Happy Late STS!

Happy Late STS!

Sorry for the late ask, things have been chaotic for me these past few days, lol. Here we go!

What is your all-time favorite moment/scene you've ever written?

What is the most meaningful relationship (without too many spoilers) between the characters in your WIP?

Happy STS! Thanks for the ask!

My all-time favorite moment hasn’t happened yet, but I will be writing it soon for Ch. 14! It will be Hettie’s last chapter in ToL that sets up her arc for Book Two, and there’s a really tragic and powerful moment that will be very influential to her story.

I think the most meaningful relationship is the one that took me completely by surprise: Mara and Adrin. I hadn’t intended for them to become so close but they had this weird chemistry that I just ran with. Book Two will explore their friendship a lot as they recognize similar qualities in one another that are damaging to those around them. They’ll have to teach each other how to overcome their trauma, and there are some really beautiful moments I have planned for them.

For Xarian:

face: Describe your OC's face. What's their smile like? Are their orbs cerulean? What would someone notice first when looking at them?

stature: What's your OC's body type? How tall are they? Do they wear clothing to accentuate their look or do they try to mask it?

motion: How does your OC move? How does their clothing help or hinder their range of motion? Are they flexible, coordinated, clumsy?

Thank you so much for the Ask, @clairelsonao3!

(From the OC Character Design Ask Game)

face: Describe your OC's face. What's their smile like? Are their orbs cerulean? What would someone notice first when looking at them?

Xarian has a thin and angular face, pale but tanned, slightly sharp, though there are dark circles under his eyes. His bright hazel eyes are mysterious, the tell-tale sign of someone trying not to give away anything about himself, except when he is looking at Lorelai, the love of his life - then his cold eyes turn warm, filled with endless devotion.

He is rather handsome, and he knows it. Xarian has different smiles, for different situations, usually a sly smirk or a quick taken-aback chuckle, but his genuine smile is unique - soft and radiant, truly joyful, a rare glimpse of the person he used to be, once.

The first thing someone would notice about Xarian, especially if under the right lighting, is that his hair has a slight metallic glint to it, making the curls atop of his head genuinely look like an actual mix of real silver and copper. This is due to the kind of faery he is, and his changeling nature.

stature: What's your OC's body type? How tall are they? Do they wear clothing to accentuate their look or do they try to mask it?

Xarian is thin and lanky, though muscular, and is a rather tall person. His clothing is usually meant for practicality, as Xarian doesn't really care about how he looks as long as he is moderately put together, though his leather boots make him look slightly taller than he already is.

motion: How does your OC move? How does their clothing help or hinder their range of motion? Are they flexible, coordinated, or clumsy?

Xarian moves stealthily, extremely coordinated. He is the kind of person that no one notices when he enters the room due to how quiet he is unless he wants to be noticed, and he is also very flexible and fast when he needs to be. As mentioned before, his clothes are meant to be practical, which includes allowing him a free range of motion and freedom, he dislikes clothes that make him feel trapped or uncomfortable.

make 'em swoon

eyes meeting from across the room

reaching out, grabbing their hand

a subtle wink

licking their lips

a hug that gets deeper

"hi" *raspy voice*

falling asleep on each other

coming back for another kiss

pressing their foreheads together

smile that makes their eyes soften

brushing away their hair

putting their hand on the other's neck

holding them close by their hips

pulling them on their lap

smirking in a way that suggests more

drawing with their fingertips on their skin

hugging them from behind

a kiss pressed to the neck

lips brushing against their ear

whispering to them like they're alone in the world
