helloo! can u do sk8 the infinity boys with an s/o who's famous at S and also often gets alot of ppl confessing to them when they're at S? ty in advance and feel free to ignore! wishing that u have an amazing day or night ( ◜‿◝ )♡
Thank you so much for the ask! This request is so unique I love it! I apologize for the wait and I hope you have a good day/night! I added Miya but his is just people complimenting you a lot.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Prompt: sk8 the infinity boys with a popular s/o that constantly gets love confessions!
characters: Miya (platonic), Reki Kyan, Langa Hasegawa Cherry blossom/Kaoru Sakurayashiki, Joe/Kojiro Nanjo.
Type: Headcanons, fluff, angst if you squint.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Miya (platonic)
+ Miya and you had become friends after you beat him in a narrow race.
+ Miya challenged you because he had heard a bunch of buzz about someone his age completely destroying numerous adults at S.
+He quickly got along with you and even began to hang out outside of S.
+ Tonight was like any other night, after you won your race Miya was there waiting for you at the finish line.
+ He congratulated you and began some small talk
+ Some guy that seemed about 2 years older than you approached the two of you.
+"Hey there love, You were amazing tonight!" The man interrupted Miya with a smug grin. This action obviously irritated Miya but the man ignored this.
+ "Thank you? But could you apoli-" You tried to convince the man to apologize to Miya but you were also interrupted.
+ "would you like to hang out sometime? I'm a big fan of yours." The man slung an arm around your shoulder.
+WHile this sort of thing happened often normally they didn't touch you, and that's when Miya got really pissed off.
+You tensed as Miya began to verbally insult the man.
+ The man began to slide his arm down your back and that's when he crossed the line.
+ You swung your elbow straight into his face and both a crack and a scream echoed through S as the man clutched his nose.
+ Miya looked at you with shock for barely a second before he began to laugh and pull you by your hand out of S.
+ Through his laughs he was able to say, "It's a good thing you handled that cause I would've done fae worse to the asshole!"
Reki Kyan
+ after Reki had seen you skate he was really inspired.
+Reki had probably become your biggest fan by the time he actually met you.
+You quickly became good friends and you both began to hang out and race often.
+ Reki was often envious of your skating fame but he never really told you this.
+ It was right before a match and Reki had been wishing you good luck when a 17-year-old male had walked up to you.
+ The man waited for Reki to finish before poking you on the shoulder twice.
+ You turned as the man bowed and quickly stuttered "W-will you go out with m-me? I'm a-a big fan!"
+by the time you got over the initial shock, you looked over to see Reki staring at the ground.
+ "I'm sorry... but I don't think I'm prepared to date!" You replied to the man with a gentle smile and he squeaked and ran away.
+" You sure do have a lot of fans..." Rekis voice was laced in sadness as he looked back up at you.
+"You'll always be my best fan." You grinned back at him and continued to get ready for your race.
+ "I will, always." Reki quickly cheered up after hearing your words and he grinned his signature grin that lit up the room.
Langa Hasegawa
+ Langa had heard of you through one of Rekis rambles about popular skaters.
+ Reki praised you so much so Langa was very thrilled to actually meet you.
+Langa asked many questions and that led to the both of you exchanging numbers which led to then becoming good friends.
+Langa was also quite popular but he was still quite shocked to witness your constant spontaneous love confessions.
+ You and Langa were just chilling at a skate park and you had both stopped to take a small break.
+ Suddenly a boy just a few years older than you appeared in front of you.
+"I skate at S and I would be please if you would accompany me on a date." He said this in the most monotoned voice ever, like it was no big deal.
+ Langa almost broke his neck with how fast he swerved his neck to look at you.
+ "No thank you, I'm not interested in the moment, please leave me to rest." You responded on reflex
+ The man looked disappointed for just a small moment before leaving you and Langa.
+"What was that?" Langa was clearly confused.
+ "Don't worry about it, it's pretty regular actually." You brushed off his concern but, Langa still couldn't quite understand what had just happened.
Kaoru Sakurayashiki/ Cherry blossom
+ Honestly, he gets confessions on about, a daily basis.
+He wouldn't be surprised with your fame level if you fo them as well
+ You and him were watching a very interesting race together.
+ You had just been listening to Kaoru's complaints when you felt someone looking at you.
+You turn to see who this could be and you find that there's a young man sitting next to you staring at you.
+ While Kaoru is still talking you ask the man to your right, "Is everything ok sir?"
+Kaoru doesn't notice the interaction that is occurring until the man replies "Wanna go out for coffee sometime?" and with a seductive smirk, he grabs your hand gently.
+ Before you could tell him to leave you alone kaoru stood up and punched the man straight in his face.
+ "you shouldn't touch someone without their permission." The man glared at Cherry before leaving.
+Cherry will only get angry if someone touches you without your permission.''
+ If someone confesses to you or asks you out politely then he'll let you turn them down.
Kojiro Nanjo/joe
+He would literally find it so funny that anyone could confess to you even though he makes it obvious he's your biggest fan.
+ Joe would more than likely ignore any confession that occurs when he's near.
+ He's basically the exact same type as cherry blossom in the type that he won't step into the situation unless they cross your boundaries or make you uncomfortable.
+ Also when you are around Joe everyone kinda stays away because Joe can be a little intimidating.
+ Joe and you were hanging out near a wall at S and he had dismissed himself to take a phone call.
+"Hey there cutie. I'm a big fan of yours." A man appeared just a little after Joe had left your side.
+You automatically didn't like this guy much but you didn't feel like causing a commotion so you didn't take action just yet.
+ "Since I'm your biggest fan.. how bout' we go on a date sweetie." As soon as those words came out of his mouth you heard a booming chuckle behind you.
+ The laugh was choppy so Joe was able to spare the man a " Sorry man not interested they got someone way better here."
+ The man looked at Joe in horror and quickly ran off.

I'm not sure if this is specific enough or if you've done a similar list already, but do you have any games with a similar vibe to Jet Set Radio? Mainly, I'm imagining a fun rebellion or youthful counterculture sort of energy. Thanks!
THEME: Jet Set Radio
Hello friend, so these are the three touchstones I used as criteria when looking for matches for this request:  
Lighthearted Rebellion
Youthful Counterculture
Free Speech and Creativity
I hope you find some fun options!

Kids on Hoverboards, by kandi_jeanne.
The year is 2030 and the world is very technologically advanced. Hoverboards have finally been invented (a little later than Back to the Future predicted). All the kids have them! Hover cars are becoming more popular. No one carries cell phones anymore. Everyone has a band on their wrist that brings up a virtual display. There are teleports, but only some people have them. 
This is hack for Kids on Bikes/Brooms for a GM plus at least one player. All the rules from the KOB systems are used in addition to a few found in this adventure hack. 
The Kids on Bikes system is great for kids working through mysteries and solving problems, and this book takes that system and puts it in a futuristic world.  It might not match Jet Set Radio exactly, but the rumours and mysteries of a futuristic world might work well for dealing with overbearing corporations - a pair of rollerblades and a can of paint is something a kid can easily get their hands on, and if you want to age up your characters a little, this system handles such tweaks pretty well!
The biggest downside to this option is that it requires the Kids on Bikes Rulebook to play, and it seems designed for a very specific adventure hook. However it’s free, so it’s worth picking up for inspiration if nothing else!
360 Heartgrab, by kumada1.
You've just crested the top of the hill and your body is pure momentum. Cracked asphalt rockets away beneath you, the scrolling stone moving in time to the rattling of the wheels on your board. Ahead of you, at the bottom of the hill, is the banner. The end of the race. And between you and that banner is the seagull-headed man you've been feuding with for weeks.
His wild eyes roll back to look at you for a moment, and then his mouth unhinges in a feral scream of triumph. Sunshine City's been getting weird lately, but you don't let this shake you. Between you and the gullman is a parked landscaping truck. Two-by-fours dangle off of the back, onto the street, forming a natural ramp if you have courage enough to try and skate it.
And you have courage enough.
360 Heartgrab is a 28 page tabletop roleplaying game about weird skaters shredding asphalt, going on adventures, and growing to care about each other.
It is heavily influenced by Sk8 The Infinity and Golden Sky Stories, and it is both competitive and diceless.
This is a very recent release, by a creator who consistently releases games that grab my attention. Compared to Jet Set Radio it’s less anti-authoritarian and a bit more weird, but its goal is to provide the same rush of adrenaline as you hurdle down ramps and over obstacles. If you like diceless games that push your characters to great feats, you might want to check out this game - and if you want to put in a bit more magic, you can also check out the Zone Magic add-on, written by the same author!
The Color of Everything, by Happy Jak Games.
Welcome to the world of Chromia, where colors are more vibrant, music more pure, and everyone lives to create something wonderful. Artists work together in their specialty every day to make the world a better place. Here Illustrators can blast out color with a swish of their paint brush. Animators can bring every day objects to life. Musicians write and play music to bring happiness to everyone.
It was a wonderful world until the DeSats invaded, led by the twisted Discordant who wanted everything for themselves. They sent out their twisted Shades to drain color. Dissonants slipped into the sounds of the world to corrupt their harmony, while Hammer-Heads bashed the hard work of the Sculptors.
Discordant and their DeSats struck fast and hard, toppling major cities across the world. All seemed lost, until the teenagers of IntenCity rose up to fight back. You are a group of those teens, banding together to weave your skills together and bring color, music, and life back to the world and bring down Discordant and their DeSats.
If what you really want to focus on is the artistic creativity and the freedom of expression in Jet Set Radio, you could pick up The Colour of Everything and add in rollerblades. The Confidence and Resolve attributes could potentially serve as base stats for rollerblading, and you might want to add on a new Medium of painting or tagging to really fill it out. The game comes with some example antagonists along with lore and stats, but the entire game is only about 5 pages long. Worth checking out!!!
Slugblaster, by Mikey Hamm.
In the small town of Hillview, teenage hoverboarders sneak into other dimensions to explore, film tricks, go viral, and get away from the problems at home. It’s dangerous. It’s stupid. It’s got parent groups in a panic. And it’s the coolest thing ever.
This is Slugblaster. A table-top rpg about teenagehood, giant bugs, circuit-bent rayguns, and trying to be cool.
Honestly I feel like Slugblaster has the most potential to really knock it out of the park when it comes to matching the feel of Jet Set Radio. On the tin, it looks like a skateboarding kind of game but everything is modd-able and switching out your skateboards for rollerblades is the easiest thing to do. When it comes who who you’re rebelling against, there’s three or four authorities in the book, and room to write even more! The game is about jumping through portals, away from your dull small town, but there’s also a great list of options of places other than Hillview, written by various authors around the world, as well as tips on how to hack the game in case the multiverse isn’t your jam.

Fic Stats Tag Game
Rules: Give us the links to your fic with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most words, and fic with the least words.
Thanks for the tag @likelightinglass (x) and @danpuff-ao3 (x).
I'll be using my emeraldlove account for this stats game.
🌻 Most Hits
Colours [Harry Potter, Snarry, E]
Severus follows the new Hogwarts professor into the Forbidden Forest one night.
My inspiration for this fic is Matthew Macfadyen's lovestruck expression in Pride & Prejudice (2005). I wanted a smitten Severus Snape, and god damn, I'll write it! lol
🌻 Second Most Kudos
Same as my most hits fic!
🌻 Third Most Comments
Warmth [Harry Potter, Snarry, G]
"Severus," said Severus after a moment, forcing himself to speak his name for Harry to say. It was only a name, he reasoned, deciding to take a small step across the line he had drawn between himself and Harry. "Severus," repeated Harry. His grin widened. "A strong name." "And yours is as common as a daisy." Harry laughed, bringing warmth to Severus's chest. "I hope not. I want to be the only Harry you know in your life." Severus takes refuge during a downpour at his favourite coffee shop.
Coffeeshop AUs! A trope I'll never stop writing, no matter if it's the same ship 1000000 times over.
🌻 Fourth Most Bookmarks
(via public bookmarks) The Pocket Watch [Fantastic Beasts, Gramander, G]
The Niffler is running about stealing things again. At least this time he brings together Graves and Newt.
Gramander!!!! My first HP slash ship and what got me back into the HP fandom. (Even if I see Fantastic Beasts as its own separate fandom lol)
(via private bookmarks) Sandalwood [Harry Potter, Snarry, M]
"Severus Snape is a Veela," said Hermione, one December day a few years after the Dark Lord's fall.
Written for Harry Potter Fanfiction Club Holiday Bingo event! It was fun trying to get blackout.
🌻 Fifth Most Words
Leave the Light on for Me [SK8 the Infinity, Loveblossom, E]
"Boring," said Ainosuke, gliding over to Langa. He tilted Langa's chin up so their gaze could meet. "Skating is about winning, taking your opponents in your hands and crushing them." Langa's eyebrows furrowed. "Who will meet you at the finish line?" There was only one person who ever met Ainosuke at the finish line, but he hadn't seen him in years. Young Ainosuke Shindo meets a strange man one evening after his mother died. Kitsune AU.
For Cherry Blossom Reverse Bang! 🌸🌸🌸 Check out the amazing art! It is gorgeous!
🌻 Least Words
Ummmmm. This is a tad difficult, since I have 42 100-words drabbles. I think I'll link my Snirius & Snarry Microfic works instead, since each chapter is a 50 words microfic written for Microfic May. Each chapter is its own story. Mind the tags.
Tagging: @maraudersaffair @yletylyf @serenaew @somnwritessometimes @ashariewrites @broomsticks (no pressure!)

for the ask game, perhaps N? and/or P?
Ask me stuff
This took so long to answer! I’m so sorry for the wait. And the links. And the tangent. Aahsbhdb
N – Name three things you wish you saw more of in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice):
This is tricky! I tend to just be like “Augh I wish there was more of that” and then forget all about it. I guess I’ll try thinking of things in the fandom and not in the canon material? Hm – tricky.
Black Butler fandom – I want more aroace William, or at least ace William, representation. I don’t want him shipped with Grelle, I want them being BFFs. *Pointing with judgement* Let them crack open a bottle of wine and/or whiskey by the fire after work and talk about nice, idle things, like their sonboy Ronald (who’s pawing at the babygate like the sad goldendoodle he is because he wasn’t allowed in due to his alcoholism).
Black Butler canon/fandom – I want Snake to speak for himself. Like, either in fanfiction or — more preferably — canon, where he at last breaks and, against the opinions of his snakes, goes “Fuck you, Ciel!” and then full stop. No “says Emily” or “exclaims Oscar”. Nothing. It’s meaningful. Poignant. You can tell that Snake is really hurt about having his found family lie to him so easily, to be betrayed by his second family after losing his first. This is Snake, even if it’s just for a moment, talking for himself. Poor Snake :(
Black Butler fandom – I want more creepypastas / grimdarks / etc.. Plain and simple, it’s meant to be a dark, perhaps horrific at times, franchise and so where are the creepy one shots? The “The Woman In Black” parodies? The subtly dark pieces where Ciel is stuck in an endless game of fleshy marionette for Sebastian’s own amusement? Where?
Bonus:
Sk8 the Infinity fandom/canon – I want more Adam-facing-consequences fics (and hopefully canon content in the upcoming season two), and Tadashi and Miya interaction, because those two look related and hardly interact in canon. I’ve only ever come across one (platonic) fic of them on AO3. One.
P – Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas):
Oh, this is tricky! I don’t think I think of many AUs? At the very least they’re fleeting and / for one shot purposes as opposed to a full-fledged universe? (Alternatively there’s also an idea I had of making a book of rarepair scraplets vaguely set in the same universe for the reader to piece together, like a one shot where Soma, Lizzie and Sieglinde are paired together “trying to get back to ‘x’” and Soma has to carry Sieglinde because her spider legs are broken and Wolfram is nowhere to be found.)
So seeing as you told me about your Snake/Edward / Sieglinde/Lizzie Friendship is Tragic-esque AU I’ll go ahead and state my Fallout Equestria-type one (why did I need brony comparisons for that?) that was kind of eluded to in this post (which is also kind of inspired by this post and its reblogs).
So in the post it was inspired by, I discussed if “shinigami and grim reapers” were different, and that “shinigami” were like “the original grim reapers” (don’t think of them like those things from Death Dote, but rather like The Exterminators from Hazbin) and that the redemption that the reapers work towards is actually fake, just a rumour used to keep them in line and then used as the excuse when reapers go “missing” (aka. the “Higher Up”, so to call them, of the original shinigami and/or older reapers that are in-the-know) to make way for newer reapers when Ole McLimboville becomes overcrowded (which it will as time progresses from the canon’s 1889 into modern day, as per real life suicide stats).
With my theory preluded, the AU would start off with Will’s “promotion/redemption” (#2 from (x)) (as it is known outwardly by the other reapers), but as the numbers begin to spike, a purge starts by the Higher Up / shinigami and Grelle and Ronald make it out after Grelle’s seen Othello die protecting her (a point which will later be paralleled when Grelle then does so for Ron), and go looking for the Undertaker, in case he knows what’s going on (after all, he and Othello are the same age-ish and Othello told them to find him).
I’d also thought about a possible, background Grelltaker flirtation, but that point can be ignored for now. I think if this is the case then Undertaker dies in front of Grelle rather than Othello, who, in this case, she just knows died? Also an point where Ron and Grelle begrudgingly take r!Ciel along with them (if he’s still alive / existing … he can be written out easily, though, I just remember him being a part of my original rough idea), and then it’s later just Ron looking after him after he and Grelle are separated (I’m still unsure whether a fakeout death is in order, or too cheesy to be worked into the plot well enough).
Essentially, it’s just Ronald then — as per his and Grelle’s plan after talking with the Undertaker — looking for a means to summon a demon (whether this will be Sebastian or not is undecided, though is the most likely because… why would I make an OC for something that isn’t TSoGtR? Really, now.) as to try and get an equal footing in the fight against the original shinigami (and the reapers in allegiance with them as part of the Higher Up’s council… as guides to the to-be ‘redeemed’, or even some of the redeemed themselves).
Perhaps there’s also a twisted element from the Higher Up like “You’re finally getting what you came here for/what you wanted, and yet you still fight it?”, when — on the reapers’ side of things — it’s actually because they want to avenge their friends for dying in massacre, so dishonourably (in some cases), and that they know that if they lose / give up, this will only go on and on, until it eventually happens again.
It’s an AU I definitely haven’t thought of in a while 😅 so trying to remember the better half of it was a bit of a struggle, but I enjoyed doing it! It’s a fun idea that I hope to revisit (though most probably will not, as I suck at action scenes / sequences / drama, so it would most likely turn out slow, and corny when it picks up pace, with plenty of emotional moments and monologues but not enough action/fighting).
Thanks for the ask! I enjoyed replying to it (though it took me, like, an hour to, by god).

Tagged by @enbyboiwonder (rather, i saw their open invitation and tagged myself)
Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous.
Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have WIPs. (You can make your own post or reblog this one!)
i have... a lot of concepts that i, at some point in time, thought interesting. some are quite recent, while others have been on the back-burner for YEARS (like, more than a decade ago). the list of my WiPs are under the cut, sorted by fandom/category (such as original writing and tabletop rpg projects) in alphabetical order.
some of them i have absolutely no intention to resume working on, but for the others... who knows? maybe inspiration will strike outta the blue—i did recently finish up a fic for a fandom that i thought i’ve left for good...
tagging: @obstinaterixatrix, @dork-empress​, @dragonomatopoeia, @den-liner and anyone else who wants to do it, consider yourselves tagged—i’m always interested in hearing about the creative projects of other folks! (also, no pressure if you’d rather not participate)

🛒💋🍦❌🎃
Seek!!❤️ I love to talk so this got out of hand lol, thank u for the asks!
—————
🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.
Ok so, I’ve noticed that I write about stars a lot??? And things relating to icarus. The characters I write about always end up becoming intertwined with those two things. I’ll use Allison as an example but Kaeya (from Genshin Impact) is another one. Allison was a superstar who had a perfect life on paper, only to have it all fall apart in a very short amount of time. She flew too close to the sun!! She was forced to face all of the ugly parts of herself and actively worked to be better.
Aside from that, there’s also grief. Most of my TUA fics are about grief in all its forms, Allison mourns for her daughter, her past relationships, the person she could’ve been, etc. That’s one of the main themes of the kalopsia series (my beloved). And it’s not that no one else is out here writing about Allison, but it’s not pretentious to point out that I’m one of the only writers out here who’s actively writing about her post-S3. She’s a really tragic, beautiful character and I’ll take any chance I have to explore her experience with grief
💋 First kiss fics. Love em or hate em?
It depends! There’s certain fandoms/dynamics that I wouldn’t read first kiss fics for (like The Umbrella Academy), but I like them!! I’ve written them! I think I’m just too picky for my own good, but I need a little…more than a first kiss, yknow? I like it when there’s more layers to it, and it’s usually what leads UP to the first kiss that I fall in love with. The pining. The slow buildup. If it’s well executed and really caters to my tastes I’ll eat it UP
🍦 What's the sweetest fic you've created so far?
I think either one of my Sk8 the Infinity fics??? I haven’t gone back to reread them since I wrote them but they’re so sweet I can’t even believe it lmao
❌ What's a trope you will never write?
I try to never say never about most things. A lot of it comes down to execution and maybe I just haven’t found the right fics yet. That being said, I do NOT like love triangles, arranged marriages or high school AU’s. I have a lot of strong feelings about everything idk! If I ever write any of those it’ll just be as a little experiments for myself
🎃 Do you write fics for certain holidays? Which is your favorite holiday inspired fic?
I’d love to write a holiday fic one day! I’m a Halloween girlie so who knows!! Maybe I’ll try writing something spooky if I ever get a good idea :D

No. Kojiro can’t think about Adam right now. I’ll deal with him when— if— I need to.
Kojiro pulls away to speak directly to Kaoru again. “You’re gonna wake up, Four-Eyes,” he rasps and breathes a humorless laugh. “You’re gonna wake up, and I’m gonna be right there, and I’m gonna tell you…”
I love you.
“You’re gonna get better, and I’m gonna take you back to Italy, and that restaurant you were wrong about, and I’m gonna tell you…”
I never once stopped loving you.

MatchaBlossom as Gods AU Fic
This is a short fic inspired by (& with permission from ^.^)  @shaky-mayhemm ‘s beautiful art piece - Sk8 the Infinity MatchaBlossom God AU (← click here to see it - it’s amazing!) 
_____
Kaoru had always known, once he had discarded the two of them, that things would end with him and Kojiro against Ainosuke. Even when they were children, just beginning to learn their places in the world, they had made an... odd trio, to say the least.  
Kojiro, the God of Earth, Kaoru, the God of Life, and Ainosuke, the God of Destruction. 
No one had been surprised when, as just babes, Kojiro and Kaoru had latched onto one another, forming an unbreakable friendship. 
No one however, had expected for them to welcome Ainosuke into their friendship as well, especially not while they were still in their formative years, as they were still learning to curb their godly instincts… not that Ainosuke ever really did learn how to. 
Kojiro called it a mistake. Kauro wasn’t sure what to call it himself. 
He only knew that his petty nature made it so he refused to let what Ainosuke had done to him and Kojiro go and that his loneliness made him want to forgive Ainosuke and welcome him home, if only he would change his ways.
That of course, would not happen, Kauro knew that. He did. 
Ainosuke would probably laugh if he ever learned what he was doing to Kaoru. Tearing him apart from the inside out. Not that Kaoru would ever let him know that, but still, life must go on... Kaoru, of all beings, would know.
___
Every year there was a major festival held in the honor of the Gods. During said festival, humans would present themselves in hopes of being chosen to be one of the God’s disciples. They would spend a year in service to them and receive one wish at the end - or for the lucky few, get to stay in their chosen God’s service and remain in the Heavens. 
Kojiro always chose beautiful women and men that he would flirt with but never touch while they were in his service. He also never kept any longer than a year. 
Kaoru on the other hand rarely chose any one, instead leaving most of his protection and service to Carla, a being he had brought to life out of the wind. 
While he would never admit to it, he had created her due to Kojiro’s many absences as the God would often leave the Heavens to learn how to cook new foods under human masters of the craft. 
Kaoru would always be his first stop every time he returned home, becoming his taste taster of whatever he had just learned to make and while he loved Kojiro’s cooking, the taste of his creations never fully alleviated the sting of being alone while he was away. 
Ainosuke, on the other hand, would take disciples and he would break them. Only one of them had survived past a year and had chosen to stay with him, a man named Tadashi.
Tadashi may have chosen to stay with Ainosuke, but Ainosuke had still broken the man. Kaoru could feel it when he looked at the man, who still breathed, but  was no longer full of life. 
Seeing it… distressed him. 
Which is why he was on the way to visit Kojiro. 
Cara had overheard and informed him of Ainosuke’s next choice in disciple. 
A young boy named Miya who would be turning thirteen right before the festival began, the minimum age required to offer oneself as a disciple. 
Kauro refused to allow Ainosuke to break a child.
Kaoru threw open Kojiro’s door without knocking.
“Hey!” 
“We have a problem.”
___
The day of the festival came quickly, too quickly as far as Kaoru was concerned. 
He was dressed up in finery that had been gifted to him by humans who worshiped him, other Gods, and of course a special piece provided to him by Kojiro, that he wore every festival day. 
He, with Carla by his side, traveled to the large podium where he and the other Gods would stay during the beginning of the festival, as humans sang praises and provided gifts to the Gods. 
He felt Kojiro’s presence before he saw him. 
Carla stepped back, not currently needed as Kojiro approached.  
Kojiro leaned over the balcony. 
The other God began to observe the crowd of humans below. Some were trying to impress the Gods in rather… interesting ways. 
“Humans used to be a lot smarter. Now, they’re all dumb. What happened?” 
Kaoru turned slightly so Kojiro couldn’t see his lips twitch as he answered, “Well, I can say assuredly that their intelligence level went down significantly when they began worshiping the God of Earth more.” 
Kojiro hummed in agreement, “Yea…” Then what Kaoru had said caught up with him, “Hey!” 
Kaoru snickered and Kojiro hip-bumped him, laughing as the God of Life almost fell from the force of it, turning to face him fully for the first time  that night. 
“You…  look…” 
“Save it.” Kaoru tried to cut him off but Kojiro instead slipped behind him, wrapped his arms around his waist and whispered in his ear. “As I was saying, you look absolutely stunning tonight.”  
Kaoru scoffed as Kojiro took his hand and brought it to his lips. 
“And I see you’re wearing the ring I got you.” He said as he dipped to also kiss the ring on Kaoru’s hand. As if Kaoru hadn’t worn it every year since Kojiro had given it to him. 
Kaoru yanked his hand away. “We don’t have time for your nonsense”, He hissed.
Kojiro smiled, understanding of Kaoru’s anxiety. 
“It’ll be fine, we have a plan, we’ll protect the kid, I promise.”
“You can’t promise me that. Ainosuke is clever and cruel and he doesn’t like not getting his way.” 
“Kaoru, no one stands a chance when we work together. Trust me, trust the plan, we will succeed.”
Kaoru sighed and leaned into Kojiro’s embrace. 
“I hope you’re right.” 
Kojiro squeezed him tighter and with convection said, “I know I am.”
And, at least for that moment, Kaoru believed him.
(I have more in my head so I’ll probably add to it later - I hope you enjoyed!)
Here’s pt 2!

Tumblr media
"Can you come with me?"
You frown when you hear Shotaro's voice, and when you turn your head, you find him in the doorframe, his arms crossed against his chest. Shotaro doesn't live here, and last you heard he didn't have a spare key to enter your apartment.
"I want to ask you how you got in, but I'm not sure I want to hear your answer," you mumble as you get up from your desk chair, stretching your arms above your head. "and why do you want me to come? It's your first day on the job, you don't need a chaperone."
He pouts, letting his arms fall to his sides. "I am stressed, this is my first job!" he says, like it's obvious, and you roll your eyes. "Please?"
"If I come, you better pay for the pizza for the next movie night, okay?" he nods, suddenly regaining his smile, and you grab your jacket. "If your boss, or your coworkers laugh at you because you needed me, I don't want to hear you complain."
"Do you think they're going to laugh at me?" he asks in a small voice, and you heave a sigh, you should have turned your tongue seven times in your mouth before speaking.
"If they laugh at you, it'll be my job, as your best friend, to beat them up, okay?" he laughs softly, and you push him out of the doorframe to exit your room. "Okay, I really need to know, how did you get into the apartment?"
He shrugs his shoulders. "You didn't close the balcony door, so I walked in through there." you found another reason to look for a new apartment.
"Come on, let's go or you'll be late." you put on your shoes, and you leave the apartment after taking the time to close the balcony door, you don't want a stranger to suddenly want to visit your apartment after seeing Shotaro do it.
Shotaro retrieves his skateboard outside the apartment complex, and also his backpack that he left in plain sight. "You have to stop trusting everyone, Shotaro, someday someone is going to steal your things."
"You live in the most peaceful and secure part of town, I have nothing to fear." that's what he believes.
The shop where Shotaro was hired is only ten minutes from your apartment, and when you approach it, you stop walking, thrusting your hands into the pockets of your jacket. "Can you go on your own, or do I have to go inside with you?"
He lowers his head, and he plays with the hem of his sweatshirt. "Can you come in with me, and pretend you want to buy something, so I don't look silly?"
If you knew this is the way your day would be, you wouldn't have asked your boss to give you a day off. Having to deal with unpleasant customers is certainly better than having to pretend to buy something from a store where nothing interests you.
"It's going to cost you a lot Shotaro, and it's only for today, okay?" he nods, and he walks over to the bay window.
"You don't have to be afraid, there is no one in the shop." it's true, on the other side of the glass, you can't see anyone. Which is no wonder, even though the store opened over six years ago, the customers aren't regular, so you wonder how it stays open.
You push open the door, and a doorbell rings, and your gaze lands on the counter almost immediately. "Hello?" a young man has his arms resting on the counter, and his face nestled in between. His breathing is slow and regular. He is sleeping.
Shotaro closes the door behind him, and walks over to the counter. "Excuse me?" he asks in a small voice, and when the man doesn't react, he gently pushes his shoulder. "Excuse me? I'm Shotaro, I'm the new employee."
"What is happening?" the young man asks in a hoarse voice full of sleep, raising his head. He rubs his eyes, yawning at length. "Can I help you?"
Shotaro is moving from leg to leg, clearly nervous. "I am Shotaro, I just got hired."
The young man gets up from his stool which scrapes against the tiles, and he shakes Shotaro's hand. "Oh yeah, the boss told me he found someone else. But from what you can see, we don't really have any clients today, so I don't know what I'm going to do with you."
Shotaro takes a deep breath, and he straightens up a bit. He wants to be confident in front of his colleague. "I can do the cleaning, whatever you don't want to do, I love skateboarding, so being here is enough, even if I'm not doing anything." he basically says he doesn't mind being paid for doing nothing. Understandable.
From where you stand, a little back, you can see the shadow of a smile on the young man's face. "Do you skate?" Shotaro nods. "I was afraid the boss hired someone who didn't know anything about skateboards, so welcome, I'm Sicheng!"
"Pleased to meet you." Shotaro says, and Sicheng finally seems to notice your presence, since you meet his gaze.
"Do you need anything?"
You open your mouth, but no sound comes out, luckily, Shotaro comes to your aid. "I was a little afraid to come, so I asked her to come with me." Sicheng hums, but he doesn't comment.
"You want to stay?" he asks you, and you shrug your shoulders.
"Yeah."
And that's how you started to spend your days off, and your weekends in the skateboard shop.
When you see Shotaro talking with clients, advise them about a skateboard, you tell yourself that he was born to do that, he is a natural. You can't remember the last time you saw him smile so much, and you wonder if his jaw hurts at the end of the day. You like to see your best friend like this.
As for Sicheng, he is interesting.
There are days when he barely speaks, when he answers your questions with grunts that make you laugh, and there are days when it's impossible to silence him. He's nice, he's caring with Shotaro, he always makes sure he feels good and comfortable with a client. And he doesn't hesitate to kick some of them out for asking silly questions.
You still don't know much about skateboarding, but you could spend hours watching Sicheng build a skateboard from start to finish.
A bit like today.
You are sitting on a wooden table where skateboard wheels are strewn about, sketches of boards are balled up on the floor, and on the shelves, and Sicheng is leaning over a workbench, figuring out why the board's wheels stop rolling.
"The wheels are round, they shouldn't stop rolling, don't you think so?" you ask by grabbing one of the sketches that you smooth out. It's an extravagant model, and you remember the client who asked for it. Red hair, red nail polish, the tattoo of a rose, and a bright smile.
"Do you think I don't know?" he mumbles, and you laugh softly, it's so easy to annoy him when he is working. Maybe that's the only reason you don't get bored to death when you're locked in the back room with him.
And to be honest, he is not ugly to look at.
"Maybe there's gravel stuck in the bearings?"
Sicheng sits up, and he turns to you with a frown. "How do you know about the bearings?"
You stick your tongue out. "I listen to you when you speak, Sicheng."
He smiles softly, and goes back to his work. Out of the corner of your eye, you see him picking up some sort of toothbrush to clean between the bearings, and as you predicted, some gravel falls on the workbench. "See? I should be paid for this."
"We have five clients a month, do you really think I can give you money for a simple advice?" he asks with a sigh, and you shrug your shoulders.
"The shop is still open, so your boss has enough money for that, and to pay you and Shotaro."
"I can pay you in gratitude, if you want." you chuckle, it is not with gratitude that you are going to pay your rent, but you accept. Next time you won't give him advice.
"I wanted to ask you, are you and Shotaro free tonight?" he asks, sitting down on the workbench before taking the board on his lap to spin the wheels.
"I am free, and as far as Shotaro is concerned, I have no idea." you answer by tilting your head. "Why?"
"You don't live together?" he narrows his eyes.
"No? Why would I be living with him?"
Sicheng is biting his lower lip, but rather than answering your current question, he prefers to answer your previous one. "I'm participating in a race tonight, and I trust you enough to get you there now."
"What does trust have to do with a race?" you ask. "Is this an illegal race?"
Sicheng is watching you like it's the most obvious thing. "Duh! Have you ever heard of skateboard races?" you shake your head. "They're organized by a rich man who we don't know anything about except his nickname. There's nothing to win, but it's fun to go there. You can meet some pretty cool people."
"I'll come, if I don't risk ending up in jail." Sicheng laughs, swinging his head back, but he bumps into the wall, which makes you laugh heartily. "How do you stand on a skateboard if you bump into a wall so easily?"
This time it's his turn to stick your tongue out. "I'll ask Shotaro."
You get off the table, and you go back to the shop where Shotaro is. He's sitting on the counter, watching a documentary about Tony Hawk on the television. "I see you are working very hard, it's nice to see."
He jumps, but he smiles when his gaze meets yours. "There's nothing to do, and Sicheng doesn't like me to be in the back of the store when he's working." and he is right, because Shotaro asks so many questions that Sicheng has trouble concentrating. The last time he cut his palm deep enough that you had to drive him to the emergency room for stitches.
"Sicheng asked if we would like to accompany him to a race tonight." you say, and Shotaro pauses the documentary.
"A skate race?" you nod your head. "Oh my god yes!"
You roll your eyes, Shotaro is adorable when he's excited, because he almost vibrates. "It's illegal, so we risk ending up in jail, don't smile too much."
"Watching an illegal race, and ending up in jail? That would take two things off my list of things to do before I die."
"See, the kid knows how to live!" you hear the back door shut behind Sicheng, and he rests his chin on your shoulder. "You'll see, we'll have fun!"
The way to the start line of the race is an adventure in itself. The car cannot drive on the steep road, and anyway, it is too crowded for you to be able to drive without taking the risk of running over someone.
"Do you do this regularly?" you ask, taking a deep breath, to avoid showing Sicheng that you are out of breath and that you regret having accepted his invitation.
Shotaro on the other hand looks like a child in a Christmas village. He looks at everything with wide, interested eyes, and a blinding smile. If you could, you would pinch his cheeks.
"Every weekend, sometimes twice a week, it depends on the organizer." he responds by shrugging his shoulders, tightening his fingers on the edge of his skateboard so that his knuckles turn white.
"And have you ever met him? The organizer?" Sicheng shakes his head.
"Never, he comes very rarely, but he has set up cameras everywhere so he can watch the skateboarders." you don't know if it's smart, or creepy.
When you get to the end of the trail, you fold your arms across your chest looking around. There are a lot of people, like a lot. You see hair of all colors, people of all ages, and it's nice.
"Sicheng!" the young man turns and his smile disappears when his gaze falls on a skateboarder. "I didn't think you would come, I heard you were way too busy taking care of an empty store."
Sicheng sighs. "Jaehyun, what are you doing here? I thought you couldn't skate anymore." Jaehyun's gaze falls on you, then on Shotaro before sliding down on the board he has just placed on the ground.
"Oh, did you bring some friends? That's good. Do you skate?" he asks Shotaro who nods vigorously. "Do you want to participate in the race?"
Sicheng opens his mouth to say something, but Shotaro is faster than him to answer. "I don't know, can I?" Jaehyun nods, smirking. "Oh my god, yes!"
"You're new here, so I'll race you, don't worry, I'm nice on the track." he winks at you, and turns on his heel before disappearing into the crowd.
You turn to Shotaro. "Are you crazy? You've never skated on this kind of road, you're going to get hurt!"
It is Sicheng's turn to speak. "You can't race him, he's a savage, he's going to send you into the background from the start to make sure he'll win!"
Shotaro shrugs his shoulders. "It's a good opportunity to try it out on the road, isn't it? And why would he do that, he's going to be in trouble if he hurts me on purpose."
Sicheng sighs. "You don't understand Shotaro. If he hurts you on purpose there won't be any consequences for him. It's an illegal race, so if something happens, if you need to be sent to the hospital , you will be the one in trouble, they won't give a shit if you mention Jaehyun."
"Oh." you put your arm on Shotaro's shoulder, who looks up at you.
"It's okay, Shotaro, you can train on a normal road, Sicheng must have places he likes to go, right?" Sicheng nods.
"I'm going to go for a walk, see if I don't see someone from the skate park." Shotaro whispers, and it's his turn to disappear into the crowd. Maybe you should hold him back, but you don't want to force him to stay if he's angry.
"Who is this Jaehyun?" you ask Sicheng who is approaching you so that he can speak without having to yell above the hubub.
"Jaehyun started skateboarding when he was very young, we actually met like that. It's just that he takes racing way too seriously, and he won't hesitate to push someone from the side of the road if that can allow him a victory. He is not afraid of anything, except defeat. He had an accident a few months ago, and we all thought it was the end of his career, but from what I just saw, it wasn't true."
It's not reassuring, you think, biting the inside of your cheek. "Have you ever raced against him?"
Sicheng laughs coldly. "Yeah. All I remember from the race is waking up in a hospital bed with my elbow and collarbone broken."
You understand why he told Shotaro not to race against him, and you are grateful to him for that.
"Come on, I'll show you around."
To avoid getting lost in the crowd, Sicheng takes your hand in his, and he intertwines your fingers. His hand is warm, and it's pretty nice.
He shows you the places where he fell, where he split his cheek, where he broke his wrist and the fingers of his left hand, and each time you can't help but laugh at the dramatic way he tells his stories. "You'll end up falling apart if you keep racing."
"I know it, my friends all tell me, but it's all I've got. It's the only thing I know how to do, where I'm good at." it’s something you don’t believe. You spent enough time with him to know that he is an artist, and that he wielded the tools like no one else. He has so much more than just his skateboard.
"You're wrong, you're-" you're cut off when a crackling sounds through the speakers is heard, and you turn your head towards Sicheng.
“We have the first participants in tonight's race! Jaehyun, a regular we never thought would ever come back, and a new kid, Shotaro!”
"Shit!" Sicheng exclaims, and he starts to run. At first you are frozen in place, but suddenly fingers are circling your wrist and you are pulled by Sicheng. "Come on, we have to stop him!"
Unfortunately with the people it's hard to navigate through the crowds, and before you even get to the starting track, a whistle blows, and the two boys set off.
"Stop the race!" Sicheng says to the young woman holding the whistle, and she shakes her head.
"No can do, sorry."
Your heart is beating so hard in your chest, that you wonder if it will fall at your feet, and Sicheng is not better. He is unable to stand still as he looks at one of the many screens that show the different places Shotaro will skate by.
You dig your fingernails into the palms of your hands without even realizing it, it's only when Sicheng gasps that you lower your gaze. You broke the skin, and blood is covering the tips of your fingernails. "It's going to be fine, calm down." he says, holding one of your hands.
"What is he doing?" someone exclaims with a mixture of surprise and indignation.
You look at the screen, and your eyes widen. Jaehyun and Shotaro are side by side, and Jaehyun is trying to knock him off his skateboard. "We have to do something."
When you don't get a response, you turn around, and you notice that Sicheng has disappeared. You stand on your tiptoes, and you see him running on the track before hopping on his skateboard.
Suddenly, what you feared is happening.
Shotaro loses his balance, and he falls off his skateboard. A fall is nothing, he could get away with a few bruises, but unfortunately at full speed it's a different story.
Shotaro tries to catch himself, but the way his wrist twists makes you nauseous. His wrist should not be bent like this. His head bangs against the asphalt, and your mouth opens with a silent scream. You have to help him, but for that you need your legs to obey you.
You shake your head, and when you regain the mobility of your legs, you start to run. You don't know if Sicheng saw the accident, all you know is you have to find Shotaro, and get him to the hospital as soon as possible.
When you get to Shotaro, he's still on the ground, unconscious. Sicheng and Jaehyun ​are a meter or two away.
"You bastard!" Sicheng says, and Jaehyun does nothing but laugh. He must have tripped, because his skateboard is nowhere to be seen.
"This is how it works, Sicheng!" Jaehyun responds with a smirk. "And why are you reacting like that anyway, you did it too, a few times if I remember correctly."
"Not at full speed, and in a bend! It's way too dangerous! You could have killed him!" Sicheng walks up to Jaehyun, and you don't need to see his face to know that he looks threatening, and that he's ready to hit Jaehyun, to make him pay for hurting Shotaro.
If he does, he will be in trouble, and you don't want that.
"Sicheng, we have to take him to the hospital!" Sicheng seems to notice your presence, as he turns his back on Jaehyun. A very bad idea, if you ask me, since Jaehyun grabs Sicheng's skateboard, and lifts it up high, probably about to knock it down on the back of Sicheng's head.
"Behind you!" you scream, and Sicheng falls to his knees, in time to dodge the blow that would certainly have caused massive damage.
"You're going to pay for this Jaehyun, and I promise you'll never get on a skateboard again!" Sicheng growls, and he joins you on all fours to avoid getting hit once more. He knows Jaehyun, he knows he'll try to knock him out at the first opportunity.
"He's bleeding Sicheng, and the car is so far away." you whisper when he's close enough to hear you, your hand resting on Shotaro's cheek. Blood is flowing from his wound to the head, and a tear rolls down your cheek.
"We can't call the ambulances, because everyone will be arrested, including us." then this is not an option. You have to find something else.
"My car is parked right there, I can go get it for you if you want. I'm also going to ask people to open the gates down the track so you don't have to endure the crowds."
You turn your head to the red haired boy who asked Sicheng for the weird skateboard the week before the race. "Please, that would help us tremendously!" you answer, and he disappears.
As promised, he comes back quickly, and he stops the car in front of you. "I'll help you put him in the car." he tells Sicheng who needs a minute to react, but when he does, he puts Shotaro in the backseat, and he sits with him, his head on his knees.
"We'll owe you one." you say, getting behind the wheel.
You drive off the racetrack without a hitch, and after that, it's just a matter of luck. All the lights are green, and there is no one on the road. Perfect.
You stop the car in front of the main door of the hospital, and you go out in a hurry. "I need help!" you say, and two nurses follow you outside. "He fell off his skateboard, hit his head and hasn't regained consciousness since. It's been 15 minutes."
Then it's a total blur.
Shotaro was taken away by several nurses, and you were forbidden to follow them.
It's been over two hours, and you're still sitting in the waiting room, your head resting on Sicheng's shoulder.
"I'm so sorry." he says in a whisper, and you look up at him. "I shouldn't have invited you. I should have known that Jaehyun would be there, and that he would seek to harm me without attacking me directly."
You shrug your shoulders. "You couldn't have known, especially after his accident. You just wanted to please Shotaro by inviting him."
Silence falls, and when the door opens on one of the nurses who took care of Shotaro, you get up from your chair, immediately imitated by Sicheng. "How is he?"
"He is fine." she says with a comforting smile. "The blow to the head was strong, but for some incredible reason he doesn't have a concussion. His wrist is broken, and he's going to have a few bruises. He is going to be just fine, and should be able to leave the hospital tomorrow after one last check up."
A weight slips off your shoulders, and before you know what's going on, Sicheng hugs you for a long, and strong embrace that you didn't know you needed. "Oh thank god."
Shotaro won't be in a race anytime soon, but he'll be getting back on his skateboard before his wrist is even healed.

I was tagged on this by @disgruntledtwig and I love it! Thank you :D
Tumblr media
1- My favorite works are:
The Tale of Le Paon; because is what got me and my platonic wife @kapane-luyeshu together in the first place, that fic is our kitten and I love it for that
My day 29 for the Nathmarc Novemeber from last year, the prompt was "Your favorite book" and I ended up writing 11k of a marriage proposal with The Little Prince theme and I just love it
Reki 101: The guide to take care of your sunshine friend by the Reki Protection Squad, maybe I just have two chapters published but I have the whole story planned and I love it, I'm just waiting for time to write it XD
And the fic I'm more active about: Teruhashi Kokomi's guide to make your crush like you back... and how it worked out for Akechi Touma; because I really love the Saikechi ship and the story is planned until its last chapter and I love it, this is one of my comfort animes and Saikechi one of my OTP
2- The easiest genre to write in my opinion is probably fluff, since it's easy for me to just make the characters happy and wrote cute stuff, it's simple and the genre in which I make the less research
3- I don't like self inserts because most of the fics of that type I've read were poorly made, the self insert tends to overshadow the canon characters and be a Mary Sue, however, I can remember one or two self inserts that were well made, the self insert was actually adding to the plot and was of actual help to the canon characters.
If it's well made a self insert can be pleasant to read, but in general I don't like it.
4- I genuinely have no idea, inspiration just seems to like me... It could come from a comment I read, a hc, a prompt I read, something I saw or heard, out of nowhere, from a dream... One day I was literally washing the dishes when the idea for my Nathmarc November day 7 came ( it had nothing to do with washing the dishes btw) inspiration just came to me in a lot of different ways
5- Yeah, once in a while. In my case writer's block is very strange to happen and when it does happen it usually last one day at most
6- Right now my favorite fandom to write for is Miraculous Ladybug, more specially for the Nathmarc ship (My OTP) that could change of course
7- I'm not very constant on the length of my chapters, I could end up writing 2k or 21k for a single chapter or one-shot, it all depends on what I'm planning to write and how inspired I am
8- Fluff, I just like to make my favorite characters happy, okay? I also enjoy to write a good mystery
9- I'm currently writing for three fandoms: Miraculous Ladybug, Sk8 The Infinity and Saiki Kusuo no psi nan, I also have works for the Higuel fandom.
I also have drafts and ideas for fanfics for Saint Seiya, My Hero Academia, Bungou Stray Dogs, Merlin (from BBC) and My Babysitter is a Vampire (for the Bethan shipp)
I'm also planing to write for Yuri On Ice, Onyx Equinox, The night beyond the tricornered window, Sherlock (from BBC, and for the Johnlock ship), A Matter of Life and Death and Kimetsu No Yaiba.
10- I actually do take request and even commissions, it's just people don't ask for them, I even have my own Ko-fi account for commissions:
I guess I need to work more on promoting myself, that's on me
11- My most popular fanfiction is: Too Short! My first Sk8 fanfic With 15k hits on Ao3, 1k kudos and 410 bookmarks
12- I have 40 for Miraculous Ladybug, 3 for Sk8 the Infinity, one for Saiki Kusuo no psi nan and 1 for Higuel, which in total is 45 fanfiction.
If we add my one original story I have posted on Ao3 I have 46 stories, not to mention a couple of works in spanish I published out of Ao3 which make it 50
13- Both, is a hobby I really like but I also take it seriously
14- Of course I do, one of my life pillars is reading fanfiction
15- Do your research, you will be surprised of how much better a fanfic is with actual facts and more solid bases.
Also, for the love of everything good in this world, respect the use of grammatical signs! It gives your work consistency and it makes it look clean and easier to read.
Try to keep things logical and concise, if you don't plan your fics as I do and go withe flow about the plot a good thing to do is re-read what you have before so you won't miss some detail or contradict yourself in the future.
I've come across fanfics that have a very good plot idea but a terrible ejecution, or a horrible format
16- Of course not! I've read a lot of fanfiction and a lot if it has no smut and is still a good story, not to denigrate smut! I have also read good smuts with a good plot and good smuts that are there just for the horny.
Trully, the fanfiction world is huge
17- I do write mature content with violence or sensible topics. I don't have any smut posted yet. Because I do have some smut drafts that I hope I will be posting in the future
18- I'm actually okay with all my stories for now
19- My first fanfictions were posted in 2018, then in 2019 I had a huge hiatus and retook it in 2020, adding it all up I've been writing fanfiction for 3 years (I'm not counting 2019 my hiatus)
20- It depends, for example my fic with most often updates is my Saikechi fic, at first I updated it almost daily, now my goal is at least once or twice a month. The Tale of Le Paon has more sporadic updates. I try to be as consistent as I can
21- Yes, it does, I hate the OOC tag. There are just two instances in which I would read OOC, one if the OOC is really well wrote and makes the character interesting in a new light and two if the story is really interesting and get me invested into it. But in my exprience that's hard to get, I actually just have read one fic with OOC because it have both: a hella good story and the OOC really well wrote, so I could put up with it and even started liking it a little bit. Otherwise I just avoid OOC
22- It's actually easy, as I said before inspiration seems to like me and I have a lot of ideas and writing just came to me easy, that I tend to procrastinate is another thing
23- Just if I find it necessary for the plot or to fill certain holes. For example, in most of my Nathmarc fics since there are not canon families for the ship yet I made OC's for those roles. Or in Too Short! The antagonist is an OC because is what the plot needed
24- Pfff, 99% of my fanfics are for my OTP's
25- Yes, I actually like to project into my favorite characters
26- Fanfic authors:
Stelfy94 is my favorite Tododeku author
ASingleRaindrop, OminousPredictions, Avdieo, Christallized and BooksRBetterThanPeople are my favorite Nathmarc authors
Infinite_Silence, Axureé and FanficMX are my favorite Higuel authors
Disgruntled_twig is my favorite Saikechi author
EpicKiya722 is my favorite Vanitas no Carte author
Finally leedonghyucks is my favorite SSKK author
Those are my favorite fanfiction authors
Now my favorithe authors in general are:
Edgar Allan Poe since I was 9, believe it or not I LOVE horror stuff and creepy things as well as mystery (is a wonder I haven't written a horror fanfic yet)
Dan Brown, I just love how he takes real facts and makes them fill into his fiction narrative, I really enjoy the history, art and secret codes that come with his books
27- Edgar Allan Poe and Dan Brown
28- Every single one of my fics have tons of hc, I live to make hc, and most of my fics also have AU's as well
29- Anything between an afternoon and a week

2022 - My Year in Fic
I was tagged by the wonderful @danpuff-ao3 and woah...looking over what I've done this year, I still can't believe it. Because 2022!!!! It should be known in my journals as the year I came back to writing fanfics. I've written so many after years of writer's block and, while most are drabbles and short one-shots, I am insanely proud of what I accomplished. My eternal thanks to the Harry Potter fandom, the SK8 fandom, and all the prompt communities on Dreamwidth. Truly, they are the superstars for providing the sparks. The first step is getting over the hurtle and smashing that writer's block, and the next (I hope) is breaking that 10k mark for one of my fics. *crossing fingers*
I won't list all the fics I've written this year. That's insane. My AO3 currently has 125 works published for 2022 and I still have XXX more to upload before the week is out. But here are some I'm insanely proud of and maybe, hopefully, crossing fingers you find enjoyment in them too.

Matchablossom // Snowed In- Pt. 1
This is absolutely inspired by a thing that has happened to me before and as soon as I saw your prompt I was like yup that's the one LOL.
Ship: Matchablossom | Kojiro/Kaoru
Fandom: Sk8 The Infinity
Prompt: Clothes switching, locked in place, lazy evening, drunk text
Tags: Friends to lovers, pining
Traveling alongside Kaoru is always an adventure. He's a bit insufferable when it comes to his itinerary and sticking to it, but that's less of a problem whenever Kojiro can get him drunk in the airport lounge. Yeah, drunk Kaoru's a lot of fun. Travling with regular Kaoru is fun, but traveling with drunk Kaoru is entertaining.
This time in particular has been really interesting. The two are on their way to a friend's wedding in the states- a mutual friend they had met traveling overseas during their early college years- and Kaoru has done nothing but complain since the day they received the invitation.
"In the dead of winter? What kind of dimwit- hic -plans a wedding-" Kojiro is quick to save the glass champagne flute from hitting the floor as Kaoru waves an arm around in the middle of an impassioned speech about the horrors of cold weather.
"Yeah yeah, I know. Your fragile composure can't handle anything below 60 degrees." Kojiro's arm braces against Kaoru's lower back, the only thing keeping him from toppling off the bar stool which he's currently perched.
"It's an outdoor wedding Kojiro," Kaoru shoots him a seething look before lunging into a rant about proper wedding etiquette, volume way higher than is appropriate for the small room they're currently sharing with other exhausted passengers. Kojiro really wants to reply to their withering looks with an at least you're not the one traveling with him but he'd rather save himself from any retort from drunk! Kaoru.
*
When they get their bags packed in the rental car and drunk! Kaoru strapped in the passenger seat, Kojiro searches the itinerary for the hotel address.
"Uh, Kaoru, where we going?"
"How would I know? You booked it." Kaoru doesn't bother lifting his head from Kojiro's balled-up hoodie wedged between his cheek and the frosty glass of the window. He's finally reached the sleepy phase of his airport buzz. It's the usual course of events.
"What? No? That's always your thing."
"Not this time. You said you had travel points or whatever."
They pass the blame between them until they reach the most feared and unexpected conclusion. Neither of them had booked a hotel.
"Gorilla," Kaoru manages to droll out, rage seeping off his tongue like poison. He pinches the bridge of his nose, eyes pinned shut.
"So uh, now what?"
Just as the question leaves Kojiro's lips, snow begins to fall. Not just little flurries, that would be way too lucky. Instead it barrels towards the ground in huge flakes, nearly in sheets, accumulating around them as sleepy! Kaoru reluctantly sits up and pulls out his phone.
After what feels like much longer than 10 minutes of failing to locate any availability near the venue, their luck turns. Just 5.7 miles down the road from their current location is a decently high-end hotel with a website stating "limited rooms available." Kojiro calls to confirm, booking the first option for the weekend.
"Damn this white hell," Kaoru is wide awake now, to the misfortune of them both. He flips his phone to show Kojiro the weather radar predicting a winter storm that may not pass until early next week. Kojiro shrugs, not all that concerned. If it means he gets to spend some alone time with Kaoru, he's actually all for it.
"Ah, comeon, Kaoru. Might be fun."
"How in god's name is ice falling from the sky fun?"
"Ahh, don't worry, princess. I'll keep you warm." The wink Kojiro flashes his best friend only serves to infuriate him further. Koaru huffs dramatically before burying his face into Kojiro's hoodie for the remainder of the car ride.
*
By the time they make it a couple blocks before their destination, Kojiro's poking at Kaoru's cheek.
"Hey, Kaoru, we're gonna have to walk it the rest of the way."
Kaoru's responding horrified expression is, in short, hilarious. Kojiro relishes in it. The snow doesn't bother him. It takes a lot for him- with his big gorilla body as Kaoru had so eloquently put it- to feel cold. Especially now that he's caught a glimpse of Kaoru's slender frame swallowed by Kojiro's hoodie. The flush rushing over Kojiro's skin is more than enough to shield him from the harsh temperature.
When they make it to the front desk of the hotel, Kojiro speaks politely to the attendant while Kaoru shivers behind him, scoffing when the stranger refers to him as Kojiro's "partner."
It's not an uncommon thing for them. They are mistaken for a couple quite often, but Kojiro never puts forth the effort to correct them. He can't help but notice that Kaoru doesn't, either.
Kaoru leans against Kojiro on the elevator ride to the 8th floor, claiming his big gorilla body is tragically the only source of heat he's encountered for the past 24 hours. Kojiro lets himself pretend it's more than that, wrapping an arm around Kaoru's shivering shoulders.
*
"You've got to be fucking kidding me,"
Kojiro knew. He knew exactly what Kaoru's exasperation is in response to and he opted not to comment until the very last moment. Until nothing could be done.
"It was the only room they had, Kaoru. We can't afford to be picky, here."
It's not like they haven't slept in the same bed before. They have. Plenty of times. Kojiro quite likes it, actually. Wrapping his arms around Kaoru's small waist, pulling him close and squeezing tightly, twisting his legs around Kaoru's- it's all very comforting. He sleeps better than way, and even though Kaoru will never admit it, Kojiro knows it's the same for him.
Kaoru took some time to air out his frustrations before unzipping his suit case and gasping.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me,"
"Dude we just went through this, it was the only-"
"No, idiot, look," Kaoru points to the inner contents of his suit case to reveal it's actually not his suitcase at all. It's filled with loud, primary colored t-shirts and coordinating chinos. Add getting his luggage mixed up at the airport to the long list of reasons why this trip is, so far, a disaster.
Kojiro's boisterous laughter does little to sooth Kaoru's enraged spirit as he slams the suitcase and stomps to the night stand, looking through the hotel directory.
"2nd floor. Booze."
Okay well I really love this prompt so I'm going to make it longer and do it in parts. 😂 Please enjoy part 1 of this disaster.
