Welcome to Rainbow Snippets!
Every Saturday, those participating post and share six sentences of LGBTQIA+ fiction on their blogs. It might be their own. It might be someone else’s. It just needs to be LGBTQIA+.

Quartz continues where he left off next week in a scene which may or may not fit in Of Cuckoo Clocks and Crystal Coffins, but he insisted on my writing it…:)
“Not a fool, yet still you like to live dangerously, dwarf.” Prunella blew steam out of their nostrils. “Tell me, what did you hope to get from this trade?”
I started to cough, unable to answer at first. “A home,” I managed to wheeze. “A home for my brothers and myself.”
Aw, Quartz… {{{hugs}}}
And the coughing — does Prunella have dragon breath?

Quartz: (wheezing and accepting hugs) Very much.
Prunella: Hmmph. No one appreciates pepper, only salt. (makes a tsking sound)

Prunella: Hrrumph, this ‘is’ nice. They’re the ones sashaying into a dragon’s lair…uninvited.
Nimmie Not: (pouting) But I’m your kobold, my sweet and steamy! I thought I was always welcome!
Prunella: That’s an exaggeration as usual.
(Nimmie Not looks hurt.)
Quartz: Dragon’s got a point.
Nimmie Not: My dragon and my dwarf, turning against me. (heaves a theatrical sigh)
Quartz and Prunella (in one mutter) So not yours…
