[killugonficlibrary]

all the pretty lights by blueberryberet ( M | 47,633+ | 12/16 )

Killua is a rockstar with some… messy habits. That’s how he tells it to his sister when she calls, the reality of it is a lot more destructive.

Except now she’s not calling, she’s in his hotel room writing on his arm cast (no, he doesn’t remember how he broke it) and demanding to join him and his band for their cross-country tour. He can’t send her home for obvious reasons. He needs someone to keep an eye on her, or more accurately, keep her eyes off the disaster that is his life.

And when his band manager Bisky says she knows the perfect person he thinks that maybe, he’s finally got lucky, and maybe it will all be fine.

Except things are never, ever, fine with him.

WIP WEDNESDAY

Posted, as is tradition, on Thursday in Australia because I’m terrible but @rbkzz cracked the whip to post my WIP.

So, sneak peak from Ch 19 of On The Rocks:

I fumble with my phone, dialling his number with my heart in my throat.

It doesn’t even ring. Just straight to voicemail - his dulcet, resonant voice saying “You have reached Basilton Grimm-Pitch. Please leave a concise message.” His precise, RP becomes clipped and forceful on the word ‘concise’ and if I weren’t so terrified I’d laugh at the grumpy git.

Instead I immediately, stupidly, re-dial. And then again. And again. Ten more times. (I remember some probably bollocks Einstein quote about insanity being doing the same shit over and over and expecting different outcomes, and it’s not lost on me that I’m literally in the fucking nut house doing exactly that.)

Six Sentence Sunday

I'm working on a new fic! Snowbaz in their mid thirties, Normal AU, small town. Parent!Simon because it's my favourite thing to write about ever. Something cute and cozy <3. I'm very excited about it!

Baz

When I moved here, I told myself I would need to find three places:

A library

A corner shop owned by North African people

A coffee shop

It’s what I need to function. Somewhere to read books, somewhere to buy ingredients to make foods that taste like my childhood, and somewhere to work at with a hot drink.

The library was the easiest to locate. I found it on Google Maps before I even moved in, in fact, but I was happy to go take a look around when I arrived. It’s only a twenty-minute walk from my place.

Everything is within walking distance here. It’s a kind of small pleasure I have missed in London.

wip wednesday

...on a wednesday, even! Now that Arlathan eXchange is wrapped up, I've had a bit of time to work on things that can be shared publicly again, and I'm indulging myself by sharing two little snippets today (:

tags for @shivunin | @flowersforthemachines | @larkinna | @ttrevelyan | @tulipathy | @greypetrel and you 🫵 if you have something to share!

first, a bit from the post-canon rookanis-teiago-divorce-crow-civil-war-vanthi/teia fic (dear GOD I need a shorter name for this) that I've finally moved from just rotating to actually writing! I am so intimidated by scope and politics but I am doing it 😤

She’s familiar with the former First Talon’s language, the euphemisms she uses to dance around the parts of her grandson that she views as unsavory. It is one of the many points on which they disagreed: you cannot know a thing, cannot balance it or resolve it, unless you call it as it is. But even Caterina struggles to paint a pretty coat over this report. Which Vanthi probably could have surmised; things must be dire for her to admit to needing the assistance of anyone outside of the Crows. She can parse the message: Lucanis is spiraling. Stress, or grief, or self-flagellation—the cause matters less to Caterina than the result. Spite takes control more often. Their tenuous harmony, shattered without Vanthi there to smooth the rough edges their joining still digs into them both. His wings, just a shade to the left of Treviso’s purple lanterns, glitter in the sky at all hours of the night, a reminder to every Crow that, while the immediate danger has passed, all is not right with their First Talon. Fix him, Caterina writes, and Vanthi’s teeth click together, the thick parchment bending beneath her ire. Or at least watch. Ensure he does no greater harm. “She does not want a Watcher,” Vanthi grumbles. “She wants a leash.” “Most people do,” Myrna agrees. “Is it not our job to ensure they get what they need, rather than what they think they want?”

(divider credit) And below the cut, a bit of Lucanis & Illario silliness from a new AU (:

some unnecessary context: I was watching food network reruns last night, and one of the competitors said "two days before I opened my restaurant, a woman walked in off the street looking for a job. 10 years later, she's my wife." And my brain, like a predictable, overexcited puppy, went Rookanis AU? Rookanis AU???

So here's a snip of what I wrote of that, on a whim (:

Perhaps, Illario thinks, the news sheets wouldn't assign his cousin half as much mystique if they saw him now. Folding napkins. And unfolding them, and refolding them in a different way. For the third time so far this morning. "Cousin," he tries again. "Surely there's something else to be working on besides the place settings?" "No." Lucanis tucks a corner of the rich fabric beneath itself, holding an elaborate twist in place. "The menu is set, walk-in and bar are stocked, reservations organized. Fiddling with any of that will do more harm than good." "But the matter of napkin folding requires your personal attention?" Lucanis sets the new configuration atop the plate and tilts his head, considering. Then he picks it up, shakes it out, and begins again. "You do not have to stay. I told you there would be nothing for you here—you are the one who insisted." "This is perhaps the final night you will have free, cousin," Illario cajoles. "Would it kill you to spend it on something fun? You remember fun, don't you? That thing we used to have?"

WIPs Wednesday

Hey hey, everybody! I thought I'd start the year off right with a wipsday post. I hope you're all having a great day, and a happy New Year!

I know I've posted like a million wips that I haven't actually finished, but alas, I must chase the whimsy. I was possessed with the vision of supermodels Agatha and Baz fake dating. This story will be told entirely through tabloid articles, listicles, twitter threads, and text messages. I've never written anything like this, but I'm already having SO much fun with it. So that being said, here's the first snippet I'm sharing!

A Star-Studded Red Carpet By Ryan Beckett Onlookers were awed at the red carpet release of In This Moment when everyone’s favorite supermodel lovers made an appearance! Agatha Welbelove stepped onto the red carpet in a stunning floor-length gown, featuring over 50,000 Swarovski crystals. When asked, designer Swami Patel claimed she’s “always envisioned Agatha in lavender and dripping with crystals.” When Welbelove reached out looking for a dress, Patel jumped at the opportunity.   Welbelove’s world-famous beau, Basilton Pitch, was also in attendance. He stepped out in a custom deep purple Saint Laurent tuxedo adorned with a thrilling burst of flowers emerging from his hips. With all shades of purple and lavender, he perfectly matched Agatha Welbelove. The two have been seen together more and more lately, further inciting the rumors that the childhood friends are now lovers.  At the afterparty, sources say that Pitch and Welbelove were inseparable. Agatha was also quietly sporting a diamond bracelet from Greenwich St. Jewelers, fueling further speculation that the couple might have wedding bells on the horizon.

@rimeswithpurple for the tags.

From my 2023 COTTA, Snow Fox:

A new voice, one that makes my spine itch, comes from the shadows under the porch. Tarleton. “They can’t have gone far,” he snarls. “Mount up, gather the men. Set off in each cardinal direction and run through the night if you have to. Such a large party would have had to leave a trace!”

Penny’s hand creeps over and squeezes mine as we watch every man jack of them run to gather their things and mount their horses. Within minutes, the Bunce homestead is empty of anyone but us. Tarleton is the last to go, riding his grey gelding towards Charleston harbor and the British base there. Probably to report this latest outrage perpetrated by the Snow Fox.

 From CORB #1, Baby Mine with @argumentativeantitheticalg

He rolls his eyes at me, and then says, “come, help me with dinner. You can start boiling the water for the rice. I’ll chop the vegetables, since I’ve got both hands free.”

It takes some juggling, but I manage to do as Baz asks. Then he takes Abigail and directs me to debone the chicken (probably didn’t want to get his pretty hands dirty) (I don’t mind—I like his hands as they are). 

Abigail watches this all with big eyes and one tiny thumb pressed between her lips. It’s very cute. 

From CORB #2: The Stoves Come On At Night, with @ebbpettier

For the rest of the time I’m not patrolling or sleeping, I’m exploring the house and grounds. I’m doing my best to make myself a home here. With luck, this will be my home for the next several years. 

Winter is coming on fast. I try to ignore the persistent chill in the air during my night patrols. I deal with it by keeping the fire lit in my bedroom and wrapping up warmly before leaving the house. 

If sometimes the chill is more due to the lonely emptiness of the house, I pretend that it’s not.

wip wednesday

...yeah i am well aware we are now three years since i promised part 2 and 3 or whistle sweetly... shudup

anyway here's caleb's unusual methods for figuring out how to court his man in whistle sweetly part 2

The cover of one of those books had a disturbingly familiar ginger haired human, shirt billowing and muscles displayed prominently holding a fainting delicate drow in his arms. It was apparently a newer publication that suggested the peace accord had had an unexpected effect on the local populace's tastes in erotic novels. Caleb was studiously ignoring the potential likeness, it was better for his sanity. He would neither confirm nor deny that that was the first book he read.

i'd like to point out this was supposed to be a small fic, its currently clocking in at a little over 10k and still going, send help

WIP Wednesday

What’s this? WIP Wednesday actually on Wednesday? (For me anyway. Australia - we’re in the future!)

Sneak peek from Chapter 20 of On The Rocks from Penny’s POV.

“Hello?”

“PEN!” Simon shouts down the line. “Fuck, s’ry for yelling. D’you get my message? You found him? Where’re you? ‘S’he alright?”

Simon sounds simultaneously frantic and slurred, which makes my stomach sink. “Si, where are you? What’s going on? You didn’t give me much to go on!”

“I gave you ‘n address! ‘M on my way to Chelsea t’meet you.”

“We’re at the British Library, Si, it’s a long story.”

“He wanted t’go t’the library?”

“Who?”

“BAZ! Why’d he wanna go t’the library?”

“We’re not with Baz. We couldn’t find him. We’re looking for him.” I say.

The air seems to still and go heavy.

[philaet0s]

I have been crying continuously for like five minutes writing a scene for my current WIP and then I thought... girl, you said this would be a sweet, fluffy story. Why are you doing that?

I can't help it. Angst calls to me. How am I supposed to write a decent fanfiction if Baz Pitch doesn't suffer a little in it anyway

[alexalexinii]

WIP Wednesday

Yes, it is Wednesday here.

Long time no see (once again). Work has devoured me. I’m also preparing for a con that is rapidly approaching!! It’s my first big con so I want to have plenty of art to show! Here are some of the wips for those ones:

I’m also planning stuff for my birthday thats this Sunday! (So that’s another thing that’s devoured me)

As for Carry On stuff, I am working slowly making my way through my COBB! It’s been fun to collaborate with [redacted] so far! I can’t wait to share the fic with you guys 👀 I also have many ideas for my COAR but they are just ideas for now lolol.
