Kolo's Literatures
Warnings:
∗ Discussion of childhood abuse/trauma
∗ Suicidal ideation/self-loathing
Who would you have been, without everything that happened to you? What would you give, to become that person?
Story follows And The Thing About Being a Bug and House of Liars.
Who are you, to think you get to dictate anything about anyone else?
Contains major violence and detailed gore. Please be wary when reading.
Sequel to Keep a Secret and Grieve in Blood.
I answer the same questions a billion times over IC for my characters. I don't have anything better to do, no.
Since this is IC, stuff is of dubious canonity. Character(s) lie, sometimes without realizing. Don't take anything here as strictly fact.
Warnings:
∗ Allusions to Fucking™ but nothing explicit. ALSO FLIRTIN N SMOOCHIN
∗ Some violence & depictions of paranoia/anxiety
Dijamant drags Kolo and, accidentally, Zehneck with him on a personal quest of dubious importance. (Don't read the cast list... spoilers...)
Spoilers for Keep A Secret, The Vote, & What Will Happen to the Stories from the Bogs.
Warnings:
∗ Usage of: firearms, alcohol
∗ Description of vomiting
∗ Detailed gore/viscera
∗ Description of a panic attack
Tabel Ink discovers there's a little speedbump with his project, and sets off on a quest to fix it. He bumps into a few people on the way, including some new friends.
How long ago had the last round of this been, anyways? How many leaders ago had it been since he'd last faced down a jealous, angry mortal, desperate for answers? Two, three, four generations ago? Four thousand years, a blink of an eye in his life, a half-second, a shard of a shard of everything he'd experienced. How long ago had Narke cast him down, thrown him into the dirt to suffer for his precious mortals?
Kolo vs. intrusive thoughts.
More personal/a vent than anything else. Working through complex weird shit. I won't be bothered if you don't want to read this semi-ramble of a mess. Not really fully-thought-out. This is a lot of words to justify posting vent writing on Toyhouse (sweats)
"I think it's kind of gruesome," Chetyre awkwardly said, shifting to slide his hands into his pockets, watching Linija flop onto the highest stair. The birds still chirped, far overhead, circling in the small clearing. "The idea that power has to be tied to... death like that."
Something nefarious is brewing in the Tourmaline Empire.
Spelta Triticum and Caerulea Nymphaea catch up after the judging portion of a Competition.
Stuff about the Geometry Squad.
...and you'll keep the peace.
Sequel to Grieve in Blood. Spoilers for said story abound, of course.
Followed by House of Liars.
Warnings:
I don't know how to say this nicely. Not for the faint of heart.
∗ Blood/gore, described in heavy detail and a major feature of the story.
∗ Sexual themes; nothing explicit happens but heavy implications and thought process.
∗ Possessive, creepy, potentially-disturbing lines of thought.
This story is meandering and confusing to read.
You're hurt! You're full of blood!
Warnings:
∗ Vomiting
Ink Colony has committed the most heinous cardinal sin of Ant culture, and upon finding this news, Cleverly of the Clover Colony knows he can't let Tinte Ink remain in power any longer. However, Ink's got someone else on their side.
Cyrus and Narke talk to each other over an instant-messaging app. Cleverly eventually joins them.
Warnings:
∗ Extensive description of the main character grieving loss of life.

Tinte brings up some existential questions to Cleverly.
Warnings:
∗ Gaslighting.
∗ Arson.
∗ Uncomfortable interactions between a teenager and a person of authority. Nothing actually explicit, but there's implications.
Ferox set Havenfrost, the capital of High North, on fire. Caerulea refuses to let that happen.
