HELLO my loves 💗 how would y’all feel if I did commissioned writing?

I’m thinking of doing increments of 500 words starting at $5.

So— a (roughly) 2000 word fic would be $20 for example.

I’m VERY open about fandoms and such, I can do some research into different fandoms and write a lovely fic. Or even just a personalized letter if that’s more your style.

There will be an EXTRA FEE (probably like— $2) for any kind of NSFW content 🖤

The tags below are not the ONLY fandoms I am involved in, I could give a list, but that would be so long. Just DM me, I’m open to just about anything!

here comes another snippet of a current wip- i am coming back from another hiatus, writing once again for the adventure zone: balance <3

the fact that lady istus was in front of shylah, speaking directly to her, still left her in a state of shock. “i… of course, lady istus. i was brought up into this, and there is no other deity i would rather devote my life to." she smiled softly, tears now streaming down her cheeks. “i can't help myself... i am overwhelmed with joy knowing that everything i did for you reached you."

"you know i had another reason for leading you here tonight," istus disregarded her apology for crying, as it was unnecessary. “and he should be walking in any second now."

“he? lady istus, are you playing matchmaker now?” shylah laughed, knowing that it had been years and years, but she had never taken the time to settle down with someone, much less go out with anyone. "i guess you are just giving fate a push in the right direction," she realized she still knelt in the pew within the temple, tears streaming down her cheeks. she heard the temple doors close, the sound echoing within the empty walls, but did not attempt to look back at the individual.

“there he is, mr. merle highchurch.” istus spoke just soft enough for shylah to hear her, “knowing him, he’ll come see why you’re crying.”

shylah couldn’t place why that name sounded familiar, but she had heard it before. it wasn’t until she peered over and noticed him in the same pew she was in, just a little farther down. she looked over at him, “mr. highchurch, you can come join me if you’d like.”

merle looked up from the floor and over to shylah, whose flaming red hair fell in wild curls that miraculously framed her face in the most flattering way when he looked at her. “you look like you’re having quite the emotional moment, so i thought you’d want to be left alone, miss… i don’t think i caught your name.”

“silverstone.. shylah silverstone.” she now wiped the slightly dried tears from her face, “i just get rather emotional sometimes when it comes to lady istus. especially when i just found out everything i have done for her since i was a child reached her.”

“shy,” he started to speak again, “do you mind if i call you that?”

“not at all, my mom used to call me that.” she laughed slightly.

“alright, shy, can i give you a piece of advice?”

“i’m listening,”

“don’t ever give up on your faith. whether that be your faith in lady istus, or faith in yourself. never ever give up on it.”

Feeling Better

Nanami Kento X Reader

A/N: This is dedicated to someone who's having a rough time right now. I hope some solitude can be brought to you if you read this. <3

Description: It's just a bad day. No reason, just a flat out shit day. You called out of work to try and sleep it off, but slept longer than anticipated. Your love, Nanami, was naturally worried, so he surprised you with a little visit. You know, just to help you feel better.

Tags: established relationship, fluff, comfort, mental illness, fem!reader

Word Count: 1556

===

Sometimes, you just needed to take a mental health day. Not every day could be fully endured unfortunately, so you made the decision to call out of work and spend your time resting at home, free from the overwhelming world around you. You felt a little guilty, but it was necessary. Huddled up under the blankets in your bed, you sighed and sent off a text to your love, Kento, informing him of why you suddenly took your leave. He’d surely understand.

“I hate my brain.” You mumbled to yourself.

With another deep sigh of annoyance, you put your phone down somewhere among the sheets and cuddled your pillow tightly. You covered yourself with your comforter completely and let the warmth embrace you as you attempted to clear your mind and heal in the solitude of your home. Whatever the reason was for your bad state of mind, you hoped it would end soon. You just wanted to be mentally well enough before you saw Kento again. He didn’t need to see you like this. 

===

You didn’t really know how much time had passed. All you knew was that you fell asleep in a melancholic state and only awoke because of rusting. There should not be activity in your home. You live alone. Instinct and panic was what woke you, but when you shot up from your bundle of blankets you were able to relax once again. Nanami was the source of the noise, standing in the door frame of your bedroom putting his things down and taking off his jacket. 

“Kento… What… what are you doing in my room?” You asked groggily, admittedly a little confused as to why he was there. 

“You didn’t answer your phone, so I thought I’d check up on you.” He said. 

“Phone? … Phone. Where’s my phone?!” 

You threw around your blankets in search of your device, finding it buried inside a million folds of fluff on silent. When you checked it, you saw the stream of concerned text messages coming from Nanami, and then the time. It was seven in the evening. You had fallen asleep at noon. 

“Seven?! Oh my god, when did that much time pass?!” You panicked. “Kento I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to worry you I-”

“Shh. ______ please don’t fret. You’re the one having a rough day. I’m just here to make it better.” He offered you a warm smile, removing his tie at last. 

You stared at him while he made himself more comfortable, watching as he loosened a few buttons on his shirt before crawling up on your bed with you. He scooped you up along with several of your blankets and positioned you in his lap, leaning back against the wall for support while he held you close against his chest. You gazed up at him wide eyes like a puppy, amazed to find no signs of annoyance on his expression. 

“You look confused.” He chuckled. “I suppose you did just wake up to a handsome man in your bedroom though.”

“K-Kento, shush.” You mumbled, rather flustered. 

“Where’s the fun in that~? Besides, I’d like to hear you out. You left just before noon today, so you must not be feeling very well. I’m here to listen, if you’d be willing to talk.” He offered. 

“I… Yeah. I just… It’s been a bad day for my head today. Everything is too much, and I’m so overwhelmed. I just… needed some time in silence. If that time could be spent with you though…” You paused, nuzzling yourself in closer to his chest. “I wouldn’t mind too much. You don’t disturb my mental state at all. I miss you anyway.”

“Just another rough day then huh?” He hummed, shifting his hands under the blankets to gently caress your skin. “Those days always come eventually. It’s good you knew it was time for a break. Don’t feel bad for taking time to yourself, and don’t be ashamed to call on me. I’ll always show up whenever you need me, dear.”

“Mmnh, in that case please stay the night… I miss your voice, your touch, your presence… you are my remedy, Kento. You never fail to heal my soul when it is broken down.” You admitted, leaning into his touch. 

“I’d be more than happy to do so. There are no pressing matters in my life more important than you.” He said softly. “Would  some words of reassurance help?”

You nodded slowly, poorly hiding your face with some of the blankets. You were much easier to fluster right now in your emotionally weakened state, and you were always a puddle in the presence of Kento regardless of the circumstances. He just had that effect on you. His sweet and smooth manner of speaking wasn’t any help either, always drawing you in with how lovingly he spoke of you, and to you. 

“Mmm, in that case, I must remind you that no matter how harsh your thoughts may be towards yourself, remember that you are strong. You rarely falter, and I love that strength you always carry with you. I’m proud of how strong you are, and even more proud that you knew it was time for a break. Knowing when to stop is an important trait not many people possess.” He praised, gently stroking your back. 

“Lord… You always know just what to say. This is why I love you as much as I do.” You sighed, melting into his touch with hot cheeks. 

“What is ‘this’ reason, hmm? Is it because I always promise to be here for you, or do you just like the sound of my voice?” He chuckled, shifting to take a peek at your cheeks that he knew were painted pink. 

“... Both.” 

He couldn’t help but let out louder laughter, always amused by how infinitely adorable you were in his eyes. He leaned down and placed a kiss on your forehead, feeling the heat from your face. Even your heartbeat could be felt on his chest, which was a good sign that pointed towards you feeling much better than you were moments ago. 

“I can feel how warm you are, hun. May I assume that you’re feeling a little better now?” He asked. 

“Tch. Anyone would feel better if they also had a handsome man like yourself to come remind them of how well they’re doing. I feel more than just a little better, Kento.” You replied, lifting your head a little to look up at him. 

He had his own light dusting of blush now, still smiling warmly at you with love in his eyes. No matter how awful you felt, you always had something wonderful to say about him, even when he was in the middle of cheering you up. He pulled you closer yet again and changed your position so that you straddled him instead, not quite finished with his compliments. He really did want you to feel your best, which meant eliminating all traces of negative thoughts in your mind. A few extra compliments wouldn’t hurt.

“So, does that mean that if I tell  you how gorgeous and pretty you are, you’ll feel even better and forget all those bad thoughts?” He questioned. “Cause you are, and my pretty girl doesn’t deserve to have any stress at all. Not on the weekend. You need that time for being relaxed and beautiful effortlessly.”

“H-hey, you can’t just… make me feel better with a stream of compliments!” You argued, getting even more visibly flustered. 

Nanami snorted and lifted your chin with a free hand, pulling your face closer to his. “It seems to be working wonderfully though. You look incredibly adorable, you know that right~?” 

“Kento-! Mmm~”

He silenced you with the sweetest of kisses, gently drawing you in with his hand so he could cup your cheek. He was so tender and gentle that if you could physically become a puddle, you would have. All your weight dropped down on him, his other hand resting on the arch of your back while you took in as many needy kisses as you wanted. 

He was of course happy to provide, trailing his own kisses down your jaw and to your neck, causing you to finally let out a little giggle. That smile of yours was what he wanted to see from the get go, and he was happy to have finally drawn such a beautiful thing from you now. He halted his kisses for a moment so he could look at your face, enamored by the joy you emanated now.

“That’s the smile I wanted to see~” He hummed, returning his lips to yours before giving you a final one on the tip of your nose. “So cute…”

“It’s only because of you, Kento. I can help it when I’m with you. You’re just… ugh, you’re perfect.” You groaned, burying your warm face into his neck. 

“That’s my girl.” He praised. “I’m glad you’re doing better now.”

“You’re still staying, right?” You asked, mumbling into his neck. 

“Of course. I wouldn’t dream of leaving.”

“Good.”

And with that, Nanami rested a hand on the back of your head and held you lovingly, keeping you warm as your breathing and heart rate came down once again. You were calm, content, and feeling much, much better now.

author's note: hello lovelies! i am so excited to put out a piece that, as much as i love jojo's, is not jojo's. it is another fandom i have gotten a huge hyperfixation on once again, and that is the adventure zone which if you like d&d and have not listened to it, please do. it is simply amazing. now onto the writing! <3 i hope y'all enjoy reading this first part as much as i enjoyed writing it!

“i simply don’t understand why i’m the one who has to get married, lup could certainly be the one getting in an arranged marriage.” taako crossed his arms across his chest, his usual nonchalant attitude replaced by one of irritation now that he was the one forced to marry someone he didn't even know.

lup snickered, "do you not remember i'm with barry? or does that just conveniently slip your mind at the most perfect moments?" her twin had always kept his cool - but in this situation, it was understandable for him to be annoyed. “barry and i have been together for how many years now?”

“i have most certainly not forgotten, but i would like to know why you and barry cannot be arranged to marry.”

"barry isn't royalty, so it wouldn't benefit anyone. but your marriage to someone with some high status will definitely be beneficial to all of us, including you."

the twins had continued their bickering until their aunt intervened, "listen, you two, we have a reason for this. i need both of you to stop bickering so taako can get ready. today, he will meet his suitor... the raven queen requested a meeting between you and her son.”

‘her son?’ taako thought to himself, ‘she’s talking about kravitz.. they want me to marry him?’... “we’re polar opposites!” the last of his thoughts were being voiced out loud, “you want me to marry kravitz? he and i are nothing alike!”

"and why does that matter?" it gives you two more things to discuss, just wait. you're sure to fall in love with him after learning something about him." their aunt continued, but taako was only half paying attention.

an arranged marriage with the raven queen’s son? taako had never met kravitz, but heard stories about the men and women who were enamored with him. as far as taako was concerned, if just about everyone who had seen him thought he was attractive, he supposed that it was something that he could give a chance.

“where am i supposed to be meeting him at?”

“at the raven queen’s estate, of course. so please go put on your best attire, taako.”

“fine, i’ll go.” taako raced up the stairs with lup following behind, “why are you following me?”

“do you not want my help?” lup asked, crossing her arms over her chest as she stopped on the middle of the steps.

“oh i most certainly do.” taako laughed, stopping to look behind him, “you always know how to braid my hair just right.” he smiled softly as he continued up the stairs with lup following suit. he opened the door to his quarters, now sitting on the edge of his bed. “come on, i don’t have all day. i get to go meet my suitor,” he spoke the last part with a hint of sarcasm behind his voice, and it made the pair laugh.

“i don’t think it’ll be that bad,” lup started, now sitting behind taako and pulling his long blond hair back behind him into a braid, “if i’m being honest, he seems like your type.” lup giggled as she put the braid over taako’s shoulder, “as your twin, i am obligated to know your type in men, and kravitz seems to be just that.”

“and you would know that… why?”

“oh, because i’ve seen kravitz before.” lup, now laid back on taako’s bed, knew this was going to rile taako up.

“and you’re just telling me now?!” taako exclaimed, turning around to face lup, “what does he look like, lulu? come on, you can at least give me that, right?” he had a grasp on her shoulders, and she couldn’t help but laugh.

“he’s tall, dark, and handsome according to your standards.” lup snickered at taako’s instant change of attitude after she said those words. “but i’ve heard he’s very… quiet. he keeps to himself, and isn’t one to open up quickly.”

“are you trying to scare me away? i’m going to have to marry him if it’s what the raven queen wants, lup. i’d do anything so you wouldn’t have to give up your relationship with barry, and you know that.”

“yeah, but hearing you say it definitely makes me want to get teary still.” lup smiled with small tears forming in the corners of her eyes. taako was always going to do whatever it took to make lup happy, they were twins after all. if he had to be in an arranged marriage so lup could stay happy with barry, he was going to jump head first into it.

“oh lulu, don’t start crying. you don’t want to make me cry before my date, now do you?” taako laughed as he held back the few tears from seeing lup cry. “why don’t you distract yourself by helping me decide on a color to wear. and don’t say red. because red is one hundred and ten percent your color.”

“fine, if you won’t wear red… then, wear neutral colors with your purple cloak and hat. i know you’ll feel silly with your hat but-”

“i will not feel silly with my hat, you know it’s my favorite accessory.” taako took offense to lup’s comment about him feeling abnormal while wearing his rather large wizard hat to his date. kravitz had to have known who taako was, he and lup were constantly seen around town, and taako always wore his obnoxiously large hat and a cloak. see, both lup and taako were magic users and taako wanted to make sure everyone knew so they didn’t try and mess with him.

“sure, sure. but i feel like if you do the neutral shirt and pants, it won’t feel as obnoxious as if you tried to match everything to the purple.”

with the twins finally reaching an agreement on taako’s attire, he had gotten himself together and prepared for this date. it was something he was rather nervous about now that he thought about it. he walked down the stairs and let out a gentle sigh as he realized it was time for him to face his fears about meeting kravitz. it was time for him to go and meet with both the raven queen and kravitz, and he gave lup a hug before he made his way toward the door, “don’t do anything stupid until i get back.” he sounded like a parent scolding their child, which caused him to stifle back a laugh.

“how can i? you’re taking all the stupid with you.” lup crossed her arms over her chest, “i should be telling you to not do anything stupid or reckless around the raven queen or kravitz, you don’t want to start off on the wrong foot, do you?”

“no, now stop psyching me out.” taako grumbled lightly as he now walked out the door and toward the raven queen’s estate. he knocked on the door, and a gentleman in a suit answered.

“hello, how may i be of assistance?” the man asked, looking at taako as he stood there nervously.

“i’m… here to meet with the raven queen,” taako spoke, trying to keep his composure. “and with the prince.”

“oh, are you here about the arranged marriage? i will gladly show you the way to the raven queen. or, i could point you in the right direction if you would rather take a look around for the time being.”

“i suppose i could spend a minute or two looking around.” taako smiled gently as the man pointed him in the direction of the raven queen’s throne room, and taako followed the hallway down until he heard the sound of a piano. despite the frantic pace of the song itself, the pianist playing it had to be a real expert, someone who really knew what they were doing, since they played each key without missing a beat.

taako knew it to be beethoven’s ‘moonlight sonata - third movement’ from the sounds of it. a classic piece to learn, but a hard piece to master to the extent that this individual was playing at. he followed the sound down a hallway that was off course for the raven queen’s throne room, but not too far away to where he would get lost. as he peeked his head into the room to see who was playing such a beautiful piece so perfectly… it was a face he did not recognize, but could definitely have placed as kravitz. the description lup gave about him was simple yet described him perfectly. he leaned against the doorway as he still tried to keep his existence unknown to kravitz, who was laser focused in on playing on the piano. it wasn’t until taako started to lean a bit too much and lost his grip on the doorframe that he finally fell down.

kravitz’s hands that had been so peacefully playing beethoven now quickly banged on the keys out of habit as he had been startled. “who dares interrupt my piano practice?” he had an accent, a cockney accent to be exact.

taako grumbled as he tried his best to get up off the floor without grabbing onto anything. “i didn’t mean to disturb you. you just… sounded so beautiful playing and i couldn’t help but be enthralled. so i followed the sound of the piano and it led me here.”

“who are you and what are you doing in here?”

“i was supposed to be heading for the raven queen’s throne room when i got distracted by your piano playing skills,” taako explained, “my name is taako.”

“no last name there, is that right? just a first name?”

“yeah, i’m mononymous, what about you, hot shot? got a name you care to share?”

“it’s kravitz. nothing else. as for the last name, it isn't relevant, since it does not exist.”

hearing kravitz reveal himself made taako’s face turn a soft pink. this was who he was meant to marry? he couldn’t be mad when he looked this good. his dark hair pulled back into a sleek bun with an undercut, he was wearing a pair of gray pants, a white button-up, a black vest and a cloak. taako didn’t feel so out of place with his cloak now, as he saw kravitz wore one casually as well.

"well, kravitz, i don't know if you were informed, but we're destined to marry. actually, we're arranged to get married in the near future."

“arranged marriage? do you know why?”

“i haven’t the slightest idea. your mother requested me, and i couldn’t refuse.” taako smiled, leaning lightly against the piano as he looked down at kravitz, as he was still sitting on the piano bench.

“oh, because you’ve just got a long list of suitors and i was your top choice?”

“no, because i was afraid no one else would have me. and because if i wasn’t the one to have an arranged marriage, my twin would be parted from her soulmate. i would do anything to keep lup happy.”

“that was quite admirable of you, taako. you know that right?”

“well like i said, if i didn’t give this a chance, i would have ended up the town’s hermit wizard who keeps himself locked away in a tower or something.” taako slightly joked, but was also being semi-serious. he had no idea what would have happened had he not taken this ‘arranged marriage’ deal.

kravitz realized that taako was only mildly joking, and now closed the piano. he placed his elbows against the wooden cover that easily slid over the pieces, his fiery red eyes now meeting with taako’s icy blue ones. “you said you were here to speak to my mother, is that correct?”

“that is correct, she was the one who wanted to see me. and have me meet you, but it seems like we’ve got that part out of the way,” taako tried his best to stifle his laughter, but couldn’t help it as he let out a small laugh. “sorry, it’s just ironic that i was coming here to have your mother introduce us and i somehow ended up doing that part for her.”

“she’ll appreciate having less work to do in that department, i just know it,” kravitz finally decided it was time to get up from the bench and taako realized that kravitz was definitely taller than he was. probably by at least a few inches.

‘just tall enough where i can rest my head on his shoulder,’ taako thought to himself, but with the look on kravitz’s face, taako could have sworn kravitz read his mind. but taako also failed to realize that he had been staring at kravitz from the moment he stood up, which was why kravitz was giving him such a quizzitive look. in addition, taako had failed to realize that kravitz had extended his hand to him, not to romance him, but to be his guide without him getting distracted again and wandering off.

“come along, let's go meet the raven queen,” kravitz said in a soft voice, waiting patiently for taako to grab his hand. “i’m sure she’s going to love you.”

and with those words leaving kravitz’s mouth, taako had finally grabbed a hold of kravitz’s hand as he followed behind him. he was looking around at the scenery as they walked through the long hallway to the throne room, and he was amazed at how beautiful the interior was… not that he expected any less, but it was astonishing to see in person. “no wonder you’re pulling me along, it is really easy to get distracted by all of this gorgeous interior decor.” taako mumbled just loud enough for kravitz to hear.

when they finally made their way to the throne room, taako hadn’t noticed until he felt kravitz let go of his hand and glanced down to see him bowing. taako quickly caught on and bowed, “your highness, my most sincere apologies. i wandered off and simply couldn’t find my way back.” that was a lie, taako made sure he knew his way back to the main hallway that lead to the throne room. but something held him in the recital room where kravitz had been practicing. was it kravitz himself, or was it simply the atmosphere that was created between the beautiful music and kravitz’s irresistible charm? it didn’t matter, because here they both were, bowing before the raven queen. the pair had risen at the same time, as taako hadn’t been around true royalty in what felt like forever, so he was mirroring kravitz’s actions towards his mother.

“i see the two of you have already met. i have arranged an outing for the two of you, there is a pottery class that i believe might help the two of you get to know each other better.” the raven queen spoke, “it would not be my ideal choice, but i believe you both are… artistically inclined.” she added on before getting up from her throne. “it is later tonight, so you both have time to get yourselves prepared and changed into less fancy attire. i’m sure you wouldn’t want to ruin your clothes with clay.”

“of course not, your highness.” taako replied, his cheeks looked like they were stained with a tinge of pink as just the thought of going out with kravitz, in public, nonetheless, was a huge deal for the both of them. “and what time is this arrangement, so i can be properly prepared?”

“it is at six tonight, that gives you about,” she glanced up at the clock, calculating just about how much time was left between then and now, “three hours, which is a reasonable of time, wouldn’t you agree?”

just as taako was going to reply again, a familiar accented voice replied, “it’s plenty of time, mother. now if you would please let him go on his way so he can get ready, i would like to have a word with you in privacy. if it isn’t too much trouble.” kravitz had chimed into the conversation now, it had seemed that when he and taako were talking previously that he had dropped the accent at some point within their conversation before meeting with the raven queen, and had picked it up again while talking to her.

“of course, darling. it’s absolutely no trouble at all. taako, you may be dismissed. i am hoping to hear good things about tonight,” she smiled as she waved taako goodbye, and taako gave his goodbye bow and went on his way back home to tell lup about what had just happened.

“now what is it you wanted to talk about?”

“it was nothing particularly important, but i just wanted to tell you that i believe you may have made the right choice in my future husband. he seems rather nice,” kravitz had started to speak, but had been cut off midsentence by the raven queen.

“he’s not hard on the eyes, either. especially not by your standards, because i can see a little bit of red on your cheeks.”

“you cannot!” kravitz instinctively covered his cheeks, which had certainly confirmed his mother’s suspicion. she knew that she had made the right choice, but it was certainly going to take some time for the two to get acquainted. there would be plenty of time for that after they were wed, as they would have the rest of their lives to learn about one another.
