Uh. So. Hi. I promise I'm not dead out here.

Life has been chaotic and my brain hasn't been interested in doing anything I want it to lately.

But. We're trying here. On the bright side, my classroom is immaculate and ready for the new school year to start this week.

Anyways.

Thank you so much to every single one of you that have continued tagging me 😭 It means the world to still be included in everyone's Six Sentence Sunday and WIP Wednesday Posts -

@ic3-que3n @artsyunderstudy @shrekgogurt @wellbelesbian @aroace-genderfluid-sheep @hushed-chorus @aristocratic-otter @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @rimeswithpurple @j-nipper-95 @ivelovedhimthroughworse @foolofabookwyrm-activated @cutestkilla @confused-bi-queer @facewithoutheart

You are all amazing. And I'm sure there are names I've missed, but I only went back three weeks, haha.

Now, enough babbling from me. Here's what you're all here for - a variety of 6 sentences from some of my projects that are rotting my brain.

Eirly's (a COBB project with @artsyunderstudy & @shrekgogurt)

He’s alive. Everything I’ve done. Every line I’ve crossed. It was all worth it. Now if only he’d put down the bloody sword and help me out of this infernal trap. “Snow?” I call out to him.

Aster & Narcissus (a COBB project with @ivelovedhimthroughworse)

Still, there’s too much power nestled in his hand. I could sense it when we tumbled down the hill. It was like having a sparking ember crash into my chest. He was so warm in my arms as I grabbed onto him in the fall. And when I offered him my hand, I felt that power even more concentrated. Mixed with a feeling of unbridled urgency.

Infinity in Your Chest Pocket

Why is this slowly starting to feel like a date? It’s not. I know it’s not. But I still can’t stop my mind from wandering down a path where it is. As soon as Vera has left the room, I’m rushing to put my violin away and fish my phone from my jeans pocket. There’s no way I’m going to be able to handle being alone with Snow for an entire afternoon - watching him try on clothes and eating food with him.

An Untitled Project

"[redacted]," I plead. I beg. I've never been more desperate as I am in this moment. My heart has lodged its way into my throat. If [redacted] doesn't breathe, then neither will I. I'll choke on my own heart right here before I leave him.

Hello there my lovely friends. I hope you have all been doing amazing lately!!

Or Thursday. It's fine. We're pretending yesterday wasn't real right now.

These last two weeks have been brutal to my writing schedule. Being an adult is too much. Being responsible for other humans is overwhelming.

On the positive side, I have a million ideas and plenty of WIP's!! Just need to find the time to get to them. There's FOUR snippets under the cut that I need to stop staring at and just finish.

My current baby is still Infinity In Your Chest Pocket. Chapter 3 is coming along smoothly. It should be up SOON (I'm sorry it took so long @ionlydrinkhotwater )

Snow looks like a lost puppy as he follows our group through the shopping center. Or really, follows my cousin.

It reminds me of fifth year, when we couldn't do anything without Snow sniffing around us like a blood hound. Baz was going out of his mind by Spring.

He'd come out to his family the prior summer, and while it hadn't gone terrible it also wasn't great. Uncle Malcolm tried to act like Baz had never opened his mouth. So, Baz kept his mouth shut at school. Niall and I knew, but that was it.

There were a few opportunities when Baz could have made a derisive comment to Snow about his stalking habits that year, but he never did. I've always suspected his attitude towards Snow. I know how Baz treats someone he detests, and his treatment of Snow is not that. Not that I’m dumb enough to point that out to him.

Right now he's leading Snow around from shop to shop, acting like this is something we've always done together. As though Niall and I are just supposed to follow his lead.

Well, Niall does. They are best friends, and love shopping together. I'm more so here to carry their haul like some pack mull.

Snow has muscle, though, so when my arms start to get tired, I toss some bags his way. "Here, consider this your initiation to our group."

I swear I haven't abandoned Let's Avoid Spoilers, Darling either. The plot for this keeps shifting in my head. Originally, it was supposed to be very serious. But more and more ideas keep popping up in my head that border on crack. So I have to squash them routinely.

It’s locked. I growl, frustrated and try to turn the handle again.

“Stop.” Baz whisper-hisses at me, getting in my personal space.

“What are they hiding from us?” I demand.

“I don’t know, but my future-self is going to hear us if you keep trying to force that door open.”

Resigned, I let the door knob go. “So what do we do now?”

Without answering, Baz grabs me by the elbow and pulls me back into the room we’re sharing. “Right now? Nothing. We can’t go sneaking around this house so openly.”

“You think any of our future selves are going to leave us unsupervised long enough to sneak around except at night?” I ask.

This forces Baz to pause, crossing his arms and bringing one hand up to his mouth. He does this sometimes, it’s one of his plotting faces, chews on the pad of his thumb while he thinks.

My submission for EGF is also taking shape. Realistically, I wanted this to be a multi-chapter endeavor. But I think it's going to be a one-shot. We'll see.

I never thought that the hands that so deftly wield a sword, could be this delicate. The way Simon plucks my shirt buttons open with a smooth finesse is borderline hypnotic. He's gotten so good at it. If he really wants to, he can get a couple buttons undone without my noticing.

Normally, Simon is brute force and strength in everything that he does. But with me, it's the opposite. He treats me gently, reverently, just like I asked for when he decided to genuinely try.

When I finally feel the tips of his fingers on my newly exposed skin, it makes me shiver. The temperature contrast between us has my nerves feeling extra sensitive.

Finally, I had a random thought (and was then bribed by @ic3-que3n with their stunning artwork that I am willing to sell my soul for) to create a Witcher!SnowBaz AU. This is still in the planning process. I probably won't post anything for it until after EGF to balance my plate. So, it's just an outline for now.

Open the scene in a small desolate village at night with the streets empty

Simon is in the middle of battling [insert dark creature]

He defeats it easily with just a couple of scratches, nothing to be concerned about for him

Payment is left outside the village leaders home - no words are exchanged

Flashback Scene

Simon on his first hunt with [insert Witcher Mentor]

They’re explaining to Simon the real world practices of the Witcher trade

Hunting monsters at night

How villagers will likely not want to talk to him

How the world relies on them to keep the monsters in the dark at bay

Jump to next scene of Simon in a different town, talking to an innkeeper about a monster problem

Someone tries to hire Simon as a mercenary

Comments about Witcher’s not having emotions/feelings & only looking for coin are made

Simon ignores them and the men

Flashback Scene

Simon is in the market with other young boys from Kaer Morhen

The boys are offered coin for a small job

End up robbing an innocent shop-keep

Simon feels extreme guilt for his actions

While I have been spending too much time just staring at blank documents lately, I have still been writing a lot. But not alone. So I won't share pieces from them. BUT I have been role-playing with two amazingly talented individuals.

@buffy has me going feral over our snowbaz mpreg plot. It's so emotional. Has literally made me cry. I love it. We need to check our word count cause I think we’re over 40k now.

And @upuntil6am has me head over heels for our tender snowbaz a/b/o dynamic plot. It's tooth rotting sweet (for now, I swear you can trust me though) and I need more of it at all times.

We're not going to talk about the fact I need an idea for COBB still.

Thank you to @confused-bi-queer @hushed-chorus @shrekgogurt @johnwgrey and on Sunday @palimpsessed for all the tags these last few days ♥️ I do see them and they make me so happy to be included in the community of this lovely Fandom.

I'll forgo tagging back since it's. You know. Thursday.

Finally got around to updating this baby 🥳 It's a little birthday treat to myself.

This chapter took a stupid amount of time because I just wanted Mordelia to be perfect. And life. So much life. I need a vacation, haha.

But I do have a break coming up! And I plan to use it to get ahead on all my fics and WIPs

Anyway. Enjoy!!

Cutting it close to the wire with 2 minutes left of WIP Wednesday!!

I went back to work this week and have had very little time to write, but I dove in today when I saw I was tagged by the lovely @fatalfangirl @palimpsessed and @nausikaaa

My mission is to have Chapter 2 of Infinity in Your Chest Pocket uploaded by Saturday! I'm nearly done with this chapter. It's been a challenge to write.

We're setting the stage for Simon and Baz to spend the summer together, so it was a lot of dialog.

Here's a little snippet from Malcolm's perspective!!

As he talks, a plot forms in my head. Simon Snow is an orphan who has been shown nothing of the Old Families and our ways. If I offer him a bed in my home, perhaps I can properly educate him – convince him that he should join our side of the war.

And even if he doesn’t switch sides, the Mage will likely be suspicious of his heir for spending weeks with the enemy. Either way, it benefits our side.

“Mr. Snow,” I begin after he finishes his tale of the events that transpired. “I understand that the Mage normally has you reside in a care home over the summer?”

He nods.

“While I understand he’s your mentor, I must say that I feel the Mage is making a grave mistake with this decision.” Mr. Snow bristles at that – clearly biting his tongue.

“It’s clear that there is a great deal that you don’t know about your own world, and I would like to help you with that.” Basilton has turned away from the window, watching the exchange with a neutral expression. I’ve taught him well. “How would you feel about spending the summer here, at Pitch manor?”

I'm not going to tag anyone, considering the day is basically done! Maybe next time!!

Things I am fabulous at : working on a million WIPS

Things I am terrible at : actually uploading progress on my WIPS

My poor Infinity In Your Chest Pocket was forced to the back burner these last two months, but I’m hoping to finish up this current chapter soon and get back into a regular posting schedule for it.

Thank you to everyone that keeps tagging me in Six Sentence Sundays and WIPs Wednesdays - I do appreciate it. And it does encourage me to keep writing when I’ve had a rough day. (Writing makes me genuinely happy, and I need to do things that make me happy more.)

So, have 7 (whoops, I can’t count - it’s why I don’t teach math) sentences of a pining Baz watching Simon eat pancakes in his bedroom.

He has absolutely no table manners – just shoveling the food in his mouth. I want to shove my tongue in his mouth. To lick the syrup from the back of his teeth and get lost in him.

The thought isn’t unusual for me. I spend a concerning amount of both my waking and sleeping hours thinking of Simon Snow. Fantasizing about all of the ways he’ll never touch me. It’s probably unhealthy - letting my thoughts run rampant all the time, but if it’s all I’m ever going to get I have to take it.

I've been off Tumblr for a hot minute, but started to resurface when I decided to become an active member in some of my favorite Fandoms again!

And I've noticed that Wednesdays have become a day to post your WIP's, so I'm gonna hop on the bandwagon. (Even if it is the last one of the year. Better late than never.)

I technically have 3 WIP's right now, but I'm gonna focus on the one I'm most excited about.

Soooo, here's a little snippet of Chapter 2 of "Infinity in Your Chest Pocket"

September was so far away, and knowing Baz he would pretend like nothing happened between us.

Something happened between us. I don’t know what exactly, but there was this sinking feeling in my chest that wasn’t there before.

The Humdrum had taken both of us, and he’d gone right after Baz. He’d done something to Baz when he’d touched him. Whenever I closed my eyes the sound of Baz’s cry haunted me.

I never wanted him to make that sound again.

But we were apart. I couldn’t protect Baz if the Humdrum came for him at his home. I didn’t know how to teleport like the Humdrum.

Bloody hell, who am I kidding? I don’t even know a good tracking spell to find Baz. Let alone teleport to him.
