Just keep me where the sun is.

Talon is awake when the dawn breaks through their window. The rays of the sun spill over rooftops, slip through their balcony, and kiss her shoulder. There in the delicate rise and fall of her collarbone, the night's shadows are chased away by the rose and orange glow, bringing warmth to her already golden skin. About ( Read more... )

I have been the worst about cleaning up and posting logs lately.  Probably because we do so much damned RP that I'd be spending almost as much time editing as writing.

But, I cleaned up some today.

Nicene & Balthasair:
Nov 24th - They go out for a Pilgrim's Bounty lunch. Nicene orders him food and he tries to eat it.

Vellum & Wikus:
Nov 27th - Velly ( Read more... )

To be aware of one’s self, flaws and strengths both, is one of those gifts that comes with age. I am intimately aware of my own, and while conventional wisdom states that you cannot teach an old dog new tricks, I am not one given to following adages. Ever do I strive to repair my flaws and temper my strengths, and from time to time, I succeed.

The inn room looks as though Talon had returned with forty cupcakes, not twenty.  The air smells so very sweet and spicy, laden with chocolate and arousal, and he is quite certain that this is not what he had anticipated when grudgingly accepting the excessively generous amount of baked goods.  They will have quite a lot of cleaning to do, but ( Read more... )

Show me what is mine
Take my finger, drag it through
What no one else will find
Take your time
I have got all night
Take your time
In the morning the sun will have its fight.

She sits at her workbench, a set of goggles with a magnifying glass installed on them covering her eyes as she examines some gear for her engineering work. The delicate parts look ( Read more... )

As comfortable as living under an illusion can be, there are some things that cannot last.  There are some words and emotions that must be shared.  I was not expecting to give in and break our promise.  At the beginning of the summer, we drank to no expectations and no commitments.

Autumn is coming to the rest of the world.  I still have no ( Read more... )

It is late when he gets off duty, later still when he reaches her inn room. She knows he is coming, and the door is unlocked. What does it say of her, that she will sleep without the safety of latches and padlocks for his sake, tonight?

Into the room he slips. She is awake, at least for a moment, verifying that he is himself and not an ( Read more... )

Just tossing up a few recent log links.

Sidoni & Llew on the Tidecutter, just chatting at first, but then a joke goes wrong and she's drowning in memories, confessing things to him about her father that she never has before.

Talon's return to Silvermoon, late at night - he heads right for Harlo, of course. And then the next morning, Harlo tells him ( Read more... )

He huddled against a rock outcropping south of the altar of Sseratus, shrouded in white and gray to blend in with the miserable landscape. Knotted yeti fur trimmed his heavy greatcloak, lined the inside of his tunic, and edged his leather boots. Washed many times, it no longer stank, but he remembered the first time he had worn them, how the ( Read more... )

"Is that for your girlfriend?"

Talon didn't even glance up from the wooden sculpture in his hand, across which he smoothed a fine-grained piece of sandpaper. "If it were, would I tell you?"

The soldier laughed and shook his head. "Not likely," he admitted. Reaching down, he picked up another one of the little sculptures sitting on the narrow table ( Read more... )
