Two Lines

Will shifted restlessly, throwing another glance at the locked bathroom door. His fingers itched to tap-tap-tap his nerves away, a terrible habit that his mother despaired of, and he pulled out his phone instead. Another five minutes had passed. Surely, it must have been long enough by now.

He raised his hand to knock, but his knuckles froze against wood as he heard the click of the lock. He stepped back, almost tripping over his heels in his haste and the door swung open. Nell stood before him, her hair tangled into clumps like she’d been clutching it between her hands.

“Well –?”

Nell shook her head, shoving something hard and plastic into his hand as she brushed passed him. Will looked down. One line.

“Talk to your mother,” Nell said, and the bedroom door swung closed behind her with a deafening click.

Chapter 2: Pearl

Here is the next installment!

The boy woke slowly, throughout the course of the afternoon. The second time, Florin sent him back to sleep again. The third time, she made him drink a bit of water, and the fourth time, he woke up for real, enough to communicate. She heard him stir, then walked into the bedroom to find him trying to sit up.  “There, there, dear.” She bustled over, grasping his elbow to make him lie back. “Don’t…

To all the people commenting on my 20lb ass story to tell me I wrote it like a three brothers fairy tale:

You get me.

#ramblies #funny #I love fairy tales and good things come in threes and it works well in modern storytelling #but the fact that people noted the influence gives me no end of delight

A delivery girl and a prince meet on the road to the palace.

Maybe she works in the little hamlet nearby at a shop her stepmother owns that sells coffee and hand-made goods while her lazy stepsisters mooch off the shop's profits. She probably delivers soap and such to the palace for the servants on her bike since her stepsisters hog the only car.

one thing that always gets me whenever i read inuyasha modern au fics is that inuyasha is supposedly "the slacker" or the guy who doesn't try hard on anything academia related, and that always struck me as odd bc you're telling me inuyasha wouldn't be competing with, say, koga for rank 1? that he wouldn't study his ass off in the subjects he's actually interested in? that he wouldn't pour his everything into extracurriculars he cares about? he has his aloof moments in canon but ultimately he's a hard worker and i think that trait should be reflected in aus!

plus if we're thinking about the setting here, inuyasha's canon behavior is greatly influenced by his upbringing (and later lack thereof). putting him in an environment (modern au, lack of youkai discrimination) where his talents are cultivated instead of looked down upon would give us a very different character. it's always interesting to me whenever i see canon-typical inuyasha behavior in an au where his mom is alive because it suggests that his mistrust and gruff behavior are just part of his personality and not largely a result of childhood events. i feel like modern aus are an opportunity to see how he might have grown if not for the death of his mother + father & the consistent threat looming over him as a child. what would his personality be like then? how would his first meeting with kagome go considering that? his dynamics with his older brother? his goals? it's something that could be explored in a fic taking place in the feudal realm but it's kind of difficult to just subtract the discrimination aspect that comes with that setting...just things to think abt ig!

#also saw a reblog so IM CLEARING MY NAME LMAO #koga would not even be in the top five #he was just the first person who came up when i thought of inuyasha competing w someone lol #also needs to be said that i haven't read that many modern au fics #probably because i'm not the biggest fan of em #but this is just smth i noticed from the ones i read #i also see a lot of miroku and inuyasha being besties in these fics #which isn't bad or anything but i feel like he'd be friends with sango before miroku since they seem to mesh better #also to clarify i am NOT hating on fics that do any of the things i mentioned #headcanons are headcanons and ppl should have fun! #this is just my opinion lol take it with a grain of salt #i've only ever written like three inuyasha fics and haven't even finished the manga so i'm no expert on his character #anyway enough of my rambling #inuyasha #inuyasha a feudal fairy tale #inuyasha meta #inumeta #sango inuyasha #koga inuyasha #kagome higurashi #miroku inuyasha

Announcement

I don't know if I am the only person on the planet who does this, but when I get stuck on my manuscript I write myself little fairy tales set in my own version of Faerie but in slightly off-kilter universes. I use different versions of my characters and I try to figure out how they'd behave in situations they'd never be in, or I think of situations they'd never be in and try to figure out what sort of world fits around it. It's weird and kind-of embarrassing but I put a lot of time into some of these things. To whit, I'm going to blog them. You're welcome, I guess?

Oh, If you like what I'm doing, preorder my book right here: https://a.co/d/60Bb0qe
