Birthright: Prompt 6 [Kimberly]

You stayed out later than usual - the sun is setting behind the trees, ambery gold light shining into your eyes.

You shield them, grumbling, and stagger a bit on the path. Glancing down, you realize one of your laces has come loose and skitters across the road.

You would tie it, but you notice the blood and freeze.

You swallow down a sudden swell of bile, coughing to dislodge th...

Yay, new password! Sorry for the delay - I'm out of sorts over this shadownban on Tumblr. I'd been wondering why I seemed to drop off out of nowhere, lol

Anyway! Password time!

cw: animal injury, body horror

Jordan runs a hand along Polly's flank, checking for injury. The dog has been acting strange all morning - curled in on herself, licking at her back leg, avoiding her breakfast.

Polly gives a short warning growl when Jordan's hand prods at her haunch. Jordan clicks their tongue at her; she immediately goes quiet.

Then they find the ...

[Hunter] NSFW moments outside of time

You aren't sure what wakes you. The room is still dark, the air cool against your face. The blankets, though, are warm - as is the body slotted behind you.

You close your eyes again, breathing in Hunter's familiar scent - heady baked goods and lavender body wash. It's a sweet, comfortable thing, this delicious warmth. Being with him, wrapped up and safe.

Hunter mumbles something softly a...

Hello again!

✧May's update was posted on the 20th and includes the ending of all workdays, plus the after-work conversation with Nadia (unless your Gardener or Librarian route's choices led to you speaking to her earlier). I didn't manage to finish up the dinner scene, but that should be posted within the next week. Had to deal with some unplanned doc appointme...

[Jordan] NSFW moments outside of time

You're dozing by the time Jordan returns to the bedroom. The soft click of the door closing rouses you; your mumbled "Is she still asleep?" is barely audible.

"Sleeping like an angel, just like I said she would be," they reply.

You hum your approval, eyes sliding closed. You can hear Jordan slipping out of their robe and padding to your bed. You expect them to crawl beside you, snuggle c...

Lore [11/???]

There's a shadow on the wall, and it looks like Crownie.

Bug catches her breath and curls into her blanket - but she doesn't look away. She stares, unblinking, barely breathing.

Hello, the shadow says.

Bug tightens her body's slouch, the blanket swallowing her to her eyes. She doesn't reply.

The shadow swishes with the gusting wind outside, extending, coming clos...

Vardah's eyes narrow as she watches the new Initiate clear the farthest dining table. Curious, Her head tilts as she asks, "That one over there. Who is she?"

Hunter blinks, startled from his drawing. "Why?"

"Just curious," Vardah says, following the girl's movement.

"Kimberly, I think," Annika replies, voice a low melody weaving between the three. "She came in three nights ago while Flore...

Folks who were here last month - the paused billing will start again on the 30th! Please cancel before then if you want to!!

My wrist is finally starting to feel better, but it's making this clicking noise that keeps scaring our cat, lol. Oh, to be getting older...

The month was slow - I took advantage of the paused billing to work on my mental. I stil...

Lore [9/???]

Silas is doing his best to stay awake through the lecturer's droning when his phone vibrates against his chest.

He is glad he remembered to turn off the ringer, but even the vibration seems loud.

He quickly grabs his phone and stops the vibrations without answering the... video call?

And it's from Xavier?

The small window shows Xavier's screen, shows an expanse of grey sky and rolli...

"Don't. Move," Nadia orders.

But it's hard not to wriggle a little when her breath is like a coal on your neck. Like a controlled burn in the forest. Like -

"Stop. Breathing. So. Loud," Nadia hisses.

You purse your lips, close your eyes, and do your best not to think about how close your bodies are. How tight the space. How the temperature is skyrocketing, how you can feel a b...

A Dream (not Deerbourne)

The video call connects without request, without notification. One moment, the screen is black and silent, and the next, it's filled with the familiar sight of your bedroom.

"Eva?" I ask, blinking back dreams and sitting up in my bed, bewildered with half sleep.

But you aren't there. Only your room - dark except for the phosphorescent green glow of your nightlight. Silent and still.

I arch toward my desk, toward the computer, but stop when a shadow shifts into view, stepping...

[Vardah]NSFW moments outside of time

When you push through the heavy doors and enter the library that night, the first thing to greet you is... darkness.

You pause in the entryway, squinting into the gloom. The library lights are never off.

You hold your breath for a moment, listening -

-and then you hear it. The softest shifting of cloth, the swish of a skirt.

You twist around, grabbing Vardah's wrist before she can g...

A member of my family died this month, and while I wasn't close with him (far from it), it's left me... contemplative. Not so much about him or my relationship with him but about how suddenly and violently death can happen. How young a person can be. How little warning a family has ahead of time.

The section of Chapter 3 that I'm writing heavily t...

Trigger Warning - self-harm (in the abstract)

Hunter's mind is a divided thing.

There is the person he is in the kitchen - sure-handed and focused, working with trance-like efficiency.

There is the person he is outside of the kitchen - nervous, fidgety, plucking at the skin around his nails.

It's hard for an outsider to see these two sides of him and unde...

What's in a Name, pt 2

A couple of days ago, we asked you all a question -

do you prefer having your MC referred to as "MC" or do you like it when they have a universal nickname the author/community can use?

With an overwhelming majority, you responded that a universal nickname is better.

The problem: What to call them. Obviously we can't use a last name (such as Roe from Superstition) or a job title (like Mercenary from The Golden Rose)...

Birthright: Prompt 5 [Silas]

Spring takes a while to warm up in the woods around the Washington-Oregon border. You've known this your entire life, but it still doesn't keep you from being shocked again each year.

"Fuck," you mutter, stomping your feet and shoving your hands deeper into your coat pockets. You weave from side to side, watching the administration building's door impatiently.

Any minute. Silas will fina...

Birthright: Prompt 4 [Nadia]

You close your eyes against the flare of sun that peeks through the fast-rolling clouds, groaning. You cover your face with your arm, letting out a slight huff.

Trust the weather to be wrong on every front. Sunny morning leading into a cloudy, clear day? More like an overcast morning into a coming storm.

You're the only one dumb enough to have come out to the picnic because everyone else was sm...

Annika hours 🎶

Folks who have been around a while might remember Annika's first 'moments outside of time' where she said she used to sing.

Her voice (prior to losing it) is based off of Chloë Black, seen here showing off her varied styles live 😍

moments outside of time [7/???]

It's another cool Saturday morning; the wind is low, but the chill still seeps around the corners. Autumn has fallen again, and the herd of cattle in the main field is closing ranks, sharing heat.

"I won't be surprised if some of them stop coming out of the barn soon," you say, pausing at a section of the fence that Marta recently replaced.

Annika nods her agreement, signing, "I don't see s...
