A quick one today. Just a reminder that next month I’ll be focusing heavily on larger updates for both Avulsion and FMO, so instead of regular snippets you’ll get early access to Laurent’s branch (current chapter), and then hopefully a new one for FMO, and so on. Feel free to still suggest prompts if you’d like, I’ll make sure to fulfil them some other time.

That's all for now! Take care <3

SMILE + Angst prompts #3 - Flavio x2, Alan

“Oh my god. You’re smiling!” “No, I’m not. Fuck off.” - Flavio

“Maybe he’s lost,” Flavio mumbles as he tries to balance his pen between his nose and upper lip, while simultaneously balancing himself on the back legs of the office chair. “For real this time.”

“Maybe he just doesn’t want to see your face longer than he has to. I know I’d pass if I could,” you scoff, but the venom in your voice has long since stopped being biting. Now, your...

A super quick one today. Progress is as follows:

With another ~7k words, Laurent’s branch (chapter 3) is finished! Reed and Jewel are next, then a merge.

Next update will be another FMO partial and/or a missing scene, not sure yet which (hopefully both).

But that’s all I have for now! Take care <3

I’ll be busy next week, so I am uploading chapter 3 of FMO on early access today. I’d set it to upload on a given day in advance, but I tried using that feature once and I fcked it up haha, so. The guide has been updated too.

Half of Laurent’s branch (Avulsion) is up as well. I’ll have the other half done hopefully within two weeks, and then I’ll move on to Reed’s and Jewel’s branches. Super excited to finally dig into it fully!

I’ll postpone the snippets for a bi...

Finding out my stuff got pirated or that the extras got leaked always puts me in such an awful mood, bleh, I am on my period so my first thought was a very dramatic ‘time to give up,’ lol. I guess it’s just disheartening to know that people I thought supported me didn’t really have that in mind. 

Well, all the more, I am grateful for your support and constant encouragement. I think the grim reality would have made me quit for good ages ago. So, thank you for ...

SMILE + Angst prompts #2 - Lotar, Mirren, Rez

# “Try hard not to stare at the stunning (first) smile they see blossoming on the other’s lips.” -  Lotár 

Lotár doesn’t have to try hard to match your pace, not with his/her unnatural speed. But he/she must find the image of him/her trailing just half a step behind you hilarious, so he/she doesn’t bother to overtake you. Yet.

Instead, he/she delights himself/herself with raising his/her voice, just enough so that an otherwise private convers...

A quickie!

Another FMO update just dropped! First half of the first scene of chapter 4, this time with a variation for romanced Lotar. There should be a PFM one within a few days as well, hopefully later today or tomorrow, if I can wrap up the draft by then.

Aside from that, once I am done with the second batch of snippets, I’ll have some juicy hurt-comfort prompts for you to pick from! I am very excited about those.

The next month will be a busy one for me, but I am stil...

# “I don’t like that smile.” “Then I doubt you’ll like what’s coming next.” - Joran

While you, or rather your body, is safely hidden miles and miles away from Elazar, as soon as your head hits the pillow, the chase begins anew.

It’s a surreal experience that you never quite adjust to, no matter how many times it occurs. Your muscles relax, your consciousness drifts off, and then, it’s like waking up from a nap in the middle of a lecture.  View Post

A quick one to let you know what I did and what I am working on right now.

A 5k update of FMO just dropped with technically the first 2 scenes of chapter 4, but I moved them before the 'chapter 4' screen to make the cut in a better (imo) place and without a cliffie. 

Monthly prompts have been chosen (the 'lists' are still open if you want to request a snippet for later, though), and I'll start writing them after the weekend, along with another POV. 

Other than that...

# “My God, you’re fun to kiss” - Reed 

The electronic music in the club is deafening, bass-heavy. The pounding of speakers makes your whole body vibrate, adding to the restless energy you’ve been carrying within the whole evening.

Your other senses are similarly overwhelmed by the pink neon lights, and the stench of booze mixed with smoke. The heavy taste of artificial flavoring clogs your throat, sticking to the roof of your mouth like glue.

Chapter 3 of FMO is officially done!!! 😍 But I decided to shift the first scene of chap 4 into chapter 3, so, haha. I just think it’ll work better like this, without the cliffhanger.  

The end scenes of chapter 3 briefly introduce 2 potential ROs I want to have in the DLC, so that was exciting to write. I am also looking forward to chapter 4 a lot, especially the beginning of it.

Aside from that, the second part of the prompts is up, too! The third one should be uploaded...

# "You've got an awfully kissable mouth" - Flavio

You shoot out of the HQ like a rocket, hoping against hope that your workout-deficient legs can somehow outrun Esposito’s.

No such luck. For a guy who seems to live on canned beans and protein bars, he catches up to you within a second, laughing the whole way.

“What’s the rush, Speedy Gonzales? Neither of us can legally drive, remember?” he says, pointing his chin in the direction of...

I am finally done with the FMO branching. I thought the variables would KO me, but I made do! I have the last 2 scenes of chapter 3 drafted, I just need to clean and code them in. I am so stoked it’s insane!

A new Twine POV is also already written, it’ll be posted as soon as I have it polished.

Now, I was thinking about a good way to let you know what happened in FMO during the time MC was gone without it being an info dump fest, and I decided a fun way to let you see AND expe...

A quick one, just to let you know I am actively writing and doing fine. I don't know what's in the air this month, but time is flying by, and I only get busier??

On a more positive note, I drafted out the entirety of chapter 3 for FMO, and after the romance merge it’s only 2 scenes left until chapter 4! Guys! I am so excited, like holy ssss on a stick. 

So, this entire week after finishing PFM's update, I'll be doing NOTHING but FMO. Well, I lied, I will sleep, too, but oth...

❤️ PFM: Valentine's Day (pre-relationship) snippets

The heart-shaped vials of perfume stare at you tauntingly from the display by the cash register. They attract the eye, which is why you placed them there, but the festive atmosphere quickly sours your mood.

Surrounded by the seasonal decor, and pestered by nothing but love songs on repeat, you’re constantly reminded of your newly acknowledged infatuation. A definitely not reciprocated infatuation, at that.

Now that you are conscious of your unfortunate predicament, it g...

A quick one! Happy V’s Day, I managed to finish all FMO and PFM snippets just in time! I'll be posting them in a sec. Hope you enjoy. :D

Next, I’ll be working on the actual story updates, so that’s what you can expect to see. And if I have enough time, I’ll get back to the monthly prompts, too.

That’s all for now. Take care!

As if being stranded in the middle of a no-name countryside wasn’t a shitshow in and of itself, the snowstorm rapidly transforms from ‘mildly inconvenient’ to ‘sharknado but with hail.’

The landscape blinds you with pure white from whichever direction you gaze at. Not to mention the strong air current that compels the edge of your scarf to slap your face. Repeatedly. The joy of joys.

Thanks to that, it only ta...

What was meant to be a ‘quick meeting’ stretches past your usual overtime, and the only upside to this is the hefty bonus check you’re going to receive by the end of this week.

Say what you want about the SPD, but they sure spare no expenses, even for an unrelated standby who’s doing nothing but playing a fool while the big guns come and play. You can only thank your luck... for being at th...

With the year’s end, the subjugation approaches to a close. Your new [Lord/Lady]’s victory is only a formality at this point - you should expect a convoy with Mastravisch’s orders within a fortnight.

Though the newly claimed terrain is treacherous and wild, securing the wastes en route to the Beyond sends a bold message that the Crown will no longer be able to ignore. The discovery of a crystal mine chain is a...

This time, though, it’s Reed, of all people, who you have to guide back to his own apartment before he gets himself into even more trouble.

He comes along willingly enough, with eyes wide open and face unguarded. He ...
