Oh It’s not just @linus-smallprint. He just said a few things that have already been bothering me in the back of my mind. It’s this aggravating struggle to rewrite something and pull it out of the ditch of not-so-great writing and up to the level I have worked to achieve now.

It’s always been a story that’s been close to my heart,…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Unless you have something exponentially more important, I’d say go for it.

Why? What reason do I have?

(not to sound dark or depressed. But is it truly worth it?)

@koshka

Rory

Rory slid back, but his eyes were locked on Leo’s hands in a half memorized, half terrified stare. There was a very bad memory at the edge of his mind, and he didn’t know what it was, but he really didn’t want it let out.

@linus-smallprint

I know. *sobs*

Okay, sounds good. Maybe next week?

*sighs* some of this feedback is depressing. I wonder……. these books were written so long ago and comparing them to the stuff I have written now, they’re just not as good at all. Are they even worth trying to rewrite? Rewriting is so hard….. is the message and…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Yay!!!!

aw, thanks for making me laugh. Smaug the laptop ate two years of historical research and I’m so not happy.

I’ll look at this right away!

btw, do you still need me to wait until April now that you sent this?

@ellette-giselle

Leo

“We’re going to fix this tile.”

He opened the bottle of sealant and carefully poured it into the cracks between shards. It pooled over the tile in a nice, whitish gloup. Using a paint scraper from his belt, Leo spread the stuff out until both broken tiles were covered in an even layer.

“This stuff will set up hard as steel…[Read more]

@koshka

leaving the kid anywhere didn’t seem…wise. He had a back for getting into pickles.

Love that!

Rory

Rory winced slightly at the list Leo had rattled off. He’d used just about every one of those things. And the memories that accompanied the usage were bad. Very bad.

“Looks like we’ve got most of this. Ready for a blowtorch?” Leo asked…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Leo

“Ah! Many thanks. You didn’t cut yourself, did you?”

Rory looked down at his gloved hands and shrugged. Leo carefully picked up the shard. It slipped in place, filling the largest gap.

Maybe he wouldn’t need aluminum alloy after all. Which was good. He’d have had to leave Rory here guarding their work to go find some, and…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon General science

@ellette-giselle

Yes actual killing please.

lol no I’m actually serious. This isn’t the rp for that.

@elishavet-pidyon Yeah Hugo caught back up with them. He was only gone for like a minute. I’m not sure what to write for that group rn, sorry.

@koshka

Rory

Rory’s eyebrows went up. “You build bombs?”

He dropped to his knees beside Leo and instantly recoiled with a stifled gasp of pain. He quickly shifted to a sitting position, absently rubbing his injured knee. Something sharp pricked his other hand and he held up a thin shard. “I found another.”

@ellette-giselle

Leo

“Eh, maybe.” He looked up, eyebrows bunching together. “Except the plan is to get everything to fit perfectly together. So, maybe.”

He settled another piece in place. One tile was coming together quite nicely.

“I’d think of it more like fitting a bomb shell with it’s cordinants. All the bits have to be just so, or your…[Read more]

@koshka

Rory

Rory stared at him. “Is it kind of like tactics? You know, attack plans. The officers organize all the troops so that they can effortlessly wipe out the target.” He paused and chewed on his lower lip. “Maybe not…”

@ellette-giselle

Leo

“Good question.” He sat back on his heels and reached for another broken piece. “I think it’s some sort of game, or at least that’s what a friend of mine said. You have a picture that’s been cut up into a lot of pieces, and you have to put the pieces together to see the full picture. Or something like that.”

He rearranged…[Read more]

@koshka

You could read his story if you wanted. You never replied after the last chapter I sent.

But you might not like it.

Rory

Rory blinked at the shattered pieces. “Jigsaw puzzle?”

He clenched and unclenched his gloved hands. He was still getting over the water incident. Leo acted like it was all normal, but Rory had never seen anything…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Ooooh, you’re cruel. Tossing that out there like that after I’ve already fallen for this character and everything. *Turns my glare on you*

XD

Leo

The two tiles had broken up, pieces scattered across the hallway. Leo knelt to pick up a piece. It’s edge was rough, sharp enough to cut skin. Porcelain then. Although it had been…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Oh gracious. XD

@koshka

Ah yes! I would love to see his tactics! Rory is going to pick up so many bad, (possibly useful) habits.

Yeah… well he’s still been through worse. Maybe not physically at this point in his life, but he’s in a far better situation than he was, busted up or not. And as for later…….. this is gentle compared.

@ellette-giselle

Oooof…no…*glared at Wyoh*

I’ll probably zip them off somewhere to *ahem* illustrate Leoron’s interesting fixing methods.

Rory is not fine, he has broken ribs and a cracked knee, and no you don’t build immunity to broken bones. XD

@koshka

Then write it!!!!!

WRITE! WRITE! WRITE!

And I won’t stop chanting until you send me a section.

Must read!
