Free tag cause honestly I don’t know enough about my mutuals that haven’t been tagged already djxjfknfnf

Okay, from latest to oldest:

Bonus WIP first. “Don’t you turn like Orpheus” (provisional title, might stick) (Nellfia, from Renegade Nell)

Sofia had lost track of how many months had gone by since she killed Poynton and left Broadwater Hall with Thomas and naught but the clothes on their backs.

1. What’s in a name? (Nellfia, from Renegade Nell)

It was the middle of the Saturday morning rush when Nell’s classmate came into the Talbot Café. Nell knew the brunette to be obstinate, very smart and pretty quiet until the moment came for her to answer a question.

2. You’re on your own, kid, you always have been (Nellfia, from Renegade Nell)

Nell woke up that morning feeling like it wasn’t going to be a special day. It was an early summer day and as she looked out her window she could see the sky was clear of clouds and it looked like it was going to be a warm day. She checked her calendar even though she already knew what day it was and what it meant to her sisters and their father.

3. Loveless (Nellfia, from Renegade Nell)

Nell and her had been having a clandestine liaison for a few months when her father called Sofia to his office. What had started as just desire and a bit of fun, a way to release tension for both of them, turned into too much when Sofia started to enjoy the sweet touches and soft kisses a little more than expected.

4. Baby, you could be the death of me (Nellfia, from Renegade Nell)

It was a delightful spring morning, with a light breeze shaking the boughs of nearby trees, when Sofia was taking a stroll around the wooded area that encompassed one side of the village of Tottenham.

5. Watch me while I bloom (Nellfia, from Renegade Nell)

The thing about the disease was that it hadn’t been studied enough to know exactly how people got it. Was it contagious? Was it passed down by mothers and fathers through bloodlines? Medicine simply wasn’t advanced enough to know.

6. Baby I was born dark, full of holes in my heart (Nellfia, from Renegade Nell)

It had been about seven months since Nell Jackson had so very gracefully allowed them to leave and be on the run, and they had been hiding in plain sight.

7. When it all falls apart (Nellfia, from Renegade Nell)

As much as Sofia loves her brother she can’t help but resent him for all the trouble he’s been causing in the past few days. Barely a week and he has shot a horse dead and then killed a man for reasons that still escape her.

8. Just give me six months of staring into the sun with you (Seyloy, from the Horizon Forbidden West game)

When Aloy reached Chainscrape it was with a nervous but giddy feeling at the mouth of her stomach.

9. Lost for words (Avatrice, from Warrior Nun)

It was their first week of working at the bar and Ava had been tasked with learning how to make drinks, she’d told Beatrice that it couldn’t be that hard to follow a recipe or a YouTube video and then she spent the best part of the two hours after getting home and eating dinner researching and watching video after video. The next morning she more or less knew the basic recipes of a few drinks but the early morning training session was a bitch to get through, she was exhausted and the halo wasn’t cooperating by the end of it.

10. Nobody said it’d be an easy ride (obstacles in my way)

I really like piecing together scenes from canon that look like they could belong together, even though they don't. So this was kind of the scene I imagined when writing my most recent fic (although being set in pre-canon they'd of course be a little younger) but it was still fun to have a bit of a visual. If you want, you can read it here, but this is a bit from the beginning —

There’s a part of Nell that almost can’t bring herself to keep walking forward.

Cobblestone fades to dirt beneath the soles of her boots, the town’s modest buildings are replaced by the trees and thick foliage off the beaten path, and when she nears the same clearing she’s stood in hundreds of times before, she has half a mind to turn right around.

It would be so simple to do.

She could head in the same direction she’d come from, like she’d never even shown up at all. She could pretend that letting go for the last time should be easier than this, except—

“Nell.”

That’s when she sees a familiar flash of brunette hair that she’s secretly both hoped for and dreaded, followed by gentle blue eyes that quickly find her own from beneath one of Broadwater Hall’s large perimeter stone archways.

No going back now.

Nell slows her pace as Sofia draws closer, watching as the hem of her long skirt drifts out and around her before ultimately lurching to a halt when she stops just short of where Nell has. Her expression is filled with a relief that Nell now feels guilty having almost denied her of, and her words are tinged with a hint of grateful astonishment.

“You came.”

“I wasn’t so sure I would,” Nell admits. “Almost changed my mind ’bout five times.”
