Rory

The sound of screeching tires flashed through his mind. Hand pushing him. Pain. Blood. Yelling.

But she had saved him.

Saved his life.

Yeah, saved me so the Agents could finish the job after interrogating me.

Rory bit his lower lip until he tasted blood. At last he let out a slow breath and looked up at Leo. “…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

I didn’t meet them up, but I also wanted to give Rory a moment to process. He’s like to need it, poor kid.

@whalekeeper @ellette-giselle

Leo

He scanned the street around them and gave a grim smile at the silence. Rory’s voice sounded beside him. “Which direction? Where are your siblings?”

Leo smiled. “Left, and they’re at home.”

He led them around the corner of the church.

“Rory, the lady from the bus is on the back porch.” He felt Rory sti…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

YIPPY!

(though Rory won’t think so lol)

oh no! what happened?

@koshka

go ahead and hook up with her then. she’s probably just outside. Maybe give Rory a little warning tho. lol.

@whalekeeper

Yay!

@koshka

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]

@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]

@theducktator

Oh, ok, lol! 😅

@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]

@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]

Well. I just scrolled through like, ten pages of this to count my snowballs. I think there was eight. I will be writing them up and posting them later.

@liberty

Sorry I haven’t responded to your KP fanfic sections. It’s about to get interesting, tag me when you finish the next one!

@theducktator Your signature isn’t from Of Fire and Ash, is it?…[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]

@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]
