#Nightsilk The privacy screen between himself and the door was a thrilling little temptation of fate. "If you are decent―" "Rarely," Laethe interrupted, grinning around the rim of an elegant, falcon-stamped teacup. #WIP #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity
Welcome to a new week of #WIPSnips! The word for August 3rd is "thrill" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
#Nightsilk Such an obvious question shouldn't have pricked at his skin and threaded under it. But it was the way Xanthys framed it, the way his bitter expression anticipated some selfish motive, the very worst. #WIP #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity Thorny vibes today.
The #WIPSnips word for August 2nd is "thorn" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
#Nightsilk Surely, as riddled with idiocy as he most certainly was, it was Fallon whose actions were incoherent. In this one thing, Xanthys was sure his inferior intellect was not to blame. #WIP #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity (Not me being contrarian with INcoherent!)
The #WIPSnips word for August 1st is "coherent" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
#TSS It wasn't always easy, making coherent stories out of the ever-shifting fragments of illogical dreams. Sometimes, when he encountered one that would make a compelling tale, he exerted his own will to shore up the dreaming and keep it stable throughout. #WIP #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity
The #WIPSnips word for August 1st is "coherent" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
#Nightsilk How such a man exuded softness and delicacy was a twist of the mind too tight for Xanthys to follow. He shook it off, externally narrowing the instinct to a flick of his head. #WIP #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity
The #WIPSnips word for July 31st is "twist" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
#TSS A sharp rap on wood alerted him moments before the guards who were his jailers, enforcers, and protectors entered from the service corridor and swept the chamber. As though he had anywhere to go, or could set traps with his twisted hands. A diligent pair, his daylight minders. #WIP #WIPSnips

#Nightsilk slid the jade cup back toward the center of the table. “Might I help you relax another way? A massage?” Turning down the tea was necessary, but if he couldn’t accept even the relaxation of a massage, he should get up and walk out the door before he wasted anyone’s time. #WIP #WIPSnips
The #WIPSnips word for July 30th is "relax" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
#TSS Suzu draped his silken black hair over the rim of the tub as he settled on the bench, relaxing into the warm water. He hummed a rare noise of contentment, his thighs going lax. In the wake of his exercise, the water was a true blessing. #WIP #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity

100%, without a shadow of a doubt, this award goes to my himbo general from #Nightsilk: Xanthys Alocar (Fun fact: Xanthys has developed a habit of talking to and confiding in carp―and occasionally threatening to cook them up for their human counterpart's transgressions.) #WIP #WritingCommunity

Been down with a "typical summer cold." Onjy, it's been anything but typical. First, my cough quickly turned into cascades that stop me from getting air until my body regurgitates to open the airway. I almost always get sinus infection with any cold nowadays. And this time, a bad ear infection. 1
#Nightsilk 🌶️ “You’d like that, wouldn’t you?” Nightsilk retorted, his deep, eloquent voice frayed at the edges. “For me to moan myself stupid, dashing against your muscles until I break?” #WIP #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity
The #WIPSnips word for July 23rd is "dash" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#Nightsilk 🌶️🌶️ Fallon was ready for the grand finale in short order, while Nightsilk was still playing the overture. Gently parting from Fallon‘s kiss with a slow tension, his intense touch faded to the light weight of an idle thumb. #WIP #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity
The #WIPSnips word for July 22nd is "grand" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
#TSS His blood gushed in his veins, fresh perspective overturning the stale view of the grand chambers that were his curse and his cage. His knees clutched the narrow pole of his perch, allowing him to swing freely without falling. #WIP #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity
The #WIPSnips word for July 22nd is "grand" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
#TSS He would have preferred to face eastward for his morning exercise, but that veranda had been walled in to ward off prying eyes. Even the palace residents were not freely permitted to view their sovereign. #WIP #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity
The #WIPSnips word for July 21st is "pry" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
#Nightsilk Too raw. Too exposed. He knew it. He had known it upon their first exchange―that Xanthys was just the right kind of dangerous to turn the tables on him and pry apart his secrets. #WIP #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity
The #WIPSnips word for July 21st is "pry" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
#Nightsilk The lengthy pause that followed conjured all sorts of amusing scenes in Laethe's mind. He went so far as to consider that even a scowl would look handsome on the stoic general's face before Xanthys finally spoke. #WIP #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity unfazed→stoic
Welcome to a new week of #WIPSnips! The word for today is "unfazed" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
#TSS When she finally retreated, already at risk of discovery, Sono resettled himself. He could not cover his body anew, but was unbothered by the fresh breath of the spring morning. #WIP #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity unfazed → unbothered
Welcome to a new week of #WIPSnips! The word for today is "unfazed" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
#TSS By way of answer, he shrugged off Natsune's stabilizing grip and raised one knee, pushing himself up with only a slight waver. His pride was born of divine right, and no maiming or humiliation could tear that from him. Natsune nodded approval and retreated a pace to give him room. #WIPSnips
The #WIPSnips word for July 19th is "divine" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
#Nightsilk Brimming with enthusiasm, Lord Estravada leaned in, brushing the silk at Nightsilk‘s hip with proprietary ease. “Exquisite,” he murmured, loud enough for the gathering to hear. “You spoil us.” #WIP #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity divine → exquisite
The #WIPSnips word for July 19th is "divine" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
#Nightsilk "It's just a name," he grumbled to the hapless carp swishing around after bugs at the surface. Buzzing and gliding one moment, swallowed under the next. Xanthys could commiserate. #WIP #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity
The #WIPSnips word for July 18th is "next" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
#TSS When next he woke, after the sun, Jinya felt bright and refreshed. It seemed as though he had slept too deeply to dream. And yet, he had dreamed of Yanagi-Kodama nursing him tenderly and telling fantastic tales. #WIP #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity

#TSS When the words ran dry and night settled his cloak over the land, other pursuits gained urgency. The northern veranda beckoned, witnessed only by the moonlight. #WIP #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity Using "gain" today in place of "acquire."
The #WIPSnips word for July 17th is "acquire" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
#Nightsilk Stunned in Fallon's sweeping wake, Xanthys could only grasp at straws. Of course he was an idot. Fallon was the last person to figure that out. But why this? What could Fallon possibly have to gain by pushing Xanthys into the arms of a storied lover? #WIP #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity
The #WIPSnips word for July 17th is "acquire" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
#Nightsilk 🌶️ Breath high, pale cheeks flushed, Fallon gazed at him like he was the last drop of rain in the noon desert. Still fully dressed, he could not have presented a more erotic picture in his need. “We need not rush, Fallon. The night has barely begun,” Nightsilk murmured. #WIP #WIPSnips
The #WIPSnips word for July 16th is "rush" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
