I FINISHED MY BOOK! Like I finished the first draft! It lives. It breathes. It needs editing. But it's a book! And I'm so proud of myself cause like are we serious? I WROTE A BOOK!

[demenior]

Happy wip Wednesday I'm working on a date night one shot:

Eadwulf rounds the corner to the entry hall, dressed in his evening clothes, silk robe and slippers included, with a half-smoked cigar between his teeth. He holds out his hand before he reaches her. Astrid hands him her cloak, and he gives it a firm snap to dislodge the snowmelt on it before hanging it to dry.

“You’re late,” he says as greeting.

“Work,” she explains.

Even with the walk through all of the carpets in the halls to his apartment, her boots are still wet. She braces against the wall to lean down to untie them.

“Sit,” Eadwulf growls. When she doesn’t reply, he gives her a shove to the bench below her. Astrid doesn’t dignify him with a complaint, but does make sure to plant her wet boot in his lap when he crouches to untie her boots. He hands her his cigar while he works and she smokes it to keep it warm for him.

“You should have heard Ludinus today,” she groans, “grandstanding like we had all the time in the world to listen to him, as if the rest of us don’t have important things to do.”

Eadwulf grunts to show he’s listening.

“And when he’d finally stop talking, Uludan would ask him more questions. He’s a fucking idiot and once I figure out why anyone wants him there, I’m going to rip up that connection with my bare hands. I’ll kill anyone to get him out of that seat.”

She frowns at the slipper Eadwulf has put on her foot. It’s the satin pink fox-fur lined pair she was sure she’d thrown out.

“It’s cold,” Eadwulf says.

“I have socks,” she says.

Eadwulf’s grip on her ankle becomes a vice that she can’t kick off. He removes the slipper and tugs her sock off before returning the offending slipper to her feet.

She inhales deeply on his cigar to burn it out faster while he redresses her other foot.

And shortly later:

“I had to send the chef home,” Eadwulf explains as she follows him through the sitting room and into the kitchen, “I’m not paying her for overtime.”

“I’ll bill the Assembly,” Astrid says.

Eadwulf huffs a laugh.

The dining table is set for two. Astrid spies the empty wine glasses set out for the meal, and heads for the wine rack. Eadwulf has preferred cabernet franc lately and if she has the choice she wants malbec.

Eadwulf waits until she’s picked the bottle before snatching it from her hands. He points to the table, and follows on her heels like a dog as she’s herded to her seat. He pulls the chair out with one hand for her to sit.

“Are you going to be in a mood all night?” she asks.

“I’m not ‘in a mood’,” he quips, “I’m hungry.”

She does like the way he can pull the cork with his bare hands. His smile means he noticed hers. He pours her the tasting amount and waits for the verdict.

He overindulges in vices. Astrid only cares that her wines aren’t vinegars, but admittedly this is one of her favorites. The vineyard hasn’t disappointed her yet. She offers her glass for more.

“We could east sooner if you would let me help,” she reminds him as he fills her glass.

Eadwulf frowns at the label on the bottle before setting it on the table, as if she hadn't spoken at all, “the franc would have been a better choice.”

I wrote a thing, it’s probably not as amusing as I think it is, and all the good bits are @aishahiwatari‘s doing anyway, but some people might like to give it a read anyway.
