Finally doing this after 1527305 years. thanks @anoelleart

My words are: fear, growth, course, and small

Taking excerpts from "The Wolf Maid from the Sea" (previous working title "Bloodhound").

Fear

Akoúda hates how fear slithers inside of his body—into the cracks of his joints, into his gut, wrapping itself around his throat—as if it has made itself a home there.

Growth

Michele slips behind him as they descend deeper into the foot. Michele doesn't know where the firewood is headed, but anywhere is better than the shuddering darkness of his chambers, which seem to have grown smaller the longer he has stayed inside. 

Course

“Naturally.” Michele has learned to ignore this specific hypocrisy. Mending flesh is unclean unless, of course, commissioned by those more powerful than him. Those who, by virtue of their being, are justified in keeping the preserved dead in their grasp. Those for whom taboo is an eccentricity, not a crime.

Small

Black lips stretch over teeth which are too long and curled like tusks. Its yellow eyes are open wide, round and rimmed with red, pinprick pupils so small that Michele can scarcely see them.

Find Five Lines Tag

Thanks for the tag! @lynsterswritingblog

Rules: find a line in your WIP (can be dialogue or not) that fits the parameters given by the person who tagged you. Then change one of the parameters and tag more people.

Find a Line That:

1. Is About Light

During the day, the manor glittered. But they’d arrived at night, when the front gate towered over them, the central fountain whispered faintly, and the shadows loomed in the hallways.

2. Shows Tension

Charlotte felt Byron’s trepidation like a tremble in the air, like a tree branch barely holding on amidst a hurricane. She heard his every step and with each, her grip tightened. For a moment, she worried her cup would shatter.

3. Mentions Temperature

Realization hit her then like a hot knife through her sternum.

4. Is Said In Anger

“Why can’t you see that I did this for you? To protect you.” He was so close to her now. When he shouted, she felt the air vibrate between them.

5. Mentions/is about "Heart" or "Heartbeat"

“I must be a doll then, for so much love and so little regard – so little respect, for me. You call this love – how dare you call this love.”

tagged by @jezifster thank you!

Rules: find a line in your WIP (can be dialogue or not) that fits the parameters given by the person who tagged you. Then change one of the parameters and tag five or more people. Can be lines from multiple WIPs. If you can't find a line that fits, feel free to change the prompt.

Going to try to do a separate WIP for each since I have so many. We'll see how that turns out

Find a Line That:

1. Is About Light

Instinct commanded my eyelids to flicker open against the searing, all-consuming light, dragging them painfully across my all too dry eyes.

- Qliphoth

2. Is Said In Anger

Zaine's outstretched hand shook. “And you are suggesting that we leave a potentially world ending demon alone?”

- The Masked Ones

3. Mentions Texture

It felt like the water was getting thicker and thicker.

- Bleeding Black/Samsara Syndrome

4. Shows Tension

He stared at me as if he saw through that half lie, but if he did, he did not comment on it.

- Letting the Devil In

5. Mentions "Heart" or "Heartbeat"

The spell was broken and I jerked back, comically clutching my heart. “Ari, you killed me!”

- Blood and Purple Hyacinths

Thanks @k-v-briarwood!

My words are: hold, great, mar, beam, and gloom

Your words are: fear, growth, course, and small

Hold:

Holding the cigar in his teeth, he took off his suit jacket. “I hope you don’t mind,” he mumbled, balancing the cigar as he folded his jacket over the armrest. “I don’t.” She thought him strangely prudish – this was the most she’d seen him undress.

[Chapter 3]

Great:

“I love to remind myself that when great sharks can smell just one drop of blood, we can smell the rain."

[Chapter 9]

Mar:

Charlotte could have sworn a new streak of gray hair had marred the Empress’ locks, but it must have been her imagination. 

[Chapter 13]

Beam:

Images flooded her mind’s eye: of the sunbeams dancing on the water, of the blur of the trees above when she sank below the water’s surface, of a tall woman of dark complexion and hair as white as the moon

[Chapter 29]

Apparently out of 100,000 words, gloom isn't one of them ...

These are all from Eli.

Catch (ch 3)

Elias opens his mouth to argue, but Beth is quick to catch onto what he's thinking before he says it.

“I'm not saying I'm a doctor, it's a comparison. For the sake of clarity, however, I do have a Master's Degree.”

He closes his mouth.

Call (ch 3)

“Have you talked to him about that?”

“More times than I can count. He doesn't want to accept the truth, and he thinks he's actually got *friends in them— that he's got real relationships with them. It's really fucked up, and I'm worried that I'll get a **call from mom or Audrey one day that they found him in a ditch somewhere, or—,” he stops, upset at the idea. The deep coil of dread in his gut is making him nauseous, and he shakes his head. “I don't know. I'm worried about him.”

Class (ch 8- an excerpt from Elias' journal)

Over the course of the school year, Clara and I gradually became friends. We shared a taste for rock and heavy metal musicians, combat sports, and all things dark and broody. It was a pleasure to learn everything about her, and Clara seemed equally as interested in my life as I was about hers. I learned she went to kickboxing classes at a local gym, wanted to be a cosmetologist when she was older, and that her favorite animals were snakes and spiders—in equal degrees, apparently. It was sufficiently weird, enough to fit her style perfectly, and also exotic enough to catch my attention more than she already had. I'd shared my desire to become a clergyman, though then I was considering becoming a pastor rather than a priest in case I ended up falling even harder for her. Little did I know at the time, I would fall harder than I ever imagined.

Chase (ch 23)

Another corner, and Elias watches a few pedestrians jump out of Carter's way. He's the next thing that startles them, but he can't bring himself to care how insane he must look. Surely, to these people, this looks unhinged: a dog carrying a phone being chased down the street by a man with a knife.

If he wasn't so angry, it would almost be comical.

Close (ch 23)

Elias' blood runs cold, the idea that this could turn on him only just settling in. Of course Marco knows, he's close to that werewolf, and of course they would have talked. Why was he so stupid? He shouldn't have opened his mouth—

His thoughts are interrupted by said werewolf, Carter's sneakers sliding across rain-slick asphalt as he comes to a stop. He doesn't wait to catch his breath, phone in his hand. He expects a threat to call the police, but when Carter speaks, his focus shifts immediately.

“Elias, cut the shit or I'll go to Audrey with this,” Carter says, then hits a small play button. Elias' own voice mocks him through the phone's speaker, turning him to stone.

Belated thanks to @paintedbutton for the tag!!! Digging through my notifs, realized I haven't done this one yet! This is from the Traveling Bards (working title). The last few lines are pretty short actually, so I've combining three for a decent length.
