Happy MerMay!
Tumblr media
The Fairy Portal is about twin siblings, Blake and Emily, who love tromping through the woods, hiking and exploring. But only Blake believes in magic and the Fair Folk until he and Emily accidentally enter a fairy portal and Emily carves their initials on the pathway through: a giant, old white oak. A fairy curse falls down on their heads and they seek help from their grandmother, Florence, and her friends, two resident cottage witches, Clementine and Dix.
When Clementine and Dix give Blake and Emily the Fairy Sight, not only do they finally get to meet their source of ill fortune (a tiny, grumpy woodland fairy named Tassie), they have to make a deal with her to repay the woods for what Emily has damaged.
Meanwhile, there’s this beautiful Merrow boy who keeps following Blake from lake to river to stream…
YA Urban Fantasy. M/M with a bisexual male lead and multiple queer secondary characters.

Last Line Tag(s)
I've been tagged several times in various last line tag games -
@writernopal here; @writingrosesonneptune here; @duckingwriting here; @autumnalwalker here
Thank you! I'm editing with sparse bits of new writing, but I can share what is quite possibly my favourite line in Chrissie's so far:
There’s a dark-haired pretty little thing who goes by Mary at a skin bar off Carnaby Street - she uses that name to do a confessional act (‘forgive me, Mother, for I have sinned’) that’s going to get her arrested for blasphemy some day (or it would do if she didn’t have have half of Bow Street and a good number of the Church of England’s dogcollared members wound about her pinky finger) - and I think it’s a good time to pay her a visit and remind her why I’m her favourite customer. 
I'm going to tag @mrbexwrites, @vacantgodling, @late-to-the-fandom and @kaylinalexanderbooks - no pressure, as always!

Out of Context Line Tag
Thanks for the tag @televisionjester! Sorry to hop on this so late. I haven't wrote in a hot minute so we're pulling from the void. Here's a line from something I haven't really finished.
I tag: @illarian-rambling @revenantlore @the-void-writes @nanashi23 @i-can-even-burn-salad @kk7-rbs (Only if you want! Open tag too)
I'd tear through my own flesh with yellowed teeth. And I could let the pain anchor me, at least in the moment. As my toes beneath grasp at the shitty carpet through blackened socks.

7,781 words written over the course of April, a couple thousand less than the previous month but I am far from displeased with the outcome.
Now on to May
from kiss me with your fist
The next time Java sees Ves, his nose is bleeding. He tries to pass it off as allergies, as an irritant in the air, some unknown cause he can’t place. His jaw’s still aching, teeth still grinding, desperation still running wild under his skin.
“Didn’t think you’d show,” she says, without looking up from the stack of records she is flipping through.
“I didn’t mean to.” Which isn’t untrue. He hadn’t meant to come here, but routine decided his route for him. One foot ahead of the other on an aimless walk to clear his head, and now here he is, hands stuffed into his pockets while he idles beside her in the stuffy warehouse-turned-records shop. “It’s Saturday.” He says it like that should clear anything up, and to anyone else, it wouldn’t.
Finally, she lifts her head, brows rising and stopping right below the band of her backwards cap. “You look like shit,” she says, and he feels the words deep in his bones, a truth he can’t deny.

Sometimes you'll intentionally give your characters mental disorders and sometimes they developed them all on their own
