update 91.

december 4th-10th.

i genuinely thought i wrote no more than 100 words so it's a pleasant surprise to see i nearly crossed 1000 this week. i'll spare you the whole 'i have exams coming up and i have no time to write' spiel because i've done that for the past two weeks now and, well, i'm sure you got the idea. but this semester ends on the 19th for me so i'll (hopefully) ge...

tropes. [k de vries]

trope: a character realizes how much they care for someone after a near-death experience.

There's a panicked look in K's eyes when you emerge from the dust. You're covered in soot, face smeared with black substance and your clothes tattered. Your jacket is hanging on by a thread, your shirt managing to cover the necessities despite the three giant holes ...

update 90.

november 27th-december 3rd.

slightly longer update this week because i actually have things to say this time haha. assignments and exams are still kicking my ass but i'm slowly working through them, so i've found some time to work on when twilight strikes. it's still not as much as i do usually, but i'm still happy i even got some words down. a win is a win.

*not* a booty call.

update 89.

not really an update but i wanted to pop by and let you all know what's going on. i'm currently piled with assignments and with exams coming up, i've been taking a step back from when twilight strikes to focus on school. that being said, i opened the document once this entire week so there's not much to update on. i expect this to be the same for next week, but if anything changes, i'l...

tropes. [blane rekner]

trope: character a pins character b against the floor or wall.

note: i totally forgot to put a poll up for the next series of drabbles so i hope this is okay! it's going to explore a bunch of cliches and tropes that i think will be fun to explore <3

Blane needs to let off some steam...

update 88.

november 13th-19th.

happy monday (or tuesday most likely, depending on your timezone) everyone !! i'm still very much swamped with assignments right now so my motivation to write is pretty low (by the time i get around to it, all i want to do is rot in bed) but i'm really happy with how things are turning out already.

i feel like i'm always saying 'this chapter is s...

late night calls? wait-

update 87.

november 6th-12th.

apologies for the late update, again. seasonal depression is hitting hard and daylight savings only screwed me up. i've also been hammered with homework lately and, ugh. the life of a university student. i can't wait until i graduate this year. with everything happening in my life i haven't found time to write. i think i wrote the entirety of this week'...

smitten. [a devereux]

synopsis: everyone says [A] is smitten.

[A] is smitten and everyone knows it.

[A] is smitten in the sense that they're often compared to a lost puppy, trailing you around with a bounce in their step and smile so wide their dimples show. Smitten in that they'd fall over their feet trying to get the door for you. Smitten in that you're the only one w...

update 86.

october 30th-november 5th.

apologies for the bit of radio silence on my end. i really haven't been working much on when twilight strikes—school has been kicking my ass a bit and i'm still really drained from the release of chapter ten. that's entirely my fault. i gave myself a week to edit and code, when usually that'd take me two weeks. i really just wanted to...

chapter eleven titles.

haven't yet decided on one but hopefully this gives you a hint as to what's to come :)

update 85.

october 23rd-29th.

sorry for the late update :/ i caught another cold so i’ve been sleeping all day (just my luck). but i hope everyone is doing well otherwise !

i honestly don’t have much to say because i haven’t started writing chapter eleven yet. i thought i might give myself a bit of a break before starting up again—i’ve also been using this time to wo...

deleted scene (chapter seven).

an alternative scene in chapter seven. this one gives less of a choice and forces you more on the path of staying in the vip room than checking out the commotion, which is why i scrapped it and wrote the current version. this is only Rylan's variant, but as you can tell, it sees the hunter going out to meet the ro/chosen partner rather than the other way around. the hunter is also the one who t...

like this. [n alves]

synopsis: what being in love is like for N.

note: i used second person pov to describe N in some bits so it might get a little confusing differentiating when i'm talking about you (N) and you (hunter). for that reason, any second pov pronouns in [square brackets] are referring to teh hunter.

Being in love goes a l...

chapter ten release!

it's your time to shine. play chapter ten now with the password "alexaplaydaddyissues" (all lowercase, no spaces) and revisit the world of the midnight hours. oh, and try not to lose your mind too much, yeah?

in this chapter.

• learn a little more ab...

monday.

it's official.

chapter ten will be dropping on monday, october 23rd for the midnight tier and on wednesday, october 25th for the twilight tier, both at 10am EST. public release will be the 28th.

enjoy the first place while you wait :))

update 84.

october 9th-15th.

chapter ten. oh, chapter ten, what can say i about it at this point? it's been a headache, a real pain in my ass at points (when is a chapter not a pain in my ass, is the real question) but as always, so fun to write. this is usually the point where i start complaining about editing but for once, i don't have much to complain about. surprising considerin...

update 83.5.

writing is done. now time to edit :))

on eggshells. [k de vries]

synopsis: who knew that baking could be so domestic?

"Did you preheat the oven?" K calls.

"Hmm?" you poke your head out from where you were rummaging in K's cabinet. Why you can't find the extra baking powder is a wonder to them. Their cupboard isn't that deep and they're a fairly organized person. Unless Rylan got in there recently, it should be e...

update 83.

october 2nd-8th.

catching a cold is so humbling. it's all fun and games until you start sniffling and feeling like the only thing you can do is rot in bed all day. i'm bitter about it, truly, but there's no point in dwelling on that when i got shit to talk about.

so. progress. light at the end of the tunnel and all that. i don't want to jinx it, but i think i can fi...

warlock double-team.

update 82.

september 25th-october 1st.

home stretchhhh babyyyyyyy. i know i said this last time but as i was writing this week, i really started to see the end of this chapter and jadjfsfskks. it's so exciting. of course, i have to preface this by saying that seeing the end doesn't mean i'm at the end, but the fact that i even can say this is such an accomplishment.

c...

power high.

getting into really spoiler territory now so i can't show much but :))) it's also starting to get very fun

fool's luck. [rylan villanueva]

synopsis: Rylan thinks about how lucky they are.

note: rated M for uh, reasons.

Rylan Villanueva is quite aware of their luck. Perhaps this is what the universe has been saving up to—every misfortune they've endured and stumbled upon in their youth has led up to this: a peaceful life...

update 81.

september 18th-24th.

this is going to be a short update because apparently my nerves have decided to??? i don't even know. my hands won't stop shaking lol and i can't really type right now but that's beside the point! the point here is: we're at the home stretch. granted, it's a very long home stretch that will make things feel like we aren't at the end, but we are. i pro...

the infirmary. again.

update 80.

september 11th-17th.

another week, another update and another time where i have to figure out how the hell to put what i did into words. for a writer, i'm not very good at explaining myself. the fact that i'm able to produce anything coherent in these updates is a miracle in itself. as it is, i've spent ten minutes trying to write my next bit so if it makes no sense, just...

the start of something new. [blane rekner]

synopsis: Blane and the hunter navigate a new relationship.

note: fnhsjkfksjf

Blane isn't quite sure how they got where they are. A bed that isn't theirs, an apartment that isn't under their name. Under covers that they didn't buy, listening to the soft breathing coming from a mouth th...

deleted scene (chapter 10).

this is kind of like a sneak peek and deleted scene in one since this is from chapter ten, but it doesn't spoil much since i've changed the entire thing. i ranted about this in a recent update, but Rylan's character was really messing with me for a bit. the first draft of this scene was extremely somber and included Rylan reassuring the hunter that they're the best in the city, which felt odd c...
