update 44.

WHAT I DID.

fun fact about me this week, i got sick. i live in canada, so best believe everyone around me is slowly getting ill and passing it on as they recover. unfortunately for me, despite how much i brag about my tough immune system, i caught that very bug. as it is, i spent a lot of time in bed rather than doing my assignments or writing, which explains, for the millionth time, why my update is so small. apologies. 

i don't have much to say about chapte...

a delirious state. [a devereux]

synopsis: featuring a 'you came' A and a 'you called' hunter.

A likes to think they have a pretty strong immune system. Pretty strong, because every so often, there comes a time when A goes to bed perfectly fine and wakes up feeling like they've trekked through hell and back. This is one of those times.

It's five in the morning on a Saturday. A Saturday, for God's sake. They shouldn't be up, having only gone to bed a mere three hours ago (they we...

update 43.

WHAT I DID.

i'm going to make this short and quick: not much has happened. mentally, i'm not doing the greatest which makes writing this in my 'free' time even more difficult since i've been spending that sleeping instead. hence the short word count update. things might get even shorter for the next couple of weeks as i switch gears to write the holiday shorts i've been promoting. i know many of you would tell me that i should just scrap it, lest i put too much pressure...

oh, dramatics.

deleted scene (chapter three).

an alternative beginning to the training room scene with Blane. initially scrapped because i thought they came off too aggressive, though looking back i don't see as much of an issue with it. if anything, the current version is ruder haha.

update 42.

WHAT I DID.

sorry for the late update everyone! work had been crazy lately and with me entering exam season, i've been finding it difficult to balance everything in my life. but you didn't come here for updates on my life, so i'll tell you what's been happening with when twilight strikes. 

as it stands, i haven't written on the project in two days now. not because i don't want to, but because i just haven't found time. i tend to write at night after ...

unconventional seating.

crash and burn. [blane rekner]

synopsis: featuring a 'you came' Blane and a 'you called' hunter.

Blane is dry heaving. Their vision is blurry, spots dancing around the blurry objects in front of them. A bookshelf. An abandoned tablet. A hand that they know should be theirs, though it feels heavier than any limb in their body. It can't be theirs, can it?

They drag themself to the wall, pressing their back against the peeling paint and soaking in the cold. A window, right above ...

update 41.

WHAT I DID.

hi, i hope everyone is well! for this week's update, i'm happy to say that chapter nine is officially under construction!! i had previously mentioned that i struggle with writing the openings of chapters, mostly because i'd spent so long editing and coding that the 'flow', so to say, simply leaves me. with little to no plan for this chapter (initially), i was even more worried about getting writer's block, but thankfully, things have been smooth. while i'm n...

deleted scene (chapter one).

back last january when i was first starting the book, i had the idea of having an option for your relationship with A to start flirty right off the bat. in all honesty, i'm not sure why i scrapped the idea—i assume it had something to do with it not fitting my image of A's character—but it's fun to look back on nonetheless. 

drabble vote.

thinking of doing a "you came, you called" series for the five ros. i'll do one drabble for each but depending on what wins, it'll either be 'you came' or 'you called.'

update 40.

right off the bat, i'll tell you that i have not started chapter nine (unless you count one sentence as a start. a sentence that has a ninety-nine percent being cut, that is). i know i usually give estimates on when the next chapter will be out but chapter nine is, unfortunately, my least planned chapter out of the entire book. should i be admitting this? probably not, but here i am. not that i don't know what i'm doing—i have a vague idea for what needs to happen in this chapter, just not ...

possible titles for chapter 9.

yes this is my writing. yes it's messy.

obsidian ink. [blane rekner]

synopsis: Blane recalls the one time they contemplated dyeing their hair.

Blane tried dyeing their hair once. They were thirteen, stood in front of a sink with gloves on and a box of hair dye in hand.

They didn’t know what they were doing.

They stared at themself, wondering how the shock of pure white would turn into obsidian ink. How it would look against the complexion of their skin. How they would startle the first couple of times they...

chapter eight is live!

finally, finally, finally, chapter eight is now live on itch.io!! the password you're looking for is aspookyupdatemeansangst (no spaces, all lowercase). the chapter is bound to have some mistakes here and there as it has yet to run through my beta-testers, but i hope you enjoy regardless. it's been a wild few months getting to this point.

in this chapter…

update 39.

WHAT I DID.

i’m going to rush through this update since there’s not much to say, but i’m getting very very close to the end. as in, the midnight tier will probably be able to play it friday (at latest).

i finished my first round of edits and am working on my second, simultaneously coding as i go. i usually separate the two but i got so tired of straight editing that i decided to mix it up a bit—and it’s actually working really well. that’s really all i...

petition to give sebastian a vacation.

you drew stars. [a devereux]

synopsis: a little look into how much A values the hunter

A's skin is a map of scars. They litter their arms, trail their legs from their thighs down to their calves—they're certain there's one on the shell of their ear too, a nick from a near miss of claws from a werewolf who lunged at them in their first year.

For all the wonder of warlock healing, this is one of the downsides. The magic heals so fast, sometimes, that it's more prone to leavi...

update 38.

WHAT I DID.

if last week was monumental for being the biggest update i’ve ever written, this week is monumental for being the smallest—my word count literally went down. it might sound odd, but i’m actually happy about it.

as you might know, i recently completed my first draft of chapter eight. my routine from here (if you’ve been with me long enough you’ll know) is to do two rounds of edits, code and then send it off to beta-testers. usually at this sta...

update 37.

WHAT I DID.

apologies for the late update! it's a holiday here in canada (thanksgiving; we do it a whole month earlier than americans for some reason) and i've been caught up between that and my job.

but enough of that. i want everyone to scroll down, look at the word count i accomplished this week and come back up. are your eyes bugging out of your head? mine too. you may be wondering: is this the same person who struggles to write 2-4k a week? the answer? absolu...

transactions.

to keep you company. [k & rylan]

synopsis: Rylan crashes at K's place for a night.

note: this is set about a month and a half after K and Rylan meet. it's also about eight to nine months before they meet the hunter.

"You adore me."

"I do not."

"Oh, come on. How much alcohol do we need to drink before you admit it?"

"It won't happen. You have too much faith in yourself."

"Because I know you actually enjoy my company!...

update 36.

WHAT I DID.

hey, it's been a while, hasn't it? a whole month and a bit, where does the time go? it flew by for me, but i know i can't say the same for everyone else. i hope you're all doing well. i know the break helped me <3

now, onto business. i'm nearly, nearly, nearly done chapter eight. i wish i finished it before october, but at most, i'll be only two to three days past my fantasized deadline. when i left you in august, i had three major scenes to complet...

update 35.

WHAT I DID.

hi, hello!! as you can see from the word count, i didn't do that much this week. i've spoken a lot about my energy levels the past couple of updates and as such, i've come to the conclusion that i need to take a break. that includes here, patreon. so for the month of september, i'll be pausing the billing cycle and won't be posting any new content. alongside university starting again and struggling with my mental health overall, i need to hit the reset butto...

an offer on the table. [n alves]

synopsis: featuring a meeting between Caine and N at the six-month mark of Blane and N's partnership.

note: i'll be doing a couple of 'lore' stories in the next coming weeks, just to change things up a bit. hope that's okay with everyone <3

"Let me know if you want to switch."

N blinks. Did those words really come out of Caine's mouth? They're sure they're gaping, but if Caine sees the confusion on N's ...

update 34.

WHAT I DID.

between bingeing haikyuu and going to work, i have no clue how i managed to write as much as i did. in fact, this is probably my most impressive word count update in a while and i don't know how it happened haha. but a victory is a victory and i won't complain. 

my main win this week? finishing A's route. with that down, i'm more than halfway done the hurt-comfort scenes—and thank god for that. as much as i love writing these, they've started to...

two pretty best friends.

update 33.

WHAT I DID.

another week, another route down. i think i deserve a bit of a pat on the back for that one—i feel like i'm flying through these. granted, i might only feel like i took forever with Blane's route because i went on vacation in between and wrote most of it at the airport/on the plane, but still. i'm getting there.

this week, i finished K's route and officially moved onto A's. to talk about K's for a second... gah. the sacrifice scene was a lot more emo...

intuition. [rylan villanueva]

synopsis / prompt: placing a hand on the back of the receiver’s neck, the sender guides them close and rests their foreheads together.

content warning: discussion of death and grieving.

Anniversaries are hit and miss. Some of them are happy, like birthdays or relationships, where you celebrate how long you've been alive or how long you've been together with someone. Some of them are more mundane, like how long...
