THE CITY WE BECAME x MADOKA MAGICA

A vengeful hunter becomes the hunted when he fuses w/ one of the psychic monsters plaguing his city—and the beast has a death wish. If he can't expel it before its urges overpower him, his brother will lose the only family he's got.

Kira and Xavier have two things in common: neither is in a place to start a relationship and they're extremely attracted to each other.

It's only natural that they become friends with benefits.

But all too soon, they're torn between following their hearts, or risking everything.

Title: Pitch
Text:  For Niozene, eldest daughter and crown heir to the Mother, the living goddess that rules her country, perfection is not a goal to strive toward; it is the base expectation. And despite her every effort to the contrary, Niozene is not perfect. Her flawless scholar’s education and polished career as a ranger have failed to convince the Mother to look past her greatest mistake: she was born without the holy power that marks her family as divinity and grants them their divine right to rule. 
 
When a shape-changing assassin nearly kills the Mother on Niozene’s watch, she officially runs out of time to impress. She is stripped of her titles and given a choice: return with the assassin’s head, or face excommunication—banishment from both her homeland and the afterlife. Desperate, she accepts the task as her last chance to show the Mother she deserves a place as her daughter. 
 
Allowed only the help of another excommunicated criminal, a surly, aged tracker named Sonsan, and facing an assassin who could be anyone, she dreads her chance is over before it starts. But when Sonsan reveals the same shape-changing power as the assassin, she realizes there is more to her quest than she has been told. As they chase the assassin deep into a forbidden land, they must confront the buried history they discover they share, as well as the ghosts that haunt their dreams and blood, if they are to return alive.

The house is still empty. I can’t decide if that’s better or worse. There’s a strange comfort in the not-knowing, like a pause before something inevitable.

 a background image of frost and ice. The pitch for Be Gay Do Crimes WIP: To keep her queer crew from being kicked out of their gang, 24 year-old thief Ness must steal a prince, get him to his rich aunt, and keep her pretty nemesis from interfering. Falling for both of them wasn’t in the plan. A collage of memes for Be Gay Do Crimes WIP:
 -steal everything your gay little hands can carry
 -middle spoon 
-the nonsense has escalated
 -* instant regret * 
-the sexual tension when someone says "make me"
 -Be Gay do Crimes 
-A knife? Are you flirting with me? 
-A cat walking on two legs carrying an umbrella and carpet bag. Sheet music with the caption I don't know where I'm going but I'm gay 
-A tweet from @ MaineMillennial: the goal of polyamory is to acquire enough partners to pull off a successful heist.

“Stop, thief.” 
Ness stills. She knows that voice. 
Smooth blades of midnight wrapped in silk. 
A frisson of excitement shoots down Ness’ spine, and she has to force herself to turn slowly. It’s bad form for a mouse to appear too eager to entice the cat into a heart-pounding chase. Though she’s shrouded in shadow, she meets Melirin’s flinty gaze unerringly. Her obsidian eyes glint with a spark of challenge.

Picking locks is a bit like discovering what makes a lover come undone; it requires patience, focus, and a dash of magic. Luckily for Ness, she happens to have all three.

"Fuck me, Troy."
“That’s a bit inappropriate, Dave, considering the situation.”
Dave averted his gaze from the bloodied corpse of their friend to face him.
“Really, Troy? Now?”
Troy shrugged. “Marv would’ve laughed.” The grin on his face faltered. Marv was lying in a pool of his own blood. The cause of death was clear, the hilt of the murder weapon protruding from his back. Since Marv was stiff as a board—not much different from his current state—they could rule out suicide. Marv was also more inclined to stab others in the back instead of himself.
