#SumLuv I’m demisexual, but I have ADHD and maybe autism. It’s a deeply uncomfortable time. Lust, however? Kink is a cheat code here. Shy people look *down* and spicy tickling is a speciality of mine. Tack catches Quill ogling him and dances barefoot with him. 1/2 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

He also has a strong affinity for machine life, coming from Earth where robots keep humanity 'safe'. He never really had a choice but to fall for Rune. Here's a quick snip that I like a lot and that neatly demonstrates their early rapport. 🌶️ CW: They are talking about experimental sex.

[Can’t you just ask the Accord for their research on your systems? I’m sure they know plenty already.][I have submitted such a request,] said Rune. [However, my external signal capacity is currently reduced due to an unknown source of interference, and my message has not been successfully received.]Marcus frowned. Hopefully the same interference wouldn’t stop his friends from RKON sending over his memories later. [That’s probably the press setting up for today’s big event. Their equipment likely makes a lot of interference. I’m sure the Council will get around to sorting that out before we set off. Alright, in that case…]He sighed. He really didn’t want to suggest this, but if it was going to keep Rune happy…[You could ask Hal. He might be up for helping you experiment. He’s a lot more, um…][Morally flexible?][Confident with sex,] he continued, stifling a smirk. [He might be comfortable with a casual, scientific fling with a stranger, if you asked nicely.][Tactical Officer Halcyon of the House of Pinnacle is insufficient,] said Rune. [You are a more ideal research collaborator.][I am? Why?]Rune hesitated. [I have planned to speak to you on that at another time, when you are not so busy counteracting your superior officer.]Marcus grinned. [It’s because we’re friends, isn’t it?][If that will encourage you to assist me in my experimentation,] Rune said, [then certainly. We are friends. Please help me, my friend Marcus.]

Graphic featuring the cover for Omega Squad by Julie March surrounded by text. The cover shows a shirtless man from the shoulders up, lifting a ring light over his head like a Halo. The background is several red moons in a line. White futuristic text reads "Omega Squad by Julie March: Archives of the VerdTech Resistance." White text surrounding the cover reads: "El problema es el capitalismo", "disabled wrath," "class solidarity in space Appalachia," "one whump after another," "gang of outcasts," "the power of friendship and these bombs we built," "chapter titles!," "the horrors persist but so does Cary (somehow)". At the bottom are two links reading: JulieMarchBooks.itch.io and Books2Read.com/Omega-Squad.

#AwesomeCharacters Raven's would be all about kills. It would be very gruesome about how hard it is to kill zombies. She doesn't like the history books making wars and battles sound glorious and fun. Trig would get Percy to help him. It would be written like a fairy tale, he loves telling stories.

#WIPSnips Virgil ran to the bathroom and vomited and Alexia attempts comforting him. The first night they slept in the room with Blake, she subconsciously started tasting his neck. Like a tiger. Blake was... distracted as she rests in the nude. Then Sergei, also asleep, did the same. 🤣 #WriteSky

“Look, just so we’re on more level ground with each other, I’ll tell you this: My subconscious did make me reach out for Blake but, I woke up after a few minutes.” “Why didn’t you stop?” Virgil titled his head. Alexia reached out to touch the face that wasn’t in the mirror and sighed. “I haven’t held someone in my arms for a very long time. Blake’s not my type, but he was warm and sweet on my tongue. I knew it was probably giving him a thrill he wouldn’t forget too, so what was the harm?” Alexia’s face was sad, but a wide grin began to spread across it. “I almost died again when Sergei joined in. Does that help?”

#SumLuv I think I do more of a "preemptive strike." They get dumbstruck by lust first. Kinks make that easy. 😆 Sky (Good Boys Don't Howl) runs an S&M club, he aims for "Lust at First Sight." Quill tries not to stare, but Tack *likes" being ogled so he baits him. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

#AwesomeCharacters Raven is used to being made fun of, being little, wearing trousers, she brushes it all off, and doesn't let it bother her. Trig is a bit more sensitive. He doesn't care most of the time, but it still stings and bothers him to be called stupid, or that he can't read or write.

A man with shoulder length red hair, wearing a midriff-baring top with exposed shoulders and a blue fur trimmed jacket, wearing a string of pearls, and looking sad, is being kissed by a grinning curly haired blonde man with glasses wearing a laced shirt as the sun rises behind them through the window.

#SumLove My star trek story has a few couplings, but one of my favourites is Wyd and Feylie. Wyd is based on a character from @barrows.itch.io First Light books. Wyd is a lizard man and a sweetie. Feylie is a faun type alien. She is very fun and protective of Wyd. They are very cute together.

#AwesomeCharacters #👑🗡️ Sebastian and Darin parted ways when they were teenagers, after Darin realized that he was falling in love with the prince. Sebastian, meanwhile, felt the same way, and this separation crushed him. They don't see each other again until Sebastian almost died 12 years later.

Besides, surely kissing the Crown Prince was some kind of crime. He was betrothed, wasn’t he? Engaged to another, presumably a girl, given his nobility and the whole bloodline nonsense. But Darin couldn’t help but feel selfish, at least for the evening. He remembered seeing Sebastian’s circlet gleam silver. He saw the way his eyes sparkled in his excitement when he took his hands. So, Darin rubbed at his lower lip with his thumb, coaxed him to relax, and leaned in again. Prince Sebastian’s lips were soft, warm, especially the second time they met and locked. And the third. And the fourth. His breaths were short. Darin was the one to deepen the kiss, to feel the prince shiver, to hear his sweet hums of bliss. He ran his fingers through his hair. He felt the prince cling to him, drawing him near. Darin was the one to experience something that most could only dream of. He was the one to press the young royal against the nearest wall, to allow him to lose all sense of time and self for just one sweet moment. A moment between them when neither were separated by class or status, when Darin wasn’t just a lowly pawn vulnerable before his future king. It was as Sebastian’s fingers started to curl into his tunic that Darin realized he was going too far. To part from him left him frigid, but this was how it had to be. Even if Sebastian wasn’t destined to be married to a monarch that would bear his heirs, Darin was nothing compared to the likes of him. Sebastian was dazed, breathless. “Darin?” “I must go.” Darin had stepped back, ready to flee the way he’d been snuck in. “No, wait!” He took hold of his hand. “Please? I do not want you to leave.” “I must.” He shrugged himself away, even as it hurt. “It’s best if I stop seeing you, Your Highness.”
