Nikalas Greyson & Mallory Forbane He’d been teasing her.
How he’d found her childhood journal, Mallory would probably never know. What had possessed the creature over a thousand years old to read her childhood journal, Mallory was certain she’d never understand. All she cared about, in that moment, was making sure he didn’t read any more of it. Especially aloud!

[Redacted] & Madeline Hail The warm press of her lips against the corner of my mouth almost rose me from sleep.
My eyes cracked open to stare up at Maddy, her cascade of long blonde hair a waterfall around us, casting her features into shadow. The fluttering sound of her wings echoed around the room as she shifted on the bed, and I could feel a frown of question, of concern, fighting through my sleep-addled mind. A tender brush of her fingers smoothed it away before it could fully form. “Falling in love with you would be the death of me...” Reilly Mosswolf & Stella Korazon The silence was deafening.
Reilly hadn’t said anything since they’d escaped the estate by the skin of their teeth. A crossbow bolt had torn through Stella’s cloak, but she’d managed to twist out of its path, dragging Reilly down a side street and using narrow passageways known only to the thieves to escape. But escape they had, and she couldn’t figure out why Reilly still felt so tense at her side. Why she could practically see the glare being directed at her, even though his face was hidden in the shadows. It was only when he pulled her to a stop halfway back to the guild, that she began to realise it was fear that had held his tongue. Relief that made his hands shake. Andric Roche & Lizzy Hail Months ago, Andric wouldn’t have known where to look for her. When the discussions became too heated, and Lizzy needed space to breathe and quiet to think, she would have slipped out the door and Andric would have needed to rely on Booker’s connection to her mind to find her, and make sure she was safe.
Now, he knew he simply had to seek out the nearest source of running water. Her attention stayed fixed out towards the horizon as she watched the ebb and flow of the ocean, but she’d sensed his approach because she didn’t so much as flinch when Andric’s arms curled around her waist. Jack Sanger & Krysis Krysis didn’t remember the last time she’d allowed rain to touch her physical form. The icy cold seeping through her clothes, the water clinging to her eyelashes forcing her to blink, sending droplets scattering down her cheeks.
But Jack’s hand in hers had pulled her into the physical, even as he pulled them into a run, and directed them through the door into his home. Booker Reed & Cara Evelyn Lila was avoiding him.
Booker had expected it because they’d fought, and despite her unruly temper, there was little Lila hated more than fighting with him. But that left Booker adrift in a school of vampires, with nothing to ground him, and he found himself drawing closer and closer to the outcast girl they’d encountered their first night at the school. Cara. Lizzy’s roomate. This updates a little later in the month that I usually like, but we're on the final day of August and I wanted to keep you all in the loop on the things that are happening right now. Are we all ready for this update? Oh good! Let's dig in... Since my last update...I gave a brief update on the progress of Changeling at the beginning of August, but the last time I did a proper update was the middle of July.
I was neck deep in Camp Nanowrimo, and the UK was in fighting through a record breaking heatwave. I'm pleased to say I survived the weather (just) and that Changeling's first draft was completed! I got a huge majority of the words down in July, a nice 72k, and finished up the final five or six chapters during the first 11 days of August. Since then I've been alternating between Changeling Edits, and the first few chapters of it's sequel, Darkling... How Do Your Writing Exercises Work? Essentially, I go to a “Single Word Prompt Generator” and have it throw a random word at me. Then I go to Unsplash.com and use that word to search their database of images, and scroll through for something that catches my attention.
This may be something where I simply want to describe what’s in the image, or maybe it sparks a small story nugget in my brain. Regardless, I then take the picture and post it here, with credit, and proceed to write for 15 minutes. Whatever I produce, I share with you lovely people. Unedited. Typos are to be expected. Word Prompt: Heat Tumblr's OCKiss22 Event looked like a good way to get the writing muscles working again.
