Writeblr Intro

Hello friends, I'm NightingaleFlow. Feel free to call me Night, Gale, Flow, or Nightingale, whichever floats your fancy. You might know me from my fandom blog, @nightingaleflow.

About Me: I'm currently in my 30's, bisexual, my pronouns are she/her or they/their, and I'm a cat parent as well as an aspiring author. My degree is in Philosophy & Religion, though originally I studied Film. My favorite color is purple, my favorite food is sushi, and my favorite article of clothing is a pair of black sweatpants.

This Blog: This is my official writeblr for my original writing content. I'll be posting snippets, participating in writing/ask games, reblogging and posting writing advice, and just generally vibing with my original works.

Genres: I tend to prefer either very dark horror or super intense romance for both reading and writing. However, for both, I will gladly explore anything if it catches my interest.

My Current WIPs (as of 10/07/2023):

Main WIP:

Even Death May Die: Death searches for the perfect soul to replace them...and they just might have found them.

Other WIPs:

Mage Princess: A princess, born in a kingdom that forbids magic, may just be the most powerful mage to ever exist.

Eternity: A woman accidentally sends herself to the underworld when trying to bring the person she cared the most about back to life.

Labyrinth: A serial killer puts nine people in a deadly maze that only one can escape alive.

Black Friday: A serial killer takes advantage of Black Friday to trap and kill people in a store.

The Girl in the Mirror: A girl receives a new mirror only to realize there's someone trapped inside.

The Winner: A woman who doesn't want to win the lottery wins the lottery.

I'm interested in making friends with other writers and look forward to being part of the lovely writeblr community. If you're interested in any of the above, drop a like/reblog/hello. I can't wait to meet you all!

E N T E R T H E L A B Y R I N T H

In the Labyrinth, they talk of gods.

They whisper between their fingers and sweeten their breath with the tales of titans of old who once stood so tall that a single breath would cause earth-tremors, their steps reshaping the ground trod beneath them. Their fingers were the tools that smoothed the mountains into points, shaped and carved the ridges and valleys in between. If you hike far enough, one woman claims, if you travel to a point where the oxygen is thin and your vision blacks, you can make out a partial print against the mountainside. You can run your own fingers along its length and still feel the titan’s warmth as if his palm were pressed right against yours.

The woman says, It is a thing of worship. It is a thing of devotion.

In the Labyrinth, they ask you to make you make your body anew before the King of the High Hills. They say that you are alive because you must suffer for the life and love of the Lord, that you must open your body and let him lick along your flesh so that he may taste the endlessness of his perpetual reign.

In the Labyrinth, there is no escape from his touch.

“You have a heavy burden upon you,” the headmaster was saying, teeth and eyes all a glitter under the amber cast candles. “I am not unsympathetic to the arduous path ahead of you—but please understand that this suffering must be experienced for the longevity of the king, for the beautiful life ahead of him. Only he is the one who can shed mortality and raise to the gods, because he is the only one strong enough, courageous enough, to count the cost of living forever. You must succeed where others have failed. You, this class, this is our last chance to mend what has been made broken. You must. You must.”

The Mouths of Elysium is a dark-academia fantasy created with Twine where your choices matter to the story. You live inside the Labyrinth, a maze that hates to become known with walls and paths that change every hour. The center of the Labyrinth sits a university that has been there since the beginning of time; its only purpose is to recruit students who can solve the puzzle of life, who can create an elixir that would allow the King of the High Hills to live past the length of forever. Failure means a fate worse than death.

You are one of those students.

Althea Callaghan - You know her in death. She has been the taste of rot against your tongue, the anger and hurt in your palms. You see the nice, beautiful lines of her teeth and become a creature of grief unfolding unto yourself. Debase yourself with the fervent want of her. Bend at your waist and beg for forgiveness.

You hate her. You want to watch her bleed. She feels the exact same about you, but what she doesn't know is that every waking moment of your life is dedicated to her.

The Princess/Prince - The forgotten child of the throne. The 405th child of His glorious reign. Divinity runs through their veins, the heir to so much power, but they will never see themselves rule the unforgiving landscape of the Labyrinth. Their fate is to die and be buried amongst the endless graves of their dead brothers and sisters. They must do this so the King may live forever.

A fully customizable MC including gender, appearance, and sexuality

A landscape of horror. A landscape that hates you and everyone who might try to understand it. Go beyond the walls and be witness to a reality worse than death

Key choices that will influence your game and experience. Will you succeed or fail?

Learn what it means to be forgiven. Learn what it means to suffer. Become devotion. Become loyalty. Make your body anew before the King of the High Hills

I had a realization :

Spiritual twins from different dimensions, they have so many common points.

#is this my cue to reread Magi like I've been wanting to for weeks? #I cannot be normal about magi if i reread it my hyperfixation will be back #and i'll have to abandon all my wip to draw magi fanarts #5 years #that's how long it lasted last time #sousou no frieren #frieren at the funeral #sheherazade magi #magi the labyrinth of magic #frieren

Hi dear author, hope you're doing well!! I was just wondering, do you perhaps any WIP snippets of Shea that you could show us?? Anything at all, even if it's crumbs, I miss them so much 🥺 but only if you want ofc!!! Otherwise I'll patiently wait here with the ring I've prepared for them haha

Hi, thank you! Hope you're doing well, too. 💜

I don't have any recent snippets but I've posted a few Shea-related ones in the past:

Downpour

Moonlight

Feral

Meeting

I hope that these will tide you over in the meantime. :')

#had a few more but they've been lost to the treacherous maw of tumblr dot com search #and the labyrinth that is my wip folder #note that these are not very ~romantic~ or anything like that I've always kinda preferred to save scenes like that for the actual game #slowburn for the readers lol #they do shed some light on the relationship between shea and the helvling =) #shea clane #asks

[wordswrittenbynight]

I know it's a writer thing to joke about being on watchlists for the things we research but I've now searched about ten different versions of "how to make [a certain thing] kill people" and I feel like I'm about to get a knock on the door any second.

Summary:

While snake-sitting, Crowley finds and reads a certain book. He did not expect, upon wishing said snake away, to be whisked into a world of magic. What do you do while on a mission to rescue a snake in distress? Fall in love with the angel guarding it of course! You don't need all your braincells to survive, right? Labyrinth x Good Omens I haven't written the rest of the story yet, but I have ideas and so will be aiming for once a week.
