How to save the curse-bound knight who once made an empire taste fear? Make a deal with the heräkuom, creatures who turned their backs on death and adore said knight beyond reason or doubt. Eli has never dabbled this deeply in the shadows, but the risk is worth the reward…right? #DVPit #A #F #LGBT

After stealing the empire's last dragon egg, Eli is hunted down by Fia Basdlan. The problem? Fia should be dead. Well, he already has the dragon. Why not steal the very thing binding Fia to the empire's service and free the blood knight who once brought the empire to its knees? #DVPit #A #F #LGBTQ

A blood knight, curse-bound to the empire he once fought against, finds potential freedom in a thief wielding outlawed shadow magic who would set him free for a devastating price. That's if the thief can survive being hunted down by him at the emperor's order. #DVPit #A #F #LGBTQ

And a final little teaser for tomorrow regarding my M/M fantasy novel 💕 #A #F #LGBTQ #DVParty

Eli

"And here you come with a shield for a heart and a sword for a tongue."

A thief and a liar."

"No one wearing a crown comes in the name of peace."

“Elios…”

That was a warning.

Eli grinned and pressed himself back against the knight’s chest. A small act, but making of himself something entirely and undeniably present. “Eli. I’d rather you call me that. Only you, though. I'm not too sure about the rest of them yet. And my point still stands. Also, I was quite correct about you being the fearsome sort.” That finally earned him a glance from the knight. Eli exhaled, the sound edging toward a whistle, low but unmistakably impressed. “You have a very intense stare.”

A blink greeted that comment. Genuine surprise. The hand on his hip settled a little heavier against it like a bird finally committed to roosting.

@thefoxandrose

Fia

"You want battle? I'll give you war."

"Darkness is not evil. It's merely portrayed as evil."

"Pretty boy, consumed by death,"

“We have told you this, shadow-child. There is death. Only death. Always death. This thing that binds him bleeds him, and we will not see him end. But we can bring no endings that do not bring his, too. We can break no things that do not break him, too.”

Eli stepped back from the mirror, but he did not look away from the wolf. Because beneath that flickering anger sat mourning and heartbreak. He felt her sense of loss the way gossamer drifted over skin. Fragile and gentle. Another dull ache that did not know how to quiet itself but no longer had the energy to scream.

For #DVpit opening lines 💕 Why not start a story with the theft of an empire's last dragon egg? #DVparty #A #F #LGBTQ

Opening Line for DVPit promotion: You needed five things to steal a dragon’s egg from the Aurinon Empire: knowledge, timing, skill, luck, and a careless disregard for the sanctity of your own life. Eli met four of those five criteria, and he hoped that luck would also be on his side tonight.

dark rise fanart, with a black background and muted colors. Will is being embraced by James on his right and Anharion on his left, he's in the middle, face turned to James' kiss; He has a angsty expression and a black tear rolling down his face; Around his head, a pale circular halo like an eclipse. As a graphic element, a vibrant ribbon like sinuos line crosses the piece around the height of James' and Anha's neck.

AI is a scourge. But it is important not to trust "AI detectors". I lost regular freelancing work because my client insisted I used AI to write copy (I didn't, but their AI detecting software said I did). This is a great thread with an excellent example of why these detectors cannot be trusted.

🧵 Happy Birthday, Jason Todd. May you one day get the story you deserve. 🎂 #jasontodd #redhood

It’s the way they talk about how fast they all grow up, not realizing there’s a boy over there whom the world threw heart first into the ocean and told him that drowning is also part of living, and how he came to be with water in his lungs, part shadow, all shadow, some days more, others less, wondering how sharks were left swimming in the streets, and how there are days he feels the water drying up, leaving him to breathe fire and misery instead.

It hurts.

And he thinks that maybe everything burns, was always burning, each moment simply waiting for another phoenix to rise so that someone somewhere down the line can say it all had meaning in the end.

It still hurts.

But he reaches for the stars, they all do down here, and he still can’t forget the way the moon made magic of his life and how the words leapt off the pages, pulling him into places he never thought he could go, just like that name bigger than any of his dreams had ever been. He was once sunlight on midnight’s wings, and there had been dirt on his feet and hunger in his stomach, but there stood another door, shattered glass mostly. But open is open, you know. You see the streets had taught him that, a different lesson from the world and her ocean, and you took opportunities before they crowded around your grave and wept for all you’d never been.

He’d never been much.

Oh, but he believed it for a moment, maybe a little more. Time gets funny when memory starts talking, but he remembers the water in his chest and the heaviness of trying to breath (again), not quite as bad as the knowing, how all things move, keep moving, and there are some firebirds better left fizzling out in the ashes. More potential for the burying. He could have been everything. They cry over that, too, he’s realized. That’s what some of them say, anyway. Dead is dead, but you knew that, right?

He’s still got a heart beating in his chest, though.
