I never manage to catch WiP Wednesday on Wednesday, but I'm particularly happy with this passage, so how about a WiP Sunday? ;D
From my "The Donghai Battle was a Hatefuck" fic that that is also "let's rewrite canon so that Di Feisheng ends up traveling the jianghu with Li Lianhua for those ten years." This snippet happens not long after Di Feisheng finds Li Lianhua again after they've both recovered from the battle. Enjoy? ^_^
The first snippet shared from this fic, in case anyone is interested.
*
"If we are making bargains, then I can demand a price in return, can I not?"
Li Lianhua let out a breathless laugh and waved a hand down at himself. "If it is my body you want in trade, then that will be a poor bargain indeed, Di-mengzhu. I'm afraid it isn't worth quite as much as it once was."
"Though I disagree, that is not the price I would demand of you."
"Oh? What then? What price is worth your noninterference in my choices?"
Di Feisheng's grip on Li Lianhua's elbow loosened, sliding up along his arm to his shoulder in a gentle caress. Li Lianhua shuddered in spite of himself. Finally, Di Feisheng released him and took a step back. "I've chased after you long enough. Now that I've caught you, don't make me chase you any further."
No more running.
No more independence.
No more privacy.
What Di Feisheng was asking… it was everything. Far more than his body would have been worth for certain. In this one question, he was asking Li Lianhua to give up the only thing he had left of any value at all: his freedom.
Quietly he whispered, "How can you ask that of me?"
Lowering his voice in kind, Di Feisheng answered, "Because without that promise, no other promise I can extract from you will mean a thing. I have come to know Li Lianhua well enough to know that much, at least." He brushed gentle fingers along Li Lianhua's cheek, leaning in close to whisper his next words directly into Li Lianhua's ear. "Let me stay, Xiangyi. That's all I ask."
For just a moment, Li Lianhua let himself lean into that warmth, that strength, let himself test, if only for a moment, if he could let himself depend on it. Heart pounding harder in his chest with every second that went by, Li Lianhua counted each beat as it slammed against his ribcage. At the seventh one, he couldn't take it any longer. Trembling, he jerked away, one word that he already regretted uttering hanging in the air between them as he ducked around Di Feisheng and fled into the crowd.
"Yes."

Thank you for the tags @kiwiana-writes @strandnreyes @orchidscript @carlos-in-glasses @cricketnationrise!
“Because of the active part you play in my life, I have given you a fair amount of leniency in how you act toward me,” Henry starts. His formal tone makes Alex want to shrivel. “You’ve helped me quite a lot in a variety of instances, and for that, I appreciate your opinion. However, I don’t know where you got the idea that it is acceptable for you to have any say in whom I spend my evenings with. It is exactly none of your business who I sleep with.”
“That’s not strictly true,” Alex says, maybe idiotically. “You need me to have sex. So it’s kind of my business.”

Andreil my beautiful disasters who are so done with everyone's shit
101 ways not to say I do please :)
prev | 101 Ways Not to Say I Do | WW 13.3.2024
Andrew refused to let a single muscle in his face move. He refused to let himself react to the idea of having any kind of event where his relationship with Neil would be at the core. It had been years since that fateful day when the first spotlight had landed on their relationship, and he'd never wanted another to come across it. But if he wanted to be with Neil—a decision he contemplated every morning Neil woke up at five for a run—then there were certain points of their relationship that he simply had to get used to. And being one of the few queer athletes to have made it onto a national playing field meant that their private life didn't get to keep as much of its privacy as Andrew would have liked.
But every time he looked into those goddamn gorgeous, intelligent, and fiery blue eyes, he knew it was a discomfort that he'd simply have to live with.

WIP Whenever
Tagged by @wanderingaldecaldo @morganlefaye79 @streetkid-named-desire @corpocyborg Thanks y'all! 🧡👻
The writing front has been very slow lately. Ideally I need like 6-8 hour blocks of time to just sit down and write, and my one day to do that has been occupied by social things and appointments the past few weeks. So writing has been minimal and in the tiniest bits and pieces. I do have a pretty solid 10 pages rn though, so I'll take it.
A lot of times for sections with a lot of dialogue, I'll write the dialogue first to make sure I really nail the flow of the conversation then go back and add all the speaker tags and actions. For this snippet I removed my mess of notes about who's saying what, so you all can have fun guessing lol!
One of my fav things to do is incorporate world-building and plot relevant details in as dialogue. It's a really seamless way of informing readers but it's also a subtle form of foreshadowing on my end.
Me and my multi-chapter setups, playin' the long game here...
Wash, sorry in advance for shit talking your woman. I think it's hilarious that Mitch is in on this too though lol
“–Militech’s been awfully agitated lately, saw a twenty vehicle caravan cruising around the 101 on that last scouting trip. Don’t think they’re planning on sniffing around here do you?”
“If they were lookin’ for the panzer they would’ve come and collected by now. Think it’s the fact that Arasaka’s stocks are in the shitter. And it ain’t just them either. You know the corps, always tryin’ to sniff out opportunity.”
“Yorinobu’s been doing a sloppy job of sweeping this whole debacle under the rug. Ever since he took over it’s been one mistake after another. It’s about time the whole empire toppled.”
“I imagine the president is trying to see how far she can push her luck.”
"Don’t think it’ll hurt her chances? Even with it being an election year?"
"Pfft, please. There hasn’t been an honest election since [insert date here]"
“After her last attempt, you’d think President Myers would’ve learned her fucking lesson by now. Unification my ass.”
"Well, with Arasaka hobbled and a newly elected mayor, what better time to test the waters? Militech and the NUSA have all the opening they need to jam their feet in the door."
“Ugh, do we really have to talk about corp drama over dinner? Again. That is all you old farts have been talking about recently.”
“Seeing as Militech backs the NUSA and that they’re contracted to guard the borders between the NUSA and the Free states. Yes, we are talking about it, Panam. As one of the leaders for this family you should be paying attention to these kinds of things. They are the ones we have to tangle with every time we move."
“Yes, because politics is such an influence on all the illegal activities that are our livelihood. Does it really matter which corporation or government is in charge of what? They are all the same. We will figure it out regardless.”
"It helps to know the players on the table. Who they are. What they want. The more information you have the easier it is to navigate the situation, read the field."
"As much as I see your point, I was really hoping to avoid the leadership lessons for at least one meal."
"It’s not a responsibility you get to turn on and off, Panam."
"Well, Saul, any chance those leadership lessons will help sort out the kitchen? It’s been mystery chili for the fifth night in a row."
Also, I found these fun series of videos which are an abbreviated history on NC! If you're into unraveling all the lore like I am or just need something that doesn't require a ton of research, these are great little primer!
Tagging with no pressure: All the people that tagged me @wanderingaldecaldo @morganlefaye79 @streetkid-named-desire @corpocyborg & @shimmer-like-agirl @baublekute @elmknight @mynonsenseistingling @vox-monstera @fly-amanitaa @spacervanguard @scarlettspectra

Black Smoke Custody:
Watchtower drop in
WC: 504 Masterpost
Cleaned up an old, undone part of BSC for WIP Wednesday~ who knows if this will actually make it into the story, whenever I get around to it!
-
Batman was mid sentence when Constantine jerked back from the meeting table. The base of the chair screeched against the floor as John pushed himself out of it.
"Constantine?" Batman asked; an order for information.
Constantine spun to look at him, blinking rapidly. Black smoke started to pour from the bottom of his trench coat. “Well, this is going to be a right mare.
He collapsed to his knees with a shout of pain. His fingers scrambled at the smooth floor. His back arched. Then as suddenly as it came, all the tension bled away. He slumped wearily onto his elbows.
Flash darted close only to stop himself short, hovering nervously around the Hellblazer. “Um, John?”
“Constantine,” Batman ordered again.
John ignored them both in favor of peeling back the lapel of his trench coat to peer at the smoke pooling there.
“What happened, kid?” His voice was gentle in a way that froze the rest of the founders, gentle in a way that they hadn’t heard from him before. It was still Constantine, still gruff and with that smoker’s rasp so it was unlikely they had to worry about a possession, but the tone was unmistakably softened.
The swirling black shifted, suddenly. John landed back on his ass as it curled around his torso tightly.
Constantine’s hand hovered just over the bulk of the smoke. “Okay, kid, you’re coming undone here. Can you pull yourself together a little?”
Slowly under Constantine’s gentle encouragement, the smoke condensed and started to solidify into a head with a unruly tuft of smoky black hair pressed tight into Constantine’s shoulder. Thin arms were wrapped around John’s waist. It was just as Constantine had addressed the being: a kid.
Wonder Woman lowered her blade.
“They found me!” The kid’s voice was filled with the static of a thousand overlapping voices at once. Superman flinched back at the sound, but Constantine didn’t even falter in the hand that was rubbing circles on the kid’s back. “They found me and I needed to—”
"Shit, fuck. It's okay. I've got you. You're safe. Nothing is going to get up here."
The kid froze— or froze as much as a being’s who’s form was made of soot and smoke was able to. “Up here?” They pulled their face away from Constantine’s shoulder just enough to glance around the room with startling bright green eyes. “Oh shit, this is the Watchtower! You’re in your meeting. I forgot, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to come up here!”
The kid started to practically disintegrate as they spoke. Their legs became see through and whole chunks of their arms were flaking away.
“Kid, Danny, don’t fade on me,” John urged. “It’s fine. It’s okay. I’m glad you came to me. You’re safer up here than anywhere. I’m sure that Bats will understand he can’t send you back when you’re in danger.”
As he said this, Constantine looked at Batman. His stare was burning— promising hell if Batman refused.
“Why don’t we get you settled,” Batman rumbled.

Little wip Wednesday snip of this year's Christmas fic, a collab with @inflomora-art 🥰
Dropping Friday 💕🎄
“Steve,” he says gently, and Steve still doesn’t look up. Instead he rolls his lips in, biting down on them in a way that makes his jaw jut out, and Eddie sighs.
He reaches forward, resting his index finger beneath Steve’s chin and gently guiding his head up.
“Baby,” he says, soft and warm, and Steve’s eyes snap to his, neck arched with Eddie’s touch. He releases his lips, all pink and worked over from his anxious teeth, and Eddie gently taps the lower one with his thumb, resting it on the plush skin. “Don’t tell me you just spend Christmas alone,” he pleads, and Steve’s eyes dart away, staring into the distance over Eddie’s shoulder.
“Okay,” he says, and there’s the barest bit of bite in Steve’s voice, a little defensive, a little bitchy, “I won’t tell you.”

So I’ve been knitting in an attempt to decrease my stash scraps. These fish mitts are addictive to make—they’re fun, fast, and simple enough, if you can read a chart and work in the round.
Once I finish the blue fish, I’m planning to do a yellow and brown pair. Pretty much as many pairs as it’ll take while I wait for yarn for the Halibut sweater set I have planned.
Here’s the pattern, for anyone who wants to make their own school of goldfish mittens.

WIP - Three hours into my third attempt at this Cody portrait
(This is why you add your bright highlights last. They help pull the picture together enough that you're reluctant to work on it any more, because it is kinda good enough, right)

Posting another emotional gut punch WIP dump since y’all seemed to like the last one!
[id in alt text]
It’s heartbreaking to see so many bonds irreparably broken through trauma. Aang ran and his father figure, Monk Gyatso, has been dead for 100 years. Katara and Sokka lost their mother in such a violent manner. While they are both still alive, whatever sibling relationship Zuko and Azula could have had when they were little has become too twisted by years of Ozai pitting them against each other. It’s mentioned in the comic that the two used to act out Love Amongst the Dragons together, and wanted the contrast between their life or death Agni Kai vs when their fights were only pretend.
