Not-So-Secret Secret Assassin

Ok! I’m back! @whalekeeper @rae IDK how we’re gonna collide with each other but ehh whatever.

Soldier

I beckoned with a wing toward the door, and Sniper followed me, Huntress still unconscious on his shoulders. He set her down in one of the rooms.

I decided to try to look through the cupboards in the opposite room. Maybe there was…[Read more]

Lucille

None of that sounded like a definite answer, so Lucy shrugged. She was just as interested in becoming a secretary, anyway.

A clap of thunder rumbled in the distance. Bugs chirped louder as if getting their last voices in before something louder arrived. Gabriel and Lucy sped up, jogging over leaf piles and patches of heather.

@ellette-giselle The Tangled one is me when I read my one fanfic that I spent half of 2024 writing lolllll

I vacillate between “Why did I write this, this is weird” and “This is peak writing, I love it”

The other memes are so accurate too haha

@rae

Because she’s a diva? 🤣

Lucille

For a while, neither of them had anything to say. Lucy slipped the leather cover onto the hatchet, and they moved on, the tree’s fallen leaves trailing behind them. While they had spent time there, a darker mass of clouds had approached on the horizon and the wind howled somewhere above their heads.
“Do you…[Read more]

@rae @elishavent-pidyon @mineralizedwritings Y’all are SO GOOD how–

@linus-smallprint I love your style, it’s so cool. I don’t know if there are Narnia graphic novels, but I’d totally read one drawn like that. Your characters’ eyes are very expressive.

@rae

Broooo I just realized you and Rumi from K-Pop Demon Hunters would get along

Lucille

“You save their butts from dying and they hate you because of irregularly distributed pigmentation? These people sound stupid. Chihuahua brains. You should ditch them.”

@whalekeeper Your brother is an absolute diamond lol. Sounds like you have a good relationship with him.

@rae

Unvale looks fun

Lucille

“Why not tell everyone? They’d stop hating you then.”

@rae

I figured something like that lol

Lucille

“Huh. Okay.” She threw the hatchet again and succeeded. “Why don’t you tell your – uh – friends what you’re really doing?”

@rae

Lucille

Lucy pulled the hatchet out of the tree. Her cheeks glowed red from the effort and her arms felt good from the exercise. She cradled the head in one hand and the handle in the other, striding back to Gabriel.

She didn’t smile very much, not doing so on the best of days, but gave him all of her eyes’ attention. “Is Isabella your sweetheart?”

@rae

Lucille

“Bet they wanted you because you’d win.”

She stepped forward, gray eyes focused sharply on the tree, and the hatchet sunk into the bark.

@rae

Lucille

It soon became obvious that Lucy had less trouble using her own strength than quelling it. Every time she threw the hatchet, she overshot and sent it zinging back over the stoned ground.

But aiming seemed like a more important thing to get right, and after a couple tries, she remembered to pause and focus on the tree. She hit the…[Read more]

@rae

Throwing axes is pretty fun, I’ve done it a couple times

Lucille

The hatchet was smooth and solid in Lucy’s hand, curved to fit her grip. She tested its weight before nodding to Gabriel and pulling her arm back.

With surprising force, she whipped it at the tree. With a metallic clang, the hatchet ricocheted off the stone wall behind. The…[Read more]

Marcel

Marcel narrowly dodged. A boy, the wind-controller from the previous period, had already taken to the air. It made sense to place the flying students in opposition to each other. “Celarent! You don’t want me to follow you up there, do you?”

My brother: *Listening to a song with the lyrics ‘I just can’t run away’* “Actually you can, girl. I’d run away if I were you.”

Me: “No you couldn’t.”

Brother: “Why not?”

Me: *Looks pointedly at his disabled legs* 😁

Brother: *Bursts into laughter*

…

From the outside looking in, it is strange to be someone who only watches disabled sports…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Five months later I have to say, that’s a great quote

@rae

Lucille

Lucy handed him the hatchet. She also rolled up her sleeves so they wouldn’t get in the way. “Are we gonna chop wood?”

@linus-smallprint Perfect pronunciation!!

@rae
Lucille

“Why not?”

@rae

Gabriel rn 😤😐

Lucille

The key turned into bright green dust in Lucy’s hand, falling from the lock like sand from broken glass.

Despite her choice, she glanced back at her home door. One part of her wanted to sit beside it for hours. But that didn’t matter now, since she couldn’t get in and seeing her parents might make things worse.

She…[Read more]
