Reflective of my headspace of late, I've taken to writing short excerpts for Glitch wip and [mostly] out of order bits for Oracle wip. I've also done some brainstorming for my Reaper wip and written odds and ends for wips that don't exist yet. Here's everything so far, in case you missed it.

in which there is a cyborg named sacha and a shapeshifter named cipher

.01 -- sacha’s jerked rudely and abruptly out of stasis, which immediately puts her on the alert because fitz may treat her like a thing, mostly, but he wakes her like he would anyone, with a nudge to the shoulder and not a zap to her temple port.

her eyes fly open and she’s met with a figure dressed in and masked by glitch-wear, which only heightens her alarm. her arm whirs as it calibrates, the pump in her heart picking up speed and filling her with adrenaline. she doesn’t swing immediately only because she doesn’t have enough intel on what’s happening to know if that’s the right move.

the stranger raises his hands palm outward in that universal sign that means ‘i’m harmless’ and also ‘don’t attack’.

Reaper is a psychopomp charged with wandering the world, finding ghosts and sending them Onwards. The lingering of ghosts wears away at the fabric of reality, allowing creatures from other dimensions to break through and wreak havoc on the mortal plane. 

​She has no memory of who she was or of her life before she was given her charge, only that she has fulfilled her responsibilities dutifully for a long, long time. And then she comes across a ghost named Tamlin, who begs her to not send him Onward. And for the first time, Reaper is moved. Reaper listens to him.

​Reaper breaks the rules. 

She doesn't know exactly why, except that she is tired of being alone, and something about Tamlin calls to her. But Tamlin is no ordinary ghost, and the consequences of this one, self-indulgent act are more far reaching than either of them know...

There is something out there, tied to Tamlin. It is far more powerful than a psychopomp, and it is hungry.

So. Reaper. Another story idea, and one that I've been thinking about, off and on, for about two years now. I still don't feel ready to write it, but I have developed it a little more, and I wanted to share it with you guys! Hence this post!
