I never finished got around to writing much in that series. I don’t even remember what happened with it. Probably just got overwhelmed with too many ideas and burnt out before I could really get started knowing me.

But! I adored those characters so much, and their relationship with one another, that the spirit of them still lives on in my novel. Ammon and Akil even have the same names. Ammon is now married to Jahi, though, and they have a young daughter named Masika Brooke.

Anyways, the point of this was that I thought about doing a little post talking about this small family, who I lifted from an old series that never got anywhere.

Maybe it’s just because it’s 1:30 in the morning but god

I’m thinking about the power of names in certain contexts, and how for Leo his first name is so much more than just a name, because his parents believe that when they adopted Leo, and gave him an Egyptian first name like their own, when they called him Akil, it was their way of inviting him into the family not just now but forever. In this life and everyone that would come after.

Real joy is realizing that at the end of the day, this is Ravenwood, and I’m not sure the character who’s dads may or may not be heavily implied to be immortals and have some connection to the gods, I’m not sure he’s actually the oddest/most unbelievable of them all.

By the time it comes up I’m hoping it’ll be like “Ravenwood is already so goddamn weird. This might as well happen.”

Eli watched from the doorway of the bathroom, his heart clenching slightly as he watched his best friend move so gracefully, so effortlessly around the room, in a world where nothing but the music and him existed. The dancing was beautiful, and more importantly, so was the boy doing it.

Eli pushed away from the wall as Leo turned back to face him, beckoning with one finger for the man to join him in the center of the room. And as Leo led him through the more elaborate part of the song Eli couldn't help but laugh, mostly at himself because he kept stepping on Leo's toes and couldn't keep up, and eventually Leo shoved him away, though not in a mean way. He had a coy and teasing look on his face as he chased Eli backward until he hit the edge of his bed and fell onto it suddenly.

Leo danced away again, but Eli didn't bother to get up. Just propped his head upon his arms and watched as Leo made it to the opposite side of the room, swaying his hips as he moved. The song changed, and Leo began doing a much more ridiculous dance to the beat, still managing to look ridiculously good while doing so.

Eli groaned, rolling off the opposite side of the bed and trying his best to pointedly ignore his best friend and his damn good looks and brilliant moves. He was hardly successful, and kept stealing glances every few seconds. When Leo caught him looking once he smirked, sending Eli a wink that he swore should be illegal.

Eli felt his knees go weak and Leo smirked more, blowing the boy a kiss before turning away, laughing lightly because goddammit he knew exactly what he was doing. As is to prove his point Leo rolled his hips, and Eli had to grab the wall to keep from falling to the floor when his knees suddenly went weak beneath him
