Rainbow Snippets: Out of his own head.

Rainbow Snippets is a Facebook group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week and share six sentences from a work of fiction–a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation.

Being a sequel, In Love and Death is set directly after In Pain and Blood. Some snippets will contain spoilers of those events.

Following last week’s snippet…

Dylan’s gaze flicked towards the tents. He stood, slowly, as though his bones had forgotten how to move, a mirthless smile thinning his lips. “You’re trying to get me away from them. In case I do something stupid.”

“Not at all.” He didn’t believe the man would willingly bring any harm to others, but the state of his mind was tenuous and Tracker had come across a lot of accidental tragedies caused by such a combination of strong magic and high emotions. “I am simply trying to get you out of your own head.” Between their impromptu intimacy last night, setting fire to the tower and their travelling, the man hadn’t been given much space to calm his mind.

Linking their arms, Tracker casually guided Dylan away from the fire, noting how the flames shifted from a translucent blue to their original brassy hue the moment the man’s full attention turned elsewhere.

I’ll see you all with more from In Love and Death next week. In the meantime, check out these other snippets.
