I was so busy being sappy about my real-life love, I almost forgot to post about my disaster fictional children. Namely Ohsàd (he/him) and Araina (she/her) from my #dragonbook, as well as Kori (she/her) and Adria (she/her) from my #SpaceMythWIP. Clearly they’re excellent at expressing their feelings to one another in totally healthy ways. #ValentinesDay #writersofinstagram #scifi #fantasy #YA #bisexual #sapphic #couples #writing #books #love #romance #disaster https://www.instagram.com/p/CoqluwNLipX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Book Review…..Ascendant, book 1 Songs Of Chaos by Michael R. Miller Holt Cook has always served the Order Hall of the Crag dutifully, keeping their kitchen pots clean. Until he discovers a dark secret: dragons do not tolerate weakness among their kin, killing the young they deem flawed. Moved by pity, Holt defies the Order, rescues a doomed egg and vows to protect the blind dragon But the Scourge is rising. The undead are roaming the lands and leaving destruction in their wake. Holt has one chance to survive. To tip the balance in the battles to come Holt must learn to harness the mysterious power of his dragon's core. Holt was never meant to be a dragon rider but with the dragon riders being slaughtered and betrayal lurking in the shadows can Holt figure it out in time and prove to the world that a servant is worthy after all. Ascendant was a great coming of age fantasy story! It's fast paced and full of adventure! Everything that I look for in a book with dragons is in here! Great magic that is unique and intriguing, danger, vivid battle scenes and of course fantastic dragons! The world and character building were done wonderfully. There wasn't a bunch of information all at once. The world came to life a little at a time and the characters are the same way. In the end it created a wonderful picture and the characters have a realistic feel they are flawed but easy to root for. But one of the things I really enjoyed was the bond between the dragons and the riders! The ending wasn't a cliffhanger but there's some much more I want to know about this world and the characters. I can't wait to see what the next book brings! Thank you Books Forward PR and Michael R. Miller for sharing this fantastic story with me! #SongsOfChaos #BookForwardFriends #Bookreview #booklover #read #book #readstagram #dragonbook #comingofageread #fantasybook #fantasybooklovers #authormichealrmiller #bookrecommendation #booksbooksbooks #readreadread (at Cleveland, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc_BNJmLMty/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

hi!! happy friday! maybe hawke/isabela with a florence + the machine lyrics prompt: 27 - I’m the same, I’m the same, I’m trying to change ?

Hello happy Friday! Thank you so much for the prompt <3 Oh it's time for my girls.

(If you’d like me to write you a da2 fic, send me a prompt from here!)

@dadrunkwriting

Pairing: f!Hawke/Isabela

Characters: Marian Hawke, Isabela

Tags: old women in love, dysfunctional relationships, 'it's complicated' on dragonbook, canon-typical violence

Rating: Teen and Up Audiences

"Blood and ashes, my knee." Hawke swears as her leg buckles, but Isabela is already there, chest warm and scraping past her face as she neatly eviscerates the bandit on his way to gut her. Blood sprays warm and salty into Hawke's mouth, and she scowls whilst Isabela takes a moment to massage her own wrist. "You'd think you might have become a slightly tidier killer in the last three decades."

Isabela scoffs and doesn't look at her, whirling to meet their next assailant. "Where's the fun in that?"

Hawke's frown deepens as she pushes herself up, pressing the heel of her palm into the meat of her thigh for leverage. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Despite the fact she's visibly out of breath, Isabela makes a point to huff a sigh in Hawke's direction before flicking a knife at an archer twenty feet away. The ease of the action is belied by the way she compulsively flexes her fingers, after, lips pursing as she rubs her knuckles. "It doesn't mean anything, Hawke, it was just a stupid joke."

Hawke puts both hands on the head of the next attacker and boils him alive just to feel something, her palms searing with the heat of it, hot enough to bubble with a blistering burn. Isabela frowns, folding her weather-beaten face into a map of sunbright wrinkles like a treasure map.

It takes seconds for Isabela to meet her, but in that time she's already tugged a poultice from her belt and unfolded the cloth bundle, pressing the clay-like, cool herb mixture over Hawke's palm. Hawke grits her teeth to hide her relief, but judging by the way the lines around Isabela's mouth tighten, she doesn't buy it.

"You don't think I'm fun any more." Marian accuses.

Isabela rolls her eyes. "No, I think you're old -"

"You're old!"

"And no less foolhardy." Isabela finishes, as if Hawke hadn't interrupted. Her steel-grey curls blow in the wind like waves on an angry sea. She finishes wrapping a linen cloth around Hawke's ruined palms and steps back. In the direction of her mount - and past it, the blue promise of the ocean. It's less than a day's ride from here. Hawke had run into her less than a day ago.

As she so often does, Hawke speaks without thinking. "You can't just -"

"What?" Isabela asks, and her brown eyes flash in the waning daylight like fire. "I can't what, Marian?"

The words sour and die in Hawke's throat. Something else comes out instead. "I only just found you again."

Isabela's mouth tightens, and she turns her head away. She has far less laugh lines than Hawke these days, the skin around the corners of her eyes almost as taut and soft as it ever was. "I know."

Isabela is not quite as quick to climb on her horse as she once was, but Hawke is slower too, and by the time she thinks to move, Isabela is riding down the sand-strewn path toward the cliffs. Briefly, Hawke entertains chasing her; getting on her own mare and making her stay.

But age has, if not made Hawke wise, certainly made her less likely to keep making the same mistakes. Besides, the ache in her knee is splintering, and the pain in her hands is beginning to overcome the wild rush of adrenaline. So she stoops, growling at her stiff shoulders, and begins searching the corpses.

By the time she finds Isabela's bandana, folded neatly into one of the dead men's stiff fingers around a piece of parchment, evening is stretching her long dusky fingers across the golden land. Hawke stands, cracks her back, and kicks a log a little further into the fire.

Then she unfolds the salt stained paper, brushing her fingertips over the soft texture of it. Isabela's writing is scrawled across the page in brown ink.

Antiva City. Cloudreach.

Hawke stares at it for a moment, committing it to memory. Then she drops the page into the campfire and reaches for the flask of whiskey in her vest. When she drinks, she drinks deeply, looking out at the sea. She thinks she can make out a galleon, lurching toward the line where the tide meets the horizon.

But then again, her eyes aren't what they used to be.

More progress with Crispin. I feel like either his walls or his couch should have a little pattern, but I haven't decided which yet. What do you think? Wallpaper pattern? 🧱 or Fun patterned upholstery? 🛋️🌸 • #childrensbookillustration #childrensillustration #childrensauthorillustrator #authorillustrator #indieauthorillustrator #picturebook #illustration #bookillustrations #wip #workinprogress #watercolorist #watercolor #elysedeneigeart #crispinthecandycorndragon #candycorn #knitting #dragonoc #dragonbook #dragon #autumnchildrensbooks #elysedeneigebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CnzSWhCOK1e/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
