Progress!

 Hi, again! I'm happy to say that I've started outlining more of WSCS! I also had ideas for new fics that are now percolating in my mind. I hope this year is much more productive writing-wise than 2018 was for me (I barely wrote anything!! It makes me sad.)

 

1: First Meeting

Renato has just turned thirteen and his name is finally gaining weight in the underworld. He is thirteen and his hands are already tainted with blood. He doesn’t really care, even though he sometimes thinks he should (his mama would have wanted him to.)

Renato is thirteen, four feet nine, and his eyes are cold even though they are brown. His life has not been kind to him, but he’s stubborn; he’s determined. His life is his, and no matter what it throws at him, he will raise up to the challenge and win.

Renato is thirteen the first time he awakens in a different mindscape.

The muscles in his back tense for a second before relaxing, fluid and graceful, and his hand closes over his glock. He barely moves as he analyzes the undefined space with his eyes hidden in the shadows of his hat.

This should not be possible. It has been years; if it was ever going to happen it should have happened way before this.

Mist Flames? He can’t sense them, not even after opening up his senses and reaching.

There’s a tug on his pants and he doesn’t jump. His muscles obey his training, so before his conscious mind registers there is a threat his glock is already turned down, pointed directly between the eyes of the offender who had evaded all his senses.

Huge, innocent green eyes peer up at him, shining with undisguised curiosity, and Renato freezes. The owner of the eyes blinks and crosses them a bit, trying to focus on the weapon, and it is then that Renato realizes what he’s doing. He quickly secures his weapon in the holster strapped to the small of his back and takes a hasty step away from the goddamn baby.

A baby. His soulmate is a baby.

Renato doesn’t know if he should laugh, cry, or shoot something. Because of course.

[To be continued...]

There'll be more teasers and such whenever I have something ready, so maybe look forward to it?
