Rory

“I said cracked, not punctured… or broken…” Rory mumbled, but he let Leo help him to the door. They slipped outside into the cool night. Rory took in a slow breath and blinked, looking around him at the dim streets. I wonder if the agents are still out here? The thought made him grip Leo tighter. “Which direction?” And before…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

She was kind of beat up herself.

Leo

“Or two?” Leo’s voice fell flat into his Older Brother Chide “You’re not walking all the way home. Because if you walk that far we’d be going to hospital for them to treat you for a punctured lung, or two.”

Leo scooped up his gauntlets and clicked his helmet back in place, taking a moment t…[Read more]

@koshka

If we involve Barns we have to stop RPing until she replies.

Ya know, we could just go out the back door which she’s not guarding, and then if whaley still wants to join us it would be an easy thing for Barnes to find us again.

Rory

Rory shook his head and put his hand against the wall, slowly pushing himself up. “I’m fine. I’ll…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Leo

His teeth grit together against the fury rising up the back of his throat. Thirsty. He could fix that.

“I’ll get you water, but don’t you dare go to sleep on me, Kid.” He used Rory’s color to wipe the blood from his cheek, then stumbled to his feet.

First, to find water. There, a sign for a bathroom just outside the main…[Read more]

@theducktator

Great! I’m ready to get hit.

@koshka

“I… I don’t know where… all over…” Rory blinked several times. Leo’s hands were against his face. “I feel sick,” Rory grimaced. He wasn’t sure if it was the emotions, the spent adrenaline, or the amount of times he had been hit. “The Agents had me back there,” he said slowly. He rubbed the back of his hand over his eyes, smearing…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Leo

Alarm flashed behind Leo’s eyes like a rotating siren. He eased Rory back down and cupped the boy’s face in his hands. “Yes, I’ll take you home. But, Rory! Stay with me. Where are you hurt?”

He gave him a gentle shake to get those hazy green eyes to focus.

@koshka

Rory

Rory followed Leo’s gaze and saw the picture of a young man. He looked weary and depressed. He was making his way down a dusty road, his head bowed. But, just beyond him, a man was running down the front walk of a grand mansion, his arms open wide. Rory leaned on his arm, and his eyes drifted back to the picture of the shepherd. He…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Also… randomly started singing “Something to Live For” from Fiddler on the Roof. XD

@ellette-giselle

XD I’m glad you love him.

*Shows Leo your message*

Leo: *confusion*

(Also, this wasn’t easy to write without going on a 300 page praise break at the end. XD)

Leo

Rory’s fingers dug into his armor as much as was possible. Leo’s eyes went wide. Panic flared. There wasn’t a lot of blood, but how much could be hiding in the…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Sure thing! I haven’t been snowballed in a while though…it actually looks like there’s not much snowballing anymore!

@koshka

(I’m gonna cry! I want a Leo in my life! Where’s my Leo? 😭)

Rory

Something inside Rory broke at Leo’s words and tears spilled down his face. Not the violent, desperate, broken sobs he had cried before, but gentle tears. The way Leo’s hand rested on the shoulder, the way it had felt against his forehead–– Rory had never known any…[Read more]

@keilah-h

THE FIRST ONE!!

Talk about that after you PUBLISH the book! You’ve read it a thousand times and so has your editor, you both read the first printed copy, catch all those mistakes, and then you make the big order and start selling them, only to see mistakes! *sobbing*

@whalekeeper

Uncounted times in my life I have entered the children’s section of our library, see The Tale of Despereaux sitting in it’s place, displaying that adorable cover. I wanted to read it for that cover, but somehow I never have.

I think we saw the movie (or something like it enough that my brain is confused) at my aunt’s house. It w…[Read more]

@trailblazer

I agree! I also think it’s important for the children to see their parents doing those things, too, because they imitate what is modeled to them (especially young children).

Totally!

@ellette-giselle

Leo

“Leo, why did you come? There’s nothing left. I’m tired of running and I’ve got nothing else to live for.” The kid’s eyes were dull with too much pain.

Leo felt his throat seize up, but he fought it down. Combed Rory’s hair away from his sweat flushed forehead. Night was shadowing the church around them, but Leo could sti…[Read more]

@koshka

wonderful!

@ellette-giselle

I’m back! I’ll try to get an RP in for Leo in an hour or so.

@linus-smallprint

I think it was a combination fo the letter and how Amelia was protesting at the beginning that she was not having plague symptoms.

hmm. Okay, do you think I should take out that part in the letter? Or should I just leave it and let the reader be happy that they guessed a plot twist or else shocked that they didn’t see…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Thank you again. I would like to do this with the illustrations in the Narnia books someday.

That would be AWESOME! Oh you really, really need to do that!!!! Oh that WOULD BE SO COOL! Please do, and post them on her and tag me!!
