sarnai help i thought I would start a new document to slightly rework my outline like i told you and I would re-type everything to doublecheck my thoughts...
guess who already has to rewrite her entire prologue lol
🫂
Okay, yes, that is an awful feeling, BUT it also means that you're one step closer to finishing the story and having the version you're proud of out in the world. So...kinda yay too?
Hi everyone, this is Tasha. You probably know me from my main blog @mer-acle, and here, I will basically be reblogging everything related to my novel that I post on main, so it's easier to sift through.
But what is Nemori, you may ask if you've stumbled over this on accident. So let me give you a quick rundown :D
──────✦❘•❘✦──────
(cut for post length)
Plot and Themes:
Nemori is the story about how others' ambition and selfish desires and impact the lives of those around them. 15 years ago, Marielle Payne disappeared without a trace, a missing person's case that was never solved. But she is not a missing person's case. She is a daughter, a sister, an aunt to people who are trying to live their lives with the echo that she left behind. And more than that. She's a woman caught in the grip of a nefarious organization and, unbeknownst to those on the outside, she's still trying to get home. In the story, we not only meet the Payne family, shaped by a 15-year-old loss, we also meet those who did this to them. The Gryphites Nemori, a Secret Society looking for the thing that turns people into monsters more than anything else; the promise of eternal life, youth, and health. In their eyes, it really is rather selfish of those who hold the key in their veins not to jump onto the opportunity to sacrifice their freedom, health, and maybe far more than that, to give it to them.
Characters and Relationships
Nemori has a rather big cast because of the Gryphites Nemori (Gryphons for short) having quite a few members, but I'm just going to introduce the important ones here
The Payne Family: The family at the center of the story, separated by the Gryphons' hunt for immortality. On the inside, we've got Marielle, outspoken, impulsive, and always one botched blood donation away from dying from anemia. She misses her family desperately, but she's glad she's got some people in her corner within her prison who make it bearable. The fact that the Gryphons recently took another girl, around the same age that she was when she was kidnapped, really rocks her world. On the outside, we meet, besides Marielle's parents, her older brother Jonathan, his wife Clarice, and their 15-year-old daughter Hannah. Nate had to deal with the loss of his little sister as well as the constant stress between not giving up on finding her and knowing it was probably not going to happen. He's about to find out the improbable option was the right one in this case. Clarice is kind but assertive, and the old tragedy only bonded her more to the family. Hannah never knew her aunt personally, but she knows about her. It is fair to assume that her love of crime fiction and true crime comes in part from living with an unsolved case. It will just not be a cold case for very long now...
Melody: Melody is the Gryphons' newest victim. Recently taken from the orphanage she was living in, she's still adjusting... well, let's rather say she's dealing with having ended up in a cult / secret society... and the fact that the person who acted like she wanted to adopt her ended up being an agent of the organisation.
The Resistance Not everyone within the Gryphites Nemori is cut-and-dry evil. Very luckily for the protagonists, we have a quartet of people who would also like to see this place burned, as diverse as their reasons for joining up were. Dr. Scott and George from the med bay, Annie the resident IT girl, and Jamie, guard and external spy. The scary part about this is, that even with this much help on her side, Marielle has still been trapped there for over a decade...
The Gryphons The main antagonist within the secret society is Anomine, unscrupulous, paranoid, arrogant, aka exactly the kind of guy you want in charge AND in control of your life. If Marielle's hate for him could be transformed into electricity, the entire town would be lit up for decades. Then we've also got Huffman, the shady business guy who kinda runs this place for real, and Williams, the muscle, unfortunately very easy to antagonize.

General Info
I'm currently in my first draft (more or less. I kinda wrote this story down entirely when I was younger, but this will be the new and improved version that hopefully makes some sense XD) but I'm hoping to publish it one day.
Genre-wise, I'd probably say Thriller with a touch of mystery. It's going to be a one-off book, not a series, and it touches on topics such as family, friendship, grief, trauma, power-dynamics, and sacrifice. (tags would include hurt/comfort, angst, everyone needs a hug, yk, the usual XD)
blood is included and it will occasionally end up outside of bodies ;)
About me
A little about me, the author: My name is Tasha Havenlock, I'm 24, study media, and I love hurt/comfort, found family, and, if you ask Ao3, breaking reader's hearts :3 Next to writing, I like drawing, and I'm kinda obsessed with pretty fonts and designs.
My ask box is open, and I'm really excited about this project and to get to share it with you.

Emori + Ships AU / Battle of the Exes : Emori wishes she were unlucky in love That might sound like a crazy to say, but when all three of her exes at the same time enter back into her life, Emori is left scrambling over what to do about it.
After calling it quits with him five months ago, Nelson, Vice President of COG Industries shows up at one of Emori’s business parties, dressed to the nines and proposes a business partnership with her computer company...as well as wanting to pick up where they left off. Emori, needing to weigh her options, tells him that she needs time to decide.
In the meantime, Raven, her girlfriend she had in college, drops in at her place for a surprise visit. After spending six years in the space program flying rockets into space, Raven’s ready to reconnect with their group of friends and settle back down on Earth. Raven also confesses to Emori that she’s ready to recommit to their relationship if she is. Again, Emori is left reeling.
Adding more drama to her life, Emori encounters John, her high school sweetheart and first love when she attends their high school reunion. John, now an accomplished chef with his own chain of restaurants, has dramatically cleaned up his his life, wanting Emori to be a part of it. It leaves Emori’s head spinning.
Three suitors, one heart to win. Who will Emori choose?
Echo and Emori for the ship ask, please?💕 (i already reblogged this one very recently😅 but if you want to ask something back, please feel free to)
Ohh those are intriguing characters, ty @theworldisbeautifulandcruel 😃 I sent you a couple back too thanks! I love reading everyone's answers to these things.
Top 5 ships for Echo (in reverse order!)
5) Echo x Bellamy: They were a power couple with a solid history. I think especially if they'd came back down to earth just as 'Spacekru living on a farm somewhere', the two would've been very happy together forever.
4) Echo x Emori: PICTURE IT- the delinquents never came to Earth. Instead we have Assasin!Echo meeting up with Theif!Emori while they are both trying to go after the same mark. It could've been something 😮
3) Echo x Raven: They could've moved worlds together, these two queens of their own right!
2) Echo x Roan: Jumping in mid-season I actually thought they were together when I started watching!? Great chemistry, I think it would've worked if the writers had went there. They are similar people in some ways.
1) Echo x Hope: They spend 6 years together on Skyring, already got so close and knew the other so well... I would've loved to see them as endgame. I think it would've been a very happy, healthy relationship for both of them 💚
Honourable mention to Niyah and Wells and Octavia all who I think would've been super sweet to see her end up in with too! 😅
Top 5 ships for Emori (in reverse order!)
5) Emori x Nelson: They had a lot in common, maybe in another world it could have evolved into romance? They had a great dynamic!
4) Emori x Echo: Again, in another life? 🤷♀️
3) Emori x Harper: I think they would have been THE MOST ADORABLE couple! They are both such sweet people, but in a way that they could kill you in 0.005sec 😂
2) Emori x Raven: I realize I ship her with 90% of Spacekru. Not even sorry, she's a queen who they would all be lucky to have!
1) Emori x Murphy: It was difficult to come up with other pairings for her tbh, because as long as she's been on the show its been Memori. They are so well matched, despite 7B I am thrilled that our favourite rebel!couple got a happy send off in the end 💙☺️
Emori and Nelson have carved out a life together. They’ve built a beautiful house, found careers they love, and have a marriage that they fought tirelessly to have.
And yet--something is missing.
It is subtle, yet undeniable and it’s given Nelson a terrible case of writer’s block.
