less than a hundred days til christmas forty days til halloween TIS THE SEASON, HOLINERDS 🎄son of santa x 🎃 prince of halloween
Hex presses into me. It yanks me out of my spiral so assuredly that I whimper in relief.


“Here,” he says. “I made this for you.”


He holds out a plate. On it is a gingerbread man, or what was until recently a gingerbread man, only his leg has been amputated and he’s coated in green frosting, with brown chocolate sprinkles formed into eyes and a gaping mouth. There’s a glob of red frosting on the missing leg, and I bust out laughing.


“You made me a gingerbread zombie.”


“Christmas and Halloween.” He grins.


This is the perfect opening to ask what he thinks about us. About after. Because there will be an after, all this will work out, nothing will implode. And in that after . . .


God, I want there to be an us.

“Sweetheart,” I gasp, stroking his side, up to his armpit, back down. “So perfect for me. You’re dancing, do you know that? You dance while we fuck. It’s the hottest thing I’ve ever seen, you writhing on me like my own performance. Dance for me, [redacted]. Make yourself feel good on me.”

update on tonight’s FAKE DIVINATION signing:

I am devastated to say that the Colorado Springs B&N signing for THE FAKE DIVINATION OFFENSE tonight is cancelled 

If you should know anything about food allergies, know they’re a huge bitch. I ate something that triggered my body to freak the f*ck out, and while I tried my hardest to push through, I need to take the day and recuperate.

I am so sorry for everyone I’ll miss seeing. Like my conversation partner, Frank — I was so looking forward to meeting you!

I’m going to try my absolute hardest to be back in fighting form for Kansas City tmrw night. Tho I might just spend the whole night talking about how atrocious it is to travel with food issues, be warned.

“Orok,” I start self-¬ mockingly, “do you remember the exact moment you gave up alcohol? Why, yes. Yes, I do. It was when I—¬ oh my f*cking gods.” A memory surfaces. Pretty rude of it, honestly. “Did I helicopter my d*ck at you?”

—he’s the cheerleader you’ve been assigned to “date” for a PR stunt to bring positive light to your god, only there’s something suspicious going on with his home life and you’ve been lowkey obsessing over him since you saved him in a barfight before you even knew who he was, and you’re not actually dating him so you can’t act on any of this stuff but you have to kiss him for the cameras and—and—

actual gentle giant actual demon twink that’s the whole book *** THE FAKE DIVINATION OFFENSE, coming 5/19 from bramble/tor!
Orok Monroe: Half-giant. Rawball defensive tank on the Philadelphia Hellhounds. Follower of Urzoth...only Orok’s tired of following the god of aggression.

Alexo Warden: Cheerleader. Human? A dancer with a stadium’s worth of secrets.

When Orok saves Alexo at a bar, fans go feral for the star athlete protecting the pint-size dude-in-distress. The Hellhounds propose that Orok and Alexo start a PR relationship to put a positive spin on Orok’s god. Orok is set to refuse and renounce Urzoth—but that wouldn’t let him see Alexo again.

So, like a sap, he agrees.

As Orok tries to drop the fake part of their fake-relationship, Alexo’s dangerous truths emerge. To save him, Orok will have to sacrifice far more than his divine association.

Thio’s next to him, and they’re both decked out in Hellhounds gear—­orange shirts and baggy orange pants with the demon dog logo, and Seb’s wearing a gods-­ damned demon dog foam hat with the dog’s mouth opening around his face, while Thio’s got a temporary tattoo of the Hellhounds H on one cheek and the twenty-­ sided rawball shape on the other.
 
Seb throws his arms out wide and screeches over the hallway’s din, “My baby!”

🇮🇪🍀happy kris & loch day to all who celebrate 🍀🇮🇪 otherwise known as the day i kick myself for not incorporating a “st. paddy daddy” joke into the book somewhere, they should revoke my witticism license here, have a pinky hold:
“And it rapidly barrels past the time when I could yank away and claim it’s an accident and now, now, I’m actively touching him, barely touching him, and the beat of blood in my injuries channels to pound, pound, pound over my heart.
It’s an accident. He touched my knees earlier, and that meant nothing, so this, this means—
His finger moves.
Hooks with mine.
Holy shit.”
