we take that pinky promise shit seriously.

update 116.

august 12th-19th.

erm, so yeah. busy week. i'll keep this update short because, well, there's not much to say.

everything i said last week still stands: i'm at the end of the chapter and am closing in on the final few thousand words. as of today, august 20th, all i have left is Blane's scene and chapter eleven will be done. finished. completed! here's to hoping that scene doesn't give me a hard time, but considering how much grief it gave me back in february and ...

update 115.

august 5th-11th.

hellloooooo. how is everyone? i've been really busy (and will continue to be busy until next monday; rip my sleep), so all i can hope is that you're all faring better than me. despite the lower word count, i feel like i accomplished so much with this chapter. i genuinely think i can have it completely written in the next two weeks, which, like, oh my god?? finally?? but i'm not going to get my hopes up until i can scroll through my document and see ever...

on blane and the hunter.

synopsis: Blane's relationship with the hunter, from N's pov.

Before [N], no one had ever believed in Blane. A sad statement, but unfortunately true. After [N], though, came a few others. Some that were there to begin with, but didn't yet have the privilege of knowing Blane to be able to believe in them.

[N] says privilege, because it truly is a privilege to be friends with Blane. Both in their eyes and [N]'s. People have told them th...

update 114.

july 29th-august 4th.

helloooo!! i hope everyone is doing well! i’ve been so tired the past few days even getting out of bed has been a chore; someone tell me to stop making plans with people on my days off from work 3

but right, down to business. chapter eleven. i wrote less this week (again) because i had a couple of family issues, but as long as this week goes smoothly i think i can bust out 5000 more words by the next update. if you have a good mindset, then...

update 113.

july 22nd-28th.

so, i got a bit of writer's block. it's not nearly as bad as it usually is, but she's there and she's apparently very stubborn. i know exactly what the problem is though, so it shouldn't be so much of a long-term problem as much as it is a little pest at the momment.

i started reworking Blane's scene this week. for what reason you ask? well, i hit a point with A&N's scene that i wasn't in the mood to write and switched over. genius right? wrong...

on [a] and the hunter.

synopsis: [A]'s relationship with the hunter, from Rylan's pov.

If there's anyone who would understand that things aren't always what they seem like on the outside, it's Rylan. That said, when they look at your relationship with [A] they wonder if, for once, it really is just as easy as it looks.

They first met the two of you on the battlefield. While it was not the most ideal situation, it gave them a first-hand look at how well you ...

rylan's influence.

also, for those on the midnight tier waiting for the [A] drabble, it should be up by sunday! i'm having a bit of writer's block when it comes to it but i promise it'll be soon <3

update 112.

july 15th-21st.

we reached 500k total words woooo!!! what a crazy milestone. i remember when i thought this book would be no longer than 300k and i'd be done by the end of 2022... oh what a naive little thing i was.

but i'm happy to say that progress is moving much smoother than last week. i'll admit, i had very little faith that i'd be able to write at all, but i'm glad to have been proven wrong. i will say, however, that this doesn't necessarily mean i'm super c...

drabble poll.

who do we want next? i'm thinking of writing drabbles from the ro's perspective speaking on the hunter's relationship with another ro, if that makes sense? it'll make more sense when the first one comes out haha.

back to fluff.

update 111.

july 8th-15th.

there are two things i discovered after i went camping. one, mosquitos like me. like, they like me so much that my legs looked like i had chickenpox for a while. two, i don't like hiking when i am being eaten alive and sweaty. aside from those two points, the camping trip went well! (kinda). at any rate, i'm back home now and i don't ever want to step into the wild again.

but enough of that. as you can tell by the word count, i didn't manage to writ...

dig. [n alves]

synopsis: most of the time, N is just someone to be used. most.

note: ended things on a happy note. you're welcome (i did it to put myself out of my misery)

Everything you hear about being a middle child? All true. There are always exceptions, of course, but it's always true to a degree.

The eldest child is loved because they're first, though get significantly less attention as the years go on. The youngest is c...

update 110.

july 1st-7th.

hi everyone! i’m keeping this on the shorter side because i’m actually on my way to go camping right now, so i’ll be a little mia this week when it comes to writing and the short story (at latest, it’ll be up sunday morning).

but writing for this week went really well, if you couldn’t tell by the stats. i defintely lied when i said finishing K’s and Rylan’s scene would be another thousand words though because, phew, i would say it took ...

it's the little things.

update 109.

june 24th-30th.

hi everyone! happy july!

you might notice that i didn't write as much as i did last week, but i'm feeling really really good about where i am in the chapter. as i said last week, K's and Rylan's scene is completely outlined. i had hoped to write the entire thing this week, but life got in the way and, well, it seems like i'll be spending a little longer on it. i'm certain, however, that by the next update, i'll officially have it done. i likely onl...

court jester. [rylan villanueva]

synopsis: master manipulator, god you're so good at what you do.

note: lowkey starting to regret writing an angsty series because man, this sucks. ouch my heart. also i'm not entirely sure i'm happy with how this came out so apologies if it's not the best!

Rylan laughs. They smile. They giggle at things that shouldn't be funny. They crack jokes at awkward times and lighten the mood when they feel tension falling over a gr...

update 108.

june 16th-23rd.

hi everyone! i hope you're doing well! i got a good chunk of writing done this week and i'm very proud of myself. round of applause! it's mostly because i forced myself to sit down and write, but, well, you do what you need to. i had fun with it so, really, it's a win-win situation.

i'm very very close to finishing K's and Rylan's scene. i'm hoping to pound the rest of that out this week and wrap it up before moving on. i will admit, however, that...

growth?

K's definition of "nice" is a little different than most...

update 107.

june 10th-16th.

hi hi!! how is everyone?

i had such a good writing session last night and i'm so so happy about it. i don't think i've had that happen for a few months now; i'm really hoping i can keep the streak. i think a large part of it had to do with me going through my itch.io comments earlier in the day. reading various theories and thoughts on characters had me realizing how much i love this wor...

numb. [blane rekner]

synopsis: giant Blane lore drop????

Blane doesn't need a reminder. They're aware of every single misfortune that has befallen them. That their past is an explanation for who they are and it's impossible to change. That, realistically, it's not possible that everyone will betray them and it's okay to open up to people.

Still, they don't want to risk it.

The adoption system will do that to you. No parents, no relatives of any sort...

update 106.

june 3rd-9th.

hi! sorry about the lateness again; i've had such a hectic couple of days. i graduated on monday and got my diploma and jugsjkfskjfkskfsk it's so weird. and then yesterday i had the headache of all headaches so here i am, writing the monday update on wednesday. again.

i'm happy to say, however, that things are going well on my side! writing wise, i mean. i'm hoping to set up a more rigid writing schedule so i can get more done (and get this out to y...

tensions tensions.

who do we think they're talking about?

update 105.

hi!! once again, sorry for the late update! or, i guess this isn't so much of an update than it is just me popping by again. jetlag really did its thing with me. i only came back from my europe trip a couple of days ago, so i'm still adjusting, but it was so so lovely. copenhagen was definitely my favourite city that i visited and for those who haven't been, i highly recommend it!

story-wise, i haven't gotten rid of my brain fog enough to work on it yet, but i will say that i opened the...

lung capacity. [a devereux]

synopsis: sometimes, [A] feels like shit.

note: sorry if this is kinda choppy. i wrote it all in sections on different days (and then it didn’t save), because i’m still currently travelling. weekly updates will resume next week though!

Breathe. It hurts. Breathe. When will it stop? Breathe.

[A] feels like their head is underwater. Each puff of air creates bubbles, taunting them as they float to the su...

logical. [k de vries]

synopsis: to be immortal is to be haunted.

K used to wake up screaming. They used to startle awake, eyes wide, scanning the room for possible threats when in fact, their worst fear was in their head. They used to have to unclench their fingers from their bed sheets, ignoring how there were splotches of sweat on the fabric, some of the beads still stuck to their skin. They used to force themself out of their bed and into the bathroom, delibe...

update 104.

may 6th-12th.

hi! how's everyone doing? i'm going to make this a shorter update because i'm planning on working on chapter eleven throughout the night today. or, as long as i can stay up, at least. i won't be able to work on it for the next two weeks because i'm going to europe (!!), so this is my way of trying to catch up.

speaking of, since i won't be writing, there isn't a point in doing weekly updates for the time that i'm gone. as compensation, i'll post two...

the eyeliner is canon, btw.

have your cake (and eat it too). [a devereux]

synopsis: taste (part five of the senses series).

note: sorry for the delay! I meant to get this up earlier but i had writer's block on this drabble for a bit :(( i'm very happy with how it turned out, however. enjoy the fluff because the next series will be another angst one hehehehe.

The thing about [A] is that they can be quite oblivious. And by quite, they mean very oblivious.

No, those ...

update 103.

april 22nd-may 5th.

oh hi. how is everyone? it's starting to turn into summer here and it's improving my mood so much you don't even know. once i stop getting out of bed at noon and start writing 2k words a day it's over for you all!

on a more serious note, writing is going well hehe. K and Rylan are, as usual, super fun to write. getting to add in that scene where the hunter gives Rylan a packet of Pocky was just, ugh. cherry on the top. i remember a while back i...
