucalion is exclusively there to get his revenge on Gerard Argent. Him and his pack want to kill the man, but they come just in time of the season 2 finale and Gerard slithering away, so they go and track him down.

Stiles, bitter and vengeful after he got kidnapped and tortured by Gerard, isn't going to let the bastard get away either and tracks him down too.

They meet for the first time when they find Gerard and kill him together.

--

How to Seduce Your Best Friend's Alpha, an upcoming Wednesday Oneshot

Stronger AU on this one; Deucalion's pack isn't an Alpha Pack, they're a regular pack - and they're not located in the US. They never come to Beacon Hills at all, instead they're the London Pack Jackson relocates to.

After the Nogitsune, Stiles and Jackson form a long-distance friendship because Stiles finds that he has an easier time talking to the former kanima about the possession than anyone else. Jackson just gets it, in a way nobody else does.

So after graduation, Stiles packs up and moves to London with Lydia to be with Jackson. That's when Stiles meets Deucalion, Jackson's Alpha, and quickly falls for the handsome, charming, powerful man.

--

Get Out of Hell (to Find a Demon), an upcoming Wednesday Oneshot

Canon divergence where the Alpha Pack never comes to Beacon Hills at all, but they are the pack Boyd and Erica run into when they flee the town. They join the pack, train with them and along the way, kill two rogue Alphas to gain Alphahood themselves and thus, their permanent place in the pack. All the while, they stay in contact with Stiles, texting and calling him.

When Stiles kills Donovan and Scott won't believe him, Stiles doesn't know what to do or who to turn to, so he calls Erica and Boyd. His friends come to pick up the pieces and the Demon Wolf opens his den to his pack members' friend, without knowing what he signs up for or how much Stiles was going to grow on him.

3 excerpts from a WIP dedicated to @la-sera and her gorgeous Downfall Duo Art

(The whole thing is long, so I wanted to share the parts you'd probably like best.)

1 - Chain vs Ghirahim and Yiga Clan

2 - Legend goes crazy looking for Rulie

3 - Delayed reunion with Rulie

Others have the same goal.

In Wild's Hyrule

“Traveler! Legend!” Four shouted in warning. 

“Oh look, I’ve found a little bird,” Ghirahim laughed. 

Legend? Sky turned to see Legend on the ground, knocked on his back by two pillars of earth the Yiga blademasters had shot up from the ground. They lifted their blades to strike him, but Legend was already swinging his leg to sweep their feet. He seemed to be holding his own. So who… 

Another shout from the road nearby, far more desperate, drew his eye. 

"Traveler!" Sky yelled. His heart beat too fast, the sound pounding in his ears. 

 Hyrule struggled desperately, pinned against the demon’s chest. The young traveler’s shield magic barely kept the barrage of black diamond blades at bay, but he was quickly wearing out from the effort. 

“Let him go!” Sky screamed as Ghirahim slowly stepped backwards, “Rulie! Thunder!”

One of Ghirahim’s arms released Hyrule as he reached for something at his side, giving Hyrule just enough room to slip an arm out and raise it high to cast Thunder. 

But the demon yanked his hand back and looped thin, crimson ropes over his wrists with rapid precision, like a spider weaving silk on a fly. 

“No!”  Legend yelled when he toppled both Blademasters and saw his successor, his little brother, trapped.  

Hyrule gasped and writhed as the red rope touched him, and tightened. Sparks of his Thunder spell fizzled and died as it throbbed with dark purple light. 

Hyrule grew pale and his eyelids drooped, half-closed, as magic drained from him. The rope cinched his wrists tighter together as the daggers turned outward, circling defensively around the demon and his prey. 

“Get off him!” Legend roared, but red flashes appeared in a circle around the Vet. When he tried to run past, two Yiga soldiers intercepted his path before he could gain enough speed with even a single step, and they shoved him back into the Blademasters. They wrestled him, grappling over tempered blade

“No!” Hyrule yelled, his eyes flashed open in terror for Legend before drooping again as the red ropes pulsed.

“What do you want with them?” Twilight demanded, searching the demon’s barrier for weak points and finding none. Goddesses, I miss Midna! She would strangle this clown and we’d be halfway to the stable by now.

“Oh, they don’t know about your ability, little fairy?” Ghirahim crooned in Hyrule’s ear. 

Hyrule closed his eyes tight, trying to hide his terror. He shook his head, then yelled as fast as he could, “He wants my bl–mmmph!” His words cut off as Ghirahim clapped a spindly hand over his mouth and chin. 

“You really never told them! Ha ha ha! How fortunate! I suppose that will be a mystery for the heroes to puzzle over on their own.”

“His blood revives Gannon!” Legend finished for him, and found two more huge Blademasters between him and the other Links.

There was no time to process.

Wild shot three arrows at the tall demon’s head. With a flippant wave of his fingers, the hovering knives transformed into a shimmering barrier and blocked them. 

Wild switched arrows. If ever there was ever a time to use his last ancient arrow, untouched since his fight with Gannon, it was now.

 “We need to get over there!” Wild yelled, knocking the arrow and swapping for Revali’s bow. Yet each time they tried to push closer, the Yiga rushed for Wild and the others stopped to defend him. 

Wild found an opening at last, and aimed for Ghirahim’s head, exhaled, and released the ancient arrow. 

A Yiga footsoldier appeared in the ancient arrow’s path. The soldier disappeared while the rest charged. Growling, Wild pulled out electric arrows instead. At least he had 200 of those. 

Throughout this, Legend wrestled his attackers, resisting them as much as they pressed him back, his power bracelets a force equal to their size. He kept them so off-balance that each slice and stab missed, and his boots dragged them quickly at whiplash speeds, steadily moving closer to Hyrule, but the assassins clung to him desperately, grappling for his arms. Wild and Twilight tried to pick off attackers, but Legend lurched unpredictably.

As he stopped to breathe, three fresh Yiga Blademasters appeared beside Legend and the four surviving attackers. 

Twilight, Wind and Four reached them at the same moment. 

“Subdue him already, fools,” The demon groused to the Yiga soldiers.

The Links redoubled their efforts to reach the pair.

Sky looked back to Hyrule, who had slumped in the demon's arms.

“Coward!” Sky yelled, breaking from Wild, Warrior, and Time.

“So much magic in this one, Skychild!” Ghirahim sang from another direction. He disappeared from the back of their group to the crossroad far ahead. He hefted the now unconscious teen in his arms.

“No!” Sky roared, just as lightning finally flashed above and struck the sword, but in the same instant Ghirahim and Hyrule had vanished in a cloud of obsidian diamonds. His skyward strike flew through empty air. 

Always too late, Sky thought. He felt sick. Couldn’t breathe. 

“Rulie!” Legend yelled, but the distraction cost him. The Yiga swarmed him like ants. One Blademaster struck the sword from his hand and another two pinned both his arms back. A fourth blocked Wild and Twilight’s shots with a shield.

“Ledge!” Wind warned too late, and Sky watched, frozen, as two Blademasters held the panting veteran still, brown ropes in the hands of a third, before they too disappeared. 

Where is Crimson? Sky thought numbly, standing alone where Hyrule and Legend had been. He had to fly…no, to run…to find them... but where did they go? 2. Legend's Escape

When the Yiga took Legend, they had not accounted for two facts: Legend’s arsenal of weapons, and his willingness to single-handedly burn down the entire hideout wile still inside it.  

“Where did you take him!?” Legend demanded, blasting his fire rod at the Yiga soldiers dancing away from his blasts, narrowly escaping a fiery end. 

“You’re the only one we got, you idiot!” A footsoldier shouted as she fired an arrow at Legend. She missed him entirely in her panic at the creeping flames, “you’re going to die with us if you keep lighting everything on fire!”

Alone within the enemy’s stronghold, he found no reason to hold back. 

 Legend grinned, and sent another blast into their supply of bananas. The soldiers scrambled to dodge and tried in vain to put out the flames before their whole stock burned. Legend sent back a few more blasts as he ran to the next room.

No Hyrule here, only more idiots, he realized as he entered a sparse training room. He chased the few soldiers out and continued his hunt from room to room, Pegasus boots moving him past the guards who shouted at him, the more persistent ones getting a blast of fire to the face before he continued his search. They popped in and out around him, but he hardly gave them a chance to materialize before blasting them

3. Reunion

(several days later, on a second sweep of the Yiga base with backup)

Wild, Twilight, and Legend appeared at the shrine by the Yiga base in the dead of night. 

The place was a wreck. Not a single Yiga appeared to stop them. 

“What the hell did you do, Ledge?” Twilight marveled. 

Wild surveyed the damage, some wall chunks blasted halfway to the bottomless pit where Master Khoga accidentally died while trying to kill him. 

“Hey, I don’t remember doing all this, okay? Could have been someone else,”

They both raised an eyebrow at him.

“Dinraal herself wouldn’t unleash this much destruction,” Wild smiled. 

“The Gerudo don’t like them either, little vai,” he scoffed, and looked around the piles of scorched boulders for an opening. 

“Hey, Twi’,” Wild pointed at the wall to their left. The once smooth canyon wall now showed a hidden hallway passage between blasted walls.

“I’m pretty sure that was me,” Legend confessed, “That’s just what we need, actually. It’s familiar. It leads to the prison cells,” He marched that way. “I hope they didn't reset their traps. I’d hate to have to blast them all over again,”

Wild followed. 

A rumble of thunder made them all slow and look to the sky.

A bright moon shone over a cloudless night.

“You heard that too, right?” Wild asked.

“Like…Thunder?” Twilight answered.

They raced inside.

(shortly after)

“Hyrule!” 

 He froze at Legend’s familiar yell. 

There, through the doorway, ran Legend, Twilight and Wild. 

He could hardly believe his eyes, but his thoughts had already turned to what he’d been running from.

“It’s Gannon!” Hyrule yelled as he raced to meet them, “We have to go!”

Legend grabbed the projectile that was Hyrule in his arms and nearly crashed into Wild as the debris ahead exploded. Twilight threw a blue Sheikah bomb at the broken hall which Wild set off as they ran.

Around the corner, Wild yelled, “Pull in close!”

They huddled together as blue tendrils encircled and took them out of reach of the red lights popping into view all around. The Yiga didn’t even finish materializing before the Links were gone. 

They reappeared in the cold, waving grass of Hyrule field.

“Hyrule, what the hell!” Legend’s voice trembled slightly as he gripped Hyrule’s arms and took in the state of his successor: the red thread around his throat like a line of blood, the strange white clothes, the chains, and the bruises all over him, but nothing lethal. He sighed in relief. 

“Just in case,” Twilight released a fairy. 

She zipped out and rushed around Hyrule with rapid squeaks, healing the few scrapes and bruises he’d earned climbing in the rubble. 

She chittered at the red cord on his neck before flying off. 

Before the fairy danced off into the night, Legend had pulled Hyrule into a ferocious hug. 

“I can’t believe we found you, Rulie,” he began with a growl that ended in a sob. 

Hyrule sat stunned for a moment, his tired mind catching up to the rush of events. He could feel his friend, smell his magic and sweat, the cool night air, the feel of the sturdy red tunic under his hands. He clutched him fiercely back. This wasn’t a dream. Hyrule grabbed fistfulls of the familiar tunic, and his chest swelled. 

“I’m sorry,” Hyrule sobbed into his friend’s neck, “I tried, but they brought him back! I couldn’t stop them. I'm so sorry!”

Legend pulled back and grabbed his face and looked at him fiercely. Hyrule’s heart tightened, ready for his wrath.

“It’s not your fault people are trying to destroy the world, Rulie,” his red, watering eyes made Hyrule’s heart ache, “We should have found you sooner. I’m sorry,”

Twilight and Wild placed a hand on Hyrule’s shoulder as well. He let Legend lean his forehead on his own, and they sat like that until both of them caught their breath as they sat in the cool grass.

happy sts :]

if your characters were to gain elemental powers, which would they gain? and why? if they already have them, which other power would fit them?

writblr: @vsnotresponding

Hi V! I hope you're well. Happy STS to you as well ☺️

So, this is a great question and one I'll answer for A Spark of Magic!

In A Spark of Magic, there are several magical orders, but witches are the ones who have elemental magic! Alice, the main character, is a Forger, meaning she can control/manipulate fire and light. But if she wasn't a Forger, she'd be a Bloomer, like her father. Bloomers can control/manipulate Flaura.

I say this because of several factors:

Alice was born during the Spring Equinox

Magic is hereditary in this universe (but some lineage's genes are more Dominant than others, which is why Alice is a Forger)

She really finds comfort in nature, even if her relationship with it is one of love-hate.

As for the other characters who aren't witches in this universe, I'd say Xavier (who is a shapeshifter) would be a Windsperer (Windsperers can control both water and air currents, and he'd use these abilities to spy for sure) and Isaac (who is a merfolk) would also be a Bloomer!

I hope this was somehow a satisfying answer! I wish you a lovely day/night!

Mortal Sparks

MCs - Nicolette and Alyss

Chapter 1 Teaser!

A story about a lonely necromancer that broke death's biggest rule and has to deal with the repercussions, most of which involved turning her dusty town into a zombie playground and ripping a hole in the fabric of the universe. She finds the key to repairing this damage in Alyss, a witch veteran of the Great War currently going on across the sea. Alyss is powerful, but traumatic events have fractured her control over her magic as well as her sanity, and she can't seem to shake off people looking to use her for their own goals. Before the war spirals out of control and before the hole gets big enough to let something in, Nicolette and Alyss need to control their powers and repair the damage they have caused or see the world going up in (literal) hellfire and brimstone. 

Themes - love, death, resurrection, war, trauma, body horror, cosmic entities

wip 1/2: office hours.

(the rizzard at work + lunch with the spouse)

Chalk tapped against the chalkboard as he sipped gently at a mug of tea and cleared his throat continuing with his speech. His hair was thrown back into a loose half up and down messy bun, staticky hair poking and prodding out like new spring buds. He wore a new suit vest, a stripped pattern with an argyle tie, and a light blue button down, paired with the same-colored magenta slacks. His tie pin was one of a crescent moon, (he had been on a theming kick recently). Today was on magic in other areas, written on the board were a couple pooled questions by the students. Does music automatically equal magic? How do paladin oaths work? Is It possible for magic to be innate?

He finished off his mug tapping at pages to read on the board, waving off the students and their cloaks that looked way too large for them. A stream of bobbing heads, ears and horns followed out the door. You had to maneuver around the groups of students, slowly moving their way out, a few stragglers lounging around the professor’s desk.

“I hope I’m not too late-“you approach him, setting the tin of food wrapped in a handkerchief onto his desk.

He beamed when he laid eyes on you, cheeks flushed a rosy hue. “you’re right on time, ill see you in the office, I just need to help a student with a spell pronunciation- then ill be with you.” He caught a finger under your chin, kissing your brow. His breath smelt of an earthy green tea, sweetened with honey, and the zeal of lemon juice that followed. He turned his back to you, helping the student to write it out phonetically. You heard his bright praise as the thick office door closed behind you.

the thick office door closed behind you.

The office- you remembered dearly, you helped assemble. A room with high ceilings, decorated with diagrams of spells and sheet music. One wall was clad with photos of his family, a portrait of the both of you front and center. Small linocuts of your companions sat on a bookshelf nearby, as well as tomes discussing your previous acts, which he so proudly showed off. He had asked for a new cupboard to house all sorts of dried teas, which he unhinged the doors of and installed onto the walls, framing them with delicate laces. It mirrored a little alchemical shop. The walls were a cozy and warm purple with white and brown accents. He had a little hearth and big windows facing the bay, a window ajar, the new tressym kitten may have gone out exploring. Tara the second, Gale called her.

The door creaked open as you admired the wall of portraits, you jumped within your shoes tail swishing in a slight panic.

“im sorry little love, have I frightened you?” he kissed your shoulder, wrapping his arms around your waist and swaying gently. His lips found their way up to the shell of your ear, nipping it gently. He spun you around, taking in your new sundress, yellow with pops of white blooms, a pair of lacy socks and brown kitten heels to match.

“you look positively divine- are you sure there wasn’t other intentions behind this?” he cocked a brow, the settled in features of his face creasing with mirth.

You’ll be completely honest with your feelings, jobs, children, life in general as led you two apart. Intimately it seems-

This you had no problems with, as gale had all the love in the world for you. He made sure to show his affections readily and often- with you in turn.

To this- you sheepishly nodded, tucking a curl behind your ear. “Perhaps there was motive… if you’ll oblige me of course.” Something new swirled into his eyes, a fiery spark of desire. He cracked a grin turning heel to the door. “Shame lunch will be spoiled then; I do have an appetite for something else in mind. And I wouldn’t be a smart man to waste an opportunity like this.” With a quick flit of his fingers a secure spell of arcane lock was cast

wip wednesday - 'heavy in your arms' chap 2 coming soon :)

Bonnie turns at the sound of her name, finding Jo waiting in the kitchen doorway, looking as dazed as she feels.

“Something’s happened,” Jo whispers, swaying slightly on her feet. “Something’s wrong. I - I feel so - so-,” she starts to drop before Bonnie can move to catch her, collapsing with a groan. 

“Ric!” Bonnie shouts, her magic rushing out to support Jo’s head while she turns her over onto her back. “Jo, open your eyes,” she begs, still feeling the rumble of warning echoing through her body from head to foot. “Jo, please-,”

“Out,” Jo says, her blue eyes blurry and unfocused as she looks through Bonnie completely. Her hands claw at the hardwood to either side of her hips, cracking her nails. “Out of my life.”

“Oh my god,” a quiet voice gasps, and Bonnie looks up to find a handful of students watching from the hall. Wendy, one of her witches, stares at Jo in trembling horror. “Mrs. Satlzman?”

“Go get Ric,” Bonnie orders, her voice shaking. “Now!”

They scatter at once, racing off to find help. Only Wendy remains behind, flames beginning to spark at her fingertips. 

Bonnie lifts her own hand quickly, circling Wendy with a bubble of power before she can start a proper fire. “Jo’s going to be alright,” she says, trying to keep her voice steady. “We can heal her, can’t we? Go to my office and get the leather bag beside my desk.”

Wendy shudders, the flames at her fingers growing brighter with her panic. 

“Hurry,” Bonnie urges as Jo lets out another rasping groan. “She needs your help, Wendy. You have to focus.”

Wendy squeezes her eyes closed, curling her fingers into fists at her sides. She leans into the magic surrounding her, finding comfort in its embrace. “Yes, Professor Bennett,” she says, quietly, before she races off in the opposite direction. 

Bonnie slumps over Jo, her fingers shaking slightly when she brings them back to the other woman’s face. “Josette,” she murmurs, trying to catch and hold her attention. “Can you hear me?”

“Stop,” Jo whispers, a shiver running through her. One of her hands lifts from the floor to clench across the left side of her stomach. “You know what to say?”

“What?” Bonnie asks, her magic frantically looking for a cause to her pain. “Jo, are you-,”

“I’ll do it,” Jo groans, her back arching as her muscles lock and spasm. “He’s not - he’s not supposed to be here-,”

“Jo, it’s okay,” Bonnie murmurs, feeling entirely helpless. “It’s okay, you’re okay-,”

“Run,” Jo gasps, her eyes starting to roll.

Writing Climaxes

@everything.writing

The climax is the part of the story that has the most action, usually at the end of the novel, before the resolution but after the rising action. Depending on the genre, the climax could either be a character’s worst enemy spreading their most valuable secret or a magical villain coming to terrorize a whole city.

1) Make sure the climax fits the genre and story. This is an obvious one, but magic would not belong in a realistic fiction story. If your climax fits the genre, I can’t tell you if it fits the story or not because I’m not an expert on your WIP and I don’t know. Just remember that the events should be reasonable with the prior events in your story.

2) Make sure it’s at the right spot. The climax is almost always towards the end, but whether the falling action is a few chapters or just ten pages, it’s important that it’s at a reasonable spot for your novel. Climaxes shouldn’t normally be at the beginning or else your reader will lose interest. You shouldn’t rush the falling action too much by putting the climax towards the end, but you shouldn’t rush the rising action either.

3) It should be the highest point of action. If you remember story mountain from your days in elementary school, that’s the top of the mountain. This is what a climax is, and remember that. You probably already know that, and I suppose what I’m trying to say is don’t give the prior scenes too much action or else you can’t write a proper climax.

4) Write good rising action. Good is a relative term, and this point doesn’t explain how to write good rising action. Maybe I’ll give you a post on that one day. But this is a reminder to make sure you write quality rising action that can build the climax.

5) Plan it out. For planners, you probably already plan out much more than the climax. Pantsers may not plan out anything at all. Whether a planner, pantser, or anything in between, you need to have an idea of what the climax should be. Even a few sentences is enough, but writing the climax will be way easier if you have a plan.

6) Make sure the stakes are high. In a romance novel, a breakup might be the high stake. In a sci-fi novel, people could get trapped in a cycle of time forever. The climax is the point that determines the fate of the characters (usually), and make sure you had high stakes in your novel to make the climax even more interesting.

7) Characters’ true personalities should be revealed. There’s a saying that goes something like, “it’s the tough times that show who you are.” In the climax, the reactions of the characters should show who they truly are inside. What are their true priorities in life? How do they react under pressure?

8) Time for plot twists and secrets to come out! Chances are, characters have been hiding a lot from each other and readers, and even themselves. In the climax, something should be revealed. Plot twists are also common, but don’t make them too unbelievable or it won’t flow naturally.

9) It should mark a turning point in your novel. Not everything has to be different from the way it was before, but the climax should spark change. For example, a protest that ended in violence may inspire government officials to change laws. Things after the climax should be different from the way they were before, including the characters. This is a wonderful time for character development.

10) Be descriptive. This should be the most detailed part of the novel, when you’ll describe the setting more clearly. There will be a higher page to time ratio. As one of the most memorable parts of the novel, you should get into more detail than you normally would in a regular scene.

I love climatic scenes when my fingers practically fly over the keys! It’s the part where my fingers and brain get the most excited, but it’s also the hardest part for me as well. I always feel like I’m not doing it right. I hope your climaxes go well!
