HI HELLO I HAVE NEWS FOR Y'ALL

So we all know my book baby, Call Me Icarus. Well, he's got a face now! May I present to you the cover reveal for Δάιος, the first book in the Call Me Icarus trilogy:

For those of y'all who don't know, Δάιος is an Anti-Establisment grimdark retelling of the fall of Icarus as he looks behind the curtain of the Elysian Program and sees the disgusting framework he was disillusioned to. Now, the only thing on his mind is burning the program to the ground, but will he be able to when the world (and his body) is set against him?

OR

Are you a fan of trans men being the worst? queer people making bad decisions? blood?? Good, I've got it all right here in this book. I have a feeling y'all will love Icky baby

After a year of working on this bad boy, Δάιος is just about ready to release into the world! There have been a lot of highs and lows on this journey, a lot of winds in the road, but we are rapidly approaching our destination.

You can add Δάιος on GoodReads now! It is also available for pre-order (eBook only for now, physical copies will be available in paperback and hard cover on october 10th! both on Amazon as well as my own webbed site)

Getting to Know You Better

First of all, thank you so much to @peonierose, @queenmiarys

@dcbbw and @bebepac for the tag!!!

Second of all, I apologize for how utterly late I am in my response.

Here are my answers:

Last Song: Another Level by Oh the Larceny

Favorite color(s): blue

Currently watching: Found and Irrational (I do love the crime procedurals!)

Last movie: The Creator

Currently reading: Spare

Sweet/Spicy/Savory: Savory all the way! I don’t like spicy food generally (unless it’s cream cheese stuffed jalapenos) but I love Mexican food. My husband tells me this is an oxymoron, but I stand by it. And though I like savory food, I cannot live without my sweet tea! (That’s the Texas girl in me, Yee Haw!)

Last thing I googled: “Hell or Highwater Walkthrough” (it’s a romance club game and there is a free diamond rush event going on right now)

Current obsession(s): 1. My playlist for Insurrection. 2. historical research on King Louis the 14th and prominent members of his court, emphasis on the openly queer folks (despite it being against the law, but if you were a prince then hey). 3. LGBTQ stickers. I have them on everything…my laptop, my water bottles, the back of my car…..

Currently working on: A Valentine’s Day one-shot from The Agreement. It’s a flashback to when Riley and Drake’s marriage started to become real.

Tumblr Game: Heads Up. Seven Up.

Thank you so much for the tag, @oh-no-another-idea. I really enjoy the dialogue in your snippet.

Rules: Share the last 7 sentences you wrote.

This is from an upcoming short story that I am writing, featuring my Bianca Moore, my Nephilim character, and the Cult that is chasing her. My passion project is a huge dark fantasy that spans original and fandom content.

This is the first introduction of Bianca. I've been out of practice since I haven't really wrote anything worthwhile since last November. But I always believed that writing is like riding a bike. Your talent is always there. Just need to dust it off.

The sun sat low in the sky, as bands of oranges and reds blazed across the Heavens. A white mist slowly rolled over the hills and down into the valley, reaching out to the cars, houses, and trees like skeletal fingers seeking to squeeze the life out of the sleepy surroundings. Ever seeking the Destroyer of the Multiverse — or whatever that meant.

Bianca Moore sat in the middle of her bed and watched the scrambled lines on the blocked premium cable station, squinting to see the movie. She wanted to cover up with the itchy, beige wool blanket that was so thin that she shivered each chilly night, but the stains upon the thin material gave her pause. Who knew what caused the splotches of red and white?

From the tender age of ten, Bianca knew motels like this were not known for their stellar cleanliness.

Relentless Seduction - Official Post

Heyo y'all! So... this is a bit new, if you aren't aware, I'm a major fan of Ace Attorney and love the Wrightworth (Narumitsu, Mitsunaru) ship! In fact, I had brain-rot years ago, but was only a reader at the time. One of my friends, Momo (@axolotlsupremacyowo), is a talented Ace Attorney writer (go check her out!), so when I stumbled across the Narumitsu Day exchange a couple weeks ago, I told her about it.

So... of course, she enabled me to join with her, and here I am now. And because the stars aligned, Momo was the one my fic was for. To top it off, my perpetual vampire brainrot persisted, so here I am now! That's right, I actually wrote a Narumitsu vampire AU. And not just that - I ended up creating yet another world I'll write for again in the future. Guess things go out that way sometimes, huh? No regrets XD

...oh yeah, also, this was the other fic I did the Harlequin Romance summary thing on, alongside Flora Fati. This was a wild ride!

Title: Relentless Seduction

Author: Mizuka

Rating: Teen

Category: M/M, Gen

Word Count: 4120 words

Notes: I ended up creating another world - the Summer Night Verse

Summary: (...part of this challenge was the summary - that is below)

Unrestrained. Unrelenting. And completely unreal! When prosecutor and vampire hunter Miles Edgeworth's best friend and colleague Mia Fey goes missing one day, he’s determined to find her. Only an ominous sigil marks her disappearance - the same symbol that marked his father’s death years ago, and he will not… cannot lose Mia too. With Mia's younger sister, the spirit medium Maya Fey, and his junior colleague, Klavier Gavin, working with him, they try to find Mia in time. Unfortunately, their only lead is The Borscht Bowl - a haven for the vampire-obsessed, run by a charismatic, mysterious, handsome man... Bar owner Phoenix Wright knows that there’s more to the gorgeous visitor than the formal suits and briefcases. In fact, his protégés Apollo and Trucy are sure that the newcomers are tied to Phoenix’s closest friend and longtime regular, Franziska von Karma. As the crew dives into the seedy shadows of the mystic world, unraveling the mystery around Mia’s disappearance, Miles and Phoenix turn to each other, discovering a sizzling hunger that won’t be sated… but will their connection survive the dark truth?

Friday Monday Kiss Tag

Thanks for tagging me, @autumnalwalker! :D We'll just pretend this is Friday ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Rules: post a smooch between your OCs for Friday. It can be as light as a peck or as intense as a makeout. It can be romantic or platonic or familial. As long as a smooch takes place it’s free reign!

Here's an excerpt from Silver Glass:

Louis appears in the doorway with an uncharacteristically serious face. "Can we talk?" he says, and shuts the door without waiting for an answer. Now David feels foreboding. "What's wrong?" "My mother has taken it into her head to do some matchmaking. She's invited an American heiress." Is that all? David feels sorry for the heiress. "Poor girl. Poor you, too." Louis shakes his head. "No, not for me! She wants Lennox to marry her! And his mother wants it too!" If he had punched David in the face he could hardly have shocked him more effectively. David sinks down onto the window-seat and stares at him in a daze. Louis does his best to make things better. "I'm sure he doesn't like the girl. She isn't here yet. I bet you twenty shillings she's one of those unbearable shrill brats. She wouldn't be Lennox's type even if he was interested in women. And I saw how he looks at you." The confirmation that Alec is interested in him makes the possibility of his marriage even worse. David makes up his mind on the spot that he hates this unknown American heiress. He finds Alec out in the gardens, sitting under a tree. He's reading a letter with a grim expression. "Have you heard about the American woman?" he asks, and can't quite keep the distaste out of his voice. "Unfortunately yes," David says. He sits down beside him. Alec folds up the letter. "My mother tells me all about her here. How much money her father makes every year, how eager he is for his daughter to have a title. I don't think my mother suspects about… about me. But she wants to see me married, and my father wants me to marry money." David listens with a sinking heart. He always knew there was never any future for him and Alec. The best they could hope for was if Alec stayed a bachelor and let his "best friend" live with him. But marriage… David can't imagine Alec being happy with a woman. And he has his pride. Some men might be happy with being the secret lovers of married men. But not him. He won't share his lover with anyone. After a pause Alec seems to come to a decision. "It would be cruel to her and unfair to me. I won't marry her." "Thank God," David says without thinking. Too late he realises he's given too much away. If Alec didn't already know, then he certainly does now, and there's no way to take it back. They stare at each other. Alec's face is impassive but a storm of emotion is raging in his eyes. He reaches out. Slowly, as if he thinks David might run away, he reaches out and cups David's face in his hand. David clasps his hand over Alec's to stop him pulling away. "David," Alec whispers, and it sounds like a prayer. He leans in, and David meets him half-way, and his lips really are as soft as David had wondered.

It did not take long for Adonis to notice her stare, though he pretended he had not, simply playing with the shadows like delicate clay. Aveline knew he had spotted her lingering gaze, however, as his lips quirked. She could not look away, despite her blush, even as he finally caught her eye, nudging a squeak from her lips.

The swirling night shot towards her, curling through the air like wind, and began to spiral around her fingers, too. They painted her nails in sparkling shadow.

Her breaths caught in her throat.

Sang About in Songs: Izzy/The Crew + Calypso's Birthday Marathon Gang Bang

Okay, so, technically written for my Izzy BINGO square "face fucking" but it ended up not really focusing on that like… much at all, and also I didn't finish it in time and filled that square with a last minute playlist instead.

Summary/Excerpt:

"Ugh," Lucius complains wordlessly, but then, "Wait-" He's off to the left somewhere, no doubt doing some canoodling of his own, the fucking hypocrite, just far enough past John's shoulder that Izzy's peripheral vision can't catch him. And Izzy's not interested in looking away from the hypnotic stroke of Frenchie's fingers up and down his strings, pointless for music, so for now Lucius will stay out of his view. The boy sounds scandalized but very, very happy about it when he demands, "Hang on, was that Izzy?" "Sure was," Frenchie confirms, not looking away from Izzy either. Izzy licks his lips again, more deliberately this time. Frenchie sets aside his lute. "Feeling good, Boss?" "Could feel better," Izzy rasps.

WUPDATE: CALL ME ICARUS

Wednesday, Sept. 6th || Final Wupdate

I have some really good and really sad news y'all... this is the final wupdate for Call Me Icarus...

BUT that's only because it's done! it's being put up on shelves and I get to take a bit of a break!!! Enjoy this lil graphic about it:

What does this mean?? That means that CMI will be published soon! As y'all know, I had CMI up for pre-order on inkshares for a bit. However, I realized that Inkshares just wasn't the right fit for me. And thanks to y'all being so understanding, I was able to pull it from there and publish it on my own!

As of now, the final manuscript is with beta readers. They will make any last minute calls on it, and then I will be sending it over for publication!

I have is up for pre-order technically on Amazon, which you can find the link to Here. I am not focusing on pre-orders, as you can only set up E-Book preorders as of now. I really just have it there so that I can start making sure everything is in order!! I will still be posting a cover reveal once I have the cover in my hands, don't you guys worry!

Thank y'all for coming on this journey with me, and I cannot wait for you to meet my dysfunctional found family <3

I should also mention: I am going to be out of town starting today. For 5 days, I will not have access to any technology or internet while I am at Blue Ridge Rock Fest. That's part of why I am announcing this now, it takes a lot of pressure off my shoulders to not be able to see what happens with this post.

I also want to say that I am soso grateful to every single one of you who have followed this book from day one. We are so close to the finish line and I would not be here without all of you. You were there for every single bit of progress and every single misstep I made. I learned a lot through this process, and I know that going forward I will continue to bring y'all great stories involving Icarus and his ragtag team of queers <3

I had the craziest and most cohesive story dream I’ve ever had and I need to word vomit it somewhere so someone can feel the amount of feels I’ve been captured within since I woke up today. TW for enslavement and animal death

So, my dream starts at a boarding school. I assume these are rich kids, in various ages from about 15 to 8 or so. Also, some of them were the murdered Russian royal family but that doesn’t actually factor into the story that much.

Anyway, a civil war breaks out and the kids (for some reason idk its a dream) escape into a deep forest. In the forest, they become lost. Also in the forest is a massive wolf that may have once been a man or a minor god. The wolf comes upon these lost children, and the children are terrified, except the youngest girl. She believes she can hear the wolf speak. 

Naturally, the other children are sure she’s lost her mind after, honestly, not that long in the wilderness. It’s been only a few days. But somehow, maybe because they had no other option, she convinces everyone to follow the wolf through the forest. And he leads them to an old hunting path. And he helps them over cliffs and across rivers, and after a few days, the other kids start to hear him speak. And these kids start to change. 

At first they become just a little stronger, a little less tired, but then some are able to jump far higher than a human should, and they start to grow hair, and smell the animals around them. Their memories of being human fade. 

But the oldest boy freaks out after one of the girls eats a rabbit the wolf brought them raw, and he runs into the forest. He just so happens to escape the forest and runs to the nearest farmhouse. Unfortunately, the aging farmer sees a young strong wolf-boy and decides to enslave him. 

The rest of the children arrive at an abandoned house in the forest (this might have been the wolf’s old house when he was human). They set up a life there and continue to change. While some of them were out foraging, they find their brother, and he escapes the farmer to return with them. But he is still kinda freaked out about the whole becoming-wolf thing. The other kids start to remember they weren’t always half-wolf and this pisses the old wolf off, but before he can do anything about losing his human-wolf hybrid children, the local posse arrives with the farmer who wants his slave back, and he is also willing to enslave the other feral children out of the goodness of his heart.

The wolf fights to defend his children, and murders the whole group, but the violence and seeing a bunch of humans again has scared the kids into remembering they were not wolves. This leaves the kids trapped in the middle of the transformation, possibly forever, because they can’t go back to being human, but they can’t fully become wolves.

 Now mortally wounded, the old wolf realizes the children can never become his wolf pack, so he accepts death and dies so that they might possibly return to being human. 

And then I woke up.

Flora Fati: Fragaria Vesca - Official Post

I'm here with the first of my two fics, written for the Unconventional Courtship event, where I wrote a fic based on an M&B or Harlequin Romance novel plot... all the way down to modifying the summary! I have to say... writing in that melodramatic romance way was fun XD

(Side note - the UC's M&B/Harlequin prompt generator is amazing!)

This fic was also written for the Seven Wildflowers challenge, where I was given wildflowers to write about, whether literally or in flower meaning or similar. I requested five flowers - the first of which is the wild strawberry (hence the scientific chapter name - Fragaria vesca). I also added a final perfectly themed flower to the end for 6 chapters!

Title: Flora Fati | Chapter 1: Fragaria Vesca [Wild Strawberry]

Author: Mizuka

Rating: Explicit [Teen for this chapter]

Category: M/M

Word Count: 1573 words

Notes: You can read this without having read canon or Apricity - it's a divergence + AU that can stand alone, though I did have the Winter Light Verse's characters in mind, while writing this fic.

Summary: (...part of this challenge was the summary - that is below) A Dream… For years, Beau Swan has had recurring dreams of Florentis - of a land of flowers, of ruins, of the night, and of a mysterious, handsome man. But when evidence of his dreams begin to manifest in the real world, Beau is caught up in feelings of love, desire, and circumstances that began many centuries before he was born.

A Journey… For years, Beau Swan has felt increasingly out of place in Florida - from his mother Renee, his stepfather Phil, his newborn twin brothers, and his mundane life. With the visit of a red-eyed raven and the wistful voice of that man, Carlisle, calling to him, Beau sets out for Florentis - even if it means leaving his life behind!

A Memory… For years, Beau and Carlisle met beneath the moonlight every night, fated to grow closer to each other, fall passionately in love, and eventually reunite someday, in that ethereal land of flowers. But as memories flash by and Beau solves the mystery, will they find their happily ever after - or will they be separated for good?

Find the Vibe Tag

Thanks for tagging me, @mrbexwrites! :D

My vibe: "well, that could have been worse!". I couldn't find an excerpt that fit it, so this scene from Silver Glass is the closest I've got:

Davit went straight to his room after they returned home. Alec hadn't said a word to him on the journey. He didn't try to stop him. When he had planned to murder Gwladys he had never considered two things: actually committing the murder, and what happened after. He hadn't thought about how it felt to kill someone. He hadn't thought how Alec would react if he found out. Davit threw himself down on the bed and cried himself to sleep. He woke slowly. His head rested on something warm. Someone was stroking his hair. For a confusing moment he thought he was a child again and his mother was comforting him after a nightmare. Two realisations struck him in quick succession. One, his head was resting on someone's chest. Two, his head was resting on Alec's chest. Davit started up, then stopped. He met Alec's eyes. It was evening and the sun had set, so the remaining light gave everything a blue hue. Even so, he could tell that Alec wasn't looking at him with anger or disgust. Quite the opposite. "I've been thinking," Alec said calmly. Davit lay down again. He didn't think he could bear to look Alec in the face for this conversation. He laid his head on Alec's chest and listened to his heartbeat. Alec resumed stroking his hair. It was… nice. Gentle. Not at all what he should do to someone he knew was a murderer. What was going on here? Maybe Alec could forgive him, but Davit couldn't imagine him being willing to resume their relationship. Alec continued, "You of all people know how much I hated Gwladys." That was an odd beginning. Davit waited to hear where this was going. "She blackmailed me, she tormented me, she… Well, you know all about it. It sounds horrible but I'm glad she's dead. I can't even say I'm sorry she was murdered. All I regret is that you killed her." Davit tensed. Now for it: some variation on I want you to leave. Alec's breath hitched. Davit felt his heartbeat speed up. "Davit, do you understand? I'm sorry you killed her because… I don't know how to say it. I'm sorry for the effect it's had on you. If I could change the past I would stop you killing her to save you, not her." Were his ears playing tricks on him? Was Alec, Alec of all people, really saying what it sounded like he was saying? "But how can you…" Davit trailed off. He tried again. "Murder is illegal. And forbidden in the Bible." "I know." Alec's hand stilled. His fingers were still twined in Davit's hair. He was silent for a while. Davit waited with bated breath. He told himself not to hope, but hoped anyway. "I don't think this counts as murder. She would have killed me. That makes it… different." "Can you forgive me?" Davit whispered. "I have nothing to forgive, and Gwladys isn't here. We can travel. Go to Armenia, like you wanted to. Forget her. Forget all of this. And… recover. From what she did to both of us." Davit raised his head. He stared Alec in the eye. Even in the fading light he could see that Alec, impossible though it seemed, meant what he said. "All right," he said. Alec smiled at him. Davit smiled back. For the first time in months he began to think everything really would be all right.
