  1. 吹起他的黑发,露出那双银灰色的眼睛。

    那双眼睛里,有什么东西正在慢慢死去。

  2. Violet’s Literary Quotes – 9th July 2026

    This story was written for Violet's Literary Quotes, where she gave us, “The depravity of man’s heart knows no floor.” ― Stephen Graham Jones, The Buffalo Hunter Hunter. Image generated using Perplexity AI The sky hung low and gray and full of iron. The boy stood at the edge of the field where the corn had been and watched the ground. The soil was black and wet and cold. It smelled of rot and iron and something older. He held the shovel with both hands and the handle was slick […]

  4. “But she only passed the needle through the cloth, gently, gently, as if she were mending, in the moonlight, a wound that would never heal.” 🌙

  5. 她曾是最接近神之爱的存在。如今,她是最远离神之爱的残骸。
    但在残骸的缝隙中,仍有一丝微光——
    那是最初的夜晚,她用自己的羽翼为创造者披上圣光时,被烙印在核心深处的、尚未被扭曲的、最初的爱。

  6. 汽水瓶放下来,他的目光也收回去了,好像什么都没发生过。

    她攥着手心里的草莓糖,一步一步地挪出了校门。

    拐杖敲在地面上,笃、笃、笃。

    她的影子被夕阳拉得很长,细细的,歪歪扭扭的,像一棵刚栽下去还没长稳的小树苗。

  7. 她贴着剔透的囚笼,吐息在弧面上凝作薄雾。指节叩响未来,像敲打你的颅骨——回音里,你逃不掉了。泛白的眼眸盛满微光,她笑着低语:“你早已是我的,而未来……永远不会背叛我。”

    所以…别逃。

  8. 她推开天台的门,暮色就扑过来抱住她。铁栏杆是凉的,手心贴上去,指尖却微微发颤。是风?还是别的什么在抖。
    脑子里全是刚才那个画面。
    那三个人站在一起,像一幅画好的画,色彩明亮,构图完美,每一笔都恰到好处。
    而她站在画框外面。
    连看都只能偷偷地看。
    面包吃完的时候,她发现自己的手指在微微发抖。
    不是冷。
    是那种从骨头缝里渗出来的、说不清道不明的酸涩。
    她把面包袋子揉成一团,扔进抽屉里。
    然后她蹲下身,把脸埋进手臂之间。
    走廊外面,那个女孩的笑声又响了一次。
    清脆的,明亮的。
    像是从另一个世界传来的声音。

  9. At least, health anxieties aside, the first of the artist commissions I made to draw a cover for my #gay #romance #webnovel Fractured Heart: the Tale of the Pop Star and the Pauper is finished, and it is GORGEOUS, I can't stop admiring it. Big ups to Talexior for doing such a fantastic job!

    (Art commissioned from talexior.portfoliobox.io/ who was phenomenally accommodating and nice)

    You can read the first eight chapters of the webnovel free at fracturedheart.net and if you like it, the patreon is only $5 for a full length chapter (usually around 3-5k words) every Friday at patreon.com/FracturedHeartAO :D )

  10. new fic: The hours pass and I’m lost and found

    https://archiveofourown.org/works/86243531

    Shot down. A found family crash-land their starship, and all seems lost.

    ....but hope is not so easily forgotten.

    Hidden away where nobody can find them, they rebuild.

  13. Just finished Project Hail Mary. Weir writes prose that does what only prose can. The film adaptation is great too, but on its own terms. Both formats delivering something unique.

    That’s what I want for books at Kyndred. Character-rich premises, from writers we know and writers nobody knows yet.

    If that sounds like the kind of bookshelf you’d want to read from, you’re in the right place.

  22. Promptober 2025 Day 17: Demons

    Using thepromptfoundry’s Ominous October list.

    Ira Carpenter, having more sexy eldritch horror hijinks. Sexy but not sexual, if you get me.

    CWs: eldritch horror, body horror, tentacles, eye trauma, penetration of eyes, ears & nose (not gory), possession

    ***

    Standing at the railing of the elevated balcony, Ira admires the attendees of the winter masquerade swirling below and the really good wine they’re serving while he watches some kind of quiet drama happening near the far doors of the ball room.

    It’s not his problem tonight. He’s not here to work. But it has been, plenty of times before, so he recognizes the dignified hustle and the veiled alarm in the hosts and a few staff members—somebody’s trying to quietly manage a crisis without disturbing the party.

    For a moment, his curiosity almost sways him to go and ask. He could get away with it; he solved a case for the family last year.

    But someone else catches his eye instead. In a swirling crowd of winter masquerade costumes, the woman in the harlequin ball gown stands out because her mask doesn’t match. Her gown makes her look like the queen of hearts; all bold red and black panels and gold tracing. Her mask is one of those Venetian-style full-face ones, with delicate seashell pinks and blues with silver filigree across the pearly white porcelain.

    Her face is tipped up, and his notion that she’s watching him is confirmed when she raises a hand to give him the come-hither.

    After a moment, he tosses back the rest of his wine and follows. Who is he to turn down serendipity?

    She seems beautiful, at least from what he can tell. That’s one of the joys of a masquerade; anybody could be anything, really, if you just let them be. But it’s easy enough with her; she’s graceful and petite, with a nipped waist and an attractive sway to her hips.

    She lets him catch up to her in a wood-paneled hall to the side of the library. She’s waiting for him when he comes acround the corner—stops him with a dainty gloved hand against his chest, close enough for her skirts to brush against his lower legs. Is he imagining the coquettish tilt of her head? It’s hard to tell with that mask.

    Feeling cheeky, he lowers his head to delicately kiss the porcelain rosebud lips of her mask.

    It seems to encourage her, because she steps forward and reaches up to pull his domino mask off. There’s something erotically hungry in the way she lets it drop, and he isn’t about to complain about the small price.

    She reaches up to pull her mask off in return. Buzzing pleasantly with anticipation, it takes Ira a second to process the gagging sound he hears as it comes away.

    The smooth curve of a cheek, a jaw, the edge of an eyebrow. A swaying stumble of her skirts. Long glistening mucousy strands of…something translucent and jelly-like slithering from her mouth and nose that he doesn’t reel back from fast enough before she’s pressing the mask to his face.

    And then she’s falling to her hands and knees to the side of him, retching. And those jelly-like things are swarming into him.

    They cram into his mouth and up his nose. Worm into his ear canals. He tries to shout and manages only a muffled grunt around them as he feels them probing at his eyelids.

    He can’t pull the mask off his face. When he tries, the things hook into him so he can’t tear it free.

    He trips backwards, flailing, clawing at the fucking things, and feels his shoulders bang against the wall. Squirmy wormy sensations force in beneath his eyelids and writhe in his eye sockets, deeper and deeper, till he swears he can feel them fucking twining around his optical nerves—

    He thinks he hears a shout down the hall—something about a thief—before his hearing goes tinny and muffled as they worm behind his ear drums.

    Into his brain. He gasps and whimpers, and suddenly the horrific parasitic squirming feels…so, so damn good. Full, thrilling, sensual explorations seething through his body to invade and explore him in ways he’s never experienced before.

    Muffled behind the mask and with his mouth crammed full of tentacles, he moans.

    His body pulls itself up off its knees with a grip on the wall’s paneling. He shudders and moans again with their wriggling thrusts deeper into his brain, and his hands tug his clothing straight, fix his mussed hair and brush himself off.

    Shudders that feel like orgasms wrack through him and his legs step forward. He can’t see where he’s going; he can’t hear. But the mask can.

    it stoops for a moment, reaching down with his hand to fish around in warm folds of…clothing? Folds that twitch and jerk away. The woman. Her arm knocks against his as she tries to scramble further away. His hand closes around something small and knobby and hard, about the size of his palm.

    Trapped in his mind with it, blind and deaf, Ira feels its laughter, amused and delighted at his baffled, pleasured fear. It strokes his mind again to send another wave of inescapable pleasure through him, writhing again in his eyes and his ears and sinuses, as it makes him stride, helpless under its power, out of the party, tucking its loot securely away inside his waistcoat.

  26. Which other pieces of media is your work similar to?

    Alright! Let's do this, even if it feels a little embarassing! I of course don't claim to be the new Terry Pratchett or GRRM, but I'm hoping that maybe, if you love what's listed below, Forlorn might bring a smile to your face!

    You might enjoy Forlorn if you love:

    -The Discworld Novels: Okay, listen, Terry Pratchett is like, my favorite author in the world. I think it really shows in Forlorn, with how serious subjects are surrounded by the veil of comedy. Do my characters suffer? Yes. Do they get philosophical? Yes. Do I delve deep into their psyches? Yes. But I try my hardest to keep it all funny, because laughter is an iseparable part of life! That, and quite like Sir Terry's Death, the gods of Forlorn are anthropomorphic personifications of abstract concepts.

    -A Song of Ice and Fire: Now, I'm not saying that Forlorn's world is nearly as gritty as ASOIAF's, or that I will kill off 75% of the main characters before we're done with it, but the setting is no sunshine and rainbows either. The characters suffer, some of the main themes being poverty, hunger, systemic oppression and the trauma of war. That, and Forlorn is also full of worldbuilding mysteries and hidden identities! Did you spend unhealthy amount of time reading up on R+L=J or theories on the possible origins of the Others? Then I'm quite confident that Forlorn will scratch that itch.

    -Steven Universe: An odd choice perhaps? Maybe, considering Forlorn is high fantasy with the target audience of 18-30+, but there are two key similarities, first one being the queerness of it all, of course! The other? As I've mentioned with ASOIAF before, the potential for theorycrafting. Just like Steven Universe, Forlorn is slow at first with revealing the bigger picture of its worldbuilding to you, and that's done entirely on purpose. And if you lost your cool over Rose Quartz being Pink Diamond, just wait to read more about Pilgrim.

    -Avatar: The Last Airbender: First of all? The magic system. Just like Avatar's, Forlorn's consists of distinctly separate elements/domains, each one carrying its own philosophy and impact on the people wielding it. Second - war. The Empire is much like the Fire Nation, holding much of the world in an iron grasp, and a constant threat to those they haven't conquered yet. Just like in ATLA, the war has been there for long before any of our protagonists have been born, so they don't know a world without it. And third - if you loved Zuko's redemption arc, there is a high chance you will enjoy Lirius' too. My boy takes a long time to realize what's the right thing to do and he stumbles along the way a lot. He is not instantly forgiven either.

    -Song of Achilles: Doomed gays who knew each other since childhood. Need I say anything more? If Achilles and Patroclus made you cry, then I am quite sure the main romantic plot of Forlorn will also leave you devastated.

    If any of that convinced you to give it a try, Forlorn is available here on AO3! --> https://archiveofourown.org/works/55294801/chapters/140271541

  27. Forlorn - Chapter 8 - Apprenticeship

    Finally! Oomph, this one was hell to write and it's also Forlorn's longest chapter so far, sitting at almost 4k words!

    In this one, Crow and Arnath at last get to meet Lord Calmbank's ghost - but the job doesn't go as smoothly as they'd like it to.

    You can read it here! --> https://archiveofourown.org/works/55294801/chapters/169144012

    As always, I will be eternally grateful for any comments. To the people who already told me what they think - thank you, you guys are my fuel to keep doing what I'm doing! <3

  29. Hi everyone! My name is Jools and I joined because tumblr made me do it (obviously :D)

    I'm writing my first fantasy novel which can be read on AO3:

    https://archiveofourown.org/works/55294801/chapters/140271541

    Summary:

    "Crow wakes up in a dead, red forest, not remembering a single thing about his life. What he knows, however, is that he is a monster. Between his blackened eye bags, sunken cheeks and grayish skin, there is no denying that.

    Pilgrim has been a monster for the last four centuries. His pale, featureless face, spindly limbs and glimmering claws keep people at bay and that's the way it's supposed to be - until a particularly chatty mercenary decides that monsters need friends just like everyone else.

    Commander Lirius Thanred of the Eternal Empire reflects upon his life and the skeletons in his closet scream at him with full force - it's time to realize that he is a monster as well."

    It's a high fantasy setting, with tons and tons of magic, a protagonist who is rather on the self-conscious and pathetic side and a slowburn queer romance coming later down the line. I hope at least some of you enjoy, and I can't wait to explore this website! Also, introductions feel so terribly awkward ^^'.

  31. CW: Long Post: Original Zine with Writing and Art titled "Glimmers in the Penumbra"

    Glimmers in the Penumbra

    I assembled this zine to collect drabbles written for my D&D group, and I'm sharing it with you all today.

    This is for you,
    @[email protected] , @[email protected] , @[email protected] , @[email protected] , and @[email protected]

    Special thanks to
    @[email protected] for drawing the illustrations used in this zine and for buying my drabble commission slots on behalf of the group. She has made a lot of really cool art for our group and for her character Dia especially, so you should check it out if you like this!

    This was a really fun project. It was great to play in the 100 word limit with different styles and character voices to make something tailored for each character.

    I assembled this zine so that I could make a special and unique home for all of the pieces together. It was put together in Scribus, a free and open source layout tool.

    If you enjoyed this zine, please consider a donation to

    Embodied

    The snow feels wrong. It mushes against the strange pliant dough stretched across her soles, shoots her through with a kind of pain she's never felt before. It bites, metallic, as though she can feel the pinprick of each shard of each snow flake. The air, too, grips her. All of this, wrong. Never before had the winds caused her pain, nor had snow felt anything but pleasant on even her tenderest scales. Winter has abandoned her. It was in her very weft and now all she has is this naked pink putty. No way for a dragon to live.

    Dia Istehar

    [Includes an illustration of Dia holding herself in a gust of snow and wind.]

    L’Enfer

    Fire's heat. Warms, tickles, crisps. Pleasure becomes pain. Sears, destroys, consumes. Ashes to ashes.

    Vous qui entrez, abandonnez toute espérance.

    No way to snuff a forest fire once it's caught hot and tall, naught but to let the blaze run out. A heart is like that. A little fire you can throw water over, but the burn in him grows fast. All you can do is get out the way.

    Watch for smoke.

    What's a flame want? Nothing but to burn. Bright and hot, alive until it's out. Doesn't care what's burning, where or how. But a man's heart? Well.

    L’Enfer - The Inferno Vous qui entrez, abandonnez toute espérance. - Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

    Song of the Princess

    She is come from a castle in a far away land, from a lineage ruling for generations.

    Hath traveled the lands in great odyssey, and suffered many a hardship and poverty.

    O Princess, Sweetest Briar with thorns sharp, stand strong against despair. Nobility is not in gold but in heart and deed and bearing. Retain thy grace and thy dignity. Fear not the dark and the wicked, for thou art puissant. Magic courseth through thy veins as fish in a stream.

    Know that one day thou wilt reclaim thy birthright. So sayeth this poem, written in serenade of a princess.

    Briar Allaire

    [Includes an illustration of Briar, regal in a crown.]

    Idle Musing

    Life should be fun. Things would be far too boring without a bit of mischief to keep it interesting, ya know? Just a dash like spice in the stew. Nothing serious, maybe swipe a shiny here or snack there.

    Things can change pretty fast out on the road though. It gets scary out there, with monsters and bad guys. Sometimes I think I should have just stayed home.

    But hey, one minute you're strumming along up and down the strings of a bouzouki, tickling the melody to and fro, and bam! Out comes the zouka. Didn't expect that, didja spookies?

    Sacrament

    "Go and sin no more."

    The other man, the one on the other side of the wooden screen, knows what a joke it is. He says it anyway, and manages not to laugh. It's procedure after all.

    A rosary and an extra Our Father. A man's life snuffed out, his blood on the stone, and all Lucere needs to do is mumble some words.

    Done in God's name, isn't it a Holy act?

    And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

    Deliverance won't come, but so too will he sin again. He always has and always will.

    Just World Fallacy

    Let us consider the situation rationally. Which situation is more likely?

    The first, that I was conceived by two emotionally stunted people unprepared for the maturity, care, and mundane sacrifices of parenthood? That I lived at the whims of a man who took out rage and fear on his vulnerable son? That my mother could bring me into the world but shrink my existence so small in her heart that she could ignore it? That suffering is largely beyond our control and the world is fundamentally unfair?

    Or that I am unloveable and it's my fault?

    The answer is obvious.

    Knight in Shining Armor

    My face mirrored in a gleaming scale. I chased it like the glint of oasis after days walking parched sands. Was it a mirage? I follow its path and come no closer, but the image does not fade. Still there, out of reach, ever on the horizon.

    What is she really like? I've imagined her on the highest pedestal, with every sublime virtue, and in the deepest depravity, with every foul cruelty. Perhaps she is simply a well-meaning fool, doing her best.

    Do I truly want to know? Would the mirage dissolve, and would that be for good or ill?

  32. I finished my 'alt timeline' version of Piers' story finally. I'm quite pleased with it. It's a ROUGH ride but ends in a more kind yet open/ambiguous way than I figured it would.

    Mind the content warnings; though I made sure to write it TASTEFULLY.

    How it's going with the Piers story right now.

    He's doing well I think.

    You can read up to chapter 11 here; mind the content warnings: archiveofourown.org/works/5658

  37. I hadn't been able to (re)post on here about my DOPE story, but since today I have just updated the last chapter for it--maybe now give it a gander since the beginning :meru_catface:

    DOPE is written from Magnus' POV. In this last chapter, how will he and Astemar leave each other at the end of the story?
