harvest moon (joel miller x reader)

Summary: Joel Miller can't keep his eyes off of you. And damn, that ass is nice.

Ratings/Warnings: Fluff, some cussing, ass staring. Mostly just Joel Miller being in love and Tommy Miller being a little shit. Age gap, but both reader and Joel are grown adults (like reader is 30s Joel is early 50s) Joel has some anxiety, but nothing too descriptive. Canon divergence. I hope that's everything!

Word count: 845

A/N: I was listening to Harvest Moon by Neil Young the other day and thought to myself, "Joel Miller Joel Miller Joel Miller Joel Miller Joel Miller." Yeah, you get the gist. This was in my drafts from a few weeks ago and so I thought I would finish it. I hope you like it! Just something short and sweet. :) Imagine this gif but as Joel Miller and his beautiful greying hair....

“Darlin’, you know I don’t wanna do this either, but we gotta,” Joel says, a slightly annoyed gruff in his voice. It’s not like he’s annoyed with you, but he’s getting tired of pleading to get this show on the road. He hears you call back something from upstairs and he rolls his eyes, shuffling his way to the bathroom in which you’re currently occupying.

“Joel,” You start when he enters through the door. “I don’t mind going, and you know that. What I mind is you not tellin’ me till twenty minutes ago!” You say with a scowl. Your eyes lock through the mirror and he softens.

“”M sorry, sweet girl. Tommy didn’t tell me till we were leaving work today. I had about as much of a heads up as you did,” He says. You can tell he’s sorry, so with a soft huff you turn to face him.

“Well, he can’t be mad if we’re a few minutes late then. I’ll be done shortly, honey. Please stop stressing,” You say, giving him a soft kiss to his cheek. And just like that, everything was okay again. He needed you to remind him that everything is okay. I mean, the world is still ending, but everything is okay. Ellie and Tommy are safe. You are safe. He can’t ask for much more than that. He’s been having some anxiety issues lately, but you’ve been his saving grace. You make everything okay. With a nod, he leaves you in the bathroom alone. Sure enough, you emerge from the bathroom just a few minutes later ready to go. You grab your coats and make your way over to the bar.

Joel can’t keep his eyes off of you. All night he’s been staring you down from a seat at the bar, lightly sipping a beer. You’ve been dancing all evening with your friends..and Tommy. It was per his request for his birthday. “One dance, please. It’ll be so fun!” The younger brother pleads. You laugh and roll your eyes at him. He looks charming in his get up paired with a handsome cowboy hat on top of his head. He’s always been fond of you, but you always laugh it off and tell him to find someone his own age. He’d usually laugh and tell you to do the same, being that Joel is quite a few years older than you. Joel would usually mumble something and pout as you and Tommy continued to poke fun at Joel’s expense. You all know that Tommy’s crush isn’t serious, so you agree and follow your brother in law to the floor.

The song changes as the two of you find a spot, and a lively dance song starts. Joel watches the two of you from the bar. God, your ass looks so good in those jeans. They fit perfectly, sculpting your hips and figure so well that he can’t help but swoon over you. He watches as you and Tommy hold hands, swinging in circles like two teenagers. Tommy places the cowboy hat on your head and gives a loud, “YEEEEEEEEHAWWWWW,” across the bar. Joel laughs as you buckle over in a fit of giggles. Joel stands up, finishes his beer and slowly makes his way to you as the song comes to an end.

“Alright, give her back to me.” He says playfully, but you know part of him is serious. Tommy laughs and gives you a pat on your arm.

“Thanks, darlin’. If you get tired of my brother any time soon, you know where to find me.” He says and shuffles away laughing. Joel rolls his eyes and pulls you closer. The next song begins, the simple guitar strum taking him back to a simpler time. Harvest Moon by Neil Young plays overhead softly, and the two of you begin to sway along.

“That fuckin’ guy, I swear,” He says and you can’t help but laugh at him. He stares down at you, confused as to what you’re making such a fuss about. “What are you lookin’ at?” He asks.

“You are such a silly man, Joel Miller,” You say and smile at him. You grab the back of his neck to pull his face closer to yours. “There ain’t no man better than you. I want you. I am yours.” You say, and you take the cowboy hat from your head and place it on his. He chuckles and pulls you even closer, savoring the moment.

Because I’m still in love with you

I wanna see you dance again

Because I’m still in love with you

On this harvest moon

He leans down, cowboy hat slipping down his head, and gives you a slow kiss. The harmonica and guitar sing in the background. Everything feels perfect.

“My girl, I love you,” He says. He feels you smile against his lips, never taking yours away. “I love you, too.”

Because I’m still in love with you

I wanna see you dance again

Because I’m still in love with you

On this harvest moon

A/N: dividers by @saradika-graphics thanks so much!!

18 on the choose violence 😏

EDIT: As y'all may have guessed, my queue I was saving drafts of these in was running last night and I forgot to switch the time over so here's the real answer.

18 - It's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on: you want me to CHOOSE?!? You expect me to CHOOSE just ONE character from Sandman that the fandom sleeps on?!?!?!? Oh, jail for 1000 years - well let me spin the roulette wheel Rose and Jed.

ROSE. God I'm emotional about her. She's been through so much, the loss of her baby brother with a father who it's implied was not the nicest, lost her mother and her best friend in the same year, and she nearly destroyed the world but yknow what, she literally did nothing wrong here. She called Dream an asshole and totally got away with it. She's got gay hair and gayer friends (fellow bi!Rose truthers anyone???? Hello??? Someone else please discuss, queer people do all tend to flock together) and I hope she gets everything she wants.

I really want to explore the possibilities of a growing relationship with her and her immortal family sometime. Morpheus isn't just going to forget about her and Jed and him looking out for her baby brother is the only way I can see her kind of starting to warm up to him again. Like I WANT to see that weird tense but possibly loving relationship explored. Dream clearly respected her intelligence and wanted to give her more information (even if he was also using her to find the Corinthian which. Not cool).

(Also I think she'd go NUTS for the library of Dreams. Like she's a writer and suddenly she's seeing all the books never published?? Who wouldn't want to read them all?)

I have feelings about the parallels between her and Death. Plus I have a hc as some of my friends already know, that in one of Rose's low moments Despair finds her and something about the fact that this girl is family tugs at her. She has her function and her duties but she also has a sense of loyalty. So that could cause some seriously juicy potential internal conflict for her AND Rose honestly kind of needs an outlet for her bottled up grief and the weightof responsibility she feels. For Jed, for Lyta and her son...feel free to ask or dm me if you want to know more this post is already long enough xD

(And the fact that in a series where she's ONE OF THE MAIN FUCKING CHARACTERS for multiple episodes of this series she gets so much less attention ON HER OWN SELF - I'm talking art and fic overall PERIOD, let alone stuff where she gets any interiority of her own or her character taken seriously is just. I don't even know man)

jED. My precious baby boy my son. I want to give him a hug. I want to wrap him in a warm blanket and give him cocoa and as much popcorn as he wants. Dream's reaction to Jed was in fact channeling me. This kid has been through too much and he deserves to live a happier life with his sister, so thank God he's gonna get it.

(But also does anyone wanna talk to me about the fact that Jed is a possible candidate for Dream's successor when he's older and might be even more viable than MASSIVE COMIC SPOILER ALERT Daniel Hall and all the ways this could complicate things HELLO.)

Miranda Walker - either the gif search function is broken which isn't beyond the realm of possibility here, or I couldn't find one gif of her in this show. And I KNOW people have made them I just can't find one...sigh

But I really want her to get more attention because her story is so potentially fascinating even if she barely got any screen time. Like this girl is the granddaughter of Desire, that must've massively impacted her life. I want to know how she dealt with the relationship with her children's father going sour and him taking Jed away and her struggling to raise her kids.

And last but certainly not least drumroll please...UNITY. That's right we're giving the whole Walker-Kincaid family some love!!

HER. The queen the legend the moment.

Her story man...it gets me emotional every time. She could've had a life in the waking world. I really want to see more about what her dream life (which we know she experienced as real, with time passing and all, because of the things she said about it) was like. Even without Desire, how did she handle basically growing up in Wonderland surrounded by dreams? (I can't take credit for the Alice in Wonderland vibes that was @violetoftheendless 's great idea.) Did she make friends and a new found family there? Did she see signs she didn't understand at the time of dreams and nightmares falling into chaos and eventually leaving the realm in a slow trickle?

But also she's just such a genuinely lovely person. She took Rose into her heart without a second thought and was prepared to take Jed - I'm sure she didn't know how much more time she had but she knew she didn't have forever, and she wanted a family again and she'd lost her own parents long ago and never gotten to say goodbye...and the kicker is, unlike in the comic where she's basically on her deathbed already, she COULD have possibly lived a little longer. But she chose to sacrifice her new life to save Rose's. If this woman doesn't deserve the Spirit of Love label like I've seen in some truly beautiful meta from @windsweptinred I don't know who does. BUT ALSO she's not a perfect inhuman angel either, she is capable of being charmed by the Corinthian, which - looking around at the fandom, one can see she's not alone so I for one can't blame her too much, but also she met the king of dreams and nightmares and within less than 5 minutes called him a himbo to his face. She's beautifully human with icon behavior and Sandra James-Young deserves all the credit in the world for this role.

#rose walker #jed walker #unity kincaid #miranda walker #choose violence ask game #the sandman #me banging pots and pans together in delight going ROSE AND JED AND UNITY ARE ALL THE BEST CHARACTERS AND I WILL DIE FOR THEM AND YOURE ALL #GONNA HEAR ABOUT IT thanks for giving me the excuse :) not that I need one

I noticed your call for hc ideas, so I’ll throw one your way!

Ei x a reader who was born mortal during the Archon War, but somehow became immortal? Maybe something about the reader being there for her after Khaenri’ah?

I’m in love with this idea. I actually have a private idea of mine that is slightly related to the characters becoming immortal maybe I’ll share it at a later date!

Request are still open but the Golden Archipelago event is making me feel a bit inspired for possible Mona content!

Miko’s age is around 500 I think but I added a couple of years so she would be before khaenri’ah

Sorry this has been in my drafts for like at least a month maybe more. This is only part 1 I explain the reading at the end of the story.

Have fun reading!!!

~

You had heard about the Archons fighting

Your family was careful to pick a god named Makoto to go under for safety

You had never seen her fight or even knew what she looked liked

You lived most of your life the war but a minor thought in your head

It wasn’t till the age of 12 when you heard someone yelling at something in the trees that you even bothered to find out more of the archons…

“Miko your being a real bitch!”

You were quite taken aback by the language that was reserved for adults, this girl… She sounded like a child

A girl with purple hair and eyes was looking up at a very proud pink fox

You never saw a fox before but the expression on its face made it look like it was smirking

‘Could foxes even smirk?!’

The fox was on a branch of the tree which was barely holding her up

But the fox seemed calm as ever looking like cat who caught a mouse

“Do you need help getting your fox? I can get one of the elders from the village to help.”

The fox and the girl turned to look at you.

“That won’t be needed. Miko is just doing this to get me worked up. Giving her more attention will only encourage her.”

“You know, your not supposed to use curse words.”

“I’m older than I look.”

“I call bull.”

“Bull?”

“It means I think what your saying is fake.”

“I have no reason not to tell the truth”

“Yeah you do! You don’t want to get in trouble! But don’t worry I won’t say a word!”

The girl blinked a bit and waited for a prolonged second.

“Good.”

“So how do we get your cat down?”

“Miko isn’t a cat she’s a Kitsune.”

“Im going to call her a cat until she stops acting like a cat.”

The fox jumped down from the tree at that moment turning into a girl about 5 years old pink ears and tail she looked at you with a frown

‘Could foxes even frown?’

She walked over to the purple haired girl and grabbed her chest

“Give me the sword.”

‘THE FUCK’

Nothing happened thank the archons but you invited the two to your home for some snacks

They were hesitant but agreed after seeing you silently beg for around 10 minutes.

The fact they enjoyed spending time with you surprised them even more.

You gave them some fruit and water but you spent most of the time talking and playing with the few mortal games you had.

“Would you like to play cards?”

“Cards?”

“I know a few. But If you don’t like that I have a board game me a the kids in the village made. It’s a game where you have to collect 7 gems that are represented with chest pieces. But there are obstacles to try and stop you that you need to over come by setting up the correct strategy.”

“I’m very smart I’m sure I would win.”

“Like I would lose to a cat!”

You guys had a lot of fun playing.

You and ei teamed up to steal the orange chess piece and the turquoise chess piece.

But Miko ended stealing the purple chess piece without you noticing and ended up tricking one of you and Ei’s most helpful pawns

But it soon came to sun down and they had to go back home before the monsters came out.

“I did not expect Miko to kill the fire moth.”

“Fire moth?”

“Yeah that’s our code name for the pawn you killed.”

“The one that had fire and ice powers?”

“Yeah but her real name was Rose”

“You guys certainly had fun brainstorming you little team.”

“Yeah it was fun. But you were so cool with that manoeuvre you did to get the purple chess piece.”

“Yes stealing our pawn to use for your scheme was a good idea Miko.”

“I think we named that pawn scarlet scara for short.”

You said goodbye and asked them to visit you when they could

You watched them head back into the woods and you went to bed very happy that day

You had so much fun.

Ei visited you first.

She came in the morning waking you up basket in hand.

“Where are we going?”

“It’s not to far you’ll see soon.”

The two of you walked to a mountain. There Ei took the basket she was carrying and took out snacks.

“I thought it would only be right for me to repay you by sharing some of my snacks I have at home.”

“This is your home?”

Ei got a laugh out of that.

“This is better than home. It’s calm. Near my home there is always fighting.”

“Like parent issues?”

“No… I don’t know why but I feel inclined to tell you this. Maybe you have put something in the food.”

“Everything was picked from trees!”

“Haha!! You are different than most humans. I myself am not human though. I’m a god who is supposed to protect humans. But us Gods are fighting and there is little times of peace. Somehow I seem to forget all of when I’m with you.”

“Ei I want to know you. I want to be friends with you really badly… Meet me at my house next week and I can show you a place near the village.”

“I suppose the others will not notice if I’m not gone for too long.”

“I’ll see you next week.”

-

End of part 1

A/N: this has taken me forever and it has been hard because school just started up again for me. Also I got carried away with what was supposed to be head cannons so I’m splitting it in two. The second part will tackle more Archon war stuff but I felt like I needed to have them develop a relationship. I will try to get part 2 done in a timely manor but please be patient.

———

Part 2 is up!!! You can see it on the masterlist!

If you’re looking for prompts - Steve/Bucky/selfcest SELFCEST SELFCEST

Selfcest anon with more thoughts - I’ve been sunk in my head about two baby subs being talked through worshipping their daddy’s cock. In that vein, imagine - prewar Steve and Bucky popping into the present, Steve and Bucky built like they are in Infinity War. Pre!Steve in awe of this godlike version of himself (and shamefully turned on); pre!Bucky ready to drop to his knees as soon as he sees him. Steve doesn’t want to admit how much he wants to wreck their younger selves, but Bucky knows his man well, and while Steve is on a mission he seduces their younger selves by talking them through what Steve does to him. What Steve could do to THEM. And when Steve comes home, sweaty and tense and hoping their past selves are asleep so maybe he can convince Bucky to give him a suckjob before passing out - he finds the three of them waiting for him, the past selves looking nervous, his Bucky gleaming. “Sit down baby. I’m gonna watch them take care of you. Neither of them have done it much, so they’ll probably need some help…” (Their past selves losing themselves in licking and sucking and choking themselves on Steve’s cock and balls where he sits on the couch, older Bucky lounging at Steve’s side and sucking his neck and playing with his younger self’s hair, egging them on; Steve pulling past Steve and Bucky one under each arm and tossing them on the bed with their heads hanging off so he can alternate fucking their throats and watching the snot and drool and precum drip into their eyes while his Bucky works their cocks and eats them out until he can fuck his past self while fingering pre!Steve open for his Steve to take alongside him…..)

Oh my god...

This is incredible. I have had this ask in my drafts for... weeks.

And I have been trying to do something with it. Write something for it. But with all the Steves and Buckys and all that mental image... I keep coming up delightfully blank. Just. Head full. But, no words. No words that can be understood.

What an incredible image.

Boys on boys on boys on boys

Do imagine, though, older Steve leaned back on the couch, his legs spread wide, his cock throbbing and impossibly hard between them, while, exactly, his younger self and the younger Bucky go to town on his cock and balls.

Younger Steve is slurping at his balls, getting them wet and slippery and rubbing them all over his face. Younger Bucky is choking on his cock, red in the face with tears dripping down his cheeks, running toward his swollen, wet, stretched lips. Meanwhile... Bucky, older Bucky, is behind the couch, leaning toward Steve, whispering in his ear. Alternatingly carding his hands through Steve's hair and grabbing Steve's bearded jaw, forcing him to look down at their younger counterparts. Reminding him how eager they are to please him. To worship him. They've got plans, too. They're gonna stretch lil Stevie wide for his cock. Do you think it'll fit? Shit, Stevie can't even fit it in his mouth, so how's it gonna go in his sweet little hole? Gonna tear him apart. Leave him gaping. Younger Bucky and himself will have a go after Steve gets to fuck himself, cumming in him, filling himself up. Bucky and Bucky, both fucking little Steve. His fucked out hole throbbing and twitching weakly around two thick cocks. How'd Steve like it if they lay little Stevie on his chest, limp and fucked-out but still moaning for it like a proper cock whore. He'll be shaking for it and still wanting more. Stevie feather light on his big chest, face first in his big tits.

Thank you for these thoughts 🥴🥴 Sorry this isn't longer but, you scrambled my brain!

@badthingshappenbingo Prompt: Take Me Instead

TW: Mayoi-typical self deprecation/self dehumanizing behavior

OKAY before you get started it is very debatable whether this actually fits the prompt or not! I am so sorry, I genuinely could NOT think of ideas without having to come up with an establish some kind of au! If this does not fit the prompt, I could try again if wanted! I am sincerely sorry!

You can also read this on AO3!

“I think we did rather well today.” Tatsumi speaks up, zipping his bag shut.

-----

Mayoi can still feel his heart beating rapidly. The show ended about 5 minutes ago, but he can still feel the energy of the crowd as they pack up and leave. Along with the other members of Alkaloid, he was getting changed and collecting his stuff.

“I think so too!” Hiiro cheers. Mayoi and Aira nod in agreement.

“Do you guys still want to go to that restaurant afterwards?” Aira asks, wiping off his makeup.

“Of course.” Tatsumi replies.

“We wouldn't want to waste our reservation, fufu~” Mayoi smiles. He doesn't deserve to be in a group with such pure people, but it does feel nice to have calm moments like these.

After he finishes packing up, he looks over at Aira, who seems to be frantically searching his bag.

“Aira-san, what's wrong?” Mayoi asks, leaning over to see the inside of his junior's bag.

After a few more moments of searching, Aira speaks up. “I can't find the makeup palette that Narukami-senpai let me borrow! I promise I'd give it back to her after the show! I remember putting it back in here after I used it!”

Hiiro walked over to Aira. “Do you need help finding it, Aira?”

The blond looks up at Hiiro. “Yes please.”

“How about this,” Tatsumi starts. “Me and Mayoi-san will make our way to the restaurant, so that we don't lose those reservations, and Hiiro-san can help Aira-san find the makeup palette. Then, you two can meet us there.”

Hiiro smiles up at Tatsumi. “That works, Tatsumi-senpai! We'll see you there!”

After a moment, the two older Alkaloid members head out of the backstage area, walking towards the new restaurant that opened recently.

“Fufu~ You did very well tonight, Tatsumi-san.” Mayoi breaks the silence. Tatsumi smiles at Mayoi, grabbing his hand.

“Thank you, Mayoi-san. You did as well.”

Mayoi’s smile was slightly shaky, but overall grateful. A bug like him doesn't deserve to be praised by such a holy person like Tatsumi. But… Tatsumi seems so genuine, that Mayoi can't find it in himself to deny it.

The two continue to walk silently, still hand in hand. All that could be heard were the sounds of the early evening. It calms down any adrenaline Mayoi may have still had from the show.

It was when they were about one block away from the restaurant that they heard an excited squeal. Then, a group of 2 girls approaches them.

“Oh my God!! Mayoi Ayase and Tatsumi Kazehaya!!” The first one cheers. “We're such big fans!! We saw the show today, it was amazing!!”

The second one, without any warning, slings her arm over Mayoi's shoulders. Mayoi flinches slightly, but the person doesn't budge. “I’m such a big fan, Mayoi-san! You've been my favorite since Alkaloid debuted!”

He squirms slightly under the fan’s arm, but she doesn't notice. Tatsumi does, and tries to pull Mayoi away from her. It doesn't succeed, and Mayoi notices the first fan look down at the two idols’ conjoined hands.

“Nao, look! I told you they had something going on!”

Now with hands that are starting to shake, Mayoi pulls his hand away from Tatsumi’s. Tatsumi opens his mouth to speak, but the second fan, Nao, beats him to it.

“Oh my god!! I told you, Minako!!” She leans closer to Mayoi, her arm still wrapped around his shoulders. The first girl, Minako, also approaches Mayoi.

“So long has it been?”

“Have you guys kissed?”

“Do you ever plan to tell the public?”

“I've been shipping you two since the beginning!”

Mayoi can feel his hands start to shake even more. The girls are too close, they're asking too many questions, they're so loud. All Mayoi wants to do is to yell at them, tell them to stop.

But that would be rude, would it not? What if the girls told people about it? Wouldn't that bring negative attention to Alkaloid?

So he just stands these, frozen under Nao's arm and the girls’ questions. His breathing shudders slightly as he continues to shake.

“Excuse me, you two.” Tatsumi speaks up. Mayoi can feel the fan’s arm be taken off his shoulder. “Mayoi-san is obviously uncomfortable. Please back up.”

Despite him staring at his feet, Mayoi can hear the fans back up.

“If you have any questions, you can take them up with me instead.”

“Really?” Minako asks, looking over at Tatsumi.

“Yes, I can.” He answers. He looks over at Mayoi, mouthing something at him.

‘Start going to the restaurant. I'll meet you there.’

Mayoi nods, scurrying off. The rest of the walk to the restaurant goes by in a blur, and he soon finds himself in front of the restaurant. He sits on one of the benches outside of the restaurant. He can't find it in himself to go in.

As always, he was totally useless. He couldn't say a single word to those fans. He had to make Tatsumi step in. He shouldn't have had to do that, but Mayoi was just so worthless, so helpless, that he couldn't do a thing.

After a moment (it could have been just a couple minutes, or half an hour, Mayoi couldn't tell), he hears footsteps approaching him. He looks up to see Tatsumi looking at him, brows furrowed in concern.

“...Mayoi-san. Are you okay?”

Mayoi doesn't know how to answer. He's already scum for making Tatsumi worry about him this much, he can't make it worse.

Tatsumi sits down on the bench next to Mayoi, placing his hands on top of Mayoi's.

“I didn't tell them anything, if that helps. I asked them to reconsider their behavior and refused to answer any of their questions about us.”

“...Thank you Tatsumi-san.”

The two sit in silence for a moment before Mayoi takes his hands away from Tatsumi’s, covering his face.

“I'm sorry! I was so useless! I'm sorry you have to be with someone so pathetic that you had to stand up for me! I can't do anythiiing!”

“Mayoi-san.” Tatsumi pulls Mayoi into a hug, rubbing his back. “You were overwhelmed, and those fans overstepped boundaries. You don't need to apologize.”

Mayoi doesn't deserve this comfort. He knows that. But the affection feels so nice. He leans into the touch.

“Would you like to go to the dorms? Those girls already made us late to the reservation, so I could call Aira and tell them to go straight home with Hiiro.”

“...Are you sure?”

Tatsumi lets go of the hug and stands up. He gently helps Mayoi stand up.

“I am. Let's go home.”

Book 2 update! Here's all the chapters I've got so far. It's almost as long as book 1 already, and I'm not even CLOSE to done yet- but still going at a very good pace. The first draft might be done by the end of this year if I can keep this up (here's hoping!)

The chapters you see with either (E) or (R) by them are chapters in either Ryan or Ellie's perspective (I shouldn't have to explain to you which are which...) I was having trouble making Ellie and Ryan relevant to the thanks to how isolated Albin is for most of the plot, so sometimes when something happens to Albin in his perspective- or he just goes to bed for the night, it'll switch over to one of the subplots involving either Ryan or Ellie as they look for him.

And that's about it!

...

...Huh?

What do you mean what are those three chapters that say "REMOVE ME!"?

Well, I guess there's really no way to hide those, is there? These three chapters are left over from the version of the book 2 I was writing back around winter of last year- the last version before I switched away from google documents. I think the 3rd of these chapters was actually the last writing I did in google documents before I switched, and therefor the last I did during class. This was around the time where I made a massive, final, tonal shift to book 1 to make it just a little bit darker, and before book 2 got a major plot rework.

However, neither of these things are the reason these chapters are going to be removed- they're all part of a flashback sequence for a side character, and it dragged on a bit too long- and I also didn't know how to progress for the 3rd chapter because I was honest to god sick and tired of writing it and just wanted to get back to the actual plot (I can only imagine how a reader would feel...) Not only that, everything that happens in these has been completely retconned. The only reason they're still here really is because I thought I'd be able to salvage some of the writing I did for them for somewhere else, the reason I often keep in chapters like this- but that definitely isn't the case if none of it is canon anymore.

I think this revision I might finally get around to removing them, since their only other purpose is to draw a clear line between where my current writing is and where the dumb outdated version of the plot is. Which- to give you an idea in that older version Albin's siblings somehow find him down in the 9th layer of hell. Which might sound reasonable, until you consider that in that version, Albin ventures outside in his normal clothing... in the current version, he ventures outside in a heated spacesuit. To say it hardly makes sense anymore, especially considering recent plot changes, would be an understatement. Anyways it's 4:30 in the morning I should go to bed.

Sending hugs always!

42. How do you feel about love triangles?

43. What do you do if/when characters don’t follow the outline?

44. How much research do you do?

45. How much world building do you do?

46. Do you reread your own stories?

47. Best way to procrastinate

48. What’s the most self-insert character/scene you’ve ever written?

49. Which character would you most want to be friends with, if they were real?

Please and thank you!

Hello again!! (From this writing ask game)

42. How do you feel about love triangles?

I'm not the kind of person who finds a single trope unredeemable. Generally speaking, I don't like love triangles that much. However, that does not mean they can't be done well, or well written. It usually has less to do with the trope itself and how a lot of people execute it.

I feel like they work better when it's less of the "Hot Boy A and Hot Boy B oh no which should I choose???" thing everyone got tired of. Especially when there is a rivalry going on between A and B.

Sometimes it's done where it feels more authentic, of liking two people. Or maybe they're love interests at different times.

Idk I'm not gonna be turned off of something if it has a love triangle but it is hard (not impossible) to find one where I'm not at least a little annoyed.

43. What do you do if/when characters don’t follow the outline?

I change the outline! I need an outline to function so I know what to write, but I'm always happy whenever the characters go off on their own because it usually results in me changing the outline for the better. I love figuring things out or things falling into place. Also, it usually happens when I'm becoming less confident in a plotline and wondering how I'm gonna make it work, then the characters go off and do something else and I'm like "ohhhhh that's how I fix it!"

44. How much research do you do?

As much as I need, but I mainly do it as I go. A character experiences something I've never experienced? Ok time to look that up. A character is interested in something I'm not? Ok time to look that up.

A couple things related to world building for example. Like I'm trying to science superpowers so I need to look up how to science superpowers, especially since a lot of people have figured it out already.

45. How much world building do you do?

As much as I need to and maybe some more because I don't think everything can make it in. For TSP the answer is a lot.

I'm now working on the power database of my world Alium because I need the foundational work to even explain it. It's a little vague right now, and I want it to be less vague and arbitrary. It must make sense, and I'm making it make sense. But it is taking FOREVER. I'm having fun though.

I do need to work more on world building in general after this even. A lot of stuff I have is a little vague because I've only done stuff as needed. But a lot of things are becoming needed. Sigh. Anyways. I'm figuring it out.

46. Do you reread your own stories?

All the time. I have some good stuff! Also, I like rereading stuff that I wrote a long time ago to see what ideas I had I can recycle, but also to see how much I've grown as a writer.

TSP isn't exactly something I can reread because I'm working so much on it, but SOTL I have reread, and same for older Drafts of TSP. Haven't reread Draft Four. I probably should at some point, it's just long.

However I tried to read the MCU fanfic I wrote when I was fifteen and I couldn't make it through. It was painful. Maybe some day.

47. Best way to procrastinate

Tumblr. Obviously.

But to be fair the amount of tag games and asks I get is actually allowing me to explore stuff I never considered, so the procrastinating is actually quite helpful.

48. What’s the most self-insert character/scene you’ve ever written?

Oh god.

The most self-insert character was Draft Four Lexi or Anahi from an older version of SOTL.

Scene? Back in my MCU obsession days I got into an argument with a boy who claimed I only liked the MCU for the hot guys and was surprised when I had like...non-stereotypical fifteen year old girl opinions (as in, I wasn't straight) and I wrote that into TSP. It's gone now thank God.

49. Which character would you most want to be friends with, if they were real?

I love my OCs I have to pick one???

I want Robbie and Akash to be my friends because they're just so much fun! They make me laugh and I love them. I know that I had to pick one but these two are a package set.

Thanks so much for the asks! This was fun!

Hi!!! I love your One For Sorrow stories - your writing is incredible!! If you're still doing the Valentine's Day shorts, could I request one for either Perc'ahlia in the M9 (early-ish campaign as I'm still watching it) or anything Gilmore/Vax/Keyleth? Thanks!! <3

Hey anon! Thank you so much, you made my day! <33

This is some Gilmore/Vax/Keyleth, though focused more on Kiki and Gil because I had an Idea and this could be part of a bigger fic! Sorry it's... a lil angsty, because Whoops!

Scanlan has been breathing again for maybe fifteen, twenty minutes when Keyleth finds Gilmore.

“He’s alive again,” she says before he can ask. And then she tosses a tooth on the coffee table.

Gilmore is unusually quiet as he picks it up and turns it over. The root is puckered with craters from Melora’s devouring curse, but the enamel otherwise did a good job of resisting long enough for Keyleth to collect a few handfuls.

“... The groove near the point is intriguing,” Gilmore murmurs. He runs a thumb lightly over the serrated inner edge. Hissing when it cleaves a neat red line in the meat. “Am I to assume the owner was venomous?”

“This was Raishan’s.”

His eyes widen. Which, fair: as stunted as she was from her disease, Raishan was still an ancient green. Was - it feels so good to put her in past tense. She had massive fangs that could fit neatly to Keyleth’s forearm. Those were too big to pry out in a rush. A blessing, then, that the monster had a second set of teeth along the palate.

Mostly used them for talking, until she couldn’t - it was those claws that did the dirty work. It’s those that killed Percy. And Scanlan.

It’s… that’s another thing she can leave behind in the past. Her friends, dead, again.

Which is why she’s here.

“I have seven more,” says Keyleth. “Dragonbone is inherently magical, right? And Raishan could cast, too.”

Gilmore nods. “What are you looking to do with them?”

Keyleth’s chest rattles with her sigh. “I don’t - I don’t know, Gil! Something! She killed them, and everyone keeps dying, and I - I just don’t want it to happen again.” She crumples onto the couch beside him.

Carefully, he loops an arm over her shoulder. Not like she might break, but like she might buck him off. They haven’t had much of a chance to talk, since she and Vax and he and Vax and whatever that made she and he. It was a lot. Everything was a lot. Lots of a lot.

“I’m not quite the person to stay death,” Gilmore hums, a touch wry. “But - hm. I’m pretty sure I can make something of this that can help.”

There’s quiet as, one-handed, he spins the fang. His bloody thumb draws two runes, drafts or ideas maybe, before it tires of bleeding. With his other he rubs soothing circles into Keyleth’s shoulder. It’s nice.

She can’t let it stay nice. Scanlan was dead. Percy was dead. A couple of days ago Scanlan and Vex were dead. And before that Percy was dead. And before that -

“You know - you know -” Keyleth stops herself. It takes a few more passes of Gilmore’s fingers before she finds breath to continue. “Vax and I. I mean - we’re the only ones who haven’t died yet. And I don’t - I don’t know when that luck will run out, Gil.”

“Darling, I doubt the gods themselves could strike you down,” he declares. “As for Vax’ildan…” Now his strokes stutter.

“I’ll get these done.” Promised instead, because they both know what Vax is like. Death dances with him, moth to a flame, forever unclear which is which until something stops moving. Maybe here it’s the light-lustful bug that will snuff out its damnation. Maybe.

Keyleth struggles to swallow. “Thanks, Gil. Do you mind if I just -”

“Not at all,” Gilmore chuckles, and they hug and stare at the tooth. Turning, so slowly, it’s hard not to see the blood far older than the sorcerer’s embedded in its serrations.

(Scanlan, or Percy, or maybe her own?)

#critical role #cr fanfic #critical role fanfic #shaun gilmore #keyleth #keyleth of the air ashari #keyleth/vax/gilmore #keyleth x vax x gilmore #vaxlethmore #vaxgileth #idk what to call them HELP #also god i am so!! about the fact Kiki had Gilmore make the dragon tooth necklaces.#and looking at when she'd have had time to talk to him about it.... yeaahhhh #ask game #my writing

Happy STS! Do you hide any secrets in your writing that only a few people will find?

Happy STS (a day late but. It's my birthday so I'll answer now) and thanks for the ask!! I love this question a lot cause YES. Most of the time, it's Easter eggs regarding other books in my world, but sometimes not. Off the top of my head, a few I remember for ASMLP are:

During a chapter where Nadia is *ahem* coerced into doing her Divination and Mysticism homework, Dakota and Maka from TWEfA are very briefly referenced (they will be a lil more next draft)

In general regarding the city of Idune there's a lot of references both to TWEfA and a couple older projects

In general, as a Hellenic Polytheist, I like dropping references to gods I worship. In ASMLP, this honor goes to Nadia's cat Dio, whose name is an unsubtle nod to Dionysus

There is some important medical information Nadia gets earlier on and the way it is spun has very specific imagery attached to it that so far only one beta reader has commented on. It made my day tbh

The book as a whole comes full circle from prologue to epilogue but in a very. Very subtle way. I actually need to make it a lil more obvious

There's a particular way that Nadia's narration is wrote as a reflection of her character, and the way this narration is wrote makes very subtle shifts as Simone gains more of an influence on her. At one point, she directly calls it out, so it's not SECRET but. It is intentional and pretty subtle--I'd say

These are all the ones I can think of RIGHT NOW but I know there's more. I put a lot of thought into this book tbh.

Thanks for the ask!!

‘CLOSET PUN’ - Excerpt #10

Juniper: The Witch Draft 1

[Excerpt below the cut!]

“Do you know Sarah Proctor?”

Ms Pelham looked at her with borderline disdain. Junie only smiled. It was the kindest look she knew how to give. With everyone else, it was simply pure disdain. Totally different. “Why do you ask that, Juniper?”

She didn’t mind being called Juniper. It was the name she’d chosen, after all. But she still wasn’t used to being referred to by any kind of full name. “I heard the name - in conversation the other day. I can’t remember who it was. I thought I knew everything about this place that I could find.”

Ms Pelham softened just slightly at this - meaning the curl of her lip reduced by a fraction. “Sarah Proctor was a close friend of Alice Fay.”

“Of Alice Fay. Yes.” She wracked her brains. God, she could have paid more attention when learning all this.

“The lady who passed this house to our own Ms Faulkner, dear. Honestly. Were you awake in your history classes at all?”

“It’s a lot to remember,” she tried, giving her best performance of sheepishness. “Sorry. So, did she live here?”

“Oh yes, for quite some time, I believe. There may be accounts of her in the Fays’ journals. But why so curious?”

“Well, it’s like you said. I wasn’t paying enough attention during classes, and I feel like I should show more about them.” She shrugged. “It’s thanks to Alice Fay I even get to be here, isn’t it?”

Ms Pelham clicked her tongue, clicked her fingers and beckoned for Junie to follow her along the dusty shelves. They walked as the books grew older, more weathered, less read.

“She never had any children, did she?”

“Of course not, why do you think she passed this house to Headmistress Faulkner in the first place?”

“So, where her and Sarah-” She stopped, wondering how best to phrase this. Not that she had any cause to worry. No one around here was shy about showing their affections. “Just close friends?”

Ms Pelham turned to her with a wicked smile. “I suppose that’s up to interpretation, isn’t it?”

“It’s not my business, I was just asking.”

“Of course, dear.” They reached the darkest corner of the library where she was sure even Toby and Jet hadn’t reached. Everything looked ready to collapse, though when Ms Pelham lifted one of the weathered old books from the shelf, it seemed sturdy enough in her hands. “Only one out at a time, dear. You can read them all at once in here if you like, though if you can manage that, I’d be impressed.”

“No, it’s alright. Just one will be fine for now. Thank you.”

Should she get the others to check out the other two journals at once, or would that be too suspicious? Ms Pelham was obsessed with Jet; she’d let him get away with anything. Maybe he’d be able to slip one out without attracting too many questions. But the others, she wasn’t so sure.

Still, this would do for now. She held it tight in her arms as she made her way to the counter to sign it out.

More on Closet Pun here! Leave an ask or a comment to be added to the taglist.

Just finally trying to explain my weird relationship(s) with spirits

--

So I could never figure out how to say this in a non-awkward way, considering my more pressing issues, but the Water-Spirit is not straight. Like at all.

I mentioned somewhere that Loki once rage-kissed him to try and get a reaction out of him, because the Water-Spirit is constantly treated as more powerful than he tells me or even believes about himself, due to the whole "colonization has isolated him and wrecked his mental well-being" problem (and since he’s technically a giant squid, that makes a LOT of sense in hindsight as to why the other gods decided not to question him TOO much about his identity).

--

Haik Number Four does not care about being "straight" or not, either. When he was thinking over the whole mess of "yeah, the Water-Spirit has TECHNICALLY been impersonating Haik, but he was a GREAT imposter!", he also told me, "Well, if none of the other anito are going to claim you, I suppose I will."

And I was like "I don't know if you're the actual Haik, but thank you."

The Water-Spirit got nervous and said, "Yes, okay, Ama. You remember that she wrote all the poems and the novel-draft about you? I'm not going to stop you if you want a relationship with her, but I just want you to be kind to her--"

Haik Number Four was alarmed/insulted and went, "Why do you think I'm TAKING her?! Do you think I'm a Spaniard, to treat women like cattle?!" And he just went, "well, I can't just leave you on your own. You're both mine now."

And I was like, "Thank you, Haik Number Four, but... that sounds extremely bisexual."

And Haik Number Four was like "Mahal, Tagalog spirits aren't Catholic. We don't pay attention to GENDER or that kind of shit. And HE is a trickster. He loves you, but he's as straight as Dionysus."

And I was like, "oh, yeah. Other husband?"

I also mentioned at some point that I have a couple of spirit-"husbands" like Dionysus, but they don't use "wife" in the MARITAL sense, but more like "devotee."

Sometimes I forget that me and Dionysus are even "married." Like... immediately after he asked me about it, Dionysus went for weeks on end just dropping into my meditations and acting like a drunk roommate/friend, but when he's SOBER, he is surprisingly nice and can act suspiciously like a therapist.

He still barely sounds like he's involved with me, at least until a pushy male spirit won't leave me alone. Then Dionysus comes in with his metaphorical guns blazing, and he may or may not fucking suplex him, while ordering him to "GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY WIFE."

So ever since Hera told me that she considers me and the Water-Spirit "basically married, but one of you has a shitty memory and you're both extremely depressed/traumatized," Dionysus apparently thinks that was a long time overdue. What with all my yearning poetry about the-guy-I-thought-was-Haik, and how I wrote a whole novel draft about a Filipino woman being married to Haik across different lifetimes. He's just started going hog-wild with affectionately calling the Water-Spirit "Other Husband." Not "YOUR Other Husband," just "Other Husband."

He also finds it a blast to call me "OUR wife," as the classic communist-Bugs-Bunny meme is often used.

That makes our relationship effectively open, because to make a VERY long story short: The Water-Spirit and I are the "main/regular(???) couple," and Dionysus says he considers himself my "backup/supporting(???) husband."

There's a thin line between "a god" and "a powerful spirit," but it's definitely there. Sometimes Dionysus has gotten nature-spirits to just STOP what they're doing and leave, even reluctantly. Once he comes in and tells them "Hello, I am an Olympian and that lady over there's my other wife. I will fuck you up if you keep bothering her," they just automatically go.

Unless the person he's telling to shove off is 1) an older/more-powerful god, or 2) a nature-spirit of Shark's caliber, who is incredibly old and is “set apart from human-and-deity matters.” (Shark has called him a "godling," but I don't know if that's because his mother is mortal and he's ‘technically a demigod,’ or because he's ‘youthful’ as ‘the hot twenty-something-year-old who parties a lot.’)

The Morrigan is my patron, but while she is really good at fighting or booting threats out of my headspace, she does not always have the patience to get me out of danger because as a goddess of warfare, she tends to go "FIGHT NOW, QUESTIONS LATER." That means Dionysus ends up being the one who escorts/hauls me out of places, as he once had to do when Shark decided to just start tearing the Not-Children out of me.

--

Another spirit-husband who I will only name in this paragraph for clarity is a Bear-Spirit. I usually call him the Bruin becauuuuuuuse I am playing it safe and not using the proper word too often. His exact species varies, but he's always some form of "brown bear." Sometimes he looks like a grizzly, sometimes he looks like a European brown bear, and other times he looks like a fucking massive cave-bear.

He can shapeshift into a mostly European-looking man with pale skin, brown eyes, and long and shaggy brown hair, but like... he's Not Human at the end of the day. His eyes have No Understanding or sapience in them like a god or a human (and sometimes I just see endless caverns in them, like I see the ocean abyss in the Water-Spirit's eyes). Sometimes he doesn't even bother shapeshifting some clothes on besides "draping his real form's pelt around like a cloak/skirt," so trying to lock down his "ethnicity" is futile.

And like, I just want people to know that this has all slowly accumulated over ten or so years, and trying to write it all down is as much for myself as it is for whoever is reading this.

Hi! Currently catching up on fanfics and I was wondering why there are so few about mileven aged up/adulthood/parenthood ? The few (and there are some really good ones who depict them really well and are realistic, but there are just a few) that I read are so heartwarming and satisfying given the fact that it’s their ultimate goal you know ? So yes they are growing up and going to share their firsts milestones together as a couple and their first time, being intimate is just a natural evolution of them and it’s such a beautiful step to a relationship like theirs. And so is Mike proposing to El, them marrying, founding their home and a family together. And somehow on Twitter for example you really have to walk on eggs with this topic… they aren’t 12 anymore for god sakes 🤦🏻‍♀️ When did ppl became so hypersensitive about this? I find it just hypocritical honestly… Idk what’s your take on this … if the subject makes you uncomfortable don’t feel obligated to answer, I’ll understand 😊

Thanks for your ask! Also was sitting in my drafts and hopefully whoever you are anon, you see this response! I have some thoughts and hopefully this will make sense lol but I feel like I'm about to be all over the place.

People are hypersensitive about them (Mileven and minor characters in general) being aged up? This is a tricky subject in some ways. I know some people may not have even fully even "shipped" Mileven (or even Lumax) until they were older because they were so young in the beginning, so there's that too lol.

My Stranger Things/Titanic AU "The Weight of Living" has the characters aged up, I think I have them around 19-21 because that's what the story calls for, I think, and in the movie, I believe Rose is 17 and Jack is 20 but I wanted El and Mike to remain close in age so I just made them legally adults. But my intention was just that it was easier to have them dealing, feeling and thinking more adult things/situations outside of sexual intimacy, which I still haven't decided if I'll tackle that since that's just not really my thing to write. But they couldn't be young teenagers because that's not the story I wanted to tell.

I've seen a lot of discourse over this for many years. There was a big thing in one of my Facebook nerd groups when this girl went on this weird rant about how "sexy" she thought Aang was from ALTA and calling him "daddy" and all that. It was a big debate about fictional characters and simping. As an adult, I don't simp for any "minor in age" character, they are my children lol that's it. A big example is like My Hero Academia when people call the students (Class 1A) their husbandos or whatever, but they are actively 15 years old, so I can't see them past that and they are my children lol. Same with like Gon and Killua, also why I don't generally ship kids either, unless the show leans into that. However, I have read some fics where the authors have aged up the characters to tackle more adult content and I don't particularly have a problem with it because I'm just enjoying the story about characters I enjoy, who I'll probably never see as adults in their respective medium.

I think the problem comes, for some people, is that, "oh you like this? With these characters aged up? that's weird, that's pedo behavior" which I think is really dangerous language to throw around. Or they're like "Oh, you only aged up these characters so you can... xyz". But they are fictional and the writer aged them up because that's the story they want to tell and them being adults or older teenagers (whatever) better suits the story.

Now, I do think there's a line. I know I generally won't read a fic that's labeled "underage" because that's uncomfy. Sometimes, I miss a tag or don't read them at all, just the summary and dive into a story and then I'm surprised (my own fault).

What I also think some people forget, is that teenagers are sexually active. I mean, we saw probably 16 year old Nancy have sex with a 17 year old Steve. She and Jonathan later had sex and we know that they did. I know it might be weirder with the party kids because we have watched them grow up from being 12-14 to adults and their characters are still teenagers... but I'm more bothered by people writing real life fanfictions than I am by them aging up characters.

So, idk, this was probably a whole bunch of a nothing answer lol but I can see why people are sensitive about it but I also see why some people are like "relax".

Idk lol

I'm very happy with the rambling answer for what it's worth 😭 MORE people should be prone to rambling TBH. What are we on earth for if not to ramble like I'm so serious.... But anyway. I wish I could write even half as good as you. And I say this with admiration like I hope that vibe is correctly communicated. As someone who's read not all but most of your fics esp the ongoing ones (abmb and 🐝charmer) I think your prowess as a writer has really grown. It's all about finding a balance between, like, the dialogue, the flow of said dialogue, the introspection of a character's mind that really only a written work can give you, and the description of wtf is going on. And this first chapter just HIT for some reason. I don't mean to make it seem like the other fics are lesser, it was just so noticeable to me that the quality of the actual writing seemed to have increased. But it still felt like YOU. Your writer's voice. Just more refined?? Idk. It really felt like you had found that sweet spot, that balance, more so than in the other fics. BUT I STILL READ THEM AND I LOVE THEM DEARLY! This is meant to be a compliment fr fr lol. And sorry if it's unnecessary but even though it's -just fanfiction- it's not Just Fanfiction . To Me . Because fanfiction is kind of everything isn't it. But not all of it is created equal and I think it should be ok to say that? I critique what I love and some of my favorite written works I've ever read have been fanfics. And just because something isn't That good doesn't mean that it doesn't deserve to shared y'know. I love the idea of kids writing things for other kids and so on and then we get older and older and more skilled. It's so cool and so beautiful. This has really gotten away from me lol.... Bet you did not expect yet another ask huh !!!! Fanfiction means so much to me and it wouldn't exist without the AUTHORS I think y'all are doing gods work. So thank you. I'm excited to watch you improve, for as long as you choose to share your stories with us. You don't have to respond of course, as always, but if you do read this I hope it made sense??

The vibe is so clearly communicated and I appreciate this SO MUCH like seriously the fact that anyone is even…THINKING about my writing like this is so beyond amazing to me and an honor fr. This feedback is endlessly cool because I never thought anyone would be reading what I was writing and I DEFINITELY didn’t expect to fall in love with writing so much like AT ALL. Which is my segue into saying I bet your writing is already better than you think AND that if you want to you can absolutely get it to a place you never even imagined. I’m inferring you write yj fic?? Maybe you just mean writing in general BUT that said, if you do write yj fic and you ever wanna talk about it you can ABSOLUTELY message me. I would not be ANYWHERE near where I’m at without the other fic writers that I’ve shared stuff with and learned from, whether it’s like sharing snippets of drafts or even just talking through ideas (mamaweeds, dollfaces, and shipmvn have totally changed my fic and my life for the better in a million ways, along with so many others) and I know it can be awkward or hard to reach out at first. Maybe you’re like lady I already have yj fic writer friends or you’re not interested lol but I just want to offer it because it’s been soooo positive for me <3 <3 anyway if you’re just on my blog don’t mind the paragraphs of convo but I really wanted to respond to this lovely anon!

Find the Word tag

I was tagged by @sleepyowlwrites to find the words read, rest, return, and run in my wips, with bonus words: retribution and revolve! This is my favourite tag game, thank you!

For the first set of words, I found them all in draft three of Essence of Stars (The Corvine book one)

read (appears 50 times in Essence of Stars)

Aurelie pulled out a sheet of paper. “This is a copy of the Word of the Raven,” she said. Mevrou Geheim nodded. “It was given to me by the Keepers.” “The barrier protects us from the other realm,” Aurelie read, “it protects us from ourselves and from others. It was created with great sacrifice, the loss of the Raven and four of the five who attended its creation. Their sacrifice made it what it is today.” His heartbeat quickened. This was why they travelled all this way. This was what they had been waiting for. Their chance to save the realm. “With great sacrifice,” Avenir echoed. His stomach dropped.

rest (appears 25 times)

Between cults that hurt kids like Helio and Avenir, and grandparents who sold their little boy… There was a fire sparking deep inside her. Cambridge had been born again in Stardust. She had stood in a garden and watched the world end. She had felt herself end with it. But she was still alive. Her heart pumped stars through her veins. The universe rested inside her chest, pressure building. Building to what she didn’t know. How much longer would she last when the broken world was trying to ignite her kindling heart with rage?

return (appears 36 times)

"What is that, exactly? The Word of the Raven?" Ivory asked. “In the legends-” he cut himself off, instead saying, “Lennox told us it’s essentially the last commands of the Raven as they died.” “Precisely. Though some believe they did not die that day on the mountain.” “It’s just a story, they didn’t actually turn into a bird and disappear,” Ivory protested. “That’s absurd.” They laughed, somewhat unkindly. “Just a story?” they said. “The Raven returned to their true form as they parted our realm; I suppose it is less absurd that you can command others to enact your will or that I can communicate with plants?”

run (appears 67 times)

Starlight reflected in the stranger’s eyes as tears welled up. She looked so young and uncertain. And hopeful. Cambridge had seen Lennox look the same way. “This kingdom, Zondereck, has a monarchy like we used to ages ago. But it’s not the Corvine who run it, it’s just… people. Normal, non magical people. They trust me. They don’t know I’m using magic to watch them through the Astrifer. They just think I’m good with people. Even the Queen herself trusts me.” The woman paused, laughing slightly. “I’m friends with the Queen.” Imagining the stranger older, hardened by time and rage, Cambridge’s breath caught. Her other dream screamed in the back of her mind. But this woman was young, her sadness wasn’t distilled starlight and her teeth weren’t sharp.

I couldn't find retribution nor revolve in The Corvine, but they do appear in another wip, Cypress Ascending! Those bonus words and tags are below the cut!

retribution (once in Cypress Ascending)

“Acacia Schyley,” Solace said. Pax scoffed. “The infamous mortal scholar?” Solace nodded. Looking at his pitiful figure, they added under their breath, “a very gentle fate for one who tried to defy the gods.” “The Sphaera are merciful,” Solace agreed, though she knew it often wasn’t true. The Gods could be cruel in their retribution. She stepped away from the desk, still watching Cypress from the corner of her eye.

revolve (again, just once in Cypress Ascending)

“See?” Solace gestured towards Cypress, nearly smacking Pax with the back of her hand. “Did you see?” “Indeed.” “It’s not the only thing either,” she continued in a hushed voice. Mysteries revolved around that girl like she was the star at the centre of an unknown universe. “There are so many small things that don’t add up.” “You think she’s God-touched?” “She must be.”

I'll tag some folks from my notes: @smp-writes @deewritessometimes @writing-with-melon and I'll tag you back @sleepyowlwrites! Plus, anyone else who sees this and wants to hop on, I encourage you, I love checking out others' work.

No pressure, of course, but if you're interested, I'd love to see snippets of your writing with the following words: lonely, layer, loss, and longing. BONUS: leer and luscious

#west answers #writeblr #writers on tumblr #amwriting #find the word tag #the corvine #cypress ascending #the word of the raven #i tried to keep the excerpts short #but I am notoriously bad at not just posting big chunks for these things haha #ask me for a line and you get a paragraph #ask me for this set of words and you get a tone of lore apparently #very lore heavy with this set #and some of that sweet sweet poetic prose that i do so love #the purposeful style difference between cypress ascending and the corvine is so entertaining when they're right after each other like this #cypress ascending is such a minimalistic style compared to the flowery nature of the corvine #wonder if there's a system that could tell me the average number of words per sentence #because i bet the corvine has twice as many words per sentence on average #maybe even more
