Main WIP 

The Lightsworn Saga

Daughter of Shadow and Sun

Centuries after the war between the Lightsworn and the Fallen, the Saviour who gave her life to end it is reawakened with no memory of who she is or where she came from. Now she must fight to find the truth behind the Fallen King’s obsession with her, while balancing on the thin line between Light and Dark.

The Lightless Path (Lightsworn #1)

Set after the events of Daughter of Shadow and Sun, magic has long since disappeared, and the home of the Lightsworn has been left an abandoned and sacred graveyard. But Aira, a homeless thief from the streets, has been plummeted into a life she never dreamed of. As the next Lightsworn, she could be the city’s only hope of stopping the Darkness’ return.

Tagged by @mrbexwrites, thank you! Here are some more lines from my recent fanfic shenanigans.

I felt, rather than heard, my words break as they hit the air between our lips, and watched as her eyes glazed with tears, as they rolled down her cheeks. I quickly removed my gloves, threw them to the grass before cupping her face in my hands. When my thumbs tenderly brushed away the tears her eyes slid shut. I pressed my forehead against hers, and her hands came to rest against my chest. And with that touch, the relief that consumed us was unmistakable. Her fingers tangled in my shirt, holding me in place. I pulled back just enough to let my gaze roam over her eyes, the tip of her nose, her lips. She was looking at me again and, finally, I let my fingers gently push back the loose tendrils of red hair behind the beautiful curve of her ear. 

Full story will be posted soon, and then I can get back to working on my own stuff.

Word is: DRAB New word is: PINK

Open tag!

D: "Don't play dumb," he said with a click of his tongue. "We both know I know you better than that."

R: Resolve hardened in my chest. I pushed myself to my feet, strode back down the dusty road beneath the heartwood giants, and balled my hands into fists as I went over what I might say.

A: And yet this human woman had me spinning in ways I never thought I would feel again. Had never dared to imagine. Had never wanted to hope.

Tagged by @space-writes, thank you! Doing a little catch up.

Here is something from my recent fanfic:

I shook my head. I made a decision, right there, my jaw feathering as I clenched my teeth. I covered the space between us slowly, not wanting to alert her, not entirely sure what was happening in this moment. Carefully, I slipped the leather gloves from my hands, stuffed them in my pocket, and her eyes darted between my face and my hands several times. I took a deep breath to steady myself, only inches between us now … and reached out a hand to take hers. Her fingers wrapped around mine, almost instinctively, and a gentle wave of calm washed over me. The softness of her skin, the small callouses on the pads of her palms. I felt all of it, taking both her hands in my own and brushing my fingers over every inch. White, pale skin against deep purple.

... close enough. I can't wait to edit this.

tagged by @space-writes, thank you! I'm super late to this, I just hadn't written anything in months ... but I wrote a fanfic recently, so I'll be taking some lines from that.

Rules: share a sentence with the number of words specified, so for 1-10 you write 10 sentences in total with an increasing word count each time.

Solitude.

Do something.

She nodded. "Yes."

A spark against stone.

Resolve hardened in my chest.

A glimpse of fire, of warmth.

It didn't matter; I was here now.

She hummed in surprise. "I like dragonflies, myself."

The mere sound of her voice made me freeze.

"All I know is that I don't wanna stay away."
