Snippet (and Happy Pride)

With the way things have been, it felt like a good time to share one of Em’s PTSD scenes. 💙

I hope you’re doing okay—but if you aren’t, that’s okay, too. It’s understandable.

Try not to feel shame over it. 💙

Excerpt on light-blue sea background with a dragon separating the text:“Sorry.”“For what?” Maria said—with enough casual dismissiveness to stun Emilia into silence. She waved the flask impatiently, and Emilia took it.“Thank you.” Emilia lifted the flask to her lips.Maria's gaze didn't waver. “Anytime, love.”Emilia spat out the first sip and swallowed the next.Despite Maria’s dismissive response, the shame continued to press against Emilia's chest. She took a few more sips, but the weight only seemed to grow.“I didn’t realize l’d—” Emilia stammered, “that my mind had—”“I know,” Maria interrupted.Again . . . dismissive. Yet, her eyes didn't match her tone.Maria’s gaze didn’t flick away from Emilia the way her words had. No, those large, brown eyes remained steady and focused on Emilia—soft with concern.—from GODDESS OF THE SEA, LESBIANS, PIRATES, & DRAGONS: BOOK 2, by Britney Jackson. Goddess of the Sea

This snippet from Goddess of the Sea (Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons: Book 2) was for the #lesficfri theme, “lips.”

Also, I haven’t been on much this month because I’ve been in a bit of a depressive episode. So, I don’t think I’ve wished you a happy Pride through the website yet.

Happy Pride, and please, be safe. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
