After the cut is a recent excerpt from Colorblock Interlude!

In each nanoscopic slip of time, he transverses the bare limits of their outcomes. One glance at his star-splattered blue eyes and we'd aim to recover what’s lost from others; even if that meant losing ourselves along the line. Yet, that was the mere start—the mere start of how he roped me into another one of his schemes.

Afternoon sun slits through the window blinds into our apartment, an iridescent glow painting across the living room. Half-eaten plates of yakitori rest on the tabletop–a cold reminder that it has been nearly three days since we were absent from the present.

"Ready to take a risk, Astin?" Harper asks, a smirk playing at the cusp of his lips while his hand extends in my direction. I look up hesitantly, avoiding eye contact as much as possible or we'd fall back into a loop of the past.

hiyaa

🎃trick or treat!🍬

Heyo! Thank you for the ask, @enne-uni!

Have a treat! 🍬 Since spooky day is upon us, why not have a couple? Here's the moodboard and a quote from Colorblock Interlude! ⏳️

Storyteller Saturday/Sunday: Would you rather be the villain or the hero in your current writing project?

Definitely the hero(es) for Exiled Sanctum! They're quick-witted and know their way around the underbelly of the conflict, to a degree anyway until a sudden curve is thrown their way 😅. Even if their kind of advocating towards a government reform is a bit skeptical in some instances, it overall betters the vast majority of Qredo's civilians for the long run.

That's probably the most I can say (for now) without spoiling any major peices of information as to why I choose to be the hero 🌸
