Inspired by Eeri's GaaLee fics for Gaza, I will also be offering ShiIta fics in exchange for donations to families in need who are currently raising funds to survive in and relocate from Gaza. If you are interested in receiving a fic from me, please read below to decide what works best for you. (Please note that proof donation will be required for ALL fics!):
$5 = a new fic under 5,000 words
$10 = a new fic under 10,000 words
$50 = a vignette for an existing fic that is NOT a new chapter
$100 = an update for an existing fic that IS a new chapter
Campaigns To Donate To:
Help Eman and her three children evacuate from Gaza (currently at €2,256)
Help Mohammed and his family gather supplies and save to evacuate (currently at $5,015)
Help Eman and her two children purchase food, diapers, and other needed supplies (currently at $2,251)
Help Seham's family evacuate from Gaza (currently at £370)
Help Dr. Maryam evacuate her family from Gaza (currently at €1,100)
Help Shoroq and her family evacuate from Gaza (currently at $1,726)
Help Walaa and her family leave Gaza to receive life-saving medical care (currently at €562)
Help Amal and her children to gather supplies and eventually evacuate from Gaza (currently at $2,240)
Help Dyana, her husband, and child evacuate from Gaza (currently at €990)
Help Aseel and her family rebuild their lives (currently at €510)
How It Works:
After donating, send a screenshot to me via Tumblr or Twitter (@vulcanitachi) that includes your name and the amount that you donated.
I will only be writing for ShiIta. If there is a side-pairing you want me to include, depending on the ship I may include it but it's not guaranteed if it's a personal NOTP.
I accept both AUs and canon-verse, but will not write major character death.
If you donate, you're more than welcome to request a prompt, but I reserve the right not to write it if it contains material I personally would not feel comfortable producing.
Multiple donations to multiple campaigns can either be used for multiple fics or pooled together to get a vignette or update depending on the amount. Just tell me what you want!
Currently, there's no limit to the amount of fics I will write, but this may change if I (unexpectedly) get overwhelmed with requests.
Once I receive proof of donation, I will be doing my best to post as quickly as possible, but anyone who follows my work knows I operate on a slower posting schedule, so patience is appreciated!
Fics I will considering updating include: lazarus taxon, wanna be on your mind (stay there all the time), the currently in-progress sequel for pack up (don't stray), and the currently in-progress sequel to our hungers appeased. I will NOT be offering the next chapter to lovers alone wear sunlight at this time because it's still under major construction and I am not confident I could complete it in a timely manner.
If you cannot donate the minimum amount to get a fic, even sending $1 or sharing this post helps more than you can know. Please note that the above campaigns are just a fraction of the people who desperately need our help to escape occupation and genocide. Thank you everyone for reading and a big thanks for anyone who elects to participate.

GaaLee Fanfics for Gaza // Fanfiction Bids for Falastin
In an effort to help Palestinian families who are trying to raise funds to evacuate from Gaza due to the occupations continued genocide, I have decided to offer up GaaLee fanfiction for anyone who donates. My goal with this campaign is to focus on a small group of GFMs at a time in order to better focus the financial impact on these families and their campaigns.
There are two ways to donate in order to maximize donations, and both require proof of donation. The minimum for GaaLee Fanfics for Gaza is $5, while Fanfiction Bids for Falastin starts at $20. Of course I encourage anyone capable of donating more to do so, as the Rafah invasion is a near threat, and even without the occupation invading, they are still bombing Gaza, including the so-called 'safe zone' of Rafah.
Below follows the families this campaign will focus on for now, and how these two campaigns will work.
Donate to:
Amal is 24 years old with two beautiful daughters. Her goal is $25,000 and (at the time of posting) she has raised $16,482.
The Wishah family is a family of 8, which includes their surviving cat. Their goal is €71,500 and (at the time of posting) they have raised €12,253.
Nourhan is raising funds to help her family of 9 evacuate. Her goal is €70,000, but (at the time of posting) she has only raised €25.
The Rozan family is a beautiful family of six, including children and teens, trying to evacuate. The family's goal is €38,000 and (at the time of posting) they have raised €5,915.
Rawan is a 15 year old girl doing everything she can to raise the funds for her family of 6, which includes her younger brothers. Rawan's goal is $30,000 CAD, and (at the time of posting) she has raised $6,159 CAD.
Omar just turned 20, as today (4/26) is his birthday. He is a friend of Rawan's and is raising funds to evacuate himself and his family. His goal is €20,000, and (at the time of posting) he has raised €11,022.
Mona is a mother of three trying to evacuate herself, her children, her husband, and her sick mother. Her goal is $50,000, but (at the time of posting) she has only raised $609.
Wafa is a single mother from Gaza trying to raise funds to evacuate herself and her daughter. Her campaign is in Swedish krona with an exchange rate of kr0.092 for every US $1. Her goal is kr100,000 (=$9,183.34), and (at the time of posting) she has only raised kr5,562 (=$510.78).
Somaya needs help to evacuate herself and her two children. Her goal is $40,000, and (at the time of posting) she has received $2,085.
For more information on how each of these campaigns will work, please check below the cut. If you are not familiar with my writing, you can check it out here.
GaaLee Fics for Gaza
This is a fairly straight-forward donation campaign. Donate at least the minimum amount to any of the above families (or multiple of the above families), and I will write you a GaaLee fanfic. Below are more details:
Minimum donation is $5. Send proof of donation to me via DMs. The screenshot must clearly show your name and the amount as a finalized payment.
No NSFW.
Only GaaLee fics, Gaara-centric fics, or Lee-centric fics. Side pairings are fine, assuming it's a side-pairing I typically write (ShikaTema, NejiTen, KakaGai) in order to ensure the speed and quality of the fic.
AUs and canon-verse are fine. No Bortuo.
Fics will be 2,000 words minimum, but depending on the prompt may go up to 5,000.
Donating more than $5 will not change the word count, unless it is a generous donation (ie. $50 or more) and/or you donate to all 9 families above. However, bear in mind this will prolong the writing process.
Donations to multiple families counts as separate fics, or you can combine these donations into a longer fic. Again, bear in mind longer fics will take more time.
You may request a fic idea of your own, or if you do not have one you may request a fic from my 'ideas doc' which I will pick at random.
You cannot make a $20 donation for a GaaLee Fic for Gaza and use that same donation towards a bid on a fic update. Those must be separate.
There is currently no cap to how many fics I will write, but that is subject to change in the event this blows up (which I don't expect).
Fanfiction Bids for Falastin
Unlike the above, this campaign hopes to encourage larger donations through bidding on a fanfic update.
As I am a notoriously slow writer, who will disappear for a year and then return with a 30k word chapter update, and because @shukakumoodboard indicated hope that a donation could lead to a certain fic being updated, I thought perhaps other people might also consider donating for an update as opposed to something new. The minimum/starting bid is higher because the WIPs available for bidding are all a lot more complex than a 2k word one-shot, and will take more time. The bidding format also allows me to only worry about ONE large update, as opposed to a handful of updates.
And because this is about helping Palestinian families, you must actually donate to the families for your bid to count towards a potential update. While I would love to promise multiple 30k word updates, I do not have that capacity right now and so only one person can make the final choice on what will be updated.
Below is a more thorough breakdown of this particular donation campaign and the fics available for bidding:
Starting donation is $20. Like the GaaLee Fics for Gaza campaign, proof of donation is required. Donation does not guarantee you will be able to pick a fic for updating.
You cannot combine donating a donation from GaaLee Fics for Gaza fic with this campaign.
There is no min/max word count, as this will be for ongoing fics. Depending on the fic the update could be anywhere from 5k words to 50k.
There will be no prompts. Again, this is for a fic update. All WIPs are already plotted and changes will not be made to the plot.
You can bid as many times as you want, but separate bids will not be counted as one large bid. I will update a separate post as donations come in, so anyone donating can see what the most recent highest bid is.
Donations for this campaign will start immediately, and the end date will be May 20th.
At the end of this campaign, the donor with the highest single donation will be able to chose a fic update from ONE of the following fics:
Absolution
The Art of Love
The Ballad of the Dragon and the Phoenix*
Blood on the Branches*
It Eats Your Heart*
Thirteen Strokes
*Note: These fics are not as far along and the next chapter updates are not likely to be extremely long. Estimated at under 10K.
As a general note to everyone donating, please keep in mind that while I am running this campaign and will do my best to deliver fics quickly, I am also working, disabled, and most importantly still helping families who reach out to me on IG with their campaigns. I have a spreadsheet of nearly 100 families, with more people waiting on me to answer their messages. I will set aside a day a week to work on any fics for this campaign, but please understand these fics will not come out immediately.
Thank you in advance to everyone who donates, whether you donate for a fic or not. Truly, you have no idea how important every single donation is to every single family is. The messages I have received filled with gratitude and kindness would break your heart and make you cry. It was so impossible to pick only nine families to ask you to help when I have so many more reaching out to me; when there are so many more who I haven't spoken to whose campaigns I've seen on my various social media feeds. No one family is more important than another. Every family is filled with love, with stories, with memories, with hopes and dreams; every family matters so much; every single family deserves to live free, long, happy lives; and every family has experienced so much pain and loss there is no way to do that justice with words, but they deserve the chance to grieve, to breathe, and to heal.
Please help these families reach their goals, and if you cannot donate the minimum required for fic, please even $1 will make a difference. Every single thing we do creates a ripple effect. One dollar becomes two, becomes three, becomes four... until one day a family is safe.
So please, regardless of the fic I am offering, do what you can--whether that's sharing GFMs or donating. Every little bit helps.
rereading my own writing is just a constant fluctuation between "damn, girl, you wrote this? (affectionate)" and "damn, girl, you wrote this? (derogatory)"
All I know is that what happened was a tragedy. A terrible tragedy. I probably shouldn’t say this, but… some of these kids, eh, no big loss, if we’re honest. But those girls were special. They were… They were champions.

I think there's something that needs to be said about encouraging readers to leave feedback.
For me it's not about "tell me my writing is amazing and stroke my ego"
It's more about "please engage with me so that I can experience your joy secondhand and foster a connection with you"
I understand that not everyone wants this in their reading experience, some people are shy and a million other reasons why maybe someone wouldn't want to engage and that's perfectly fine!
But what I'm trying to steer away from is being a passive content creator with passive consumers. What I want to steer toward is fostering a community that is essential to fandom. I want to see your reactions because it makes me feel like I'm a part of something.
On encouraging reblogs —
I understand that not everyone is comfortable reblogging, especially explicit content. This is ok!
But just consider that the only reason you were able to enjoy a fic or fanart is because someone else shared it, and by not sharing it yourself you are potentially robbing someone else of the opportunity to enjoy it as much as you did.
As OPs our reach only goes so far and this website relies on reblogs in order for anything to truly get seen by a wider audience.
So that's really it! That's why I encourage these two things at the end of every story I post. Not because I'm trying to be demanding and "make people feel bad" if they don't do it.
I know most other social media sites encourage mindless content consumption and that's just the way of the world nowadays, but I am from a time when community was at the heart of fandom and I just don't want to lose that.
But what I'm trying to steer away from is being a passive content creator with passive consumers. What I want to steer toward is fostering a community that is essential to fandom. I want to see your reactions because it makes me feel like I'm a part of something.

Theoretically, in the wake of their chaotic evening off base, nothing has materially changed between Shisui and Itachi. In reality, Itachi’s pretty sure that everything has.
wanna be on your mind (stay there all the time) (shiita; pacific rim au; 3/4)
Theoretically, in the wake of their chaotic evening off base, nothing has materially changed between Shisui and Itachi. In reality, Itachi’s pretty sure that everything has.
Shisui’s never understood it, how one person could so effortlessly pull apart the strings holding him together and force all of his soft, complicated bits to come crashing down. The vulnerability he feels around Itachi is as frightening as it is intoxicating, especially considering how Itachi always seems to want even more of him.
Perhaps what scares Shisui the most is how mutual that feeling seems to be. From the start of their friendship, Shisui’s always been greedy about Itachi, never satisfied with being his closest friend, his most trusted confidant. When it comes to Itachi, he’s always wanted the world.
