Will Smith, Princess Diana Hockey

writers who became friends, and friends who became writers—we've built something together. passing drafts, sharing ideas, saying what if and meaning go further. even when it’s The Character™, even when it’s something silly or erotic, the care is real, the bond is there. and to hold it in my hands—a chapter, a page, a thing made—and feel how much attention went into it!

proof that friendship can be built through making, that creativity is a form of trust, and that something imaginary, made together, is very, very real.

Finally finished this Ellie piece 😋

they’ve fought, bitten, drawn blood, and still can’t find a way to make the parts of them that just want to belong to each other meet in the middle. but here they are anyway, broken hearts entwined in a mess of lips on scarred skin. cheeks wet and eyelashes clinging. a bone-deep guilt sinks in while ellie mourns in dutiful, almost urgent strokes of her fingers. they can’t be real, but how can they not be when it’s this good? it’s stupid how much she still wants it. she convinces herself the “it” she means abby’s release and that alone. abby lets herself get lost in the feeling of fingers tugging at her hair if it means she can entertain denial for an hour longer. ignores the bitter ache in her arm and coos filth to hopefully rid herself of the lump in her throat.
