just remembered a fic on AO3 (or more likely LJ because it had that distinct late 00's experimental vibe) that appeared double-spaced oddly, in that some paragraphs would be spaced normally and others would have double or even triple spaces in between. it was about one half of the otp getting over the other's death (or coma, can't remember which), so all the comments were about how poignant the use of visual spacing was as a means to convey all the emotional holes in the character's life.
and then the author replied like... *giggle* guys it's NOT double spaced. try selecting the whole text
and we were all like "no WAY"
but we selected the text, and yes!!!
the "holes" in the story? they were actually lines and actions from the dead/coma character's ghost, rendered invisible to the eye by the simple trick of coloring the text the exact same as the background, revealed by nothing more than a click and a drag of the mouse
a story about the profound loneliness of losing your the partner of your life and having to make do without them, without anything to fill the holes they'd left behind, suddenly became a story about the profound helplessness of seeing someone you love suffer from your absence while you are right there, unable to do anything about it, unable to communicate that you love them enough to suffer unseen and unheard with them, just to keep them company they'll never know about
it was then that I truly realized how *superior* the digital medium is to plain printed paper, how the medium and the format can add to a story.
I think about that fic about once a year. I wish I could find it again
EDIT: FOUND IT!!!! UPDATE HERE

time for a writing meme~
got tagged by @yuzukimist who for some reason it will not allow me to tag back. ah, tumblr.
1. How many works do you have on AO3? 92 ... and they’re all long .... lol
2. What is your total AO3 word count? 5,162,079 .... should I have had a party when I hit five million?
3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they? Literally so many ... although most of them are from ye olden days. Like right now I only have 5 fandoms on AO3 (Untamed, Shadowhunters, Teen Wolf, Avengers, and one fic for The Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty), but on my old fic page I also had Harry Potter, How to Train Your Dragon, A;tLA, and Firefly, as well as a bunch of anime fandoms: Tokyo Babylon/X99, Yami no Matsuei, Weiss Kreuz, Card Captor Sakura, Fruits Basket, Fushigi Yuugi, Gundam Wing, Durarara!!, One Piece, Bleach, D. Gray-Man, Fullmetal Alchemist, Hikaru no Go, Rurouni Kenshin, Loveless, Naruto, and Saiyuki. A lot of those were just a few drabbles, though. I am probably more surprised than you are to see some of those fandoms on this list. *insert ‘I have no memory of this place’ gif*
4. What are your top five fics by kudos? All Teen Wolf.
Divided We Stand - still unsure of why this got the popularity it did. Sure, it’s good, it’s fun, but I don’t think it’s ... great? But it’s a super popular trope.
With or Without You - uhm, sure?
we can take our time - abo Sterek, yeah, that checks out
Whatever Works - poly ace!Sterek+aro!Steter, yeah, that checks out
What Goes Around - should be number one but understandable, have a nice day
5) Do you respond to comments, why or why not?
If someone has asked a specific question, or made a comment I really feel needs to be addressed, then sure. But usually no - I have trouble keeping up, and I can really only type ‘Thanks!’ so many times before I feel like a tool.
6) What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
I wrote some X/99 fics that were pretty depressing. The only one I specifically remember is And From the Ashes, which I got peer pressured into giving an unhappy ending lmao.
7) Do you ever write crossovers?
I’ve written a few back in the day. These days I tend to write fusions. I did write that pretty epic Teen Wolf/Shadowhunters crossover though.
8) Have you ever received hate on a fic?
LOL, of all varieties and varying levels of competence.
9) Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I have written plenty of smut in the past, and some of it I think was pretty good! These days I don’t. I’m really not sure why? I just don’t feel the need to include it any more. Some mild lime (ogodI’msoold) is the most I bother with.
10) Have you ever had a fic stolen? lmao someone once took Divided We Stand and published it on Amazon without even changing the character names or taking out the AO3 header. I think that takes the fucking cake. But it’s happened a few other times, too.
11) Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Several times! Back in the day with my besties and my sister, and these days sometimes with my wife. I have co-written with online friends a couple times but I find it difficult.
12) What’s your all-time favorite ship?
you’re joking, right? lol
characters/therapy
13) What was the first fandom you wrote for? seaQuest DSV, and I will not apologize for this
14) What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?
as @yuzukimist said, you might as well ask me to choose one of my favorite children! and my faves might not be my best, too. I mean, will I ever top TSOIP? But it barely counted as a fanfic by the end of it haha
I’m too tired to tag people but this was a fun list of questions, so have at it, anybody who’s interested!

AO3 Tag game
Tagged by the lovely @albatrossislan
1. How many works do you have on ao3?
315 in total, 272 as Aviss in English and 43 as Aleia in Spanish. Many of the Spanish ones are translations of my own English fic.
2. What’s your current AO3 wordcount?
1295737, ok, that is a lot… at least for me.
3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?
Oh boy, I am a fandom butterfly. I think over 30 fandoms, and in order or works according to AO3:
Bleach, Naruto, ASOIAF, HP, Gyakuten Saiban, Inception, One Piece, Good Omens, MCU, Kuroshitsuji, SPN, Star Wars (TFA), Sherlock Holmes (Downey), Get Backers, Teen Wolf, Ouran Host Club, Tenis no Oujisama, Yami no Matsuei, X-men, Keys to the Kingdom, The Man from UNCLE, Batman (Nolan), Hunger Games, James Bond, Hikaru no Go, Ted Lasso, Dresden Files, Criminal Minds, Sherlock (TV)
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Shortsighted – A silly Stony ficlet from 2012 where everyone is happy and living in the tower and Cap has a glasses kink and a penchant for slapstick.
The Naked Truth – A Kakairu oldie. Kakashi doesn’t think much of Iruka, until he sees him fight naked. A silly thing and I wrote in a couple of hours while cackling madly and it has always shocked me it’s my best received fic for this fandom.
The Unwilling King – GoT. Or what would I wish had happened at the end of season 6, where Jaime is not ok with his sister blowing up the Sept and gets rewarded with a crown. For his sins.
The Right Question – GoT. Ned Starks asks Jaime one question, and the entire world changes with it. A much optimistic and hopeful world with just one question.
A Sweet Life – written for a Kakairu Exchange about 10 years ago. Kakashi stress bakes, Iruka has a sweet tooth and there is more to life as shinobi than fighting.
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not.
I try, I honestly used to be a lot better than I am now. In normal circumstances I’d say yes, but gets to a point that I look at unanswered comments in my inbox and despair of myself. I try to reply because someone took the trouble to comment, and that made me very happy, so I want to at least say thank you.
6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
Not the angstiest, because that honour goes to Once More, With Feeling, but the angstiets ending considering the circumstances would be Darkness, also a One Piece drabble. For something under 250 words, it’s a lot of angst with terrible resolution.
7. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve ever written?
I do, the Naruto/Discworld crossover: A Close Call (Or, The Day You Get Relationship Advice From Death Could Be Your Last) I think it’s the craziest.
8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Yup, a couple of times. I’d love to say I act like and adult and ignore or delete it, but I don’t. I snark back and leave it there for posterity.
9. Do you write smut?
Yes, when the occasion calls for it and I’m in the mood.
10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Oh yes, again a long time ago. I reported it. I also had someone reporting me my own fic as stolen, because I had different nicks in LJ and FFN, but that was a misunderstanding which was easily resolved.
11. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yes, but I am a terrible person to co-write with and to date I still feel awful I probably made it a bad experience for the poor author who tried to write with me.
12. What’s your all time favorite ship?
Not sure I have only one. It depends on the mood I’m in. But the one I always return to is Kakairu, we’re coming on 15 years of that ship and I still love it. Running a close second I have JB, the ship that launched almost as many fics as that one, and way longer wordcount.
13. What was the first fandom you wrote for?
It was Hikaru no Go back in 2002, though thankfully those fics are lost to time. I was writing fic when my English wasn’t up to scratch, I saw the grammar on those some time later and almost died of embarrassment that I posted that.
14. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?
Definitely Once More With Feeling the greatest angstfest I will ever write and it basically wrote itself. It’s one of the fics I go back to when I start doubting myself.
Because I am terrible at answering these lately not sure who has already done it, so anyone who wants to, please consider yourself tagged.

replies
I lost a bunch of replies from a few weeks ago, sorry!! I think when my inbox gets too full, Tumblr likes to delete my stuff
Tumblr media
@hikaru-mikazuki​
thank you!!!! Fatherhood is a tricky thing for Hawks, but it works out after a little angst <3
Tumblr media
@mariamatuni​ 
hello!!! yeah Tumblr messes up sometimes :/
I’m doing alright. Still dealing with finding the right meds/dosage for my sleeping issues, and I’m social distancing still because of other health reasons. So being indoors this long is really taking its toll, understandably, lmao. I’m just trying to find ways to stay active and productive! Whether it’s reading, writing, cooking, doing crafts, etc. Thank you for asking! <3
Tumblr media
THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY THANK YOUUU! I’m really on my Dabi shit these days and I really hope the Dabi content is good. (the roommate fic was updated in case you haven’t seen!!!! it was one of my favorite fics to write tbh)
srsly though thank you so much!!
Tumblr media
Thank you so much!!!! Honestly, he seems like he would appreciate a casual approach, rather than his crush coming up to him and being romantic/flirty from the get-go. Even if he has feelings for them, a direct approach like that will really throw him for a loop
Tumblr media
He thinks it’s SO improper of her tbh. Very ‘un-ladylike’
Tumblr media
Yes I definitely think Madara’s insecurities can show up in a relationship, especially when he really cares about his s/o. 
Tumblr media
Hello! I can’t remember if I’ve answered this already so sorry if I have—I don’t think Madara or any Uchiha would force the termination, but I think they would make life hard for mother and the baby, and the mother knows this, so she would (based on the way I wrote the MC in the fic) do it herself. And the uchiha would probably expect her to
Tumblr media
I actually don’t have a tik tok but I’ve heard of the thirst community on there lmao ESPECIALLY for those two
Tumblr media
Omg thanks so much AHHHH!! I love writing Dabi so much, I hope to have more for him out soon
Tumblr media
THIS MAKES ME HAPPY AH! I’m glad you liked them!!!
Tumblr media
I change my mind so much about what Hawks would be into because I can see him being really open, but at the same time, really firm about what he wants. I definitely think he’s open about sexual relationships, but personal, intimate relationships with a romantic partner definitely need to be treated more carefully
Tumblr media
Thanks so much!!!! Hope you’re doing well too!
Tumblr media
I honestly have a small draft in my docs about a reverse situation where reader is the one suffering from the aphro. quick and Dabi has to help her out buttttt idk if that’s technically a sequel?? Who knows. Would be pretty interesting though... lots of people have mentioned it, so I’m definitely thinking about it
Tumblr media
I think he can be sadistic but I don’t think he’s a fuckboy at all. At least not in the sense that he’s a womainizer? Like, at least the way I write him (or try to) is that sex is far from the first thing on his mind, but he’ll indulge it when he sees the opportunity. I think there’s a bit more room for him to be *sexually active* in AUs? Like, an ABO fic, for example
And as for why that interpretation exists... idk! Can’t stop horny fans from being horny ya feel lol
Tumblr media
I haven’t written anything for mm in a longgggg time! I only played the basic routes before they added more to it a few years ago
Tumblr media
THANK YOU!!!
Tumblr media
<3 this message gave me serotonin 
Tumblr media
I.... tbh it’s not my cup of tea!!!! Something about it just makes me feel weird sksksksk. A friend bought me a subscription so I could check out the patreon page, but it wasn’t really for me. Maybe I’ll try to get into it again at some point!
Tumblr media
!!! Thank you!!!
Tumblr media
I definitely feel like that’s a big madara thing!!( Dabi.... it depends lol)
Tumblr media
GOOD!!!! We love our Hot Topic King
Tumblr media
I guarantee you people have poked fun at him before because of that and he tries to laugh through it like hahaha :D yeah super funny guys :D but on the inside he’s -.-
Tumblr media
I’m so glad!!!! This makes me very happy, I hope I can continue to put out good stuff for you <3 tysm
Tumblr media
Thank you!!!
Tumblr media
I can tell you rn Tobirama would walk in then walk right back out sksksk
Tumblr media
I 100% agree with this. I’m not sure if he’s a virgin, but for the sake of writing the smut people ask for, I feel he’d be... someone who enjoys sex as an outlet for stress (and sometimes anger). But it’s literally one of the last things on his mind. When he’s in the moment, sure, he’s focused on it. But he’s not constantly thinking about sex, or seeking sex, or anything similair to that
Tumblr media
Thank you for this <3
Tumblr media
I think if it’s really intense he purposely detaches some of the feathers he knows will get in the way—otherwise yeah his wings totally twitch and stretch and shake when the sex is BOMB
Tumblr media
I can definitely see that!
Tumblr media
I’m really into Dabi rn to an unfathomable degree... I can’t escape. I’m definitely into BNHA right now but I’m still working on Naruto projects, and a few other fandoms
Tumblr media
why of course (;
Tumblr media
Thank you so much!!!!!!
Tumblr media
I honestly wonder about this like... when I write Dabi smut... do I include the Pube Issue??? Let’s just pretend it doesn’t exist
Tumblr media
Thank you so much <3
Tumblr media
I think he would appreciate it at first, but after a while he would start feeling sort of... inadequate? Basically, like he’s not stepping up like he should. But at the same time, he still has his hero work, so it’s difficult for him to take initiative and be like “Nah, you know what? I’m ready for fatherhood” 
Tumblr media
I do have one I need to put out soon! It’s just sitting in my drafts. I really need to work on it
Tumblr media
I’m really into the idea that Hawks still has bird-like instincts so him/his family having the SHINY THING?? fixation is.... so funny to me. But that would definitely make sense!
Tumblr media
LMAOOOOO hell nope. couldn’t be me. sorry pre-design Hawks
Tumblr media
He would definitely see where she’s coming from, and honestly, might be a little relieved to hear it, AT FIRST. But then the guilt would come to him, and like what happened in the fic, he’d probably come around and convince her to make it work
Tumblr media
GOOD!
Tumblr media
IT REALLY IS! I always think about this tbh
Tumblr media
Yeah y/n really out here having fun isn’t she!!!
Tumblr media
For the canon AU fics I write, yes definitely! I really don’t think I could exclude hero work and keep the fic loyal to the culture of hero society. It gives a lot to their character, but honestly, it creates more room for angst. Which I love <3
Tumblr media
Not really! I mean, we see so little of them that most of the way I see/write them is really just me digging deeper to see what fits. Sometimes I’ll rewatch a scene from the show and think of something new, but otherwise, most of the characterization really just stems from the little bits we see of them. I take it and run with it lol
Tumblr media
HONESTLY you’re absolutely not wrong

Fic Writer Review
Thank you so much for tagging me and inviting me to play, @silverutahraptor!
This is fairly long so I’m putting it under a cut.
1. How many fics on AO3?
99 as of today!
2. Total AO3 wordcount?
558,120.
Of that, 481,556 was in 2021.
3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?
Okay, this is a lot!
Naruto (88)
Original Work (4)
Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling (4)
Mulan (1998) (1)
The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien (1)
The Lord of the Rings (Movies) (1)
Raya and the Last Dragon (2021) (1)
Sleeping Beauty (1959) (1)
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty - James Thurber (1)
Jurassic Park - All Media Types (1)
Aladdin (1992) (1)
Brave (2012) (1)
Frozen (Disney Movies) (1)
The Authority (1)
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) (1)

Fruits Basket (1)
Cinderella (1950) (1)
Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types (1)
Moana (2016) (1)
4. Top Five by Kudos?
Escape and Evade (Madara/Tobirama)
Silence is Golden (Tobirama/Izuna)
Caught and Captured (Madara/Tobirama)
Life Come to Life (Tobirama/Izuna)
Wild Wolves (Kakashi/Iruka)
5. Do you respond to comments, why/why not?
Oh, I always respond to comments, and usually within 24 to 48 hours! I love chatting with people about my stories and it often sparks new ideas or helps to conceptualise free floating world building/characterisation which is wonderful.
6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
That would be a tie breaker.
Either A World Well Lost (Harry Potter, surprise pairing) or Love Wears a Mask (Naruto, Danzou/Kagami). Both of them are tagged 'Dead Dove: Do Not Eat' for a reason.
7. Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one you’ve written?
Yes, I do!
The craziest one that I've ever written is The Secret Lives of Marilyn and Susan Short, an homage to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty by James Thurber as well as a commentary on the concept of the Mary Sue in fanfiction.
8. Have you received hate on a fic?
Yes.
I don't mind constructive criticism as a rule, but I've received comments and commentary that definitely crossed the line into rudeness, or that seemed intended to hurt and be destructive.
Some of them, especially on Escape and Evade, actually made me afraid to write about Mito or from her perspective for fear that I would get yelled at again. In several cases, I felt compelled to write long comments defending my authorial choices.
It probably didn't help that Escape and Evade was the first time that I'd written fanfiction in 15 years.
Needless to say, it was not an enjoyable experience for me.
9. Do you write smut?
Yes, I do!
10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Thankfully, no. At least not that I'm aware of! I don't think I'm a popular enough author for that kind of thing to happen.
11. Ever had a fic translated?
Nope!
12. Ever co-written a fic before?
Hm, kind of?
People have thrown lines at me which I've spun into stories, and I've worked with the fantastic @kurakura0-0 on fiction and art collaborations!
On a less deliberate note, I also wrote Ariel for which the amazing @good-grievance wrote a sequel, and we published them as a single story because they made better sense that way. However we didn’t really set out to collaborate on it.
13. All time favourite ship?
I don't actually have one!
I'm a multi shipper and I don't really have an OTP in Naruto which is the fandom that I'm currently the most active in.
I couldn't choose amongst all of my fandom ships for a favourite either.
Instead, I offer my oldest ship, the ship that I've had since I was a wee little fan - Gambit/Rogue. My second oldest ship would be Charles/Erik. X-Men was my first fandom.
14. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but don’t think you ever will?
I only have three WIPs that I'm partway through publishing on AO3, and one of them is only a WIP because it ran into the new 75 tag limit and bounced! 🤣
It's actually complete, and the other two are actively being published. I’m committed to publishing a chapter a day on my main series.
All of my other WIPs (of which there are many) are just waiting their turn to be worked on. None of them fall into the category of being unable to be finished.
I only have one work that I've tagged 'Abandoned Work - Unfinished and Discontinued' and that's A Third Wish for Miranda, an original fiction work that would be about novel length if I ever finished it. I still like it quite a bit and I'd love to finish it, but I abandoned it because it ran into a plot hole that I had no idea how to fix. When I wrote it, I didn't have the skills to take it any further. Perhaps someday!
15. What are your writing strengths?
Oooh, I'm not sure! The ability to deconstruct my writing and troubleshoot it when I'm having issues, perhaps. Alternatively, world building.
16. What are your writing weaknesses?
Oh, too many to count!
My paragraphs are far often too short, my writing isn't as visceral or descriptive as it should be, my smut isn't hot enough or is too repetitive... there's lots of areas that I want to work on!
17. What are your thoughts of writing dialogue in other languages?
I wouldn't mind it, and I often include words in my writing that are from languages other than English. However, they need to be there for a reason and they must be penetrable to the reader.
I could see myself writing two characters speaking in a foreign language in front of a third character who isn't supposed to understand them for example.
18. First fandom you wrote for?
Harry Potter in 2005.
19. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?
Oh my, I don't think I could choose!
If I absolutely had to pick, I'd probably say To Tempt a Target simply because it was a story that was so hard to write, but also a story that I put so much of myself into.
Tagging, but only if you want to, no pressure ❤️: @longliveustherecklessandthebrave , @woofgang69 , @heyitswrenn , @hidendumbassvillage , @greyduckgreygoose , @emilx311 , @sqbr , and anyone else who wants to!

Why can't I hold all these cool stories?
CURRENT CRAVINGS: Please see this GDoc, because I have some plots I’d like to try! I’m primarily interested in original plots and characters; setting them in original worlds or fandom worlds is fine. I am not interested in playing canons other than as side characters/world filler as of right now.
DISCORD: KYLO REN AT CHILI’S#8808
TIMEZONE: CST
PERSONAL PREFERENCES
I’m over eighteen, and would prefer my partners are, too. This doesn’t mean I’m interested in NSFW-heavy plots; I do not write smut. It just means I’m more comfortable writing and interacting with other adults. 
I consider myself to be lit-adv. I tend to enjoy partners in the lit+ category, but as long as you’re an enthusiastic and engaging partner, I don’t care about perfect grammar. I would rather write with someone just as involved and excited as I am, than I would with someone who isn’t very engaging but knows exactly what to do with obscure punctuation.
I’m not interested in playing only one type of character or playing against only one type of character. I typically don’t enjoy writing with people who are only interested in playing one type of relationship dynamic or one kind of character (such as only m/f, playing the female, or m/m, playing the “bottom”). I have no problem with these dynamics or characters at all, nor do I have an issue playing against them. I just prefer more variety, compromise, and opportunity.
 OOC chatter is really important to me. I can’t write with someone that I don’t feel like I can get to know. I’m looking for friends, not a faceless reply robot. I won’t communicate over any medium but Discord. I’ve tried Kik, Hangouts, etc.; they just don’t stick for me. If you would prefer first contact be through email, you can shoot me a quick message and your handle to [email protected].
I’m fine with threading in a GDoc or a server, but I will not thread over DMs. It’s difficult to have OOC chatter and the thread over the top of each other.
If you’re looking for a partner that writes a reply a day without fail, that’s not me. I prefer that we don’t have “posting schedules” or set posting times, because I find that it turns writing into a chore. It’s great if you reply immediately, and it’s totally okay if you need a week to figure something out! You’re absolutely free to poke me. I’m not always the most mindful. However, I’m not going to reply every day. Three to four times a week is my frequency.
PLOT PREFERENCES
I’m interested in both fandom and original settings, and I’m down for playing both canon characters and OCs. I don’t necessarily prefer one or the other. 
I definitely prefer canon doubling from my partners in fandom plots; I mesh better with people who do a little give-and-take when it comes to that. If you only play one canon character or only play OCs against canons and won’t play canons, I don’t think we’ll work.
I can play as many characters as needed, whether it’s just one or it’s six. Whatever our story calls for, I can manage that. In fact, I would love to play multiple “main” pairings so we can both get what we want, versus a single main pairing (unless it’s a pairing/dynamic we both like equally well). I find more than one facet to a plot really interesting, and multiple characters helps flesh out a story’s dimensions.
I’m absolutely interested in joining groups, so please don’t be shy about asking me to participate in plots with more than two players. So long as they don’t involve me writing sexual NSFW, we’re Gucci; everyone else writing NSFW isn’t a deal breaker for me.
Multiple threads and plots at the same time are no issue for me. In fact, I love the idea that we click so well that we just can’t stop coming up with good ideas! So definitely don’t be afraid to pitch something new to me, whether it’s because you want to switch gears (and drop a thread for another), or want to do everything at once.
Romance is a must for me! I prefer slow and agonizing journeys to get there, but my attention is best held by romantic chemistry between characters.
I can provide writing samples upon request, though I never require them from my partner. Additionally, I have some plots written out if you’re interested in that sort of thing. Otherwise, we can brainstorm together!

Why can't I hold all these cool stories?
CURRENT CRAVINGS: Please see this GDoc, because I have some plots I’d like to try! I’m primarily interested in original plots and characters; setting them in original worlds or fandom worlds is fine. I am not interested in playing canons other than as side characters/world filler as of right now.
DISCORD: KYLO REN AT CHILI’S#8808
  PERSONAL PREFERENCES
I’m over eighteen, and would prefer my partners are, too. This doesn’t mean I’m interested in NSFW-heavy plots; I do not write smut. It just means I’m more comfortable writing and interacting with other adults.
I consider myself to be lit-adv. I tend to enjoy partners in the lit+ category, but as long as you’re an enthusiastic and engaging partner, I don’t care about perfect grammar. I would rather write with someone just as involved and excited as I am, than I would with someone who isn't very engaging but knows exactly what to do with obscure punctuation.
I’m not interested in playing only one type of character or playing against only one type of character. I typically don’t enjoy writing with people who are only interested in playing one type of relationship dynamic or one kind of character (such as only m/f, playing the female, or m/m, playing the “bottom”). I have no problem with these dynamics or characters at all, nor do I have an issue playing against them. I just prefer more variety, compromise, and opportunity.
 OOC chatter is really important to me. I can’t write with someone that I don’t feel like I can get to know. I’m looking for friends, not a faceless reply robot. I won’t communicate over any medium but Discord. I've tried Kik, Hangouts, etc.; they just don't stick for me. If you would prefer first contact be through email, you can shoot me a quick message and your handle to [email protected].
I’m fine with threading in a GDoc or a server, but I will not thread over DMs. It’s difficult to have OOC chatter and the thread over the top of each other.
If you're looking for a partner that writes a reply a day without fail, that's not me. I prefer that we don't have "posting schedules” or set posting times, because I find that it turns writing into a chore. It's great if you reply immediately, and it's totally okay if you need a week to figure something out! You’re absolutely free to poke me. I’m not always the most mindful. However, I’m not going to reply every day. Three to four times a week is my frequency.
  PLOT PREFERENCES
I’m interested in both fandom and original settings, and I’m down for playing both canon characters and OCs. I don’t necessarily prefer one or the other. 
I definitely prefer canon doubling from my partners in fandom plots; I mesh better with people who do a little give-and-take when it comes to that. If you only play one canon character or only play OCs against canons and won’t play canons, I don’t think we’ll work.
I can play as many characters as needed, whether it's just one or it's six. Whatever our story calls for, I can manage that. In fact, I would love to play multiple “main” pairings so we can both get what we want, versus a single main pairing (unless it’s a pairing/dynamic we both like equally well). I find more than one facet to a plot really interesting, and multiple characters helps flesh out a story’s dimensions.
I’m absolutely interested in joining groups, so please don’t be shy about asking me to participate in plots with more than two players. So long as they don’t involve me writing sexual NSFW, we’re Gucci; everyone else writing NSFW isn’t a deal breaker for me.
Multiple threads and plots at the same time are no issue for me. In fact, I love the idea that we click so well that we just can't stop coming up with good ideas! So definitely don't be afraid to pitch something new to me, whether it's because you want to switch gears (and drop a thread for another), or want to do everything at once.
Romance is a must for me! I prefer slow and agonizing journeys to get there, but my attention is best held by romantic chemistry between characters.
I can provide writing samples upon request, though I never require them from my partner. Additionally, I have some plots written out if you're interested in that sort of thing. Otherwise, we can brainstorm together!

yazzy, i trust your taste so much now, since i found both russian roulette and heae the silence by your fanarts, so please rec' fanfiction
Oh maaaan. That’s so flattering. Lol. 
Tumblr media
Since you haven’t specified for which fandom, I’ll just post my very favorites in general:
As you’ve mentioned we’ve got
Hear the Silence by EmptySurface - [Naruto, SI OC]
Russian Roulette by Vixen_Tail - [KHR, SI OC]
(For those who don’t know them.)
Harry Potter
Prince of the Dark Kingdom by Mizuni-sama - [AU] This one is… my all time favorite fic ever. It’s unfortunately not been updated since 2014 ;_; But still has 147 chapters. This is a ‘Voldemort won’ story where Harry stumbles back into the British Wizarding World and somehow Voldemort becomes his mentor. NOT Dark!Harry. That’s what’s so wonderful. You can see how the circumstances and changes in history led to everyone becoming the way they did while still being true to themselves.
Timely Errors by Worfe - [Harry Potter] A short sweet Harry-travels-to-the-Marauders-time fic. This actually has my favorite version of Harry.
Across the Universe by mira mirth - [Oneshot, time travel] This is… totally tropetastic and great. lmao. Like, you’ve got cynical Harry dimension traveling to a world where their Harry died that fateful Halloween night and James and Lily survived. The BWL is Neville. But it’s all from James’ pov who is simultaneously happy to have his first son back but is incredibly aware that Harry’s not what they expected to be.
Full circle by tetsurashian - [HUMOR, Harry/Voldemort] An absolute blast. This fic is so so fun. Harry and Voldemort/Tom have been in a neverending cycle of rebirth until they ended up in what seems to be their original timeline. There are all these amazing omake snapshots of their previous lives at the end of some chapters which are seriously amazing. My favorite so far is the life where they’re both girls who end up ruling their strict all girls-boarding school with an iron fist. lmao.
Ibex by AgeOfAlejandro - I will never get over how relieved I am I stumbled upon this fic again on AO3 after I thought I’d lost it forever years ago during one of FF.net’s purges. Uhh… how to explain this one. It’s Dark Lord Potter. The best version of dark!Harry imo. He’s manipulative and ruthless, but he still loves. All those things that make him care about people is still there. It’s just taken a backseat to what he feels is necessary. Last updated in 2012, so I’m not sure the author will come back to it, but it’s worth reading all the same.
Icarus by budchick - [Oneshot, Harry/Tom Riddle] It’s been a while since I read this. But Harry ends up in a world where Tom Riddle is raised by Tom Riddle Senior. It’s… well. He’s trying? But having a witch-boy who does some really scary shit and keeps traumatizing the servants is very stressful. Lol.
Naruto
Ghost by cywscross - [time travel] I am a trope whore. loool. So. We’ve got adult Naruto (aka Yuurei) time traveling to when his younger self was still with the original Team 7 to start off.  And, I gotta say I love it when the older self mentors the younger version of themselves trope. This is all from younger Naruto’s pov.
The Guardian Crow by dianamoth - [SI OC] SI is reincarnated as a summons. It’s such a good idea that makes way for a less complicated life when compared to other SIs honestly. So It’s good to relax with. 
With Nothing On My Tongue by sunshineinwriting - [team 7-centric] Naruto’s use of the kage bunshin changes a lot of things in how he absorbs information and matures. It sends a ripple down to everyone. Badass little child soldiers everywhere.
Claws Amidst the Cracks by Undead Artist - [OC-centric] Not quite self-insert, but OC-centric. And INCREDIBLY BRUTAL. Definitely heed the warnings. It’s super intense and fucked up, and made me cry so many times. OC wakes up as Sasuke in the aftermath of the massacre. OC, who is from our world, did not have a great life either. Anyway, it’s brilliantly written and I love it, but I know some people just cannot with how graphic it can get.
Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Chroma Diamonds by Brick - [KHR, R27, 2772, R2772, AU] Slow burn, best burn. We’re nowhere near the romance bits, and it’s fantastic. The set up is: No one came to train this universe’s Tsuna (and yes, other dimensions existing is a plot point) and he grows up kind of twisted with his Flame sealed. Tsuna’s not… a bad person per se. But without anyone there to kick his ass into gear, he makes decisions that would probably freak out canon!Tsuna. Lots of Flame lore and culture. Namimori is a mafia retirement town. Ayye.
Colorire by The_Plot_Bunny_Whisperer - Just a feel-good SkyArcobaleno!Tsuna fic, good to relax with.
Welkin by Shivani - Another SkyArcobaleno!Tsuna fic. This one’s… huh, actually the only bashing fic on this list actually. Lol. 
Sidelines by esama - In one of those other universes that taken over by Byakuran, this Tsuna is the only one who remembers it when things are returned to “normal” by canon!Yuni.
For the Love of the Game by metisket - [Yamamoto-centric, character study] This snippet covers it pretty well: “It strikes him as weird that he’s had to struggle not to kill people, that it’s been such a challenge. He’s pretty sure that for most people, not being a murderer is way easier than being one.“
Undertale
Metamorphose by tuesday and The Great Boondoggle by Masu_Trout - [Oneshots] These are written by two separate authors but they follow similar themes and characterizations of Frisk which I adore. Which is that Frisk isn’t some sweet baby angel. All those possible choices that the player can make in Undertale? Yea, that’s part of their history. Frisk made those choices to kill or be killed, to commit genocide, or be a pacifist. Chara isn’t a separate entity that exists as a convenient scapegoat who possessed them. All those awful and wonderful things are part of their personality. It’s great. That said, neither of these fics are heavy/angsty. 
Orot by MiniNephthys - [Oneshot] Post-neutral ending. Frisk returns to the Underground.
Crossovers
The Warrior & The Wolf by worldtravellingfly - [HP x Naruto Crossover, Oneshot, Fem!Harry, Harry/Kakashi] Kakashi reincarnated as Sirius’ son.
Somewhere Far from Victory by ewfte - [Naruto x BnHA Crossover] Kakashi is reincarnated as Todoroki Shouto. I’m not really into bnha, so I usually have the wiki open to me as I’m reading. Lol. But it’s so entertaining. It’s fascinating (and sad) seeing what Kakashi makes of the world where he isn’t required to kill for his village from age 6, but still has to deal with… you know, Endeavor.
Whispers in Corners by esama - [HP x Sherlock, Harry/Mycroft] Harry makes a living as a “psychic” calling up the spirits of the dead. Mycroft hires him to tie up some loose ends, and they end up building a relationship.
Impetus by Crunchysunrises - [BtVS x Hunger Games] Buffy ends up in District 12. Which implies there’s more to life outside the Districts which is a no go for the Capital. So barely even understanding each other’s language, Buffy is “chosen” for the Hunger Games. It’s amazing. Because Buffy’s this sweet delicate looking valley girl who likes makeup and looking good, but she can still kick the ass out of anyone in the Districts, and they don’t see it coming.
Others
Apples Equals Cyanide Equals Light by Silver Pard - [Death Note] A highly entertaining introspective by Ryuk about Light. Who really really was very different from other humans.
Brightly Burning by Aishuu - [Hikaru no Go] For want of nail. Basically, what if Hikaru hadn’t joined the Go world until after Sai disappeared? Hikaru is fucking terrifyingly strong and depressed, is what. This last updated in 2009… so probably discontinued. Lol.
No One Left To Blame by Wix - [Oneshot, Team Iron Man, Not Team-Cap Friendly] A one-shot that pretty neatly encapsulates what I think Team Cap deserved post-Civil War.
A Disturbance Beside Him by ghuune - [Daria, Daria/Trent, Smut] It’s sexy definitely, but it’s their characterization during and about sex with each other that really really sells it.
THIS ENDED UP SO MUCH LONGER THAN I EXPECTED. I guess I had a lot more on my rec list than I thought. Or rather, when it comes to my favorite fics I always have to say something about it, don’t I? Whoops.

Eyestealer 9 - ao3 link
Fandom: Naruto Pairing: Senju Hashirama & Senju Tobirama (mostly gen, hints of other relationships)
Summary: Hashirama really doesn’t approve of the thoughtful way his father looks at his younger brother’s bright red eyes. He’s sure it doesn’t mean anything good for anyone.
He’s right.
——————————————————————————————
“I can’t believe you only gave us two weeks to finish redrafting this peace treaty,” Tobirama says. “I enjoy sleep.”
“You don’t actually enjoy sleep,” Hashirama points out, quite practically. “You always have nightmares.”
“Fine. I require sleep.”
“Well –”
“You’ve already mentioned the sleep jutsu they’re throwing into the bargain three times, anija, and that’s just since this morning. I notice you didn’t actually learn it before you let Madara scamper off.”
“Tobiramaaaaa –”
Tobirama had taken the news of the (hopefully) impending peace about as well as Hashirama could have hoped, which is something of a miracle given how Hashirama'd botched telling him about it.
See, unfortunately, when Hashirama is excited, really truly excited, he tries to say everything that's in his head at once, his tongue tripping over words that flow out disconnected and piecemeal and confused. And he was very excited by his conversation with Madara, very excited indeed, and he simply had to tell Tobirama all about it at once.
"Anija," Tobirama had said quite calmly when Hashirama finished sobbing happy tears into his shoulder - sometimes Hashirama thinks that Tobirama started wearing that beloved fur ruff of his just to have something to sop up his older brother's emotions, which, if true, Hashirama sincerely appreciates because it does the job very well. "Let me be clear: I have no idea what you just said, unless you really did somehow poison Madara with my eyes after he was unfaithful to you and then convince his clan to make peace by offering to heal them from a terrible disease that somehow involves strangling imprudent scientists like me, and also possibly that you think everyone should kill their parents as a bonding exercise."
"Uh. Not - quite?"
"That's what I thought," Tobirama said dryly. "How about you stop trying to tell me about it and give me a mission report about it instead. Chronologically, please."
Hashirama complied.
Somewhere in the first few minutes, Tobirama put his head in his hands and didn't raise his head for the entire remainder of Hashirama's rendition of that day's events.
At the end, he'd said only, "I see why people like you turn into a tree at the end: it means we can finally keep an eye on you."
Then he went into the other room to scream into a pillow for about two minutes solid before coming back out, having composed himself again, and informed Hashirama that neither of them was going to be sleeping until they fixed up the last version of the treaty terms‎ to account for these newest changes.
Also that Tobirama would be taking responsibility for breaking the news of the treaty to the rest of the clan, that Hashirama was very much not invited to the meeting in which he planned to do it, and finally if Hashirama so much as thought about telling anyone anything important ever again, Tobirama was going to kick him somewhere painful.
So, really, not all that bad a reaction at all, if you think about it. And if Hashirama had ended up having to make an example of one of his father's most vicious and unforgiving allies to show how seriously he was taking this promise of potential peace, well, it's not like the rest hadn't had several years to prepare themselves for that inevitable result.
(Also, Hashirama has been spending a good chunk of time since his meeting with Madara daydreaming about the fiasco that would undoubtedly result from Madara telling his clan about the new plan. Given how tactfully Madara had handled bringing up Tobirama’s Sharingan, Hashirama likes to imagine that Madara started with something incredibly smooth like “Hey, guys, guess what, we’re not rapists but we are going to get fucked if we don’t make peace right now” or maybe “I’ve decided that we should embrace eyestealing with open arms if it means we don’t all go blind” or – the most likely option – just going with “Izuna, we’re making peace with the Senju now, please gather the clan, I’ll explain later, really, I swear” followed almost immediately by Izuna attempting to blow him up.  
Tobirama has informed Hashirama that staring in the direction of the Uchiha compound, giggling maniacally, and asking people if they think the wisps of cloud hanging in the sky were the signs of a very large explosion, were not conductive to setting up his supposedly much-desired peace talks, but actually people have started doing the “Whatever you say, Hashirama-sama” thing that they do when they want him to go away quickly and if anything that’s made more people fall into line with the idea faster than they probably would have otherwise. So what does Tobirama know?)
“Stop whining and let me focus,” Tobirama tells him, interrupting Hashirama's slow drift back into that very enjoyable daydream. “One of us has to.”
“But –”
“Go walk. Try the north-east corner of the grounds; I’ve heard it’s nice.”
Not wanting to get dragged into revising the treaty yet another time, Hashirama decides to take Tobirama’s advice and goes to mope at the north-east corner of the Nara summer compounds, where they stay during their beloved deer’s fawning season. It’s an ideal place for a meeting when it’s not being used – the Nara are on generally good terms with both Senju and Uchiha without actually committing to either, and by permitting them to use this place, they aren’t risking their home compound.
The whole place still stinks of deer, though.
He sighs.
Then he jumps a foot into the air when the trees shout a warning to him. He’s no sensor, certainly not like Tobirama is, but the trees help make sure he’s not totally taken by surprise.
Sometimes, it’s even a nice surprise.
Beaming, Hashirama dashes over in the relevant direction.
“You’re early,” he says to the Uchiha delegation: Madara, Izuna, another frontliner (Hikaru?) and three elders. “It’s only been ten days.”
“Yeah, it has. So what are you doing here?” Madara demands, crossing his arms.
“You’re joking, right?” Tobirama drawls from one of trees. Of course he’s there – a sensor of his caliber, he sent Hashirama that way on purpose. Without telling him the real reason, the brat. “He was at the Nara’s doorstep approximately ten seconds after you agreed to talks.”
All the Uchiha stiffen at the sound of Tobirama’s voice, eyes narrowing; they’ve clearly all been read in on his – particular situation.
Great.
Hashirama hopes the information about Tobirama’s Sharingan hasn’t gotten too widely spread out among the Uchiha: he’s told certain relevant people in his own clan, particularly the elders who have come along to help with negotiations, but it’s certainly not common knowledge.
(Hashirama’s hoping to quietly spread rumors about it until it’s just generally common knowledge without him ever having to actually explain it to anyone. Maybe they can make out like it was some sort of last-minute deathbed gift from an ally or a friend devoted to peace or something, given in adulthood? That would be far more palatable to everyone than the truth, as much as he'd love to rub it in some of his clan's elder's faces.)
“Why don’t we all take this back to the compound?” Hashirama suggests. “The Nara are making tea for all of us.”
The next few hours are…mildly agonizing, with lots of sneaky pointed comments despite a general request by the Nara that they wait before starting actual negotiations and also lots of staring at Tobirama while he pretends to ignore them all.
“Perhaps a small break,” the Nara elder tasked (probably against her will) with hosting this meeting suggests, looking a little desperate to get out of the room herself. “To review the initial proposed drafts of the treaty.”
Tobirama reaches for a copy of the Uchiha treaty. Hashirama, deciding death by boredom is a bad way to go and dignity is fundamentally overrated, uses the moment to escape out the window.
A few minutes later, Madara appears on the roof beside him. He’s looking grumpy and standoffish, but luckily Hashirama knows him well enough to understand that he’s just embarrassed about how rude his clan representatives are being.
“It’s fine,” Hashirama says before Madara says anything that might taste like chewing glass. “We knew it’d be a tough sell.”
Madara struggles for himself for a moment, then sighs and sits down next to Hashirama. “Yes, we did. Even with all the incentives in the world, they’re not happy. Not to mention that I’m still not sure they believe me about – well, anything. They may ask to, um, see it. Your brother’s…you know.”
“We figured as much,” Hashirama says with a shrug. “It’s not actually a problem – they are his eyes, whatever the original origin – but at this point Tobirama wants to see how long it’ll take them to come out and actually say they want to see it.”
He’d signed as much under the table about fifteen minutes into the negotiations.
Madara snorts. “Of course he does. Well, they deserve it.”
They sit in companionable silence for a long moment, then Madara sighs a second time.
“Izuna’s still not in favor,” he warns. “I managed to get him to come to the meeting, but if you can’t get him on board before negotiations break for good, we’re going to have problems.”
Hashirama knows enough of Uchiha clan politics to understand Madara’s meaning.
At that moment, Tobirama’s chakra flares a little – not a warning, not in panic, but certainly defensive – so Hashirama rolls over to the edge of the roof to see what’s going on.
Both Izuna and Tobirama seem to have retreated to the same courtyard – no, Tobirama retreated, and Izuna followed, if Hashirama has to guess. They’re standing several feet away from each other, each one in the characteristic ready-but-not-actively-aggressive pose of their respective clans: Tobirama with his hands limp by his sides, Izuna with his arms crossed over his chest.
“- not sure where you got that idea,” Tobirama is saying, rather scornfully. Apparently Madara was right about Izuna being pissed off at the idea that Tobirama wasn’t using his full arsenal against him. “Even if I did use the Sharingan against you, it would only be effective with the element of surprise, which is now gone. You’re the experts, after all.”
“Experts or not, the Mangekyo is a weapon like none other,” Izuna says, clearly not appeased. “Can you perform Amaterasu?”
Tobirama inclines his head.
“Then why haven’t you used that?” Izuna demands. “I used mine on you once, though you dodged.”
He sounds resentful about that.
“A technique that requires a significant amount of chakra and makes your eyes bleed isn’t an effective attack on the frontline anyway,” Tobirama says crisply. “You were all but useless after that point in the battle; if I hadn’t been forced to retreat, I could have killed you easily, followed by significant portion of your clan’s warriors. Not emulating your mistake seems like a point in my favor, if anything.”
“Don’t be ridiculous. A one-shot kill strike on me would have been well worth being forced to immediately retreat afterwards and you know it. What’s the real reason? Don’t say it was because of your brother’s peace, because I’ll know you’re lying; you’re as suspicious of that whole nonsense as I am.”
Tobirama arches his eyebrows but doesn’t deny it.
“Well?” Izuna says challengingly. “What’s the real reason?”
Tobirama shrugs. “I assumed you’d block it.”
Madara makes a slightly strangled noise from where he’s lying on the roof next to Hashirama. Hashirama elbows him pointedly; they’ll be caught for sure if he doesn’t shut up.
Luckily, Izuna seems to be taking the news about as well as Madara is, which is to say not well at all. He’s hissing like a tea pot on the boil.
“Are you stupid, or do you think I am?” he snarls. “The whole point of Amaterasu is that it can’t be blocked, only dodged, and even then only the fastest shinobi can manage it.”
Hashirama wonders if Izuna realizes he’s paid Tobirama a back-handed compliment. Probably not.
“Normally, yes,” Tobirama says with a slight frown. “But if I escalated the conflict to such a degree, you would presumably escalate similarly. And as we’ve learned from our conflict over the years, water and fire neutralize each other.”
Izuna frowns. “Water? Amaterasu is a katon jutsu.”
“For you, maybe. Mine manifests as water.”
“Are you serious? I’ve never seen that before.”
“Your clan is full of katon users,” Tobirama points out. “Have you ever had someone who wasn’t one achieve the Mangekyo?”
Hashirama looks questioningly at Madara, who thinks about it, then silently shakes his head. Then, because he knows as much about subtlety as Hashirama does, he whispers, “I don’t think it’d be called Amaterasu if it’s not fire. Maybe Ryūjin, or Ōyamatsumi…?”
Hashirama punches him in a vain attempt to keep him quiet.
“I’d have to check the clan records to be sure about it, but I don’t think we have, no,” Izuna says, frowning thoughtfully, luckily ignorant of the (mostly mute) scuffle currently happening on the rooftops above his head because apparently Uchiha honor can't handle a stupid little punch like that without some retaliation. “I’d never thought about that. Traditionally, eye-stealing only happens among adults, and in those cases the qualities of the original dojutsu wielder pass along without accounting for the affinity of the new bearer.”
“Really? Hn. I wonder at what point it stops being flexible.” Tobirama looks contemplative. “And why it does, for that matter. Maybe something about when the chakra coils stabilize?”
Izuna shrugs, casual, but he’s sneaking glimpses at Tobirama when Tobirama isn’t looking at him.
“...how old were you?” he asks in a way that might come off as casual if one didn’t see how tense his body was, which they can, because both Hashirama and Madara immediately freeze with their hands around each other’s throats and simultaneously turn to stare at the scene happening below them instead of continuing to fight. “Madara said young, but he didn’t specify.”
“Somewhere between my first birthday and my second,” Tobirama says with a shrug of his own. “I’ve never bothered to count the days, and my memories from that period are impaired by my contemporaneous lack of understanding of the concept of linear time.”
“That’s awful,” Madara murmurs.
Izuna’s face below indicates that he agrees with the sentiment.
“Sometimes he has nightmares about being three years old again,” Hashirama murmurs back, because finally, finally other people get to suffer-by-proxy the way he’s suffered. Everything about Tobirama's eyes is patently awful and everyone in the world should feel bad about it, in Hashirama's humble opinion. “Apparently it’s very frustrating and confusing, and also involves some rather interesting views on omniscience. Apparently children don’t develop a proper theory of the mind until fairly late in their development –”
“Stop talking. Please.”
“Though, on the subject of the original wielder of the dojutsu,” Tobirama says, and now it’s his turn to look awkward. “I doubt there will ever be a convenient time to bring it up, but I’d be interested in knowing his identity.”
Hashirama grimaces. It really should have occurred to Hashirama that he might need to run some interference to keep Tobirama from asking about who his donor was. Of all the things he doesn’t want the Uchiha to be thinking too hard about – or counting dead bodies on – that’s pretty high up there, especially if his suspicions regarding the timing of the death of Madara’s one older brother are correct…
Izuna luckily doesn’t know the answer, and in fact looks surprised to even be asked. “Why would it matter?” he asks. “I mean, I assume he’s dead now. And anyway, I’m not sure we know; it’s been a long time, if it happened when you say it did.”
“If?” Hashirama hisses indignantly, only to get one of Madara’s very pointy elbows in his side.
“Understood,” Tobirama says. “If it helps, I can provide some measure of identifying information.”
“…how, exactly? You were a baby.”
“Oh, you’re not going to like this,” Hashirama whispers, and judging by Madara’s incredulous glare he might have said that a little too gleefully. But it’s high past time that someone else should feel bad about the whole thing; he and Tobirama have had their fill of it.
“– appears that the Sharingan retains all the memories it records,” Tobirama is explaining, and Izuna’s eyes are going wide the way Hashirama’s sure his own had when he’d first heard the horrible truth. “I only have the activation and the moment of, um, removal, but –”
“You remember your eyes being ripped out.”
“Rather viscerally, yes,” Tobirama says dryly. “But given that I didn’t grow up with a phobia of it the way the Uchiha do, it was probably less traumatic for me than it would have been for you.”
“You’ve remembered having your eyes ripped out since before you were two.”
“…yes? Though I didn’t understand the content of the memory until I was older.”
“I hate so much about what you’ve just said,” Izuna says, and he’s got a similar expression to the one Madara developed when he heard some of the gory details.
Do all Uchiha start worrying about people they shouldn’t at a moment’s notice? Is this something Hashirama has just never known about them?
He should’ve written out and sent a copy of Tobirama’s sob story to them earlier; they could have had peace ages ago.
 “Hashirama.”
Hashirama looks over at Madara, who has his forehead pressed down against the roof.
“How do you feel about using that raise-the-dead jutsu your brother developed to raise and murder your father all over again?”
Hashirama grins. “Necromancy is a bad habit,” he reminds his friend solicitously. “Even when one’s motives are pure. As fun as that would be.”
Madara groans and inches back along the roof, which Hashirama supposes is fair given that they’ve determined their brothers aren’t about to kill each other. He follows suit.
“The elders still aren’t going to like having a Senju with the Mangekyo, even if we do form a village,” Madara says once they’re back at their original locations. “Much less teaching him clan jutsu on how to deal with it, since he’s not under our control and could teach them further. But…”
“But?”
“I’m going to teach him that sleep jutsu anyway,” Madara says, and he’s got that adorable righteous fury look on his face. “I don’t care what they say; no one innocent should bear the weight of our dojutsu without any support at all.”
Hashirama smiles.
And then, because he can, he says, “That’s very romantic of you. We’ll have a betrothal contract to seal the peace treaty any minute.”
Madara chokes. “Betroth- I – what?!”
“I really only objected to that solution because I couldn’t trust Tobirama would be safe living in your compound,” Hashirama muses. “But I suppose if we’re all in the same village you two could just live in the middle ground.”
Madara’s flailing so hard that he can’t even speak, and his face is color of a ripe tomato. It’s amazing.
“I’m sure your elders would agree, too,” Hashirama adds solemnly. “After all, that would mean bringing the Sharingan back under Uchiha clan control, which is what they want, isn’t it?”
“Hashirama!”
Hashirama starts laughing.
“You’re a terrible person,” Madara says, but his voice is almost admiring. “Truly terrible.”
“Don’t worry,” Hashirama assures him between giggles. “It would be clearly unequitable to marry a clan head to a mere heir. Maybe we should pair our brothers together instead.”
“First off, your white demon is far too pretty to be wasted on my playboy little brother,” Madara says, but he’s starting to snigger as well. “Perhaps more relevantly, they’d kill each other first.”
“Probably.”
Almost as if waiting for the right moment, from somewhere behind them, Izuna’s voice suddenly rings out, nearly as loud and screechy as his older brother’s, “What do you mean your Susanoo isn’t a tengu?! If it’s not, what is it?!”
Hashirama and Madara look at each other.
“What do you mean it’s a kitsune?!”

What are your fandoms right now? Also, favourite characters?
All of them or just the ones i feel like writing right now?
What i fee like writing right now
Detroit: Become Human, fave characters Connor and Hank I guess? They kind of win by default because everyone else has the character depth of a paper cut.
What I generally still write in order of how much I’ve written of it because i am cheating off my AO3 page.
Final Fantasy VII, fave characters: Cloud, Vincent, Aerith
Marvel Cinematic Universe, fave character: Jarvis, duh, he is my favourite character in everything and anything, period. And then Tony.
Assassin’s Creed, fave characters: Desmond, Altaïr, Ezio, Leonardo, etc 
Hikaru no Go, fave characters Hikaru and Sai
(depending on next movie) Fantastic Beasts etc etc, fave characters: Newt, Credence, Tina
The Hobbit, fave character: Bilbo and… ???
Naruto will probably happen too one day, fave characters: Naruto, Kakashi, Jiraiya
Temeraire, faves: Laurence, Temeraire, Tharkay
Kingsman, still have not seen second movie, faves: Eggsy, Harry, Merlin, Roxy…
Vampire Hunter D might happen too maybe as crossovers, idk. Fave: D. he’s basically almost the only character there is. And Lefty.
Star Wars, Fave: Obi-Wan
Stargate might happen too one day, it’s been a long time though… Fave: O’neill I guess? O’neill clone? Idk. Thor was cool.
Castlevania the cartoon, might write about that too one day. Fave: Trevor.
that’s about it.
At this point it should be obvious i am kinda biased towards main characters. When i join a fandom there’s a 90% chance my favourite character will be the main character.
Only as crossover and even then i don’t like it anymore
Harry Potter. I’ve just consumed several life time’s worth of Harry Potter content. I am just kinda sick of it.
Sherlock, maybe, if I get hit over the head or something. I still love Mycroft almost as much as Jarvis, but goddamn did that series suck
Stuff i don’t write anymore
Yugioh
Katekyo
Doctor who
One punch man too probably, never was hugely into it
Mob psycho 100, it’s cool but I just wouldn’t hold my breath,
Death Note
Rise of the Guardians, was kind of a one time crossover thing really
Avatar the Last Airbender, same
I think that’s about it. Always on look out for new fandoms, though my standards are way different from what they used to be. These days I kinda only want to get into things with actual adult main characters, I’ve kind of gotten my fill of adventures of teenagers. And I don’t really follow that much manga or anime, aside from some isekai mangas. Soo…. yeah.

Fandom Year in Review
I went a little bit crazy this year, fanfiction-wise - I made a joke months ago that I was trying to get to a dozen new fandoms on AO3 this year, and then realised I was actually already at eleven. It wasn’t as much a joke, apparently, as I intended, though I hadn’t been doing it on purpose.
I published 213 new stories to AO3 this year!
(between February 10th and December 21st)
Those new stories were across 27 fandoms (plus original work) and total 469,799 words.
35 stories written for requests from you, duckies!
(I still have requests from this year in my askbox waiting to be written, too, of course! ;) And I’m not closing prompts/requests yet.)
70 stories written for Fandom Events!
Plus the one gift fic I wrote for the Sheith Secret Santa, of course!
Most of these were for Voltron, and of course this last week’s for Naruto.
Head’s up, duckies - if you know of an Event Week (or whatever) for one of my fandoms or ‘ships, feel free to let me know - I love them and I am terrible at finding them at appropriate times, and have probably not heard of it. Unless it’s for Voltron (bless the folks who maintain that masterlist).
New Fandoms (22)
In order of appearance:
Antique (Korean movie)
Mary Stayed Out All Night (Maeri-neun Webakjung | Marry Me Mary!)
Voltron: Legendary Defender
White Collar (I'd posted in before but not to AO3)
Sky High (I'd posted in before but not to AO3)
Avatar: the Last Airbender
Maleficent
Hikaru no Go
Hobbit (movies) & Hobbit (Tolkien)
Moon (K-Drama)
Silmarillion
Naruto
Captain Harlock
Kuroshitsuji | Black Butler
Inuyasha
下弦の月 | Kagen no Tsuki | Last Quarter of the Moon & Kagen no Tsuki ~Last Quarter (2004)
Star Trek (AOS) (I'd posted in before but not to AO3)
悪魔城ドラキュラ | Castlevania Series & Castlevania (Cartoon)
Newsies!: the Musical - Fierstein/Menken & Newsies - All Media Types
Thor (Movies) & Marvel Cinematic Universe
Tiger & Bunny
Torchwood
A number of these I have written for in the past but never finished anything, or simply never polished up a finished story and shared it. Seven of them were entirely new. Four of them I hadn’t even experienced before this year. *coughs* Voltron, ATLA, Naruto. . . Now my three most-posted-for fandoms, with 97, 28, and 29 stories respectively. (Also new is Tiger & Bunny, of course.)
Also *coughs* @mad-madam-m is responsible for three of my new fandoms this year. And I’ve dragged her into at least two new ones this year-ish as well I think? (Fandom writey friends are both fantastic and terrible.)
Not new fandoms
Harry Potter
Leverage
Moon Child
Teen Wolf
꽃보다 남자 | Boys Over Flowers       
I’d go over ‘ships I’ve written, in total and new ones, but quite frankly that is a very large number and I’m not sure I feel up to paging through 11 pages of my works on AO3 to put it together, so instead I’ll just say WOO to the number of new favourite ‘ships I’ve discovered and fallen in love with this year. ^.^
I will probably never add so many new fandoms in one year again, but look for me to write lots more stories next year!
I already have stories ready to post for the first three days of 2018. >.>
Happy New Year!
Best wishes from a very busy, ~Kalira

Fic Recs
For @bakatora​ who - to my interpretation - asked for some heartwarming, uplifting plotty fics you can sink your teeth into and come out feeling better because reality is hard right now, which I honestly really need myself. I’ve been so busy with exams and essays for the past three weeks, I haven’t even been writing fanfic, I think this is actually the longest I’ve ever gone without writing something, and I’m still not finished. Last exam is on Friday, and then I’m gonna crash.
But anyway, I’ll list these by fandom since you said any, and most of them are complete too, hope you enjoy :)

Teen Wolf
Naughty Hookers (Swathed in Wool) by pprfaith
Stiles is happy with his store, his hobbies, his friends. Peter's just trying to figure out how to raise his nieces and nephew without fucking them up too badly. Paths cross.
All In A Spin by ShippersList
Stiles can't really talk anymore but, with Peter, he realizes he doesn't have to. Even if their spoken communication consists of one swear word and stuttered syllables, they understand each other. And that's what counts.
If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out by mia6363
Commander Stilinski looked like he fell out of a propaganda video, his armor still smoking as he pulled off his helmet and handed it off to First Officer Argent. He had a few bruises down his neck but his smile was bright. “Glad to see you safe and sound, Mr. Hale. I’d hate for Derek to lose a member of his family.” “I told you,” Derek snapped at his superior, “he’s not worth this, Commander.”
Out Of The East, Never See The Sun Rise by ladypigswagon
In the beginning, there are three absolutes. One. Stiles is a god, forged of starlight and collapsing galaxies and he is eternal. Two. Peter is human, fragile bone and viscous blood and he is temporary. Three. Stiles and Peter are in love; love that claws its way inside one’s heart like fish hooks; all encompassing love that is beautiful but dangerous. Stiles is a god. Peter is human. They love each other. Three absolutes.
Save Me by DiscontentedWinter
Peter is the Alpha. He's nobody's savior. Not his pack's. Not his town's. And not that kid's. But sometimes salvation goes both ways.
Kitty Quintuplets by iCheat (short but hella fluffy if you need a pick-me-up)
Prompt: Imagine person A getting home really drunk one night and they tell person B that they're pregnant with kittens.
The Unexpected Marriage of Peter Hale by moonstalker24
This is the story of how Peter gets married without technically dating anyone. “You can bring your boyfriend with you,” Talia says. Peter stops giving Henry more bits of dried fruit to stare at his sister “Boyfriend?” “Of course!” Talia gestures at Stiles who looks around behind him with wide eyes. “I’m sure the whole family would be interested in meeting your young man.”
The Sphinx of Beacon Hills by Guede
Stiles is a sphinx, and he’s winging his way to visit his buddy Scott when a storm drops him in Beacon Hills, the craziest, crankiest, coldest place ever. And somehow, he ends up with a bunch of werewolves.
Proposing To Strangers by moonstalker24
At the end of a strained relationship, crime novelist Stiles chooses to hide from the world inside a bar with far too many motorcycles outside it for comfort. Here he'll meet the man of his dreams, eat food and propose marriage, all within the first five minutes. Peter doesn't know who this kid is, but he's cute and looks like he could use a break. So he feeds him. He's not expecting a marriage proposal, but with what comes after, he doesn't really mind.
it's not the color i came in by nezstorm
Stiles is a bit of an anomaly among the Omegas he knows, or everyone on the spectrum really. For him, heats are about comfort and safety, and not at all about sex.
Whiskey is My Kind of Lullaby by taylorpotato
Peter is a simple saloon owner on one of the outer planets between the Aaru Belt and the Olympus Galaxy. He’s done with trouble. Done with adventure. So fucking done with rustlers. That is, until a cute young outlaw named Stiles wanders into his bar. Peter has this problem where he can’t seem to resist charming narcissists (perhaps because they remind him of himself). And when said narcissists turn his life upside-down, the worst part is he’s not even that upset about it.
Crossovers
Whispers in Corners by esama (HPxSherlock)
Everything started with a stumble - his new life in a new world as well as his surprisingly successful career as a medium.
There May Be Some Collateral Damage by metisket (BleachxHP)
Ichigo’s been ordered to go undercover at a magic school to bodyguard a kid named Harry Potter, and this would be fine, except that he’s about as good at bodyguarding as he is at magic. And he considers it a good day, magic-wise, if he hasn’t set anything on fire.
Of Wizards and Heroes by littlelightsinourheart (storyforsomeone) (HPxMarvel)
Centuries after that fatal day of the battle of Hogwarts, Harry Potter has fallen into legend, a bedtime story parents tell their children, a name whispered around campfires. He wanders the world alone and immortal, until one single reckless moment sends him hurtling into a parallel dimension of heroes and villains. A new enemy arises from an ancient power, and Harry must take a stand as the last wizard to protect this new world. If only SHIELD would stop trying to track him down...and someone could explain what the hell was an 'Avenger' was supposed to be. Honestly, muggles...
Cardcaptor Harry by LunaStorm (Cardcaptor SakuraxHP)
In which both Albus Dumbledore and Clow Reed would have done well to remember that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in any philosophy... or predicted by the most imprecise branch of magic...
i blinked (and there you were) by Della19 (Doctor WhoxKingsman)
The Weeping Angels, Eggsy reads on the stolen Torchwood intel. Aliens that pose as statues, and kill their victims by sending them back in time and feeding off their years not lived in the present. The politest psychopaths in the universe, a note reads, scrawled in what looks like a doctor’s chicken scratch on the edge of the page by someone who clearly had a perverse sense of humour. A one way trip, the report concludes; you get transported by the angels, and it’s the slow road back to the present for you. Eggsy lays his head back on the wall, takes stock of his situation. He’s lost 30 years - three years more than his entire lifespan up ’til now - in the blink of an eye, and now he’s stuck here, in 1988. Three years before he’s even born. Arthur, the prick, is sure to be heading up the Kingsmen, and Merlin, if he’s even there would be…20, maybe. Fuck, so fucking young. Shite, even Harry’d only be… Alive, Eggsy thinks, and finds himself sitting down hard from where his knees can’t hold him. This is 1988, and Harry’s 23, and alive. Suddenly, being stuck in 1988 doesn’t seem so bad. Or, the one where love means changing the future.

A COMPARISON OF SHINHWA TO THE OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB
Recently, I became a fan of Shinhwa and since then I have been mixing up fandoms in my mind. It’s so annoying.
To unload some of my "burdens”, here’s something I’ve been thinking about for some time: if Shinhwa members were members of the Ouran High School Host Club (OHSHC), who would they be and why?
This was hard to think of because no one in Shinhwa is exactly like any of the characters in Ouran. So why am I still thinking of it? T_T
Here’s what I was able to come up with:
1) Dongwan = Haruhi
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Haruhi is known for being honest to the point of bluntness. Dongwan is like that, too. He was the one who told fans (known as Shinhwa Changjo or SHCJ) that Shinhwa was not responsible for their lives. It was a shocking when he said that because he was basically scolding the Changjos for “wasting” their lives following Shinhwa. He lost a number of fans due to this but like Haruhi, he just didn’t care ‘coz it was the truth, anyway. This turned out to be a good thing in the long run because it managed to weed out the very crazy fans from the more-reasonable-but-still-a-bit-crazy ones. Other interviews show him answering questions so honestly (i.e. What is the secret of Shinhwa’s longevity? “The contract,” he said.) that other members look at him weirdly just like how the other members of Ouran look at Haruhi weirdly for her “commoner” ways.
The thing that sets Haruhi apart from Dongwan is that he is also known for being “Ero-wan.” Think of how Naruto calls Jiraiya “Ero-sennin” due to the latter’s womanizing ways. Now I don’t want to think too deeply on how Dongwan got this nickname but Haruhi is certainly no pervert. LOL.
2) Minwoo = Tamaki
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These two are kings of fan service. Minwoo, like Tamaki, is the expert on delivering cheesy lines to fans. In the anime, Tamaki is the “king” of the Host Club. In real life, Minwoo is the co-CEO of the Shinhwa Company and its “front” leader.
However, Minwoo is also known by the nickname “Special Stupid” due to stuff he did on the group’s old variety show Shinhwa Broadcast. This is so much like how Tamaki is called an airhead due to the silly things he does. This doesn’t mean they’re really stupid, though. Tamaki is ranked first in their class in the anime. To parallel it with Minwoo, this guy is responsible for producing Shinhwa’s albums: from choosing and arranging the songs to choreographing the dances. He is very musically talented.
However, the big difference between these two would be their heights. Tamaki, if I’m not mistaken, is the second tallest person in their group. Minwoo is the shortest. Hehehe... Don’t worry, Minwoo makes up for this shortcoming (pun intended) with his incredible sense of fashion.
3) Eric = Kyouya
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eric is known as the leader of Shinhwa so designating him as Kyouya, who is the vice president of the Ouran High School Host Club is wrong, isn’t it? Shouldn’t Eric be Tamaki, the king and president?
Well, as mentioned earlier, Minwoo is a co-CEO of ShinCom. The other CEO of the company is none other than Eric. In fact, it was Eric who described Minwoo as the one leading from the front while he (Eric) led from the back. This is very much like Kyouya who is in charge of the behind the scenes activities of the club like handling the finances.
However, there is no denying that Eric also has Tamaki’s personality in him. In the anime and manga, it was Tamaki that gathered the members and held the club together. In real life, all the members consider Eric as the one most responsible for the group not breaking up even if they went through challenges such as their 4-year hiatus from K-Pop activities due to their military enlistment. Eric was the one who convinced them to get back together for their return to the K-Pop scene in 2012, which turned out to be a success. Interviews with the other members show how much work he has put into making Shinhwa the group and company that it is today.
The next thing I’m going to mention about Eric, though, shows that real people are so much more interesting than anime characters. Eric is known for being “4D.” This is a term I haven’t encountered before in my years of watching anime and reading mangas. In K-Pop, 4D people are those who are “off the wall” or “alien.” After watching various variety shows with Eric in them I think what they call as 4D is his love for pranking his fellow members (and fans) and for giving weird replies to questions in interviews. Well if that’s the case, then we go to the next section...
3 (again) Eric = Hikaru and Kaoru (The Twins)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eric loves pranks so much that he must be channeling the twins. Hikaru and Kaoru are the masters of pranking in their club. They are also the masters of “skinship” with their “brotherly love” act that has all the girls fainting over them. "What is this skinship you speak of?” you might ask. Think of it as bromance. Now that we’ve entered the topic of skinship, I have to say that ALL of the members of Shinhwa are masters of it. There are a lot of pairings in Shinhwa. We have acronyms such as RicSyung, RicDy, RicMin, WooDong, MinDy, etc. One member has been paired with another at least once in their lives -- not that any of these are happening in real life (but you never know) -- in order to satisfy fans’ delusions.
Having typed that previous sentence, I now know why I couldn’t get the comparison of the anime with Shinhwa out of my mind. The Host Club existed in order to satisfy the Ouran High School girls’ delusions just like Shinhwa exists to satisfy their fans’ imaginations (aside from making music and money). Ooooooohhh.... My mind is shattered. LOL.
Going back to our main topic, while Eric has characteristics found in the twins, all of the members of Shinhwa also have the twins in them. They all love showing hints of bromance to their fans and they all love to play jokes on each other--so much that they were able to star in their own variety show entitled Shinhwa Broadcast (a.k.a. ShinBang). Korean variety shows seem to be full of pranks and games. ShinBang was very important in cementing Shinhwa’s place in the  Korean entertainment world not only as “music idols” but also as “variety idols” as well.
Moving on to the next Shinhwa member...
4) Andy = Hani (Hunny or Honey in some translations)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cuteness overload!
Andy, being the youngest (”maknae”) in Shinhwa, and Hani (short for Haninozuka), being the smallest and most child-like in spite of being the oldest member of the club, are responsible for the cute factor in both groups. But don’t let their “aegyo” fool you. Both can be wise and ruthless at times. Hani-sempai, in spite of looking like an elementary student, has offered wise advice to the rest of the members when they needed it in the manga. On the other hand, Shinhwa members have described Andy as being the most mature out of all of them in spite of being the youngest.
Both have a dangerous side to them, too. Hani’s monster mode is awakened whenever something precious to him is threatened or when his sleep is disturbed. Andy has a Zomdy mode (Zombie + Andy) that is awakened when he gets too competitive in the games he’s playing in variety shows. It also looks like he uses the Zomdy mode on his hyungs (the older Shinhwa members) whenever they become too rowdy during dance practices.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ouch, that scary glare... it burnsssss.
5) Jun Jin = Mori
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ooooh... that manly charm.
This part is a bit of a joke because how could talkative Jun Jin be silent Mori? Well, since Andy, the youngest in Shinhwa, became Hani, the oldest in the OHSHC, then Jun Jin, the second youngest in Shinhwa, now becomes Mori, the second oldest member of the Host Club. LOL.
Honestly, the only similarity I can see in the two of them are that both are the “jocks” of their respective groups. Mori is an active practitioner of various martial arts like judo, kendo and karate. Jun Jin is the most athletic member of Shinhwa. This YouTube video shows him being able to do wondrous sports and gymnastic feats: https://youtu.be/bkCD-26mic0. Mori and Jun Jin’s strength is probably why members of their respective groups like being carried by them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Based on this picture, Eric has a bit of Hani in him, too. Coincidentally, Hani has been called an “alien,” in the anime by none other than his own brother.
As mentioned earlier, Jun Jin is very talkative and good at grabbing and holding an audience’s attention. This was how he was dubbed as the “variety king” of Shinhwa. This puts him at par with Tamaki who is the noisiest of the lot and simply loves basking in the attention of the ladies coming to the Host Club. Like Tamaki, Jun Jin also has a rather troubled and dramatic background story involving his father, mother and grandmother. In spite of this, Jun Jin is still able to maintain his smile. He is considered the sunshine or mood maker of Shinhwa just like how Tamaki is for the OHSHC.
Next up is...
6) Hyesung = ?
Tumblr media
<Pout> Who am I?
Now we come to the most difficult Shinhwa member to classify based on the Ouran High School Host Club characters. Shin Hyesung is Shinhwa’s main vocalist and “Little Prince.” What does that term remind me of?
Tumblr media
Ah, the princely Tamaki.
This was an image given to him by their first managers when they debuted back in 1998 that somehow is still stuck to him up to this day. Little Prince Hyesung is someone who does not want engage in the riotous acts of his comrades yet somehow always gets pulled into doing them anyway. Since Tamaki is always game for tomfoolery, this aspect of Hyesung’s character can be said to be like Kyouya’s.
Tumblr media
C’mon Kyouya, you know you want to.
Hyesung’s involvement in his group members hijinks’ often leads to either or both of these reactions: extreme embarrassment and/or the awakening of beast mode.
Tumblr media
Embarrassed Tamaki is embarrassed.
Tumblr media
RAWR
The members (and fans) love him for these reactions. They all want to be in a “relationship” with him, much like how everyone wants to be with Haruhi, be it a bromance or looking for “mother”. One nickname of Hyesung is “Mama Bird.” Jun Jin is his “Baby Bird.”
Tumblr media
Everybody loves Hyesung Haruhi. Is it because she looks like is a girl?
Sometimes, Hyesung is able to shed his Little Prince image. When that happens, he turns into Jung Pil-kyo (his real name). Jung Pil-kyo is a really cool guy. He holds a 3rd degree black belt in Taekwondo. It has been mentioned earlier that Mori is skilled in various martial arts. But those skills are nothing compared to what Hani can do when he’s on a roll. In the anime and manga, Hani is said to be the best martial arts champion in Japan. His prowess is such that he has been instructed by his family to never go all-out in a public fight. It really is too bad he’s so short and doesn’t actively practice martial arts anymore. Hyesung is one of the taller members of Shinhwa. So Hyesung’s got the best of both worlds, Hani’s prowess, and Mori’s height.
Now let us all pause for a while to appreciate the awesome-ness that is Jung Pil-kyo.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’m so awesome.
When he gets into the zone, he REALLY GETS INTO IT. Without any traces of embarrassment, Hyesung is able to joke around with the rest of the group. And that is how I was able to claim earlier that ALL Shinhwa members have “The Twins” in them. Hyesung does not shy away from pranking and even skinship. He transforms yet again into another aspect of his personality, the master mistress of erotica, Lemon Syung.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So in the end, Hyesung = the whole OHSHC. Sweet.
To recap things, here are the members of Shinhwa and their corresponding Ouran counterparts.
Dongwan = Haruhi + Twins
Minwoo = Tamaki + Twins
Eric = Kyouya + Tamaki + Hani + Twins
Andy = Hani + Twins
Jun Jin = Mori + Tamaki + Twins
Hyesung =  Tamaki + Kyouya + Haruhi + Mori + Hani + Twins = the whole OHSHC
Tumblr media
Leader-nim sends his “Like.” But aren’t you forgetting someone?
Huh? Who... Oh yeah!
7) Shinhwa Changjo = Renge-chan and the OHSHC Fans Club
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Renge-chan is the self-proclaimed president of the OHSHC Fans Club. She started out liking only Kyouya but eventually fell in love with everyone else in the Host Club. Isn’t it funny in how that parallels most Changjos’ experience with the Shinhwa fandom? Personally, I found out about Shinhwa through watching Eric in one variety show, Three Meals a Day. And look at me now, making this write-up on Tumblr after learning about and liking the other members. Sigh... such is life.   
Tumblr media
By the way, Shinhwa’s color is orange. Isn’t it funny how Renge-chan has orange hair?
Tumblr media
So that’s it for now. Good night everyone.

Manga the Week of 8/5/20
SEAN: Get ready for a brutal month. Every week in August is huge. Soooo much stuff.
ASH: Let’s go!
SEAN: First of all, hey, remember when I somehow missed that Soul Eater: The Perfect Edition started from Square Enix on 7/28? That was 100% a thing I missed, because I am basically terrible. Soul Eater is fun. Please ignore the boobie ending.
We start with J-Novel Club, which has several print volumes. We see Animeta! 4, How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord 11, the debut of the I Shall Survive Using Potions! light novel, and In Another World with My Smartphone 11.
ASH: I plan on picking up Animeta! out of this group.
SEAN: Digitally, there is Altina the Sword Princess 5, Campfire Cooking in Another World 7, Can Someone Please Explain What’s Going On? 3, Der Werwolf 8, Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash 15 (hey, it finally hit 15), In Another World with My Smartphone 20, and Record of Wortenia War 7.
Kaiten Books has another manga debut: UzaMaid: Our Maid is Way Too Annoying (Uchi no Maid ga Uzasugiru!). This Manga Action title from Futabasha had an anime recently, and I can confirm that its title is not just for show.
Kodansha had to push back its Shaman King rollout, so no debuts this week. In print, we get Boarding School Juliet 12.
Digitally we get Are You Lost? 6, Cells at Work: Bacteria! 2, Chihayafuru 21, Drifting Dragons 8, GTO Paradise Lost 12, Our Fake Marriage 3, Peach Girl NEXT 8 (the final volume), Smile Down the Runway 12, and To Be Next to You 8.
MICHELLE: I will never not be grateful for Chihayafuru!
ANNA: One day I will catch up! One day!!!
SEAN: One Peace has a one-off for us: My Papa’s Persimmon Tree, which is 45 pages long, seemingly based on real-life events, and award winning.
ASH: Interesting! It’s so easy for One Peace’s releases to slip under the radar; I wasn’t previously aware of this one.
MELINDA: Same here!
SEAN: Seven Seas has the print debut of Peter Grill and the Philosopher’s Time, the 2020 award winner for most “humorous” euphemisms for semen in a single manga volume.
MICHELLE: Ew.
ANNA: No thank you!
MELINDA: I hate everything.
SEAN: Also in print: Arifureta Zero’s 3rd light novel, Gal Gohan 3, GIGANT 2, Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid: Elma’s OL Diary 3, and the 10th and final Toradora! light novel.
As for early digital releases, we have the 11th Saint Seiya: Saintia Sho.
Udon has the 2nd Rose of Versailles at last. Cannot wait.
MICHELLE: Huzzah!
ANNA: I have mine, yay!
ASH: Yes!! Still so glad this series is being released.
MELINDA: Okay, I don’t hate EVERYTHING. So excited!!
SEAN: Vertical has a manga debut: The Daily Lives of High School Boys (Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou), an episodic comedy manga from Gangan Online that also became an anime and a film. It’s pretty highly regarded.
And lastly, ALL THE VIZ. The debut is a sequel. Fushigi Yugi: Byakko Senki, a sequel to Fushigi Yugi – Genbu Kaiden, but still a prequel to the main series proper. It runs in Flowers, meaning we finally have another Flowers series from Viz that isn’t Kaze Hikaru. Also, this manga is so old I have to remind myself every time not to use two u’s in Yugi. Because fandom.
MICHELLE: I am all about this.
ANNA: I am so excited for this series. Trying to emotionally prepare myself.
MELINDA: Okay, I absolutely loved Fushigi Yugi – Genbu Kaiden, probably more than the original series, if I’m being honest. So this is a welcome addition to that universe!
SEAN: Naruto has a new light novel (at 136 pages, a very light novel) called Naruto’s Story: Family Day. It shows him bonding with Himawari, and I think was animated.
Shonen Jump? We got you. There’s Black Clover 22, Blue Exorcist 24, Boruto 9, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba 15, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Arc 4 Volume 6, Jujutsu Kaisen 5, the 5th and final My Hero Academia SMASH!, One Piece 94, The Promised Neverland 16, the third Samurai 8, Twin Star Exorcists 19, and We Never Learn 11.
ASH: JoJo! So far, this arc has’t been my favorite, but I’m still getting a huge kick out of it.
SEAN: Shojo Beat? We have you covered as well. Ao Haru Ride 12, Kaze Hikaru 28 (the yearly volume, which means TWO Flowers series on the same day from Viz! Can 7SEEDS be far behind?), Oresama Teacher 27, Shortcake Cake 9, and Yona of the Dawn 25.
MICHELLE: I would even be super happy if 7SEEDS was digital-only. Heck, if Kaze Hikaru moved in that direction but came out more frequently, that’d be okay too.
ANNA: If only we got 7SEEDS. I’m happy for the annual volume of Kaze Hikaru. . So much great shoujo this week!
ASH: It’s a very good week for shoujo!
MELINDA: That 7SEEDS tease seems cruel, Sean! So much false hope! I weep.
SEAN: As tends to happen in Week Ones, Viz is most fascinating to me (well, that and Rose of Versailles). How about you?
