from chapter 2, still early in the adventure.

“Thanks.” He was suspicious that she complimented him, but let it slide. “Did you want to talk about something?” He was now worried about whatever it was she was going to spring on him. She hadn’t been this cooperative since the execution and at the end of that day he found himself murdering two people, stealing two bodies, and committing arson. “It’s complicated.” Loke played with a fraying string on the finger hole of her one glove. “I know I’m a simple man, but try me.” Magnar put his map and pencil to the side to show he was paying attention. Loke side eyed him but let her gaze fall back to the @re as she let out a slow breath. “There’s really not a lot about the spirits. That much I knew. But what I managed to translate and test to a degree was that not only should there be a contract, but a person has to have an affinity for a particular elemental. I tried to fire Blu’s gun earlier and it wouldn’t. It wouldn’t even glow like it does for him. He has the affinity for it.” “Loke, if this is about what I said the other day about carrying your own weight…” Magnar hoped she wasn’t hurting herself on his account. She cut him off. “No, well, yes. But not entirely. It sparked some curiosity, so I felt the need to look into it. I tend to get absorbed in my work when that happens. But also, you’re getting rather expensive, so if I can cut back on how much I need to rely on you, maybe I can save a few taak in the process.” Magnar couldn’t help the laugh that came out. He had been worried when she was being somewhat nice and almost considerate, but there was always that bite at the end again.

#Sniptober 17 (properly quote posted this time!)

In which Dylan learns the hard way you don't interrupt a sibling fight.

#TY4LM 🦈

‘You know what, screw it, whatever.’ Nerissa turned away from both me and Marin and went over to my tide rock, kicking sand all the way. She picked it up and chucked it into the ocean. Guess I’d have to rely on memory now. ‘I should have never told you.’ ‘Told her what?’ This time, she didn’t turn around. Just sat in the sand, staring at the waves. ‘Nothing I can tell you, Dylan. Just go home.’ ‘Nerissa, don’t talk to him like that. Aren’t you friends?’ ‘Yeah, we are. But unlike you, dear -sister- Marin, I actually listen to dad. I don’t just do whatever the hell I want and get away with it because I’m a—’ Nerissa practically slapped herself with how quickly her hand went to her mouth. ‘Go ahead.’ As she took a step towards her sister, Marin’s white sun dress fluttered in the ocean breeze. ‘Say it.’

#Sniptober
Happy Saturday to folks! A snip from one of the oldest extant and most-rewritten chapters that made it to publication in TW!

In which the Atsises lays down an outrageous bet,
The King of Ill-Omens,
The Tipping World vol 3

“Who is it instead, Dsiabor?” She leaned toward him, hands clenching on the surface of her desk. “You would have me rush headlong into danger, leaving the enemy at my back or even in my inner council?” “Rushing headlong isn’t ideal, but while you sit here worrying about the proprieties, you give your enemies – and there are many more than one of them! – time to plan. To lay traps for you. Move, now, faster than them, and they will be forced to react.” “You would have me abandon the proprieties?” This insulted him, but he knew his own reputation for tedious rule-worshipping and didn’t let it sidetrack him. “As I said, I do what must be done. Once, that meant respecting one another’s boundaries, listening to one another’s opinions, and making cautious decisions in concord. Now, it means war. Stop attempting to compromise, stop attempting to persuade. You are the Lahar. Lead us.” At this point, Mairid had said his piece. She had begun to rely on his allegiance, but he had just given her such a shock she would be like to have nightmares about this conversation. She couldn’t trust him now, could take nothing he said at face value. She would spy a hundred avenues of misdirection in his every argument, however well-stated, however logical. He had known that when he came. Then she had the nerve to say, “The Code demands—”

#Sniptober

Dr. Eiflman may be a self-involved, oblivious rich man, but at least he’s relatively personable and not unkind.

morning putterings in the study. To Bayle's relief, he looked relatively chipper. "I'm very sorry to interrupt, Sir. I just wanted to take a moment to apologize for my tardiness this morning. There was a bit of a transportation mishap." "Oh dear, are you alright?" "Of course, Sir," Bayle stammered a little, realizing his white lie had missed the mark. "To be clear and honest, the 'mishap' was merely poor planning on my part. I missed the bus. It won't happen again." "Ah, well, I suppose I can't be too hard on you for that. I'm the one who sent you down there after all. Mr. Nguyen is a courteous man and I appreciate him stepping up on your days off, but I do rely on you." It wasn't a scold as much as an expression of affection. He accepted it with a grateful bow. "Yes Sir. I will be much more careful in the future."

I had to swap for depend(able) today #Sniptober pals!

Dorian opened the SUV door, winter air sweeping in sharp enough to make his lungs ache. Rae and Lunaris untangled themself from the backseat, stretching, shrugging into coats, shaking off the travel. Amon helped Lunaris out with a steady hand, grounding, measured, dependable. Rae needed no assistance. She rocketed out of the car like a firework, boots hitting pavement with a purposeful thud, hand already finding Dorian’s waist as though homing in by instinct, not sight. Her big, bouncy red brown curls sprang free, catching the light and brushing her cheeks with kinetic energy. Gods, this girl, he thought, fondness blooming behind his sternum. She was messy and electric and brilliant like a storm, impossible to tidy, impossible not to love. Huge amber eyes sparkled with mischief and warmth, and her tiny button nose scrunched in mock offense as she bounced along. She’d stolen his heart so fully he sometimes wondered if she’d slipped in between his ribs to do it.

OH! i have this one! Most of the time it's used, it's Loke re-explaining the same thing to someone new 😅 at least this instance is less of that.
#WritingCommunity #SnipShare #Sniptober

“So, what was that fancy technique, Loke? Did you somehow learn some magic over the past few days?” Magnar didn't remember her using anything of the sort before. Loke frowned, hoping she wouldn’t have garnered too much attention, but something that bold was hard to hide. “In a way. I don’t have any affinity towards the typical elemental spirits, but I haven’t had any major backlash when trying to utilize time. I found something in that outpost that reminded me of something that had been staring me in the face the whole time and found a way to put into practice. But for now it’s complicated to use. I’ve only figured out how to slow things down, but it doesn’t last long. At least I should be less of a liability.”

#Sniptober "elemental"

from A Prayer for the Pirate Queen 🏴‍☠️ 💜 ⚓️ currently in third draft revisions

Iona sat back, hands tucked behind her head, puffing out thoughtfully. "It's not unheard of, for some creatures. Especially the ones who, like us Islanders, have Pora ancestry because of their shared subjugation. Though there is treachery aplenty in that too. Many creatures' ancestors before the Pora were nought but elemental spirits, not sentient in the same sense as you and I. The oreads of the volcano on Pheranassus, for example, might take umbrage at the Islanders describing half their heritage as a product of subjugation; before the Pora interbred with them—however they managed that—the oreads didn't exist."

hi

“What happened,” Maria said, “is that the moonstones responded to your greatest desire and reacted accordingly. In your deepest, most desperate moments, it acts like a heartbeat. A part of you. And that’s when your power is unleashed.” Nick tilted his head. “So … is it all elemental? Do I have to keep carrying these things in order to fight?” “Yes, to that last one.” Jacari said, “As for your powers, it doesn’t all have to be elemental. It’s just what usually happens. When Maria and I first used them, it was more… well, we’ll tell you about it when we know each other a little better.”

Going with 'basic' as the synonym, with a short snippet from Damon's recovery in Violent Angel. He can be very dedicated, but getting back in shape after a serious injury is hard!

#WritingCommunity #SnipShare

“Serious workouts in prison kept Damon from going insane, and he’d kept up the habit once he got out to fill his days between job hunts, so he was in damn good shape. Or had been, anyway. But two weeks after getting shot and basic stretching, along with a short walk, got him dripping with sweat and sliding to the floor. Ready to stay there. Maybe forever. It’s a very nice floor.” Excerpt From: Bianca Sommerland. “Violent Angel.” Apple Books.

No elemental, went with basic.

I wish I had a mom like Dylan's growing up. He's lucky I gave him a better one~

#TY4LM 🦈

‘I dunno when I’ll be back so don’t worry about it,’ I said, and followed it up with a kiss on the cheek. Her right eyebrow drifted up to be lost behind her wavy bangs. ‘What, a son can’t kiss his hardworking mother on his way out the door?’ She put a hand to my forehead and one to her own. ‘You’re not sick are you? You don’t feel sick.’ I shrugged, stepped out of the garage, and started jogging up the street to the pool and courts. ‘Is it a girl?’ she called after me. ‘You’re not going to see a girl are you?’ ‘Not one I haven’t told you about!’ I said over my shoulder, and then I was out of range of further interrogation. About halfway to the courts, mom pulled up beside me with the car’s passenger window down and matched my pace on the road. ‘Tell Marin and Nerissa I said hey!’ she said with a wave. I nodded, and she drove off. When I got to the courts, I was surprised at the state of disrepair they were in. I mean, yeah, it wasn’t like this was a fancy country club or anything, just a small public pool and pair of asphalt courts that practically nobody used. I knew that. But even so I figured I wouldn’t have to do much to get things into playable order. Adjust the net, sweep off the leaves and palm fronds, basic stuff. How wrong I was.

Nothing close. So I'm going with vibes.

“Not really, but I’ve seen you fight a few times now. And I can normally see you calculating and strategizing. You looked wild here. On a rampage. Are you feeling alright?” “These were the slavers who captured Ash.” Blair said. “I know,” Nadia said. “They used me as bait. Dragged me from my room and let me freeze in the snow to trap Ash.” Blair nodded. “That too. I may have enjoyed that a little too much.”

For #Sniptober

The story in A Nation of Distances is a sort of prequel to Ronan and Pyra's story, and for him it's history. A lot has happened since then... (It's not even 25 years ago)

Photo, no description
@starbuds-and-roses.bsky.socialOct 15, 2026, 5:55 PM

I have a bit of a long one, since the lead-in is cute ✨

Baz always gets Cecyl books while he’s away, and unfortunately, that sometimes leads to falling in love with a series that can be very difficult to track down

from “the big wip”. . .
#Sniptober #WriteSky

a screenshot of several paragraphs of text, the word “prequel” bolded and digitally underlined in light purple. it reads: Bazyli went to withdraw for breath, but Cecyl dropped his book into his lap, buried his fingers into Bazyli’s curls, and pulled him back in for another, catching him mid-breath, open-mouthed. Not that Bazyli minded. Especially when Cecyl sighed into the kiss and drew a moan out of him. So warm against his freezing lips. Eventually, they fell away from each other, and Cecyl moved to hold Bazyli’s face in his hands, cheeks like ice against his palms. “Someone missed me.” “Never leave me again.” Cecyl managed to keep his expression serious—frowning, a furrow between his brows—all but for the spark of amusement in his eyes and the slight twitch of the corner of his lip, one of his smaller dimples showing despite himself. “Well, good thing I don’t plan on leaving home anytime this week.” Cecyl kissed him again, /hard/ but brief. Bazyli chuckled, about to say something before letting out an, “Oh,” instead. Bazyli blinked and reached into his coat-pocket, pulling out a vaguely book-shaped item wrapped in light blue paper and bound with twine. Cecyl let go of Bazyli and took the gift into his hands. “I believe this is the prequel to that one.” Bazyli pointed to the well-loved book in his lap. “How did you find this?”

#Sniptober "prequel"

No "prequel." So "prior"

Tristan nodded and then produced an crimson envelope with a wax seal from inside his vest. The seal lay broken open on the envelope. The Countess raised an eyebrow, “A communication from Andreas?” Tristan nodded. “He reports another ruin from the age Brenin Arzhur. An ancient hillfort now stands where a village had been a month prior. The villagers are gone. The village itself is gone.” The countess tapped her lip with her index finger, “Another one? This is happening faster and faster.”

#Sniptober day 15!

This one was tricky, so I'm going with vibes and sharing the story before the story from Violent Angel. Elliot's origins are an important part of how he becomes a skillful merc. It also shows why he struggles to form attachments.

#WritingCommunity #SnipShare

“Hot metal bars dug into Elliot’s little hands, but he wouldn’t let go. Hauling in stuffy air stinking of rust and garbage, he swung his weight—along with the one hanging on his leg—to reach the next bar. Then the one after. Almost to the warped wood platform… If I can do this, I can do anything! Elliot would prove he was strong enough to be a hero, just like in his favorite stories. Suddenly, the weight disappeared. A hero doesn’t let his men fall. Twisting while still holding on with one hand, he glanced down to where Lux had been clinging to his leg, but the toddler was gone. If he’d hit the sand, he’d still be there, trying really really hard not to cry like he always did. There weren’t even any marks from where he’d fallen. Confused, Elliot dropped down, crouching in the shadows of the jungle gym to scan the park full of skinny kids and bored adults. In Elliot’s old red T-shirt and jeans, his curly hair almost white, Lux should stand out unless he’d been trampled already. All the other orphans ran around like uncaged zoo animals—spotting his tiny friend under the stampede would be almost impossible. But…there, a big man with a sunburned, shaved head who didn’t belong. The bow of his massive shoulders, the way he strode directly through the park, was off. And even with his worn leather jacket billowing around him to hide it, he obviously carried something.” Excerpt From: Bianca Sommerland. “Violent Angel.” Apple Books.

Prequel huh?!
I have just the thing. We have to accept vibes but I have a couple pages of my upcoming comic book “A Slip of Fate” to share.

Artwork done by the amazing Xander! (Theartofeverything) on tumblr who you all should follow because he is amazing.

A multi panel comic. Panel 1) a hand tapping a pen, panel 2) a booted foot tapping panel 3) a closeup of a sweating face with freckles. Panel 4) our first look at the full character, a long shaggy haired guy in a red shirt and ripped up jeans seen from the back. He’s also wearing fishnets under his shirt. Panel 5) the same man as before, but now shown sitting beside another man, drawn in a blue hoodie with a short quaff of hair. The two men are sitting in a classroom of some kind. A multiple paneled comic page: Panel 1: The man in red is blushing and appears to be having a day very erotic day dream about the man beside him. Panel 2: shows a red pair of legs being pulled into the lap of a blue pair of legs. All around the daydream is a cloud of pretty purple. Panel 3: the man in red attempts to shoo away the daydream but accidentally waves at the man in blue. Panel 4) the man in blue waves back and smiles. Panel 5) the man in red gulps and has a little thought bubble that says “fuck”

#Sniptober 15
No prequel, subbing with before.

And, well, the middle school years do kinda feel like a prequel to the main event high school years of #TY4LM 🦈

Also Dylan's mom is the best and she works hard to make sure they do fine even without his dad around while staying emotionally available~

It was the last Wednesday of summer break before I started my first year of middle school. My mother was rushing around trying to fix breakfast for the both of us (eggs, bacon, toast, the Wednesday usual) and gather her materials for work. Of the five weekdays, this was her busiest day at the college she taught at. She never woke up early enough for it. After breakfast, we walked down the hall to the garage and the cherry red VW Beetle that sat waiting. For her. I was just following. ‘Huh? What is it, Dylan? Did I forget my bag again?’ I glanced past her at the leather fold bag resting upside down on the passenger seat from her just tossing it in, then shook my head. ‘I just want to go for a ride.’ Mom pressed the button clipped to the sun visor above the driver’s seat and the garage door opener’s electric motor whined to life. As the door rattled up over the car, she raised her voice to be heard over all the noise. ‘To work? You know it’s my busy day, Dylan. How about tomorrow?’ I shook my head again. ‘I mean my bike.’ ‘Oh right, right.’ She waved a hand at my red Huffy 21-speed mounted on the opposite wall, then closed the car door. ‘Well go ahead and take it out first, I’ll shut the garage after us. You remember the code right? Of course you do. Oh wait, dear, it’s raining.’ ‘It’s just a sun shower, mom,’ I said, pushing my bike onto the driveway. The air smelled sweet with the sprinkling we were getting. ‘I’ll be fine.’ ‘Okay, but if it keeps up come right back inside. Promise?’ ‘Alright, alright. You’re gonna be late again…’ ‘Ah, you’re right!’
