Burning In These Sands Of Mine

Burning in These Sands of Mine

. You

Body burning

a dance that feels like home

Skin burning

a warmth I'll never hold

Eyes burning

tears that never dry

Soul burning

with life that isn't mine

Heart burning

and slowly churning

burning burning

. I

I'M BIG KISS TO YOU MIST!!!!! ❤💛💚💙💜

Heres @kellenmyrickvalentino ‘s commission! This is Sheik from his fic Lost in Silence  GO CHECK IT OUT!!!

I just binged the entirety of this fic in two days and holy shit, it's SO good.

There's no romance, purely whump (A term I'd never heard of before this fic) and fluff and comfort, and all our favorite characters are just. They're done so beautifully and this fic is so inspiring and the author really did them justice. I don't think a single thing was left untouched and everything has a purpose. I, as an author myself, am extremely impressed by the author's ability to not only remember but connect everything, as much as they had. Lots of love and respect <3

That said, as much as I love this fic, it's very intense. It's probably the most violent thing I've ever read, fanfiction or not, and I would not recommend it for those who don't like to read VERY in-depth graphic depictions of violence. And they are extremely graphic, mentally, emotionally, and physically. It's worth a thousand reads, and has a wonderful ending, but do be careful, especially if you have (mostly self-harmful, abusive-memory based, and some sensory triggers). The vast majority of the book is violent (I don't remember exactly which chapters, but the most intense parts are chapters 1-20 and then 60-80, with some speckled between) in one way or another, especially with the amazing, masterful writing. Not much is left to imagination; it is all very vivid.

Please give this fic a read and leave kudos and comments!!! I personally loved it a lot. It's a long read (80 chapters and almost 450,000 words), but it's worth every letter.

“Colors were dancing in his vision despite his eyes being tightly closed, and with each burst he felt a presence that was so much bigger than himself.”

As Color Fades Away - @icypantherwrites

Adding an entire chapter for a scene you thought would be nice but it a) violently derails the story from where it was supposed to go so you have to add ANOTHER chapter to get back on track, b) makes plot holes that you don't realize are there until you've expanded on that scene and it's too late, and c) wipes out your creativity for the day/week/month/year and you go into writer burnout for what feels like eternity.

the life of a writer

forgets how characters are postioned

forgets what objects the character is holding

forgets what the character is wearing

not writing for so long that you have to re-read your work to see how the characters act

having an idea, runing with it for an hour, then leaving it to sit for weeks

remembering oddly specific things about the character (i.e. what they do when faced with a cat) but forgetting how they feel currently about their co-main-character

doing a ton of weird things to see how it would work in the story 

similarly, doing very, very unhealthy things to see firsthand how it effects the body and mind

and a whole lot more. feel free to add
