I've only got the cutest art of Sinha and Cerris by @laurenanalepa for DAME OPHIS! Now pretty please preorder it 👀🌈

🗡️ DAME OPHIS RELEASES FEB 14, 2025 🗡️

She has many names: Lady of the Oak. Dame Ophis.

Few are those to know her real one.

Sinha.

When wounded knight Cerris crosses through the forest on her way back to the castle, she doesn’t expect a surprising young woman to offer her shelter, nor to heal her.

Things take a complicated turn when Cerris realises who she is dealing with.

She is supposed to kill Dame Ophis.

The only problem is, she might have fallen in love with Sinha.

horrible questions # 19, 44, 47 🖤

19: Would you go back in time if you were given the chance?

If I kept my memories and self knowledge I'd go back to late teens and be queer as fuck and kiss girls and have a completely different life. Not that mine isn't good rn but that ship has sailed

44: have you ever danced in the rain?

I don't think so. I've screamed under moonlight though. And stole a ball from the golf course after. :3

47: what's something that makes you happy?

Aw thanks for picking this one! Despite being a generally negative person I have quite a list.

Chocolate

Good food in general

Tea

The forest

Nice smells

Seeing animals in the wild

Hearing my husband and dog snore lightly

Hanging out with friends and laughing

Horrible asks!

Hans and Henry meet at Sir Divish's wedding, both fifteen and of noble status. It still doesn't stop them from punching each other on the first day.

A duel and a half later, Hanush makes Hans write to Henry in apology, and an odd friendship begins. Until it becomes more and, possibly, worse.

sleepover asks :)

top 3 kcd ships aside from hansry?

hmmmm tough one cause I'm a very single-focus person xD

I like Henry/Bartosch as a one time thing and revelatory experience for Henry, even if I find the execution of it in the game a bit meh, but I love reading about it.

Katherine/Zizka makes so much sense that I thought it was canon until I finished the main quest lol.

and I guess a 3rd one I don't read/write (yet) but am very intrigued by would be whatever Martin, Jana and Radzig had going on xD

thanks for the ask! Feel free to share yours 🥰

wip whenever

and its conveniently wednesday, my dudes

@kimberbohwrites bullied me into doing this (tagged me and I can’t resist a tag game)

a little snippet from a Hansry oneshot I’ve been working on, I finally finished writing it last week and I’m in the last rounds of editing!! yippeeee!!!

anywho

Hans turns. There are traces of a smirk on his lips, fleeting but unmistakable. Squinted eyes. A flash of teeth. A familiar look. A hint of a challenge, maybe. Something amused and pointed right at Henry. Or perhaps he only imagines that part, as it's gone in an instant, Hans already tipping his head back to drink. His arm lifts high, the motion easy despite the amount of wine already in him. Muscle pulls taut along the length of it, lean strength sharpened by years with a bow. The bend of his arm flexes and tightens, rounded and firm. Henry feels himself tense instinctively, his own arms flexing where they rest beneath the water. As if matching him somehow. Measuring. Every man has strength. It is necessity. It is nothing. It should be nothing. Something strange twists low in his stomach all the same. His eyes wander—following the line of Hans' arm, to the soft slope where it connects with his shoulder, to the hollow dip at his collar. To the movement of Hans' throat as he swallows greedily. Up. Down. He watches as the wine spills. Hans drinks too eagerly, bordering on sloppily, the crimson liquid slipping past his mouth in thin rivulets, trailing over his chin and down the length of his throat. Henry's blood thrums beneath his flesh at the sight—not just within his chest, but within every inch of him. The wine catches the light as it falls, a deep red against pink flushed skin, carving a slow path down. Down over the broad expanse of Hans' chest, slipping along the shape of his stomach. The damp linen along his hips darkens instantly, stained a deep, angry red. Henry’s eyes follow it despite himself. He swallows, straining over a lump in his throat. The soaked fabric of Hans’ braies is drawn tight—tented, unmistakably proud. It takes him a long moment to understand what he is seeing. Longer still to place why it strikes him harder than any blow in battle. All the while, he is horribly aware that he is staring, slack-jawed. And entirely incapable of stopping. His arms fold tightly over his chest, as though he might smother the frantic hammering within.

uhhhh anyway if anyone wants to join! @merlina87 (a totally normal and not greedy and not pushy tag) @acreaturebythewater @dutifullylazybread @r0entgen (I think you write, sorry if not!!) AND ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO JOIN YAY

[merlina87]

Phew what a snippet to be tagged on... I'm eyeing that wip so you know @mrspizzle.

Now since you asked so nicely, here's a bit from a later chapter of It Has to Hurt (not next chapter, I haven't started on that...)

“Here,” Henry says, dismounting. Hans, lost in contemplation, takes slightly too long to follow and when he looks down to join Henry on the ground, finds the other boy at his side, a hand reaching up for his ankle. Hans swallows and, heart beating, lets Henry guide his foot out of the stirrup. Hans doesn’t need help getting out of the saddle, and yet he slides off right into Henry’s arms. Caught between Aethon’s heat at his back and Henry’s chest before him, he shivers. Henry’s hands are firm on his flanks, but not pushing. Hans realises that through this, Henry has never tried to lead their dance. Once again he is here, showing Hans what rhythm he is willing to go to, and letting Hans make the change for them. When he fails to move, Henry pulls back, although not without a smile. He goes to Pebbles then, opening saddle bags. Hans politely looks away, his feet taking him to the edge of the stream while he lets Henry finish putting his surprise together. The woods spread ahead, seemingly endless, and gently held in the cradle of nature, Hans thinks he might not mind if time stopped here and then. But when he steals a glance back and finds Henry on his knees, smoothing a blanket onto the grass, he bites down a grin and takes the thought back. However long they take, he will walk that road, but he does not want to stop before the end. Henry has yet to kiss him, after all.

Tagging @gifographicmemory and @bloodlessbhaalbabe if you have something in the works!
