✨ hi!! welcome to my domain ✨

about me

my name's Cee, I use she/they pronouns, and I'm from Lithuania :) I write almost exclusively fantasy, often together with romance. Besides writing, I like to draw, so I may post some art later down the line, too. I'm trying to use tumblr more to mingle with the writing community on here, so I'm always on the lookout for more writer friends!! I also really like tag games, so feel free to tag me in any!! sign up to my newsletter to receive the first chapter of When White Crows Cry :)) my rather old writeblr intro

my works

WHEN WHITE CROWS CRY - an adult queer romantic fantasy set in a secondary world. It features a hard science-based magic system, an academical community as the ruling class, magical afflictions with no (legal) cure, and is primarily character-driven. It has themes of mental deterioration, bodily autonomy, death and grieving, the grey morality of science. For an actual summary of the story and more details, check out the links below: WIP intro Characters intros Worldbuilding Writing Art General WIP tag A CASE STUDY ON IMMOLATION - prequel to When White Crows Cry. An adult dark academia fantasy. It features pretty much the same as above, but is about scientific hubris, or, the rise and fall of prodigies. It's a dark academia focused on academia and its inherent consuming nature. Also has a good dose of human experimentation <3 For an actual summary and further details, check the link below: WIP intro General WIP tag

let me know if you wanna be added to the taglist :)

Chin lift to make you look directly at their eyes that just make you follow aimlessly and without much force really. (bonus if they kiss afterward)

thank you for the prompt :3 💕 bonus if Astrea and Alek kiss after this? Your wish is my command, my love 💕

Bloodless Heir Book 2: Leviathan Wakes | Character Exploration Astrea x Alek | Comfort x Soft Dancing | WC: 1.3k

Context: After Astrea and Elijah get separated. Astrea gets found/rescued by Pyrian Heir Alek first. Not knowing anything about him, she doesn't see the fuss about the bad rumors about him. Her first and only impression of him at this point is saving the life of her friend Téa.

.

"Excuse me? You don't know how to dance?" Astrea lifted an eye to him, watching him read from his little book, lounging on a small couch. "You've made it this far... Without knowing?"

#RAHHHHH OMG THEY.........🥹🥹🥹#fuckkk they're so cute#I'm over here giggling and kicking my feet#Alek is sooooo gone omg AND FOR GOOD REASON#hell I would be too#Astrea is irresistable oh my godddd#Alek imagining them in a ballroom....all eyes on them......rahhhhh#and Astrea again with the wiseness#you gotta know the customs of your people!!! you gotta know how to DANCE#so real and true#bro I love them omg#others' writing

Answering this Prompt Game ••• [ STRADDLE ] : while sparring, A gains the upper hand and pins B in place, straddling their waist in the process.

Bloodless Heir Book 2: Leviathan Wakes | First Meetings / Impressions | Alek x Astrea | WC: 950

Part 1 [Astrea Meets Alek] ••• Part 2

Context: Just after Alek rescues Astrea, she stays in his camp until she and her friend recover. Only Alek seems to know who she is, and her birth origins. A secret kept from his men. A secret she knows, if exposed, might turn her into a prisoner and sent to The Usurper, Hadrien. Alek knows Hadrien would kill her. But Alek needs her alive. So, the two show each other what they're capable of, outside of the rumours they've heard of each other.

.

None in Alekzander's command appeared to know who she was for certain. But, it didn't take long before she revealed her fire magic. Fortunately, it was common enough in the nation. It was easy enough for her to hide her name from the rest. But not from Alek.

#i'm om nom nom'ing so hard#she is so cool#love staff fights!!!! and I love to hear about where Astrea's fighting style comes from!!!#it makes the world feel all that much richer#fighting inspired by dancing RAHHHH#also omg Alek 😳😳😳 with his 'mmmm fiery women yessss'#so true and real#and then him wriggling out of that fight at the end without risking a loss of respect for either of them.....#damn#he's so hot#i mean what#others' writing

Peanut Butter Filling: share a snippet that really shows a character’s personality.

Bloodless Heir Book 2: Leviathan Wakes Snippet | some of Alek & Astrea's first interactions when she's in his camp showing both of their personalities a bit.

"Enough." Alek turned to her, inching closer with every word. "If you wish to stay in this country, you need to learn our laws. If you wish to rule, you need to learn how to survive. This is not Oracea. We are not a silver city hidden in a blissful sea of stars. We are not accompanied by a choir of angels at every turn. We are not what you are so luxuriously accustomed to, darling."
Astrea's eyes widened in sudden fury. Taking a fiery step closer to him, she shoved a finger into his gold-embroidered black cloak. "Do not dare assume my life in that accursed country was one of sunshine and roses." She pushed harder into his chest. "And, do not dare assume I did not go through comparable barbarity as you to get to where you see me now And. My dear Alekzander." His name was ice on her lips, finger-pushing him hard enough to step back. "Do not pretend to know anything about me nor the scars that weigh on my shoulders."
He stood silenced by her sudden conviction, watching her eyes flash with hidden wrath pushing at the surface. He was unsure how long it had been hiding beneath, but it was clear how desperately it awaited the right moment to burst from the cage of stars on her cheeks.
His gaze lowered, almost disappointed when she reined it in.
"When you speak, your people listen," Astrea continued, "But it is out of fear. When I speak, my people will listen. Not from dread. No, they will lift a proud chin due to loyalty and devotion. With belief and dedication to me and my cause." She took a soft step forward, quiet rage clear in her tone. But all he noticed was the wind radiantly blowing through her curls as she lectured him. "And next time, it would do you well not to mistake my empathy for ignorance."

They Are The Sea, But You Are The Sun.

prompt from @flashfictionfridayofficial

Bloodless Heir Book 2: Leviathan Wakes | Post Corinthian; Astrea and Alek |

Context: This takes place after Corinthian kidnaps Astrea. Astrea escaped from them in this snippet. But, they are quick to catch up to her and find her. Lucky for her, Pyrian Heir Alekzander finds her and rescues her, but not without needing something in return.

.

The evening Pyrian air was almost as ravenous as a stormy night at sea.

But, this was a typical night for Alekzander. He was prepared for the storm, donning garments that shielded him from the searing elements.

#whoa#Alek 😳😳😳#damn Astrea's so traumatized and here Alek goes 'babygirl you're stronger than you know' rahhhhh i'd be down bad tbh#the Panther is so cool too omg#love the description!!! and how she seeks out Astrea's magic!!! that's such cool worldbuilding#others' writing

Astrea meets Alek

Book 2 Snippet | WC: 830 | slight angst | CW: Mentions of Blood. Mentions of Violence. Implied Death |

*

Context: Astrea and Elijah spend a majority of Book 2 forced apart. Narratively, it's so they can prove themselves as individuals to both the readers and the world they live in. Sometimes, it gets the better of them.

*

A sob crept up on Astrea, as her hands bolted to Téa gut. She haphazardly tried to stop the bleeding spilling through her clothes.

#WAHHH starting off with a bang huh 😭😭#'don't ask me to leave you' HITS HARDDD#ALSO WHAT AN ENTRANCE FROM ALEK!!!!!! HELL YEAH#Astrea mistaking him for Elijah first.....and still feeling so hopefuly......owhhhhhhh this triangle is gonna be so tragic#others' writing

Happy Tiny Scene Sunday, Jacques!!

I've come to request that "swimming scene" of which you made Astrea and Elijah swim in lava, but make the water version, hehe

Avatar

Hey!! Thank you for this!!

[In response to this swimming in lava scene] water you ask for, water you get! &lt;3 I'm a lil rascal I'm sorry in advance <3

Book 1 Snippet | Pre Relationship First Date | Angst & Comfort
Context: a continuation of this scene where Princess Astrea and Pirate Elijah have their first real conversation while Elijah is in Prison. Elijah escapes, and takes Astrea to steal something from the Palace. This is what occurs when they get caught. It's technically their first date! (:
CW: minor descriptions of drowning | WC: 1.6k
TLDR: this vine is Elijah in the first half 🏃‍♀️

*

Elijah grinned ear to ear, tightening the satchel around his chest. With a hand tight in hers, they ran through the Palace gardens as songs of clattering steel chased them through the moonlit palace grounds.

"You can swim, right?" Elijah glimpsed down at her; the moonlight reflecting off her hair and cheeks.

"If -uh-" Astrea huffed as she ran, "If the circumstances call for it."

too much monogamy in fandom in general

Avatar

as we all know, everyone falls in love once and only once with their one true love the first time, and if they had relationships before that they weren’t real and didn’t love each other, and you can’t love more than one person at once, and your friends and family need to be pushed out of the picture to focus more on your romance, and no one has sex with people they don’t love, and if they did, they’re dirty and they have to have hated it and the sex they have with their one true love after they’re officially together has to be better sex than they ever had before, and no one ever breaks up for any reason other than death, and everyone wants to get married and have kids. aren’t you fucking tired.

writing accountability, March 4

if you went through my accountability posts, I would sound like such a broken record lmfaooooo, yes I am once again Not having a Good Time, yes I am once again doubting I even know how to write, and yes this, too, shall pass. and then we will start from the top again

word count: 920

genuinely idk what I'm even doing right now 😭😭 everything annoys me, I don't know how I did this before, what even is the plot, idk!!!! I hate first drafts sooo fucking much!!!!!! when will it end!!!!!!

snippet....I guess...:

“Careful, you almost sound as if you care,” Quilin answered in kind, fully intending to throw all the festering acid in her face. Which was unfair, but fairness hardly mattered now, not when he could still taste the decay on his tongue, not when she’d proclaimed it was for nothing. Greta, to his immense irritation, didn’t grace him with a wounded look. Instead, she continued regarding him with what too closely resembled boredom. “Death isn’t a poison,” she said. “You can’t build an immunity by micro-dosing on it.” Quilin, inexplicably, yearned to prove her wrong.

chat this woman doesn't know what she's talking about chat

see you.tomorrow. perhaps

writing accountability, March 3

I have clawed my way out of this accursed sickness and finally had a decent day... although I can't say I'm in the mood still 😩 honestly, I just wanna be done with this draft already so I could start over lmao. I'm itching with the need to edit so bad...

today's word count: 900

I had greatly underestimated how many problems these characters actually have LOL. I'd fooled myself into thinking that, because this is a prequel, I'll know how to handle them, but it turns out! these blorbos still had some surprises in store for me! fun lol

snippet:

Later, when Greta was satisfied, she sewed the body back up and returned it to its metal box. This late, no one was around anymore, so Quilin didn’t need to put up a collected front once they were outside. He stumbled down the spire’s stairs, gasping in the cool night’s air. “Believe it or not,” Greta said as she languidly descended the stairs, “I don’t intend to be cruel.” Quilin grasped at his throat and shut his eyes. “What do you intend for, then?” “Nothing, really. You, as always, think yourself more special than you are.” He cast her a glare as she stopped beside him. She gazed at him impassively before snatching his hand without warning. On impulse, he flinched, trying to yank it away, but her grip was stronger. “I may not intend for anything,” she drawled, “but you may actually benefit from being around dead people.”

'we have exposure therapy at home' ahh scene

see ya tomorrow

February writing update

I was doing SOOOO well. and then I had to get sick during the last week. yay thanks for that!!!

but, anyway. if we ignore that, I had a very successful month if I do say so myself 😌 technically, I'd set my goal for this month at 25k, given that February is short, but I'd secretly set it as 30k in my word tracking website (I use trackbear, would recommend)... so I both hit my goal and not lol

current draft word count: 72.5k

February word count: 29.2k

this graph will never not annoy me. LIKEEEEE I was so close AHHHH

but, well. we persevere lol

for March, I don't think I'm gonna set a strict word count goal because I feel like I'll be able to finish the first draft?? so that'll be my goal instead!:D I'm expectinggggg another 25k words mayhaps, although it's kinda hard to tell. could be less, could be more. in any case, I'm gonna do my best to finish writing this draft before March ends so that I can take April off and work on other things 👍

Specific Lines Tag

Thanks for tagging me @space-writes!

A line about sleep:

'How did you sleep?' Jack asked after a while. The track was narrow, so they walked in single-file with Jack in the lead; he bent his head to one side, but did not look back. 'Slept like a log,' Henry said. 'Woke like an old codger.'

A line featuring a scream (sort of):

A faint shout from down the hall startled him from his morbid considerations. With a thoughtless flick of his wrist, he'd flung open the door and was racing down the hallway. It had sounded like Henry.

Your favourite line so far:

Henry hadn't ridden in many cars in his lifetime—and as he staggered out of George's with knees like jelly, he decided he never wanted to get in another one.

A line of description:

He didn't care about a vase, or the cupboard, or the floorboards. The house could rot for all he cared. But Jack was upset—Jack was hurt—and it lit a flame in his belly that could have carried him for leagues.

I'll leave it open tag!
