🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑
The swamps are almost never visible at night. The fog and the grey clouds over them never fail to hide the moonlight from reaching it, making it pitch black. But sometimes, though rarely, the moon wins. Sometimes, some things have a will of their own to make things happen. 
The only sound in the area tonight is that of the footsteps of a young fae. He has been lucky to be guided by the moonlight, though he is unsure as to where he has to go. He stomps his way through the woods, cursing under his breath. His mind is clouded by thoughts about his home, his mother and his dead father, and of the fact that they have all been stolen from him. His sorrowful face soon turns into a frown as his thoughts focus on the person who took it all away from him.
"If what I deserve is this for thinking for the wellbeing of my parents, then she deserves worse for what she did to me." His words sound threatening to his own ears. But there was no backing away from his decision. "I will make her suffer for everything I went through," he says through gritted teeth. "Until she winds up alone and lonely like me. Then," –he smirks like a madman– "then I will kill her."
There is a soft rustle of the bushes, and he panics. His eyes scan his surroundings for any presence other than himself. With another sound, he prepares for whatever is going to thrown itself at him. 
"I am Tialo, son of Lord Elric and the Lady Thalissa, rightful heir to the throne of Lamrian. I demand that you show yourself." His fright is apparent even through his  confident words. Peering through the bushes, he finally sees two yellow eyes glowing at him- a panther.  He takes a cautious step back and prepares to attack the thing, though he knows it's useless as he is unable to do magic at this time. 
The 'thing' slowly steps towards him. Tialo has never seen anything like it. He has seen many creatures in his life, but nothing so pitch black, darker than the sky tonight. It's eyes seem to be glaring into his soul. Tialo twists his hands and blurts out words, hoping to see anything coming out of his palms. Frightened to his core, he accepts his defeat and slowly backs away from it. His shaking hands reach for his knife. 
"Do not come any close, it is an order!" He points the knife at it. 
The panther take a few lazy steps, until it is a human walking towards the fae. 
"Put that knife away, kid." The human form says. 
"You..." Tialo straightens himself and look up at the figure in front of him. He only stays still as the human snatches the knife from him and puts it in his pocket. "Who are you?!"
"A shapeshifter, clearly," the human says indifferently. 
"I can see that! Give me the knife back, or else." His face grimaces.
"Or else what? You're gonna use your non-existent spells on me?"
"What do you want from me?" Tialo's face is now red with fury. No one has ever had the guts to speak to him like that, much less open their mouths around him. The servants or court members always stayed away from his path whenever they could, and he enjoyed it. This person is not even a servant, he is a complete stranger who he has no reason to talk to. 
"I saw you walking around here alone. Thought I could help." 
"How could a nobody like you even think of helping me?" His smirk is apparent.
"Keep your superiority complex to yourself. I could leave you here and you would be dead by morning. The creatures here aren't choosy when it comes to food, you know. They would eat whatever they can, heir to Lamrian or not. I can show you a place to stay. Mine isn't far from here."
"You live here, inside this swamp? Why would you stay somewhere you could get eaten easily?"
"Only fools would live here. Don't be stupid." He rolls his eyes. "Listen, if you want to come, then come with me. I can help you."
"You don't know me."
"Oh I do, though. You're the late Elric's son who was banished. Now you want your revenge on your sister- what's her name? Yeah, Alexandra. I get it, I know that. I know everything."
Tialo stares dumbfounded at the shapeshifter's words. "She is not my sister," he snaps, "mind your words. How do you know all this? Why do you care?"
The shapeshifter sighed. "Because you want her gone, kid. I do too."
Tialo stares in disbelief. His heart does a small flip to the new found information. The stranger is now more like a kin to him, someone who shares his motives. His mind goes over the thought of why the shapeshifter wants to kill his enemy, or how he acquired the information in the first place. But it does not matter to him. 
"So are you coming or not?" The shapeshifter asked.
"Why should I trust you?" 
He grins. "You shouldn't."

Cadybear's Reviews VERY Brief Thoughts- Nightbound
Welcome to the eighteenth official Cadybear's Reviews VERY Brief Thoughts! Today I'll be talking about Nightbound, which I have ranked on the "Copper Tier" at 6 stars out of a possible 10. My last playthrough of this was around December 2021-January 2022.
This one was okay. Not brilliant, just okay.
The story was a bit slow for me, but ultimately serviceable. I’d say it works well enough as an atmospheric/aesthetic horror story, rather than something like ILS which is more dread-building horror or BB which is more… situational horror? All the LIs were pretty interesting, and I enjoyed having my m!MC romance Katherine.
But other than that, nothing much that greatly stood out to me.

Where I Belong
Well, my first Nik Ryder fic in what… two years? And it is naughty sorry not sorry. Anywho, this is basically a rewrite of the 30 diamond scene in Chapter 11. When Nik and MC go to the tower overlooking Lamrian. I always felt like we got ripped off with that scene, so I wrote it the way I think it should’ve gone.
Perma tags: @drstrange46ers
Nik tags: @theartofimaginaryfriends @flyawayboo @amillionmoonsred @perriewinklenerdie @whenyourheartskipsabeat @paisleylovergirl @lahelable @walkerduchess @bye-baby @aneutronstarcollision @full-of-choices @lilyoffandoms @usuallyamazinglyaverage @ladylamrian please let me know if I missed anyone or you'd like to be tagged!
Word count: 1,126
Warnings: ns*w, n*fw, smut, naughty, dirty, 18+
Gazing out upon her new home, her otherworldly home, she feels a strange tugging of contentment. In her heart, she feels at peace here. Whether that is just because she has found her true father, or because of that and Nik.
His strong shoulder bumps hers softly and she sighs out a gentle smile towards him. He covers her hand with his, a relaxed stance overtook his body after he admitted his feelings towards her.
Now the tension between them has lessened for tonight. The bloodwraith is being kept at bay by the ward and the privacy of this tower offers views of Lexie’s new hometown she can relish.
She slips an arm around Nik’s waist, he stiffens for a second and then relaxes. His own arm wraps around her shoulder while he rests his head on top of hers.
“I feel like this has been what’s missing my entire life. I feel like I’ve finally found where I belong.”
A bell rings in the distance. The loud chime rings out over the town, interrupting Lexie.
“We’ll, I’m glad you’ve found it, Rook.” He steps away from her, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner. You know I ain’t good with talking about stuff.”
She let her hair down out of its normal braid when she was getting ready for bed so when a breeze blows through the open window of the tower, she wrangles it back behind her ear. Then her blue eyes look up at him, earnest and open.
“It’s not okay, but I’ve forgiven you because you were doing what you thought was best for me.”
Nik nods, gazing down at her with a crooked smile and runs a hand through his hair. Lexie steps up to him and rests her arms on his shoulders, interlocking her hands behind his neck.
“But, I think you could make me feel even better.”
Slowly, she inches her mouth towards his, but as soon as she closes her eyes, he takes over. His mouth meets her in fervent kisses, a hand tangles in her hair and he pushes her back against the wall.
He’s been forcing himself not to give into his desires, but hell, there’s no way he can deny her tonight.
Both sets of hands fumble with the clothes that separate them from what they desire. Nik strips off his pants and his shirt by the time she got her shirt off. Lex hurriedly pushes her pants off, kicking them towards the stairs and then pulls his taut body back against hers. He resumes his deep kisses, losing his tongue with hers, and unclasps her bra, allowing it to fall off.
He leans back, raking his dark, lust filled eyes over her body while he slowly pulls her underwear down. His breath hitches at the sight and he looks back up, being caught by Lexie‘s cocky grin.
“Like what you see there, cupcake?” She tugs on the waistband of his boxers for emphasis, giggling softly.
Nik rolls his eyes good-naturedly, pushing his boxers down in one fell swoop. Her giggles disappear and her eyes train in on his hard manhood.
Smirking in success, he presses his body against hers once more. “I think you like what you see more, cupcake.”
His hands reach under her thighs and pick her up easily, pressing into her, earning moans from both of them. His cock slides in deftly and his eyelids droop from the feeling of her tight walls surrounding him.
“Oh, Nik.” Lexie’s arms wrap around his neck while she kisses him slowly, lovingly, and begins to rock her hips.
A deep groan escapes his lips. His fingers dig into the skin of her thighs and he begins to move his hips in quick, hard thrusts. She begins to let out cries, feeling him so deep inside her. Her hand sticks in his hair, tugging at the brown locks while she feels herself getting closer and closer to her release. Lexie feels the hard stone wall pressing into her skin, the slight pain mixing with the pleasure coming from Nik.
His eyes open and settle on her exquisite face. They trail from her closed eyes, down to her nose, to her lips, past the scar on her jar and settle back on her lidded eyes.
“Look at me, Lex.”
Startled by the brisk tone in his voice, she opens her eyes, meeting his and seeing the dark desire clouding his pupils. Both of them smile, but when Nik begins pounding into her harder, she lets out a loud cry. Overwhelmed by the pure pleasure coursing through her, her eyes begin to slide shut.
“Oh… oh, right there. Yes!” She almost begins screaming, “So close, Nik.”
Her eyes roll back, her fingers dig into his hair, tugging and pulling, but he doesn’t relent. His thrusts are hard, focused and pushing her to her brink.
“Lex, I want you to look at me, sweetheart.”
Her eyes snap open, begging and pleading with him. “Nik, please!”
His thighs burn and he feels the familiar tightness rising up in his core. “Look at me and come for me, baby.”
Lexie keeps her eyes locked on his while her cries ring out in the tower, joining the sounds of their skin meeting roughly and the moans of pleasure.
“Oh fu—“
Then her body clamps around him, her fingers dig into his scalp, and her eyes shut tightly. It pushes his body over the edge with her and he spills his warm seed into her. His hips jerk, he moans erratically and he holds her legs tightly while they both come down from their high.
Their foreheads meet and they look at each other with a satisfied glow, both smiling gently. Her breaths mix with his, their skin melds together with sweat and her legs tremble around his waist.
“That was way better than I imagined.” His deep, gruff voice is quiet, just above a whisper.
“Much better.”
Lexie kisses the tip of his nose before he sets her on the ground. They both gather their clothes, redressing quickly and she takes one more look over her new home.
“Tonight was the best night I’ve had in a long time.” She looks over at Nik, his fingers buttoning up the last bit of his shirt and she smiles, “Thank you for everything. For bringing me here and for tonight.”
A dark blush creeps up her cheeks and he gives her his lopsided grin.
“You’re welcome. Thank you too. You’ve uh…” he pauses and rubs the back of his neck, “You’ve taught me a lot.”
Grabbing his hand, Lexie reaches up and kisses his cheek before dragging him towards the stairs.
“Let’s go get some sleep, Ryder.”

Someone is creating a Nightbound continuation project similar to itlivesproject. Just telling you if you're interested. They are searching for members (writer, artist, programmer, ...)
Maybe a few art pieces? Your art is great (the cherry on the top) and it would be an honor if you would join them a little. But you won't get payed since it's a non-profit and free game for everyone. The team works for free only to deliver us a great story. Like charity work.
Blog: @ nightboundfanfiction
Signal Boost appreciated with #playchoices
oh goodness don't know HOW long this has been chilling in my box, but I'm super glad to hear this project is progressing!
(side bar, I can't take a lick of credit for the art pieces on this blog. I have zero artistic talent but I have pocket change and I give it to the souls who have the talent when I can😂)
I'd **love** to be a part of it, oh gosh if this had been a year ago I'd be down, but my "Mess is a bit of a Life" so I'm just gonna watch and cheer from the sidelines and DEF play when it's out!
(all my Nightbound loves who are creative and stuff pleeeaaassseee hop on this if you're able!)

‘Garrus is so gorgeous and charming, vibrating with positivity. Aww, and he said "milady". Not to my MC but still. He's so noble and precious. Garrus, Krom, Ivy and Luc deserved better in Nightbound. I wish they appeared more often, they're so interesting characters. Magical.’

Short drabble for day 16 of May challenge (posting a bit too early because I lack patience)
curses | mimosa | "You’re so drunk”
Book: Nightbound - Nik Ryder x F!MC (relationship can be romantic or just friendship)
MC just mentioned
Rating: Teen
**This event happens within the Nightbound book, during chapter 11 when mc goes to the market (or was it) in Lamrian with Lord Elric. Or when they are in the fae realm, if you bought the diamond scene. To be frank, it happens shortly before mc returns back to the castle.**
"Dammit!", Nik cursed as he kicked at a pebble lying by his foot. It flew and hit a nearby Fae guard on the face.
"Hey! Watch what you are doing!" The Fae guard clenched their fists as though getting ready for a fight. But Nik just sighed and walked the other way.
It was not the time for a fight. Even if he were to fight someone, he would just turn against himself, gladly. He wanted to punish himself for what he had done. How could he do this to her? How could he do this to himself?
Even the walk in the garden wasn't given him any peace. The image of Alex flashed through his mind again. The look in her eyes when she realised he was hiding such a big thing from her right from the beginning. Her soft eyes had turned into daggers that seemed to pierce into his soul. It was not a look of hatred, but of betrayal.
He kept saying to himself that he shouldn't have done that. That he could have given her the hint when he first got it. That maybe they could have figured it out together.
Nik snapped himself out of the flashbacks. He needed to think about what he should do. What he should tell her. How to get her to trust him again. But maybe that wouldn't be possible at all.
He had screwed up.
Though, that didn't mean he would give up. He would try. Maybe the odds would be in his favour.
And so, he turned and walked towards the castle, towards Alex's room.

Hi hope u r doin well ^^
Loved ur Adrian fic. He's such a cutie.
Btw do u happen to know when next BB appreciation week will happen? Or next NB appreciation week?
Hello!
Thank you so much for your kind words; I loved writing for Adrian, and I do plan on continuing once I have some time to myself.
With regards to NB, myself and @bloodboundismylife haven’t actually discussed this - we’ve both been really busy and, I can’t speak for her, but I find myself having very little time to do anything other than work at the moment.
I’m not sure about BB Week; I don’t speak to any of those that do host it and can’t remember who actually does run it - hopefully they’ll be able to find this and give you an answer ☺️.
I’m sorry that I couldn’t help further.

Choices MCs (Filipino Edition lol)
《Next》
Finally drew four of my Choices MCs inspired by @cassiopeiacorvus and her wonderfully done OC compilations (how do you have the patience to draw all of em omg)
I'm thinking of doing the same for my Romance Club MCs too (background would be the purple of the homescreen there)
Interested in commissioning me? Click the source! 💗
Evangeline Marie G. (Guzman) Lakandula - Ah yes, my soft, anxious babie with self-worth issues. She comes from a messy background with a horrible father. She was close to her late (paternal) grandparents and had a very complicated relationship with her late mother. One of her relatives shes v close to is her older cousin, Ethan.
She's a college dropout thanks to her father's bad choices and worked the moment she had a chance to.
After her mother passed, that was it for Evangeline. She kinda needed to go away from her dad and his loud voice and other issues. So she left home and Ethan helped her out before he left for a business trip abroad.
He had her go to a house he owned in Laguna where she could live in provided she just do the cleaning in there. She found simple work that she was qualified for and that was her life for the next few years until a certain bachelor party came into her life.
Diwa Kalangitan M. (Masangga) del Rosario - My chaotic good and very protective MC who definitely rabbleroused in the school she works in.
She was raised in a household that follows some precolonial beliefs and traditions. She has a stepfather who's an albularyo and two half-siblings. One is studying in college, the other is still in high school. She has a close relationship to both her parents.
And she is rather happy with her job as a teacher in a private school. Sure she sometimes goes against curriculum to make sure the kids enjoy her lessons. She's a class advisor also so when she found out their math teacher humiliated one of her students, she confronted said teacher.
Her trip to America is really just a birthday trip until the events of the book started. In the end she ends up in a poly relationship with Nik and Cal. (She does end up pointing out to the boys that she'll have to go back to her work and family at least just to properly resign and find work near them and also to assure her family she's safe.)
Maya Chelidonia C. (Caacbay) dela Rosa - The local tired detective who had to move abroad for their own safety. Love them SM.
Maya is the child of Jaime dela Rosa, a cop in the Philippines who does not follow in corrupt practices and tries to do right by the community. He was killed after coincidentally seeing signs of corruption in the force and wanting to expose it.
After their father's death, Maya also followed in his footsteps. On their end, they wanted to try and do some good in their job but ended up experiencing some discrimination in the work force. Enter them finding the same evidence of corruption that their father found as well. This time they managed to expose the corruption but in the end, one of their few friends in the force warned them that they'll have to flee the country due to some v angry officials.
So they fled with their mother and younger sister.
Their sister became a fashion designer. Maya found work as a private detective and the two teamed up to be able to live a decent life. Their sister travels with their mom on fashion shows. They're fine living nearby their maternal uncle with their dog, Spudge. (He's a scaredy cat and a lil crybaby who doesn't like strangers and by that I mean he starts crying when the strangers notice him. It's not out of trauma, he just likes Maya and their fam more than anyone else and is v shy with others. He's also scared of the dark and loud noises.)
Inocencia Honorata G. (Galang) Valenciano - and finally, my love's embarrassing bby. My Rafael Aveiro romancer. Love her sm.
She and her mom, older brother and little sister ran away from their father when they were a kid. Her parents annulled their marriage after a few years.
Her older brother became the youngest lawyer in the country and had a firm in New York seek him out. This led to him helping Inocencia and her sister (who had skipped grades and managed to enter college the same year as Inocencia).
Inocencia is v non-competitive that she chose De La Salle University while her sister went to their grandfather’s alma mater, University of the Philippines. At college, Inocencia got dubbed as SiaSia because of the repeated -cia in her first name and surname.
The two got accepted into Edenbrook when they were gonna start. Inocencia being 27 and her sister being 25. By then, Inocencia still isn't competitive and didn't sign up for the competition for the diagnostics team but her little sister shoved her to try it out.
