Challenge Accepted
 

Doing a holiday contest may have been a joke, but I full call a CHALLENGE. Okay, I will cheat with this one but SHV I challenge you to a Holiday Short Fic contest. I will admit I have a Post-JNRR Christmas vault item I wrote last year. It was the first thing I worked on during LiLe 2.0. It has a song an everything. . . except like an ending or like a direction
Let's do it !

Warning : I WANT ZERO COMMENT ABOUT A SEQUEL TO JNRR. Thinking about it makes my soul and head hurt.


Chapter 5
So I just had a lot of fun with the music here. It was like hype music for me. Points if you can guess the  Sundays reference.
Playlist
Chapter 5

+1+ Work Bitch - Britney Spears
+2+ - Howling For You - Black Keys
+3+ - Birthday Cake Rhianna & S & M  - Rhianna (two songs)
+4+ - You Should Know Where I'm Coming From (I know not where this song came from but it is PERFECT Thank you spotify radio gods !)

P.S I'm joking you can ask about JNRR and/or SA sequels but the answer will always be that I could do no justice.

Chapter 4 : Dramtic Ironry

This is the SGI logo, it comes up in this chapter

Chapter 3
 
I've been holding on to this chapter for so long. When Zendaya's Replay was on the top 40 I heard it and was like this is perfect. The last part of this chapter with Sera and Paris was written early on, because I needed to practice writing scenes with them alone together. Also Sera's outfit is based on something Miranda Kerr wore on Spanish Elle

Transfer

So I've been transferring all of my drafts back to a word based program. I'd been experimented on different platforms and now I'm back to Word. It's going to be strange because I do a lot of fragment writing and I'll change contexts or add in different plot points on a whim and not have to hit that official almighty "Save" button. I just hope I keep organized..

I've Got The Music In Me

I'm proud of myself because I'm starting to organize my music and taking notes of what songs will go with what portions. This is something I haven't done since LL. I'm a little scared of what little outlining I've done.  Anywho, The music gods have answered my called  I'm excited for future chapters.

Chapter 4
Sera is out to prove her loyalty to the Brotherhood, meanwhile Ariel is trying to hold it together after causing the death of Hippolyta and losing Sera as a friend.

I think I may have picked up some Sunday-spiration in this chapter. Just a little.


Playlist
Chapter 4

+1+ If I Had  A Boat - James Vincemt Marrow (Was this in Vice or do all JVM songs sound the same ?).
+2+ The Diary Of  Jane  - Breaking Benjamin

Self-preservation is funny like that.

The Return
This chapter marks the return of The Angel & Demon storyline. The two titular characters  meet while the etheral Angel is on the run from a terrifying creature. She finds herself in the company of a Demon (who is royalty) who agrees to help her kill the creature before it can attack his people in his Citadel.

During their journey they stumble across an Angel Village and see the creature has eaten everything in sight. And when they finally glimpse the beast, it's not what they expected.

You can find their full story here.


From the other side of town a spherical cloud of smoke and clouds barrels towards us. It was a swift gray  cloud with sparks of thunder and electricity sparking inside it. It made a horrible gargling noise, like the screams of an entire village. The Angel opened her mouth and pulled the arrow back, her hands shook.

The arrow sailed right into the creature, but did not make its way out.

We had found the thing we were looking for.

It was still here

And it was still hungry.

A Little Setting Up

Bellum Chapter

 I've already said a lot about that section, things are interesting between Sera and Paris, not just on a physical level. Sera was always supposed to be a main character but I was trying to hide that in Lux. Speaking of it's funny to have two main characters whose names don't get caught in spell check when I invert letters to Sear and Pairs.

 I'm once again at the point where I have very little to blog about. So. .

Chapter 2

This chapter never had any music associated with it and I probably should have posted this with Chapter 1, but I wanted it to stand on it's own. For some reason the music-spiration hasn't been with me but I'm searching . . .

Playlist
The Violet Hour - The Civil Wars (This song inspired me to start Lux. It set the tone I wanted)
Chapter 2

It's Here . . . Bellum, Part 2 aka Cookies and Wine

Bellum II

I call this part of  Bellum, Bellum II. It seem like it's more than one story, when in fact it's just the second story arc. It's just an odd misnomer, I see this more as like the blue, violet and black sections of United Light

Yes, I'm posting this a little bit earlier than I wanted.. I wanted to have all the chapters in the "dusting off" stage, but  I think getting feedback and seeing how the first few chapters pan out will help me clean up the other ones. See what works what doesn't work.  I feel good about the first 9 chapters and I wrote the end of Bellum II first-ish, because I like knowing what I'm writing up to. So things will be interesting.

 I'll admit some of the chapters are short for pacing !

Recap

 For nearly a Millinea Angels and Demons exiled from their home have lived among us trying to

survive in the human world. Paris Prince rises as the leader of Brotherhood of Demons. . just in time for Helios and his army of Angel mercernaries (yeah, I just typed that) make a reappearance, giving the Angels a hope for the future.

Helios want Paris and his kind gone. When they refuse. . . things get explosive.  Helios is always one step ahead.  However some of his men (and lady) might not be as loyal as Helios thinks.

Tired of Paris eternal pacifism, Callum begins a resistance and starts a weapons operation in Helio's backyard. If Paris can't get rid of Helios the peaceful way Callum will do it the hard way.

Meanwhile Paris loses Isobel Charter the girl he had been told he is destined to love, but instead finds himself falling for his enemie's closest compatriot and lieutenant. .  .Little does he know she is the woman he is really destined to love. She will certainly never tell.

Together Seraphina and Paris with a few select Brothers (Lysander, Ashe, Jonah, Callum, Damien and Dante but he doesn't show up that much) plot to deceive Helios from the inside. Helios has now taken control of the Brotherhood until they are to leave in 6 months time.

While they plot against him Helio's starts to weaken the Brotherhood from the outside tensions begin to run high. How long can they hold on ? Who can you really trust ? Why does Helios want them gone ? What is he planning ?


JNRR-TDOLL!LILE : Okay. .. Now I'm afraid I'm getting to complicated again. I've learned my lesson. I swear.

@SHV - I'm sorry for being a hype machine.


Bellum II Chapter 1

+1+ - Bang Bang Bang - Nicki Minaj, Arianna Grande, Jessie J

+3+ Sensual 

In The Trenches

We are wrapping up T-DOLL here. Its so funny when I finished this I had this giant sweeping gesture of "this is the end" of Linda Leigh . However I'm so far from that. I'm actually pretty optimisitc that another idea (maybe in 6 months. . . maybe ?) will come to me.  I just don't know what it is ?

So I was going to 86 T-DOLL JNRR but there is a scene involving a peppermint that I never got to write because I couldn't figure out how. I explain in chapter 11.

I need to find some inspiration. . .

Back to the trenches. . . *tries not to be distracted*

In which I argue with a doll over literature devices

 Can we talk about how awesome this is in relation to Tomfia and Clierro ? (Yes, I know Mr. F doesn't technically have a job, but that was because I didn't try hard enough to give him one). I just like this. . . this coming from a lady who's been with a tattooed unemployed writer and a Hugo Boss wearing CEO. .  at the same time. I should really write a book.

Oliva and Shawna

You guys cannot keep doing this to me. You two are such teases but I'm loving what I'm seeing !

. . .  So Obligatory Bellum Update

Okay, guys I'm hunkering down on Bellum II. I really just need to pull it all together . . .but I get distracted. I instead start plotting out Bellum III which has a bunch of odd scraps hanging around. Then I go searching for music. . . then picspiration. . . then I finally get to pulling together. It's close though. . . I can feel it. I used a lot of ellipses.

 I guess I want to have the whole thing "tacked together" before I post. I'm to scared to straight up pants but I think think I could. . . I think. I have 7 chapters up. I know what chapter 8 is and I have no idea what happens in 9 or if there is a 10 but I did finish the last chapter a LONG time ago.

TDOLL JNRR, 12K of chapters I actually didn't even need now that I think about it . . .

I tried a thing here where I inverse chapter 8 and 9. These chapters are the same events told from Fierro and Clara's POVs. They were created to help you "play along" with the narrative but I think it really just confuse the plot.

Okay, Mr. F left Clara at the alter. 1. . .2. . . 3
