"And if she has been tortured? Do you wish to hear these things from the lips of a friend as he is interrogated? Or do you wish me to find the information and relay it to you after I am certain he is concealing nothing else from you?"

Lizzy fell silent, still trying to catch her breath through her anger as she shook her head.

"So... you're trying to help me?" She demanded, glaring at him, and [Redacted's] shoulders relaxed as he offered her a small, gentle smile.

"I have been doing nothing but try to help you since I first heard of a fey seeking me out by name," he promised, and Lizzy's eyes fell closed as she let herself just feel the maelstrom of emotions humming through her chest.

In the blink of an eye, the ice had been dyed red.

Kalvin's head spun with how fast everything had happened, and his consciousness was blurred with the sheer level of chaos that had unfolded in the past several minutes. He couldn't help but stare as he watched the skaters from both the Riptide and the Mirage throw blow after blow into each other. Kalvin swallowed hard as he felt frozen in place, stuck in his net, his hands shaking despite the bulky gloves that covered them. He tightly gripped onto his stick, his eyes widened and his mouth hung slightly open as the scene unfolded. 

If he were honest, Kalvin didn't remember how they even got here in the first place.

Thanks for tagging me, @darknightfrombeyond! Here goes nothing!

“That day Steve and Sam had me in that vice,” Bucky started but stopped just as he finished another cupcake. “Why the hell did you do what you did to prove who you were? I knew who you were. Steve knew. You didn’t need to sing that song…”

“I needed to prove who I was because, let’s face it, who in their right mind—besides you and Steve, I guess—would believe my story? And Sam. Bless his heart, he doesn’t think I escaped Bellevue.” Bucky chuckled at the name of the most famous psychiatric hospital in New York City. “Was my singing that bad? I did flub some of the words, I know, but I didn’t think I was that bad.”

No-pressure tags: I am tagging these amazing authors, but anyone can jump in as the spirit moves! And if you have been tagged recently, please feel free to take a pass on this.

Heads up Seven Up/Last Writing/etc. ✨️

Thanks for the tags! I got enough of them that I'm just tagging my list of peers at the end lmao.

From Ch 5 of my WIP, 7 Circles:

Demyen had been trying to put Klaus in impossible positions for fourteen years, and loathe as Klaus is to admit it, he might have finally started looking for flaws in the right places. If Klaus shows Kazimier mercy, he risks exposure. If he doesn’t, he risks assimilation. In one fell swoop, Demyen had made Klaus feel on-edge in his own penthouse, taken away any lingering ability to ignore his complicity in the PA system, and given him a constant reminder of what is at stake if he’s stupid enough to soften towards the poor bastard who didn’t have any real choice in being Demyen’s pawn, even if he is annoyingly observant and always thinking, always tapping his fingers or playing with the hem of his clothes in want of something to fidget with.

It has only been two weeks, and Klaus is softening, and the bastard knows it.

He has worked himself into enough of a temper by the time he opens the door to the penthouse that he’s not even sure which of the two of them he’s cursing when a sharp crackling sound punches through the air, a pained sound from the bastard in question at it’s heels.

Shit!

I haven't been posting as much due to an unexpected death in the family but I'm still alive and kickin', just might not be as active for awhile 💙

:))))) Raven and Sapphire Angst :))))) Mmmmm I love this shit :)))) The Witch Queen used the dark magic and Raven of course being Raven used himself as a shield for Sapphire :DDD

There was another stab of the burning, writhing pain and he bit back a ragged scream of pain, clutching his side as tears burned in his eyes. It was so painful and overwhelming for a brief moment he was sure it would kill him.

The others managed to fight off the Witch Queen until she used her magic to retreat, and Trievya dropped next to them while the others scattered to grab supplies from the horses.

Triveya attempted to peel back Raven’s leather armor and linen shirt underneath to get a better look, but the lightest touch made the pain infinitely worse and he flinched away as a ragged cry tore out of his throat.

Triveya said firmly, “Raven, I need to look at it, I need to see what she hit you with.”

Raven tried to apologize or respond with something coherent, but he could only manage a couple words through gritted teeth. “It- it hurts-”

Sapphire cradled his head in her hands, brushing dark waves and loose curls out of his eyes. “I know, I know it hurts,” She breathed, tears glistening in her beautiful dark blue eyes, “Triveya needs to look at it- focus on me, alright? Focus on me.”

From The Secret Portal Part Two:

Dr. Asghar sighed, looked at her watch. “It’s about time for everyone to get up. Go wait in the dining hall for Hye-Jin.” “Hye-Jin?” I repeated. “I never mentioned our plans to eat breakfast today.” “We’re a lot more alike than we initially thought,” Dr. Asghar mused. Confused, I slowly left the lab and headed down the hall to the elevator.

Hehehe this makes more sense in context but some may be able to figure it out

Thank you for the tag @cljordan-imperium! Without much regret, I am here to inform you all that I have a brand new wip idea, and I'm going to run with it until it's not fun anymore! Have a little taste--

“What kind of name is Sutton, anyways?” he said. His voice was deeper than she’d expected—adulthood winning in that department. Sutton decided on a strong offense, and climbed up on to a barstool without being invited. “The kind when your mom is dumb about naming things. She had a hamster in college that she called Bradley.” “That’s my name.” Sutton allowed herself one small victorious smile. “I know.”

Thanks to @phoenixradiant for tagging me!

Long story short, I was sitting bored on a train this weekend and decided to write a continuation of this Flash Friday piece. Could it be a new WIP? Who knows 👀

"You'll get used to it." The lad beside her offered a bottle of dark liquid.

"Do I want to know whose blood this is?" She took the bottle by the neck and hovered it over her mouth. The drink left her tongue singing with an invitation of the inevitable.

"Wait, are you serious?" His face lit up in disbelief.

"No, this is clearly just cranberries mashed with a whole pile of crystal fruit and crushed grapes for good measure." She took another sip and replaced the cork. "You're adorable. This is Councillor Emar's specialty, wine embued with the blood from a source I have no knowledge of."

Waiting for him outside of the southern gate was a garden of granite, an ever-growing field of graves with neat rows of square headstones. A high-pitched whine echoed from the forest behind him, but when he turned he saw only darkness. Sweet berries and an earthy, damp smell traveled through the night air to brush past his nostrils.

Gonna share some from Darkling today, so I'll pop it under a cut so that people can avoid spoilers.

“Then you must learn to fight as a vampire would.” “I’m about as good at that as [Redacted] is!” Booker snapped, and Lizzy flinched, surprised at the bitterness to his voice and although Olwen didn’t recoil the way Lizzy had, she went very still. One eyebrow arched slowly, and Booker backed down almost immediately, running both hands through his messy hair. “You want to place a blade in my hand and teach me to kill,” Booker muttered, and Lizzy’s breath caught as the pieces began falling into place. “And I… I can’t even lie and say I want you to. I don’t.” “Booker?” Lizzy asked softly, waiting until he looked at her, before reaching out unsteadily to touch his mind.

“Dude, I had that guy’s ass on that fucking play-” “Yeah, okay, man, whatever-”

Zayne swallowed a growing lump in his throat, his thin frame tensing up as he desperately clung to any sort of attention span he had left. He took a shallow breath in, his hands wrapping around the beer glass in the silent hope that maybe it would give him something else to anchor his attention onto. He watched his teammates’ hands move in such an animated fashion that the way they seemed to flail around instantly put Zayne one step away from having his stomach turn over on him. He watched as they re-lived whatever stories they were telling for the night, and Zayne heard most of the words they said, but knew he wasn’t recording anything at this point.

His mind wanted nothing more than to be anywhere else right now. Their chatter felt almost incessant.

tag! @somethingclevermahogony, @adhdavinci, @imaginationxlost, @sentinels-and-spellcasters, @sageswriteblr, and an open tag

this bit's from the Cyberwitch WIP:

Where there’s a mic, someone’s listening. Vy breathes. Sterile air scalds their burning lungs. They hold it there. They fight off the grimace. They listen to Rune’s voice. Where there’s a camera, someone’s watching. Vy’s finger hovers over the camera icon. Sweat tickles at the small of their back. They chicken out. The folder icon unfolds into an array of files. They tap one. Smile for the camera, Vy. The front of Vy’s bar. Blood spattered ruby-bright on the pavement, across the facade. Another photo; the alleyway. Vy and Cloak, dark specks darting between buildings, across rooftops. Smile, but don’t show them your teeth.

Thank you for @winterandwords for the tag!

Rules: Share seven lines from your WIP

I'm finally sharing a scene in Sciosa's POV. (Yes I did eight lines. It felt odd to leave it off on Sciosa flashing the maid haha. It's seven lines in spirit)

Incense burned all around the bedchamber, leaving a scent of rosemary. A maidservant combed loose, ashen ringlets. Sciosa let the feeling of the comb's teeth against her scalp calm her nerves. Ladies-in-waiting fussed around the dim room. Two servants came up, one with a perfumed oil, and the other with a deep purple box. The former smoothed oil on the inside of the princess's wrists. She blotted behind each pointed ear, allowing Sciosa to move her silken robe to reveal her breastbone. Which was promptly oiled.

Raven and Sapphire Angst YAY :D! He took a hit for her and dark magic is a painful thing to remove >:))))

He painstakingly moved his hand from clutching his injured side, to instead tightly hold onto her hand caressing his face. As Triveya and one of the others peeled back his tunic and shirt, he had to force himself not to flinch or pull away, and keep his hand tightly holding Sapphire’s. His breath hitched and broken cries escaped as the writhing, burning pain got worse.

The sickening and horrified silence told him more than enough he needed to know. He ground out through gritted teeth, “It’s bad… isn’t it?”

Triveya said firmly, “It’s dark magic. A lot of it. And it’s going to corrupt you like it has The Witch Queen and her dark sorcerers if we don’t get it out. Fast.” One of the others rushed over with her saddlebag with magic supplies, and she started digging through it. She instructed the others, “We’re gonna have to hold him down. I’m sorry, Raven, this is really, really going to hurt.”

Sapphire asked anxiously, “W- can’t you- knock him out with magic or something?”

Triveya shook her head as she started pulling out magical medical supplies. “Absolutely not. If he’s unconscious the dark magic can work much faster to corrupt him and take him over completely. Sapphire, you need to keep him awake to buy me time to get it out.”

Sapphire held him a little tighter, looking down at Raven in worry. He forced out between labored breaths, “It’s alright, Sapph’- I’ll- I’ll be fine, Love.”
