✦ OUR VIOLENT DELIGHTS - A WIP INTRO.

WARNINGS — mentions of murder, death, violence, alcohol, smoking 

GENRES — dark academia, coming of age, mystery/thriller 

THEMES — ambition, identity, power, found family, loyalty, gay yearning

REPRESENTATION — poc, wlw, mlm, lgbtqa+, gender identities, disability, mental health 

POINT OF VIEW — multiple pov, 3rd person

STATUS —

 fully planned, ready to start draft 1

✦ SYNOPSIS

VERITAS LIBERABIT VOS 

Eight friends, one dead, all of them suspicious. 

Founded in 1821, Clearwater Academy, named after Sir Edward Clearwater a renounced academic, has housed many aspiring scholars. The academy prided itself in its pursuit for knowledge and discipline and carried that legacy to where our story begins, 200 years later. 

Seven outsiders are lured into a secret society they didn't want to be in by the ever charming James Montgomery. Friendships are built and a connection is shared between the friends. All felt out of place in the academy and all have found it again with the people they now see as their family... Or have they? 

Secrets, lies, deceit interwoven in the past and present tells the story of these outcasts brought together by the same person who has now been found floating in the lake. Follow them as they try to discover what happened to James Montgomery and most importantly, who killed him?

✦ CHARACTERS

James Montgomery — The Leader 

Charismatic James Montgomery is the perfect example of what money and being attractive will get you in life. He sees his academic achievements as his entire personality and bases others off them as well. James might be able to wind everyone around his finger but it does not make him a nice person. 

Sage Winter — The Hero 

Sage Winter could be described as the perfect student; always on time, does her homework way in advance, excels in every course she takes. But nothing comes without a price. The sacrifices she makes aren't even for herself but to distract her family from the fact that she likes women a little too much and has no interest in men. 

Wren Hawthorne — The Sidekick 

Wren Hawthorne is the one always a step behind. Always persistent but never in the spotlight. They're not sure if they would even like it there. Wren is the person everyone leans on for support without giving it back and yet they never complain. 

Camilla McCoy — The Femme Fatale 

Camilla McCoy is the temptress of the group, the one to seduce her way into getting what she wants. She is the fearless one, always ready to fight for the others, no matter the cost. 

Francis Vos —The Cursed Lover 

Francis Vos is shy and quiet yet fiercely protective. He is content with the comfortable, never going out of his shell to take what he really wants. 

Lucas Spencer — The Innocent 

Lucas Spencer is the sweet one, always ready to cheer everyone up who needs it. He puts up a happy face despite maybe not feeling it in that moment. As sweet as Lucas is, he has an edge like everybody else. 

Oliver Black — The Loner 

Even within the group, Oliver Black is a loner. He does not interact much with the others but he is still happy to be a part of the society. Oliver has hidden depths, however, and they are ready to be unleashed.

Lucien Clemont — The Stoic 

Lucien Clemont is often seen as rude and unbothered, maybe even bored. Lucien has a soft side to him though, one he hides behind a hard exterior to avoid getting hurt.

writeblr (re)introduction;

hi it’s me back with my billionth second reintro because i took a hiatus from tumblr. again. my mental health said BYE and i felt it was best that i take a break for myself

anyways i have a heap of new followers (and a bunch of new wips!) that i wanna make the rounds with.

about;

so hi! i’m molly, she/her, eighteen. i like to think of myself as the cryptid writer who hates hero worshipping, enjoys some cute purple prose here and there, and has some very self-indulgent wips

im a member of @welcometowriteblr​ and @umbrellaacadnet​, and im also a content writer and sometimes social media manager for @ogmamagazine​ !

i love fantasy, angst, history and politics, and i feel like that prolly reflects a lot in all of my works. 

speaking of, my main (and newest!) wips are currently:

secret wip;

all’s well that ends well… might not actually end well (until it does)

new adult high fantasy

aesthetic is summer weather, long dresses dragging in the grass, girls with big dreams, castles made of stone and lies

intro post here (x)

the further we fall;

ya/na icarus retelling

featuring a teenage boy in love with the sun, a father who cares more for his inventions than his child, and a king hell bent on vengeance

was inspired by me jamming out to icarus by bastille when it came on at work

will be introducing soon!

other wips include:

burning our ashes;

There were two things that separated Cedarvale Academy from other schools: it was a private magic school, for only the most gifted and most wealthy; and it was a place where murder could happen.

ya murder mystery 

introduction (x) | tag (x)

the sinners (and the saints buried within);

Maybe Ross was right: perhaps he did deserve this. For being a mutant, a monster.

peter parker in the raft fanfic

last line tag

hi!! i got tagged by @writingamongthecoloredroses and @elenajohansenauthor to post the last lines i have written (thank you so much for tagging me! i’m sorry it took so long but i started writing for this wip yesterday so i had to wait a little until i had)

“You should smile.” Sage damm near smacked James right in the face. “I knew you were a dick but I didn’t think you were one of those guys.”

“You look like you want to be anywhere but here, a smile would help,” James said, smiling as if to show Sage how it worked, as if she had never smiled before in her life.

“I do want to be anywhere but here,” Sage shrugged, fixing her dress for no other reason than to look busy and avoid eye contact with the others in the room. “A building on fire, mass murders’ lairs, streets past 10 pm.”

“There are more poetic ends, my dear Sage,” James said with a twinkle in his eyes and extended his arm for Sage to take. She did so but not without pinching his arm first.

“You have to at least pretend you like me,” James added, giving her a glass of wine which she immediately downed before reaching over again, unfazed, to give her another. 

“I can’t.” Sage turned to look at James, her eyes apologetic. “You know I can’t.”

James sighed this time and nodded. “I know,” he confirmed. “Two hours, then we’ll get out of here.”
