A Creator's Lair

on survival

The Newlyweds Guide to Getting Away With Murder - @violetscribe is running a romance novel challenge based on the Hot and Bothered Podcast. Isabelle Darrow and David Millington were found in a compromising situation, now they have to get married to save their reputations - or admit that the situation was misconstrued, and they were hiding a body, not having sex.

Never At Home Among The Living - serial killer Blaze Auclair is arrested for a murder he didn't commit. Forensic Tech Marcy Blair is going to prove his innocence, of which she's oddly sure.

Fostering for Supervillains - A career villain finds an abused child and goes a little off the rails. Now considered an A-rank threat and holding a baby that will hopefully not remember watching her parents' murder, Maria Archer is in for the long haul. Joining her is her husband, Melvin, and her favorite babysitter, Astrid. But Astrid's job is suspicious, and as Autumn grows up, Maria isn't the only person keeping secrets.

Spittake / The legal obligations of child heroes - Alba Snow was raised in a young heroes program, and Jacob Aster is a vigilante trying to dismantle the trafficking ring running out of his neighborhood. They should not, under any circumstances, become friends or work together. Naturally, that's exactly what they do.

A historical look at vigilante movements in the US - Isadora Masters didn't walk into this trying to be a vigilante, let alone a hero. But now she's being stalked by villains and her family is in danger, so she'll accept her fate and team up with those who did.

The Thawtown Social Experiment - As heroes and villains become more common, the officials of Thawtown, Tennessee decide that the best way to keep a real villain from trying to operate in their city is to fill the spot first. Enter Hazel Wilson, who's a little too casualty-avoidant to be convincing, and Isadora Masters, who really should have retired after getting rid of the last supervillain. They get along fine enough when the cameras aren't rolling, and a bit too well when they are.

An Incorrect Guide to Teenage Rebellion - Connor Archer is the youngest child of a criminal queenpin, but he longs to help the way vigilantes do. Crimson Wilson came out of human experimentation shaking with hatred and betrayal at the fact that she had to rescue herself. They end up in the same city.

The Child Hero Rehabilitation Manual - Harper Nadler is one of three heroes remaining after an attack killed her team. Only Alba is cleared for field work anymore, a decree Harper won't argue with. Adjusting to civilian life after so long is rough, though, and made worse when someone starts kidnapping civilians who personally knew the Nova Battalion, and returning them sans memories.

memoirs of the underground - short stories in the Iolrona continuity expanding on bits of the universe that aren't featured in the main series

In every world you're written on my heart volumes 1 & 2 -Iolrona Verse Aus, 20 per volume.

Children are worth the trouble - A non linear spin on the prompt of promising the fae your firstborn and then having twins. Clarence wants his sister back, Giselle wants to know why she's being hunted, and Evelyn just wants her kids to be okay.

The Storyteller Paradox - days before the final, climatic battle, the world around Keaton and his sister falls apart. He's sent back in time a week as a hail mary, and from there he has to find his way out of their story, locate their author, and save her life, or accept the deaths of everyone he's ever known.

Running from our end / Outpacing our happy ending - a genre savvy cast pretends they can't see the 4th wall, and equally, that it isn't closing in on them

Arsenic Adoration - an arranged marriage between two serial killers goes leagues better than anyone expected - they actually live through it

Corporate bloodsuckers - Owen is sure that he was not hallucinating the human sacrifice basement at his real estate job. A pity, his boss has a very strict confidentiality policy.

"Don't you worry about a thing, darling—I'll take care of them for you."

"Please don't kill anyone!"

thank you to all the people who sent me reference photos of their beloved rats for this piece!!! credits under the cut!

Gonna make one hundred soups this year. Starting off with kapustnyak, carrot soup, chickpea soup, and parsnip soup.

Can't stop won't stop. 15 soups so far.

Four new BEAN BASED SOUPS, the first one trailblazing because it was a taco soup recipe courtesy of @alex-of-1000-dumbasseries. 61 IN THE BAG, 39 TO GO.

Thank you, I will take these codfish words to my grave. Also, I have achieved 8 more, putting me at 77 soups. How is 70 plus 9 photos 77? I'm glad you asked.

A COLOURFUL BATCH featuring another Certified Tumblr Soup because people kept recommending Yeto's Soup, and they were right.

100/100!

My wife pointed out to me the other day that apparently most people were literally only taught how to say Sorry and not how to Apologize or even that they are different things so here.

Anyway, sorry for venting/trauma dumping on your post, I guess I just have to get it out in some way. Love your blog and thank you for spreading info and awareness about autism and ADHD 🫶
