“If I do figure out how to break this curse somehow… You have to leave.” “I’ll come back.” Everly looked at him pointedly. “It almost killed you the first time.” “Yes, but if the curse is broken then there won’t be a Clearing and there won’t be any furies to attack us.” Everly sighed, her face somber. “They won’t let you come back,” she said quietly. “Not if they find out you were here. That we are the furies. That I am the firebird.”

THERE ARE NO ANIMALS HERE BUT US

“Alright,” Wren says, suddenly, his voice wrecking from his throat like defeat, like rapture, like he’s bargaining with god. “Say that you do it. Say that you slay the dragon, that you get your treasure, and then you put a knife through its heart. Say that you have your way and the universe is quiet. Say that you destroy everything just to find your own name again in the wreckage of it all.”

Marek snarls above him, his body blotting out the filmy neon orange light that spills down across the dark ichor of wires and massive buildings high above them, the damp twilight that casts its fractured reflection on the belly of the planets upper ring high in the atmosphere beyond. He is sweat stricken, his hair matted with dirt and blood, and he looks animal in the half-light. One wrong step and those teeth will grow sharper, that mouth will tear Wren apart.

One wrong step and he’s done for, but Wren’s been making every possible mistake he can for years now, and at this point he isn’t afraid of what the consequences of his actions are. 

“Say that you win, Marek,” Wren says, “you get everything you wanted and more. What happens after that? Where do you go when you have nowhere to return to because you’ve set fire to it all?”

“Nowhere,” Marek says. The world around them suffocates itself in the sluggish, brutal wet heat of the planets interior. Marek shakes his head and beads of sweat drip from his neck, scattering across Wren’s skin. “I break my crown, I rest my laurels. I go nowhere, Wren. Because then, at last, I’ll be done.”

“And how long until the emptiness itself haunts you?” Wren asked him, closing his eyes. “How long until you turn around and look back on the bridges you burned?”

“What does it matter?”

Wren laughed, the sound a jackal cry, humorless and torn apart by grief.

“It matters,” Wren says. “Because down here, we’re not knights or emperors. We’re not saviors. We’re not gods. We’re just animals. And if it takes putting down one more dog for you to realize that you’re on a collision course with your own misery, then I’ll gladly eat the bullet.” 

Marek snarls, his mouth tearing open into a protest that Wren denies by lunging upward, forcing Marek back to his feet. Wren hurls him into one of the near walls, the uneven brick biting into his body, cutting and scraping at his sweat stricken skin.

“Because at the end of this line,” Wren says, breathing bating in his throat like fire, “it will always come down to me and you. It will always come down to the universe or this.”

🍟 — Talk about another writeblr’s WIP that everyone should check out!

I am a big fan of @roselinproductions’ Like Falling Stars (I mean, it’s technically a finished work, but I love it, sooo…). It’s so sweet and full of feelings! And it’s sequel, Constellations, is being posted right now! Man, I really gotta catch up on it. 

Go read it!!

🍿 — Tell you something I really love about my writing!

I super duper love the way I do flashbacks. They’re one of my favorite things to write. I write transitions so smooth so you don’t even notice you’re in a flashback until you come back to the present-tense story, and it’s so goddamn fluid and graceful and I love it. 

I love doing super technical stuff in my writing. 

🧂 — Gush about someone’s OC that is absolutely amazing!

Hey. Hey @abalonetea. You know Locke?

I love him. My loving common sense sunshine boi. Every goofball needs their guard rail friend. Locke is like the blanket fort you build on a rainy day. I am a sucker for sunshine people who try so, so very hard to be the good the world needs, to fight for the right reasons, and to see their loved ones safe at the end of the day.

We are also heterochromia buddies, so +1.

Aquarius🌊 from pinespittinink~~

aquarius: what is the most unique thing about your current wip?

the women don’t die yes i’m making a dig at game of thrones

I guess the main cast is pretty unique? At least, enough that I haven’t seen it often. With Sage being bisexual who ends up with Nyx at the end, who is a lesbian, and Zephyr who is aroace.

Or maybe the gods? Like, they’re not really gods. Most stories I’ve read usher in like a mention here and there about them, but never quite include them, but they’re vey much active in the story.

💚💙

Thanks for asking man!!

💚 If you had to trade lives with one of your OCs, who would you pick?

Uh, honestly? Desdemona, she’s got the rich, money-making, all-the-luxuries, monarch lifestyle w/out most of the problems Barachiel has. While her policies suck as queen i could fix them myself

💙 Which of your OCs would be your best friend (if they were to exist in real life)? Which would be your worst enemy?

I feel like I would probably get along with Ahava the best! She’s got a snarky wit and take-no-shit attitude I love, plus a deep devotion for her friends, i’d just have to break through her layers first... hmm... As for the worst enemy, i think it’d be Kimon, he’s an adulterous bastard with no self resepect.
