And now for something a little different...here's a bit from my Gods and Shadow Creatures universe. Apparently the Finbar character is a prostitute now? That particular development wasn't on purpose, but characters will just...do stuff. We'll have to see if that development actually sticks, though!

A little piece from the fantasy-world version of The Impulsive Rescue. Enjoy!

---------Everett stared up at the night sky. It held not a single cloud -- he and Desmond could see the stars as easily as anything. They formed twinkling patterns in the sky. Everett turned to look at Desmond -- his lover’s eyes twinkled, too, when he looked at Everett ( Read more... )

I'm probably rewriting The Church and Its Orbs. I still need to figure out the overarching plot and stuff for the world. I've been experimenting in possible canon, but I don't know how much of that will be in the next version. Anyway, here's another little experimental blurb thing. Enjoy!

More Gods and Shadow Creatures. I hope you enjoy!

---------The setting sun threw gorgeous colors across the sky, splashing it with oranges, reds, pinks and purples. Nico stopped pacing long enough to peer out the window at the beautiful display. Sighing, he shook his head. He had no right to be so agitated, just because Breccan was out on a date ( Read more... )

More The Church and Its Orbs. This scene is related to a plot development that was *very much* my characters deciding to do something without my telling them to do it. Oh, characters!

---------Someone knocks on the door as I’m pacing in Diana and Jocelyn’s guest room. My heart leaps into my throat. Since I leave for Harmony in less than a week, my ( Read more... )

“You know, some people say you shouldn’t be allowed to wear green,” Kelsey says, her deep blue eyes twinkling. I know she doesn’t care about unspoken customs, or about my no soul status. Some say I shouldn’t be allowed a green dress, as green is one of the colors of the Church. The forbidden Church ( Read more... )

More The Church and Its Orbs. This is way in the future. Also, the country name of Odisino is subject to change, but I needed a name for it since apparently my brain wanted to write when they're in another nation entirely, heh.

---------“That cloud looks like someone trying to lift an elephant that’s way too heavy,” Suzette says. Her bright blonde ( Read more... )

“Are you actually auditioning for that stupid thing?” Wren mutters, staring at Kai. She points to a piece of paper tacked to one of the school’s notice boards, scowling.

( I glance at the paper in question. )

More The Church and Its Orbs. Enjoy!

“That has to the most dramatic pure mate auction I’ve ever attended,” Diana murmurs, smiling. “People will be talking about it for years to come.”

( 'I don't relish being the subject of gossip,' I mutter, shuddering. )

More The Church and Its Orbs. Enjoy!

---------Alone, I sit on a bench under a tree in the garden behind Wren’s house. Shadows dapple the wooden and wrought iron bench, which has been deliberately designed to look older than it is. Wind tries to turn the pages of the history textbook perched on my lap -- while I was required to give all my books ( Read more... )
