The Criminal
Doodle of an orange cat with a piece of crumpled plastic in his mouth. He is running away quickly, wide-eyed. There is text from someone shouting "WHO IS EATING PLASTIC!!!"

We got a box of fancy choux off Too Good To Go! It was a lovely way to cap off my first day of teaching for the semester :)

OMELASxJASMINE THRONE

👑 A dispossessed prince
🗡️ The vengeful saint still bound to him
⛓️ A conspiracy to turn desperate people into mindless conduits for magic
The only way to stop it is to set aside their enmity, but trust doesn't come easy—and it may destroy them both.

BONE SHARD DAUGHTERxUNBROKEN

As a kid, Prince Marin unwittingly aided his parents' murder; now, he wants to avenge them. However, his old home rests on injustice, and he must decide: claim his birthright or do what's right—even if that means allying with the man who took it away. #DVpit #A #F #LGBT

This sounds SO fun! Love the frankly troubling levels of ambition I’m sensing here

OMELASxJASMINE THRONE

20 years ago, a saint—an unwilling vessel for magic—usurped the throne he was bound to. Now, the rightful heir wants vengeance—and has to face the rot at the core of their power. To fix it, they must join forces with the man who murdered their family.

#DVparty day 3! Here are the opening lines of my dark fantasy about revenge, sentient magic, and the realisation that the world you idealised is founded on injustice (and also, messy gays falling in love). #A #F #DF #LGBT
Excerpt from the beginning of a prologue: The door to Caelius’ prison inched open. Fresh air he couldn’t taste gusted through, sweeping the flames of the candles lining the room into a frenzied dance. None of them went out, as none of them could—they were the constant watchers over the dusk of his confinement, kept alight by the same power that trapped him. His power.
