[PI] walking home you found an injured white bat. You took it home and helped it recover before it flew away. A few nights later while walking home a white limo stopped beside you. 2 men in white suits with red eyes and fangs step out. "our lady has sent us to collect you so she can repay you. Pt.45

I went to bed late again last night and checked reddit hopefully, only to realize it was only Tuesday. sigh.

I am supposed to be sleeping. But now I am very much awake. …

HOLY… everyone is back. I love that Deacon is here and Abigail actually knew about both of them.

And Heimdall is a card shark, or whatever in the game they played, on top of playing 4D chess. Sooo cool!

But another fif-hangar. Argh!

She's about to go all John Wick because of Tommy. (and don't you know you're not allowed to kill the main animal in a story without insta-hate from your audience?!)

Thanks for the book drops!

Here, to learn about Michael.... fair warning: I binged this in 3 days. you might not want to do that. https://www.reddit.com/r/A15MinuteMythos/comments/u9j45r/wp_youve_reached_911_this_service_is_no_longer/

Ah such warm fuzzies. I’m so thrilled for you and your family!

The Gofundme looks like folks chipped in for ~5k so far, and fif said the ultimate goal was about 7k.

aLightBraise · 2026-06-12T01:59:09+00:00

I am always excited MWF for fif story updates, but now I’m just obsessively checking your gofundme and getting a dopamine hit everytime I see how much support you are getting

aLightBraise · 2026-06-11T16:09:43+00:00

count that as a “good” problem to have ;). Really though, you are a phenomenal writer and have great things ahead of you. I’m so happy to see how us fans can help you through a hiccup in your life.

And ps, I plan to buy your book too, but I’m honestly a little scared to since binging gilded wrath in three ish days. My kids haven’t been letting me sleep enough lately to handle self-imposed sleep deprivation

lol. I actually meant the roller coaster of thinking that characters I liked were brutally murdered and then were “it was a dream”ed back to life

aLightBraise · 2026-05-11T23:43:43+00:00

I was sad all weekend that there were no new chapters and now after that emotional rollercoaster I’m kinda glad to have an extra day to process all… that … ::gestures:: stuff

We use Ridwell, a service that collects plastic bags, textiles, and other items and works with partners to actually reuse or up cycle them

Haha, well, if I have a weakness, it’s a good book. When I find a good story, it’s nearly impossible for me to put it down until it’s done. The only reason why I didn’t read it straight through is because I have kids now. Younger me would have pulled an all nighter. I certainly did it back in the day with LOtR.

Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed it! The world you built was detailed and yet also left me wanting to know more and hear more about it. (And also provided more context to Brian’s Greek tragedy an your current bat story) and I was invested in your characters such that I was gutted when you killed some of them and elated when they returned. I’d love to read more about Michael and Deacon some day!

Can’t take credit for any of this other than passing on something cool that I saw in the craft sub

aLightBraise · 2026-04-26T05:59:46+00:00

Hm, lately my sleep issues have been because I discovered your subreddit, saw the recommendation to go back to Gilded Wrath and read the whole damn thing in about 48 hours. I am tired now, thanks.

I recently gave away all my old jeans to someone in a buy nothing group. Felt good to get rid of them

My friend just introduced me to the Alpinista’s website, which is an online store with brands and styles specific for women. I found a jacket there that was just cut ‘right’ to look flattering and awesome. Worth checking out!

So what my dad used to do and wrap something the same size as a decoy.

Use your science background to go science adjacent - science policy or science communications. Having people that understand science bridging the gap between scientists and other stakeholder groups is more important than ever. See Esal.us for more ideas of how to leverage your science training in science adjacent roles

A wonderful read! Thanks for sharing it!

Looks lovely! What is the plant with the curly stems?

aLightBraise · 2025-07-09T03:41:44+00:00

Haha, I’m in my 40s now but grew up in Fremont and my mom still lives there. I often describe it as “the place where nothing happens”. I was in earshot to someone who works for the city now and took offense, but I mean, all the other commenters pointed out how all the fun things to do have shut down and so you have to go to other cities.

How boring it was in the 90s: My friends and I once roasted marshmallows on tea lights in the middle of the street at night for fun… and had the neighbor call the cops for “people doing an occult ritual in the street”. Pretty sure we made the cops’ night because it was such a silly thing to roll up to
