Self-Care Saturday (but on a Tuesday)
Rules: Look through your work and share something you're genuinely proud of. This can be from something already shared or a WIP, and can be writing, art, media, or anything else, of any size. Then tag as many people as you like to do the same. Take some time to enjoy and be proud of your own creativity today!! āØļø
I have approximately 9 billion WIPs right now so I will share a few if you donāt mind :) also tagged by the ever-lovely @junosjukebox who if you arenāt reading their work you are MISSING OUT!!!
1) (Soft Place to Land)
āHuh?ā George looks back at Oscar, trying not to get blown over by how beautiful he looks standing there, glowing golden in the warm rays of sunshine that seem to be shining directly on him like a heavenly spotlight. His mouth goes dry. He hasnāt wanted anyone this bad in years ā maybe ever, honestly. So just his luck that this man is his fucking boss.
Oscarās mouth is moving, but George doesnāt hear a word of it. Kimi is talking too now, toddler babble directly into his ear that goes right out the other side.
Georgeās skin feels wrong, all hot and itchy. His brain is moving too fast, tripping over itself trying to make sense of the seemingly infinite ways his life had changed irreparably over the past 24 hours alone, writing and rewriting itself into his skin, moving too fast for him to keep up.
2) (as of yet untitled Shailinin fic)
His head falls forward, forehead resting on Mishaās shoulder as an involuntary whine slips out.
Mishaās hand shifts, moving to card through his blonde curls with a soft reverence that sends shockwaves down his spine. āWhatās wrong, Ilyushka?ā He murmurs, hardly more than an exhale right beside Iliaās ear, hand still scratching gently at his scalp.
āYou make me feel soāā he pauses, tongue-tied. He feels so much. Every nerve, every cell, screaming and singing and tugging him towards the Qazaq like a gravitational pull. Misha is the sun and Ilia is just a satellite caught in his orbit.
āSoā¦?ā Misha encourages, his other hand wrapping around Iliaās waist, palm flat and fingers splayed on the small of his back.
āSo much. Like Iām drowning and youāre the only thing filling my lungs. And it fucking burns and it might kill me but I love it too much to come up for air.ā
The hand in his hair pauses. āIs that⦠a good thing?ā He asks slowly, nudging his nose against the crown of Iliaās head until Ilia looks up at him.
Ilia blinks a few times, languid and slow. āI donāt know,ā he says honestly. āItās a lot. It scares me sometimes. But I donāt want to stop.ā
3) (RAWNSYF)
Sasha leaned back, crossing her arms. āHave you considered, oh, I donāt know, talking to her about your concerns?ā
āIām not good at that.ā
āWell get good at it, or sheās gonna find someone else who actually communicates.ā
Picking up her coffee again, Anetra let out a long sigh as she stared forlornly into the half empty mug. āFine. Iāll try. What do I even say, though?ā
āI say this with all the love in the world for you,ā Sasha paused, making sure Anetra was looking at her. āIf you canāt figure out what to say to her yourself, you arenāt ready to be in a relationship.ā
Anetra blinked owlishly. āRelationship? We arenāt ā I mean, that is to sayāā she paused, fidgeting with her hands. āIād love to be in a relationship with Marcia. I like her so much it hurts. But sheās not ready for that.ā
āHas she told you that?ā
~~~
Wow thatās long but I hope theyāre some fun reads :) Iāll tag a few friends to continue! @glindalesbian @sapphire-to-the-rain @the-georgia-on-my-mind @aqpippin @lulas-moon and whoever else wants to!
