《lovely | poetry》sugar plum and purple
Advertisement
when her head is bowed and her lips are red
the roses in her hands bleed through her skin
when the sky fell asleep, it whispered then
"don't you leave, pretty girl, she's right around the bend"
i rush to you instead
she swallowed the stars, and breathed all the petals in
even when her throat was sore, and her tongue was torn
and she couldn't remember her dreams
when the daylight ran a finger down her face
the sunshine called out her name
she rose to greet the clouds
but i grabbed her hands
when her sleeves fall down, i found the shadows buried in her collarbones
warm, and laced with indigo
breathless kisses, breathless sobs
i held her cheeks, and traced her coffee constellations
her caramel skin, her cotton clothes
her sugar laced hair and cream filled lips
she smelled of sugar plum and purple
"darling, you don't have to run, you don't have to be afraid,"
"i'd hold you even if your castle buried us in shattered colors and broken wonders"
if i fell and stained my hands
the color of her tears
if the flavor of marigolds left her torn tongue
and her bitter lungs were full of weeping orchids
and her bruises kept her skin cold
and i could no longer feel her hair, her cheeks, her lips
i would love her, and love her longer
her beauties found in all her dents
i'd hold her, and hold her closer
even if she no longer smelled of sugar plum and purple
for sugar plum and purple
is not the reason i chose to stay

Outer Sect Disciple
Gongsun Xianyuan, eleven years old, was a genius... or he should have been. Unfortunately when the Cultivator of the Wudang sect came to the village he found out that he had a rare condition that prevented him to cultivate in the arts of the sect. He didn't give up right away but in the end he had to resign himself to the truth. At first he despaired but he soon choose to let his dreams go and begin a new life. This is the tale of an untalented cultivator who had given up in his dreams of glory to live a normal life. How will his future unfold? ------------------------- My native language is neither English nor Chinese, I am writing a Xianxia novel because I like the genre. I have tried to maintain the chinese names and the form of address but I used the measurements of the international system(meters, grams, etc..) and the hour time(no incense stick, or others). It may spoil it for some but I think it would be easier both for me and the readers. Before you read keep in mind that this is a novel with a slow progress. I don't want to give any spoiler but at least a few chapters will be dedicated to his life in the village.
8 225The Privateer
The void is a dangerous place. Full of pirates, man-eating aliens, and murderous machines. Yvian knew the risks, but she never imagined she'd have such a run of bad luck. Her ship broke down, pirates attacked, and she ended up chained to a bulkhead without her clothes. Just when she thought things couldn't get worse, he appeared. The monster of legends. The most terrifying being in the galaxy. The worst thing in all of the verse. A human. The void is a dangerous place. But that's where the money is.
8 487MIRACLE CHILD: SLASH THE GODS [DxD UNIVERSE] . (MATURE CONTENT)
A world where all myth clash. Three great factions vying for supremacy. A multitude of power eyeing them from the shadow. In this world, à child was born. One so rare that his kind was basically unseen. Bestowed with a name synonymous with death, known as the uncrowned king of the church, what kind of storm will this child bring? Follow our hero as he visits the world and brings change to the society. Disclaimer: The DxD franchise does not belong to me. I am just a fan trying to bring an alternative story to a novel I like. The cover picture doesn't belong to me either. Note: This story will be mainly in the Slashdog part which is part of the DxD universe but set 4 four years prior to the event of DxD. Also, DxD is a light novel with 25 volumes + side volumes and a sequel with already 3 volumes called Shin Highschool DxD. Only the first ten volumes and some side stories have been adapted in Anime. As such many terms and characters, I use may be unknown. But don't worry I will do my best so that everyone can follow. NOTE 2: I AM currently writing another fanfic called THE TRIALS: PATH TOWARD GODHOOD. Try it. The mc is different in personality but I hope you'll like it nonetheless.

Being a freelance technician had its perks. You could reject any job you felt didn't pay enough or had poor conditions. It was a simple job. "Come in and look at the animatronic. Even if you can't fix him we'll pay you a full nights pay. Just please, take a look." Full night's pay for a few hours of work? Sure! At the time you had no idea it would evolve into a whole murder mystery, you bracing death too many times to count and uncovering the dark history of a regular kids restaurant chain. It all seemed to be linking back to a massive security breach that happened a year prior. Stumble upon the mystery of a missing purple bunny. (ongoing) 1. Set one year after FNAF:SB and in an alternate timeline in which Vanessa adopts Gregory, basically combo of Redemption+Burntrap. She's the closest thing to 'human' family he's got.2. This story was written exclusively using FOSS tools.3. If you aren't a fan of (Y/N) then feel free to refer to the character as Red or Red Guy (cause Read = Red, get it?).
