Is anyone interested in beta reading for a YA Arthurian Fantasy (99k)? Whims and Wishes has a whole lot of druids, fairies, banter, tragedy, mystery, and adventure. More than anything, it's about ~friendship~

I’m primarily looking for mutuals. Message me if you’re interested!

(PSA I’m looking for beta readers, someone who will provide general feedback about their reading experience in a relatively short period of time.)

Ronan Glenwood ( Hunger of the Pine - Alt-J )

Your heart wears knight armour

I'm there for you, be there for me

I'll hum the song the soldiers sing

As they march outside our window

Hunger of the pine

Sleeplessly embracing -- you

I'm a female rebel

Whims and Wishes: A Quest Across Elsewhere

Main Cast

I got this idea from @ardawyn ! I thought her Artbreeder posts were a cool idea and wanted to bring my cast to life using Artbreeder as well. These are the main troublemakers of W+W, and I think I’ll do another with the previous generation of characters who started it all.

Top Row (left to right):

Ronan Lellian-Glenwood (19, Bisexual, Half-AosSi)

Fig Dun’More (20, Straight, Druid)

Malin Muir (22, Asexual, AosSi)

Bottom Row (left to right)

Vaoirse Ren (20, Lesbian, Druid)

Mirabelle Sully (19, Bisexual, Human)

Whims and Wishes: A Quest Across Elsewhere

Chapter Twenty Eight Snippet

↳ The Battle of The Termondd

Ronan ran from the beast until a body crashed against hers. They both collapsed in the ferns, and once upon her elbows she saw it was Fig. They lay there, still, gasping for breath, staring at each other. This short reprieve from battle lasted two hundred years. It lasted a millennia. It fleeted.

His dark hair brushed his brows, which pinched with concern or doubt or both. Rainwater made his cheeks shine, and there was a small dent in his skin, right at the crest of his cheekbone. Ronan had resisted the urge to stare at him since they had reunited. She feared this new, older Fig could overwrite her memory of her childhood Fig. But they were once and the same, of course. 

She must look a mess, long hair knotted like a crow's nest. When they first reunited by the lake, she had the disposition of a newborn fawn and she knew it. Since, she had grown, gotten her legs under her, catapulted into the unknown and despite being utterly unprepared every step of the way, Ronan felt steady. Strong. The beast’s feet pounded louder, closer.

They balanced on the precipice of separation again. Fig gazed at her from under his eyelashes, his jaw clenching...  His gaze pinned her, held her together, and if he turned away she would suffocate. 

And he did.

And she did.

They fled away to fight each their own battles, alone.

the way of the blade — ivani anzer

unaffiliated | the mage | 28 y/o

❝Is...is Selena a mage as well?❞

Ivani froze in lighting the fire with her magic. She dragged her dark eyes up to Reís, and he flushed. ❝I cannot explain it, but she looks at me and I am unable to think; I am entranced by her. Is it an enchantment?❞

Ivani stared at his earnest expression for another moment before she snorted, returning her attention to the flames. ❝I believe magic is the least of your worries, if that is it.❞

IVANI had been studying magic and sheltering from the vengeful parts of the kingdom when she received a sign: the kingdom was in danger. She tracked the vision across villages and plains before she stumbled onto the group of champions. And even though she wasn’t particularly fond of the group (nor were they of her), she demanded she be allowed to see them through to the end.
