Silver in the Ashes again, and spoilery with it, as things continue to go from bad to worse
( saranadosfiction.com/2024/10/12/s... )
Black text, green background, “need” highlighted pink He's right. The knowledge that he and Melody are in love never once made a blip in my plans to leave town with him. The only change I ever made was including him after Mom glamoured him permanently and he could leave her side and look normal. Because as soon as that happened, of course I wanted to bring him with me. But, today, knowing about the two of them, I'm in the same rush to get enough money to leave that I always was. As evidenced by my need for a money potion. "I just want a better life for you. For us. Nico, I want you to live somewhere where they'll accept you for who you are. Nobody here is going to do that." His eyes narrow as he gives a sharp shake of his head. He points to the picture again. Melody does. He waves his hand towards Azura. She does. He finds a photo of his band friends, all normies, and shows it to me. My friends do. Then, he looks me in the eyes and enunciates each word: But you don't. "I think tensions are kind of high, and we could all use a brownie..." Azura starts, reaching to touch Nico's shoulder as if she can calm him down where I couldn't. "Stay out of it," I say the same time Nico twists to mouth the same at her, his humerus hitting her hand. She winces and pulls it back, something he doesn't miss. He slams the phone on the counter and turns on his calcaneus to storm out of the house.
Nico gets mad! 😱
Kind of a long one, sorry
Context: Trying to explain why she wants to leave town with him, Lilia has just put her foot in her mouth & said “what you are” not “who you are”

“Nyx? What’re you doing here?” he asked, keeping his voice low. “I couldn’t take it anymore,” she said, staring directly at his chest. “Couldn’t take what? Are you okay?” he asked, concerned.Her eyes snapped up to stare into his. “I need you, Bronn,” she said. “I’ve put up with this for so long and I’m done. The sneaking around, the playing nice around our teammates, done with it. I need you. In me. Now.” “Nyx, this isn’t like Atlas, a lot of these windows are open. Somebody might hear-” “Damn the risks,” she snarled. “I don’t even have a co-” “Damn. The. Risks,” she repeated. She kissed him, a powerful surge of primal hunger driving her. Bronn wrapped his arms around her and she tangled her fingers in his hair, driving him back toward his bed. He sank as the backs of his knees made contact with the corner of the mattress, and she was on top of him, tearing at the leather baldric he was still wearing for some infuriating reason. Bronn was completely unprepared for the ferocity of the fox Faunus’ assault. He’d been used to the cheery disposition, even the cold, businesslike calculation of the former White Fang assassin. This was new. This was feral.
Some time after confessing their feelings for one another, Nyx seeks out Bronn in the middle of the night, with things taking a rather steamy turn.

“I have lost nothing that matters,” Oda shouted back, and there was a hint of annoyance behind his delirious joy. “You fail to understand. The power of the First Well is all I need. I would have trodden over a million corpses to attain it, and now it is within my grasp."

“If you’re not here to spar, what do you want?”
Akieryon glanced past her. “I need to borrow a weapon.”
“Weapons are earned,” Dani said in as sharp and commanding a tone as ever Lord Sidriel might have used.

“Very good, thank you,” Ethgar replied as the door closed back over. “To be clear, Racthoh, your theory is Tyrinal, after conquering Narhyalp and raising the dead under his command, then retreated to Krale, where he has slithered his way into the king’s favor. He now operates under their banner in some capacity, perhaps even taking complete control?” “Yes. The king and all of his heirs may also be dead, raised by Tyrinal and taking action under his command,” I answered. “Well, you’re confident in your position, and I will call upon you as needed in the planning hall. I won’t be the only one who has to suffer your arguments. Follow my lead.”

“For what it’s worth, I don’t think you’re broken. But if you want to change something about yourself, you have to do the work. There are no magic spells that can make everything right. No matter how much we wish there were.”

“The police said you have to expect things like that to happen to ‘that kind of girl’. But, she wasn’t that kind of girl, and, even if she had been, she didn’t deserve to be left to die in an alley.”
WIPSnips: shortcut
People often use alleys as shortcuts. This WIP is set in the 1970s, but, sadly, the kind of clarification this character gives is still necessary.

Background: A man in a yellow suit laying in sand. After a few short and rather uninspired speeches by local party representatives, the local MP walked up to the podium. I was starting to be concerned about the number of people dressed in yellow who were accumulating on the other side of the small group of Morality Party supporters. I was pretty sure they were econobrains and very much doubted that they'd come because they were reconsidering their politics. Unfortunately, the local MP was Frugmind. The fact that he was MP for University Valley was part of the reasoning for making him minister of science. Unfortunately, it soon became clear that his reputation was well known. People were shouting questions like, "What are you going to do about the eukaryotes?" "How many degrees are in a triangle?" "How do you plan to fight the mitochondria?" and "What's the chemical formula for water?" Somebody had written a speech for him but I'm pretty sure that person only had a basic knowledge of science. He wisely chose to stick to the speech and ignore the questions. That was until he got through the stuff about how the Morality Party's policies were helping the University and started talking about the wormhole to Sendracil City. A woman shouted, "Why aren't women allowed there?" There were a lot of cheers to show that many of the audience also wanted to know this. To be fair, I couldn't have answered this well myself. I didn't know the reason, I was pretty sure that any XT's who knew weren't telling us but we'd been told by the diplomatic service not to be critical of them. Frugmind took the bait and said, "Well, we don't want humans interbreeding with XT's, do we? What would the result of that be?" There was laughter from the audience.

Pt450 As with all things Indigenous, mats were assumed based on social order & sex assigned at birth. Gender identity & sexual orientation were an accepted spectrum, of course, like all of reality. The others—male & female—were simply cardinal balances on that spectrum, manipulated for order, for medicine. What was power, but ordering the chaos of the universe? So Indigenous people ordered their world with patterns & read those that existed without human intervention. Tuska & Adario slept on the south side of the cavern, Tuska taking the mat furthest from the entrance at the back of the cavern—the most protected space & best defensive position, the Micco seat. Adario took the one next to him to his southeast, though there were more than 10 others to choose from. Dawn, being of lesser rank than her clan brothers slept in the last upper path position on the due north. Sonoria slept in the warrior position to the north of the opening. Unfortunately, there was no #shortcut to I.T. It would take another week, at least, to reach the school. Dawn would stare at Sonoria’s #ink behind her ear until she got a chance to see if she had any elsewhere in more hidden places. Dawn suspected that Sonoria would make a move soon, maybe even tonight. Dawn had made up their mind to be welcoming. #vss365 #WIPSnips
A day in the life of Cassie Viveres: fixing a cash register's network connection in exchange for money and a sandwich, loading new code for a distiller's mash controller and sampling the worst vodka ever made, running wire and swapping out a burned motherboard, slamming cold canned coffee to perk her up, watching videos while waiting for a server to reboot, noting a baby announcement for a girl way too young who got with a guy way to old, and fixing an entire floor's pumping system for the food forest set up they have. Same shit, different day, and at least it pays!
