can you do 4 and 5 for the smutty one liners pls!!!

Ok so I changed this up a bit- hinting at smut towards the end.

Exes and Ohs

“Another!” Ava calls the bartender as you take a breath, downing your third shot. Janine roped everyone into going out for an evening for Jacobs birthday because in one way or another, everyone had a soft spot for him. Now you’re buzzed around your co workers.

Being buzzed around your co workers wasnt the best idea, especially when there was a strange electric tension between you and a certain redhead. Melissa stands at a high table with Barb and Zack nursing whatever brown liquor she liked. You clench your jaw and grip the shot glass with white knuckles.

“Girl chill, I ain’t paying for broken glasses.” Ava snaps you out of it. “You two need to bone and get it over with.”

“What are you talking about?” You laugh. “She can’t stand me.”

Ava rolls her eyes lifting another shot glass to her lips. “Get your eyes checked. Have fun sulking over here.”

With that, she walks away leaving you with your shot glass. There’s no way Melissas into you. She was always short with you and hardly ever said a word, even when she did it was prompted by Barb.

You blow out a breath and turn around heading to the table top, mint prevalent on your tongue from the drink.

“Y/n! Come here,” Jacob calls, wrapping his arm around your shoulders in a side hug. When you come up to the table you meet the redheads eyes, her gorgeous eyes youd like to get lost in, but as quick as you meet them she’s looking away from you, whispering something to Barb before she goes to the bar.

You stand there listening to everyone’s conversation, Jacob telling a funny story about him and Zack as you eye Melissa’s frame while she leans against the bar waiting for a drink. As she waits, you see a man walk up to her. One she doesn’t look to pleased with. You keep an eye on her, your ears peeking up when you hear Barb.

“Oh no.”

“Is that the ex husband?” You ask quirking a brow.

When you watch Melissa’s hand ball into a fist and the man get right in her face you move across the floor like there’s a trail of fire behind you. Melissa being Melissa, doesn’t back down.

“You’re an asshole, joe!”

Coming up to the two you wrap your arm around Melissa’s waist pulling her back to put yourself between her and the man. With your shoulders back and your chin up, you meet the man’s eyes with a quirked brow. He was clearly already drinking elsewhere before he got here.

“Why dont you go sit down before you get yourself into trouble, little man.”

You feel a warm hand on the center of your back that sends a shiver up your spine. You’d never ever touched Melissa before and she never touched you.

You keep your chin up as Joe laughs, sizing you up before he looks over your shoulder at his ex wife. “Wow, Mel, what a downgrade” he wobbles slightly and your jaw clenches.

You can’t help but let out an actual laugh. “I don’t know what you’re thinking but I can’t imagine having a woman like Melissa and fumbling that hard. Like, wow.” You laugh this time at him. “Go sleep it off, dumbass.”

Melissa smirks, grabbing your arm pulling you towards the hall that leads to the bathrooms ignoring the group that was watching. You’re sure you hear Ava booing the guy.

Your heart is pounding. You’re sure you fucked up.

“Melissa I’m sorry, that wasn’t any of my business but I couldn’t stand him being in your face like that he-“

Melissa pulls you into the bathroom cutting you off. luckily you were the only ones in there.

“Hon, what the hell was that?” She laughs crossing her arms leaning against the counter.

You eye the woman, relieved she isn’t pissed. “Wait, so you’re not mad? Because I thought you hated me all year.”

“Hate you? Why would I hate you? You’re nothin but nice to everyone. It’s almost sick.” She teases you. “I did try to avoid you though.”

“Why?” You ask bewildered.

“It’s not obvious?” She asks taking a step forward, so close you can smell her perfume.

“No,” you laugh, “I legitimately thought you hated me. You only talk to me if it’s a group activity or Barb is there too. Plus I’m-“

Before you can finish your sentence warm hands cup your cheeks while soft lips meet yours. It takes you a moment to register what’s happening, but when you do you melt against the older woman wrapping your arms around her waist.

You break the kiss with a dazed smile keeping your arms around her.

“You know you could’ve done that a lot sooner than-“

Melissa stokes your cheek with her thumb pecking your lips.

“Staying quiet has never been your strong suit, huh?” She teases.

You take a page out of her book smirking, a warmth spreading through you.

“Make me shut up then.”

The red head meets your smirk with her own leading you out of the bathroom. Walking back to the table to grab your things everyone gives you knowing looks including the ever subtle Ava.

“Bout damn time!”

Pitched as an exciting gateway science fiction heist novel, “Ocean’s 8” meets Gideon the Ninth (Tor), Hammajang Luck will be released in hardback, e-book and audio in January 2025.

Its synopsis reads: “Eight years in prison changes a person. Particularly when you’re only there because your partner, your best friend, your all-but-sister, sold you down the river. That’s why Edie knows they’ll turn down Angel’s offer of a job. One last big score. A chance to take down the man who put them away: Joyce Atlas. But Edie’s lost too much time with their family. There’s not a question."

Acquired this bad boy in December, have been making memes to restrain myself from SHOUTING ABOUT IT ever since. (Graphic design is my passion)

SO excited to be working with @makana-yama to bring this book to you - it's fun, sexy, chaotic and most of all full of shenanigans in space. Edie is the buff NB chaos bae you always wanted, Angel is the sexy genius who overdresses for every occasion, and the two of them are constantly bullied for being Old by their crew. And then they go a take out Space Elon Musk while kicking ass and taking names.

1000/10, wonderful book.

But humanity is inherently inhumane.

Art By Glory Anna Lost In Trans_Lation “The mirror showed a reflection that wasn’t my own.” How I longed to embrace the woman on the other side of me: Marty Nelson. As it states on my birth certificate, at least, but I am Madeline. That is who I am, heart and soul. I thought the day I lifted my head to the heavens and sang out “she is me” proudly, with my bright red lipstick painted on, would…

Thanks to Villano Antillano I found out that Dracula was men’s answer to a much more iconic female lesbian vampire named Carmilla.

Updates! Updates everywhere!!

Hi, guys. So things have been difficult the last few months in my household- Millennial Financial Syndrome, general stress about the upcoming holidays, and the slow and long-coming death of my church (which I have been a part of since my birth and is a member of the UCC which is a very liberal denomination). Uncle Albert is kind of having some mental health difficulties because of it, but I also want to keep going with sharing my works and art with you guys. I appreciate all of you so much.

And now, with the Al update out of the way, here's the other ones:

Chemistry: Law and Chaos: Varian and Kazlin are rescued and Varian fills the group in on some things.

Discomfiture: Hugo meets the Doc and the boys try to learn how to interact again.

The Last Flight: The group enters the city of Brintchel, where they get new clothes and make lots of plans.

Scientia Aeterna: Olric steals the diary and is cast away by Arvin, descending into the bad (worse?) part of town to get drunk as Pi'loc kick's Arvin's butt and the boy goes hunting for the man he loves.

I like prompt 6!

Thank you for the request! 🩷 Prompt 6 "Why do you always look at me like that?""Like what? "Like you... Want me."

Looks

The first day you started at Abbott was a good one. Janine and Jacob were more than welcoming, Greggory was friendly, and Barbra was kind. The red headed second grade teacher was another story.

You have no idea how to read the woman. Shes reserved and uninterested any time you’re around, but sometimes she looks back at you with this look in her eye. The first time it happens you’re by the sink pouring a cup of coffee. You feel eyes on you as you do so, and when you turn around Melissa has her glasses perched on the bridge of her nose looking up at you.

Feeling self conscious you let out a fake, unbothered laugh going back to the table. “What, do I have something on my back?”

The woman shakes her head looking back down at her phone.

“Nah, you’re good, hon.”

Hon. That was a first for you.

The second time it happens you’re on recess duty. It’s the middle of October, the chilly wind mixed with the rays of the sun makes being outside tolerable, but it’s still chilly.

“Hey, Amir, come here.” You call one of your younger students over noticing he’s only in his Abbott shirt and no jacket. “Hey buddy, wheres your jacket?” You ask kneeling down in front of him.

Little did you know Barbara and Melissa were close enough.

The little boy looks at you with a shrug.

“My mama said next time she get money she get me one.”

“Oh okay.” You hum with a nod. “Well,” you start taking your own jacket off revealing a black zip up underneath. “Would you like to wear this while you play?” you ask holding it out for him.

When Amir puts the hoodie on and runs off, you slide your jacket back on catching a look from Melissa you’ve seen once before.

“That was very nice, dear.” Barbara smiles at you. “There’s a lot of that here in the winter months.”

“I’m sure it’s been done before but what about a coat drive? Not to sound too ambitious or anything like that, I’m not on Janine’s level,” you chuckle, “but that could work.”

Barbara laughs nodding along. “We could do something small like that I’m sure.”

You try to keep your eyes on the older teacher but you can’t help but glance at Melissa by her side in her black leather jacket and pink beanie. She looked incredible, and here she was looking at you like that again.

Melissa Schemmenti is a tough woman, you know that, but there was no way she was into you in any other way than a colleague. It didn’t matter if she bit her lip when she looked at you, if you caught her putting lipgloss on and she kept eye contact with you when she saw. No way.

The third time it happens you decide to say something.

While in the library grabbing new books for your classroom, Melissa comes in to do the same thing.

“Hey, Melissa.” You give her a friendly smile. In the past few weeks the red head became more friendly, warming up to you. You figured Barb had something to do with it.

As she stands with her back to you looking at the other shelf you reach up to grab another book, making your shirt ride up a bit exposing a part of your tattoo that ends on your lower back.

When you turn back around book in hand you see the same look on the red heads face, her lip between her teeth and a glint in her eye.

“Okay what is that?” You point at her, almost sounding annoyed. “This is the third time I’ve caught you looking at me like that.”

“What I can’t look at ya?” The older woman laughs.

“No, no you always look at me like THAT.” You cross your arms.

“Like what?”

You eye the woman, the wave in her hair cascading like red wine, a smirk on her glossed lips almost like she’s challenging you.

“Like you want me.”

Melissa quirks a brow, smirk still on her lips.

“So what if I did?”

It’s your turn to challenge the woman. Arms still crossed you shrug leaning back against the bookcase, your heart speeds up in your chest at the game you’re playing.

“I’d tell you to ask me out.”

Melissa gives you her best smile, eyes crinkling and all. You loved when she did that. Before she can say anything you shrug again starting to walk away throwing a look over your shoulder.

“Come by my room after the dismissal bell.”

Leaving the redhead flustered behind you walk back to your room with a proud smile on your lips.

Callum could stare at Simon’s chiseled facade all day. He was nothing like the smelly hockey boys on the team; he was… all fine lines and elegant missives. He was a walking poem that Callum couldn’t seem to capture on the page, no matter how many times he tried again and again.

Wow! Friends! What a busy month!! I don't know where it's gone at all. We jumped right in from one event to the next on over on Patreon, and I'm all in on writing our Anniversaryx3 story as we speak - which is in celebration of the third anniversary of my Patreon, and will be up next month. I can’t believe it’s been three years already! That's such a big milestone!! I'm going to get all ramble-y and grateful if I don't rein it in - next month! I'll get all teary-eyed in June :> (But just know I have so much love for everyone who supports me in any way you can and am so happy and grateful to be able to do this!)

But I digress! this month, we ran the plot survey for our Anniversaryx3 event, our big collaboration with @ninjaduelist! We finalized some things about our characters and created a whole lot of new ones! We have the names, we have the world, we have the basis of their relationship, and I'm taking it from there. Check out the pictures if you’re interested in meeting Aki & Silas!

A whole lot of that was established over on our stream, so thank you so much to those of you that could make it!! I'm still not used to writing with an audience, but it's so fun when I get you all involved. I'd love to do it more often. Alongside all that, we still had our regularly scheduled Forest section (this time with Fae and Lola!), I posted some of my favourite words as prompts, asked for two different ideas, posted up some rough notes for this month's section of The Forest, and went on a big ramble about all the things that help me write. I also got a new puppy! Not writing related, but!!! Lots to be excited about this month :>

If you’re at all interested in finding out more…for $1 a month, you get:

Access to the full library (both SFW and NSFW stories!)

Monthly updates to The Forest (our ongoing WIP) - sections are posted on the 28th of every month! (double in non-event months)

To participate in our big events, like Choose-Your-Own-Adventure April and Pick-a-Fic February! You could help us make the next Aki and Silas :>

Access to our Discord server!

And there’s even more in the other tiers!! You can choose pieces of what I write, get your ideas into the story, brainstorm prompts and get loads of behind the scenes stuff. I also have a commission tier available!

I have an open writing tag on Patreon where you can check out some of my writing for free, and here are all of our story descriptions. I try to keep my Patreon in a state where there’s always something fun to look forward to!! Come and join if you’d like to!

For now, I'm going to keep chipping away at our Anniversary story, and I have lots of ongoing fun projects in the works as well. Super excited to celebrate our third anniversary :> All my love to you!

Until next time,

- Kinomi
