Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: implied/referenced abusive relationship & self-harm, underage drinking.
Summary: Ollie and Billy have been friends since childhood, and here are snapshots and the story of how they almost lost each other.
Note: I'm not sure if I'm gonna write more about these characters, so this is completely a stand-alone for now. This is quite light considering the story of the Cry Baby album, and what I usually do write

Notes: Sorry, this wound up being 8000 words of worldbuilding, haha. I promise that all of this is going to be actually relevant to the story. Eventually. Let me know if there are any tenses in here that sound wrong, I went back and forth a bit on what tenses some parts of this dialog should be in.

Styles and Supplies: Portrait, Panorama, Life Drawing
Word Count: 5133
Rating: PG
Warnings: Swearing, and one line of trascribed (fantasy) dialect (I had to do it this one time for illustrative purposes, but I promise it won't happen again, everything else in this language variant will be in standard English. It's supposed to be barely intelligible, I guess I'll find out if I achieved that or not.)

In-Universe Date: Year -36 (before the Gift)
Summary: Priestesses from the future arrive with the Grammar of a new language, disrupting Yesora's religious practice and way of life.
Notes: Not the document on Github, this is a side-story about Yesora's Grammar, and the changes it made to religious practice, why the priesthood is all female, and where a number of the conventions that are present in Setsiana's day came from (as well as the origin of the word that's being translated as "priestess"). I wanted to wait to post this until after introducing the Egalitarian heresy, for I hope obvious reasons.

Mods, I need a tag for "Dark Scarlet" (which I suppose means I must also get a Prototype!)

Name: Ashes and Diamonds

(I had several attempts at writing Saturations for the February Challenge that were all too long for me to get done in the time, and this is the one tha came nearest to actually being done. It's just some random looks at Leion Valerno, his family, and the city, featuring lots of side characters.)

zero_pixel_count

Name: "When will the banners and the victory parades celebrate the day a better world was won?"
Story: waking the dawn
Colors: chrome 01
Supplies and Styles: Chiaroscuro, Portrait
Word Count: approx 9k
Rating: 15
Warnings: It's a rescue-and-aftermath story and not particularly graphic - but not entirely euphemistic either, and it's dealing with the aftermath of torture. (Also the aftermath of a pre-industrial-plus-magic battle.) Body horror, mercy-killing, the implication of disordered eating. Delfi worries about how consensual her brother's relationship is, but it's a groundless worry; she doesn't have all the facts.

I love a good fix-it but I'm almost entirely an original writer; this story is an experiment in whether 'an original fix-it' is a workable thing. Specifically, it's a time-travel / time-loop fix-it, this is the fourth time around as far as Hanno's concerned; he started it, or at least started the fixing-part, mostly by yelling at the powers-that-be until any will to stop him they might have had gave out. (It's probable they didn't even want to stop him anyway. He didn't actually stop to check.) Also featuring: absolutely nobody human, a surprising amount of gen-x nuclear-winter-anxiety for a fantasy story, gleefully gutteral consonant mutation. (I think all the words are obvious from context, but speak up if they aren't. Also, please let me know if I've done anything wrong with the labelling/tagging etc, I worry about these things.)

Name: Take to the Streets
Story: Starfall
Colors: Tourmaline #17 (home/far off place)
Supplies and Styles: Stained Glass + Portrait + Panorama
Word Count: 6040
Rating: PG
Warnings: Mentions of mild injury, assassination attempt, mild panic attack.
Notes: 1313 Portcallan; Viyony Eseray, Seahra Jadinor, Leion Valerno, Eollan Barra, Tana Veldiner, Mierly Modelen, Laida Modelen, Nia Delant, Ranir Maraseny, Rodern Ylie, Iyana Valerno. (The start proper of the 24 years early storyline. I wasn’t sure how to do this incident and then thought about making it a Stained Glass. No need to worry about everyone in it; it hopefully works as a taster, plus more of Leion and Viyony’s family and connections, who we’ve met before.)
Summary: It’s the day of the Grand Procession and Opening of the High Chambers in Portcallan. A festival day, but someone’s got very different ideas for this year’s event…

Rating: R
Warnings: Choose not to warn.
Summary: Fowler II is a born and bred proxy of God. This is some of what that means.
Note: I know I’ve been MIA like foreverrrr. XD But that’s partly because I’ve been switched over to “input” mode while I laid down the groundwork for an entirely new ‘verse! It’s still kind of rough and not quite “there” yet, but I think it’s ready to debut, at least. (This also means I will be needing a new story tag, when it’s convenient. :D)
