#V writes stuff: WIP

[halfelvened]

Work in Progress: Untitled

Maia (RT) and Heinrix play a game of regicide in the bath, and discuss a ball she is holding in his honour. He would rather be executed than attend, probably.

Rogue Trader x Heinrix Van Calox. Nothing spicy at present.

Vague endgame spoilers, maybe?

Heinrix doesn't exactly express his chagrin when Maia von Valancius announces her intention to hold a ball to celebrate his official appointment as her new Master of Whispers, but he comes fairly close to it.

“I think you’ll find that this is all just wildly unnecessary, Maia,” he interjects almost mournfully a few evenings later, as they lounge against the ledge of her bathing pool, where a battered, water-spotted regicide board - and a tray of tiny delicacies - rests between them. Heinrix has lingered over his turn, brow ever so slightly knit, before finally edging his Ecclesiarch forward with a knuckle.

“Perhaps,” Maia agrees mildly, dimples flickering in her cheeks at his mild dismay. “But what sort of Rogue Trader would I be if I didn’t lean into ridiculous excess—at least on occasion?”

Almost mindlessly, she reaches for her Knight, fingers just shy of brushing the tip, opting instead to pop a tiny, exquisitely prepared tart into her mouth.

Heinrix exhales sharply in the sarcastic little scoff that she has so missed of late, eyes clocking her lips for a breathless millisecond, before returning to the game.

“In this instance, you would be a most kind and merciful one,” he replies, voice low and wry, tempered by the hint of a crooked smile.

Maia rolls her eyes before reaching out to rest her foot on his ankle and casually flicking a Citizen forward.

“Well, we can’t have that.”

Heinrix scoffs again, but his eyes are warm.

“Naturally not.”

They sit in comfortable silence for a time, save for the gentle lull of the bathwater and the increasingly frequent clicks of game pieces being moved or snatched up—the muted exclamations of progress and frustration.

“If you’re truly against such an event, I’ll cancel it,” Maia says eventually, sipping at her neglected glass of amasec. Her voice cuts through his strategizing. “It’s just…” She sighs. “So many of us will be going our separate ways soon.”

Heinrix flicks his gaze toward her, focused and steady.

“Cassia has responsibilities to her house. Jae will rush off to conquer the Expanse in her own way.” She sets the glass down, the thud echoing off the walls with a cold sort of finality. “Even Abelard is taking up a desk job on the planet to be with family. It’s likely that we will all… That it’s the last… We’ll never…”

Her voice catches, throat suddenly dry, shamefully hot. For all her confidence and bravado, Maia was wilfully pushing away the fact that this chapter of her life was hurtling toward its conclusion— that her retinue, her closest friends, would be scattered to the winds.

Heinrix absently shuffles a piece across the board, unsure how best to respond to this sudden vulnerability, before moving to take her into his arms. He pauses at the last second, hesitant, giving her the choice to close the space between them.

She accepts, sliding through the water to curl up against his chest. She wedges her head under his chin, grateful for comfort, and the silence.

“And besides…” she murmured. “You never danced with me at my Magnae Accessio.”

She sniffed and turned to study the board.

“Frankly, unforgivable.”

Heinrix laughs openly now—a soft bark. He pivots slightly, easing her gently against the stone ledge as he reaches over to move his Emperor and launch his own counter-offensive.

“If it’s a dance you wanted, my lady, you need only ask.” He presses his lips to her forehead—firmly, lingering. “Check.”

She looks at the board for some time, hands tangled in the soft, damp hair at the nape of his neck.

“Well,” she murmurs,

“If that’s the case, then I’ll —”

for your 2hcb1 richard and sophie consideration 😋

oml I know EXACTLY which sub travel comic this is from, it's my favorite 😂 lil feisty sophie is adorable, ready to throw hands if anyone tries to hurt her friends 💜💜💜💜

i'm sure she behaves like that toward anyone Richard doesn't like (that's her job as his bodyguard!), but as long as Richard and Asbel are getting along she considers Asbel a friend too (and thus gets to have a parallel arc to canon where she worries that Richard will be sad if she kills Asbel even tho asbel asks her to). This other panel from the same comic kinda matches their vibe too (scan from blasteriidx):

Richard and Sophie get to spend the timeskip together as friends so they've developed their own little inside jokes and traditions, while Asbel has more of an outside-looking-in feeling (and perhaps a smidge of jealousy that Richard has more friends to rely on than just him while he has nowhere else left to go). They do try to welcome Asbel into their fold though by swearing a mini friendship pact with him in their secret fort (so no trees were harmed in the making of this friendship 😅)

[aro-aizawa]

me: its been a while since i last wrote anything i should really get my ass in gear i've got like maybs 2 chapters until im done w the current arc....

my muse: lol write your not-posted wip instead

me: wait

my muse: this wip is now 25k words and you won't be able to post it for at least 25k words more

me: wait please

my muse: have fun!!!!

[alienbrainworm]

Decided it would be fun to do a little character introduction for my main idiots with each of my WIPs. I'm also planning to do a proper WIP introduction at some point, but my sillies first <3

Event V: Haloed Horizons

Jakrin (he/it): Absolute nerd, resident mechanic. Loves ships probably more than himself and is absolutely mentally unwell. Traumatized as fuck, but he's getting better (lies) (mostly) (they all are so it's fine). Loyal to a fault to its family crew.

Syzygy (she/he): Pilot of the ship and absolutely not the captain of the crew, she'll deck you if you say that. He brought the crew all together and is the only reason they're all still alive today. Reasonable, smart, and extremely protective; she loves her idiots.

Chirp (they/he): Handles the communication part of jobs. The other three have a talent for pissing people off, purposeful or not, but he is also a master mimic and is adept at learning new languages. Also a resident prankster thanks to those mimicry skills.

Pyyri (he/it): Feral little shit of the crew. He's short and it's all filled with rage. Itchy trigger fingers and a knack for thievery, he's easily the one constantly bringing chaos upon the crew, and Jakrin's always more than happy to join in and help; much to the dismay of Syzygy and Chirp.

The Dead Life Theory

Theo (he/him): Fucked-up rich-boy-turned-circus-member. Brash and rude, he comes off as a total asshole, but when you get to know him... he's still a total asshole. But the tough exterior is hiding a good ally beneath all those snapping words.

Harlow (she/her): Extraordinarily protective and loving, but takes no shit, especially from Theo's smart-assed mouth. Joined the traveling circus as a younger teen and loved it, sticking around and only becoming more skilled at what she does. Filled with questions, all the time.

"Dog" Elkan (it/its): Aspiring swamp-creature. Loves exploring, collecting shiny shit, and getting into trouble. It grew up in the circus, as its parents run the thing, and it's spent basically its entire life training dogs. Loves its dogs more than anything, and it'll almost always choose dogs over humans.

333

??? (we/it): Doesn't seem to understand it's only one thing. Or... looks like it is, at least. Weird, off-putting, creepy, but... helpful?

Marilou: Confused as fuck. Doing the best a tired barista can do. Enraptured by the pretty girl weirdly determined to befriend Marilou.

Aimee (she/they): Absolutely self-confident queen who is haunted by the weird creature she met all those years ago when she went into a coma. I mean, what? They are maybe a little too in love with coffee, and are definitely way too sleep deprived from their reading habits.

Round Three of Calling You Mine (working title)

Cory (he/it): Confident, ambitious, and determined, he was always sure from a young age he would be a famous music artist and nothing would get in his way. Fell in a little too deep with shitty stuff, but made it anyways. Maybe with a few too many sacrifices, but he can put on his smile. A little hot-headed and quick to fight, but has a heart of gold he wears proudly on his sleeve.

Atlantis (he/they): Obsessed with everything ocean, he always assumed he'd be a marine biologist or something similar at some point, but quickly got wrapped up in the chaos and dreams of the up-and-coming soon-to-be-star Cory upon moving to the U.S. for college. Always rather avoiding confrontation but not afraid to stand up for himself or those they love, but sometimes... it's hard for him to tell exactly who those are.

Jackie (he/it): Hot-headed bastard who falls way too quickly, way too hard, and way too loyally. But also is extraordinarily self-destructive. A great combo, that surely caused no problems for him or its loved ones. Surely not. Other than that, passionate about storytelling and is constantly filled with random ideas that he loves sharing with his loves ones.

✨✨wwwwiiippp wednesday !!!!

thank you to @glitchinginthegarden for tagging me :3

havent had the time to draw anything conkreet so lots n lots of thumbnails this time around ....

some eurovance wips for an upcoming fic + working on hound's design!! not entirely sold on it yet but i do want it to look like his flesh is hanging off his mechanical skeleton

+ fic wip below!

[text reads:

He guesses he can chalk it up to when V had worked for Arasaka. The merc hasn’t told him much about it...only that he had netrun for them. Kerry had never asked, either; it’s not his business.

But he can’t help but wonder sometimes. 

How is it that V could’ve gone to hell and back; netrun for the top brass; traversed the alley-long gutter that is Night City--and come out the other side only to end up curled around Kerry fucking Eurodyne like he’s still protecting him, even in his sleep?

end text]

ill probably finish the fic 'round january, bc i rlly rlly want to write something for the silverv weekend in feb..anyhoo!!

tagging @netripper @necro-hamster @civilization-illstayrighthere and anyone else who'd like to join !!

[lamortwrites]

Sorry I just saw your tags bloodborne au????? Tell me more!! (if you want of course)

bloodborne au................

so the genesis of the idea came from laubritter posting abt Gort using the threaded cane, at which point I went whoa wouldn't a bloodborne style gort boss fight be so cool...and then @todderwodders poked my brain with a hot poker and then I saw this art and went WHOA dead threesome...and then I bounced some ideas off of @lifegoesohno and a three act structure and a sequel fell out of my head...and then I noodled about with some scenes bc I didn't wanna commit to A Long Fic bc I don't even know if I could finish one...and then I info dumped at Nic for a while and he's been very nice about it all and now I. might be writing a long fic or two

most of the pre canon bloodborne lore ended up lining up really nicely with characters from the baldur's gate series hah, there's still a couple things I haven't fully nailed down but I have like 90% of the outline done and I think this is the most excited I've been to work on something in. a VERY long time haha, like I have barely thought about bg3 canon in. probably a month at least lol

I have an inspo tag for it and have posted a couple of extracts on the writing blog but I'm. mostly just hoping I can keep up enough momentum to do something with it! it's been a long time since I wrote anything more than a oneshot with any degree of success haha

[elvenbeard]

WIP Wednesday!

Aaahhhh!!! It's Wednesday again!! thanks for the tag and reminder @theviridianbunny :D

Okay so... I have too many wips, but what is new?

Modding Stuff

Currently trying to get into pose modding because I'm loving what @humberg is doing and we're kind of egging each other on with stuff to make XD I'm loving it!!

This is pretty much all I have as of right now, I wanna get started with some hand holding poses (humberg is doing all the cuddling in the meantime :D). There's gonna be so much fluff, be ready for it!!

Still trying to find my way back into Blender, but I love imagining all the scenarios and scenes and asödhfasödfhsdf really looking forward to this XD In the meantime, all my other neglected modding ideas are crying. I need more hours in my day!

Writing Stuff

Continuing "Love is Stored in the Olive Jar" a little bit more slowly, but steadily! Chapter 7 is in the works and the boys are gonna be in trouble 👀

VP Stuff

Just the tiniest preview!! I took these like two weeks ago but still didn't get around to editing them 😩 I need more hours in my days 2.0. But yes, get ready for some summer vibes pics soon-ish (I hope). And yes, I'm still obsessed with @pinkyjulien's Dad Shirts, don't call me out.

Art Stuff

I have actually done a tiny bit of drawing (although I wanna do so much more 😩 I need more hours in my day 3.0... and someone to just pay me to do blorbo content 24/7 so I dont need a dayjob anymore XD). No but really XD I sketched out several little comics MONTHS ago and never got around to refining them a bit, I would like to start with this one though maybe:

This is page 3/10, my fave so far XD A lot of work is still needed, as I wanna do this in full color, because, why not XD But yeah... with everything else currently on my to do list it's hard to start somewhere sometimes XD

What would you start with? XD *youtuber voice* let me know in the comments!

If you're reading this, consider yourself tagged to share a WIP of your own :3

[nixknacks0-0]

Omg actually very excited about this WIP game that @ltwharfy tagged me in

Anyways the rules go that in a new post, list the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it. And then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

I've not been active on here the past week or two and have no idea who has done this or not, so if you see this and you haven't been tagged yet, consider yourself tagged! (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧

Funny enough I don't have a specific wip folder, but rather I break things down by fandom/universe so I'll be doing my best to compile everything under Bob's burgers/not Bob's burgers. That's really where my focus is right now lol

I'm also very much a believer in valuing having story ideas even if they go nowhere, so more than a few of these are just that, but please ask anyways! I'm excited to tell people about the things I'm working on

I've also got 'master docs' for my longer stories, which I use to draft plots and create a continuous first draft, so I'll leave those out for stuff that has individual chapters in the works

I also have different naming criteria for plots/second drafts/final drafts so this is going to be really fun to decipher (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

[hauntingofhouses]

hi, it's me. the fic writer that uses culturally-specific idioms in a very different cultural time setting and keeps confusing words like reign and rein. this is my story.

[eldritch-nightmare]

this is how it's going btw i'm gonna spend a century struggling to give the thing a name bc i dont wanna just call it eyeless jack x reader bc that's not fun.

[kandicon]

Kandi, have you found a new hyperfixation without me?

I-

Mayyyyyyyyyybbbbbbbbbeeeeeeeeeeeee

Just a little.

In my defense the podcast is 200 episodes long (the shortest episode is 17 minutes, but most frequently they're in the mid 20s) and therefore very time consuming to get into. However if u would like to feel included I can and WILL drop rambles about it at the drop of a hat (my two favs are a facet of the literal personification of all that should not exist, insanity, and deceit who is also partially a guy who was sacrificed to a door by his boss to stop the end of the world (the world wouldn't have ended anyways) and merged with the embodiment of everything listed above and now is very much not happy with having to exist and is having identity issues over it; the other fav is a (dead) goth who burns books and went to kill the guy who's books they all were, but thought the guy he was attacking was too pathetic to be the actual guy he was looking for so he just left halfway thru the murder (spoiler alert: it was the right guy))

Also it is SO much easier to write horror stories about an actual story as opposed to cartoon robots. Like the first fic I started writing after reaching official fic territory was about the character (Helen) who replaced first fav (Michael) as the facet of insanity/delusion/distortion/all that pulling pieces of Michael out of her throat (because when he died and dissolved into door he had to go somewhere), like indepth descriptions about how her esophagus that should not exist because she doesn't exist feels as complete limbs emerge, how it swells and at one point there was the feeling of bones sliding out of the leg further down even as the meat rises (bc it is very much a corpse with bones and meat not that attached any more). And how she has to reach her, long, irregular, sharp hands down her throat-that-should-not-be to pull pieces out. And even as it comes to an end she has to look down and see that the Michael in pieces on her floor is far FAR more human than the one she knew.

I've also half written stuff about both favs (Gerard is the name of the goth) having sweet moments together that I heavily underscore with the fact that they both are pawns to the same person, and their lives will likely end whenever that person wishes. Gerard, however, is the only one aware of this and has no intention of telling Michael about everything (though he knows he should). I <3 doomed characters

Also another short thing abt Gerard being a goth and doing his makeup in the firelight of a burning book that has supernaturally killed ppl, completely ignoring his bleeding body in favor of smudging his eyeshadow juuuuuust right. Also him putting his cigarette out one of his tattoos meant to represent an entity attempting to make him a monster thingy (which was my fav part to write)

📌 new substack drop: HOW TO END A CHAPTER SO READERS ACTUALLY TURN THE PAGE

hey writer friends 🖤 do your chapters kinda… just end?

👉 like they don't suck, but they don’t pull either?

👉 like you’re not sure if it's a scene break or a full stop?

👉 like you're writing good stuff but readers keep putting it down?

i just dropped a brand new newsletter post that’s gonna fix that:

✶ “How to End a Chapter So Readers Actually Want to Turn the Page”

this isn’t your basic “end on a cliffhanger lol” advice. this is about:

→ micro-cliffhangers → emotional punches → character choices → momentum > resolution → the ✨ satisfying unsettlement ✨ that keeps readers up til 3am

plus a bonus trick i use in my own WIPs that makes chapters feel seamless (even when they’re not)

🖤 it’s an easy read, fast and smart, and you’ll leave with like 3 new techniques to try immediately

📩 read it here:

💌 and follow the newsletter if you want more gritty, smart, non-aesthetic writing advice that actually helps you write better books.:

🪞reblogs are v loved. so are comments if it helped 💬 🖇️ if you’re a writer, i’d love to follow you too 📚 and yes, i’m building a little writers’ library over on substack, come hang out

AFFECTION — Soldier Boy

Summary: During a mission, Soldier Boy receives a hug from you unexpectedly. He likes it.

Pairing: Soldier Boy/Ben x female supe!reader.

Word count: 0.9k

Warnings: canon violence and language, reader is kinda hurted, descriptions of blood and stuff, AU where Ben is working with the team on missions (which is what should've happened on the show btw), Soldier Boy being Soldier Boy lmao, Ben and reader are totally opposites and I live for that. Based on this post.

Note: soooo I'm still making some arrangements to my Soldier Boy long fic and instead I have this short drabble in the meantime. Hope you enjoy it hehe.

the boys/jackles tags: @k-slla

(if anyone would like to be added to my tags just tell me^^)

☕ if you like my writing, support me with a ko-fi !

GEN MASTERLIST!

You groanned, feeling the hard wall hit against your back. It was hard to believe but you thought probably you wouldn't go out of this alive. Your body ached and not even your strenght could stop this guy.

Fucking Butcher, why did you have to follow him to suicide again? Just a couple of cunts, he said. But he forgot to mention they had a weird improved dosis of V injected.

You fell to the ground as the man walked towards you. He was extremely tall and well-buff. No sense the Compound V on his system made him better, or at least that's what he thought. He was tossed to the ground by your side, and you crawled to the corner of the small room.

The distance was not enough to let you run away. You stayed there, watching Soldier Boy's big frame over the man. He used his shield, beting him to death and destroying his face and neck during the process. You were so damn sure his loud groans of pain would remain on your mind at least for a couple of days.

"Fucking pussy," the old man said, wipping some blood off his face. He got on his feet ungracefully and grabbed his shield back. He turned to look at you, still sitting on the floor. "You okay?"

You nodded. "Yeah."

He held you a bloody hand, which you took to stand up. There was an akward silence as you and Ben left the small room, you followed him around the dirty basement, filled with lifeless bodies and fluids on the ground, to meet with Butcher and Hughie.

"Guess those were all," Butcher announced.

"I have the remaining dosis," you took the tube from the pocket of your pants and showed them with a smile on your face. "Was the last one."

"Excellent," Butcher grabbed it and tossed it to Hughie, who saved the tube on a bag.

"We made it out, huh," you mumbled.

"Well, we're still down here, so," Hughie shrugged and three pairs of eyes narrowed at him. "What?"

"Just think positively, for once," you pleaded with a fake sharp tone. "Isn't that hard, y'know."

Ben rolled his eyes.

"We're on a fucking shithole, the kid's right. Let's go now before any of you fuck this up," he ordered and passed by between Butcher and Hughie, hitting his shoulder intentionally in the process.

You quickly followed behind his long soldier strides. "Wait!"

Soldier Boy scoffed and closed his eyes slowly only to open them again. You stood on his way with a big smile and wide eyes. Bruises and blood adorned your face and neck, your clothes were also splattered with dry blood and dirt after killing those clandestine stupid supes on an undercover mission at night, and still you acted like nothing had happened. He stood in place, with Hughie and Butcher standing behind expecting what the fuck you'd be doing this time. Sometimes he thought you were so fucking annoying.

"The fuck you want?"

You opened your lips to say something but nothing came out. Once you closed them, you beamed again and closed the distance between him and you. You wrapped your arms around his strong waist and rested your grubby check against his chest. He tensed visibly under your hug and after a moment you pulled away, your hands behind your back with a shy smile. Hughie and Butcher were clearly holding back a good laugh. They knew better not to mock Soldier Boy, not yet though.

Ben blinked a couple of times, trying to process what happened.

"What the fuck was that?"

You giggled. "Affection."

He wrinkled his nose. "Disgusting."

You gasped and faked sadness on your voice. "Why? I was just saying 'thank you for saving my ass'."

"It's fucking nothing," he rolled his eyes and started to walk again to guide the team outside, with the other two men with playful smirks on their faces following behind.

"Ben!" you quickly caught his pace to stand by his side. "Thank you, okay? Probably you don't like physical contact but I do. And this is how I show others that I care about them and that I'm thankful. I also give hugs because I like them and–"

"Shh!" Ben raised his hand, suddenly stopping his tracks by the end of the stairs that'd lead you outside. He turned and looked at you with that grumpy face of his. "I said you're welcome, sweetheart. Now we need to go, you can talk to me about your hugs shit later."

He pointed to Hughie and Butcher. "Now, you, cocksuckers, go up."

Butcher grinned, going first. "Sure, cap."

"You shut up," Soldier Boy warned, Hughie gulped and nodded, and made his way up on the stairs.

You stood there, with a smile on your lips. Always that fucking, idiotic, stupid smile, even after hard missions like the one you just had. It was like if you were the only one who didn't seem scared of him or anything else. Sure, you were a supe and a smart asset on the team. But still, a very peculiar lady through his eyes.

He sighed and rolled his eyes. Once Butcher and Hughie were out of sight he finally talked.

"Do it again."

"Excuse me?"

"The stupid hug, do it again."

You raised your eyebrows, eyes bright as you realized his request. "Really?!"

"God, woman. Do I need to fucking repeat my—?"

His words were cut by your strong hug. You crashed against his frame so hard he lost balance for a bit. He was certainly surprised by how warm your hug it actually felt. You angled your eyes to see his face.

"Thanks!"

You let him go and got up the stairs. He barely curved his lips at how happy you climbed them. Yeah, well he actually liked your stupid hugs.
