Word Find Tag
Saw this challenge floating around, but the poster requested that non-tagged individuals make their own post, so that's what I'm doing!
📝 Search for the words <around, about, near, close> in your writing.
around (WIP "Sibling Rivalry," ft. Mirac) “My mother is a merciful woman, Doctor, so I’ll give you a choice,” Mirac said, tightening the whip around the older man’s neck. The weapon’s glow cast the doctor’s face in unflattering shadows, making him look prematurely dead.
about (WIP "Pelt," ft. Minkyu) What most people don’t realize about Minkyu is that he does try to tolerate some discomfort, and he bears in this moment the best he can, until his muscles can no longer ignore how his nerves sound the alarm. “Stop,” Minkyu hisses and yanks his paw away bodily, rolling over to groan. “Time out. Fuck.”
near ("Sense Memory" ft. Blake + @idolkilling's Tortora, available on AO3) Part of him doesn’t understand why Tortie is here right now, near him. Tortie shouldn’t be anywhere near him. Warm hands fish him from the cold pool of his mind. He rises into himself like a corpse from a lake and realizes, Tortie's not the one running cold—he is.
close ("This is the Price of Yearning" ft. Demari, available on AO3) When they tolerate it, he pours himself against them, like he can erode away the jagged edges of their shared history like a river smooths a stone. He drinks them in like he could drown in them, wishes he could drown them, live in the warmth of their lungs, close to their heart.
I don't have anyone specific in mind to tag (seeking more writing friends, ahaha), so if you follow me and would like to give this a go, feel free! You can use the words above, or you can use <favor, hunger, space, trail>
