Even In Lipsi There Are Graves

Genres: sci-fi, romance, tragedy I will be posting this story on RoyalRoadl.com There is a timeless man sitting on a cliff on a Greek island. The man himself does not look Greek, or even an islander for that matter. To anyone else, he looks exactly like a man, a man playing with a pale yellow swallowtail butterfly on a Greek island. He cages and uncages the butterfly with his fingers in a game where only he knows the rules, and the butterfly is his pawn. A warm gust of wind whips short strands of ash blond hair away from eyes. A second man approaches the sadistic game and sits beside the first; his dark, narrow eyes match the quiet c

Everyone Else - Part 15

twentyGenre: josei, m/m, drama, psychological, mature, contemporary, romance, road trip - - - Another week goes by and he hasn’t seen Donnie at any of the usual spots. Charlie can’t even bring himself to go to the café. Work piles up on his desk and he cannot afford pointless distractions from his job. He thought Donnie would be perfect since he always seems to hide behind an immutable mask of nonchalance and general disinterest in anything that wasn’t trivial. Donnie has made his choice too -- he walked away after seeing who he really was. Charlie shuffles the papers before him with more force than necessary and thum

Everyone Else - Part 13

Genre: josei, boys love, drama, psychological, mature, contemporary, romance - - - He hasn’t been back to his favourite bird-feeding spot since his rejection from Donnie. We absolutely cannot understand each other, Charlie thinks. Midday rolls by and the chill air that has pervaded the office since this morning has persuaded Charlie’s stomach that anything more substantial than a Snickers bar would effectively warm him up. In order to avoid any social action that isn’t strictly necessary, he swiftly ducks outside with his lunch box. It’s no secret even to Charlie that he does not have much in the way of emotions or

Literature

Everyone Else - Part 12

Genre: drama, psychological, mature, contemporary, romance, m/m Contains self harm - - - His stomach hurts, and it’s not the kind that can be fixed with Advil and a good night’s sleep. Charlie runs a nail along the tight stitches stapling his skin together as if to test its durability. He winces and pulls back from the tender flesh. Reliable enough, he thinks. Funny how every time he lands in a hospital it’s always at a turning point in his life. He takes a step back for a moment. In hindsight, it had been pointless -- no, naïve -- of him to seek out any one of his parents in a half-assed effort for validation. Every

Literature

Everyone Else - Part 11

Genre: drama, psychological, mature, contemporary, romance, m/m - - - Charlie looks at Finlay with eyes smoked red with fatigue, likely seeping excess alcohol that his body could not consume fast enough. He cannot comprehend the vision in front of him, and the task to do so is so great, he is tempted to believe him a sad, drunken apparition. They are on different planes of existence altogether. And how sad it is indeed to find the past at his doorstep while he's been struggling with it all these years. Charlie leans on his knees and throws up. Finlay takes a step back and avoids the spatter. Nausea thrums and bubbles forth in the pit of Ch

Literature

Everyone Else - Part 10

Genre: romance; high school + later years; drama; m/m - - - Chapter 10a - - - "Just you an' me. How 'bout it?" Finlay twangs a guitar string. He's the perfect image of a cowboy pining against the backdrop of a romantic wilderness Charlie thinks he can see through his music, instead of the hospital room that has had him walled in for two days. "I can't, Finlay." "You can't or you won't?" Charlie can feel the disappointment of a crossed child wash over him hotly. But if he stays here, he does not know how long it will be until he tries again. Until he breaks down and becomes a deadweight to all those around him. Finlay's charity is unnece

Literature

Everyone Else - Part 9

Genre: high school; romance; drama; m/m Original characters - - - His arm hurts. Charlie looks down and sees his sister pulling hard at it; her face red, shadowed by an impregnable fear. She is yelling something at him in garbled, angry words. It's her lipstick. Her lipstick has gone missing and she thinks – she knows – it's him. Last time she found her bangles and her nail polish under his mattress, so this merely furthers her suspicions. His shoulders hurt from the way her fingers dig into his skin. Exasperation irons out the temporary lines in her face as she throws him aside and storms into her room. Charlie rubs his fingers

Literature

Everyone Else - Part 8

Genre: high school; drama; romance; m/m Orginial characters - - - The house could be cleaner, Finlay thinks as he nudges a pizza box under the couch with his foot. Remains of takeout cartons, empty plastic soda bottles, and magazines litter the living room table as if he were hoarding them. "Eh… I swear I was gonna throw these out tomorrow…" He hastily gathers an armful of magazines and cartons and hurries off to the garbage can in the kitchen. After a brief moment of scurrying around the room and uttering a few times, "Er, just a sec," the place seems a lot airier. Finlay never stopped cursing himself the whole time. He turns

I was born in South Africa, moved to the U.S.A as a child, then moved again to Mauritius island, then moved to France, lived briefly in Switzerland before remaining in France.

I now live in Hong Kong.

I'm envious of a lot of people, coz there is some serious talent circulating amongst the plebs and I want to know where to get some, but apparently it's some sort of super secret >:/.

And I don't know how to make this page more interesting with cute and bouncy emoticons. I have no mad skillz whatsoever.

I have a sense of humour. If only a sense.

Lalalala. Okay, I'm done.

Much absence!

0 min read

Hello? -ello, -llo, -lo, -o *echoes* I've been absent waaaay too long. Since May? Things have happened. I got my teacher's qualification degree from my French uni, I've moved to Hong Kong, moved into a new apartment with bf, and am now working. And any free time I get I just waste on manga and anime OTL;; (mostly manga). I also plan on getting a British teacher's qualification (and then no more!). BUT! Due to some very nice encouragement from a friend, I've decided to pick up where I left off and finish my goddamn story. *motivated* I've already outlined most of the next chapter and I know where the rest is headed, all I need to do now is p

Artist's rendition of Finlay aw yiss

0 min read

GAIZ GAIZ. Gaiz. The beautiful CloverDoe (https://www.deviantart.com/cloverdoe) did a commission for me in exchange for the translation of a webcomic of hers. It's Finlay, and lookin stupidly gorgeous as he fondles his sax. On a side note, I think the story has been dragging on for too long and I want to finish it in one last chapter - and bring Finlay back! Right now I'm on holiday in Hong Kong spending time with the bf and I have to urgently write something for a secret santa exchange... but I really do want to finish this story ASAP and focus on shorter one-shots :p. I'm hoping the next chapter will have more resolve than the last one.

Failed

0 min read

Well I just failed this year and had a mini breakdown. Though I was sure I made a lot of effort and progress, it apparently means fuckall. So what does this mean? Score better on the catch-up exams and hopefully validate my year? Repeat a year? Give up everything and go teach English in Asia with my boyfriend? ~cry2plz (https://www.deviantart.com/cry2plz) Completing a masters in England is even harder. :iconlazepoolplz: Aaanyway, this means I'll be back to completing my story. I hope y'all still want to find out what happens! Because of the big wait, the next update will be twice as long than usual.
