This is it. This is the book. (yes, I overused "sense" in the first paragraph, I'm revising. I'll fix it. 😆)
"I think you're right. Here, with you, it makes sense. Tomorrow, the rest of the year, I think I am someone else. But not someone different." He sounded silly, didn't he? "Does that make any sense?"

Xenon snorted against Krainos's back. "It makes a lot of sense, kallos," he replied. "That feeling, I know very well."

It's a NEW wip this week! Neven the catboy scholar is taking notes on his gender-affirming sculpting. #FaveLineFriday Bonus Q: Neven would be a birch tree, I think! He's calico-patterned, so the patterned bark, if it's flaking off, would be close to his fur.
Given that it has taken seven days for the base to loosen, I hypothesize that it would take as long for the finished—or paused, depending on how I feel about it—growth to fully integrate and vascularize.

FIRST LINES: WRITTEN! Purr-fect Timing 2 is UNDERWAY! Neven, always the academic~ 😋 I think I like this diagetic journal approach for him! #TranshetJam
Chapter 1

Day 7

The flesh at the base of the addition has begun to loosen from what I can only assume is the tissue below. I can stroke it as a separate layer, like I always could with my foreskin, and see blood vessels, my blood vessels, beginning to extend beyond where my body used to end. The clay near the tip continues turning pink overnight, and the urethra extending through it continues to be practical just as immediately. 

No sensation at the tip as of yet. I suspect it would only happen once I stop adding length, which I'm not keen to do yet. Given that it has taken seven days for the base to loosen, I hypothesize that it would take as long for the finished—or paused, depending on how I feel about it—growth to fully integrate and vascularize. I hope it's ready when I return to Leona the city of Raine, where I anticipate testing my hypotheses with my trusted assistant.

#LGBTQWriteAThon '4-boding' Xenon's truth starts catching up to Krainos.
There were some other scars peppered along Xenon’s arm, and though their activities never really gave Krainos a close look at Xenon's back, he could feel them like pockmarks as his fingertips scrabbled for purchase in their pleasured throes and tender embraces. 

When his eyes drifted to the guard’s shoulder they did linger on something else:

The handle of a crossbow.

Krainos’s sharp inhale made his lungs burn, and he straightened, alert.

It wasn't the gang hurting Xenon and his folks at all, was it?

How many of the slashes were from the guard?

And what happened last night?

Bonus: The furthest both Krainos and Xenon have been from home is Cryzmis!!! Cryzmis is deep in the northeast mountains, and their homeland, Eluria, is off the southwestern coast. #FaveLineFriday
"Goodbye, my love," the Bovien said.

Krainos smiled. "Until next year, my dear," he replied.

And Xenon was gone.

Krainos took a deep breath, waiting for the emptiness to settle in.

It never did.

Not the word, but the action. 😌 CW: violence, Pegasatyr/Minotaur #WIPsnips
Xenon snatched Warren's arm in one hand, and lifted him underneath his chin with the other. "Look at my teeth, swindler," Xenon said, and lowered his chin and bottom lip. "Flat as a pavement stone. I'm no predator."

Warren's free hand grabbed weakly at Xenon's arm, then gave up.

"Now you get the fuck out of here before I make you look at yours." He braced and reared back to throw Warren to the hay-strewn ground, but a quick, deep slice on his forearm made his fingers fly open. "Arrgh!" he grunted.

Not me, recording another podcast episode about one of my favourite movies with @chatzpod.bsky.social !!!
most of a book about The Shape of Water, "..
ting a fairy tale for troubled times. Foreword by Guillermo del Toro, written by Gina McIntyre." The border of the cover features bmphotos and logos from the movie, and a centerpiece drawing of the Asset embracing a woman underwater with hair flowing. Around the book is a microphone, a glowing keyboard, and a bit of background of a second monitor. "cking do it" is visible at rhat screen's right.

Happy birthday weekend to meeee!!! Playing my favourite 18XX game, 18Mag! It's a perfect 2-player, bumpers-up entry that doesn't take all day but still captures all the elements of the genre. (Playing with even 3 players takes the game from 3 to at least 7 hours, in my experience. 😅)

One with black tokens with assorted numbers 1-11, and the other longer with wide bands and tokens in red, orange, yellow, and green and stock values in each band.

Whee! It's #FaveLineFriday! Xenon's house of unspoken truths is starting to crumble, leaving Krainos's heart (and more) mostly exposed. BQ: Krainos is a sapphire, for blue skies and pure water. Xenon is a ruby, fiery passion.
"You're doing the right thing, right?" Krainos said as Xenon headed for the door.

"I think so," Xenon said. He draped the cloak around his shoulders and stepped into his boots. "But someone in this town would think I'm not regardless of what I did."

Krainos held a corner of the bedsheet modestly over his lower stomach with fidgeting fingers. He pursed his lips, and nodded. "See you soon, then."

"See you soon." Before he could think another thought, he was through the door and latching it behind him.

Krainos's ex was just going to get a stern talking to… But he had to go and injure Xenon! 🙄 Unfortunately for him, wrong bull, wrong team, wrong town. 🤷 Rules are rules. Wave goodbye to your little finger, Warren! 👋🏻 (Does Krainos know about ANY of this? Of course not! 🤣)
"I didn't know!" Warren sniveled. "Please!"

Xenon shook his head. "I'm sorry. This is the only way someone like you will learn that you're not beyond consequence."

"No!" Warren yelled. "Nooo—!"

Dasher stuffed a handkerchief in his mouth.

Cupid's blade gained the faintest aura of dull orange, and she stopped her flame.

"Don't worry," Xenon said as she also knelt, and took Warren's wrist in one hand. "The wound should seal immediately. You'll be fine."

Warren screamed as loud as he could, but so very little escaped even as far as the shadows.

If A.I. generated memes are something you are against, one indie writer isn't. I tried to suggest they "err on the side of generated" and this was the response I got. Proceed at your discretion.
acturek dot bsky dot social: "I would care if it were an illustration or a book cover or something trying to pass itself off as art in a meaningful way. I suppose I haven't worried about silly memes, having not put them in the same category in my head unless someone's trying to sell them as art. I do try to avoid it in general."

Rapuska is in Urge Season. But Samiel has TWO sex marathon nights, realizes he HAD in fact been accidentally practicing for it, and now HE's in a mood!
And the things he purred into Rapuska’s ear and squeezed into Rapuska’s thighs…

“I want you again, like you were this morning.”

Rapuska hummed with a shiver, his persistent arousal throbbing between his legs.

“I don’t want to be able to walk when you’re done with me.”

“You should show me where that shop is before we leave.”

And he teased his way under Rapuska’s tunic and palmed him with a needy squeeze.

“Fuck me, Your Highness.”

“Mark me, Your Highness.” 

Rapuska snatched Samiel’s wrist, his eyes unable to focus on Samiel’s face. “You. Are. Incorrigible!”

Samiel smirked at him. “I know.”

Rapuska paused for a moment, trying desperately to recall if he had anything else to do that afternoon. The only thing he was able to come up with was a list of their respective orifices and a multitude of ways to stuff them. “You’re lucky I love you.”

Hey hey! The results said Ohio, which is correct, (with a map bias toward more of the midwest) but this does also strongly indicate the PNW, where I've lived for over a decade.

Xenon shrugged. "What I do is dangerous no matter where I am," he threaded. Let Krainos figure that one out! In the meantime, he kissed the Equavien's forehead. "Now, may I unwrap my present?" He nudged the loop of the gold-threaded belt.

Hm? Where's Krainos??? ☹️ Button ➡️ Clasp pegasatyr/minotaur #wipsnips (labelled for length only, but it's not really that long.)
“And you checked the northwest district?” Xenon asked.

Cupid scoffed as she flicked her hood off of her horns. “I’m not going to the northwest district. And neither are you.”

Xenon turned and glared at her. “What was the point of going out, then?”

“So that you didn’t,” she answered. She unclasped her cloak and hung it by the door. “Getting you out of this forsaken safehouse is going to be hard enough, let alone keeping the place quiet if you and your—”

“Cupid.”

“He’s not in town, Comet. I talked to my contacts and they haven’t seen him either.”

“Well, my parents work as farmers in Eluria,” he said. “They raise sheep, and grow a garden of plants, like a rainbow along the ground, and they’ve supplied Penelope with wool and dyes extracted from the petals since before I was born.”

“So you were a natural fit,” Xenon surmised.

Krainos shrugged. “She has other employees, older than me,” he said.

It's a short exchange, but I'm proud of it! And I've never played Stardew Valley, just the board game, once. 😅 #FaveLineFriday
The laugh escaped Xenon's lips before he could stop it. "Me? Keep you?"

"Right?" Krainos replied, the mirth back in his eyes. "He just kept talking about it and wouldn't give it up no matter how much I asked him, so I broke things off and sent him back to his wagon."

Xenon brushed a lock of silver hair back over Krainos's shoulder. "I'm proud of you, kallos," he said.

"He said you'd say that."

"Well, he can be right about one thing," Xenon said, and he leaned in and claimed another kiss.

I am really looking forward to writing Zelimir and Clyph. Clyph tells Zelimir about how their partner(s) for the night hit deeper or spread wider than Zelimir EVER could. And Zelimir EATS IT UP (literally too 👀) because Clyph always ends up back in his bed.

“I’m so close, Xenon. Please, don’t stop!” Krainos whimpered.

The white thigh trembled against his hand.

“Oh gods, don’t stop. Don’t!”

He stroked down the furry skin and gave it a good squeeze.

“Xenon!” Krainos’s hands squeezed both of Xenon’s shoulders and the energetic hips suddenly stilled with a thrust.

Xenon backed off a couple inches as the flare at Krainos’s tip spread to fill the back of his muzzle and throbbed hard, shooting his fresh seed down his throat.

Krainos panted and moaned in time with his spurts, the spindly equine legs suddenly feeling much less sturdy.A white-haired winged male pegasus-satyr holds a bedpost with one hand and gathers his lower chiton with the other, his long dappled cock protruding hard.

It's Solstice morning in Cryzmis, and Xenon got Krainos a present! Pegasatyr/minotaur #WIPSnips
Xenon huffed a laugh. “Not much for me to do with it,” he said. “Besides, it’s better on you.”

Was it? He sorted out the chain and fed the metal T back through the loop of metal at the back.

“Turn around, kallos,” Xenon said. “Let me.” He took the chain from Krainos, and the Equavien obeyed. 

He spread his folded wings to give Xenon room, and almost leaned back as Xenon’s belly pressed against his lower spine, and the broad hands lowered over his head. The pendant settled on the swell of his chest, wide enough to feel on both sides, and the chain on his jutting collarbones.

“Mind getting the braid, sweetness?” Xenon asked.

Xenon is DONE FOR. 🥺 #WIPSnips
The water sloshed gently as they worked their way up to their waists, Xenon still a bit deeper than Krainos. He guided his lover over toward the edge. “I do recommend reclining deep enough to get in up to your shoulders,” Xenon began. “But you can sit higher and not slouch if you must.”

Krainos looked up with a soft giggle, and his wine-coloured eyes almost made Xenon drunk just looking into them. “You're sweet, but I'll be fine, darling.”

#SumLuv 21 I think they did fall for each other at the same time. I just think Krainos wasn't sure how serious it would get to him, and Xenon told himself it wasn't possible. It's long, but it's a short moment where they're both done for, but neither quite know it yet.
"I won’t be needing this as much as you. Give me your cloak and I’ll start it drying.” He pulled his embroidered gold bordered cloak from around him and bared his slender shoulders to the snow.

Xenon stepped back and put his hands before him. “I couldn’t.”

“You’ll catch cold!” Krainos held his hand out, insistent.

Penelope stepped in. “Krainos, he already said—”

Krainos stepped forward. “Please? You can just come give it back when you’re done.”

Xenon knew he didn’t deserve the kindness. He was just some grunt on the street doing whatever it took to keep the local lords at bay, as much as his team could, as far as his team could. The Green Dragon was still in their territory, so he shouldn’t be at risk. And Krainos looked like…

“*I’m* going to catch cold?!” Xenon asked. With a huff from his snout, he unclasped his soggy cloak and held it in his hand.

Krainos sits on Xanta's lap, and time? What is time? Bonus: Krainos's junk "drawer" actually sees the page! It's scraps of fabric and threads that he uses to make some little fibre art sculptures on the road. #FaveLineFriday
He spread his legs and patted his thigh, which Krainos promptly sat on and ringed his arms around Xenon's neck. "It's been fine," Xenon said. "It's a little cramped but we're all better off further from the front lines."

Krainos nodded, and leaned in for a kiss. Xenon found himself tilting his snout up and his head to the side as if it hadn't been an entire year since they did it last.

The black snout huffed again, and the minotaur's lips and thick tongue dragged all the way back, so far that Xenon had to move his whole body backward to make the spit-slick pink tip dangle free. “Ruining my fun already?” Xenon teased with a roll of his fingers. “I don't remember you being so insistent when I was pleasuring you before.”

Krainos arched a brow. “Then I don't think you're remembering—hey!” Krainos suddenly found himself sliding down in his seat, his hooves sent skyward as the sure hands of Xenon lifted the backs of his white-haired thighs.

“I remember everything,” Xenon said, and boldly licked over Krainos's now-exposed puckered hole. “I remember you changing my life.” Another warm, wet swath. “I remember begging you to let me pleasure you.” He nibbled Krainos's bare taint. “I remember you assuring me I would have my turn in time.” He lapped up Krainos's white sack, lifting the heavy orbs within and letting them fall back down. “And your silver hair painted in all the colours of Solstice lamplight.”

12 DAYS OF CRYZMIS Twink cloth merchant pegasus-satyr Krainos falls for older minotaur Xenon & they start spending winter Solstices in bed together. The problem is that Xenon is an enforcer for the local gang, if Krainos finds out he could be in danger, & keeping the secret gets harder by the year.

Hey, when it's been a whole year, when you get to your boyfriend's job and he takes you into the stock room, you know it's on! 🤷 Pegasatyr/minotaur #WIPSnips
Xenon moved the envelope behind Krainos’s back, and Krainos claimed his mouth as the paper rustled behind him. Thick fingers slid between Krainos’s cheeks, and after one brushed over his opening another pressed against it, warm and slick.

Krainos pressed his hips against it, and gasped through the gaps in their seal as Xenon’s finger responded in kind. He abandoned the kiss to rest his forehead on a soft mound between neck and shoulder and bowed his back.

“Oh, you do miss me,” Xenon said, then kissed the same, firmer, hairless expanse on the Equavien as he worked his fingertip against Krainos’s hole.

“Not just this,” Krainos said.

#SumLuv 18 The broad strokes? All to plan. But I had NO idea that Xenon was going to insult Krainos and make him walk out of their first date! 🤣 Both of them were in-character, and it flowed SO well, so I had to keep it & figure out how to get them together. (plus, a good apology is a green flag!)
Xenon gestured across the table. “And look at you! You could have your pick of anyone in the city. Cryzmis is full of tourists these days. You can do far better than a lout like me.” Xenon brought his mug back to his lips.

Krainos sipped at his mug slowly. Forlornly. “That doesn’t mean I can’t desire you.”

Xenon leaned further over the table. “Plus, you're a caravan merchant. You probably have at least one lover in every—”

Krainos slammed his mug on the table, the cocoa splashing over the rim. His wine-colored eyes were narrowed to sharp points. “You can just say ‘no,’ you know.” He slid his chair away from the table. “You can just say ‘no' instead of making up these ridiculous things about me and what I should or shouldn't be doing.”

He stood and pushed his chair in, and Xenon watched the snow-white wings and long, silver braid walking away.

Good, Xenon thought“I’d be foolish not to be thrilled to spend the night with someone like you,” Xenon added. It felt far too sappy on its way off his lips. He offered his hand.

“You don’t sound convinced,” Krainos said.

Xenon shrugged. “So come with me and convince me,” he said. His bovine mouth curled up in a slight smile. At least that request, of everything surrounding all his interactions with Krainos and Peneleope, from all parties, he knew was honest.

Krainos’s eye appraised him again, and he opened the door a little wider to reveal his own smile. “I kinda helped the fabric along a little,” he said. “A little rotating here and there, spread the heat out. It’s pretty close to dry.” He went over to fetch Xenon’s cloak. “And if you throw it on the ground to try to stop me from stomping in a puddle or something, I won’t be drying it out for you a second time, mister.” He shook it out, righted it, and offered it back to its rightful owner.

Happy #BlackCatAppreciationDay!! This is Koda, so chatty he was included in our podcast art. 🤣
A long black cat with affronted pale yellow eyes laying in a shallow cardboard box with some white tissue paper.A curled up black cat with bothered pale yellow eyes laying in a board game box lid it is too big for.A black cat with puffy cheeks and pale yellow eyes that are willing to hear you out but it better be good, sitting politely on a green chest with brass edges.A grown black cat who has never been fed a day in his whole life laying lightly curled on the floor on his side, deniably presenting his belly as a trap.

My unintentional, but wholly unsurprising, Broadway haul today! 🤣 The musical that has most influenced my storytelling, the one that directly inspired one of my novellas, and one that recently catapulted into one of my favorite soundtracks.

Right: Funko Pop of Elphaba in her black dress and hat, in its box. Behind her is a mostly pink vinyl sleeve for the film soundtrack of "My Fair Lady," with near caricatures of Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison.

#SumLuv 16 When the out-loud words come easy, that's the chemistry. It's wit, it's humour, it's rhythm. It's paying attention and relating deeply. They've found everything they want a partner to be. (snippet labelled for length only)
Xenon took off his cloak and set it on a chair, and they moved toward each other until Krainos’s arms were around Xenon’s neck and Xenon’s hands found Krainos’s slender waist on top of the draped white fabric.

“Still worried?” Krainos asked.

Xenon shook his head. “Still can’t believe it.” He brushed his thumb down Krainos’s cheek.

Krainos’s wide wine-red eyes were glinting with firelight as they traveled all over Xenon’s bovine face. “That’s fine,” he said. The corner of his mouth quirked up. “I’ll make it impossible to deny.”

Xenon’s heart leaped in his chest before it seized with a fear he’d be rejected. But it was harder to listen to with Krainos already in his arms. “Mighty full of yourself, aren’t you?” he said.

Krainos shrugged. “One way to find out if I’m right.”

Post a meme made by you (I call it "ShinGeico no Kyojin", and I made it during S1 of the anime before I knew where it and the author were headed 😅)
The poster for Attack on Titan, with Eren standing with his blades and maneuver gear, looking up at a Titan standing behind the wall with a city on fire.

Except the Titan's head has been photoshopped out of the image and replaced with a bundle of bills with googly eyes, from an old Geico ad campaign.

Above the kanji for "Shingeki no Kyojin," I added in white text: "On that day, humanity recieved a grim reminder…"

"That they could save 15% on their car insurance by switching to Geico"

#SumLuv 14 If Krainos, a hot young pegasus-satyr, insists on wanting to sleep with Xenon on his holiday visits to Cryzmis, the minotaur can at least treat him right: make him comfortable, keep him safe, & never—NEVER—let him find out he's a heavy in the town gang, no matter how bad they're losing.
“What even is this?” Krainos asked. “It's just this! I have my life, you have yours, but we have…these days! These few days. And they're like no other days of the year. Of my life!”

Xenon drew a deep breath and sighed it out. “I wish I knew, kallos. You're just my present. You are my ceremony. You are my ritual. My tradition.”

Krainos clutched at Xenon's chest, and Xenon wrapped him up tighter. “I've still been seeing other men, Xenon, but I don't want to.” The younger Equavien's shoulders trembled. “I can't…I can't leave the business. I love it, even if it's so much.

Days since I last DIDN'T label a #WIPsnips for content: 1 🤣 Pegasatyr/minotaur Not sure "maw" is best for a bull muzzle, but that's why it's a WIP 😆
Krainos moaned. “Oh, gods…”

Xenon felt Krainos throb in his maw, and on the way back he caught a sniff full of the Equavien’s musky sweat. The effort and desire was familiar to him from their nights together. He should miss having it around to remind him. The medial ring scraping along his tongue was a memory he’d have to hang onto as well.

Penelope plays wingwoman to a winged man. Labelled for length only, but it's some of my favourite banter so I hope you enjoy it. 😊 Pegasatyr/minotaur #WIPsnips
“I don't want you to fake anything, but if he read you wrong, I at least want to let him know. And I'll cover your tab if he did.”

Xenon sighed, reached into the folds of his tunic, and slammed a few coins on the table. “I can't believe I'm doing this.”

Penelope smirked and stood, victorious. “Hey bud, we all need a little nudge once in a while. I just need him to check in tomorrow morning so I don't have to come find you.” She clapped a hand to Xenon's shoulder. “Have fun!”

Xenon snorted. “Don't get too familiar. Will he come back down or—”

“You broke his poor fledgling heart, so I think coming up and apologizing would be appropriate,” Penelope said.

Xenon set his mug down and stood too. “And this is not going to be awkward, how?” He started following her back to the lobby.

"Do a #WIPsnips this week that doesn't need to be labelled" Challenge: ongoing. 😌 Pegasatyr/minotaur
As Xenon slathered his hole, Krainos found words difficult. Perhaps Xenon was right about that aspect of him too. “J-just...” he stammered as his flesh danced with invisible lightning. “Just want you, Xenon.”

“Just want you too, kallos.” And Xenon tested the tapered tip of his tongue against Krainos's opening.

"admitting" is interesting - it's the moment a truth is given voice that can take both the speaker and the listener by surprise. Pegasatyr/minotaur #WIPsnips
“Just me?” Krainos asked.

“You’ve done enough, kallos,” Xenon said. “After all, how long until someone else touches you the way I do?”

“Even if they touch me like you, they won’t feel like you.” Krainos touched the back of Xenon’s hand and guided it toward his center.

Xenon’s heart skipped a beat, and his squeeze was rewarded with an ample handful of burgeoning arousal. “No one’ll feel like you either,” Xenon admitted.

4: At first, for Xenon it's nothing, then Krainos asks him out & he lashes out from his self-loathing. Krainos doesn't really understand the why or how of his "lust at first sight." Then, it's a fairytale hookup. 2 days of lustful bliss, & Krainos has to leave before anything can go wrong. #SumLuv
Xenon gestured across the table. “And look at you! You could have your pick of anyone in the city. Cryzmis is full of tourists these days. You can do far better than a lout like me.” Xenon brought his mug back to his lips.

Krainos sipped at his mug slowly. Forlornly. “That doesn’t mean I can’t desire you.”

Xenon leaned further over the table. “Plus, you're a caravan merchant. You probably have at least one lover in every—”

Krainos slammed his mug on the table, the cocoa splashing over the rim. His wine-colored eyes were narrowed to sharp points. “You can just say ‘no,’ you know.” He slid his chair away from the table. “You can just say ‘no' instead of making up these ridiculous things about me and what I should or shouldn't be doing.”

He stood and pushed his chair in, and Xenon watched the snow-white wings and long, silver braid walking away.

Good, Xenon thought

2: Krainos is my pegasatyr, an anxious yet optimistic twink of a fledgling merchant. Xenon, 35-ish minotaur, is a jaded enforcer for the gang opposed to the city watch, which technically makes him a criminal. Between his age, mindset, & size he thinks he's undesireable. Krainos disagrees. #SumLuv
A slender, tastefully nude satyr with bronze skin and long, braided silver hair, white horse ears and fur, and wings, sits on the lap of, and nuzzling, a brown-furred minotaur with white horns protruding from the sides of its head. Snow is falling outside the window behind them.
"The 12 Days of Cryzmis" is in yellow old English text at the top, "A Queers With Pointy Ears" is in white serif font at the bottom, then Holiday in green Old English, Mafia in a red all-caps Serif, and "Romance" at the very bottom in the first white serif.

Sorry (not sorry), I cooked tonight. 😌
"But it wasn't enough," Xenon continued. "And you've damaged Nicholas's property on top of that. Which incurs a certain penalty."

"I didn't know!" Warren sniveled. "Please!"

Xenon shook his head. "I'm sorry. This is the only way someone like you will learn that you're not beyond consequence."

"No!" Warren yelled. "Nooo—!"
