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

Eventually, I’m going to switch to my NaNoWriMo project; My Tool, My Treasure. I’m going to let Quartz go on a little longer with Of Cuckoo Clocks and Crystal Coffins first…
Quartz: Oh, aren’t you gracious, scribbler. Many thanks!
Me: Don’t mention it.
Quartz: (grumbles under his breath)
Every dwarf has a namestone, at least every dwarf in my family. I took great pride in mine, the way its facets gleamed, how it grew with jagged elegance from the ground, singing in a silent voice I alone could hear.
At least I thought I was alone in this.
Someone is always listening, even if you don’t hear or notice them.
I learned that the hard way.
Quartz: What?! That’s only five sentences!
Me: It’s the end of the introduction. The chapter break is after this.
Quartz: Well, you’d better give me seven or eight sentences next Saturday! Stingy scribbler!
Me: All right, all right…

Love the snippet, especially about the song that only he can hear and the last three lines.

Quartz: Thank you, m’dear, your support is a regular source of cheer amidst the chaos of the scribbler’s attempts to make sense of her imagination.
Me: You came from my imagination, you know.
Quartz: And that’s how I know what a mess it is.
Me: …

Quartz: Yes, she is, isn’t she? (glowers at me)
Me: Next week, I’ll give you a little extra next week…
Quartz: And then you’ll be switching to My Tool, My Treasure. (lets out a hmmphing sound)
Me: Well, it is my NaNo project. I don’t plan to neglect Of Cuckoo Clocks and Crystal Coffins this month, though.
Quartz: Right…
