out of pure curiosity, I think I remember you mentioned you were writing a sydrichie fic. Is that still the plan?

“I think I see,” he’s saying, and he’s still got that stupid scuzzy grin on his face that makes her want to stab him. Again. Except it’s fading a little bit now, fading, falling till there’s a pique in his brow and his eyes are blowing dark. “Think I see what’s going on. Sydney needs to get laid, huh. That’s it. Little baby Syd needs to come before she kills someone. That right, princess? You want to fucking kill me?” // She swallows: sharp. She says, “Yeah. Yeah—maybe I do, Richie. Maybe I fucking do.”

Reblog if you write fic and people can inbox you random-ass questions about your stories, itemized number lists be damned.

another snippet please x

If it is a lie it does not taste like one. She thinks of rain, the lady and the mother. She thinks of lotus flowers and lifts the sheet to cover her body. // He bunches it inside a fist where he stands at the foot of the bed. He pulls it: hard, quick. She is bare in the bloody light. She shifts against the pillows, watches as he leans a knee onto the bed. Starts to crawl. (Always the feeling of an animal; half-wild, treading water. Waiting to snag a claw into your throat. Bite it deep, tear it out.) 🫀
