#FridayKiss: Theme: CREATE ⛏️

The sculptures and figurines that filled the stall took my breath away. Colourful discs sanded down to mere slivers created soft, vibrant curves that stood out against the harsh, uneven angles formed by deliberately cracked sleek marble and polished rocks. Sharp versus elegant like me and Julian.

#FridayKiss: Theme: COZY 🔥

“I hadn’t expected your flat to be so… 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘆.” The door slid closed behind Thomas. “The rooms the elders put me in are so sterile and minimalist. But this… the colours are so vibrant, and I love the pillows. Is this how elves really live?”

Royalty statement days are like quarterly time travel documents went and had a baby with math, but today I’d like to say thank you to everyone who picked up Felix Navidad!

(This is what it’s like when you release a book in December. You find out what happened half a year later.)

#FridayKiss: Theme: FRIENDSHIP 👬

Unlike touching finger pad to finger pad, holding hands was not a request to mate. It was a simple gesture of friendship, sometimes intimacy, amongst humans. "It doesn't have to lead to more," Six had said.

Kim threw her another megawatt smile. “Did you always want to create cocks?”
“From the first time I saw one that wasn’t mine, I think,” Billie answered with a wink.

#FridayKiss: Theme: ACTION 🎬

Running my hands across Julian's freckled cheeks got me a moan. He seemed very eager. "I thought you went clubbing with Nick tonight?"
"I did."
"Not enough action, lover?"
"Oh, plenty. Doesn't mean I don't want more, though."

#FridayKiss: Theme: RING 💍

Duncan Ellsworth's casual statement of the contract between the King and his tactician left my head ringing. A contract my alleged great grandmother signed when she became the first to take up the position of King’s tactician.
She signed away her bloodline to save the island she came from.

To Addi

To Addi
For you are a winter rose a spark of color in a monotone realm,
A hellebore, a flower that I hold dear to my heart with the meaning of serenity,
I see the rays of golden sunlight reflected in your hair of carmel,
For not a day in my life that has been worse off for knowing you
I wish to see you in more days to come,
For your presence is radiant like the sun,
and I'm honored to bare witness to your beauty and kindness.

The Abomination of Loving a Woman

They say it's an abomination against the heavens the love I hold for you,
And I couldn't disagree more, for any love that brings to life the desire to create and defend should be celebrated,
But even as I scream this at the top of my lungs they lash me to a pole, for their daughter could never love a woman like me,
I am nothing more than a witch they scream, a servant of the devil himself, for no god would allow a love like this to flower deep in our hearts in a festering wasteland such as this,
I see the tears pour down your cheeks as they shield you from the words I scream so loudly I taste blood as the fire they lit dances a damning dance around me,
If this love is nothing but sin then I must be a devil sent to walk this world for nothing has brought me more joy than the time I've had with you,
There has not been a moment happier I've experienced than our moonlight walks lakeside,
I scream curses as the fire rises higher leaping like a hungry hellcat at me,
And how it pains me to see that pretty face of yours twisted in pain and grief as they force you to watch your lover burn

Brennial Stonebraid was an old dwarven judge. Ey might have been small of stature, ey certainly were of the highest status within the business, winning quite a few of these contests emself. Eir appearance always had something 𝗺𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 to me, prompted by some old Earth literature that had been salvaged from the old pads our ancestors used.

Some days, Roan regretted 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 things with Kalf. They'd both known it wasn't going to work. Roan couldn't handle Kalf seeing other elves. And Kalf? Kalf wasn't made to love just one mate. But there was no denying to anyone that they loved each other.

With midwinter blowing in, my life resembled a 𝗺𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 mess. On the one hand, the sun smiled on my house with Enfys moving in soon. On the other, ice nibbled at my feet as I’d promised to take him to see the ice bears during the celebration, but had yet to tell him I was one of them.
