tagged by @sautrns and @farrradays, thank you both!!

this is from a collection of short pieces centered around where the cellar meets the sky’s core trio of Juniper, Avery and Isaac. TW for death, insects and like, uncomfortable descriptions, i guess?

Juniper wakes up to darkness.

Her tongue is dry and swollen, her eyes unable to make out anything around her. For a moment, or what could have been months, she’s back in the explosion. She doesn’t move.

The beeping of the monitor has stopped, the ringing in her ears dead silent. Is that what this is, then? Is she dead?

She’s never let herself think about death before.

Trying to move meets resistance, but no pain. She’s not warm, not cold, but somewhere in-between, somewhere that isn’t the neutrality of comfort either. Oddly, it’s as if she’s become a part of the darkness, one with the void. This doesn’t feel like the void, though. The void is bright. She’s been through it enough times to know.

Then, buzzing. It comes on gradually, it might have even been there the whole time, but once she’s aware, her skin crawls. She wants to rip it off, but she cannot move. There are bees in her skull, bees from the hive outside of Avery’s house, and she is dead and she has been handed over to the bees. What marvelous honey they will make.

i’m going to tag @writemares , @pechaes , @rhikasa , @starshots , @marcheuse , and @thegrievingyoung

__

ROWAN WAS PLANNING TO RUN AWAY on their eighteenth birthday. Technically, they succeeded. Technically. But waking up in a crumbling rebel base in another dimension was not how they planned on getting out of their shitty Alaskan hometown. Especially once they realize that their best friend is somehow involved.

COLLIN’S LIFE HAD BEEN STOLEN from her three years ago, and she’d been desperate to get it back. Now, back in Acendther, she really couldn’t care less about Rowan’s involvement, much to their dismay. Collin’s priorities were on fixing her old life, her family, and the rebellion. Three impossibly unachievable tasks. 

AVERY DOESN’T WANT COLLIN HERE. Plain and simple, it was her fault his life had been ruined, and he doesn’t want the responsibility of his cousin hanging around him again. They need her for the rebellion, the council says. She’s not safe in the Nigh. Well, it’s not up to him to care for her. Not anymore.

WILLA IS MISSING. When the three reluctant teenagers plus another band of ethically challenged abilitied are forced into forming Sanction 633, their faith in finding the council member will be tested, along with their faith in the revolution. But most of all, their faith in each other.

UPDATES AS OF SEPTEMBER 2019

hello everyone! some things about WTCMTS have changed, and therefore, some things about the WIP page, character page and character tags will be changing as i get to them. i am really trying to dig deep into WTCMTS’s timeline and the logistics of everything and really flesh everything out. so here we go!

CHANGE #1; CHARACTER NAMES

Collin Aisling Sutherland➪  Collin Aisling Fonseca-Sutherland

Rowan (no established MN) Tilley ➪ Rowan Cypress Tilley

Avery Bristol Charter ➪ Avery Evren Cathwrick

Noah Roslyn Pratten ➪ Jordan Renee Laroux

Reese Iseul Radley ➪ Reese Lowell Radley

Sage Emarosa Delgado ➪ Cecily ‘CC’ Vida Delgado

CHANGE #2; SHIP NAMES

Pratterland ➪ Sutheroux

Chartwell ➪ Rosewrick

CHANGE #3; PLOT

without spoiling much of anything, basically i’m changing some of the plot up.

i realized that i don’t actually ... have a lot of plot. my stories are very character driven, which is good, except for when i have 8 plot points based around character arcs and NOTHING to connect them whatsoever.

 BIGGEST OOF. 

so basically, i need to rearrange my timeline, maybe cut some plot points that are a bit extra, and figure out the bigger picture. because right now, they’re too sporadic. 

THAT’S ALL FOR NOW FOLKS!

hope y’all enjoyed this update! 

the next step for this WIP writing-wise is more fleshing out. 

editing-wise, i’m planning to make some name-meaning edits now that their names have changed and they actually mean something. 

i also want to just make some general edits if i can find some inspiration, although for editing i do like to have prompts or challenges (so if you have any send them my way LMAO)
