meet sasha and kiyoshi, disaster duo

going off this poll, i've decided to share a snippet of my original work ft. the main protagonist and her boyfriend :> more under the cut!!

.

      Sasha sucks in a deep breath and steps in front of the couch. Immediately, her boyfriend’s eyes flick up from his phone screen to her face.

      ‘Kiyoshi.’

      ‘Yes, Sash?’

      With as much will as she can muster, Sasha says, ‘I need your help with something. Something only you can help me with.’

      ‘Sure!’ Kiyoshi declares, and his enthusiasm is enough to cause a small smile to tug at Sasha’s lips. ‘What is it?’

      That small smile quickly falls apart and dread fills every crevice of Sasha’s being. But she needs to do this. She has to. It’s the only way. It’s the worst idea she’s ever had.

      ‘I can’t believe I’m saying this, but…’ She shakes her head, wincing at the words that come out of her mouth. ‘D’you wanna go to the gym… together?’

      The following silence is devastating. Sasha wants to dig a hole into the floor and crawl into it.

      Kiyoshi blinks at her, his mouth agape. ‘Huh?’

      Groaning into her palms, Sasha bites, ‘Please don’t make this more painful than it already is. Just say yes or no, dammit!’

      ‘Sasha…’ Peeking through her fingers, she sees Kiyoshi dump his phone onto the cushion next to him and hold his hands out to her, palms up. ‘As much as going to the gym together would make me very happy, I also know you.’

      There is no malice in his voice, just pure fact. He does know her, and she knows herself. Kiyoshi’s the sporty one, the gym rat, the muscle pig. Sasha is… not.

      ‘Which is exactly why I need you to motivate me to go. Who knows what can happen in the future?’

      ‘The future?’ Alarm is rife in his expression. ‘Babe, where are you going with this?’

      Sasha drops her hands from her face, her voice turning dry as she shoots Kiyoshi a weary look. ‘Well, y’know how it goes. All those YA novels. The trope is always the same: the protagonist didn’t know they were magic, and then all of a sudden they need to save the fucking world and they are very conveniently armed with MMA knowledge and are super fit and have amazing stamina and know how to hold their own in a spontaneous fight with otherworldly creatures. As you know, I am the complete opposite, so I better start training in case one of my future goddamn visions ends up being a plot to destroy the world and I’m somehow the only fucking person who can stop it.’

      Gasping for air, Sasha tries to catch her breath and curses her lungs for not being to do their job properly. It just hammers the truth of the matter right down to its core. Kiyoshi is frowning, deep in thought, but there’s something in his expression that flickers ever-so-slightly. She knows what’s up. He’s trying to keep his face neutral, and if her nerves weren’t so shot, she’d be doing the same.

      ‘Tell me I’m wrong,’ she says to him instead.

      ‘Sasha. My love.’

      It’s inevitable and Sasha cannot blame him for it. No longer able to keep his face straight, Kiyoshi crumbles and peals with laughter. Never mind that Sasha glares at him.

      ‘My love, I adore you, but you are thinking way too hard about this.’

      ‘I gotta be prepared, Kiyoshi!’ Sasha argues.

      ‘You are prepared!’ he counters. When all Sasha does is stare at him, question marks flying around her head, Kiyoshi puffs out his chest and states with confidence, ‘You have me! Ya think I’m gonna let ya fight alone should one break out? Girl, please. I’ll always have your back. Just say the word and I’ll come and one-two punch the living shit out of whoever tries to mess with you!’

      The whole scenario is emphasised with Kiyoshi’s signature grin, the one Sasha’s seen flashed at the opposing team during his volleyball matches, and with him flexing his biceps. The whole thing is hilarious, and Sasha would laugh if not for the overwhelming fondness that blooms across her whole chest. God, she got lucky with this guy.

      But there’s just one small problem with his proposal.

      She says gravely, ‘That’s sweet of you, darl, but I hate to break it to you... you don’t have MMA skills either.’

      Kiyoshi blinks. Sasha blinks back.

      ‘Guess we’re fucked then,’ he says.

      ‘Guess we are,’ she echoes.

      ‘Better go train then.’

      ‘Better go train.’

      Tapping a finger to his chin, Kiyoshi’s voice suddenly becomes pensive. ‘Say, wanna place a bet?’

      Not one to back down from a challenge, Sasha asks, ‘What kind of bet?’

      Dark eyes sparkle and Sasha’s hooked.

      ‘If you can survive two consecutive days training at the gym with whatever regime I throw at you to “prepare for the end of the world,’ Kiyoshi pitches, ‘I’ll do whatever you want for a week.’

      ‘A month,’ Sasha rebuts, smiling when Kiyoshi nods his head in agreement. Then she pauses. ‘And if I can’t?’

      She regrets the question the second it passes her lips for an evil-looking grin splits Kiyoshi’s cheeks.

      ‘Kiyoshi—’

      ‘If you can’t,’ he says, ‘you have to eat my famous stir-fry.’

      Horrified, Sasha splutters, ‘Kiyoshi—’

      ‘Broccoli and all. Every. Last. Bite.’

      ‘You fucking arsehole!’ she shouts. Seeing no other alternative that won’t end up with this conversation being a waste, Sasha throws her hands up in defeat. ‘Fine! Just you wait. I’ll fucking do it.’

Two days later

      She storms out of the living room, not wanting to give her boyfriend the satisfaction, but his delighted laughter follows her. It’s contagious, and she laughs quietly to herself. But her determination is stronger.

.

      ‘I gotta say, Sash. I’m very surprised,’ he says in awe.

.

Watching Sasha drop the weights on the floor with a deep groan, Kiyoshi’s mouth turns down at the corners.

      With her hands on her knees, huffing and puffing and wishing for a long, long shower, Sasha peers up at him through her eyelashes. Her hair is stuck to her forehead, disgustingly damp with sweat, and her arms are screaming at her, but she manages a smug grin.

      ‘What can I say?’ she wheezes. ‘I’d rather kill my arms and legs, hack a lung out and feel like death than put Satan in my mouth.’

      Kiyoshi laughs and smiles hugely at her. ‘I can see that! I’m super proud of you though.’

      He makes a heart with his hands to exemplify this, and Sasha barely manages to make one as well.

idk who else specifically is interested, but i'm tagging @alastairstom since you wanted to read ajksdas ♡

HEALY THIS SOUNDS SO EPIC!?!?

Hello!

My 🖋 name is Healy Matthews. I'm an up-and-coming author who enjoys writing queer romance novels, usually of the historical and/or fantasy varieties.

I've decided to take the leap and dive into the early stages of self-publishing my debut novel WIELDER. I'm still deciding precisely what the next steps will be, but it's likely that I will be initially publishing through a Kickstarter campaign sometime this summer.

Meet Mona and Pippa, the main characters!

WIELDER is a sapphic fantasy novel that walks the line between young adult and new adult. The summary is as follows:

Time is fragile. It is cracking, breaking, and coming apart at the seams, and Pippa Pennippa has no idea. As an aspiring journalist from Chicago, Pippa sees the past as her muse. She draws inspiration from it, looking to its stories to forge her future. Little does Pippa know that nearly two hundred years earlier, another girl is looking to forge in her own future. Mona Spirea’s dream is to be a Forger- a blacksmith who creates weapons for supernatural cult of time-travelers that call themselves Wielders. It is her sacred duty, along with others of her race, to utilize their magic and the weapons at their disposal to prevent time from collapsing in on itself. Mona enjoys the rituals and regimen of the Wielders, and she believes in her mandate. She certainly does not expect Pippa, a girl from the future, to break into both her home and her heart. As Pippa discovers her identity as a Wielder, the Anarchists, a group of rogue time-travelers, begin to close in. Both Mona and Pippa must fight through betrayals brought by those they love. They will need to overcome oppression from those taking advantage of their own authority if they want to keep time itself from disintegrating… and save countless lives. But it seems that Pippa must face another obstacle as well: the fact that she is unwittingly in possession of one of the most powerful - and dangerous - magical talismans in existence.

If you're a fan of weapon-obsessed Vicrorian autistic lipstick lesbians, bisexual accidental-time-travelers who really just want a cup of coffee, pretty dresses from different time periods, disaster sunshine musicians from 1920s Harlem, stories that explore trauma, general timey-wimey weirdness, or gossamer-and-gothic vibes, this book is for you.

[vwritesaus]

well…3, 4, 16, 27, 29 <3 p.s. i know most of these are the same you asked me, but girl, that was hard!! i already know the answers to some of them and the others had already been asked haksjs <33

~

asjkhasd girl for real, it was the same for me when i was trying to pick which ones to ask you xD i'm excited to answer these, thanks for sending them in babe hehe <333

3. Favourite food?

SIGHS. i have too many favourites to have just one, agnes!! how could you do this to me!? /lh like seriously... pasta... noodles... rice... pizza.... burgers.... roasted veggies.... soup.... curry.... cake... biscuits.... I LOVE IT ALL???

honestly it'd be easier to list what i don't like/isn't a favourite lol

4. Favourite drink?

now this one is easier. coffee and tea!!

16. Do you have any tattoos? If not, would like to?

i don't have any tattoos, but i would love to have some :> i've got ideas for three i'd like: a tlh-themed piece, a taurus constellation and a general book/reading-themed piece!!

27. Who was your favourite childhood crush?

hahah oh my god. i'm going straight to fictional & celebrity because the irl crushes i had didn't last long enough to be favourites. also like, i wouldn't label them as childhood crushes because we're talking more pre-teen/early teens? but whatever works i guess lol

fictional? flynn rider.

celebrity? skander keynes.

and before my little pre-bisexual epiphany, i was actually enamoured by SO many female characters/celebrities as well... i just didn't realise it at the time

29. What’s your dream date?

idk if i'm going to be labelled as boring or predictable for this, but anything along the lines of cafe/brunch, book shops, parks, stargazing or night-ins doing movie/tv show marathons, mutual skincare, takeaway dinner or cooking new food together is so perfect to me <3333

... i did say i was a romantic, didn't i?

let your followers get to know you asks ♡

#asks ♡ #drunkonimagination #v loves agnes #ask game #regarding the last question: I JUST WANT TO BE LOVED OKAY #SUE ME FOR IT IDC

[vwritesaus]

Could we possibly get a snippet of the next chapter 👀👀

~

i assume you mean timeless, anon?? i already got some ch2 sneak peeks here ✨ but here's another little snippet ft. the carstairs siblings hehe:

      ‘Oneish,’ [Cordelia] answers. She turns back to the mirror, picking up her hairbrush again and resuming her task in making her hair look less of a rat’s nest and more of a human head. For courtesy’s sake, she then asks, ‘Are you seeing Charles today?’       Alastair lets out a noise not unlike a braying horse.       ‘Yeah, if he doesn’t cancel on me again, which is most likely going to happen, but one can hope for a miracle.’       ‘You know you can just say the word, right?’ Cordelia informs him frankly. ‘Say it, and I’ll happily put Charles in his place once and for all.’       ‘There’s really no need for that,’ Alastair says quietly.       ‘Isn’t there?’       Alastair doesn’t reply.

8, 9, 12, 13, 22, 28 🤍

~

hey lovely, thanks for sending these in!! so:

8. How many languages do you know?

2! english is my first language and i know enough serbian to be able to have a basic conversation. i can read and write in it too but it will take me ages to do it and be riddled with grammar mistakes. other than that, i'm an active learner of japanese and italian but am nowhere near an intermediate level lol

9. What's your all time favourite movie/tv show?

god, this is a hard question because there are just so many i love so so much. but since i have to pick... tangled for fav movie and haikyuu!! for fav tv show :>

12. Your favourite music genres?

rock and alternative rock are definitely up there, but i also do love a bit of k-pop, traditional folk and classical! and soundtracks are always great when i want something without lyrics and am feeling (especially) in an "epic" mood ahaha

13. Your dream place to visit?

right now?? a particular place in italy to see a certain someone who lives there... (you know who you are). i'd also LOVE to go to japan.

22. Best memory you could think of?

i won't lie. i'm drawing a huge blank for this question. not because i don't have happy memories, but i simply cannot think of a single one that i would call the "best" at this exact moment.

i suppose i can say one of the best would be that europe trip i took in 2014 with my schoolmates and teachers. it was only 2 weeks, but it was the first time in my life i had travelled alone/without my family and also it was... idk, liberating?? sorry i can't come up with a better answer right now ajshasd

28. Are you a romantic?

oh, 100%. i will smother the shit out of my SO if/when the day comes with all the love i hold in this body haha. seriously though, i find the joy and intimacy in the little things, and the world can be so beautiful, y'know?
