When are you bringing him over to the barracks, SAH? We're all anxiously waiting to meet him!

This tiny little fellow is Private Hudson. He has ruined my sleep because he sleeps in bursts and detects my snoozing with uncanny accuracy. But he is my buddy and we are gonna have some adventures. 😍❤️

Welcome to the platoon, Pt. Hudson! And worry not, ole Chippy's here to show you the ropes. 🫡

(Also omg Jim that is the cutest lil ball of furrrrr. 🥹♥️)

She is rather delightful, it's true! 😁

He does seem to get roped into things! 😅

Thanks for having me back, old friend! 😁 There's a lot of catching up to do. 😅

Ahhhh, so cute! 🥹♥️

"Ai don't drag me into this!" 🤣😂🤣

Poor Kena, just living his life. Love the last bit too, haha! This has always been one of my favourite snips, because it perfectly encapsulates the different dynamics between the three of them. 👏♥️

I've posted this scene before, but I couldn't resist with this word 😂

Icozoue makes a bargain with Mireia (and Kena, against his will lol)

Oh goshhhh Carly, I can cut the tension with a knife! Between Fynn and Zane eh? 👀 "He loves you, you know." - Ahhh!

So well-written! 👏 Always love reading your snippets! ♥️

Annora flinched. “Fynn—” “No. I get it. He saved you. Big damn deal. And now he’s back like it’s some kind of fairytale reunion. You have no idea what she’s been through,” Fynn snapped. There’s a pained look on Zane’s face as he scans me from head to toe, probably looking for any visible injuries. “You’re right. I don’t. But I’m here now.” Fynn shakes his head. “Not for long. She belongs here, Zane.” “Why don’t you let her decide.” I close my eyes for a beat, and when I open them, both of them are staring at me… waiting. This isn’t about the past. Not tonight. Placing a hand on Fynn’s shoulder, he finally relaxes a fraction, jaw still tight. “Please, Fynn. Can you just… give us a minute? You can stand right outside. Please.” Fynn hesitates. Those dark, blue eyes search mine for something—some sign that I’m choosing him. Then, with a clipped nod, he pulls back. “One minute. This is still an investigation, not a family reunion.” He walks out, but the tension remains. When I glance back at Zane, he’s watching me carefully. Making my way to the cot, I sit on the edge, avoiding the stains and bandages. The cot shifts as Zane drops down beside me, close, but not touching. “He loves you, you know.” I swallow. “He’s… been there for me. He’s been my friend for years, Zane. He’s been picking up the pieces since I got here.” “Do you—Do you love him back?” His words are barely a whisper. I don’t answer right away, and he inhales sharply, staring up at the ceiling. “I don’t know what I feel.” Slowly I let my head rest on his shoulder, his arm curling around me. He exhales, slow and full of something like peace. “But I know I missed you. Even when I hated you, I missed you.”

A very rough #WIPSnips from the unfinished book 2 of The Annora Project. #writingcommunity #writesky

After Zane trips a new explosive device, he’s detained for questioning by the leader of Fynn’s faction of The Resistance.

Ooo I love it! 👏

🤝 Both of us posted snips where an MC meets an old comrade today! Great minds think alike, eh Nicole? 😁

#WIPSnips 21. “Deal”

Ashrah makes a deal with an old comrade.

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

"Ground rules?" "Yes," she says sternly. The overhead seatbelt signs light up, and we begin putting away our papers. "Rule one: try not to attract too much attention. I don't know if we'll run into anyone I know, but I don't plan on advertising that I'm back in town." I give her a big thumbs up. "You got it," I say. "Rule two: if anyone does recognize me, or starts asking me questions, let me take the lead." I nod, and she gives me an insistent look, reiterating her point. "I mean it," she says. "You might not agree, but in some situations, I'd rather deny being a lesbian and just not have to deal with their yee-haw attitude." "Okay," I tell her. I consider for a moment, looking up the aisle of the plane. "Do you want me to act like a man?" I ask her. "While we're in Sunnyside?" If more people saw us as a man and woman together, it might make Grace more comfortable—less seen—during our stay. Grace clicks her teeth. "No!" she chastises. "I don't ever want you to pretend."

Not having the snips to post consistently has me feeling like a sneaky lil gremlin, tiptoeing in and out 😂

"deal"

Context/CW: they are going back to Grace's hometown, where she was outed as a lesbian. MC is nonbinary & androgynous and is basically offering to be her beard.

Ooo, marvellous snip! Love all the subtle little implications, and I especially love the relationship they have.

😁🙏 Yay, that's sort of what I'm going for. Dark clouds on the horizon sort of vibes.

Ah I see, yeah, probably for the best then. 😅

Ooo thank you Sage! 😁 I'm awful at tension so that means a lot. 🙏

Aw Kay, that’s so incredibly sweet. 🥹 What a beautiful memory to draw inspiration from. I can only imagine how deep and lovely a love like theirs must have been. 😭

Yesssss! 🧛🏻‍♀️😈 Ashrah and Camilla would get along fabulously, I think. And I assure you, one way or the other, the humans are gonna learn... ⚔️

Thabks so much, Carly! 😁 Polo and Camilla may have a bit of a history too... 👀

"Turn the other fang" was a fun one, hehe. Appreciate the kind words. ♥️

Ooo thank you so much, Emmmm! 😁♥️🫜🫜🫜 Camilla was so much fun to write - I was aiming for a mix of slightly seductive and slightly dangerous, but I got the balance wrong and she ended up becoming a bit like Morticia Addams. 😅

And oh boy, the city is on the verge over here. 💥

Very kind of you, buddy! 😊🙏

Lady Shadow’s plans are coming together, meaning more Demons of the Between Realm will awaken. Can Daisuke and Obito step in before she offers them a blood oath?

Ooo, I like this! Looking forward to learning more about them. 😊

Jayro and Anora still haven't been able to admit their attraction and have just had a huge shouting fight in front of the crew, who are still pretending they aren't fully aware the two are in love.

Jayro has retreated to the cargo bay to hide from his feels

Thanks! 😁 Always glad to hear that the more subtle lines like these resonate. 🫶

Wooo! Can't wait to see it. 👀

Thanks, Ellie! 😁 I was hoping the implication would come through adequately.

It might work! But warnings tend to have little effect on people who consider literacy to be optional.
