Commissioned Art — Phoenix

I commissioned some Phoenix artwork a few days ago, and I thought what better to commission than an image from chapter 9’s fancy gala! So here’s your early access of it!I really love it so let me know what you think. And as a bit extra, here’s the commissioned are of Phoenix and Kaidan together.

Distraction ⇢ A Dempsey

A only merely misses the punch Zeren throws their way.The two of them have been at it for hours: striking, dodging, circling each other, and A’s used to all of that, but now something feels… different.Zeren flicks the wisps of dark hair out of her face. “Is it just me?” Strike. “Or is Athena’s most prized descendant getting sloppy?”They don’t even bother rolling their eyes. A knows Zeren’s tactics by now: get under her opponent’s skin and, ultimately, win. “Please. I wouldn’t know sloppy if it slapped me in the face.” ...

Update — 26.

There isn’t much of a writing update for a few reasons. For starters, I’ve had the flu for the past few days and it has not been fun, it totally wiped me out and I’m only just recovering. It’s also my final year of my undergraduate degree so assignments have been piling up and my dissertation is due in March so the clock is ticking! Onto writing stuff, I’ve had a bit of a writer’s block for the past few weeks. It’s frustrating because I know the stuff after the final scene I need to write up will be really good. There’s a platon...

Caution ⇢ K de la Renta

“I like you.”It’s been months since the two of you cracked the murder mystery that was hanging over your heads, even longer since you and K actually met for the first time. When you spend that much time with someone, platonic feelings can develop into something more.The statement you’ve just thrown into the air shouldn’t surprise K, yet it sort of does. Even worse, gets their heart racing, their mouth ajar as you sit across one another on the LIS rooftop.K avoids your gaze, keeps their fixated on the sky that’s changing from a light...

Hello, and happy new year! I hope you all had a lovely holiday season and the start of 2023 has been magical for you (<- P&#39;s speciality!), and if not, I&#39;m positive the year is going to get much better for you.So, just over a week ago I released Golden&#39;s short specials publicly and people seemed to like them which was lovely. When there&#39;s another Golden milestone, whether that be followers, ros&#39; birthdays, or whenever I get a burst of inspiration —I&#39;ll happily release another collection of stories — if that&#39;s some...

Update — 24.

Hello, I hope you&#39;re all doing well.I have a bit of a surprise announcement. I&#39;ve been planning this for literally months!So, with university assignments and exams fast approaching, December is an extremely busy month so even though I wanted to release chapter 10 of Golden before the year is out — that won&#39;t be possible.However, for months I&#39;ve been planning a series of short stories for both Golden and Before Dusk Sets In. So, overall, nine stories, one for each RO that&#39;s in third person. These short stories will be inter...

Next RO Drabble

Which POV ro drabble would you like to read next? It&#39;ll be the scene in the LIS lounge before the MC arrives for the gala.

Tangled Web [a short story] — Happy Birthday, L Corrales

Tangled Web [a short story] 2.1k words.⇢ what starts off as a mission turns into something much more... oh, and there are cookies.Happy (almost!) birthday, L! L is very much an interesting and complex character with a whole load of layers to uncover, here you&#39;ll get to see their sweet, worried, confident and selfless side. They just need a little bit of love every now and then.I hope you enjoy this. Please tell me what you think.—L huffs. “This feels like a stake out.”“That’s because this is a stake out,” you murmur back, turn...

Ride ⇢ K de la Renta

Realistically, K hadn’t exactly offered to wait for you, but they hadn’t drawn the short straw for the task either. They don’t mind, truly.Though, despite their confident facade, they can probably admit to themselves that just by looking at you they feel a little on edge. A whole load of emotions engulf them at once. Guilt, sadness, sorrow, empathy… those are all the feelings K can make out, but there are others there too. Positive ones. A dose of happiness, the type that tingles over your skin. The type that would get them smiling and ...

It&#39;s been a bit of time since the release of chapter nine now and I&#39;d like to think it was a success!I&#39;ve already started writing chapter ten, I know from the plans I have that it&#39;s going to be my favourite chapter to read and write and fingers crossed I can get it out within a good time frame (e.g., not almost a whole goddamn year!).Thanks so much for the support you&#39;ve been giving me, and I truly think chapter ten will be the best chapter I&#39;ve written, so I can&#39;t wait for you to read that.It will be a continuation ...

Update 22.

I&#39;ve been up since 5am, got over 40k words written in 14 days! I honestly thought I&#39;d never be able to tell you that I&#39;ve finished writing chapter nine (you guys are the first to know)! I went through a lot with it, and with the year I&#39;ve had, clutching onto joyous moments is everything and this is one of those moments.I promise this next update is going to be a good one! <3And a fun tidbit for the demo update that&#39;ll be out soon: you can choose your ROs&#39; gender!Thank you so much for your support! I can finally show you ...

Update 21.

I&#39;m finally writing again and it feels absolutely amazing!I know I posted an update on Tumblr and on the forums first, but I wanted to give a vague one to the public and a much more detailed one here.Over the past two days, I&#39;ve written a few thousand words. I jumped right back into A and B&#39;s scenes. I finished off the first scene for both of them where you have the opportunity to meet a new character. The scenes between the two ROs are slightly different in terms of how it ends as there is a POV scene for one, and not for the other...

Update 20.

Hello, hope you&#39;re all doing okay.I&#39;d first like to say a huge thank you to all of you for sticking by me. I&#39;m going through the most difficult time in my life right now with the passing of my grandmother whom I was very close to. My family and I are going through the tough grieving process.I haven&#39;t written anything for over a month due to this, and university starts next week, but I am hoping to get back into writing by working on Golden again and through drabbles.I know I&#39;ve been super flaky, but thank you for your unders...

Peace Offering ⇢ A Dempsey

Maybe it’s a clash of personalities or the obvious difference between us… they’re supernatural and I’m not. But it’s easier to go for the former, A’s personality isn’t easy to grasp. A’s rude, insensitive, stubborn – and maybe a million other negative adjectives under the sun.So, of course, A’s personality change was surprising. Not drastically. I’m still accustomed to their sarcastic quips and quick eye rolls, though A’s kinder, caring and ultimately, that’s what caused the disagreement between us.I let out a sigh bef...

— a little update.

Hi, hello! You may have noticed that I&#39;ve been very quiet on here and on the forums, so here&#39;s an update for all of that.I said in a previous progress update that my grandmother was extremely ill and in hospital, and last week she, unfortunately, passed away. Even before that, I was having a hard time and this added to it has made things very difficult in my life.Chapter nine is still at the same point that it was, a little over halfway done but university will start again next month, so that&#39;s going to give me less time to write an...

Commissioned Art — Kaidan

I’m personally in a desperate need of serotonin and looking at this piece of artwork of Kaidan i commissioned back in June gives me just that! I thought I’d give you early access and share it with you all before it’s posted on Tumblr.

Update 17.

This isn&#39;t the most fun update for me to post.My grandmother was rushed to hospital last week and has been diagnosed with a bilateral brain haemorrhage so my time has been spent at the hospital, really. I spend around 6 hours at the hospital and come back home and feel extremely tired and go to sleep. I wake up the next day and do the same.I&#39;d love to be able to say she&#39;s on course for a full recovery, but my family and I have been told to prepare for the worst.Writing has still been an outlet for me, and it&#39;s something that I&#...

Bet [a short story] — Happy Birthday Blaire/Blaze!

Bet [a short story]⇢ start the day off with a bet and see what it unravels from the past.Happy birthday to my favourite werewolf!B is definitely the most underrated out of the four ROs and deserves lots of love. I&#39;d like to think that those romancing B are in for a treat and will have the best time doing so. There&#39;s nothing wrong with being soft and kind in a hard world.Hope you enjoy this short story for their birthday, do tell me what you think.—“Way to turn this day on its head, B,” you mutter as you turn to them.They let out...

Zeren — fun, supernatural side character ;)

Moon Phases ⇢ B Holden

To no surprise, university days can be rather tiring. I find myself watching the clock tick, counting down the minutes until I’m able to leave the crowded lecture hall. At the front of the hall the professor drones on, admittedly, I lost all interest in what she was saying about an hour ago – because her voice is so monotone, along with my mind drifting to a certain werewolf.The last of the professor’s words I hang on to are ‘you may go’. Instantly I get up from my seat, and a sigh of relief leaves my lips as I throw my bag over my sh...

Update 16.

Hello, hope you’re all doing well. I’ve been rather quiet on here which I do apologise for, but I’ve been having a lot of personal life issues going on which has definitely taken a toll on me mentally. I have been getting a bit of writing done, not as much as I’d like to but it’s there! With K and P’s scenes done, I was going to move on to B’s but then I decided to write B’s and A’s at the same time. Mentally it’s helping me think that I’ll get through writing the scenes faster—I expect each scene will be around 10-11k w...

Sneak Peek — 8.

Update 15.

P&#39;s scene is done!It&#39;s over 11k words and interesting, I think. Depending on your choices, you can see their magic in action, well, read about it because the magic happens in a scene that’s in their point of view. It was a very fun scene to write, and those who are romancing P will like it, I think ;)There are so many choices and options for all types of reactions: you can learn more about P, about the supernatural world, other Golden lore, what the next steps will be in terms of what is now a murder mystery.My plans are to start and ...
