#im soooo writer im writing

[fairiesandghosts]

To write of you is to suffer To make you as small as possible, like you were never here But still to drain every aspect of you that exists in my clenched fists To exploit you,  To harness what you created without uttering your name I am going to use you, I am going to take advantage of your actions and twist them so they no longer carry you with them And I am going to leave you So when I write I won’t remember who made the story Whose movements melded my memory The muse that bored into the back of my head and leaked out my eyes, What forced bile to bubble with my words What left tar under my fingernails  And flooded my senses with the metallic love of blood It will all be mine, And I will no longer write of you.

excerpt:

To know something is to be in constant battle with it: the plaguing of a garden, trying to disinfect a never-healing wound. Being near Austra, hands dripping with blood that never belonged to either of their bodies, means Nalkita has to fight against her own humanity, fight against desire. Close up her throat so the words I wish you would, Lieutenant don’t come out, raw and real. Kit understands so little about herself and knows Austra so much — the feeling of her expressive eyebrows against a fingertip, the weight of every responsibility she carries. Who is she to add another sandbag to Austra’s already aching shoulders but a soldier, a sinning one, at that? Refusing to give up on something that was never hers to begin with.

rambles / more about the series under the cut! :D

this was born from a fanfic/short story i wrote 2 years ago when i wasn’t ready to face what came after the events of what is now book 1 of the birthplace series. i took inspiration from novo amor’s birthplace album, which re-enlightened me about the meaning of “home”. i still hold it extremely close to my heart and will forever.

for book 1 of this, “astro-garden”, the journey kit goes on is extremely personal, quite lonely, quite difficult. titles never meant something to her until austra got one. there’s not much i can say except kit is a firecracker of a person and she’s going to need a lot of luck (she’s strong, she’ll manage)!

book 2 “roots in infertile soil” is as chaotic as i can possibly make a book. there’s more pining (for reasons...), more action, more drama... the characters are all a joy to write and flesh out, and the mercury ii crew are the type of found family that i’ve always loved to read about <3 i’ll introduce each and every one of them with tags in the near future so stay tuned for that!!! :)

book 3 is still in its early earlyyy development stages but hopefully i’ll have something cool to say about it sooner rather than later !

feel free to ask me about anything birthplace-related seeing as this is the only project i am currently (actively) working on!!! i would love love loooove to chat more about secondary characters, locations (the spaceships are Alive), discuss the plot / themes more in depth, etc!

i will be making a taglist with everyone who wants to get updates from this (i'll post more abt that later!) so send me an ask if you’d like to join it :D !

thank you for reading this (kinda long?) intro post for my silly little still unwritten novels hehe! i hope to hear more from u soon

Be honest if you saw fic and it was styled as a journal entry would you click away immediately. It's my favorite way to write- I do journals for every character I RP cause it's such a good exercise on getting in their head and just reflecting on the sessions events. I just feel like there's extreme bias against first person in the fanfic sphere so I am curious.

my terror of accidentally offending someone by praising them for something they dislike is ruining my fucking life

Haha, me trying to get ahead and start writing for Zeb Appreciation Week? It's more likely than you think ;) This is for Day One: New Beginnings

He sets down everything he owns– his bo-rifle, one that he isn't so sure he's worthy of anymore not since– a sob nearly tears itself out of his throat.
