up the wolves by bitterbones

Brother Kylo Ren is called upon to investigate a string of mysterious deaths in a small northwestern town. It's supposed to be an easy job; the culprit is an obvious case of unchecked lycanthropy. But too quickly he stumbles back into his painful past, and in doing so he uncovers so much more.

It was then, as she inhaled to speak, that she really caught his scent. It gave her pause, throwing off her game as she struggled to place it. It was far too earthy to be human, with notes of sweetness that befuddled her. Perhaps his size was inhuman, though she could not see how he was anything else.

“Can I help you?” He said, lowering his scone back to the wooden tabletop.

Thank you! That means a lot ❤️

Bitterbones comes from a line of a poem I wrote a while back:

These bitter bones/ lay down in better homes/ than I have any right to claim

(Mostly I just like alliteration. And 87 is my birth year.)

Aspidities is the name of my favorite snake genus. The name means ‘shield bearer’ in Ancient Greek, and there’s only two members of the genus—the woma python and the black-headed python. A woma python was my first snake, and he’s still with me today, so the genus as a whole holds a special place in my heart. It is not, as many folks have assumed, because it sounds close to ‘Aphrodite’ or ‘ass n titties’, but I applaud those people anyway.

This is Ramsay, the derpy inspiration behind the name:

Then she was in the air, above him, over him in a blur of flapping white and glistening tan. Acrobatic and glorious, his fulls lips parted and he sucked in an awed breath. Something, darker, more animal stirred in his gut and between his thighs. He pushed it down deep, clenching his jaw.

For the prompt: “Rey and Ben take turns brushing each other’s hair- they both have a tendency to not care for their own bodies (Rey being a desert dweller and Ben just.... depressed) but they care for each other to make up for it, keeping each other healthy with a series of checks and balances.”

  One night, laying in bed side-by-side, Rey’s honey gaze turns to him, observing him in the guttering candlelight. “When was the last time you bathed, Ben?” She runs delicate fingers through his hair and they catch on a knot.
