carrying a torch | Glowfic Constellation

[Soooo, you're not busy, are you?] asks Ripper. He sounds very amused about something.

bellfounding

[Just email. What's up?]

tearingup

[My minting's gone, and I'd like it back if that's all right.]

bellfounding

[Did you torch? What happened, are you okay?]

tearingup

He laughed.

[Yeah, I torched. I'm fine. Aianon decided to give me some sexy nightmares, that's all. Does minting go away when you torch? That sounds inconvenient.]

bellfounding

[You can stick properties onto torching with evils, and take them off the same way, but those are also what I need to resurrect people if I don't want to wait for a batch, so even when I add new tweaks to my own powers I wait until I have a bunch of them lined up and get them all with one evil instead of doing it piecemeal, since I have hexes coming in more regularly.]

tearingup

[All right. I'll stick to hexes, then. I don't plan on torching that often.]

bellfounding

[You want me to swing by and re-mint you now?]

tearingup

[That'd be nice.]

bellfounding

Knock knock.

tearingup

Door open. Hug! Kiss!

bellfounding

Yay!

Mint!

"And you are all minty again."

tearingup

"Brilliant," he says, and kisses her some more.

bellfounding

Bella is all minty too!

[Do I want to know what exactly torched you?]

tearingup

Ripper giggles into the kiss.

[I don't know, do you?]

bellfounding

[Maaaaybe.]

tearingup

[Aianon has sharp parts,] he says merrily, still kissing her. [He likes to menace me with them. I like to be menaced. It's a good arrangement.]

bellfounding

[So basically the photo shoot but with less giggling, more blood.]

tearingup

[More or less. And not that much less giggling. But a lot more blood,] he recalls.

bellfounding

[Evisceration is hilarious, of course.]

tearingup

[Of course!]

He hugs her and nibbles on her neck. (The fact that she is currently a mint-flavoured mint is still adorable.)

bellfounding

Ooh, nibbles. She leans on him, squirmily.

[So I'm going to go play the part of the queen at a renaissance faire that thought it would be fun to ask me just in case, and I told them I'd do it for a day if they didn't give me silly lines and I could bail in case of emergency.]

tearingup

He giggles! This interrupts nibbling. But it does not interrupt hugs.

bellfounding

[Yeah. What do you think, will Queenie make me a pretty Renfest dress?]
