Prompt: Tender Warnings: None.

Out of all the places in Hisui, the Alabaster Icelands had to be the absolute worst. Colder than any winter they had experienced back in modern times, Riley always returned to Jubilife Village freezing, no matter how much they bundled up. Heading back towards their residence, Riley finds Ingo waiting by their door, waving them down. “Riley,” several of the townsfolk jump at his booming voice, but Riley smiles, already feeling a little less miserable and a little more at home, “I see you’ve had a safe journey from the Alabaster Icelands! How was your quest to continue you with your cataloging of the Pokemon?”

“So-so, Didn’t find as much as I would like,” Ingo gives them a sympathetic look as they open the door, “But I’m sure I’ll find them. Wanna come in for coffee?”

“I would appreciate some coffee, but-,” He gives them a pointed look towards their hands, “you are shaking, and we should-.”

“Just cold,” They tease, sliding one of their gloves off and pressing the back of their right hand to his cheek, “See? Takes me a while to shake off the freeze from the icelands.”

His silver eyes widen slightly at the contact before taking their hand in his warm one, his touch incredibly tender and warm. “We should hurry inside and get you warmed up to avoid any potential injuries,” Ingo states, pulling them into their residence all while holding onto their hand. Ingo’ll find no complaint from Riley, especially if he’s the one helping them to warm up.

WIP Wednesday

Hey Everybody, I know it's been a while, but I feel like I have something to share! I was tagged by @direwombat, @clicheantagonist, @socially-awkward-skeleton, @captastra, and so many others. Thank you so much for tagging me; It is always a joy to read what you are working on! 💙

I'll throw a few tags to @sstewyhosseini, @marivenah, @hoesephseed, @confidentandgood, @thomrainer, @derelictheretic, @detectivelokis, @strangefable, and anyone else who has anything to share!

So, I don't have anything Far Cry 5 related to share. I'm hoping to work on the final edits for Chapter 6 of the Five Years Later AU this weekend. I would love to have it out by the end of January, but I'm not sure that I will.

I do have something Resident Evil related. Here is a small snippet from Chapter 1 of Hunter's long fic (TW for Death and Anxiety):

“You’re wrong.” A foreboding feeling falls over Hunter, and they swallow, slightly swaying. What Dr. Griffin was saying wasn’t true. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, it couldn’t be fucking true. “I’m not-I’m fucking not…” They can’t get the rest of the words out.

 “You’re infected, Captain Delaney. I’m sure you are competent enough to understand what that means.”

The world falls out from Hunter as they grip the terminal tightly, trying not to fall to the ground. He’s wrong; They’re not infected. “You’re lying, You’re a fucking liar,” They plead, inhaling panicked breaths. Yet, Hunter knows that is not the truth. They’re infected, and there is only one cure for infection. A bullet, preferably in the head.

“I am not lying, Captain Delaney. You know this,” His tone is harsh, as if he doesn’t have time to deal with a dying person’s hysterics, “Although, you should have mutated by now. None of the subjects lasted this long.” He tilts his head, his gray eyes pensive. “I wonder if there is something special about you, Captain Delaney. To last this long means the virus has found something in you, unique to the other subjects.”

I also have something P*kem*on related. (What can I say? I'm having a lot of fun writing for these two nerds.) Here is a small snippet from a 5+1 style fic:

Riley shakes their head, purposefully ignoring Ingo’s reservations. “Trust me, Ingo. This train is making it to its destination no matter what! Even If I have to swim through the ocean or fight a thousand Wingulls!” The Wingulls would surely lose, no match for Riley’s overwhelming tenacity. Yet, Ingo still feels a sense of anxiety about Riley leaving. They sigh, reaching up to touch his arm. “You know I’m coming back, right? It’s only going to be a year.”

“A year is a long time,” He counters, “It’s possible that you may find something to keep you in Hoenn, something that you feel you are missing in Unova.”

They shake their head, amusement bright in their eyes. “Yeah right,” Riley snorts, “Hoenn is just another place to see; another place to battle trainers. I promise I’m coming back.” Riley’s grin morphs into something truly mischievous. “And when I come back, the first thing I’m doing is kicking your ass in a battle.”

That one is a little rough since it's still in the first draft stages, but I'm having a lot of fun writing it.
