The Cost Of Vices
Lesfic Friday
Laugh
Bellamy pushed herself up on her elbows and looked at Vesper with that fucking smirk still firmly in place. β€œAre you mad that you can hate me this much and still can’t bring yourself to let me die? Or are you mad that this is turning you on?” Vesper sucked her teeth, trying to ignore Bellamy’s taunting tone. 
	β€œGet. Out.” She growled, again.
	Bellamy laughed, a light, smug noise. β€œYou could close that door, have your way with me, take out all that anger you’re holding in. Punish me for ruining your day. You know you want to, I’m helpless to stop you.”

Wars In Wonderland quote:
She was relieved to find a real proper meal in front of her. Despite seeing the cooking happen, there was some part of her that wondered if she would have to subsist on bread and fruit while she was stuck in this world.Β 
	β€œThank you. This looks amazing.” Alice praised, happily diving into her first bite of some type of fish on a bed of cooked vegetables with bread and jam on the side, and it was delicious.Β 
	β€œCooking is my favorite human thing. It was one of the first things I really liked about them so I learned how to do it.”

It’s getting bad fast in the US. I’m relatively safe, so I’m donating 100% of the proceeds of my lesbian bundle directly to trans people trying to GTFO of the fascist US.

Because of all the boycotts against Amazon and Amazon rolling back their DEI policies. I’m worried a sapphic fantasy will get pushed to the bottom of searches and won’t get any reach. And most likely the folks boycotting are the ones that would read it.

To the authors / artists / game devs / fiber artists / musicians out there thinking "how can I possibly promote my works NOW? is it even ethical to ask people to spend their limited money on my creative works?"

Art is necessary. Expression is necessary. It's basic survival for the soul/spirit/mind.
