TEMPTING A HEART - Character Moodboard 1/3

Aubrey Kagawa.

//

26. Half-Korean, half-Japanese.

Born into a rich, loving home, graduated from university with honors, and in line to be the CEO of her family’s very successful company after her uncle, Aubrey life seems as perfect as can be to the casual eye. She’s got it all; money, friends, a family that loves unconditionally, a bright future...

All except one thing: someone to spend her life with.

Aubrey doesn’t let this hold her back, though. No, instead, she’s determined to make it stay that way. When the love of her life of four years vanished overnight with only seven measly little words on a scrap of paper, Aubrey was sure this was a sign from the universe. A sign that she wasn’t meant for love, that her feelings were too intense for anyone to handle so intimately. Even her soulmate.

She spent years picking up the pieces of herself. Swore she’d never let anyone have the chance to break her like this again. She’s convinced herself that she’s better now. Stronger. That she’s perfectly happy without love. And for the most part, that’s true.

But there’s a part of her that knows it’s a lie. A part of her that craves to be held, kissed. A part of her that aches to feel loved as she once was. A part of her that is still shattered by being abandoned so unexpectedly.

Aubrey just won’t admit to it, because then that would mean that she’s still not ok after all these years.

Can’t have that.

“Tempting a Heart”: A CONTEMPORARY SLOW-BURN ROMANCE COMING TO YOU BY (HOPEFULLY) 2022!

Links to pre-orders on different platforms to be updated on this post when they are up! I will also be handing out free copies in exchange for reviews on goodreads prior to pre-orders, so give me a heads up if you’re interested! I will probably have a limited amount of slots for that, like 20ish.

I think one of the most damaging ideologies towards children is the conviction that having children isn’t a calling but a moral obligation.

[hymnsofheresy]

Not to be a crazy radical or anything, but children deserve to be deeply wanted by their parents.

[hymnsofheresy]

Children shouldn’t be a “stage” in life that everyone is obligated to fulfill; childrearing is not for everyone. More importantly, children shouldn’t be state-enforced punishments for “irresponsible” sexual behavior.

Children are people with thoughts and feelings just like the rest of us. They are conscious of the way people treat them. And they can certainly tell when they are unwanted and/or resented.

[ID: tumblr tags. they are: #reblog #i also dont think its enough to want a child. i think you need to want a teenager and an adult too #my mom wanted a baby. when i was too old to pronounce spaghetti wrong and let her put me in church dresses she was done with me #my dad wanted a person. he wanted a baby a child a tween a teen and an adult #my dad wanted to watch a person happen. which was different. /end ID.]

Hi! I’m currently on a sasusaku fic binge bc of retsuden and I wanted to drop by to tell you how much I loved “home is where the heart is.” Definitely one of my all time favorites. You are an amazing writer and I will absolutely be checking out your original works as well!! Sending love !

Thank you so much, friend! That means a lot :)

12, 43, or 46 sasusaku

Thank you so much for the ask! I chose to write #12 "candles" :)

Orochimaru’s hideout is windowless, monochrome, dim. Sakura opens a battered iron door with bloody hands. Her fingers leave red streaks across the metal, the same shade as the rust. Inside, she finds a room so spare that she’d think it was unoccupied if not for the blanket folded on the narrow bed. That, and the candles. They cast the only light, a warm glow against the darkness.

She feels him before she sees or hears him. It’s not the vibration of footsteps or his bonfire scent either; she notices those things too, but only after she knows he’s there. That’s the tell, the revelation, more reliable than any physical sense. A bone-deep certainty that comes from knowing and being known.

He steps closer, closer, until he stands directly behind her. It’s like the night he left turned inside out and upside down.

She braces herself, but it’s not enough to prepare her for the sound of his voice. Maybe nothing could prepare her after three years apart.

“Hello, Sakura.”

I might fill 43 or 46 later, and if I do, I'll make sure to tag you!

If anyone else wants to send me prompts, here's the list of micro fic prompts. I'll take SasuSaku, Spuffy, Jilco, and Gallavich <3

I know this isn't a micro fic. Sue me lol

My brother doesn’t know the irony of responding to him having white privilege with “i don’t care about race, i just care about humans”

i got covid from my sis over a week ago and tho i no longer have symptoms (well i have some tiny bit like slightly congested nose and slight cough) my brain is like scrambled eggs about everything. something in me has just been off every day now. i try to write but i can’t find my words. i try to game but i feel almost dissociated from them or simply not present enough so i can’t find the focus and basically fuck up all the time. i try to watch shows/videos/movies but it takes a lot of effort to stay focused. i try to organize future novel shit but literally just can’t come up with anything even if i know what i want exactly.

i know i need to give myself and my body time to fully recover from covid but im sick of this already lol

[xxlovendreamsxx]

im transforming so many of my fics into original writing novellas btw, apparently having a huge backlist is important to indie writers so imma take advantage and get some $$$$ for the stories i spent so much of my time writing for free lol

hi

sasusaku is still the best ship to ever exist

“what if you had been aborted, huh?”

If I had been aborted, I wouldn’t exist, and I wouldn’t have any feelings to be hurt by it. Inexistence and death are not the same thing.

Abortion is a good thing. It is a human right, and if we are to properly defend it as such, we need to accept that fact. No more beating around the bush.
