Well D&D was cancelled but I guess I now have time to solidify the roaming bands of bulettes and basalisks they're definitely going to encounter next session. And there's more fancy cheese for me!

Familiar by Shoushiyo. It's a webcomic that I believe has wrapped up (and I still have to catch up) but genuinely some of the sweetest and hottest scenes I've read. The chemistry the characters had was undeniable.

Tonight in Urban Shadows, Lorelei and Lina met for the first time since their breakup and had an extremely tension-filled conversation. Paige tracked down a changeling, assisting a vampire in forcibly removing some hunters in the process. Lorelei also talked with a powerful member of...

Paige has done the exact letter of the request of her queen (and a little more than requested tbh) so as far as she's concerned, she's done her job. Next week: Probably a heist as Lina gets us embroiled in yet another Scheme!

She offered Cassie the Sad Angel as a bodyguard (specifically asking her to watch for demons and vampires) and then exited. As soon as her heels hit the street, she whispered to the wind where Zelda was and exactly who was with her, and the fact that they would be leaving soon.

Kori Klinzing @nvulnerabletide.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
After all the demons were killed, Paige spoke to Zelda and gave her a lookover, realizing that all Zelda wanted was her freedom. Which meant not being dragged back to Faerie and entered into the line of succession. But all of that is over Paige's paygrade.

Kori Klinzing @nvulnerabletide.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Some demons were attacking! And the young woman-- Zelda-- had apperently made friends with Soapbox (the aware human association) and Cyril, a paranormal investigator who owes Paige big. Paige lent them her Sad Angel ti kill all the demons, and learned that her target is a channeling.

Sascha woke the Oracle up, and in studying them as they left, Paige realized they too were hunting for Zelda. After discovering that the Oracle couldn't scry on the young woman, Paige booked it to the address the hunter gave her, taking a shortcut through Faerie to arrive in the nick of time.

Annoyed, Paige stalked up to the roof and set a blizzard on them, injuring them all severely. She advised them to run along, and discovered her hunter contact was among them AND had completed her request.

Kori Klinzing @nvulnerabletide.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
When they got to the Oracle's office, there was a vampire sitting in her chair. Sascha, to whom Paige owed a debt. Sascha had the Oracle entranced, and offered to let her go to complete Paige's request IF she would get rid of the hunters that were currently breaking in to kill them.

This week in #UrbanShadows, Paige was tracking down the woman her Queen told her to find. With her sad angel acquaintance at her side, she went to the oracle that owes her, while the hunter she'd leaned on did some searching of her own... #ttrpg

#WIPSnips, 9/26: Observe
White text on an ombre blue background. A blue pencil lurks to the right, pointed downwards as if to write.

The text reads:

"I did my best to hang back and observe, arms crossed over my chest, confident expression in place. Like I belonged here. Like me being in this kind of bar was normal.
	
I did not belong here. 
	
I didn’t realize how out of my depth I would be. I’d been in bars before. Sometimes the concerts I snuck out to, or that Em and V had taken me to had people drinking. Dad took me to a bar once after a recital and let me have a sip of his drink.
	
But this was a such a dive."

#WIPSnips, 9/25: Nation More vibes than exactness.
White text on an ombre blue background, with a blue pencil to the right. The blue pencil is pointed down as if to write. 

The text reads:

"I looked after where Elias had vanished to, then back to her. 'My name is Melanie. What’s your name?'
	
'I’m Meridian. Everyone here calls me Mary. Are you from Earth?'
	
'Yeah, I was born here.'
	
She nodded thoughtfully. 'Everyone born on Earth gets to leave whenever they want. I’m from Zan. It’s very, very far away, but that’s why I’m not allowed to leave without permission.” She frowned slightly. “Elias is from Gallea, and he gets permission almost every day now. They said he needs to be integrated? I wonder if they’ll integrate me and the others soon.'
	
I looked up around the room. There were other kids—other aliens—just like her."

#WIPSnips, 9/24: Meddle
White text on an ombre blue background. There's a dark blue pencil pointed downward as if to write. 

The text reads:

"There was no satisfying moment of conclusion. No drawing room reveal. No unmasking with the villain wrapped up in their own trap. No “I would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for you meddling kids.” 
	
Just an endless sadness in her eyes as we ripped her domino mask away, and the aching gulf of empathy and misunderstanding. Emotional connection accompanied by logical disagreement."

#WIPSnips, 9/23: Tumble (not tumblr)
White text on an ombre blue background. To the right, there is a blue pencil pointed downward as if to write.

The text reads:

"We tumbled through the air together, ass over teakettle, boots over barrettes. The air was a physical force, buffeting and slamming into us. 
	
Celeste was already glowing, and Elias had himself under control, of course, but the rest of us? We were fucked. 
	
Quinn threw their hand out, trying to call the earth to them. It might come, it might be coming, but from a quick glimpse at how fucking high up we were, it wasn’t going to be any kind of help. We’d still hit it way too fast and way too hard. And they couldn’t control gravity, at least as far as I knew."

White text on an ombre blue background. To the right is a pencil, pointed downwards as if to write.

The text reads:

"If she had access to makeup like this and she’d been holding out on me? 
	
I wanted to laugh. I could barely feel my emotions right now. They were a maelstrom swirling inside of me, and I, at the eye, couldn’t feel them. At the epicenter of the nuclear explosion, I was wiped away before I could feel any pain.
	
Betrayal came at the point of a glittery eyeliner stick."

people talk about "media literacy" usually in the context of "needing the villain to look into the camera and tell you they're bad," but it goes the other way too--people will fly into a rage and start insisting "fiction has no effect on reality" if you DO acknowledge context, subtext, framing, etc.

#WIPSnips, 9/21: Stream
White text on an ombre blue background, with a blue pencil towards the right. The pencil is pointed downward as if to write.

The text reads:

"I could feel her. I was immersed in her. It was less like a bridge between us and more like I was suddenly drowning in her, in the steady stream of her consciousness. Endlessly deep and constantly moving. I was surrounded by every flittering thought flashing through her head. It was just like being submerged, watching the flickering of silver fish swim through sunlit waters. I just had to find the right fish, or current. 
	
The metaphor was starting to stretch, but here I was, feeling it viscerally. 
	
I breathed through the drowning feeling, and sent out a vine of power. No, a wire. A fishing wire with a question as the bobbin. A question that I knew she couldn’t resist answering."

#WIPSnips, 9/20: Signal
White text on an ombre blue background, with a blue pencil to the right in the background. The pencil is pointed downward as if to write.

The text:

"As we slipped through the darkness, something in the sky caught my eye. Higher than a skyscraper, lower than a weather balloon or an airplane coming to land. Projected on the cloud cover wreathing the city. A signal.
	
I squinted. 'Is that a hawk or an X, you think?'
	
Quinn slowed their pace and craned their neck to look at the light projected into the sky. 'Xenith has superhearing, right? He wouldn’t need a signal. It’s gotta be for the Flock.' They sighed. 'Imagine being so important, you get your own call signal.'"

White text on an ombre blue background. To the right is a blue pencil, pointed downward as if to write.

The text reads:

"Elias walked out of the room without looking back, leaving me alone with Michael. Whose leg was already jiggling so fast it was gonna break mach two any second now. I placed my head in my hands and tried not to groan. Interrogation was better than this. 
	
And if I tried to punch him, he’d just zoom out of the way. 

'What do you think that tube’s for?' Michael asked. His gaze was pointed up at the ceiling, where they hadn’t bothered to put tiles in, I guess. All the electrical work and ventilation was exposed to the air.
	
'I don’t know. Air circulation, probably? I’m not an engineer.'
	
'It’s probably not reinforced enough for us to crawl through without breaking, huh.'"

My entire body was screaming. There was a throbbing building up behind my right eye, and I was starting to feel nauseated. 'That sounds like effort,' I muttered.

It's a vibes thing. It's all nitpicky genre stuff, but I'd put WoD as horror and Dresden Files as urban fantasy, and Urban Shadows is more urban fantasy.

Paige told Lina it would Cost, and traveled to the Winter Garden and slipped sideways from the sun and into Faerie to collect it. Who should come up behind her but Eirwen -- the Knight of Silent Snow-- her ex and rival and one of the reasons she is out of her Queen's favor.
