seven sentence sunday tag

tagged by @winglesswriter, thank you! here’s some from the Astarion/Durge fic i’m working on for my belated kinktober efforts, because it was a lot more fun to write than i expected and it delights me

(only six sentences, but they’re kinda long so it makes up for it)

cw: violent thoughts

[ID - a purple and black decorative divider]

The walk home takes him past a beggar (easy to strangle, left breathing), a pair of kids hawking copies of the Gazette (young spines have particularly satisfying snap to them, which remains unheard), and a stray cat (skull small enough to crush in one hand, still intact). His nails dig grooves into his palms as he walks on. The thoughts aren’t Urges. He knows this because he can tell they’re thoughts, see around them, turn them over in his mind and decide not to make them real. He can even indulge in them, expand the imagining any way he likes, and know that when he’s done, it won’t have come true. He might be drooling, or have a hard-on in the middle of the market, but he won’t be covered in blood or gnawing on a freshly cracked ribcage.

lessons in letting go ; a casual introduction

---

lessons in letting go is an erotic fantasy series-in-progress featuring an F/M, D/S dynamic between 2 people who have Absolutely No Clue what they're doing. Also they're kinda in the middle of a Big Ordeal.

Set in the fantasy world of Navaa, this wip centers on the dynamic between Dallon Saint Ichmere - the bastard son of Lord Ames Ichmere - and Syselli - a former child soldier turned right-hand-woman of the Mercenary Prince himself.

When Dallon accompanies his noble family on a trip to the Queen and King Ironheart's palace - where they intend to discuss strategy against the Ironhearts' opposition and obtain healing for his father's injured, ill wife - he doesn't expect to be singled out by the Queen's hired mercenaries; all led by the Mercenary Prince himself, Katalan.

Considering his inability to enjoy any of the mercenaries' company, he definitely doesn't expect to find himself submitting to the whims of Katalan's right hand herself - or to enjoy it as much as he does.

Now tangled in a deeply unusual and taboo arrangement, Dallon and Syselli find themselves growing steadily more attuned to each other. Even caring for each other.

They don't really know what to do with this development.

---

other characters include:

Dallon's father, Lord Ames Ichmere, and his wife, Lady Seraphine Ichmere.

Dallon's elder half-sister and closest friend, Amory Ichmere.

The Queen and King Halimena & Ymres Ironheart, and their son - Amory's fiancé, Prince Roshann Ironheart.

The Mercenary Prince, Katalan Harkenios.

Carnivale de la Monsette, Katalan's favored lover.

A variety of mercenaries, such as Two, Jagg Lystre, Vrys Elle-Reitny, Beaux LoWells, Patrice Kossal, and more!

ok this might end up being original fiction actually. What the fuck. I'm losing it

I haven't been on here in forever hi hello. Tell me why my best ideas are always for fanfic and never original fiction. Like im jotting down my ideas for a bandfic im wanting to write and even just the setting is some of the coolest shit I've ever written down.

like:

Set in a mirror world known as Redivider, where the earth is mostly wilderness and society never formed into what we know it as in our own world.

Here, "enlightened" humans are guided and mentored by extraterrestrial beings known as Fallen Stars, while other humans are scattered about the earth and fear what may happen if the Fallen Stars get ahold of them.

This is because "enlightenment" is basically the mind control tactics of Fallen Stars, who will merge/fuse minds, souls, and sometimes even bodies with their chosen humans.

when god made me he said "this guy gets some cool ideas but only for shits and giggles"

but fr i mean. im not rlly complaining bc i can always just adapt it into original fiction if I rlly want to. i just dont get why my ideas come so much easier for fanfic lol

“Hey, Lucian?” Quest asked. “Why is Prince Sorrow after you?” Lucian stared at the map as if he could escape into it if he wanted it badly enough. “You’re hurt. You should rest until we can find a healer.” “I’ve had worse.” “You have not,” Zander said. “Okay, I have not. Prince Sorrow, Lucian. Vetusak K’zinla are mercenaries, they do murder and smuggling and blackmail and stuff! What do they want with you?” “Addition to that,” Zander added, “why is one of the only assassins notorious enough to have a cautionary ballad trying to kill you? You’ve only been in Valloroth, what, a month?” “Nearly three,” Lucian protested. “And I don’t…I don’t know. I didn’t do anything to anyone.”

“You can't have her!”

October 1930

Arkham, Massachusetts

When the most powerful criminal in the city walks into a detective agency, only trouble can follow. Lazarus Core looks into Nathan O'Tipp’s eyes and half expects to be shot. He'd deserve it. Lazarus and his best friend Sadie have been getting in O'Tipp's way for months. But the syndicate leader has a different purpose for this visit: He wants Lazarus’s help.

O'Tipp, a follower of the “Old Ways”, sends Lazarus into the abandoned Bellblack Institute. A former sanitarium, closed for 20 years prior, Lazarus knows nothing about it. O'Tipp claims a book has been left within it, a book he cannot claim on his own. And he says that Lazarus must get it without Sadie.

It's clearly a trap. Lazarus and Sadie are sure of that. Disobedience seems the best choice; Sadie joins Lazarus on the midnight search. It's a choice Lazarus regrets. Something takes Sadie. It speaks with her voice. It knows his name. And nothing will stop Lazarus from saving his best friend from it.

Starring: Lazarus Core - Sadie Goode - Nathan O'Tipp - And Someone Very, Very Scary!

Vibes: Creaking floors and flickering lights + full moon and scattered leaves + ruined rooms, absolute destruction + glowing eyes in the dark + memories of family, biological and found + a hand that never healed right + a heart that never healed at all

Features:

Short story set within the Cthulhu Mythos

Found family - no romance

Transman protagonist

Villain you'll love to hate

Terrifying eldritch entity

Everyone has secrets - everyone

Plot twists everywhere

NO mental health exploitation horror!

Status: Second draft

[viscerawrites]
