Hows writing going? Oh, good. I just stared at this one spot for like 15 minutes trying to figure out what to put instead of "said" and if I should put the dialogue with the action above. (yes, its TVD fanfic because why would I be working on my original story 🙃) #WritingCommunity #WIP #Fanfic

Sundays are marked as 'sinday' with the tumblr writing community so here is my contribute to Sinday on here. Drunken Elijah feels bold, making a move on Oliver while the pair are at a nightclub in Vegas for Spring Break. #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity #QueryTrenches #LGBT #RomanceBook #WIPSnips

a way that felt less reckless and more inevitable.
When he leaned in again, it wasn’t for a kiss. “I want to fuck you tonight,” Elijah whispered into Oliver’s ear, the words slipping out on a breath that surprised him with its certainty.
Oliver’s head tipped back as he laughed, the sound unrestrained. He caught Elijah by the jaw, forcing him to look up. A cocky smirk curved his mouth, his eyes beaming with excitement. “Oh?” Oliver said. “Do you?”
Elijah leaned back into Oliver’s space without flinching, determination written plainly across his face. “Yes.”
Oliver’s grin sharpened. “Then why are we wasting time here?”

A Fistful of Water - Chapter 4. Elijah follows Oliver outside the college bar, searching for any excuse to strike up a conversation with the guy he bumped into outside the elevator earlier that day. #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity #QueryTrenches #LGBT #RomanceBook #WIPSnips

Dark moody image of two guys, one is helping the other light his cigarette. Text is in white over the image and states; Oliver glanced over his shoulder, and that crooked grin appeared like it had been waiting. “Hey,” he replied, as if Elijah following him out here wasn’t surprising at all.
Elijah nodded toward the cigarette, trying to be casual. “Can I bum one?”
Oliver’s eyes flicked over him and then he reached into his pocket and pulled out the pack. He tapped one free, and offered it. “Sure.”
Elijah took it, sliding it between his lips. The motion felt more confident than he actually was. He’d smoked before, once or twice, always at parties, always pretending it wasn’t a big deal.
Oliver lifted his lighter without being asked, stepping close enough that Elijah caught the soft flick of flame before it bloomed. “Hold still,” Oliver murmured, the words filled with quiet amusement.

Salem Witch Trials x Vampire x One-Sided Yearning Through Centuries Untilted #WIPSnips #WIP #R #PN #HI

a close-up of a young woman in low light with text beside her. images show a couple holding each other while laying in tall grass, the back of a blonde girl with a bonnet on, and a newspaper clipping with the word “vampire”. A picture of fingers touching vampire lips/teeth

Text: Eleanora turned then, fully, and in that movement, the evening light spilled across her face, warming her cheeks and catching in her lashes. She studied Abigail the way she studied a storm far off in the fields by measuring its distance, trying to decide whether it would pass over harmlessly or whether it would tear her flowers up by the roots. Abigail’s eyes were fixed somewhere past Eleanora’s shoulder, not really looking at her and yet unable to look away.

Text: “Does that not make you a witch?” Eleanora asked after a breeze of wind, one brow lifting. “Having visions seems like witchcraft, don’t you think?”

The scene that was stuck in my head all day finally typed out. Will I continue this story? I dunno... I'm not much of a fantasy writer but i love what this is doing so far. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #FantasyRomance #FR

They said the world held its breath when the Prince was born.
The wind had stilled in the high grasses beyond the castle walls, banners hanging motionless against the stone as though even the sky dared not disturb the moment. Crickets fell silent in the fields. The river that carved its way through the valley seemed to hush against its banks. All of it waiting to hear the first fragile cry of the kingdom’s future.

When Im not working on a novel, I'm shamelessly roleplaying and writing fanfiction for The Vampire Diaries (and have been on tumblr writing for over 10 years 😅) #WritingCommunity #TVD #Fanfiction #klefan #AmWriting #AmQuerying

Klaus had long since abandoned the lie that this was accidental because was nothing accidental about the way he found himself here, again and again. Drawn back to the same bed, the same body, the same pair of eyes that had once known him better than anyone living.

His mouth pressed to Stefan’s torso in unhurried devotion, open-mouthed kisses that lingered longer than necessary. Each touch of his lips felt like an apology he would never voice properly. His eyes slid shut as he breathed him in, drawing the scent of him deep into his lungs as though it might steady the storm inside his chest.

It did the opposite.

The steady rhythm of Stefan’s breathing beneath him. The warmth of his skin. The faint shift of muscle under Klaus’ mouth whenever he moved. All of it stirred something painfully tender, something he had spent centuries perfecting the art of burying.

They should not be here together.

That truth hovered between them like a ghost neither dare to acknowledge. They had ended their relationship with final words, with wounded pride, with the understanding that love, however strong, did not always survive the damage done to it.

Continuing this blurred lines.

But Klaus had never been capable of restraint when it came to Stefan.

And he knew, even now, Klaus would not be the one to stop it. He would not tell Stefan to leave. He could not

$Not when being close to him felt like stepping into a euphoria crafted with cruel precision, as though the universe had studied every fracture in Klaus’ soul and shaped Stefan perfectly to soothe it. His kisses traveled upward now. Across Stefan’s chest, where he paused, lips resting briefly over the rapid thud of his heart. He felt it there, alive and strong beneath bone and skin, and the sensation twisted something deep in him. That heartbeat had once been his constant. His certainty. His home. He moved higher, before the thought could wound further, to the warm line of Stefan’s throat. His lips traced the curve of Stefan’s jaw, slowing until they hovered there, barely touching. When he finally spoke, his voice lacked its usual theatrical confidence. It was quieter. Roughened by a feeling he could not disguise anymore. “I want you.” His mouth moved to Stefan’s ear as he spoke again. “I want you in every way possible to want another being.”$

Typically all my stories start out as a random scene I had an idea of. Then I build out the story around it. Sometimes this fails and I end up dropping the story after a few chapters. Sometimes this works wonderfully and I finish the first draft of a story in a few months. #writingcommunity #wip

“I had feelings for someone,” he said.

“And I thought if I ignored it, it would go away. That it was just… something, like, temporary.” He pressed his hands into the grass, fingers play

#WIPSnips from A Body Full Of Static. A Body Full of Static offers an intimate exploration of teenage addiction—of identity worn thin, connections lost, and the fragile space between escape and harm. #AmWriting #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity

A blurred image of a girl standing in sunlight with warm orange and amber tones fading into black. text reads: “Before I say anything else, I need to make something clear. I didn’t have ‘a plan’. I wasn’t trying to die. And it wasn’t a ‘cry for help’. It was a miscalculation. That difference matters to me.” The overall mood is somber, intimate, and reflective, evoking vulnerability and emotional weight.

No "zeal" typed out in A Fistful of Water but here is a moment where Oliver is very enthusiastic during a moment with Elijah. #WIPSnips #writingprompts #writingcommunity

Black-and-white image of two young men kissing in a dim interior space, one pressed back against a door while the other leans in close. A torn-paper style white strip runs horizontally across the center of the image. Elijah and Oliver, their foreheads touching as they pause and exchange quiet, conflicted dialogue. "This is a bad idea" Oliver murmured. "Probably." Elijah laughed. The overall mood is intimate, tense, and romantic, with a soft grain and cinematic feel.
