oh for once I have something to post for wip wednesday! Payback fic, hot off the press

Sun pushes Sky back against the lockers, one arm braced beside his head. Sky looks tremulously up into his eyes. "Phi…" he breathes.

"Why do you think I did all those things for you?" Sun says, his voice a snarl in his throat. "What do you think it really means? Go on. Take a guess."

Sky swallows. Sun, fingers curled, traces the back of his knuckles down Sky's throat, down to the open collar of his shirt and back up the side toward his ear. He leans in.

Sky twitches and starts to giggle.

"Cut!" calls the director, and Sky doubles over.

Happy birthday to one of the most beautiful humans on this earth, and also to me!

My book is out in two days! 2! I can't believe it's so soon. Releasing 3/3, and here's a trio of ship guides as a teaser. None of them are normal about each other. Many thanks again to @feral-philosopher.bsky.social for the wonderful character art!

Ship guide: Tempe and Kilo. Ice blue background
Kilo: the danger is what makes it fun
Tempe: with you, I almost feel like a person
Between them: "can't afford to care about each other" (might care anyway)
"amoral hedonist/ruthless idealist"
"S/M dynamic"

Ship guide: Vi and Kilo. Dark red background.
Vi: I don't like you, but I can't quit you
Kilo: I can quit you any time I want to. So what if I don't want to?
Arrow from Vi to Kilo: the one person she doesn't have to hold back with
Arrow from Kilo to Vi: the one person ze can always count on (even if neither of them admits it)
Between them: "grumpy rottweiler/scrappy alley cat"
"they both like it rough"

Ship guide: Vi and Tempe. Dark purple background
Tempe: "There is one person in the world I've never lied to."
Vi: "I did what I did to protect her. I know she'll never forgive me."
Between them: "can't go back to the way things were but try telling my heart that"
"first love, first heartbreak"
"YEARNING"

Hey look it's my book cover! Is it not BEAUTIFUL? @isthiseva.bsky.social did a simply incredible job capturing the characters and the vibe. Pre-orders are open now! books2read.com/citizenofeas... has all your store links.

Image of the back cover, featuring a spilled rocks glass and a dead body in a pool of light. Blurb reads:

Vi used to be a fighter. In the underground rings she was a champion, but on the streets of Eastport, where gangs and trade powers fight for dominance, the most she could ever be is a pawn. Instead she keeps her head down, takes care of her people, and tries to avoid trouble.

Trouble comes for her anyway, when a wealthy citizen decides he wants something she has. As his net draws tighter around her, hope rests in the unlikeliest places: the provocative thief she can't keep her hands off of, and the childhood sweetheart she once betrayed.

Thank you for giving me an excuse to screenshot this scene.

Image from Secret Crush on You episode 7: Nuea is kissing Toh against a metal gate. His hands around Toh's waist and Toh is clutching at his forearms.

Closeup on the kiss from the same scene. Toh's eyes are closed and he's tilting his chin up into the kiss.

Same kiss scene, Nuea's hand is wrapped around the back of Toh's neck pulling him closer.

Nuea and Toh with their lips just separated, angled toward each other like they really don't want to stop. Toh looks dazed.

Today I learned I have the same birthday as PP Krit, one of the few people who I think I'd be truly star-struck by if we met in person. This is now the only way to celebrate.

PP Krit wearing a metallic mesh halter top with pink ribbon straps and a large sparkling necklace.

PP Krit in satiny all-black, a collared shirt and trousers that show off his waist. He's looking over his shoulder with a bit of a smirk.

PP Krit in a stage outfit that I don't even have words for. It's square black cut over his chest and then big sparkly swoops framing his shoulders and hips and a thick black collar. And there's a long glove. He's singing into a microphone and whoever he's making eye contact with, I pray for them.

PP wearing a shirt that says "Billkin's everything," being hugged from behind by said Billkin. He's doing the two-finger cute smile and you can see one of Billkin's dimples.
