FOR THE “YOU CAN KILL ME BUT DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH THEM” DYNAMICS 

kisses prompts to give the readers butterflies:

(feel free to use! yk what to do babies, tag me when u writee !! importantly the 2nd, 6th and 10th prompt >\\<)

hands around your waist as they pull you closer, goosebumps swarming every part of your body that they touch

kisses where they peck you a thousand times and you just sit there giggling with your face squished in their palms while they kiss

the kiss that breaks apart for a second, a smile stretching and they kiss you back again, fingers gently sliding down the side of your face to your neck

"i like the taste of your lips on mine"

kisses where they push you against the cold wall, their hands tracing your curves as they nibble on your lower lip, hands teasing every edge as you moan into the kiss

gently tugging at their collar, out of breath, they ask, "do you want me to stop?" you hurriedly say, "just the opposite, please"

kisses where they pin their hand on either side of your head, body pressing down on yours, places touching on where it shouldn't

neck grabbing during kisses >\\<

meeting each other after a long time and running into each other's arms, hugs tighter than ever as they place a kiss on your head, relieved that it finally feels like home

kisses that turns into love bites, and you slightly moan, "you like that, princess?"

intimate back hugs where they slowly trail kisses from your collarbone to your jaw, making you shiver, and they mumble, "god you smell fucking good."

AN  INCOMPLETE  LIST  OF  NICHE  KISSES 

feel free to edit who is sending and receiving,  i wanted to keep this post short and sweet so i didn’t create two perspectives since it’s easy to switch around after pasting 

1)  sender kisses the corner of receiver’s eye where their skin is crinkling from a smile. 

2)  sender tenderly places several kisses on receiver’s belly. 

3)  sender takes receiver’s hand and kisses their wrist,  lingering there to feel their pulse against their lips. 

4)  sender takes receiver’s chin between their fingers while receiver is smiling or laughing so they can kiss their dimple.  

5)  sender kisses under receiver’s ear,  right where the jaw and neck connect. 

6)  sender slowly kisses each of receiver’s fingertips. 

7)  sender takes receiver’s hand and kisses their palm. 

8)  sender kisses receiver’s palm after receiver cupped their cheek. 

9)  sender sensually kisses receiver’s inner ankle to start an ascension of caresses up towards their thigh. 

10)  sender kisses the middle of receiver’s chest,  right where the sternum is. 

11)  sender kisses receiver’s eyelids. 

12)  sender stands behind receiver and sweeps their hair aside to kiss the nape of their neck. 

13)  sender sensually kisses right behind receiver’s ear. 

14)  sender tilts receivers head back so they can kiss their throat right beneath their chin. 

15)  sender takes hold of receiver’s face and teasingly squishes their cheeks so it puckers their lips before placing a quick peck. 

6 Tricks to Layer on Stakes

Every great story has stakes–things that are at risk throughout the plot. It might be that the protagonist’s life is at risk, or perhaps a romantic relationship, or maybe the opportunity to go on a long-awaited trip. Years ago, I had a hard time understanding stakes, and I think it was in part because they were often defined vaguely. Everything clicked when I realized that they are really potential consequences, which is how I prefer to define them now.

Stakes are significant events that could happen, and they include a sense of cause and effect. Typically, you can fit stakes into an “if … then … ” statement (even if it’s not literally written as one in the text):

“If I don’t defeat [the antagonist], then he’ll hurt my family.”“If you become a vampire, then the only thing you’ll love is blood.”“If we don’t fight back, then he’ll take all our land, our homes, our lives we built.” “If we don’t keep moving, then dehydration will kill us.”

Great stakes are closely related to tension, suspense, and hooks. All three get the audience to look forward and anticipate what could happen, usually by getting the audience to hope or fear a potential consequence. The audience then has to keep reading to discover the actual outcome.

All easier said than done. For many writers, stakes can be difficult to get on the page specifically because they require the writer to brainstorm possible, future outcomes–some of which may not actually happen.

For example, say your characters are stranded in a desert. They decide if they don’t keep moving, they could die of dehydration. But perhaps, in reality, it turns out if they had stayed put, they would have been rescued. Stakes aren’t always about what actually happens. Remember, they are about risk.

In a page-turner of a story, you’ll want to brainstorm and put in much more stakes, or potential consequences, in the text than what actually happens. For some of us, it’s hard to brainstorm enough of those, so here are some tricks.

1. Look at both positive and negative potential consequences.

When it comes to stakes, we often focus on the negative … because that is what is at risk.

“If [the protagonist] doesn’t defeat [the antagonist], [the antagonist] will take over the world.”

But putting positive outcomes on the page can sometimes be just as effective.

“If Samantha can nail this audition, then she can finally star in a movie.”

In this example, a positive potential consequence is what is at risk. Sure, we could change it to a negative–if she doesn’t nail the audition, she can’t star in a movie.

But the exercise of looking at both positive and negative potential consequences can help you brainstorm new ones. After all, if we were only looking at the negative, we may not have come up with “starring in a movie.”

2. Add to the cause-and-effect trajectory

Once you have one stake on the page, you can often add more to it, by taking the cause-and-effect trajectory out further. Suzanne Collins does this well in the opening of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

If the protagonist can’t eat cabbage soup, then he can’t get his stomach to stop growling (consequence #1), which means people will realize he’s poor, not rich (consequence #2), which means his reputation will be ruined (consequence #3), which means he’ll lose his opportunity to be a mentor through his school program (consequence #4), which means he’ll unlikely be able to meet the credentials needed for college (consequence #5), which means his family won’t be taken care of (consequence #6), which means his cousin might have to succumb to prostitution (consequence #7).

Whew, that’s a lot that hinges on making cabbage soup. Suddenly finding out whether or not the cabbage soup is going to work feels way more important!

You don’t have to take it out that far, but hopefully you get the idea.

3. Consider broad potential consequences

Another helpful approach is to look at how a potential consequence can have broader ramifications.

This works even with personal matters.

“If Jasper doesn’t return Emily’s love with a proposal, her descendants may be doomed to live in poverty.”

Here, something personal, love, has been broadened to include a family line–all of Emily’s children.

“If George doesn’t get to water, he could die of dehydration, which means his evil uncle could take the throne.”

In this example, the protagonist’s possible death affects a whole kingdom.

4. Consider personal potential consequences

A reverse of the previous is to look at ways to make potential outcomes more personal.

“If I don’t defeat the antagonist, he’ll take over the world–my mom, dad, Frankie, my entire hometown won’t survive.”

Here we move from a broad problem to a personal risk.

5. Pull in other cause-and-effect trajectories

In most stories, there are multiple cause-and-effect trajectories at work–this is what makes up the plot. There might be a primary plot, a secondary plot, tertiary plot, etc. There might be cause-and-effect trajectories that only last for several chapters or less.

One way to brainstorm more stakes, is to try to connect the current situation to an indirect stake.

For example, say in one plotline, the protagonist is concerned about training her dog. In another plotline, she’s concerned about getting her love interest to take notice of her. They may seem pretty unrelated, but you can look for ways to make them connect. If she can’t get her dog trained, then Fido might decide to try to chase after the love interest’s car–earning her the wrong kind of attention.

6. Look at perceived threats

Sometimes a perceived risk can also work well. Meaning, the character thinks something is at risk, when it actually isn’t. Multiple times in the Harry Potter series, Harry is at risk of being killed or expelled, but since we know there are more books in the series, we can surmise that he won’t be … at least not until near the end, probably.

Or perhaps you are writing about a child who thinks if she lies to her teacher, she’ll go to jail. This is obviously not true, but to her, it’s a possibility.

When perceived threats are written well, it can often feel as if they are real, even when the audience knows they aren’t. This can be effective to layer on (and is better than nothing), but needs to be mixed up with the others, as its often not as powerful.

With these six approaches, you should be armed to brainstorm more, significant stakes. To learn more about stakes, you can read my other article on them here: How to Write Stakes in Storytelling.

+ romantic starters (that aren’t really romantic)

“ you captured my heart like the bandit you swore you’d protect me from. “

“ how do i push you out when your soul is so closely intertwined with mine? “

“ it’s true what they say, you know. love can last forever. “

“ love is not capable of surviving in an environment that welcomes its destruction. “

“ but for love, you need to learn to let go. yes, there’s always a risk, but you need to be ready for that. “

“ love is eternal. it doesn’t just go away. “

“ you broke my heart. “ “ and you broke my spirit. “

“ i will always love you. “ “ even when i don’t deserve it? “

“ this love, is it really worth it? “ “ it will always be worth it. “

“ love is an open game. and cheaters never fail. “

“ you think love is eternal. it’s not. thank god it’s not. “ 

“ love’s a pretty fragile line, you know. so you better tread lightly. “

“ does your heart really ignite when you’re with me? does it come alive? “ 

“ you bend and you break until someone decides it’s not worth it anymore. “ 

“ love isn’t the antidote. it’s what got you sick in the first place. “

“ even the wicked witch found love. “

“ love is either a blessing, or a curse. “

“ not everyone is capable of being loved. “ “ that doesn’t make them any less important. “

“ there’s people out there who would kill for love. some who would live for it, too. “

“ the second you start chasing, you’ve already lost. “

“ you can’t turn your back on someone you love, no matter how much you want to. “

“ you know romeo and juliet, don’t you? they were said to be true love. “ “ and look what happened. “

“ love’s destructive. it forces its away into your bloodstream, barricading your soul until there’s nothing left. “

“ i don’t wish to fall for anyone. “ then what do you wish for? “ “ i wish to fall in love with myself. “

“ love isn’t always the solution. “ “ but it’s part of the equation. “ 

“ my love for you inspires me to do bad things. really bad things. things that no human should ever speak of. “ 

“ that’s how strong their love was. it could practically overcome anything. until the day it couldn’t. “

“ you can’t just stop loving someone. especially not when they’re all you think about when you’re alone. “

“ love does last forever. just not in the way you think it does. “ 

“ my heart is forever indisposed. “

“ i fucking despise the feeling of being in love. “

“ you brought me back to life. “ “ and you tore mine away from me. “

Describing Characters of Color in Writing

Your Default Narrative Settings Are Not Apolitical

On Writing LGBTQ characters (another list)

1.) It’s not hard to figure out what to do, there are plenty of resources.

People say you have to get it right, do your research, but … what else are you supposed to research? It’s not like people with more pigment in their skin have completely different personalities than those with less, any more than any individual. It’s frustrating when I can’t even figure out what the heck people are talking about.

Bam. Research step one done for you.

2.) Writing characters of color/minorities is a good thing.

I don’t like the notion that fantasy authors are under some kind of obligation to present ethnically diverse worlds. I’m English, and a fair sized part of English history consists of unwashed beardy white people in mead halls. If I’m inspired by my own history and cultural heritage, then that’s what I’m damn well going to write about. I’m not writing about some other culture just to appease the people who think there aren’t enough black characters in fantasy, or whatever. You want it, you write it. Nothing to do with me.

You’re wrong.

3.) Your all White Fantasy Land Didn’t Exist in Real Life:

…the rather medieval one has more diversity than real medieval Germany probably had […] In a world with medieval means of transport, it just doesn’t seem natural to me to mix dark-skinned people with blue-eyed blondes in one setting. I just try to give the people a colour that fits the place where they live.

You mean like the people from Africa and the Middle east who began to take over Southern Spain, as well as the Jews who were pretty well spread out throughout Europe, the Middle Easterners they would have met on the Crusades, and the incoming Mongol Hordes who spread to the very edges of Eastern Europe before the empire finally collapsed? Don’t forget that Turkey is right there, and the silk road would have gone from Song Dynasty China, through India, and ended in Turkey before moving further westwards into places like Germany. Also the attempts at the Franco-Mongol alliance would have been pretty interesting. (That’s about the 13th century - arguably smack dab in Middle Ages Europe and definite contact between France/Christian Europe and the Mongolian Empire.)

Unless you’re writing everything in the far reaches of Denmark or something, historically speaking, I call bullshit on people who have societies that are only all white ever, because it’s just inaccurate. Consider the relative closeness of Northern Africa to Spain, or Turkey to the rest of Europe, the conquests of Alexander the Great, the Crusades, Slavery existing in Europe, including England, the slave trade, imperialism, Pax Mongolica, The Silk Road, Jewish Diaspora, the Islamic Empire vs The Holy Roman Empire, Egypt, Algeria, China’s sailing across the world, The Maruyan/Gupta Empires of India, tea trades, Columbus sailing in hopes of finding China, etc, etc, etc.

4.) I mean I just don’t believe you anymore. It’s unrealistic. Seriously guys.

You’d think I’d just denied the holocaust or something. Get a grip. All I said was that I’m going to write about my own cultural experience and anyone who thinks I should do otherwise for the sake of political correctness can bugger off.

This isn’t even about being PC this is just not being wrong about everything.

good lord.

Enemies to lovers stuff we need more of Because they're underrated as hell !

Enemies to lovers × switch bodies trope.

(Where characters wake up one day and discover they're in the body of their arch-nemesis. And have to adjust to the lives of each other with the side of brewing feelings. Hehe ~ ) This stuff is my shit and I can not emphasize enough how underrated it is.

Possible dialogue or scenario ideas.

"You're really lucky to have a cool family like that ". They care about you ".( Or finding out about their cute or dysfunctional family)

" Just stay outta my family business okay? !" Dude, I'm in your body you dumbass! How am I supposed to do that ?!

" I didn't know you had a thing for action figures/plushies/ comic books/ cheesy romantic movies ( or some other weird but cute stuff your character likes to collect )

"That is my body and I'm not letting you walk out in those clothes!!"

Hey, hey! No smoking! That's my lungs you're gonna burn!

Finding out an embarrassing secret of them and teasing them or keeping in mind for future blackmail. Hehe.

" So...I accidentally read your diary". You what?!

Finding out they have a soft side / sweet side they only show to their loved ones or pets.

Having to forcibly spend time with their enemy because they don't want that little shit to do something stupid with their body or ruin their reputation.

Where A has a crush on C . And B, who's now in A's body tries to embarrass them in front of their crush ( * cough * because they're not jealous and into their enemy * cough*)

Having a first-hand experience of what their enemy's life is like and soon feeling empathy or understanding them.

Teaching each other about their habits or things to do and things not to do. And the other messing up anyway.

Finding out a cute yet embarrassing secret about their enemy. Eg: " So I never took for one who liked teddy bears. No, seriously. Why are your all underwear like that?"

BEING ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER even though they've SWITCHED BODIES!! like, " have my lips always looked that soft and kissable? " Or have my eyes always looked that pretty or is it just because it's A?" ( you get me?)

Or having to deal with the toxic relationship of the lover or friend/ family members of their enemy and taking care of it like a badass.

Maybe one character has a crush on their enemy's sibling or friend and is ecstatic to be close to their crush. ( Well, even though they're in their enemy's body but still...!)

When they fall in love with the body parts the other is insecure about.

Enemies to lovers× love potion.

( where character A gets affected by a love potion and ends up falling for B, who's their enemy, and annoyed B who just shake them off) Another underrated thing.

Possible scenarios :

Chr A doing sweet things for B and trying to win their affection. Probably buying gifts or whatever B likes.

A attempt to give random hugs and kisses to B and B always push A away.

B slowly warming up to A but still keeping a distance because they know it's not real.

B slowly beginning to enjoy this sweet and cute side of A but not admitting it.

B getting finding A's attempts and quirks or whatever is cute.

A being a sad, sulking puppy when B gets mad at them.

" I'm only taking/ accepting_____ because you worked so hard at it. Not because I want it "

B hurting A's feelings and having to apologize later.

Trying to find a solution to the potion's effect but gradually they feel a little hesitant to go back to how things were.

When they kiss or cuddle and B finds out they... actually like it.

BEING CUTE TOGETHER?!?

Being teased by their friends or loved ones.

B avoiding A but A ending up finding them everytime.

One getting hurt and the other getting pissed or saving the other from harm.

B discovering they're falling in love with A and giving them the cold shoulder or avoiding them.

When the potion's effect finally wears off and now things are back to normal but now B is in love with A.

When a mutual friend decides to be their wingman tries to bring them back together.

( juicy plot twist: A was faking it all along for a prank or bet or whatever. And now they're in too deep to take it back. Because they love to see B so flustered and cute! And nope, they're not falling in love with them. )

The love potion just made the love they've been hiding/ denying for the other evident. Like making the person who drank it unable to hold it in any longer.

Enemies to lovers× arranged marriage.

A marriage of convenience for a shared goal. Maybe to maintain peace between two countries or parties or because of a business arrangement etc and slowly falling in love is top tier ✨!!

Enemies to lovers× reincarnation.

( where character A and B were lovers in their past lives or probably enemies with a thing for each other but it ended on a tragic note and they get reincarnated) They may or may not be aware of their reincarnation.

Possible scenarios:

Maybe A is immortal or some supernatural being and remembers their past and how B died because of them or what happened to B. So they keep a distance and are intentionally being a jerk to B to make B hate them.

Either of them not knowing their tragic past but feeling a strange attraction to each other though they claim to hate them.

B is a normal human but remembers their past life where A was a jerk then and A still a jerk now. But damn it, they're still hot!

" I don't know whether to kiss you or stab you"

Playful flirting and teasing each other leading to a bit of sexual tension.

I hate you, I hate you, I hate you! I hate your beautiful eyes, I hate your sexy smirks, I hate your stupid sweet scent, I hate your cute smile, I hate your hot body, and most of all - I hate your cute face!

Taking care of the other when they're sick or in need and going like" this doesn't change anything, I still hate you"

Can you stop being so cute so I can keep hating you? Because I can't -!

Ha! Do you think I like you ?! I could kiss you right now and I wouldn't feel shit! " Oh yeah?"

A confesses their feelings to B when drunk and stealing a kiss. Now A is sober and doesn't remember but B does.

The moment they realize they love the other.

Similar to above, if they slowly remember their past lives and are hit with shock and ... happiness?

Placing one of them or both of them under a curse for extra plot spice. And no, it can't be broken by a true love kiss.

Denying their feelings and avoiding the other but missing them at the same time.

Haha! You must have been cursed unlucky in your past life! " Yeah? Well, my life got cursed ever since your shitty legs stepped in it !"

You and I go way back, love. You wouldn't believe it even if I told you.

You know,you're an annoying pain in the neck but why do I feel so comfortable with you?

Wait,you remember what happened?! Why didn't you say anything?!

No one knows you better than me. No one.

You're mine and mine only. You're mine to save and You're mine to kill. Your life belongs to no one else but me .

Shit! Y-you're not supposed to remember! That was the deal... T-that was the deal to keep you safe.

I remember. I remember what happened between us in the past. I remember... That you killed me.

You're not supposed to love me! How can you love me after remembering what I did to you?!

Enemies to lovers × soulmates.

( I need a whole book to ramble about how underrated this trope is because the soulmate AU has so many cool concepts that would be awesome for Enemies to lovers )

Possible scenarios:

Where characters A and B are soulmates but are unaware and they hate each other. They may or may not be searching for their missing half but they also can't shake off the intense attraction to their arch-nemesis.

OR... They're attracted to each other but are marked for others and in the end, end up defying the system.

Chr A has a soulmate mark but hasn't found theirs yet. Chr B is a normal person who is birthed unmarked and they are in a love-hate relationship with A.

Character B is marked but hasn't found their soulmate yet so they're in a temporary relationship with someone else who's not their match and their society, there's an age where or ritual that people do find their soulmate and character B gets shocked when their destined lover is the most despicable person they know.

Similar to the above, characters A and B are enemies and Chr A has a crush on character C. They're almost to the age of the big reveal and are hoping their destined lover will be character C. But nope, it ends up being B.

Where your character gets two different marks for two different people. One for their soulmate and the other for their destined enemies. Most people don't know the difference or your character's marks look similar.

Where A finds out their soulmate is their enemy early in their life and hides their mark or gives a cold shoulder to B and all because they hate the concept of being controlled by "fate " or just don't want a soulmate or whatever. But B is unaware and has been yearning to meet their destined lover. Bonus point: Chr A and B's bond required them to be dependent on each other but since A is hiding it, they get a lot of pain or face consequences.

Chr A and B are soulmates but have been communicating through their bond but have never seen each other's face or met before. Unknown to them their soulmate is the same despicable person they dislike so much.

This concept can be great for a hero x villain stuff as well. Plus there are so many ways to go around it and so many ideas in this concept.You could search on some soulmate prompts and get a ton of ideas .
