No one has ever messed with the Clemonte crime family, not until the murder of Reginald Clemonte — the godfather of Arkridge City’s criminal empire. It is first marked as a cold case, and then revealed as an inside job.

THE QUINTESSENCE OF DUST ↳ A WIP INTRO BY @SPRIGOFBASIL

The creature laughed with not a throat but a chorus, and in that moment, Rikard might have found something to fear more than death.

“Well, little soldier? How would you like to make a deal?”

GENRE: YA Fantasy Hamlet Retelling

TYPE: Standalone

POV: Multi (third-person limited)

STATUS: Outlining

THEMES/TROPES: betrayal and revenge; love (never) wins; the follies of time travel; ride or die siblings; spies and traitors; secret identities; crossdressing knights; political intrigue; manipulative gods

SUMMARY:

Rikard Morgensen is special. An orphan with a magic sought by kings and warmongers, he wanders into a trap of his own making, nothing more than a tool for the debauched nobility claiming to have saved him. 

(His food is laced with poison, and yet he does not bite the hand that feeds him.)

Rikard Morgensen is special. But, left to die after he expends his worth in war, no amount of cleverness or strength will save him. No, the only thing that matters to a deity bored of existence is entertainment.

Sent back to a time before it all went wrong, he’s given twelve years to get his revenge—to unseat the royals that brought Vedenhav to ruin, to save his sister, and most importantly, to make the lives of those who wronged him a living hell.

But even armed with knowledge of the future—his past—Rikard soon finds his carefully-laid plans slipping away from him with a death that changes everything.

A treacherous spymaster cloaked in knight’s armor.

A prince on a ghost-given quest for vengeance.

An ever-loyal advisor, always left behind by the one he loves.

A caged bird left to drown in tears not her own.

(Now cracks a noble heart.)

CHARACTERS:

Rikard Morgensen  |  the stranger in a strange court, bitter and angry and ruthlessly clever. Given twelve years to change it all, the only thing he fears more than death is failure.

Elisabet Forseth  |  the traitor for the north, youngest and most gifted child of the Frejren royal spymaster, sent to bring Vedenhav to ruin. But, she can only hide behind armor and false names for so long.

Tanja Morgendatter  |  the keeper of her brother’s hope, blood empty of magic yet mind fickle and fingers light. Once a thief, always a thief, whether it be coin or a crown.

Hugo Severin Frederik Arne  |  the prince of Vedenhav, intelligent yet naive, hesitant yet painfully brash. Better him on the throne than the enemy, though who that is has grown increasingly vague.

Heinrik Andersen  |  the friend forever left in the dust, bleeding his heart on his sleeve for someone who will never see it. Careful, watchful, observant, for a secret is worth more than gold.

Oktavia Vester-Kaalund  |  the marionette caught between strings, falling down, down, down as they’re cut one by one.

THE DROWNED GIRL. a wip reintroduction.

viv's problems start on a monday. after disappearing for a summer, she fully intends to fade into obscurity now that her older sister--star student cecilia yee--has graduated and gone off to live her life.

but people in the small town of nottinghill, michigan don't just leave.

in her wake, cece has left a mystery full of ambition, obsession, and deceit. amidst it all, noah cunningham and callum south join viv, drawn together by circumstance to form a group that should have next to nothing in common. but as they delve deeper into cece’s past, things become more complicated than a search for a missing brother.

if they aren’t careful, they’ll end up unearthing secrets that will ruin their lives.

warning: this is not a story for the lighthearted.

A writeblr (re)introduction ///

Hello Writeblr! My name is Chessur, and since I’m coming off a long hiatus, I thought now would be a good time to reintroduce myself! I’m 23, a trans gay boy, and I write a variety of fantasy fiction! I spend an inordanite amount of time crying over the web-serial Worm and Netflix’s She-Ra. I also have a billion pictures of my two cats to share. 

A bit about me ;;

* My stories tend to have a pattern of “we won but at what cost?” endings, so expect a lot of angst from my stuff and know that no character is safe from death * I write a mix of YA and NA stories * I have several WIPs in the works, and I write short stories as well * I use my likes as a bookmark function, to keep track of things I want to queue at a later date. I often forget to clear them out for weeks at a time and will often add things to my queue months after they were posted. sorry about that. Just know that if I’ve liked it, it will be reblogged at some point lol

My main WIPs ;;

** Moral of the Story ** YA, superheroes || Sent to learn to be a proper villain at the world’s most prestigious school for supervillains, Max Greenwich joins forces with a team of villains and heroes alike to prevent a cult of true evil from ending the world he knows. ** Lantern’s Light ** NA, high fantasy, modern fantasy || After giving a last kindness to a dying god, Soarran has been tasked with helping the reborn Champion of the Gods save the world from a waking violent god. But as Vaísa recovers more of her memories of her first life, she leads them down increasingly more reckless paths in an effort to keep history from repeating itself. ** The Siren King ** YA, high fantasy || A magicless, homeless thief, Nera never expected to amount to anything. Then the queen’s prophet declared them to be a vital part of protecting the kingdom’s future, and Nera is sent on a quest to save everyone from a threat they know nothing about. ** Legacy Burning ** NA, thriller/horror || When the more people that knows about the enemy means the enemy appears all the faster, how are you supposed to fight them? When your fight seems impossible, how do you deal with the stress? A monster of cosmic proportions is coming, and Meliora isn't sure how her Pantheon is supposed to be enough to stop him. ((On hold, have to sort out some major plot holes))

- @ikilledmyocs​ unsuper prompts, day one / the selected ↳ a short writing exercise exploring worldbuilding backstory for saintless

transcript + taglist below the cut:

It’s hard to forget the day it all ended. Ends.

Ash turns the air orange. Brief flashes of blue provide no comfort. Humans run past them. Panic claws their chest. Their human chests and their angel chest. Some huddle against walls. Fear freezes them. Pull them along. Bodies find their stride. More humans run toward safety, salvation.

There are children. It’s difficult to keep track of them. They get lost in the rush and the noise. They are separated from family members. They are nearly trampled underfoot. A glimpse of brown hair. It’s lost in the crowd again.

An entire chunk of land crumbles to the left. Empty spaces where buildings were. Had anyone been there? Too late. Focus on the living. Here they come. Panic rises. Noises fade to a silent hum. One, two. How many gone past?

Their hands shake. They are coated in dust. Their throat burns from yelling commands. Words that stopped making sense days ago. Days? Or minutes? Move on.

A few stragglers rush past. The air is an even deeper orange. Is the silence real or just a part of the dying planet? Their ears ring. The dust and ash rising up should choke them. They can almost feel it. But oxygen is for humans. They’ll survive this.

Survivors?

It’s impossible to tell. There is only a roar, loud enough it is felt. Loud enough it wipes out all sound but itself. They can feel their borrowed skin begin to blister. To char. Their holy light rises up to meet it.

They are rushing back toward the gate. The air claws at their skin, tears off pieces. It tears at their wings. They could burn to drive it away. Reveal their true form. Righteous, holy fury. But it’s not the plan.

The last gate closes. This is how it ends.

WTW PREPTOBER PROMPTS – WEEK #1: PROTAGONIST ↳ the four povs of knights — maybe the real villain is ourselves after all.

i. serafine she doesn’t see herself as a villain. there is no factoring in pedestrian morality, it simply is logically best is what goes, regardless of the cost and destruction, regardless of emotions and physicals. she is heartless, because in business, it is the only way to survive.

ii. aredhel aredhel has a vision: a vision of the world as it should be — her world as it should be. morality is something she cannot afford. friends, family, relationships, they’re all distractions, there is nothing she wouldn’t sacrifice to achieve her means. as long as she gets to her endgame. 

iii. maribelle who is maribelle if not the unwitting hero of her own story? she knows what is best for the world and will act on it whether or not it is necessary. choice isn’t an option. manipulation is just another pawn in her long game. emotions is just another instrument in her tool kit.

iv. storm there is something so destructive about working with the enemy. storm sees herself on a mission, and she is willing to take it as far as she can with as many sacrifices as necessary. she can play camelot’s games as easy as breathing, behind her perfect emotionless mask as she takes on the world.

transcription and tag list under cut:

you watch the grainy television, wide-eyed

as humanity brushes fingers against the sky

and the painted fabric of night outside

your window has never seemed closer.

you sketch stars as high on the walls as you can reach,

always pencil, always small enough to smudge away

from the dull, flaking paint that defines

the cramped apartment you call home.

the krushchyovka is temporary, they say.

things will get better, and maybe if you were

a little older, a little wiser, you would have known

better than to believe them.

(but for now you are a child, and your mother’s embrace

is warm and enough and as long as you can rub away

the grime on the window everything will be alright.)

you tell your mother, “я хочу стать космонавтом.”

her back is curled as she irons clothing on the kitchen table

and you can almost see the wane smile behind the cracked

porcelain of her face. i want to be—

gravity wraps around your wrists as

you dream of rocket ships and space dogs,

something star-bright burning

in your chest that makes it hard to breathe.

you look up, and tonight you think perhaps the stars are looking back.
