Last one had a typo lmao...let's try this again.

I had a passage that instantly popped into my mind for this from Bloodbound. This is from part three! Autonomy and control are big themes in everything I write but especially this novel.

#FangOut #vampire #sapphichorror
Beige text on a red background that reads: Verris' fingers tightened on her thigh. Each digit sunk into her flesh as Verris' lips brushed the shell of Faine's ear. “Give me your wrist.” The words were laced with a twinge of compulsion—a polite press on her will. A test. With some effort, she could have fought it. Was Verris testing how much power she had to use in order to make her cooperate, or reminding Faine of their agreement? The spark of compulsion made it tempting to crawl inside herself, like when Dante would visit her. Verris seemed inclined to protect her, and as far as Faine knew, had let her sleep unmolested. She would be fine. This would be fine.

A little bit from Draugr of the Danube today! I love to explore themes of mental illness and addiction with vampirism.

A color etching in the background featuring bats flying in the background and a couple benches in disarray. One is tipped over with things spilled from it. #FangOut November 1 response: Muscles flexed beneath the soft flesh which I drank from. It quivered after the tension had lessened and [redacted] pressed her fingers into my hair, sighing. I remembered how bewitching it was to be on the receiving end of such a bite but, truthfully, could consider little more than my own condition. Warmth surged through me, my suffering lessening exponentially with each swallow. Though I had every intention to temper myself, to drink only a moment, and then one more, euphoria seized me. Even as the hand grew slack against my head, I could not persuade myself to stop. I was much aggrieved at the notion that this was the necessary sacrifice Freyja had suggested. I would not have chosen it and yet, when I agreed to this against my better judgement, I had.

This one is a longer than I usually do, but I enjoy this scene muchly (and it’s even better as it goes on). Raven already knows they’re vampires when she moves in, not that she fully understands what she's getting into.

A color etching in the background featuring bats flying in the background and a couple benches in disarray. One is tipped over with things spilled from it. #FangOut October 25 response: The door hinge creaked loudly but there was no response to her call. A pungent odor hung in the air, of sickness, sage, and a room made musty by disuse. As dim light from Raven’s candle washed over the small space, a figure was illuminated. The silhouette was feminine with long, light colored skirts. It faced away, head canted at a severe angle to the left and arms limp at its sides. More startling yet, the woman seemed to float several inches above the ground. Raspy breaths filled the room, both too long and infrequent. As Raven’s eyes continued downward, they landed on a deep red stain upon the rug. A sudden terror seized her and she screamed, scrambling backwards and slipping. Pain jolted up her spine at the impact of wooden floors beneath her and the figure crumbled like a marionette which had its strings cut. It crashed into a small table, knocking off something out of view which shattered loudly. Where it once appeared suspended was a taller form, the redhead whom Raven had met earlier in the evening. Her lips were dark and smudged, as if by lipstick though she hadn’t worn any. The shadows were all the more intense around her head, like a halo, but her eyes were captivatingly bright. Raven’s chest burned with her own labored breath. She should have shouted again, or continued her unceremonious exit from the room, but she was stricken by some combination of awe, fear; something deeper, darker. Her body was frozen in place like one of those pinned moths she so adored, completely still aside from how her hand with the chamberstick trembled. Its small flame danced as the Master approached, stepping over the body without a glance. “It is past bedtime, smar hrafn.” She sounded amused, her accent unusually thick at the end, or was that English at all?

Black and white sketch of two women. One is taller, with a long braid, and the other is shorter with swept back hair, standing behind the other and holding her chin from the side. The taller woman looks annoyed and the shorter a bit mischievous Black and white sketch of a woman with long black hair, crouching and leaning back, wearing Victorian style undergarments

Might pass 1k on this tonight! I only plan to make it a short story like the first but we will see

#historicalfiction #sapphichorror #werewolf
After a meal, the wolf enjoys nothing so much as to run, to criss-cross the wide expanse of our land, and so set off. I allowed myself to be lulled to sleep by the movement like an infant in a womb. It brought me solace to rest rather than to think of a war looming, of fjords choked with oil from sunken ships or wildflowers trampled. Instead, I dreamed of water as cold and pure as a mouthful of mountain snow, and sky a blue more vibrant than any dye could recreate.

Late to the party, but here it is! Today’s #WIPSnips word is “rumble.” Have a lil flashback 😅

#sapphichorror #nonbinarybooks #sapphicbooks #queerhorror
A quote from Project Vampire by @butmakeitsapphic , After the shame came rage, and Xander felt it now like a looming shadow, their shoulders tensing under its chill. It hadn't been a hot and furious thing like they were prone to, but cold and quiet, and content to wait, knowing that one day its time would come. That Xander would find a way to become stronger and more capable. That, one day, they would have the power to exact a revenge well worth its patience. Oh, and they had. Xander could still hear the ear- splitting crack of rock. Feel the deep, bone-trembling rumble of the earth as it shifted. Hear the agonizing screams of those terrible men as they were crushed between its craggy jaws.

Today’s #WIPSnips word is “over.” Here’s a little something from the first draft of Project Oblivion, another horrormance inspired by a quest in the Elder Scrolls Oblivion game 😍

#sapphicbook #sapphichorror #horrormance #writesky
"And the last rule, which is arguably the most important," Maggie said, fixing Addie with a more serious look, "is that you keep your f&#$king mouth shut." Addie startled, meeting her gaze with wide eyes. The older woman crossed her arms over her chest. "If you're in town and someone asks if you've seen a pretty girl and she sounds like someone that lives here, you lie. If you hear something upstairs that sounds concerning, understand that it does not concern you. Whatever happens within these walls is ours and ours alone. Understand?"
