[asoftplxcetoland]

Prompts 14 & 16 but in the same piece! Challenge mode.

send me a cuddle prompt! 

14. in public & 16. with rain outside. 

okay this is gonna be an interesting one. i’m gonna go with marcus and nat for this and save the snippet for book two so like, have some angst. for context, these two idiots have known each other for like, twelve years, they got together about eight years ago and were like, casually sleeping together, and then nat blurted out that she loved him and his response was to...leave the country. bc he’s an emotionally repressed idiot. he’s literally been back a month before everything goes to hell and they have to go prove that sam’s death was not an accident and now they’re like. stuck with each other and pretending like they’re not still stupidly in love with each other. under the cut bc...long. 

TAGLIST | ask to be added! @reveriecs @summersromance @kitty-mochi @kmunrowrites

I stood at the window, my back to the crowd and glass of whiskey in hand. Rain poured down outside, pelting against the panes of glass. I sipped on the amber liquor slowly, unable to focus on what we’d come here to do. It wasn’t as though we’d been successful, at any rate. We’d found nothing. 

Nat stepped up next to me, her deep red gown swishing just slightly against the marble floors. 

“I miss him too, you know,” she said quietly, staring out the window. 

I turned my head just slightly to look at her. She was, as always, stunning—utterly entrancing. 

“Sam, I mean,” she added, keeping her eyes fixed on the rain falling outside. “I miss him too.” 

“How did you know I was thinking about him?” 

“You had that look on your face.” She finally met my gaze, the coldness that had filled her eyes every time she looked at me gone for the first time in weeks. “You always get that look when you’re thinking about him.” 

“Oh.” 

She moved closer and rested her head on my shoulder. I blinked, taken aback by the sudden gesture of familiarity—sure, we’d been pretending like we were together and she didn’t hate me all night, but there wasn’t anyone watching us right now. 

This felt real. 

“Stop being an arse and hug me, will you,” she grumbled. I wrapped an arm around her waist quickly, pulling her into my side. I wasn’t about to argue with her—not when this was the first time she’d softened to me since my return. She rested her hand over mine, lacing our fingers together, and I rested my cheek against the top of her head. I savoured the moment, not knowing when I’d get another chance—and selfishly, I wanted to take advantage for as long as I could. 

I’d missed her. Missed holding her, being with her—missed everything about her. Getting to hold her, like this? It was all I’d wanted since I’d stupidly walked away all those years ago. 

“Don’t think this means I forgive you,” she muttered, and I barked out a laugh that was tinged with sadness. 

“I know.” I didn’t deserve that, and I knew it. It would be a long time before she could forgive me, if ever. 

But at least she was talking to me now.

💜💍☺️😳😏; and good luck on the essay!

WHOA THAT’S SO MANY THANK YOU SO MUCHHASLDASDLAS. also haha thank you!! (it ain’t that bad tbh, i’m just bored aha)

💜 top 3 favorite lines and ☺️ a line that made you feel a fluffy happiness

answered here!

💍 your most underrated story and 😏 your most risky line

answered here!

😳 - your scariest line

scariest line, huh? i wonder if this will suffice:

also trigger warning for thoughts of death. (is that the proper term? sorry i'm not very good at these)

The thought was strangely comforting. But why wouldn’t it be comforting? Dying was easier than living, after all. I wouldn’t have to think. To see. To feel. It would be so effortless. I could just get away from everything I ever hated about the world. And it would so easy.

jack!! thank u for the greeting u absolutely amazing person!! ♥️✊

[akoumi]

🥂 seeing your unabashed love for your wip is the kind of positive inspirational content I need today!

🥂 I don’t know much about your work yet, but I look forward to reading more from you in the new year 

cheers to that, mate!

🖊️ + dealer's choice!

I’ll go with Niko, I’ve been slacking on the Frontiersman content lately. 

So it’s interesting to note that, because he’s Dunver, Niko built his Iron when he was around 15. And every Dunver child trains with a master at how to wield their Iron. This master can be their parents or another seasoned shooter. 

Well, Niko’s parents died in the Nelegos crash when he was 14, so by the time he got off the planet he was stranded on a year later, he went back home to forge his Iron and find a new teacher to finish his training. 

Niko would eventually come under the tutelage of Ava Call, one of the most legendary gunfighters the galaxy had ever seen. I mean this woman was an artist on the draw. She’s done some epic shit. She’s also considered the fastest gun in the galaxy by anybody who knows what they’re talking about. 

Ava was, of course, a tough teacher and showed no sympathy for Niko(Ofc she loved the hell out of him like her own son, but she never showed it until after his training was complete) and is the reason he uses the draw and firing style he uses to this day. Fan firing was a rare method by the time Niko learned it. 

As of now, Niko and Ava have never gone up against each other, so it’s entirely possible that he might have surpassed his teacher, which would make Niko the fastest gun in the galaxy, if that were true!

Tag Game!!

thank u @jcckwrites for tagging me! your questions are so fun!

im doing this for my second unnamed wip!

1. Do you title your chapters? If so, how many times do you end up changing the title before it’s done? If not, what do you title them with and why?

i've never titled a chapter, even when i was a child!

2. List 3-5 works (books, comics, tv, movies, etc) that you know have influenced your worldbuilding and/or writing. Feel free to include why beside them!

Twin Peaks, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Seconds by Bryan Lee O'Malley, Kikis Delivery Service, and as much as i hate to admit it... Sarah J Maas's ACOTAR series

3. If there is a food/drink that inspires you to write, what is it and why?

its weird but like toast inspires me to write! i can just like imagine the way i'd describe the crunch

4. What is your writing ‘routine?’ Either to start writing or keep the momentum?

to start writing, i've recently been reading a page of a book and then writing! idk why it really works for me! and to keep momentum, once im losing it i usually set a timer for 2 minutes and see how much i can do in that time and so on until i dont realise i havent reset the timer

5. Do you like fancasting your characters? Why or why not?

i've never really fancasted a character since im not really in-the-know about actors but if it makes sense i model cast them? like i find people who look like my characters

6. Do you have a self-enforced daily word count? Why or why not?

nope, my schedule is whack ass and it'd be impossible for me to enforce a daily word count!

7. Have you accidentally put someone in your life in your story? Who? Did you regret it when you realized it?

not really, i try to avoid it!

8. What is a genre you could never write and why?

Sci-fi, i just don't have... the interest or the knowledgd

9. What is your weirdest ‘writing habit’?

umm... hmm aside from never sitting properly on a chair, it'd probably be writing scenes on my phone in the shower

10. Who is a character of yours you can or will never write again? Why?

i don't think i have one atm!

11. List the last 3 writing accomplishments you reached. Be as detailed as you like! And remember to look back on them and feel really, really proud of yourself!!
