All Hail the Shifter King

Title: Say Something
Word Count: 691

Notes: A little something out of order, from The Lords of Kensington. I told myself I was going to post entirely linear for this novel, but this scene tackled me while I was listening to Great Big World's "Say Something" and it demanded sharing.

Title: Lords of Kensington, Part 18
Word Count: 1930

Notes: Oh Ryder. Always getting yourself in trouble. This was a fun one to write, not necessarily because of the "tension" (*snrk*) but because it's easy to forget sometimes that shiftkin are very much animals - they might have started their lives as humans but things change over the centuries. Sometimes the most appealing thing to an animal is being in the company of other animals.

Note: To keep me from getting burned out on my Lords of Kensington "short story" (hahahaha) I decided to write another short focusing on Azrin's backstory (the lovable, hyper-chatting minor character in LoK).

Would you take an out, if you were given it?Collapse )

Title: Lords of Kensington, Part 17
Word Count: 2592

Note: I literally wrote this entire scene around the image of the sheets of magic at the end, shattering in slow motion while a car plows through them. Being a huge fan of awesome slow-motion crap in movies, I seriously couldn't resist. I also figured it was time I shared a fight scene where Ryder isn't getting his ass kicked. Dedicated to Seth, who not only looks great in red, but also has a tendency to jump off stairwells.

Title: Lords of Kensington, Part 16
Word Count: 2111

Note: I didn't forget about the Coronation Masquerade, the high-society event that Katrina managed to convince Ryder to attend with her. Of course, black tie events require shopping and what better chance to show our dynamic duo acting like normal people, even with all the bizarre crap happening to them? This piece is ultra-fluff - we'll return to our gratuitous violence in the next section.

Title: Lords of Kensington, Part 11
Word Count: 1701

Note: I half-assed the hell out of this because I've been suffering from a wretched chronic pain flareup lately and I want to write about as much as I want to chew my own foot off. So this is ... it's bad. It's just wretchedly bad. But I'm keeping it for a couple amusing points of dialogue and the sake of actually making this meeting happen so I can get back to writing people being mauled by animals.
