THIS BLOG IS NOW ARCHIVED

THANK YOU ✌🏼

I just want to thank everyone here for being on this wonderful journey with me. I've loved writing y'all, I've made some wonderful friends and had a great time.

But now it's time for a change. I'm moving to a smaller extremely selective blog. I've been super fortunate make a fantastic group of close friends who's plotting and writing styles work really well with mine. I'm going to mainly be focusing on writing with them.

I'll slowly be following people from my new blog, so look out for me there. Most of my threads will be dropped, but I'll let you know of I'm keeping any.

To everyone I'm parting ways with, I wish you nothing but the the best.💙

ミ✉️ @sevynhells 𝙎𝙀𝙉𝙏   jesus  , you didn't tell me you were dangerous. (from asha greyjoy to daenerys targaryen!!)

                    Daenerys couldn't help the smile came to her lips ,       ❝   Did the three dragons not clue you in to that ?   ❞       As if it were just the dragons that made her dangerous.       ❝   You are nothing to scoff at either ,   ❞       she replied , tongue licking her dry lips. She was used to the dry air of the desert but the salt from the sea.       ❝   But I can tell many have...to their own doom , I assume ?   ❞       The Iron Born was impressive...intriguing. Daenerys wanted to know more.

ミ✉️ @entriprises 𝙎𝙀𝙉𝙏     ❝   What's it take to bring you home ?   ❞ to tommy from buck 

                    It was a fair question to ask , but it makes Tommy clench his jaw and take a long sip of his beer before answering. Evan was a bartender , he had seen people pair off night after night. Friends , strangers , regulars. But never him. At the end of every night he settled his tab , signed the receipt , Thomas Kinard , and headed home alone. He hadn't so much as had a drunken kiss , not at this bar at least ...

                    He shrugged ,       ❝   just haven't found the right person.   ❞       That wasn't entirely true. He had someone he was interested in , he was looking right at him. Tommy just wasn't sure that Evan was interested in men , let alone him.

𝐊𝐀𝐓𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐒 𝐇𝐀𝐃𝐍'𝐓 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐃, but it certianly wasn't a bad thing. she had been cooped up in the house most of the morning, feeling like her skin was slowly melting off with how hot it had gotten inside the house. no amount of open windows, of fans, of something cold to drink seemed to be enough. so, she decided to take a walk. &, as usual, her walks usually ended up with her going to visit peeta while he worked at the bakery in town. opening the door with a smile on her face, a greeting, a kiss that lead into something entirely different. she could see it when he looked at her, wearing one of the few sundresses he seemed to like so much.

@devilsnare said, CLOTHED. TO MAKE MY MUSE COME WHILE FULLY CLOTHED.

it amused her how quickly he closed the bakery for 'lunch' or the way he grabbed her wrist, dragging her into the office & shutting the door behind him. it's how she ended up with her body almost unceremoniously bent over the office desk. grinning to herself, completely on board, as peeta's calloused hands were quick to push the fabric of her sundress, a paled yellow color, up & over her hips. it wasn't unusual for him to be the one in control when he felt he wanted it that way & ever time it made katniss's cheeks turn red. her made butterflies nest in her stomach. she couldn't help it that she found assertive peeta as attractive as submissive peeta. it hadn't taken long either for him to press inside, to have sighs leaving her lips. teeth biting down onto her bottom lip to try to muffle herself, palms flat against worn wood. ❛ peeta, ❜ katniss groans at another harsh thrust of hips. again, again, ❛ fuck. ❜

[devilsnare-archive]

                     District Twelve was having a run of hot dry summer days. Peeta would leave the house early , earlier than usual , work in the bakery. The ovens couldn't be on while the sun was high in the sky. He felt like he hadn't seen Katniss in days. The sight of her in anything at all would have brought a bright smile to his face. But today she came by in a dress. A yellow sundress not too far off in color from his hair. It looked beautiful against her tan skin and dark hair. The waves and folds of fabric clung to every curve.

                     His jaw dropped and he stood behind the bakery counter panting , mostly from the heat and exhaustion , sweat dripping from his brow. But he had gone through a great effort to conceal how tired he was from the heat , greeting every customer with a smile and wiping away his sweat. When Katniss walked in he dropped all the pleasantries. He closed the bakery for lunch and pulled Katniss into his office.

                     His mouth was all over her. Lips , neck , shoulder. Hands shoved up the skirt of the dress so he could slip in. He just needed her. Fuck it had been so long. He pulled off his shirt and tossed it to the side.       ❝   Katniss ,   ❞       he moaned in her ear as he slid in and out of her. One hand on her hips , the other reached up through the front of her dress to palm and squeeze her breasts. He picked up speed with hips , faster and harder.       ❝   hmp , hmp , hmp   ❞       he huffed as he continued to slam them against the old wooden desk. 

[devilsnare-archive]

                     Red makes its way onto Eddie's round cheeks. A bashful blush even though he was the one that started it. Was he flirting ? Maybe ... yes.       ❝   At the very least I am stating the truth ,   ❞       he tries to play it off cool and bites his lip. Is it working ? He's less worried about the flirting part and more worried about not making a complete and utter fool of himself.    ❝   But seriously , you do look good today. Family in town or a date or something ?   ❞

Her constant focus on her friends was pitiful, when in the end even those always came over her, betrayed her. In that points, Kai was better than her, in many others, too of course. He was not one to self pity and Bonnie, on the other hand, well– she was just like his littlest sister. Always the hero. Did history not teach her what happened to heroes? Why they were called heroes to begin with? 

"Coven. God, Bon," corrected Kai with a snarl, almost unable to comprehend her words to the fullest, even now the desperation clung to her lips like a sticky lipgloss, failing to be entirely wiped. His lips parted into a grin as he stares cross the table. He did not have to be a siphon to feel Bonnie’s breath come out in sharp busts, her hands clenching like she would spring at him.

Perhaps he hoped that he would. Then he’d have an excuse to touch her again and set her body ablaze from the inside.

"They were my coven, not my family. I thought we talked about that. Families are supposed to love you and not declare you a monster before you could even pronounce that word. Shouldn’t especially you know the difference?" He clicks his tongue in disappointment, his head slowly swinging from side to side. "You know with you sacrificing everything for everyone and you? Nobody ever helps you because you are just as insignificant and powerless as they make you out to be."

[devilsnare-archive]

                    There's a part of her that feels for him. Pities him. Understands him or at least wants to. What must it have been like ? To be labeled a monster as only a child... On some level she can relate to people's judgment , people came to their conclusions about her before she even opened her mouth. All it took was on look and they had already made up their mind . But her family , the people who loved her most , always defended her. Kai's family had turned their back on him.

                    Could things have been different ? Could he have gone down a different path? Her train of thought was interrupted. His last sentence cut deep. Kai's words opened a floodgate of fear and she stumbled backwards. All the confidence she previously had washed away. Damon wasn't coming for her. Even if he wanted to , how would he get back to her ?

                    No one was going to come for her. She was stuck in this prison with Kai until he inevitably killed her.       ❝   I'm not ,   ❞       Bonnie said with a voice and tears in eyes. She felt so small as he towered over her.       ❝   I'm not ,   ❞       he repeated , unsure of what to say next to him. There was nothing to say. He had won this round and she was completely at his mercy.

@devilsnare gets a starter !

Effie stands on the roof of the training center. If it weren't for the copious amount of product maintaining the curly pink wig's carefully crafted shape, the wind would have tousled its curls long ago. Tonight, she is not here to seek a moment of solitude or talk strategy with Haymitch. She's here to meet Peeta, her victor.

Fake eyelashes flutter against rouged cheeks. One of her victors, she corrects in her mind. And he'll be here any minute. "Eyes bright. Chin up. Smile on."

She re-opens her eyes, glancing out at the bright lights of the Capitol. A well-practiced smile appears as if by magic. She listens for his footfalls coming up the stairs.

The door opens, and Effie Trinket, District 12 escort, turns on pink stilettos. "Peeta! Isn't the view simply marvelous?"

[devilsnare-archive]

                    Effie, Peeta thought he'd never see her again. Her wigs and lashes bring smile to face, a genuine one not one forced for cameras. They look the same, but he knows the difference. He walks out to her slowly with the help of his crutches. Later on, for interviews he'll be given a cane and he can put only a little weight on his new leg, for now he was moving without the prosthetic — to give the wound some time to breathe.

                    ❝   Effie ,   ❞       he calls out to her.       ❝   It is , ❞       Peeta says, but the skyline isn't the view he's talking about. She is. She believed in them, in him and Katniss from the very beginning and never gave up. She believed in him more than his own mother did.

                    ❝   Thank you, really Effie, thank you. You and Haymitch got us out there.   ❞       He looks up at her with those same big brown eyes. Eyes that have now seen so much. Eyes that will soon mirror Haymitch's, the sleepless nights and haunted dreams. But for now, here in the Capital with their drugs and fluids hooked up in arms, he can rest peacefully.       ❝   Speaking of which  …  Katniss, have you seen her ? I haven't since they took us out of the arena.   ❞

@devilsnare // ❛ you’re not a very convincing liar. ❜ — tommy kinard

"i'm really not, am i?" there's a sheepish laugh as he drops down on the sofa beside tommy, offering over one of the bottles of beer he brought from the kitchen.

"i think the problem is, i just don't think well on my feet, you know? someone asks me a question and i start to get all nervous and sweaty. so i end up saying something really really stupid."

he takes a pull from the bottle and shifts to turn a bit more toward him. "which you got to witness on our very first date."

[devilsnare-archive]

                    Tommy smiled back up at Evan and grabbed some of the beers.       ❝   No, you're really not.   ❞       For someone who came up with so many schemes, he struggled to lie with a straight face. Words jumbled together. He tripped over himself time after time.       ❝   You really should just let Hen and Chimney do most of the talking.   ❞       Those two were ridiculously good, he had to admit.

                    He took a swig sip from his own bottle,       ❝   It is cute though. Watching you try to find your way out of the mess.   ❞       He took another sip.       ❝   At least I don't have to worry about you lying to me.   ❞

ミ✉️  @arachnidiots 𝙎𝙀𝙉𝙏 ❝   we're like field trip buddies. but if the field trip got set on fire.   ❞ to ravi from liam

                     Ravi added,       ❝   and like they ran out of seats on the school bus.   ❞       All too frequently the two got stuck between Buck and Eddie who never seemed to know that not every day in the gym needed to be arm day. Seriously, they just kept getting bigger and bigger. It would be more impressive if it didn't mean so little room was left in the engine for Liam and Ravi.

ミ✉️ @ironf0rged 𝙎𝙀𝙉𝙏  ❛ you’re lucky you got away with only a scratch. ❜  ( from aemond to aenora )  

                    Aenora had inherited all of her father's temper but none of his ability to compose himself. The result was a dangerous child who routinely got themselves into precarious situations.       ❝   I had it handled,   ❞       she spat back,       ❝   I would have figured it out if you would have let me.   ❞       Deep down in her heart, when the smoke cleared, and breathing steadied , she would be able to see that he acted out of love but right now ... She felt like he didn't believe in her. Like he never believed in her. Like he didn't think she could fight or fly despite her hours of training and lessons. 

[devilsnare-archive]

ミ✉️  @sevynhells  𝙎𝙀𝙉𝙏   come do something stupid with me before you go. (from lyanna stark to brandon stark!!)  

                    Upon hearing the words , a large wolfish grin was quick to appear on elder stark's face. Something stupid was he always wanted to do. He looked up from the sword he was polishing and said       ❝   Do you have anything in mind ?   ❞       The Valyrian steel sat heavy in his lap. It was Ice , the Stark family sword that would one day be his. It never needed to be sharpened but he liked to keep it polished , so that every detail glittered in the sun.

                    ❝   You always have something ?   ❞       It was Ned who was different from the three of them , perhaps because he was raised in the Vale by Jon Arryn and not as a wild northern. 

[devilsnare-archive]

ミ✉️ @winterreigned 𝙎𝙀𝙉𝙏  l will serve you , like my father served your father. (for joffrey) 

                    It was an odd statement once all things were considered. Her father was killed for aiding in his own fathers death. Killed by his order. Joffrey licked his lips ,       ❝   You mean you will betray me like your father betrayed my father. Good to know.   ❞       He understood why they had to keep Sansa here , her brothers were still too much a threat. They needed her as a hostage. He just wished they could keep her as one somewhere else , away from him. He was tired of her. He had grown tired of her long before he became King.

[devilsnare-archive]

ミ✉️ @arachnidiots 𝙎𝙀𝙉𝙏 ❝   i come bearing apology beer .   ❞ to eddie from liam 

                    Eddie perked up at the words but he knew that he should be the one apologizing. It had been him with a short temper all shift. His criticisms and comments , while valid , could have been made in a better manner.

                    His eyes drifted from beer and then to Liam.       ❝   No , no ... I should be the one apologizing. I've been the one being ass all shift.   ❞       He looked used at them with his tired brown eyes ,       ❝   I'm sorry.   ❞ 

[devilsnare-archive]

ミ✉️ @ironf0rged 𝙎𝙀𝙉𝙏 ❛ i don’t have time for distractions right now. ❜ ( from jacaerys to cregan )

                    Cregan sighed , he did not mean to speak out of turn , only to advise the prince. He only wished to help a friend someone he cared for deeply.       ❝   My prince ,   ❞       he used his title this time instead of his name ,       ❝   I would hardly call a good night's rest a distraction.   ❞       The Lord's voice was soft yet authoritative.       ❝   You will need a clear mind for planning and battle.   ❞       Or as clear as the Jace could get , he knew he was still grieving his brother. That was a loss he knew he would never get over. Him and Jacaerys had the same wounds , a father and brother lost.       ❝   Please , get some rest. Even if it is just a few hours.   ❞

[heartsbreaking-migrated]

sabrina sighed and shook her head. she'd only heard about him fighting the first time and really she didn't even know where one found a underground fights if that were the kind of thing they were into. at least she knew what kind of injuries she was looking at. she leaned away from the inclination to judge him for putting himself in harm's way. she'd never been particularly good with bedside manner, but she was trying for him. "why? what do you get out of it?"

she leaned in to start cleaning the open wounds on his face and torso, the smell of alcohol in the air between them. she tried to remember what had driven him to fighting last time, but sabrina wasn't sure anyone had told her. maybe that was too personal to share before?

[devilsnare-archive]

          WHY  THIS  TIME  OR  WHY  BEFORE?  Either  way  the  answer  was  the  same,  even  if  he  didn't  know  it.  Loss.  Anger.  And  his  lack  of  ability  to  verbalize  those  concepts.  Or  maybe  it  was  just  that  talking  about  it  never  felt  as  good  as  hitting  something  or  someone.  And  the  extra  cash,  well  that  just  was  just  a  nice  bonus.  And  when  he  was  battered  and  bruised,  he  could  just  tell  himself  that's  why  he  was  in  pain.

          He  opts  to  tell  her  an  easier  answer.  Still  the  truth,  but  it  requires  less  vulnerability.  ❝ The  come  down  from  the  job  has  always  been  a  rough  one.  When  you  spent  your  day  on  an  adrenaline  high,  normal  was  jaded,  dull,  wrong  ... ❞  Eddie  does  his  best  to  keep  still  as  she  cleans  him  up.  ❝ Fighting  keeps  the  blood  pumping  and  you  on  your  toes. ❞  At  least  before  he  had  Christopher.  He  had  someone  to  come  home  to,  come  down  for.  Someone  that  he  needed  to  keep  his  head  on  straight  for. 

[jac4erys]

winterfell   was   cold.      too   cold   for   jacaerys’   liking,   in   fact.      the   wind   blew   over   the   land,   between   the   slender   trees   of   the   wolfswood,   from   the   north.      from   beyond   the   wall.      it   prickled   at   his   skin,   shook   his   curls,   made   him   wonder   what   was   beyond   the   great   barrier   that   protected   them   all.      a   man’s   voice   pulled   him   out   of   his   musings.      an   invitation.

the   fire   was   warm   as   jace   walked   over,   sitting   by   the   fire,   not   too   far   from   cregan.      the   wolf   was   right,   the   northern   nights   were   cold,   too   cold,   and   he   was   made   of   fire.      how   would   vermax   handle   it ?      the   same   way   as   he   did,   probably.   thinking   of   home   and   the   duty   he   had   in   the   south.

@devilsnare “  come share my fire, the night is cold. ” by CREGAN STARK.

brown   eyes   are   lit   like   wood   by   the   fire,   and   he   swallows   the   flames   whole   with   his   gaze.         “    thank   you,   lord   stark.    ”         the   boy   of   skies   and   fire   turns   his   gaze,      soft   smile   and   a   nod to the lord of the north.

[devilsnare-archive]

                    The cold air was unforgiving , even more so at night without the sun to bring some warmth. Both the prince and his dragon were struggling to acclimate.       ❝   You will get used to it ,   ❞       he reassured the prince and handed him a warm cup cider ,       ❝   this will help.   ❞       The two men sat side by side before the fire. Cregan's head turned to the side as he watched his direwolf emerge from the woods , a kill in its mouth. The large wolf who usually headed right for the lord instead turned towards the dragon Vermax , and laid the animal before it. A gift.       ❝   Look ,   ❞       he guided Jace's attention over the pair ,       ❝   it seems they're getting along too.   ❞       And they should , he thinks , their animals are extensions of themselves. but it still warmed his heart to see.

                    It hurts to see Jace in pain , the worry across his face , the darkness under his eyes from sleepless nights , and shivers from the cold. He wants to help.       ❝   Are you still cold?   ❞       Cregan asked , tugging at the string of his own cloak. He wrapped the fur around himself and the Velaryon , using it as an excuse to keep his arm around the boy.

❛   okay , you know what ? that just felt a little hostile &* unnecessarily mean , @devilsnare. seriously , what crawled up your ass &* died today ? ❜

[devilsnare-archive]

                    ❝   WHAT CRAWLED UP MY ASS AND DIED ? All of us. Multiple times.   ❞       Five spat back with gnarled teeth. He was tired of watching his family die over and over and over again. finding them all like once was bad enough , the image replying in mind for decades. But then this past week , if he could even call it that , they had all jumped back and forth in time so many times ... He had seen them die over and over and over again.       ❝   You will have to forgive my poor attitude , brother. I am trying to save the world and all of us.   ❞
