Bookssss
Okay, so I am writing a book, and it’ll be about a girl, who continues to restart. That’s all you’ll get for now, and if the Tumblr gods are kind to me hopefully some human will find this, and tell me if they would actually like to hear about it, and maybe the chapter that i finished.

prompt #99 with any six of crows dynamic of your choice?
99. “We’re in an abandoned lodge in the middle of nowhere. Sure, you’re totally right, nothing bad could ever happen here.”
(I mean this is just the Helnik post-shipwreck right? Nothing terrible happened in that abandoned whaling lodge, did it?)
It isn't Jesper's fault.
No really, it isn't. It was Jesper's idea for him and Wylan to take the horses out for a ride, but it isn't his fault that they got lost - how was he supposed to know the trails had changed since he'd left Novyi Zem? Who had changed them, and why were they so utterly useless at making cairns? That wasn't on him.
And no one could be blamed for the freak summer storm. That had come from nowhere. Jesper has many powers, but none of them involved controlling the weather. That was a whole other order of Grisha.
At least they'd found the barn.
Still, it feels like an inauspicious start to their honeymoon. Trapped by pouring rain and what sounds like hail in a strange barn that has been empty so long it doesn't even smell like animals anymore.
"I'm sorry, love," Jesper breathes, as he slides off of his horse and offers Wylan a hand down.
Their new rings clink together as Wylan takes the offered help, a little less sure of himself on the horse, but he still has the bearing of a man who both knows what dressage is, and had competed in it when he was young enough to have earned himself some lifelong habits.
Wylan laughs at him, his face bright and open - Van Sunshine, Jesper thinks. He gets to live in that light for the rest of his life. Saints.
"Very rude of you to arrange a storm today," Wylan agrees, raising his arms to loop them around Jesper's shoulders. Jesper, for his part, finds his hands on Wylan's hips, and he's taken aback for the millionth time by how well their bodies fit together, how right they are for each other.
It doesn't hurt that Jesper is cold, and wet, and Wylan is very, very warm. They may have to cuddle for body heat. He hasn't decided yet if that's necessary, or if it can wait until they get back to the farm.
"You know," Wylan's fingers play gently with the short hairs at the nape of Jesper's neck. "It's a little romantic, isn't it? Getting caught in the rain together?"
Jesper loves this man, but he's beginning to remember why absolutely sane was never in his pros column.
"We're in an abandoned barn," Jesper says. "In the middle of nowhere. You think this is romantic?"
Wylan smiles and pulls Jesper's head down to their foreheads are touching. "Yes," he breathes. "I think it's romantic to be trapped by the rain with a handsome man who loves me. Even if we both smell like horses."
"I think this is how horror novels start," Jesper says, but he's smiling anyway. If he has to be trapped in a horror novel, at least he gets to be trapped with his new husband. "And I think that if a monster murderer comes for us, we're going to have to feed the horses to it, and then how will we get back?"
Wylan laughs, his shoulders shaking and eyes closed so that wrinkles decorate his face. "You are ridiculous, do you know that?"
Jesper can't help himself, he has to kiss his husband, has to feel their lips together. He hauls Wylan's body closer, reveling at the heat that radiates through their soaked clothing.
"Sure, you’re totally right, nothing bad could ever happen here," Jesper says, when they break apart.
And then Wylan kisses him again, and there's no need to talk anymore.

You ever wish your favorite sci-fi focused more on romance, comedy, and sexytimes than all that threats-to-the-galaxy stuff? Ever wanted a good boy-meets-robot alien polyamory story that still brings the space lasers and kicks a corporate CEO in the junk?
I did, so I wrote it. And now it's available in audio, narrated by the incredible Tess Irondale! (And ebook and paperback, of course!)
Riley Morgan desperately needs a reset on his life. Pit fights with aliens and illegal salvage jobs are barely enough to get by—until a salvage op turns up a beautiful stranger in a stasis pod and a clear case of kidnapping. Helping her means throwing away what’s left of his life. The trouble only gets deeper when the stranger turns out to be a wildly illegal artificial intelligence built for assassination.
Like Riley, Selene has been used and abused by her bosses… and like Riley, she longs for a life of her own choosing. Riley and Selene are ready for the struggle ahead. They aren’t ready for the dangerous and sexy aliens in their way, or the glitzy parties and corporate conspiracies, and they certainly aren’t ready for the spark between one another.
WARNING: HOT RESTART contains explicit violence, explicit sex, explicit language, polyamory, murder, kidnapping, assault, acrimony, perfidy, theft, numerous bisexuals, defenestrations, conspiracies, death and mourning, threesomes, space capitalism, interspecies hookup culture, surly co-workers, judgmental aliens, embarrassing humans, smuggling, stalking, strafing, lap-dancing, sexual promiscuity, self-discovery, self-defense, post-coital robo-violence, hedonism, exhibitionism, intimidation, surveillance, rejection, abrupt breakups, betrayals, ambushes, espionage, gang activity, false identities, pool hustling, alien/human sexytimes, questionable salvage practices, intended torture, destruction of private property, hallway foreplay, alien insectoid pseudo-anarcho-socialism, clueless appropriation of human culture for restaurant entrepreneurship, shooting, punching, kicking, flirting, taunting, aerial combat, abusive leadership, destruction of evidence, unsanitary transit through hotel ventilation, a CEO who isn’t trash, relationship boundary conversation during combat, outstanding man-ass, an amorphous alien gel-person looking for a good time, and protagonists dressed in their underwear or less for five consecutive chapters.

Neil still being my favorite part of the Sunshine Court is so typical
Anyway can I just say I was disappointed Andrew wasn’t there with him when he first showed up at the end.
And then immediately was floored again by how considerate and protective he is.
Andrew who has a fear of flights
Andrew who hates everything about California
Andrew who needs to stay with Kevin (and we know they won’t be bring him.)
And leaving him (all of his friends/family) in the place he will come back to so no one, not the Yakuza, the mob nor the FBI will accuse him of running away again.
He means it when he advises Jean to find something to hold on to. It’s the thing he found that makes him so compelling to me.
Also, I’ve seen it said already a thousand times but the cherry on top is him throwing a hit on another California rapist in a matter of seconds. I love one man!

Dear people, it FINALLY happened! Lancelot has finally admitted he’s in love with MC!
Now, given that BOMBASTIC finale, I wonder what happened for those who chose Arthur/Artura. Because MC is arrested due to infidelity, I’m guessing that if MC chose Arthur/Artura, she couldn’t be arrested on such grounds, right???
And I’m so STUPID that I didn’t even think of playing this chapter again to see what would be the outcome if I didn’t chose Lancelot.
PIXELBERRY, PLEASE! RELEASE AT ONCE THE OPTION TO REPLAY WHATEVER CHAPTER WE WANT WITHOUT RESTARTING THE BOOK!
