Find The Words Tag

Character voice tag

Thank you @elizaellwrites for tagging me in this! I have a total of 18 characters who make an appearance in my WIP J&E and I'm going to do something with each of my characters for this tag.

My prompt was: Calling to ride shotgun in a car or vehicle.

Evander: I'm probably gonna regret doing this with my sedan and being a teacher for you Jet, but let's try to make it out in one piece alive, okay?

Jet: You think I can dive? There's a reason I only have a permit and not a driver's license yet. Evander can tell you all about that.

Averi: So you think I'm a disaster of a driver? Hey! I got us there in one piece and only two hours late. That isn't improvement from last time? Then I call shotgun! At least I can still be in the front that way.

Serna: I'm an expert at finding where we need to go as we're out. You want to enjoy the day and do fun things, you want me riding shotgun.

Gunnar: I'm six foot two. The back seat is going to have me compressed. I'm taking the passenger seat since no one is going to be sitting behind me and I can adjust the seat.

Micha: I'm not driving on that crazy road myself so I'm leaving that to you my dear.

Jasper: Why can't I have a little royal treatment and have the passenger side for once and not drive all the time?

Amber: I won the game! Passenger side is mine!

Derryl: I get to ride shotgun home if I win this final game of bowling against you. Is that a deal unless you think you'll lose?

Liber: You? Driving? This ought to be good. Let's see if you can get us there with time to spare. I'm going to be silently judging you along the way, just so you know.

Marla: Honestly, I'd get more enjoyment out of this trip if I didn't have to drive, so I'm not going to. Not doing anything I don't need to on vacation.

Elliot: How else do you expect me to appreciate the scenery during the drive over? You've been there before and I haven't so I get to be in the passenger seat to see the beautiful scenery leading up to our location.

Ainsley: I'm not usually in the passenger side when I go out with all of you, but I actually like it more than driving despite being the best driver out of everyone here.

Samantha: You know where this place is you wanna take me out so show me sweetie. I don't know where it is and you want to treat me, so if you do this I'll pay for the dinner. Deal?

Aria: After all that I am going to sit in the passenger seat. And we're not taking the freeway next time I drive! Too stressful for my blood.

Milliey: *Running out to the car against her friends* I call shotgun! I called it!

Felix: How else would you be able to hear the new rhythm I came up with if I don't call shotgun? Exactly, you want a drummer this is the territory that comes with, now let's go pick up my new kit.

Sasha: You'll get yourself lost if I don't go with you. Remember the last time you refused to look up the address before you left? I'm directing you.

I'm going to tag @foxys-fantasy-tales @fracturedfable @k--havok @athenswrites and leave an open tag for anyone else who would like to do this.

Your prompt is: What are we doing today?

Your WIP in ao3 tags

I was tagged by @sabrina-author to do this tag. Thank you for tagging me in this! I'll tag @k--havok and @elizaellwrites as well as leaving an open tag for anyone else who wants to do this tag.

These are from my current WIP I'm working on Jet and Evander.

OC Kiss Week Day Three

Got this done later than I would like, but this will be the last picture with Jet and Evander as I would like to feature other characters. This has an accompanying excerpt under the cut. Word count: 523.

Unlocking the door, they had red sunflowers with a small pouch with it. They didn’t know what their partner was doing but could smell what he made. Setting the sunflowers down on the table next to the couch, they saw him cleaning the counter.

“You made all this?” They asked gently, looking at what he made.

"I wanted to surprise you with a lovely meal tonight." His smile was accompanied by their soft expression as he sat down. "Despite my efforts, I was unable to finish and clean up before you got back."

“Oh, Jet. This is a wonderful surprise. Thank you so much for doing all this.”

They went over and crouched next to him, placing a hand on his shoulder as they gave him a gentle kiss while he cupped the side of their face. After parting from the kiss, they took the towel from his hand and cleaned off the sauce from his cheek. He smiled and kissed them again that made both of them lose their balance, making both of them laugh together as they laid like that for a moment before he sat up off them.

“I love you, Evander.”

“Ich liebe dich auch, Jet.”

“I’m glad you like the surprise. But I’m guessing that means you love me too?”

“It does. Though you should check out the table next to the couch because I think you'll like it.”

He stood up and went over to the table to see the red sunflowers with the small pouch. He held the sunflowers and hugged them with the sunflowers around their neck. Smiling, they asked if he liked his gift.

He said red sunflowers were his favorite and why his laptop background was a field of red sunflowers. The beautiful red color was something he loved about this variety of sunflowers. Red sunflowers weren’t very common and made their beautiful color all the more special.

After he let them out of the hug, he saw the small pouch and opened it. Inside was a pick case with the logo of his favorite band on the flap. As he held it he loved how it looked as it was beautiful.

He asked them to wait where they were for a moment before quickly going to get something. They tilted their head for a moment until they saw him come back with a huge box of sweets they liked and handed it to them, knowing how big of a sweet tooth they had.

“Jet, I know I’ve got a massive sweet tooth but this is nearly half my height if I turn it on its side.” They smiled with a kind laugh lining their voice, holding the box.

“I know that box is scared of you, knowing its quick fate. Maybe five days at most?” He joked, smiling happily.

“You might be correct. But, not in five days. Perhaps eleven, maybe twelve, but definitely not five.”

“Okay, eight days.”

“Oh my god, Jet. You are so crazy!”

“I guess I am, Evander.”

“Hey, how about we have some of the delicious smelling dinner you so sweetly made tonight before it cools off?”

Tagging @foxys-fantasy-tales.

OC Kiss Week Day Two

This is the background on Evander's (they/them) phone and they're being kissed on their cheek by their partner Jet (he/him). It's also their favorite picture of them together and loves it so much that they wanted it to be their phone's background.

This is a scene planned for a chapter later on in my WIP J&E.

OC Kiss Week Day Four

This is Felix and his older sister, Rachel, who he lives with. He's trans and asexual.

Last line tag

Thank you for tagging me in this @foxys-fantasy-tales! I haven’t wrote much on my WIP (Jet and Evander) as I’ve been working on some ideas I have planned for the rest of the book and other life events. However, I have worked a little bit on the next chapter.

I will tag @k--havok and leave an open tag.

When he was done looking up everything and just looking at something on his phone, they caught his attention so they could tell him something. Setting his phone down they complemented him again on his playing and his confidence on stage.

He said, “That’s how I usually am when I play, not like when you first heard me.” remembering how he felt when they first heard him play. 

“Well, I’m impressed either way with your skill.” They replied.

“I guess that’s thanks to all the time I spent alone with my old bass since I was alone most of the time.”

“What about that friend of yours?”

“Moved. I was alone after that with no one but my bass. Gives a sense of peace when I play. Plus the alone time helped refine my skills and knowledge of music.”

His demeanor didn’t change as he revealed this fact about his life and not having anyone, almost seeming like this was supposed to be the norm for everyone despite it not being true. Hearing this made them feel sympathetic for him.

They asked if he realized that shouldn’t be something to be normalized for someone. He shook his head, dismissing it and still thinking it was normal. After being dismissed, they dropped their attempt in letting him know that being alone like that wasn’t something people typically go though. Now wouldn’t be the time to talk about that anyway as it wouldn’t be very productive and he was still adjusting to his situation.

Heads Up, Seven Up Tag

I was tagged by @elizaellwrites to do this tag. Thank you for tagging me in this! I will tag @faeveries @k--havok @sabrina-author and @dragonedged-if with this tag.

These are the seven paragraphs from my WIP I'm working on. It happens after Our first meeting where Evander is about to go to work.

“Forget about that; you're not going to be a burden to me. I wanted to help and that's exactly what I'm going to do, no matter what's needed.”

“Thank you for that, Evander. You don't have to do any of this for me.”

“I'm going to anyway. This apartment is going to be a safe place for you and a place that you can feel comfortable living in.” They said, wanting him to know that he has a safe place in the apartment, always. “It's just as much your place to live as it is mine and I want to know that and tell me what you need.”

“Really?” He sounded surprised by that and was trying to hide it in his voice, looking at them.

“Definitely, this is a safe place and you don't need to worry about anything like that.”

He looked down, almost like he was saddened by their reassurance that he was safe and didn't have anything to worry about. It was something that should've made him feel better but it didn't look like it had that effect. They asked if he was alright from his reaction.

Nodding slightly, he thanked them for being so kind and willing to help him out when he was nothing more than a stranger to them. They had no obligation to do anything they've already done for him. Still, he was grateful for it.

Romantic snippets

I was tagged by @k--havok to do this tag. I'm going to use the dialogue from An answer since Jet and Evander have been together for a bit over a year at that point.

I'm tagging @faeveries and @elizaellwrites for this tag.

“Jet, come on, grab your bass so you can show your confusing partner what you’ve figured out so far.” Evander laughed softly as they turned off the sedan.

“If you say so confusing E.” Jet teased them a bit more, quickly hopping out of the passenger seat and laughing to grab his bass as they put their forehead in their hand with soft laughs coming from them.

A ten, but... Tag

Thank you @sabrina-author for tagging me in this! I will use my characters who have appeared more than once in my WIP for this.

I'll be tagging @k--havok and @elizaellwrites

Jet- He's a 10, but doesn't give himself credit for what he does quite often.

Evander- They're a 10, but they are the CEO of being stubborn and about the strangest things at times.

Serna- She's a 10, but appears as if she has a full pot of coffee in the morning with her boundless energy.

Marla- She's a 10, but it's never for the right reasons.
