“A toothbrush?” Hen repeats, eyebrows high and tone extremely dubious.

“A toothbrush,” Eddie confirms.

“Your girlfriend broke up with you because of a toothbrush?” Ravi clarifies, he’s not the only one seeking that clarification either, Eddie can tell he beat Chim to the question only because he didn’t have his mouth full.

“Yes,” Eddie confirms (again), sounding a little more disgruntled this time about it.

Chim finally swallows his mouthful to ask, “Is this like a metaphor?”

Eddie shrugs. “I don’t know.” And he doesn’t, that’s the thing. He’s got no damn idea why a toothbrush (of all things) had Marisol breaking things off before they’d even really gotten started.

“I’m going to need more than this,” Hen says. “What kind of toothbrush?”

Exasperated, all Eddie can say is, “I don’t know - a toothbrush.”

“I mean,” Chim says thoughtfully, “did she not like the colour? Were the bristles too hard? Maybe it wasn’t about the toothbrush but the toothpaste on the brush - do you have weird toothpaste taste?”

That earns Chim a confused look from everyone but he just shrugs which Eddie finds fair because he honestly doesn’t know. “I don’t have weird toothpaste,” Eddie defends.

“I like your toothpaste,” Buck announces, dropping down into the chair beside Eddie. “Why are we talking about Eddie’s toothpaste?”

“We’re talking about Eddie’s toothbrush,” Hen clarifies and even as she does, she looks like she can’t believe that’s a sentence she’s found herself saying.

“Eddie’s toothbrush?” Buck repeats, sounding just as confused as when he thought they were talking about toothpaste.

“Not my toothbrush,” Eddie groans. “It wasn’t even mine!”

“Wait,” and this comes from Bobby who looks as though he can’t believe he’s joining in this conversation, “Marisol broke up with you because of Christopher’s toothbrush?”

“Marisol broke up with you?” Buck says, “Sorry man.”

Eddie waves off Buck’s words, he’s not all that broken up about it honestly, just genuinely stuck on how a toothbrush could possibly be reason enough to break up with someone. “No it wasn’t Chris’ toothbrush, Jesus.”

“I’m so confused,” Buck said.

“Me too,” added Ravi.

But Hen, Hen had a look on her face and there was a note in her voice he couldn’t identify as she asked, “Whose toothbrush was it?”

“Buck’s.”

And Eddie has no idea why that is suddenly explanation enough for everyone.

Well except Buck.

Are you looking for a new writing challenge this May? Then why not try the "May Mixtape Challenge"?

This challenge is easy to participate in - all you need is a music playlist and a willingness to let the music guide your writing. Start by shuffling your playlist and selecting the first song that comes up. Listen to the lyrics, the melody, and the overall mood of the song. Let your mind wander and imagine a story that fits with the music.

The beauty of this challenge is that there are no right or wrong answers. You can interpret the song in any way you like and create a story that speaks to you. Maybe the song is about lost love, and it inspires you to write a heart-wrenching love story. Or perhaps the song is upbeat and energetic, and it inspires you to write a story about a character overcoming a difficult challenge. The possibilities are endless.

You can participate in the challenge as often as you like - try it once a week or every day for the entire month of May. It's up to you how much you want to challenge yourself. For an extra challenge, find a random playlist online instead of using your own - this way you can perhaps even discover some new music you've never heard before.

The "May Mixtape Challenge" is a fun and creative writing challenge that is perfect for anyone looking to reignite their passion for storytelling. With no rules or limitations, you can let your imagination run wild and see where the music takes you. So put on your favorite playlist and start writing – you never know what kind of story you might create. Be sure to use the #MayMixtapeChallenge when posting your stories so others can easily find them.

Happy writing!

May Writing Challenge Day 3

One thing I really like doing in my writing is to write based on movies or tv shows, often just dropping characters in and molding the world of the show/movie to fit around them. This is based on season 3 episode 1 of Jessica Jones and mixes in James Potter and Severus Snape from Harry Potter. James is in the role of Jessica while Severus is a vague approximation of Trish. There shouldn't be any spoilers for Jessica Jones because I think I changed enough, but there definitely aren't any for season 3. And finally fuck JKR and all of her transphobic rhetoric/friends. Transwomen are women, transmen are men, and we all deserve basic human rights.

James shoved into the dingy hotel room, scowling at Severus as he shoved everything James had unpacked back into his black duffel bag.

"So Riddle’s experiments worked then?" James noticed the small twitch Severus gave in response to the name, but ignored it, "When were you planning on telling me that?"

"Well, it’s a little hard to tell you things when you’re ignoring my calls," Severus was now gathering all the trash he had left around the room, shoving it into a separate plastic bag, "and it didn’t seem like the kind of thing you say over voicemail."

"Alright so what the fuck do you think you were doing in that guys apartment?"

"I’m helping out a friend," Severus was now looking under the bed, searching for god knows what under there.

James scoffed, "You cat burgle for friends now."

"It‘a none of your business James. What happened to never speaking to me again?"

"That guy had a gun!" James couldn’t help but to raise his voice, hoping to make the other man understand, "You could have gotten yourself killed."

"I knew that!" Severus shouted back, "I’ve been tailing him for weeks, I needed something that he kept in the safe, it’s why I set the alarm off, so he would open it and grab his gun. I didn’t need you to save me." Severus abruptly stopped, standing and rubbing a knuckle at his eye, "It doesn’t matter, he’s gone now. Is there anything else you need or am I free to go? I’m late for work."

James ground his teeth to stop any disparaging remarks from coming to the surface, reaching into his jacket pocket to pull out a brown leather journal, "What does this mean?"

Severus froze momentarily before relaxing, happening fast enough that if James wasn’t intimately familiar with his body language he would have missed it, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

James scoffed, opening it up to the page he wanted immediately, "Sometimes I think about telling you the truth, but then I realize that it wouldn’t matter. We haven’t had that connection for a long time. You believed Malfoy without fight and sometimes I hate you for that." James snapped the journal closed, "That’s what I’m talking about."

Severus was glaring now, an ugly look that made it hard to believe that he was ever popular on tv, his body as tense as a coiled spring.

"That’s private."

"It has my name on it," James snapped back without missing a beat, "What the fuck does it mean, what else have you been hiding from me?"

The silence stretched between them for a long moment, long enough that James thought Severus would try and go through him to get to the door, but eventually he relented.

"Malfoy lied," Severus clenched his jaw before defiantly facing James, crossing his arms over his chest, "I didn’t volunteer for those experiments, you dick. He was working with Riddle and someone else who drugged me and took me to the lab where Riddle kept me sedated until it was time to start the procedure."

James felt cold, "Who?"

"It doesn’t matter," Severus started to gather his couple of packed bags.

"Who, Sev?"

Severus was bent over his things for a moment before he straightened up and James already knew he wouldn’t like the answer, "It was Harry. There was nothing for you in Mexico, James. He was going to kill you, steal your identity, and marry his boyfriend."

"You’re a fucking liar."

"I told you," Severus said simply, moving towards the door, and James had to stop himself from stopping him as he passed, plucking the journal from James’ loosened grasp. "Goodbye James."

James was tense as he listened to Severus leave behind him, his mind racing as he tried to process what Severus had said. He moved away from the door for the first time and sat heavily on the bed, leaning forward to brace his elbows on his knees and bury his face in his hands as he thought. 

God, everything was getting more and more fucked.

May Writing Challenge

So I saw this writing challenge on Tumblr for the month of May. I wanted to keep up my writing schedule. I wrote a total of 26,479 words. Which is a whole 47 words more than I wrote in Camp NaNoWriMo. I'm pretty proud of myself and deserve a little pat on the back for my accomplishment.

The whole reason I did this challenge is because I usually expect way too much of myself. I used to think 1k words a day was a good goal but it's way too high for me. Usually, when I didn't meet my goal I would become disappointed in myself for not making it. So smaller goals mean more achievable goals. I think I'll try to continue this writing challenge in my daily schedule. Some words are better than none.

May Mixtape 2023 || May, 1st, 2023

Mixtape: Past Lives - BØRNS (nvmbr remix) Fandom: Life Is Strange [Spoilers] Characters: Max Caulfield/Chloe Price She feels the time and space but she sees the path to follow. The path of saving Chloe again and again. Well, it isn't easy but who is Max to deny her feeling to her girlfriend from the childhood. Max and Chloe - Best Friends Forever, in whatever reality, whatever it takes. When Max sees Chloe alive, she feels so content she's managed to get her out of another danger Chloe doesn't seem to realize. Past lives, the ones Max left behind, couldn't ever hold her down from giving Chloe the chance to live on, to see the sun, to breathe the air of Arcadia Bay, to blast her music and give Max cute nicknames.

Max certainly feels glad when she sees the same Chloe again and again, Chloe that didn't experience every horror Max did. That Chloe that rants on Max leaving her for Seattle for five years, that Chloe that was still a kid, playing pirate games and stuff. Chloe Price... Lost love of Max that's sweeter when she's finally found. Chloe's also got the strangest feeling when she sees Max all pale and apologetic as if she played with time in secret and messed something up. She is a bit creeped out but she lets it slip as long as Max lets Chloe take part in toying with the time itself.

This isn't their first time around so Chloe knows Max well, even if five years passed with the two of them apart. The two of them are inseparable so Chloe feels guilty for seeing Max suffer for unknown reasons. She tries to cover her guilt with insults but regrets it instantly because she sees poor Max get 'cereal'.

Max leaves so much behind it takes its toll on her. She is burdened by hesitations and choices so she is desperate to live on with that power. 'Past lives couldn't ever come between us' she swears, watching Chloe die and rewinds again so that they could make amends and carry on. She is entangled with the risks as much as she is entangles with Chloe Price.

Sometimes the dreamers finally wake up... Chloe learns it the hard way, through Rachel and, now, through Max. She toys with guns, smokes weed and blasts her music only to get away from reality, to reach Max who is by her side but so distant... Only to keep dreaming about their happiness.

And, at some point, they start dreaming together. Dreaming about future, possible outcomes, even about conquering the world... 'Don't wake me, I'm not dreaming' - that's what Max writes in her journal after getting along with Chloe. It's the same thing Chloe tells her in the morning, right before they move out to investigate Rachel's disappearance.

They don't even know there is no Rachel anymore. It's just the two of them and their past lives, left behind to never get remembered.

May Writing Challenge

Last month, I had a couple of people curious about the writing challenge I was doing! I thought about listing out how many words I want to write per day, but I didn’t think that would be good for other writers!

Instead, I think it’s more useful for writers to declare the word count and goals they're aiming for, like so:

Monthly Goal: 25000 words

Daily Goal: 807 words

Sprints: 3x20 3 times per week.

Fic (Neon Glow) goal: planning relationship development (Ari/Edward).

Whilst other people’s challenges are fun, I never end up making it very far because it’s not personalized to my needs. Setting your own goals is far more fun and engaging!

At the end of the week I post the break-down of my word count, I decide the days I rest, the days I do writing sprints, and any additional bonus goals that I want to set for myself.

Still, I am wholly interested in setting goals with other writers (having a check-in buddy).

But yeah, that’s how I structure my challenges for myself! It’s really fun and I really do encourage it!

In a blink there’s a mace in his hands and Merlin is stood before him, young confused and flinching away.

Arthur freezes, frowns, and then lowers the mace while giving Merlin a confused look. “Merlin,” he says slowly, a warning in his tone that an explanation better be imminent.

But the Merlin standing before him frowns, not least of all at the familiarity in Arthur’s tone but over the fact that Arthur is no longer trying to squash him like a bug with the mace he’s wielding. Arthur looks around. He takes a good long look around him and sighs.

This might be his own fault, but either way…

He grabs Merlin by the arm, ignores the way he starts to immediately squirm to get free and, ignoring everyone in the town around them, marches Merlin to the only place he knows is safe right now - Gaius’ chambers. Merlin complains the whole way but he does so in the same blithe manner he’d done before he knew Arthur and really had things to complain about (Arthur can be self-aware when the occasion calls for it).

Gaius rises when Arthur marches Merlin inside and offers a hesitant, “Sire?”

Arthur makes sure to shut the door before he finally lets go of Merlin. “I’m willing to accept this may partially have been my fault,” Arthur says, which is a very big concession and he’s annoyed that this is happening where - when? - no one is around to acknowledge it. “But Merlin, please tell me you can reverse this?”

“Reverse what?” He asks.

Arthur pinches the bridge of his nose and takes a moment to breathe. “This morning,” he says slowly, like he’s talking to an idiot (he is - at least right now), “I made the mistake of remarking that I wondered what my life would be like if I’d known about your magic from the beginning.”

Merlin makes a choked sound but Arthur isn’t done.

“And now I find myself at the beginning of our relationship. Care to explain?”

Merlin, Arthur could tell, did not.

My entry for prompt #18, Intertwined, is here: https://archiveofourown.org/chapters/97744818?show_comments=true&view_full_work=false#comment_540502266

Summary: Elena enjoys a morning with her lovers.

Pairing: Elijah/Elena/Klaus

Teaser:

Elena awakens gradually. The room is dimly lit, all the curtains drawn. Her head is resting on a strong shoulder, bare skin warm beneath her cheek. She shifts on her side, throwing her leg over his to pull him closer, and then closes her eyes to go back to sleep.

“Good morning,” Elijah rumbles, his tone amused. His hand reaches up to gently card through her hair, messy from sleep. Elena just grumbles back; she’s not yet ready to wake up. Elijah says nothing more, and his light touches are soothing, so Elena cuddles closer and allows herself to drift a bit.

A hard chest presses against her back. Elena pays him no mind until arms encircle her, pulling her closer to that chest, dislodging Elena from her comfortable cuddle with Elijah in the process. “That’s no way to greet my brother, love,” Klaus whispers in her ear. “Why don’t you give him a proper good morning?” Elena sighs, blinking the sleep from her eyes; she knows Klaus won’t let her go back to sleep until he gets what he wants.

Not My Job

“Give your hero new responsibilities, including a chance to prove themselves”

Tony stood in the center of a holographic sphere filled with different news reports, skimming the headlines for anything that would help him understand how anyone could get the upper-hand on the Sorcerer Supreme.

“Where are you, Doc?” Tony asked, his eyes drifting from one news report to the next. There were multiple angles of the fight with Baron Mordo but there was nothing out of the ordinary. Perhaps it was something he couldn’t see in the tangible world, maybe whatever sent the Doc away had to do with the occult. Something an engineer could never hope to comprehend.

Tony outstretched his arms and curled them back into himself, closing the sphere before plopping down into the seat next to him.

“Nothing, huh?” Tony glanced over at the entrance where Pepper stood wearing a look of concern.

“It’s like he just vanished. I have no clue how to bring him back.” Tony admitted. “Where do you start with something like this? I grew up in a world of science where everything follows a mathematical pattern. Ever since people like the Doc showed up the world makes no sense.”

Pepper crossed the room and knelt in front of Tony, placing overlapping hands on his knee. “It’s been a long day and you’ve been searching since you got back from the fight.” To emphasize this, Pepper reached a careful hand and grazed her fingers over a dried cut on Tony’s temple. “Maybe you should take a break, get cleaned up and try again with a clear head.”

The corner of Tony’s mouth pulled up into a half smile as he grabbed Pepper’s hand. “You’re right.” He placed a kiss on Peppers knuckles as he stood up. The pair exited the room and headed upstairs, as they passed the large window overlooking the Pacific Ocean they heard a knock on the glass. The Knocking was insistent and sporadic.

Instinctively, Tony shoved Pepper behind him. Then, lightening flashed revealing a familiar silhouette; a large sheet of darkness billowed in the wind. Tony gently pushed away from Pepper in a gesture that told her to remain where she was.

“Doc?” Tony chanced but no answer came. The knocking continued as Tony approached the window. He opened it slightly and in an instant he was drowning in damp red fabric. Tony flailed around as he tried to regain control of his body. He managed to claw the red fabric of the Cloak of Levitation away from his face and catch his breath.

Pepper joined Tony as the Cloak finally released him. Tony stood up, irritation clearly writing on his face. “Man, I knew the Doc didn’t like me but to have his Cloak try to smother me…” Pepper elbowed Tony, she could tell that he was somewhat relieved by their new visiter.

“Well, where is he?” Tony asked, glancing around outside as the lightening flashed once more.

“I think the Cloak is trying to tell us something.” Pepper pointed out as she nodded toward the Cloak as it danced around for attention.

“great, unfortunately, I don’t speak magical curtain.” Tony said.

At that the Cloak billowed and tucked one of its corners into itself before removing the Eye of Agamotto from its folds.

“I’m going to guess that it’s a bad thing that the Doc doesn’t have that anymore.” Tony said.

The Cloak whipped around and lunged toward Tony with a speed the billionaire was ill prepared for. When the Cloak pulled away Tony was wearing the Eye of Agamotto around his neck.

“Oh No, No way. Not my job!” Tony exclaimed.

The darkness has taken me whole (progress report, 18th May)

Song of the day: this heart, a coffin by Clouds (DOOOOOM!)

Draft words: 2242 words yesterday, 22991/31000 for the month.

Journal, planning etc. words: 1417 words yesterday, 21117/20677 for the month.

Favourite line(s) from yesterday's writing:

From Before The Summer Dies again because I'm somehow still only working on the one thing at the moment. Alesia doesn't know how to deal with anything, least of all being transported (copied?) to an alternate universe.

Would I have reached out to her or walled myself off? I supposed I'd probably never know. Either some other me was neck-deep in all that, or by the time I finally made it home I'd know what to say to her.

Or, she'd just never see me again. I supposed that was a possibility. Maybe this was just... where I was now. Maybe all I had left was to wander this world until I found somewhere I could use my fighting skills, and then keep going until the darkness caught me.

Any other comments:

So anyway, I've written over 170k of words in drafts so far this year. I think I'm supposed to celebrate things like that, but at the moment my brain is just like "no we don't celebrate things we just write stuff and get migraines", so... yeah. I guess I'll go write some stuff while this migraine percolates, and then I'll sleep when it gets stabby.
