Black Friday deals when I was a kid involved standing in line outside the record store and buying an armload of albums for ten dollars.

Now, you get a free sticker with your $40 coffee mug.

“Do you… not like it?” she asked when the silence stretched on. “I do. I just never…” Xiuying sighed. Shook her head. “Do you… want to talk about it?” She stood. Walked to the curtained window. “I’m tired.” “Right.” Getting the message, Askaly absorbed the blood back into her veins, put on her gloves, and slipped her feet into her sandals without bothering to lace them. “Askaly?” Already outside the door, she looked back. Xiuying still had her back to her and her arms crossed, but she half-turned her head to the door. “Thank you. For the tattoo.” Askaly couldn’t avoid a smile, no matter how inappropriate it felt. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Excerpt from #AThousandReasons (releasing soon!!)

#RowanAndViv
Viv dropped her gaze to her wineglass, considering. Part of her burned to discuss it – and even more ill-advisedly, to repeat it – and Rowan being so gentle and thoughtful about it all wasn’t helping in the slightest. At last, she looked up and said carefully, “I… don’t want to pretend it didn’t happen.” Rowan released an explosive breath, and her lips curved so brightly it made Viv’s chest contract. “Thank God – because I’m quite sure I’ll be thinking about the way you kissed me every day for the rest of my life.” Viv smiled despite herself. “It wasn’t that spectacular.” Rowan raised both eyebrows. As high as they could go. “Fine,” Viv conceded after a beat. “Kissing you was… mind-blowing.” “I still can’t quite believe you did,” Rowan said with a slow shake of her head. “Stupidest thing I’ve ever done,” Viv sighed. “Was it?” Viv caught the falter in Rowan’s voice and replied softly, “Not because I regret it. Only because it could have disastrous consequences. You don’t need a tangle with Vivienne Vale on your CV, Rowan.”

Miz'ri blackmailed Talisa, threatening to expose her necromantic secret, to escape the sun in the ample girl's shadow, violating her personal space at every opportunity. The human is sweet and thankful it's over - the dark elf thinks this is just beginning.

A good time was had by all, but it's time to move on to the next adventure.

Just... I hope you learned lessons the first time around.

Oh, you weren't taking notes? Didn't think this was going to be on the test?

In which Pat realises she's been a stubborn ass sabotaging her own happiness the whole time.
#lesfic #sapphic
“I know I’m not what you want.” She swallowed and glanced away before locking eyes again. “But thank you anyway.” Pat scrunched her eyebrows together. “What are you talking about?” “I know I’m a lot.” “No, you’re not.” “And sorry for kissing you.” Pat looked stunned. “Why?” Her voice rose at the end. “Because I’m not your type.” “Type?” “Yeah. The type of girls you normally go for.” “Okay, so one, I don’t have a type and two, why would you care about who I go for?” Pat wriggled her arm free of the blanket. “Have I ever brought anyone around? How would you even know what my type was if I had one?” Lisa tucked her head back down into her chest. “Because you don’t go for me.”

A propos of nothing, I'm just going to brag that my wife shaves her legs with a brush and a straight razor, which is probably gayer than not shaving your legs at all.

It's okay. You're allowed to be a mess. Shit's still getting done. You're solving the problems and people are getting together. You're part of the group, not the one on whom it all rests, even if it feels like it.

Going with *mess*
Pinga is not for everyone.
#lesfic #sapphic
“You’ve uh…” Chalice pointed to Pinga’s metal arm. She examined her fingers. Entrails hung like noodles from her knuckle joints. She picked them out casually. “Thanks. I’ll have to clean these when I get more light. Otherwise,” she shrugged. “They get stiff, you know?” Chalice felt her heart flutter at how nonplussed Pinga seemed. Then she blanched at the implication. “Ah, shit, are you vegetarian? I’m sorry.” Pinga tucked her hand behind her back in an effort to hide the gore. She ignored the mess on her shirt.

Lusa's been suppressing a dark streak for years after being caught threatening to cut out an ex's tongue and all she learned from Talia was how to wall off her heart and hit things.

Going with the much more pedestrian "stop"
“Quit moving or this isn’t going to work.” “That’s the point, you goblin. Stop it!” Cass drew a bright yellow star on Phaedra’s cheek and let her go, satisfied with her work. “What did you do?” Phaedra wiped at her face. “You’re a gold star!”

The short version of this is: your problems are self-inflicted. Your solutions are also self-inflicted and are what's causing your problems. You're in a cycle and you need therapy, or at least, listen to a good friend and actually do what they say.

All three of them huddled on an ivory leather bench seat in Pat’s 1977 Ford Bronco. The amber dashboard lights illuminated their smiles as they sang along to a John Denver 8-track. Willow couldn’t ever remember having this much fun. She hadn’t ever felt this carefree. “How does your truck still look this new?” Willow yelled over the quadriphonic sound system. Pat turned the 8-track off. “I don’t give a shit about hockey boys, so I spend most of my time in the garage.”

I do actually mine conversations and do a lot of people watching, which is probably what sparked this quote from an ARC review. The characters may be paranormal, but the romance, the tension and everything else feels real.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is an author who knows how to make a character who sounds like someone you've met but probably never could have figured out how to capture in writing.

That plan to be a tradwife isn't going to work out the way you think it will.

That shit you see online is funded propaganda. Talk to your grandmothers. They'll tell you what's what.

Phaedra handed the beaming blonde teenager a hand mirror “pretty sick for your piercing debut.” The girl smiled wider. Phaedra went over aftercare instructions with her dad and then added, “say hi to Tara for me.” “You know my wife?” The man looked confused. “Back in college,” Phaedra lied. If this man didn't know, she wasn't going to be the one to break the news about his wife's unparalleled lingual endurance. Especially not in front of their kid.
