i don’t know how this was the only instance of the word original in my entire draft but i’m not mad at it #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIPSnips
I glance up into his dark eyes, so full of concern and pleading, and know that I can trust him. Magnus may work for my mother, may have originally been tasked with guarding me, but over the years, he has become my closest confidante. And shame and regret wash over me when I think about how I've taken him for granted all these years.
"Flameheart," I choke out. "The Flameheart is coming."

#WeeknightWriters #FirstDraftFall unfortunately due to my living situation currently (9 people in 4 bedrooms so i’m oh so lucky enough to get the couch) there’s no way for me to have a dedicated writing space. the best i can do is close myself in a room where kids can’t distract me 😂😅

Danbi and her two best friends, Chloe and Mundy, discuss their options when they find a glowing tree ✨🌲✨ #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #AmQuerying 📚💙
“Different idea,” Chloe says dreamily. “We should touch it.”

Mundy squeezes his eyes shut. “Seriously, Leva? Why?”

“There’s a gigantic, magic, glowing tree here.” Chloe looks at him like he has three heads. “What else is there to do?”

“Magic, Chlo? Really? Son of a biscuit, did you take something? Wait. Did you put something in the food?!”

“Are you seriously asking me if I drugged you right now? Of course not, Robert!” She gestures to the tree. “If this isn’t magic, what is it?”

“Some kind of…maybe like a…” Mundy’s face contorts. “You know what, this is something for one brave dude in a hazmat suit to figure out.”

“Orrrr it’s for us,” Chloe counters. “My parents are just pretentious enough to have made me read The Iliad and The Odyssey every year since I was thirteen, so I recognize a call to adventure when I see one. Listen to your instincts for once! Are they really telling you that this radiant meteor lantern tree is going to hurt you?”

“Do you feel that?”

It comes out in a whisper, and they turn to me, staring at the tree. Chloe angles her head inquisitively, and Mundy’s eyes plead with me for support.

“It’s like…” I close my eyes. “Like stepping into the sun after spending all day inside. Like something inevitable.”

Mundy lets out a groan, but Chloe shuts her eyes. She inhales deeply.

She opens them slowly, and nods. “I feel it.”

Mundy’s arms fly up. “You’ve both lost it! What’s gotten into you, D? You’re supposed to help be the voice of reason. This dynamic doesn’t work with two reckless nutjobs.”

Chloe curtsies before flipping him off.

#WIPSnips tfw you don’t appreciate or understand your mom until after her death oh and also the dragon you’ve hated your entire life becomes inextricably linked to your soul✌🏻
Though we have only been in each other's minds for a few days, the loss of Vorvuth's consciousness alongside mine feels as if some vital part of me, a lung or a limb, perhaps, is missing. I had always judged Mother for her unwillingness to part from him, thinking it an overreaction or an excuse to not spend more time with her human family, but I understand now. This pain is unbearable and I curl in on myself, thankful that my bindings have been removed, as I try to hold my body together while it in turn tries to collapse in on itself.

#WIPSnips running is actually sort of a…running theme throughout the story for my MC shafira
Her hand is sun-warmed when she places it on my cheek, hot enough to burn the spot where our skin makes contact. I flinch away and Mother frowns, hurt flashing in her eyes. "You can't run from this forever, Shafira." Her voice is cold, dropping the loving mother act she had tried to put on not even a minute before.

"Refusal is not running," I remind her. This is my standard line in this argument, the expected line in a play neither of us agreed to be in. "If I wanted to run, I would have done it a long time ago."

one of the last things i wrote before i got sick #MelsNoWriMo
The hands holding me are firm on my body, but thin-boned and delicate. They cradle me to their chest and I'm sure it's to make sure they have a good grip on me, but it feels protective.

Only one person on this ship would hold me like this.

Mairi.

I don't dare peek at her because I don't know if I'll find Mairi or the Flameheart staring back at me, but the tenderness in her touch gives me hope. 

Hope that, even if she is under the Archmarshal's influence, my best friend—my Mairi—is still in in there somewhere. That she isn't completely lost to me just yet.

#Bookvember i love most everything ve schwab writes but there’s just something special about vicious and vengeful. idk if it’s the superhero angle or the friends to enemies or the fact that victor vale is obviously asexual but i just love that series so much

#MelsNoWriMo everything i write has at least a little bit of a fantasy element because growing up that’s all i would read because i needed the escape into a different world so it’s kind of all i know 😂

M.R. is in drafting hell @mrwritesfantasy.bsky.social · 07/11/2025
#MelsNoWriMo specifically it is the man who brainwashed mairi and orchestrated shafira’s parents’ deaths but more broadly it’s just you know. fascism.

M.R. is in drafting hell @mrwritesfantasy.bsky.social · 07/11/2025
#MelsNoWriMo that would be mairi, who growing up was shafira’s best friend but she gets bucky barnes’d into being the world’s deadliest assassin oh and also shafira’s dragon. they are both equally important. shafira would be dead without both of them

M.R. is in drafting hell @mrwritesfantasy.bsky.social · 07/11/2025
#MelsNoWriMo shafira is the 18 year old daughter of the dragon queen who finds herself tasked with hunting down her parents’ murderer

this is horrific oh my fucking god why are people letting this shit run their lives?

M.R. is in drafting hell @mrwritesfantasy.bsky.social · 07/11/2025
i don’t think all that much? considering the MC has a literal dragon and can’t get shit done i don’t see a gun making that much of a difference though it would make the eventual death of the villain much less satisfying

hey! i’m MR and my #FirstDraftFall project is a sapphic YA romantasy that answers the question “what if steve/bucky specifically in the winter soldier were teenage lesbians and also there was a dragon?” that no one but me asked 😂 it’s currently at 28k and hoping to get to 30k by the end of the week

AITA for falling in love with my parents’ murderer? i know how it sounds but hear me out. my (18F) parents were assassinated in front of me. when i tracked down their killer i found out it was my old best friend (17F) who i always had a crush on. so AITA? EDIT: she was brainwashed!! #FiFRevPit
