So sometimes I run out of words to adequately express my slavish devotion to your work and after Cirque this popped into my head, and I knew I had to make it.
Here's a thing for you, and Happy Holidays!
You...
You...
You made me art???
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. THIS IS THE CUTEST, SWEETEST THING OMG WTF. Like, I don't even know how to process it.
The detailing on the pen??? The raccoon's sweet lil expression? Also, this is exactly what my writing process looks like HOW DID YOU KNOW. I LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT
I made you something, too.
🡣
Well, I'm not getting over this any time soon, so THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
Can I confess that I always had this smug, stupid dream that someone would be inspired enough by something I've written to doodle a scene or something from my stories? But, instead, you one-upped that fantasy entirely and drew something for *me*? Ugh. YOU'RE SO CUTE. THANK YOU AGAIN, FAE. It's seriously so crazy.
In total sincerity, that anybody cares this much about my work is such a mind-boggling thing to me. My blog is tiny, but I feel like I get more interaction than some of the big blogs for other huge fandoms, and I feel very grateful and special thanks to you.
And I'm so happy you enjoyed Cirque! I really, really loved writing that piece. I kinda just wanted to live in it tbh? So thank you for loving it, too. And for always reading and sharing your thoughts with me. <3 I hope you have the very best day!

Everytime I see people shaming others for their grey hairs while young (18-28) it always upsets me since I've been getting them since I was 13

RE: Neo Seoul Update
Hey, babe, rather than just answer in the comments, I figured I'd share it here since I have a few people who probably have the same question.
The short answer, @sandiegokpop, is haha, um, no, nothing definite... 🙃 LOL SORRY I AM FAIL.
The longer answer is "kind of"??? By the end of the year for SURE.
So, here's the deal. I made some mistakes when I first published Neo Seoul that I typically don't allow myself to make, but my muse, at the time, got cocky. She thought that because it was all planned in my brain already that it would be easy to get from A to B since it was only four oneshots. She was wrong. >.<
Typically what I do is write the entirety of a novel/multichap before I publish, which is why I can afford to do the weekly updates (PTT took 8 months to write before I even published the first chapter, and STS took over a year). I did not do that with Neo Seoul, hence all your suffering, I'm so sorry. 🤦♀️
Also, I am usually writing a half dozen things simultaneously so the muse stays entertained and does not leave me. I did a word count tally a few weeks ago, and I'm at well over 650k of MX smut... WTF IS WRONG WITH ME LOL. 🥴
So as I finish up the final installment for NS, I promise to keep entertaining you. I have a mammoth HW oneshot due out in the next couple of days, several October oneshots that I'm pushing for my spoopy series again this year, a Ki xmas exes-to-lovers fic, and a Kyun multichap and a HW multichap that we won't see until next year no doubt (plus, several other pretty far-along pieces that haven't even been discussed and could drop at any point the muse sees fit).
Like a real ding dong, I took that writing hiatus for a couple of months, and it super duper set me back in my scheduling. >.< It's never the plots that take me so long to write so much as it is the smut itself. I try my absolute best to make each experience feel fresh and unique to the characters, but that takes soooooooooooo much time omfg. I never want to bore y'all! I like to be different as much as I just like to explore because I want to have a little something for everyone.
Your interactions help me trust that I'm achieving my goals, so thank you for always checking in. Just know that I
ABSOLUTELY
POSITIVELY
WILL NOT
leave you hanging with Neo Seoul. There shall be no abandoned works on this blog.
There's no way I can cope with the enlistments without copious amounts of storytelling. I write almost every day since it helps me feel connected to them (and also, I'm a dope and a sap and a true delulu).
So I'm sorry I can't get it to you the way I usually do , but I will continue to work my absolute hardest to bring you something engaging and innovative and satisfying (and, hopefully, hot af, let's be real).
(Told you this was the long answer haha)
