Six Sentence Sunday

Greeting and happy Sunday, all. Val has been Busy with a capital B lately, but the other day, while at work, I sat down and was able to write almost 4,000 words, and I'm so grateful for my muse being inspired, because I needed something to get me through another long week at work, and writing more of At the end of a bar was just the thing. So in honor of me being able to write more in one day than I've written so far in the new year, I'm gifting the timeline with 8 sentences today, behind the cut for a touch of NSFW content.

I'm getting close to the end of The Coma Fic™️! Hooray!

I've just reached the point where I don't want to share out of context snippets anymore because I don't want to spoil important moments... even though y'all already know Alex is gonna wake up. Anyway, that means this is the last time I'll share a snip until I drop the whole thing (and it's a few more than seven sentences):

For a moment, Alex thinks Nora has a point. It's not so bad. Alex looks out at the lake, watching the moon glisten against the still water, and he thinks… You know what? Yeah. He can stay here. It's peaceful, and he has June and Nora—figments or not—and, maybe, he's tired of fucking fighting all the time. Maybe he's here because he deserves some goddamn peace. Then he lays down on his back and the sky spreads out above him. That's another thing about Austin. You can really see the stars out here. D.C. isn't quite as bright as other big cities he's been to, but out here? The midnight sky is littered with stars, scattered as far and wide as he can see. And he's never been one for astronomy, but it's easy for his eyes to spot a familiar belt of three stars and a sword held high. "What're you doing out here?" There's a shuffling sound next to him, and Alex turns his head to find Henry—finally—dropping to lie beside him in the dirt. His blonde hair is sticking to his forehead and droplets cling to his eyelashes. He's as beautiful as he's always been. Alex's lips twitch. "Looking for Orion," he says. "Ah," Henry replies. "Any luck?" He hums in the affirmative. "The three stars there"—he takes Henry's hand, twines their fingers, and points them together, as if Henry wasn't the one who taught him—"are the dead giveaway. That's the belt, and his shoulders up here…" "I see." Henry smiles; it's in the smooth tone of his voice. "I had no idea you were into astronomy." Alex smiles. "Oh, I'm not," he teases, dropping their still-twined hands onto the ground between them. "Some guy taught me. The things we'll do for a piece of ass, right?" Henry laughs. "A piece of—Christ, Alex." He shakes his head. Mud collects in his hair. "Charming. Truly." "Yeah, I was gonna be really charming when I busted down your door," Alex says. "You dodged a bullet." Instantly, Henry's smile fades. Alex wishes he could take it back.

Sunday Sentences

Thank you for the tag @hgejfmw-hgejhsf and @indestructibleheart!! 💜 I can't wait to check out your snippets!!!

I don't have any new sentences to share, but I can share that over the weekend some ideas for RWRB started brewing so hopefully soon I can share something soon. I'm in the outlining phase at the moment and still working on other SC fics. More to come!

Leaving this as an open tag to all! Please tag me if you use this open tag! I can't wait to see what everyone is working on!

Thanks for the tags, @hgejfmw-hgejhsf @kiwiana-writes @hippolotamus!

I feel like I had the week from hell a year and a half ago and it's still going on. One of these days, things will get easier. I'm going to do so much writing whenever that happens.

Anyway, I am nearly ready to post something new, probably tomorrow, but maybe tonight if I have a sudden burst of energy. But in the meantime, here's ~~seven~~ eight sentences of indie band patrick that I don't think I've shared before:

“Hey,” he murmurs, resting a comforting hand on Patrick’s cheek. “You don’t have to tell him about us if you’re not ready.” Patrick snorts and gestures down at their naked bodies. “Ted’s a smart guy, David. I think he’ll figure it out.” “I’ll wait until he’s in the bathroom or go out the window or something.” David internally cringes at what climbing out the window would do to his Rick Owens but, to his surprise, he finds that he’d willingly sacrifice a hundred pairs for Patrick. The truth of it nearly overwhelms him.

Six Sentence Sunday

Greetings, my dearest loves, and welcome back to another installment of "Val has worked a ridiculous amount of hours this week/weekend, AND she has to work tomorrow, so she's scheduling the shit out of this post and going to sleep!" Hooray!

I went back and forth on which snippet to share with y'all this week. Did I decide to go with another portion of the next chapter of At the End of a Bar, that nearly every reader/commenter has been begging for a continuation of (and making me blush every time)? Or did I choose a portion of a new WIP that I started before the sun had even risen earlier this week while talking with @thinkof-england about some...things I can't yet share...that were going on in my personal life?

Well...since the new WIP barely HAS six sentences, I'm going to be gracious and give y'all more than six sentences of At the End of a Bar. Enjoy! (Hopefully)

He’s already heard Henry laugh. Several times, in fact, in several ways, just tonight alone. A nervous giggle when Alex leaned in and whispered that he was the hottest person he’d ever seen. An incredulous huff when he revealed his favorite Star Wars movie and Alex informed him how completely and utterly wrong he was. A full-bodied howl of a thing that turned a few heads as he recalled the look on his ghoul of a grandmother’s face when he told her that he was moving to Texas and would be riding more than just horses. But the laugh that crosses the boundary of his perfect lips when he comes can only be described as euphoric. A sound so exquisite that anyone who’s ever heard it should consider themselves blessed to have witnessed such a remarkable thing. Head thrown back, blond hair glistening with sweat, pink lips pulled over white teeth in a wide, gummy grin, blue eyes practically glowing. Alex would like nothing more than to be the cause of such utter bliss every day, several times a day, for as long as Henry will allow him.

Putting some no-pressure tags out into the universe and behind the cut, as well as laying out an open tag for anyone else who might wish to tag me and share their beautiful work from this past week!

Speaking of feels, have some more (prev snippets here)

Their kiss becomes increasingly urgent and messy. As if they both recognize the window of time is closing. That whatever they’ve shared disappears when Eddie leaves this bed. Fat, wet tears begin rolling down Buck’s cheeks, splashing onto his tongue. He hardly recognizes what’s happening before Eddie is cradling his face between his palms, shushing him like a child. “Buck, hey, look at me.” Eddie soothes him, brushing the dampness away. “Tell me what’s going on.” “‘M fine,” Buck lies, swiping his forearm across his face and trying to turn away so Eddie can’t see.

#wip wednesday #rwrb fic #rwrb fanfic #rwrb fanfiction #what a tease #I want more right now #fellow writers

WIP Wednesday!

I DID write yesterday, but I DIDN'T schedule my post! How's that for a fun little twist? Forgive me, y'all, I've spent way too much time at work this week, so the little things must entertain me at this point.

I want to thank my lovelies @onthewaytosomewhere, @zwiazdziarka, @suseagull04, @littlemisskittentoes, and @sophie1973 for tagging me already today!

Have a teensy tiny bit more from chapter 2 of At the End of a Bar, ~~that's now going to have 3 chapters oops did I actually say that~~ because I want to be a bit of a tease today, sorry not sorry.

“Noted. And not intended.” “Good, Alexander.”

Zero-pressure tags for lots of humans whose work I wanna exist inside the walls of and scream about it in the tags after the cut! Also, if you are a writer and you see this and you want ME to exist inside your walls and scream about what you're working on in the tags, feel free to always tag me! I love this fandom, and I want nothing more than for all of us to have all the cake available in all the different flavors and styles. More cake is always good cake!

#six sentence sunday #rwrb fic #rwrb fanfic #rwrb fanfiction #yes for angsty Henry #fellow writers

Six Sentence Sunday + Last Line Challenge

Y'all are getting a two-fer on this Sunday! Since I haven't yet been tagged, I guess I'm gonna kick things off this week with six sentences of the Henry angst fic that I'm still working through, slowly but surely:

What he doesn’t understand, despite Henry’s constant attempts at telling him in his own unique way, is that Alex is the sun. Even the darkest days are now somehow brightened by Alex’s mere presence. The warmth of his skin against Henry’s when they’re both buried beneath a weighted blanket. The molten glow of his brown eyes always seeing Henry as he is, no more or less, and loving him through all of it. It fills his veins, setting his heart on fire and burning away all semblance of tears threatening to fall before they have a chance to slide over his skin. But today, he feels every bit of the storm raging inside him.

AND because I promised a two-fer, here's the last line I wrote for a fic that was originally a prompt by @sadlittlenerdking on Twitter that has grabbed hold of my every thought and won't let me go.

"Oh. This is about Henry, then."

Insert sussy eyes emoji here. Good luck figuring this one out, y'all!

Putting all of the tags for my lovelies behind the cut to take part in one or both of these challenges! A lot of the people on the tag list originally tagged me in the last line challenge, so obviously y'all can skip...unless you wanna go again, in which case go for it!

I was not going to share more of this but tbh I need some hype to get it over the finish line. And I really really love this part... so here is what I hope is the last snippet of honey, when you call my name (all prev snippets here)

“Mornin’, Buck,” Eddie says in a warm tone that does nothing to make Buck want to become upright. If anything it’s golden and loving, caressing him like the scent of ink on pages being warmed by the afternoon sun. It’s his favorite hoodie fresh from the dryer, smelling like the lavender fabric softener Eddie uses. Buck drops his arms to his sides, slowly blinking his eyes open again. He’s treated to a view of his best friend, soft and sleepy, wearing a rumpled LAFD tee and charcoal gray joggers. Eddie smiles at him. A lopsided grin like Buck hung the entire galaxy instead of randomly showing up in the middle of the night to crash on the sofa. [...] “C’mon.” Eddie gently taps Buck’s socked foot sticking out from under the blanket. “I’ll get you some Tylenol and try not to burn your toast.”

Thanks for the tags, @hgejfmw-hgejhsf, @kiwiana-writes, @inexplicablymine, and @three-drink-amy.

I'm keeping things going today with a little more of my project with @kiwiana-writes, since we've been having a lot of fun with that this week. This is actually part of the same scene I shared on Wednesday, which I just finished writing, like, ten minutes ago:

"What I don't understand is how the lot of you can sit there and do nothing." "What choice do we have?" June says. Deliriously, Henry wonders if he sounded so ridiculous on that rainy night in Kensington—truly, it's no wonder Alex burst through the palace doors, forceful as the storm outside, and called him an obtuse fucking asshole. But that was a lifetime ago. Henry is no longer the gilded prince who simply allows things to happen to him; he'll be damned if he'll let this happen to Alex without a fight. It seems fitting that Alex's own words fly from Henry's mouth then: "You could try."
