#Serene/Golden

[larkral]

Happy Wednesday!

Okay! mechanic!Simon (one of my CORB pieces) has been getting a good amount of my attention this week, as has a new fic I'm writing for In Other Lands. So, have some snippets of both of those.

mechanic!Simon:

It's a good job, too. Except that sometimes you see a car that makes you want to scream. Like today, some posh git brought in an MG, forest green, soft top. Lovely original paint that's clearly been sitting out in a carpark somewhere for years just being rained on. And that's not the worst of it. Because this car must have been running on wishes and good luck for at least six thousand miles. When I asked the bloke where they'd been having it looked after, he said: "Honestly I don't know if Fiona ever brought it into a shop." I held out hope. Perhaps Fiona was his senile gran. Perhaps Fiona couldn't remember where she'd taken it, or didn't keep the papers, or her friendly neighbor cleaned the spark plugs and injectors and topped up the coolant and the engine oil.  Then I opened the bonnet.

And a fic for In Other Lands which I cannot reveal the working title of because it will RUIN the SURPRISE.

Which is fair, if inconvenient. It's all made up, after all. There is no immutable line beyond which Golden's virtue has been destroyed and before which it's intact. The idea is demeaning and idiotic and… "Unicorns," Elliot says. Serene's eerie stillness was the only indication that she was taking a moment to catch up. "Surely unicorns have been used as a purity test before. Just have Golden stand near a unicorn sometime before your wedding and boom, virtue verified. This is genius, actually, why haven't elves been doing that for ages?" "It was primarily the gorings that sent the practice out of fashion," Golden remarked, entering their conversation from behind.  "Hmm," Serene agreed, taking the hand Golden rested on her shoulder in the tender cup of her palm. "Likely."

This is already very long, so low pressure tags below the cut. :)

A glimpse of the majestic Ama Dablam in Nepal, as it stands elegantly under the serene blue sky. Its snowy peaks catch the golden light, reminding us of nature's quiet grandeur.

Happy Wednesday! Thanks for the tags @leithillustration and @rimeswithpurple! I am floooooooored by all the illustrations people are coming out with this month. Amazing stuff! I can't draw *at all* so the idea of drawing something stunning every day is... yeah, you're all deities.

What have I been up to? A variety of things. Some more work on my Holsom timeloop, some work on my In Other Lands story, recently finished a first draft of mechanic!Simon, and started on my second CORB piece as well. But nothing is getting that much attention because I've been focusing on doing life stuff. (My dog had dental surgery yesterday. It was a time.)

Here is the entire text of one of my CORB pieces so far. I have a sense of where this is going, but it's taking a while to get there.

The sky is pink-orange, rippling with clouds. Simon is sitting in front of me, legs stretched toward the water.  I reach down to put my hand on his shoulder. He's warm, sun-soaked and soft. He reaches back to thread his fingers between mine, and tugs me down to sit next to him. 

And this is from the In Other Lands fic I'm writing:

Elliot slung an arm around Golden's shoulder. Golden had gotten more relaxed as he told the stories, and was at this point the most casual in posture and expression that Elliot had ever seen in an elven gentleman. "You truly are a precious jewel, Golden-Hair-Scented-Like-Summer. Serene has said as much, but I found it hard to believe she'd found someone who truly deserved her until this very moment." Golden leaned his head forward enough to allow a few tendrils of his hair fall into his face, a gesture Elliot was learning to understood meant I am demuring from this compliment, but which also gave Golden a convenient visual shield for any expression of pride that might sully his reputation.

Tags under the cut!

Happy Wednesday, Friends! Would love to see what y'all are working on!

A serene pool of water emerges like a gem from the vast textures of the salt flats in Tunisia. The setting sun casts a warm glow, painting the scene with a peaceful, golden light.
