Thank you to the amazing @crownleys for this gorgeous art of Adam, Yael and Nate! I am so in love with how Emma brought this moment between the three of them to life 💖
Below the cut is a snippet from my fic touching, tangling, intertwined that fits with this art ^^
In a not-quite-steady step, she closes the distance to Nate. Tiptoeing, she leans in to kiss his cheek. Stubble brushes her lips when she stays there for a heartbeat, his hands coming to a rest on her waist. His eyes closed, he tilts his head towards her when she draws away, his nose brushing her cheek, lips ghosting across the corner of her mouth. Fleeting touches that leave her wanting for more, but when she turns her head, eyes green like sea glass catch hers, sending a thrill down her spine, and Nate’s hands fall away as she turns to Adam.
He doesn’t hold her, but doesn’t draw away either. Her lips find his cheek and the world tilts sideways. Her body presses against his, just for a second, before she falls away. He doesn’t chase her, doesn’t move at all, his gaze transfixed on her lips as she moves back, towards her bedroom.
Decided to take advantage of the open tag offer from @asukatoshipiled and share something from "Me and You (and Him)" 💛
Who's ready for Chapter Four? I'm not! I mean, I am but also :^)
I missed you, he says, his fingers trembling in anticipation of what's to come. I missed us, he says, his dark-brown eyes gazing at him with such intensity, it's almost as if Yves were looking right up into the sky and into an ongoing eclipse.
He can't lie, not to the man who now stands before him, not to himself, he missed them as well, he missed the fragile serenity they used to have and this relationship which made him so joyful. A part of him wishes to lose himself in Nate's arms completely, the other, however, tugs at his already fragile mind, asking if perhaps he forgot about something or someone...
He didn't forget.
How could he?

Gosh Erin has been an OC of mine for such a long time. Probably about ten years at this point? I always liked the name Erin as it can be sort of gender neutral if you're hearing it versus saying it. And so I thought, it could be a nice name! And I think when I was considering last names I thought, oh well I like Summers as a last name because I've always enjoyed BTVS and Winters is a fun alternative to that. And thus Erin Winters was born!
18. What is the most recent thing you’ve discovered about your OC?
So playing her in The Wayhaven Chronicles and When Twilight Strikes and then also as an NPC in my current Monsterhearts 2 game and as a PC in a HtR game, she's doing a while lot recently but I think consistently is that she's a smoker!
She wasn't in her original iteration, but I think her in her 20s she picked up the habit as a way to destress but also just have as excuse to leave a situation. And then it became a habit.
The timing was never right for the two of them to spend time together. Their short meetings, their dates, even their intimate moments had to be squeezed into a tight schedule between other responsibilities, and Nat deeply despised it, even if she couldn’t do anything to change it. When the stars finally aligned perfectly for Nat and Eden, and both had a day off, she felt happier than ever, because it meant they could enjoy time together without interruptions, without constantly checking the time.
Nat had a plan in mind, of course. She wanted this day to be the best one Eden ever had. And it was going to be a wonderful, day-long date, if it wasn’t for the fact that the moment Nat stepped foot into Eden’s apartment, they started kissing, as if trying to make up for all the lost time, and soon nothing else mattered. Clothes scattered across the floor marked their way to the bedroom, where they both forgot all about their plans. The hunger they had for each other, one that grew between them during the days when they didn’t have a chance to meet, was far from being satisfied, even after Nat spend good half of the morning between Eden’s legs, where her girlfriend was so wet, hot, and welcoming.
They held each other in a tight embrace, with Nat covering Eden’s body, their lips locked in a sloppy kiss. Nat’s fingers, still wet after they’ve been inside Eden, were now digging into her pale hip as Nat was pressing her down. She could never have enough of it – of Eden’s taste, of her feel, of her rapid heartbeat in the moments when she was about to fall apart. Nat was more than willing to give it all to Eden and even more. As much as she might want, as much as she would take.
Eden said something into a kiss, but with their tongues touching, it wasn’t exactly legible. Eden lightly pressed on Nat’s shoulder, asking her to pull away, and she did so, even if it was the last thing she wanted.
“Nat,” Eden let out breathily, her words followed by a bright smile. Nat couldn’t help but feel happiness swell in her chest as she looked at Eden in that moment. “One of us needs to breathe, remember?”
“I’m sorry,” Nat wasn’t sorry one bit, especially not when her mouth found a new purpose against Eden’s neck. “I feel like I’ll never have enough of you, so it’s hard for me to stop, even for a moment.”
Eden let out a soft humming sound, her body moving under Nat’s in an attempt to stay close. When Nat felt a hand in her hair, she felt pure bliss. Nothing could’ve been better than this moment, better than being with Eden like this, without any wayward thoughts to ruin the moment.
“Nat,” Eden called again, getting her attention. When Nat looked at her face, she saw hesitance, shyness.
“What is it? Do you want to take a break? Do you want me to stop?” all she wanted was for Eden to be comfortable and happy with her, no matter how she wanted it.
“Well, yes, but…” Eden stopped for a moment. Nat didn’t enjoy how nervous she looked, how she was avoiding her eyes. But before real worry could settle, Eden continued. “I don’t want to stop, but I would like us to switch. So I could take care of you, too.”
It took Nat a moment to process her words. Eden was forthcoming about her past experience and lack of experience with women. It was never a problem for Nat, she was more than happy to give if that was what Eden needed from her, without asking anything in return. With how brief their past intimate moments were, they didn’t exactly have time for discussions, they just happened, and Nat was happy as long as she left Eden satisfied. It never crossed her mind that Eden would want to change something in their arrangement.
“You don’t have to do this if that’s not what you want,” Nat said in a gentle tone, lightly touching a scar on Eden’s cheek. “What we do is not a transaction.”
Eden’s expression hardened, and she slowly exhaled before she put both of her hands on Nat’s face, not allowing her to look away.
“Natalie, what I want is for you to stop being so considerate and let me eat you out,” Eden’s tone was serious, determined, even. Nat always wanted to be touched by her, but in this moment, she wanted it more than anything else.
“With how passionate your request sounded, I don’t think I can deny it,” Nat gently kissed Eden, while part of her felt slightly tense. She knew that she wouldn’t be disappointed by the experience, but she also wanted Eden to enjoy it.
“You’ll have to give me pointers,” Eden said, her tone far less confident than it was a moment ago. Two of them untangle from each other to switch positions. Nat couldn’t hide how much she enjoyed Eden’s readiness to please her.
“I have a feeling you’re a natural,” Nat ran a hand over Eden’s back.
They kissed again, heat returning with force, until the sheet of Eden’s black hair slipped off her shoulder, falling onto Nat’s face and getting in the way.
“Sorry,” Eden pulled away, before she lifted herself on her arms and leaned to the bedside table to get an elastic. Nat thoroughly enjoyed the view of her girlfriend’s breasts right above her face, before she moved again. “Give me a moment.”
“Let me,” Nat asked, sitting on the bed and opening her palm. Eden gave her an elastic without hesitation and moved around, turning her back to Nat, sitting between her open legs.
This moment felt so calm and domestic, even if both of them were naked and about to have sex. Nat couldn’t stop smiling as she ran her hands through Eden’s long, silky hair, separating the strands so she could put them into a braid.
“I love your hair,” she said, leaving a light kiss on Eden’s shoulder. “It’s so soft.”
Eden let out a light laugh. “We’re both fully naked, and the part of me you want to compliment is my hair?”
“What’s wrong with that?” Nat asked, almost done with the task. “What part of me would you name if I asked which one is your favorite?”
“Your fingers,” Eden answered without a moment of hesitation. Nat couldn’t see her face, but she was more than sure there was blush on Eden’s cheeks.
“And what do you like about them?” Nat couldn’t help but tease. Eden’s hands landed on her legs, caressing lightly, almost calmingly, despite the situation.
“You know what I like,” she said with a laugh. “I like how they feel inside me.”
Nat couldn’t help but feel happy when she heard it. She wanted to do it again, wanted to make Eden moan her name. Nat’s hands went to reach for Eden’s breasts, teasing the soft flesh, until she felt a light slap against her wrist.
“No, not now. It’s your turn,” Eden reminded her, turning around to face Nat. “I want to know what it looks like when you can’t control yourself.”
Nat wasn’t about to tell Eden that this part was never going to happen, this conversation was too heavy for the moment they were sharing. Instead, she got onto her back and watched as Eden leaned over her chest with a dreamy expression on her face.
“You know, I kept wondering if your hyper-senses translate into how my touch feels,” Eden said, almost absently cupping Nat’s breast and rubbing her nipple with a thumb. “Do they?”
Nat felt the heat in her lower stomach, and she wasn’t sure if what caused it was Eden’s touch or the way she looked at Nat, spoke to her.
“Yes,” Nat answered, watching a grin appear on Eden’s face.
“I expect to hear this word many more times today,” she laughed, lightly kissing Nat, before busying her mouth with Nat’s breasts.
If Eden didn’t know what to do, it surely didn’t feel like it. She was attentive, constantly looking up to check on Nat’s expression, and it was that questioning look of Eden’s blue eyes that was making Nat lose it. Being wanted this badly was a pleasure that nothing could replace.
Eden kept teasing her breasts, her tongue rubbing against Nat’s nipples, her lips sucking in and making her feel even more tension.
“Does it feel good?” Eden asked with concern, lifting her head. “You can tell me, I’m open to criticism.”
“Do my moans mean nothing to you?” Nat asked softly. “Though I would appreciate it if you continued with your original plan. After having you and what you just did…”
“You’re desperate for me to fuck you,” Nat blinked, not sure if she heard it right, because Eden never swore in front of her before. Her look seemed to dampen Eden’s mood. “Sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. I’m a little nervous, and I can’t think straight.”
“No, don’t apologize. I love to see you so eager,” Nat reassured Eden. She pulled at the end of her braid, making Eden lean closer to her face. “You can have me any way you want me.”
Their kiss grew needier, just like the two of them, and all Nat wanted was to feel anything, everything Eden would be willing to give her.
As soon as Eden pulled away, she moved down between Nat’s legs. She expected there to be hesitation, for Eden to start slowly, but Nat underestimated how long her girlfriend waited for that moment.
“Eden!” she let out, as soon as she felt firm, long strokes of Eden’s tongue against the wetness that collected between her legs after the long foreplay.
“Do you want me to do something different?” she asked with concern, lifting her head, and the view of her between Nat’s legs made her ache even more.
“Slow down a bit,” Nat gave her a reassuring smile. “I’m afraid I won’t last long if you continue like this.”
Eden looked almost giddy after hearing those words, and Nat would’ve commented on that, but she felt Eden’s warm tongue against her core once more.
Eden took her request to heart, continuing to tease Nat slowly with the tip of her tongue, but that didn’t make much of a change. She was too wound up, the situation made her too excited to feel anything but strong, hot pleasure building up faster than she ever felt before.
“Do you enjoy this?” Nat asked, feeling closer and closer to the edge. Even in this moment, she couldn’t help but make sure Eden felt good.
“Shouldn’t I be the one asking this?” Eden stayed in place to answer, and Nat felt her hot breath hit right against the wetness. “You taste very good, and you feel even better against my mouth. Does it answer your question?”
Nat could only nod, not sure if Eden saw, because she was back to teasing Nat even more intensely. Nat couldn’t stop loud moans dropping from her lips, especially when she felt a jolt of pleasure make her body tighten so much her thighs almost closed around Eden’s head. Eden didn’t seem to be bothered by it, she didn’t even pause as Nat felt the intensity of pleasure rushing through her.
There was no break, not even for a moment. Eden pressed her mouth against Nat’s sensitive nub, sucking on it, while her fingers pushed into Nat. She whimpered, not sure how Eden was able to hold back until that moment.
“Does this feel right?” Eden asked in a gentle tone, while her fingers slowly moved inside Nat’s walls. She could only look at Eden through half-lidded eyes, noticing the wetness around her mouth. “Should I do this?”
Nat moaned loudly enough to know that there was no way sound was contained by the walls of Eden’s apartment.
“Yes, that’s better,” she finally let out, earning a smile from Eden.
It felt heavenly, and not only because Eden’s mouth and fingers were moving in a perfect rhythm that made Nat’s whole body burn. Being this wanted by someone she loved so much, someone she wanted to have at her side until the end of time, was making her feel weak in a whole new way.
She heard the wet sounds of Eden’s mouth on her, felt the teasing friction of her fingers, and only wanted more. Anything Eden was willing to give, Nat would take with gratitude, meet with affection. They fit together perfectly in so many ways, and this moment was just another proof of that.
The wave of pleasure ripping through her body was stronger than her first orgasm, making Nat grip the sheets under her, ignoring the creaking of the tearing fabric. Eden slowed down, allowing Nat to feel every second of it, every hot, wonderful moment, until she felt nothing but complete emptiness in her thoughts and relaxation in her body.
“Am I right to assume it was good?” Eden moved to lie down at Nat’s side, looking at her with interest.
“Yes, you’d be right,” Nat nodded, turning to face Eden. “I have a feeling your neighbors won’t be too happy if we continue to spend our days like this.”
Eden laughed brightly, softly kissing Nat.
“I had a very good time, so I think that’s all that matters,” she said, hugging Nat with one arm.
Nat closed her eyes and pressed her face to the top of Eden’s head, feeling calmer than she had in a long time. They were together, and she was happier than ever as she held Eden in her arms.
If she could pick one day to never end, that would’ve been the one Nat would choose.
"Maybe some day in the future... Maybe then, I'll know how to properly tell you everything I never dare to say."
I'll be fighting my demons here and post something that isn't "completed" yet. I do intend to make this a fully rendered illustration one day, but today is not that day, and I was growing a little restless to share something as well.
This was honestly just an excuse to draw Adam and Ethan in their happy place in the style of a post card. I hope you'll enjoy.
Ragebaiting A du Mortain 101: Detective tells them they trained with another unit and it was more productive and efficient. Bonus points if it's Unit Alpha
"Make me." Adam bites back, his fangs flashing in the sterile shine of the overhead lights and upon hearing his retort, Nate feels his own muscles tense up, his fingers tremble with the vehement need for slaughter.
"I'm not going to repeat myself, du Mortain."
"And I'm not going to move, Sewell."
"Do not test my patience. You either leave, now, on your own, or I'll make you."
"As if you could." The subtle shift in du Mortain's expression tells Nate that the other man wishes to spit at the ground beneath his feet but finds a semblance of restraint before doing so, as if the strict rules and protocol around contamination had more say in du Mortain's behaviour than Nate's thinly veiled threats ever could.
Nate doesn't respond to du Mortain's derision, knowing that, at this point, doing so would be a waste of time, instead taking a step with an intent to sharpen his claws and rip out the other man's spine but before he can do just so, the beeping of the electrocardiogram, which has previously faintly echoed around the room, halts him in his steps. It is louder now, much louder, its rhythm accelerated, when it was very much unhurried but a moment prior...
idk about you, but part of me still believes Rebecca would've pulled the same move Mayrina from bg3 did if given a chance and exchanged the child she didn't want that badly to get the love of her life back
14. If you had to narrow it down to 2 things that you MUST keep in mind while working with your OC, what would those things be?
I think the two important things is:
a) Erin has a very strong sense of justice. She may not always like people but she will always protect those who cannot protect themselves. She feels it is her duty and those who attack and hurt and kill those who are innocent and defenseless, must be taken out. It is cowardly and unjust to harm those who cannot fight back.
b) She is not a people-person. In some iteration of Erin she is gray-aplatonic. She very rarely forms close platonic bonds and she won't consider someone a close friend for a long time. You have to work to earn her friendship and trust. She is more likely to develop romantic feelings than platonic feelings.
16. What is something about your OC can make you cry?
She is constantly chasing an ideal that she feels she will never live up to. Being a character who is defined by one or both of her parents, she strives to live up to her legacy and to prove that she has a place in whatever it is she has joined. This sours her relationship and memory of her deceased parent and also makes it difficult for her to feel close to a living parent. In TWC Erin feels like she has to live up to both her father and her mother and often feels like she falls flat. That she can't. And her mother not wanting her to (as far as I can tell) makes her more inclined to prove her wrong.
Her desire to prove herself just makes my heart ache bc she feels like she can't ever reach that goal.
Funniest side effect of writing "Me and You (and Him)" has to be the fact that I'm thinking about Yves/Nate constantly. Like, yeah, this fic is about the v-shape but it's also about Yves picking Nate and going against fate itself, Nate holding onto Yves and not letting go, these two healing and working through all of the pain they inflicted upon one another, call is a relationship study at this point because that's what it is
i also think that a love triangle route featuring F would be super interesting bc they're very observant and so attuned to other people's emotions and feelings that they would 100% immediately clock the detective's heartbreaking dilemma!!
guyssss if the current A & N love triangle route was removed and replaced with a new lt, what combos would you like to see! including characters outside of ub
personally i'm A & M lt truther, but would also love to see A & Maaka 👀
Louie and Lace enjoying some quiet downtime in the Lighthouse post-Veilguard 💛🧡
(Oof, it's been a while since I posted art here 😅 A mix of not having a lot of time to draw and completely forgetting to post the stuff I did draw whoops. Anyway, have some more Aloisia Ingellvar and Lace Harding to compensate. I'll see about catching up on posting art soon, hopefully!)
"…Is it cramps? Is that why you're being all," she makes a gesture with her hands that I recognise to mean "dead."
"Yes. And I know you don't remember what they're like but it's bad today."
Something flickers across her face, an emotion I can't qute place, before it's replaced by a teasing expression as she walks her fingers across the planes of my stomach.
"Y'know. You once told me that an orgasm helps with that," Morgan throws me that annoyingly sexy smirk I love, flashing the tip of her fang just enough for me to feel my heart flutter in my chest.

here is a little snippet from a fic about high school teddy coming out
"Jake's a great guy," she defends her new beau. At least, he said yes without any further questions when she asked if he wanted to date, which means he has great taste in women. And might be a little stupid, which Mom has said can be valuable in a man. "Shame on you for thinking that I'm trying to prove something."
Nick holds up his hands in surrender. "Okay, Button. I love and support you. No matter who you date."
She sees what he's doing. Jerk.
