Talking Business (Danjali 2)

She padded into her room after she had spent the evening dancing and entertaining for the court. Anjali had already spied out the noble that was to be her client for the night. He had kept his eyes on her all night with the same lust that she saw out of all men. Well, all men but one. And she wasn't expecting that one man to be sitting crosslegged on the edge of her bed. "The hell are you doing in here, Devyn Hummel?" she said, striding up to him. "I told you that you'd regret it if you didn't take your chance that night, but you can't just trespass! I should have the guards called on you." "Oh, you wouldn't do that. I'm here to m

The Courtesan Patch (Danjali 1)

The room they gave him for the night was very luxurious, with a four-poster bed adorned with dark purple colored drapes. The rugs beneath his feet sank at his touch. There was a blazing fireplace beside a small table with two chairs. On top sat an unopened bottle of wine, in what he was sure was an iced pail. Fresh ice, certainly. The room smelled of a mix of clover and cinnamon. The servant bid him goodnight and to enjoy himself before shutting the door. Despite the biting wind at this time of year in Chrysiope, the room was warm enough that he doubted he would need all of the silky sheets and coverlets that decorated the bed. Ever

Unexpected

Ethan paced. He only did so when something was truly concerning to him, and he was never one to ever be concerned by much. He was…is…an assassin. There wasn't much a sharp blade couldn't fix in his estimation. This was completely beyond his estimation in any way, shape, or form. The notion of creating life instead of taking it? It was more foreign to him than anything he could think of. Mira had been sick for the better part of a week and a half now. Any time they had meat or cheese with a meal, she at least got queasy, and often ended up bent over a bucket or the bushes outside while he rubbed her back and held the hair out of he

Devyn emerged from the veil of multi-hued dresses. Though her wardrobe was a rainbow, she wore the plainest of the bunch…but it was only plain to those that didn't know its story. The tan cotton dress was still fancy for that of a peasant, but that was because it was a wedding gown. After years of wear, embroidery and beading were unraveling and falling off. It was given to her by a rare sort of client: a man that treated her as a confidante and lover instead of an object. No one could value that dress more. "It's a good thing you're wearing that dress. Anything else would have been quite out of place where we're going." Anjali br

Nightmares by AimLane, literature

Nightmares

Emiliza woke to her husband clinging to her. It was never a good sign. She didn't mind being clung to, if not for the reason being nightmares. "Dmitri," she shook his shoulder gently. "Honey, you're having a bad dream again." He muttered something against her neck. She wasn't sure exactly what, but it tended to be things like 'Please let me sleep' and 'I'm free now." Heartbreaking things that were a constant reminder to both of them that, despite how he smiled now as if nothing had happened, that he had been wounded deeply. And it had taken Emiliza five years to place even a rudimentary patch over that wound. Just enough to free that de

Tears of the Sun (a short ME3-based fic)

It would be a foe like the Reapers who would make the world end so poetically. Ezra lay on his back, staring up. The horizon to the west burned and pulsed as red beams of light dug trenches indiscriminately through cramped living space and some of the world's holiest sites alike. Jerusalem was a battleground just as Earth as a whole was. Black spires bobbled as they moved and fired. One couldn't see the squid-like tentacles that they plodded around on from this far off, but the Reapers stood stark against the streetlights and flames. After twilight, Ezra always hid in the scrubland hills surrounding the city. Brilliant fireballs streamed ac

The Designer Dress by AimLane, literature

The Designer Dress

That dress was worth more than many a commoner's wage for an entire year. Made of silk and lace, the silver dress was crafted carefully by some Penalissian designer that sewed only for the influential and wealthy. Hematite and smoky quartz beads embellished the bodice, the lace probably took some underpaid worker a good year to knit and weave together, and it was hemmed in silver thread. Queens had worn shabbier gowns to court. It made her parti-colored skin look luminious…gave her a lunar glow that made her look at worst like royalty and at best like some goddess. Anjali loathed that dress. Her handlers, as she called them, purcha

Rent by AimLane, literature

Rent

The woman that sat across the table was slight and weathered-looking. Not so much a weathering of the body as the soul. She still wore her apron, fresh off work at the diner, and sipped a cup of coffee. Her hair was brittle and blonde, pulled back and into a bun. Her skin was pale, and darkened noticeably around her eyes. At only 30, Laney Erickson had already had more than her fill of misfortune, and it showed on her. "Yeah, yeah, I know. The rent's late. I'm doing what I can, but the people aren't tipping like they used to and the diner keeps cutting hours." The man sipped his coffee, black in contrast to the woman's two creamers and a

Twisting the Knife pt.3

Dmitri considered Val. "I hope you don't mind me asking this all of a sudden, but I've been wondering for a while. Why do you stick with us if our bad luck is contagious?" "I don't really mind. Same reason I stuck around the vampires…you happen to live near my swamp." "But you could just stay in your swamp. At least you yourself wouldn't have to deal with demons and dragons and assassins and, hell, Oligard." "I do still hold that little agreement we made when we first met. You people protect me and my swamp, and I'll protect you and your castle. Sometimes I feel like I fail at trying to protect you from yourselves, but…well&

Twisting the Knife pt.2

Val put her chin in her hands and her elbows on her knees. "I'm not sure I'm getting through to you at all." Ghostly words once again appeared. They read 'learning to speak 'rock' might help.' Val's brows furrowed. "But I'm not fluent in rock. I can speak with animals and plants, but not rocks." "What?" Dmitri said, looking the picture of puzzlement. "Um…this," Val pulled out her quarterstaff, "It works very well." "What did I miss…I feel like I missed something…" She took her heavy cherry wood quarterstaff, swung, and hit Dmitri squarely in the back of the head. "OUCH! What the HELL was that for?" Val looked

Hello there...

0 min read

Hi everyone! I've been really inattentive on this account. Maybe because with school and all, writing just doesn't come as easily to me as it used to. Regardless, I am still working on some short stories, most of which feature characters in my art account, since I feel like I need to introduce a lot of them more than just a picture. Hopefully I can spurn my laziness enough to do that much! If there are any in particular you're curious about, just tell me. I need to stretch my writing muscles again! If you want to contact me, or look at my pretty arts, go to ~SaintTape (https://www.deviantart.com/sainttape)

Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated...

Hot damn, it's been a while. Lately, I've been working on a lot of character sketches, character updates, and re-hashing stories, so I haven't been a complete lazy bum the whole time I've not updated. I promise I'll have some new stuff up soon. To entertain you in the meantime, I'll do another OC Quiz. It's everyone's favorite fish boy from Halcyon Blue, Uaithn! Rules 1. You must use only ONE of your OCs Do it again if you wanna use another OC. 2. Your OC must answer every question as truthfully as possible. 3. Title the journal as "OCs Quiz (your OCs name)". 4. When you're done, tag as many people as you want. 5. Have fun!!! 1. Hi! W

Mkay, so I managed to survive the school week from hell. I think. Three exams, two papers, and a quiz that might as well have been an exam, and I am very ready for some weekend. Hopefully, I will have my laptop back today...I miss my baby. So, I somehow didn't make it into AV...which given the above was probably a blessing in disguise. I will be sure to use Sarosh in another OCT sometime, since I have to use my sexy angelic pirateship wheel somewhere (and hopefully in the not-too-distant future)!
