      GREY DID NOT SO MUCH AS STEP INTO NEW WORLDS THAN FALL INTO THEM.   some misconstrued alice realm of horror in place of wonder.   caught in-between,   she failed in the crossing more often than not.   the air of limbo a familiar stench to her,   it came back with her when she returned to brighter shores.   no matter her visitations and though she may belong more to the mutated mosslands of the halfway she was only a visitor here   (   and at times a cartographer   )   to come upon a creature more umbratile than she in these dark corners of the bonewood;   well it was a feat indeed one far beyond any pedigree she had when it came to summoning enchantments.   
      the energy is palpable the way the whole of the atmosphere bends towards the presence of the looming dark figure.   fascination and fear make for a heady concoction brewing beneath her skin.   it seems a thousand eyes of the deepest ruby bear into her then yet here it is no secret what lays beyond her fair veneer.   the ripe fruit of her complexion housing flies,   yet the sweetness of rot lingered in the air.   the changeling asks not for any introduction or explanation yet it comes in palpable decree.   one which has her tilting her head to better observe the demoness.

Prelim Updates & Character List!
First, competing as a team won for all four prelim polls! Everybody's in, together! (For some reason I had a feeling the Naruto poll was a wild question, and with my practically non-existent knowledge figured Kakashi would win, but glad it's funnier this way lol)
Second, I have still neglected to organize the Portal prelims. Whoops. I'll probably figure that out today and post that tomorrow evening (5/1). Relatedly, I also realized I missed one more non-Portal prelim poll, so that'll go up at the same time (it's for Percy Jackson).

Tumblr media
About a week passed with you at the bunker. Sometimes it was awkward, especially with Dean. You generally tried to either rest or help Sam research. You still couldn't think of the name of the demon that possessed you. Not fully at least, but the letter L was getting some gears going. What you and Sam were mostly concerned about was finding a spell to summon him and get some answers. You were trying to keep an eye on your tattoo, hoping it would heal quickly. At the very least, you knew you were safe in the bunker. "Sam, how long have we been in here?" you prompted. At this point you were sharing a table in the library surrounded by spell books and demon history. Sam checked his watch. "Bout four hours. Why?" Dean had to have been asleep by now. He'd been sleeping a lot since the second trial- which he completed three days ago. "I'm sure you know as well as I do that I'm getting sick of manual control F mode. Can we just pause for a bit?" you asked. Sam shut several books after marking his place in each one. "Course. What do you want to do?" This was a pretty regular routine you'd gotten into. You would research for hours, then when you were ready to stop for the night, you'd tell Sam it was time to stop too. Sometimes you'd just go to your rooms and go to sleep, other times you'd sit and watch a movie together. This time you were tired of being tired. You wanted to go out. You wanted to take Sam up on the offer to go out and have fun at a bar. "Can I take you up on that raincheck?" you asked, hoping he would remember. He snickered and smiled, so you took it as a yes. "Let's go," he said. You followed him out to the garage where his Charger was parked and climbed into the passenger seat. "Nowhere crowded. I want a classic, low key place. Pool tables, darts, all that good stuff," you told him as he pulled out onto the main road. "I know just the place," he said happily. And you could tell he was genuinely happy. For all the shit you knew he had seen, it meant a lot that you could make him feel that way. Your night at the bar with Sam consisted of just that. He took you somewhere with pool and darts, which you engaged in upon first arriving at the bar. Then once you'd had a couple drinks, you sat down in a booth and talked, trying to keep the conversation light. After a couple more drinks, you decided to order food and get a meal in your stomach before heading back to the bunker- trying to avoid any really heavy drinking. You were somewhat tipsy, but since Sam was so much larger than you, he was fine to drive back. Your slight intoxication did make for a fun ride back of you singing classic rock songs really loudly and off-key. You could see Sam cringing, but he was also smiling and laughing at you the whole time. By the time you had arrived back at the bunker, you had sung the rest of the alcohol out of your system, but still couldn't help laughing at yourself. After Sam turned off the car, he came around to open the door for you and help you out, the gentleman that he was. "I hope you had as much fun as I did tonight," he said, the two of you still standing by the car. "I hardly ever get nights like that." You smiled. "Me neither. Just part of being a hunter. At least for me, ever since the Roadhouse." "Yeah..." Sam wasn't too surprised you were part of the Roadhouse network- almost every hunter that had been around then was. He tried not to think of the bittersweet memory of the Harvelle women. "Anyway, I'm glad I got to take you out. I mean, on the town. Just let me know if you ever want to go another time." "Yeah, I will." The two of you gazed silently at each other for a few moments before Sam started to lean down. He seemed to pause about three quarters of the way in, in case you wanted an out. But you didn't move an inch. Soon enough, his lips were on yours, and you couldn't deny that you felt real chemistry. Not quite fireworks level yet, but definitely sparks. You leaned up on your tiptoes to get closer, wrapping your arms around his neck to pull him into an embrace. It felt like something you'd always fantasized about but knew you'd never get. It was magical- well, the most magical a first kiss with someone could get. Sam placed his hands on your hips, pulling away from you after some time. His expression was dazed, but in the best way. "Maybe it's time to turn in," he murmured. "Yeah," you replied, and you couldn't help the grin on your face. "I'll, uh, walk you to your room," he said, trying to gain the normal husk in his tone back. The walk to your room was mostly quiet, but in a comfortable way. Once you reached your destination, you turned around to look at Sam. "Goodnight Sam," you told him, your lips half curled up in a smile. "Goodnight, [Y/N]," he said, and you could tell he was holding back his own smile. Just before you turned to open your door, both you and Sam leaned in at the same time to steal another quick kiss. Which became not-so-quick and lasted several seconds. You had to restrain yourself from placing your hands in his hair and holding him practically lip-hostage. You could tell he was doing the same, though. "Ok, night," you said, forcing yourself to pull away and get inside your room before too much else. Once in your room you leaned back against the door and sighed. You were kind of mad at yourself for feeling so giddy like you were in some kind of Nicolas Sparks movie. You quickly got over yourself and got ready for bed, climbing in and going to sleep as soon as you could. 
Sam's head dipped between your legs and he ran his tongue over your folds. Goddamn, that felt good. Where did he get this kind of expertise? You moaned and writhed on the bed, but suddenly he stopped. You lifted your head to look down at him, but when you did it was no longer Sam. Instead you saw Dean, smiling up at you. "What's wrong, sweetheart?" he asked. You squirmed away from him- And that's when you woke up. Alone. In your own room. At- you checked the clock on your bedside table- four in the morning. Great. No, I can't be having wet dreams about both of them, you told yourself. But if you were completely honest, you probably shouldn't even be having wet dreams about one of them. Hunting was not a life that allowed for romantic relationships. Let alone with the Winchesters. You tried to go back to sleep, but to no avail. And you knew that no matter how hard you tried, you wouldn't be able to. Not after that dream. So you got up and walked the halls of the bunker, coming upon a file room. You wondered why they would need a separate file room when they had an entire library. Being the snoopy hunter you were, you ventured inside to look around, scanning the labels on the boxes lined up on the shelves. When you reached the back of the room, the metal shelves weren't completely straight in the center, they were angled in to each other. That's odd...When you tried to pull them forward, they just settled back into their place. Instead, you pushed them, discovering that they were secret doors to some other room- you couldn't see what it was. Just pitch black. At least, it was pitch black until you stepped inside. Your motion set off the lights, illuminating the room. Not just any practical room, however. It was a dungeon. There was a devil's trap cemented into the concrete, and a chair at the very center- designed to keep someone trapped. Essentially a torture chamber for any supernatural being. You immediately turned around to leave, but couldn't get out of the circle. It was as if an invisible wall was keeping you from escaping. "No..." you said out loud. "No. No. No... SAM! DEAN!" you screamed desperately, hoping they could hear you. "SAM! DEAN!" you screamed over and over again until your voice began to weaken and you fell to the ground. Luckily, you heard footsteps running towards you. "SAM! DEAN!" you yelled one last time so they could find you. Once they entered the room and saw you, they dropped their guns. "It's not what it looks like," Sam began to say. "It's not that... I can't get out," you whimpered, beginning to cry. "He's still inside me..." At that moment, the boys knew. The demon had never let you go. He had taken a joyride in your meat suit for months, only letting you take control again when you had been locked away so long you didn't know what was going on. And you led him right to the Winchesters. Right to their safe house. Dean and Sam shared a look, not knowing what to say or do. That's when you started laughing. "You know, it was hard to find this one," your body said. But it wasn't you. It was Lido. The demon that rode you. "But as soon as I realized she had a connection to a Winchester, I knew I could actually use her. Guess I should've paid more attention- I mean, look where I am now. Point Winchester." "Which one are you?" Sam asked angrily. "The name's Lido, kid. Not that it matters. I mean I only know everything about your safe house. Got plenty of time before I'm going anywhere. Maybe I'll share it with a friend or two." "Or we could just exorcise you right now and send you back to Hell, you son of a bitch," Dean spat. "Go ahead. Try," Lido said matter-of-factly. Sam could tell Dean was about to begin running his mouth, so he placed an arm in front of him, signaling he better not. "And why wouldn't we?" Sam asked. "Well, I came across a lovely little spell. Probably nothing you'd be familiar with. It's not a bonding spell, so much as a... cuffing spell. You send me back to Hell, her soul comes with me. And I don't think you're willing to sacrifice this pretty little one for little ole me, are you boys?" Sam and Dean said nothing- they had nothing to say. "Especially not you, Dean, I mean after what happened between you and [Y/N] three years ago." No please, don't! You pleaded Lido. Your meatsuit laughed, as if to ask why he shouldn't. Please, don't, you've already tortured me enough. "What's so funny to you, huh?" Sam asked. "Can't say. She doesn't want me to," Lido said. "But nothing is stopping Dean from sharing with the rest of the class." Please, stop this, you begged from inside. "Dean, what's he talking about?" Sam asked, and you could hear in his voice that he was afraid to know the answer. "Go on Dean, tell your brother about what happened after the job you worked with [Y/N]." "I don't have to listen to you," Dean spat angrily. "Now you let her go." "Or what? You'll kill me with your demon blade? You'll kill her, too. Can't exorcise me. Nope, you don't thing she belongs in Hell. Can't torture me- you'll only be carving into this meatsuit. So what'll it be? Hm?"

Hello!
Here’s our weekly wrap up from the WRFB crew =)
Ginny’s Updates:
Hi everyone, it’s been a great week. I went to go see My Brother, My Brother, and Me, and The Adventure Zone, and I even made it to the Ren Faire! I’m getting ready for a few book clubs and I”m trying to work my way through a few things.
Currently Reading:
Love a La Mode by Stephanie Kate Strohm: This is one of the books I’m reading for a book club. It’s about two teens that get accepted into a cooking school of some kind. I’m not super feeling it, but I am laughing that it was suggested by the person in the book club who would most hate having to read this book if someone else suggested it. (She somehow didn’t realize what the book would be about)
The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson: I literally just started this so I’m not really sure what it’s about. Reading the summary it sounds like our main character is super magic and is gonna be hunted down, but so far she just got married and does not seem happy that her husband is super attractive (mostly because she’s worried she doesn’t have much to offer, obviously this will be proved wrong).
Finished Reading:
Mine to Posses by Nalini Singh: This is book 4 of the Psy-Changeling series. Probably not my favorite. Clay and Talin have a slightly strange dynamic, and I kind of felt like the personal growth for both of them had weird timings. That being said, I love the plotlines that are moving between the books. 3.5/5
Breathless by Beverly Jenkins: This is the second book in the Old West Series. I read the first book a few weeks back and really enjoyed it. I liked the two characters in this book. Portia knows what she wants and is going to make sure she gets it. Kent has been humbled in his life and also knows what he wants. I will say this book struggles a little with telling rather than showing. The last few chapters of the book covered a lot of ground but it all felt like way too much. 3.5/5
Half a King by Joe Abercrombie: I felt a little leery about this book at first but it ended up being a solid read. Yarvi was going to go into religious service (basically) and ended up becoming a king. He also somehow manages to not do that well and becomes a slave and was determined to somehow get his throne back. The story brings in a delightful cast of characters and was in generally crazy enjoyable. 4/5
Artificial Condition by Martha Wells: This is the second book of the Murderbot series and boy is it great (do we have a review for this one?). I’m trying to figure out how to write this without spoiling. Murderbot is trying to find out about something that happened in their past. Murderbot continues to have an absolutely delightful personality and I love their point of view on the world. This book did a fun job of showing some of the flaws in their thought process, while also showing how fucking good they are at certain things. 5/5
Partials by Dan Wells: Post-apocalyptic world, humans created superhumans, a virus got sent out and suddenly a bunch of humans die and infants can’t survive. Rules have been put in place so that all women of a certain age have to be pregnant and yet this isn’t treated like a huge fucking deal. A teenage girl decides she’s the one who knows how to create a cure and goes on an adventure. I feel like I’ve seen a lot of the teenager saves the world and while parts of this were pretty unique, a lot of it felt pretty rote. 3/5
The Trouble With Christmas by Amy Andrews: We received this book in return for a free and honest review. so that’s what I’ll be doing. Suzanne is an artist who is escaping to a small town to try and get her muse back. Through quirky events (read: her not having enough of a backbone to let her mother know she needed a break) she ends up fake dating the surly Rancher Jake.  Also it’s set in Christmas. Think this is basically a Hallmark movie. I’ll be writing a review.
Paused
After the Flood by Kassandra Montag: I ended up setting this one down. It’s an arc we received and honestly I’m just struggling with it. The book is really really dark and while there’s hope in it, I just found it a little too difficult to push myself into reading it. At this point you can probably guess that I read a lot. I can usually tell if I”m not feeling a book if I keep finding ways to do things that aren’t reading. Which is what happened here, so I set it down. I might pick it back up, but it needed to at least go on hold.
Linz’s Updates
Well I was TRYING to celebrate fall’s arrival but it’s 90 degrees. Climate change is REAL.
What Linz read:
Recursion by Blake Crouch: Reviewed by Ginny (https://willreadforbooze.com/2019/06/07/drunk-review-recursion-by-blake-crouch/), read by many others. A cop and a scientist try to figure out why a mysterious affliction is infecting victims with memories of lives they never lived. Total mindfuck, really enjoyed it, 4 stars.
The Last Book Party by Karen Dukess: Perfectly acceptable novel about a 25yo girl having a quarterlife crisis in the ’80s. The writing was fine, the climax and resolution were a little too pat.
War Girls by Tochi Onyebuchi: UM WOW. JFC. WOW.
Bitter Orange by Claire Fuller: Uh, summer 1969, England, Frances is hired to research a dilapidated historic property for its new owner, along with a glamorous sexy couple. But they’re not all they seem, drama ensues–look, I’m actually a little salty about reading this book because I knew it wasn’t great, I just wanted to see how it resolved, and not much was resolved so now humph.
What Linz is currently reading:
I have The Book of Lost Saints by DJ Older and A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer slated next but I only finished Bitter Orange a few hours ago and I’m pissy so I’m taking a break to work out.
Sam’s Updates
What. A. Week. I feel like I say that every week, but I had my first Tarot reading today, and it sounds like it’s going to lighten up… but maybe not. We’ll see. I also didn’t get much reading done.
What I read this week:
Steeltide by Natalie C. Parker: This is the second book in the Seafire series, which I didn’t enjoy as much as I wanted to, but THIS book. I liked this book much better than the first one, though it was still not stellar. Caledonia is a fierce leading lady and I truly love that. Drunk review coming.
The Girl From Everywhere by Heidi Heilig: This story is about a girl on a pirate ship that can travel through time. Her dad, the captain, is tryna get back to Hawaii so he can save his wife, but it may mean that our lady may cease to exist. I… was right. I am not a big fan of this author. There were a few plot holes I couldnt really get behind and while it was better than other books I’ve read by her, I won’t be continuing with the series.
What I’m currently reading:
The Name of All Things by Jenn Lyons: This is the sequel to The Ruin of Kings a demon, chosen-one story but with such flare that I don’t even care. I’m gonna tell you Book 1’s synopsis. Our main man, Kihrin, in jail, and he’s telling his life story that ended him up where he was. It’s such a well-rounded story. It’s also hysterical. This is book 2 and I’m LOVING it.
Grace and Fury by Tracy Banghart: This is a YA story about a world where women have like… zero rights. Our main character has been selected to be a “Grace” which I’m assuming is like a harem for the heir to the throne? We’ll see. Listening on audio and I’ve only just started. Linz wrote a review for this when it came out.
Wild Beauty by Anna-Marie McLemore: I’ve literally just started this because I needed something to read on my phone while I was bored. I don’t know what it’s about yet.
Minda’s Updates
Amazing weekend. I started nesting aka painting our Pixar-inspired nursery. Any must-do tips for the space?
What Minda finished:
Mrs. Everything by Jennifer Weiner – All the feels story about two completely different sisters growing up in the counterculture 50s-60s era. Civil rights, LGBTQ love story, and psychedelic drugs, and the ties of a Jewish family. Review to come! 4/5 shots
What Minda is reading now:
Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia – Reading this one for book club this month! During the Jazz Age, a Cinderella-type Woman in a small Mexican town dreams of more to her life. Then a twist of fate finds her life tied to that of the Mayan god of death and send her on adventure into the Mayan underworld to fight for her life.
On Swift Horses by Shannon Pufahl – Still haven’t actually opened it, so not sure this counts as reading. This novel is historical fiction based on a brother-in-law and sister in the American west.
  Happy Reading!
