Somewhere deep in their psyche, Jordan is glad they can't get sentimental.
They walk past Vardah's bedside table and, for the tenth time, fail to pick up the loose books there.
It should be easy.
Pick it up. Put it in the cardboard box.
But they're stalling. Their hand hesitates, fingers trembling in a physical response that doesn't match their emotions.
Jordan gives ...

"Don't squirm," Silas chides, breath warm on the back of your neck.
"Then stop tickling," you retort, but you do your best to relax your muscles and still your body.
Silas' hands smooth over your shoulder blades, thumbs kneading in at each juncture before following the bones up and toward your neck.
You don't even consider how vulnerable this pose is - prone on his bed, your neck in his o...

Annika's one-sided beef with Vardah is so fun.

The baby is awake.
You know she is awake before the baby monitor even picks up her movement. There's a sense you get - a stirring in the air, a prickle along the back of your neck.
You leave your room, crossing the small hallway into Kimberly's. Your sister is at a doctor's appointment. With the woman's anxious energy and mumbling gone, you don't feel like a side character in your own home for ...

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
Annika focuses on your needs before anything else. If you need space, she curls on her side -close, but not touching- and waits for you to come down. If you need touch, she is there - caresses, kisses, nuzzles. She will do as much as you allow.

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
Annika lives and breathes affection. It is difficult for her not to offer comfort in gentle touches. Gently holding a hand, cupping a shoulder, tilting her head against someone else's. It's never meant as anything more than platonic and healing when she does this.

Happy end of November!
It's been a rough month for me personally. I've been sick as hell for the vast majority of it, but the end is in sight... Hopefully.
As for Deerbourne, it's been a wild 2 months. It's crazy to me that this project is still in its infancy, given how much time it spends kicking around in my brain.
What have we done this month?<...

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
Hunter needs a little bit of space immediately after. He'll flop on his back, catch his breath, and curl up next to his partner. He likes eye contact and gentle touches for a bit before suggesting a shared shower.

You are restless for hours, fitfully slipping in and out of sleep. You feel drunk and anxious, your limbs tingling with the need to do something, but your body is so very heavy.
At three, you give up and slide out of bed. Your shuffling steps take you across the threshold of your bedroom and into the cabin's small hallway.

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
Hunter is very affectionate once he's comfortable with someone - either with a friend or romantic partner. Casual touches are typical for him.

His gaze is blank as he stares at her.
Florence feels the all-too-familiar hate curling in her belly, the rancid twist that occurred the second he turned Silas against her.
"He'll never forgive you," Qian says. He doesn't sound like he's begging - simply stating a fact.
Florence glances behind Qian, sensing о⃥н̸ с̸а⃥м̸ more than seeing Him. He's out there somewhere, waiting in...

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
Little kisses or long, lingering, languid make-out sessions (depending on the mood). Rubbing or massaging you. So many cuddles.
They love their abs, hip bones, and back muscles.
On others... They are ...

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)Jordan is not exceptionally affectionate in public, but they enjoy touching their partner in private. Casually touching them, wrapping an arm around them, kissing their cheek or forehead, etc.
They really decided to pull this in chapter three. smh 😮💨
In all honestly, I knew they'd go for the gold faster than anyone else, but the second they get you alone? Damn. 😂

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
Silas is a snuggler. He wants to immediately curl up with you and pepper your shoulders and neck with kisses. If you’d prefer to clean up first, he will either do it for you (warm washcloth, get you a glass of cool water, THEN snuggle) or join you in a shower. He’ll want to be close and kissy in the shower, too, so… just...

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
Extremely affectionate, but quietly so if you’re in public. He’ll caress your hand or lower back, lean close to whisper things to you, nuzzle against your neck – all quick moments but full of love. In private, he will touch and kiss you a lot. Forehead, cheek, mouth, wrist – any exposed skin is...

Kimberly sits in the corner of the room and stares at the bassinet. Stares at the white frills and the yellow bow on the side. Stares at the eyelet pattern and how it reminds her of being a child and dressing up for summer picnics with her mom and sibling in a white floaty smock and a matching sunhat.
Something unfamiliar rises in her throat. A hand unconsciously goes to her belly even though it's su...

Happy Halloween! Deerbourne has been out for a whole month! I can’t believe it’s been that long.
I also can’t believe people have read and enjoyed it enough to follow the Tumblr blog. I am unbelievably happy every time I see your likes, reblogs, and comments.🧡
Now, as for the next update! I’m hoping to get Chapter 3 + Interlude III released by the end of ...
I feel like the second response is the only proper one when Deerly starts spouting ancestral lore after you get attacked. Maybe that's just me tho 🙃
