you ever sit down to write and then re-read the chapter/page you left off on and get so hooked in your own story that you don't end up writing at all?

#i am my own target audience #we love #aasoaf 3 #personal

[illjustpretend]

When one door closes…

They say deep in the hearts of men, Behind the doors of flesh and imagination, Nestled in the fabric of time and permanence, There exists a Clock.

Locked away in the palace of each Soul’s making, In an endless place where many sovereigns reign, But one where there is no line of succession, Nor holy anointment…

“If he didn't wake up from this, if he wasn't here tomorrow, no matter. For I know he'd be waiting for me in the afterlife or some safe celestial place, in this life and the next and the next one after. And for whatever there is on the road that follows from here, it would only require my patience to get to him again. You see, to be in love with him makes life no great mystery.”

Friday Kiss Tag

I was tagged by @oh-no-another-idea here, thank you so much! 💙

Rules: post a smooch from your writing for Friday. It can be as light as a peck or as intense as a makeout. It can be romantic or platonic or familial. As long as a smooch takes place it’s free reign!

The snippet below is from AASOAF 3, featuring my favorite on again off again couple, Fay and Wilkes.

She looked at me through hazy eyes, becoming, for those few moments, the woman I knew in my youth. The one whose skin had been shucked off by the violence of life and living. The one who pleaded to be loved through every gaze even though she spoke as if she were the rare sort whose purpose it was to be unloved. The one who crossed her very nature to welcome me into her arms…

“I want to dock at Kinsler’s Nest.” She whispered. “But I can’t do that if you’re not there and I’m not here…”

“Can you trust me?”

She took my hand in hers and raised it to her lips, brushing the back of it with her warm breath. My scales prickled. “No.”

“Then why?”

“Because…” She kissed my knuckles tenderly. “You’re the greatest weapon there is.”

“And what is that?” I asked softly as I raised her chin.

She closed the gap between us, eyes glittering with her signature avarice. “A shield. You're not made to hurt me. You try...but you can't... And nothing has changed. I still hate you. I still want you gone. So don't make this a reason...”

“Woman of mine, I don’t need a reason to be wanted by you…” I brushed my lips against hers gently.

She kissed me back. “Liar.”

Find The Word

I decided to pick up @lavender-laney's open tag here because it had some nice words 💙

Tagging (gently): @tabswrites @theprissythumbelina @squarebracket-trick @lorenfinch @liv-is

Your words will be: ache, mortal, ancient, divine

melancholy

“What happened?” I asked as I took the kerchief Axtapor offered me and knelt beside them.  “It is an old wound…” They groaned, “From time to time, it opens up.” “Please move your hand. We must stop the bleeding.” “Worry not. I will not perish from this.” They put out a hand to stave off mine. “Please let me help you.” I pleaded softly. They fixed several eyes upon me, each quivering with a foreign and weighty melancholy. “Please.” “It is an old wound.” They repeated, dropping their hand away from it. 

moon

Every surface was painstakingly carved with motifs depicting the grandeur of The Holtep Empire. The rising of their divine goddess Kava, spear pointed heavenward, and whose features were sharp enough to cut stone. The triumphs of many storied warriors, among them the familiar one of the Son of the Moon, greatsword victoriously aloft as the moon gave way to the shining sun. And of course, their emblem, that of a three-headed Lizardfolk clutching Oepus in its claws. A reminder that they believed themselves to be kings. Gods even. And each work, robed in rich red and gold paints, lustered with an incomparable fire and life in this western sun.

fragile

They seemed like something out of Alma’s stories about heroes and vanquishable villains. Tall and mighty. Frightening. The way everything in the world looked to a girl like me. What a stupid little thing I’d been. Had I known just how fragile it all was, these doors, the flesh of hurtful men, well, I should have never been afraid. 

stream

She lay against my chest with a quiet sigh as the light from the morning sun streamed across her face and shoulders. It caught against the scars on her back, spidering cracks across this perfect moment. I sighed as the weight of it all settled upon me again. If there was not some measure of good news soon, I might buckle underneath it all. I couldn’t afford that.

I've been tagged over the course of the last month by so many lovely peeps to share some form of Last Line, Heads Up Seven Up, 9 Lines etc, and because my brain is everywhere these days, I decided to combine these and just share some lines with y'all!

Leaving this as an open tag to anyone who would like to share lines of their own!

cw: mild body horror, blood, asphyxiation

From AASOAF 3:

I dropped to my knees as something bloodcurdling cut through the air; a haunting and piercing cry, followed by the most pleasant and airy laughter. The two sounds battled with one another, but they were not just making noise. They were speaking. A tongue so ancient, but familiar all the same. As if I'd heard it in a dream. Or perhaps another life. I forced myself to listen, but could only make out a single word: traitor. The sound of a maelstrom entered the fray, drowning out both voices and then the lake brightened, emitting great warmth as if the sun itself lurked beneath its surface. From it rose two pale female bodies. They were locked in a tight embrace, both barely clothed and exposing the knuckles of their spines. On the back of their necks, an eye of a bright blue with a golden pupil. They were perfect replicas of one another. Both horrifyingly shrunken and so pale, nearly translucent. A crunch followed. Their heads fell back to look at me and they cried out for help, tears of blood dripping from where their two eyes should be. I backed away fearfully, crushing the delicate lilies around me with the heels of my palms. Their cries rose louder and louder and with them came a pressure pressing down and down on my chest. Stealing air. Stealing warmth. I gasped. The lake churned furiously, and a great fire wrapped their bodies. Screaming gave way to squealing and a high pitched hissing. The sound bounced about the room, finding pockets where it resonated and thundered. My hands were uncooperative, numb and stupid, as I tried to shield my ears. And now it burned deep inside me. My head lolled back, facing what would be the sky. Horror-incarnate knelt so I could see her form--the familiar visages of the gods, shadowed and desperate. And as my vision faded and my body lightened, a single phrase prevailed. Save us.

OC Description Tag

I was tagged by @tabswrites here , thanks so much! 💙

Rules: Share an excerpt from your WIP that describes one of your OCs.

I had to jump on this immediately because I have been basically eating my hand for the opportunity to share this little passage I wrote for AASOAF 3 describing Fay.

To my left was the frightening woman I knew as Fay. She was tall and chiseled but not by a blunt stonemason’s tool, rather by something sharper, a razor perhaps, to produce her wildcat-like frame. Her dark hair and skin gleamed in the low light of this room as if they were slicked in oil and set ablaze. And like many spidering cracks in a fine dish, were angular-looking runes, etched into her skin that came together to cradle a dull-glowing, rising sun drawn in the center of her chest. Revealing this sun was a deeply cleaved red blouse that tucked into her pants. It billowed about her like the sail of a ship did about its mast. Despite the almost ordinary clothing she wore, there could hardly be one who might dare view her as plain, for her opulence shone through in other ways. Just in the hollows of her collarbones sat a fat, rough-cut sapphire dangling from a length of twisted tack line. Her magic blackened fingers were adorned with many rings and jewels in all colors, dangerously finished with her long, talon-like nails that presently gnawed at the wooden table beneath them. Golden hoops and bangles decorated her ears and wrists, and dotting her hair like many stars were human teeth. But those mock stars were hardly terrifying compared to her golden eyes. They shivered with a barely contained rage as she glowered across the table at the woman to my right...

As evidence that I do indeed still write and am alive, have some lines from AASOAF 3! These are from a battle sequence I'm currently working on hence the CWs :)

cw: gore, violence

From AASOAF 3:

From the depths came those tentacled beasts, eagerly taking pieces of me. A hand. A foot. My hair. I split, but no matter. There was no ‘me’. No ‘them’.  It was us. It was we.  A furious creature of teeth and tentacles, screaming through the sea as those beams of light did through the sky. Our voices collided every which way as we darted toward their cursed keels, incanting that feverish desire.  FEAST! FEAST! FEAST!  We passed beneath the Virgin and Orpheus, their warm chase gun shot ringing just some feet above. The surface rushed toward us until it parted with an angry sound and we collided against the navy’s flagship.  Her bow groaned and split. Men and things went flying. She was small. Oh so small! Little more than a plaything in our tentacled grasp! Our maw easily large enough to encourage her down our throat.  So we bit down.  The wood blew apart, splintering in joyous accompaniment with the waves and rain. Men screamed. Their flesh and blood swirling with the taste of undetonated powder, cast iron, and rancid bilge water. We gripped her broadsides, suckers and talons anchoring down, and pulled. Her masts doubled over. Her lines strained and snapped. Her sails screamed in agony, shredding like over-taut flesh. Unfortunates fell into the sea, some we dutifully gathered and swallowed. Others we beat down so the waves might feast with us too.  The man o’ war was no more.

OC Ships and Songs Tag

I was tagged by @mysticstarlightduck, here, and @pheita, here. Thank you both so much! 💙

Rules: write two to five songs from them that represent your ship between your ocs (it can be platonic or romantic or a secret third thing). then add a quote from said WIP (if possible!) underneath it.

Tagging (gently): @sam-glade @outpost51 @void-botanist @sparatus @sarahlizziewrites and anyone else who'd like to do this!

Mariel and Axtapor: Valentine - Laufey

This WHOLE SONG is so them I can't 😭 but these parts especially!

What if he's the last one I kiss? What if he's the only one I'll ever miss? Maybe I should run, I'm only twenty-one I don't even know who I want to become I've lost all control of my heartbeat now Got caught in a romance with him somehow I still feel a shock through every bone When I hear an, "I love you" 'Cause now I've got someone to lose

Quote

And then, the realization hit me; he would probably be more affectionate now than ever before. Such a thing could not be possible, could it? I could hardly imagine how he would be— Oh, it was too much to entertain! I smiled at him, then covered my face bashfully, giggling at the prospect. He laughed along with me but, curiously, didn’t tease me about it.

Fay and Wilkes: If We Were Made Of Water - BANKS

Perfectly encapsulates their forever will they/won't they. My angry little disasters 💙

Baby say it again Maybe if you say it again Maybe if you say it again Maybe I'll believe it then Baby say it again Baby if you say it again Change some words around maybe I'll believe you then And I'm hurting from the way that this worked out If you could rearrange your words you could've saved it If we were made of water, we could swim around it Can't no more

Quote

She nodded after some moments and cupped my face in her hands. We savored one another on the decks of her ship as we’d done many times before, but not under the stars or those vast skies as before. Beneath the surface. Occulted. And this time with the limits of how high we could reach laid plainly before us. The soured reality of our demise tainted the water around us like some festering thing. There was no joy. No love. Nothing beautifully stirred. It was still and cold.

Hartim and Lexlar: Pain and Misery - The Teskey Brothers

You guys are just getting to know these two but they and their story have lived in my heart for so long, I can't wait for you all to know it too 💚

Honey, please, whoa please Won't you stay with me? 'Cause since you gone It's pain and misery Hey I'm begging you, honey Whoa I want you to love me Yeah, I want you to love me I need you so bad

Quote

Something about the way he had spoken the word made Eiph’ck feel strange. He turned his head, easily finding Quye’ck’s outline. He was looking back at him, but in the darkness, could not make out his expression. “Goodnight, Eiph’ck.”  Those words, they were warm. And loud. Like a fire… They made his throat hot. They made him grateful for the darkness.  “Goodnight, Quye’ck.”

“You really do love her, then?” “She been my heart.” I said with a shrug. “There be nary a thin’ I would no do for her.” Another nod. “Is it strange?” “What?” “Being with a human.” I shook my head. “They been different, but I nay mind it.” “The scruff on their heads and bodies doesn’t…bother you?” “Nay. Been soft as mink.” “They remind me of those dumplings that go into Kava’s Day soup.” She said with a strange little frown and a wiggle of her fingers, “Soft and…watery.” I laughed. “Take one to bed and find out if’n that be true.” “X’fidi! ” She hit me on the arm. I laughed. “I have no interest in taking any lovers right now, thank you!” “Oh? Nary one been eye catchin’ to ye?” “No…” I might be stupid, but I knew when ‘no’ meant ‘yes’. “Aye then.” I replied with a barely concealed smile. She cleared her throat. “Is she nice?” “Aye. Very. Sweetest creature I ever did meet.” “Well.” She brushed her robes. “I can’t say I understand it, but if you love her, then…there’s nothing more to say. Promise me you’ll tell grandmama and the others soon. Even if they don’t forgive you, they might at least understand your reasoning.” I sighed. “Nay be sure ‘bout that. Grandmother ‘lieves Mariel been a poison and a danger.” “She’s hurt. Of course she’d believe that about her, but…she misses you dearly. And I don’t think she’s capable of ignoring you forever. She worries too much.” “‘Haps.” “Give her another chance. I’m sure she’ll come around.”

From AASOAF 3:

He chuckled. “Yes, but they are also greeting you. See how their eyes move from me to you?” Indeed, they did. And instead of wasting time asking him what I should do, I followed his lead, dipping my head just the slightest bit as we passed. They didn’t disapprove of the gesture but seemed no more affected by it than when I’d unintentionally ignored them. That is, until we passed a young-looking deckhand. He was paired with a much older one—tutor and pupil, as it were. They nodded at us both, the older one even troubling himself to remove his cowl, and soon after they’d received our acknowledgement, the younger one passed some excited whisper from his lips and hit the deck with a loud thud.  I yelped. “Is he alright?!” “Aye, milady.” The older one said, as he nudged the boy with his foot. “Lad been a swooner.”

Fay: “You’re the greatest weapon there is. A shield.”

Mariel: “You promised to make a pirate out of me. Now seems like the right time to start, doesn’t it?”

Axtapor: “She nay be ‘that woman’, her name been Mariel. Ye call her as so.”

Wilkes: “And I have no right to ask, so I won’t. But I swear to you I will live and die and live again for your Eternity. I will feast until the day you say no more. I will not rest until you rest. I will not yield until you say enough.”

Magdalene: “Thou fans flames. Inextinguishable.”

Sartor: “Oné must never forgette oné’s nature. How regrettable you havé…milord.”

From AASOAF 3: in which Mariel and Lexlar first meet!

“Miss Frère. If it pleases you.” “Nay does no.” He shook his head and spread his arms wide. “Ye see, this be a Lizardfolk tub, ain’t it, lads?!” A cheer ripped its way from the throats of men around us as they beat their fists and tankards on tables and their feet and tails against the deck.  “And ‘haps we be pirates, aye. But we been civilfolk.” His posture straightened almost comically as he brushed one shoulder then the other and adjusted an imaginary coat. A few laughs followed. “And civilfolk deal with names proper first they meet!” He declared, flaring his dewlap proudly. The gesture elicited hisses and strange guttural sounds of confirmation from the men. “So, tell it well, tell it true. What been yer name, lass?”
