Thrythlind (He/Him/They) - Basic necessities shouldn't bankrupt@thrythlind.bsky.social · 6d ago

Probably not exactly what you mean #lesficfri but been writing a RWBY fanfic where Weiss is a faunus and hasn't realized it her entire life and this is the point Blake realizes Weiss doesn't know. Is leading to a polycule, but doing slow burn... lots of handholding through trauma at moment.

It was late by the time they got back to the dorms. Yang entered the room ahead of them, stretching out and yawning. “You know, something I haven’t figured out?” Yang said. “What’s that?” Ruby asked. The blonde turned to look at Weiss. “What was Blake talking about when she told you that ‘not everybody can just pass’?” Blake’s eyes widened as she turned toward the white-haired girl. “Oh, damn. Weiss. I’m…” Weiss shrugged. “I don’t know. I was too focused on … everything else to figure that out.” The cat faunus blinked and stared at Weiss. “You don’t know what I meant?” “No. Why would I?” Weiss shrugged and glowered through the combination of fatigue and stress. “You… you don’t know.” Blake repeated. “That’s what I said.” Weiss agreed. “What am I supposed to know?” Blake’s eyes widened slowly as the situation clarified in front of her. She shakily pointed at Weiss. “You don’t know.” “Yeah, I think we’ve established that. Are you okay, Blake?” Yang moved forward to look the cat faunus in the face. “Is something wrong?” Ruby asked. Blake nodded fervently. “Yes. A lot. Uh, Weiss, just… uh sit here. Don’t go to sleep yet. I’ve got to go find Velvet.” The cat faunus darted back to the door. “Hey! We just found you!” Weiss shouted.

It's already #LesFicFri in my timezone 😁 Fresh! Fresh! Fresh! Brand new chapter being *currently written*. A couple of beta readers asked for a new scene previously only hinted at. Who am I to refuse them 😅 "smile" from A Prayer for the Pirate Queen 🏴‍☠️ 💜 ⚓️ currently in third draft revisions

"Captain." There she was. Kallista didn't turn at once, letting the velvet of Geni's voice sliding over her ears suffice for the moment. Saints, how was she to stand it all day?  She would. She would be friendly and professional and keep things entirely sensible between them. Her smile lost its keen edge, turning tender. "Kallista today," she corrected, turning at last.

Happy #lesficfri! A story within a story, the words that Elara pens a manifestation of her wish. Little does she know, though, that it's the start of something more... ^^ (and she'll be smiling a lot later on) books2read.com/u/4AABOo issy-waldrom.itch.io/heart

Cover of Heart's Claim by Issy Waldrom, with the following excerpt: Just a glance. A look. Stolen across the room, at a stranger sitting there. Alone, glass held in their hands, half full, the liquid a deep red, almost glinting in the sunlight as a stray ray danced in front of them. Silky black hair, deep brown eyes, lips painted in a ruby red. Moist lips curled into the sort of SMILE that you could drown in. Entrancing and beautiful. Their eyes catching, for but a moment, darting away just as quickly. A spark, a feeling. Intrigue? Perhaps something more? She could feel herself blush, heat rising to her cheeks as she fumbled with her own glass, trying to take a drink, but instead managing to spill some on the table in front of her. A red stain that slowly spread out, marring the pure white...

#lesficfri I was just telling a friend the other day that I love the expression "withering gaze" so much, I use it like three times per scene. It's not *quite* that bad, but it's still very much an author appeal kind of thing! A N G E R Y

Khamsin ignores, or, in her frenzy, fails to perceive her words. Rather, she thunders down the palace's corridors like a rampaging beast in formal dress, in large and unnervingly rhythmic bounds, forcing her attendant into a jog just to keep up. The corridors twist and turn before her; servants that cross her path slide behind the nearest doors, and foppish scions press themselves against the sandstone walls, and guards remove their chitin helmets and salute, but keep their eyes down, as if the princess's gaze withered more than just the soul. Outside, the sandstorm, so close to subsiding, blows with renewed vigor.

Steve "Never tell me the odds!" Turnbull@taupress.com · last mo.

#LesFicFri "ANGRY" Context: They are onboard a ship, and the dragon needs feeding. They will be passing some islands but the ship won't stop. From THE DRAGON OF WATER by Steve Turnbull, Book 3 of THE DRAGONS OF THE WOUNDED LAND #sapphic #lesFic #writingCommunity #wlw #writing #reading

Back in their cabin, Miralees had to argue with the other two about them accompanying her. But she was adamant. The Ruthelin girl did not complain but her lack of communication indicated how much she disliked the idea. Eftena might not have a voice but she kept slamming her palm on the table, alternately angry and sad. Until it became clear Miralees would not be moved. “Now that is resolved, I do have another, and I hope better, plan.” She went to a cupboard and dug out the divination cards. She was almost reluctant to touch them after her last painful experience. She went through them one at a time until she found the chariot drawn by the two gryphons. She laid it out on the table. “Yelantera empowers this before I leave, I will carry it with me and when we want to return home I will think of you—” she looked at Eftena “—and put the enchantment on Copper. He will bring me back to you as fast as he can.”

'That means I could be going into a war!' Tehvay thought, but she did not give voice to her sudden concern. She didn't want to end an otherwise pleasant evening on such a serious note. 'Besides, there's nothing I can do about it; I go where she goes.' #LesFicFri #OrionSpurSeries

#LesFicFri "serious" from A Prayer for the Pirate Queen 🏴‍☠️💜⚓️ currently in third draft revisions... (A rare short one from me today!) The doctor gulped so loud, Kallista could hear it. She would have laughed, if the circumstances hadn't been so serious.
