Hi there! He're my stuff!

Welcome to my blog, where I post mainly about the fanfics I've written and posted on AO3, some other stuff I've been working on, and reblog all sorts of things. Hope you have a good time! You can also find the stuff I've been tinkering with on https://athenaslilowl.gitlab.io.

Below's a list of fanfics and other stuff I've been working on.

Fanfiction

I usually write one-shots, multi-chapter fics tend to be rare. The vast majority is also canon-compliant. Here a selection of my works, sorted by fandom.

Two Lost Souls Swimming In A Fishbowl https://archiveofourown.org/works/58803958 2.4k words In which Cio daydreams about a small quiet house with lots of plants and wrangles with herself whether to follow Allison.

A series of liturgy-like fanfics https://archiveofourown.org/series/5152356 (6 works) Some highlights: Prim Walks the Road https://archiveofourown.org/works/66073999 8.5k words, 3 chapters In which Prim walks the road and learns to understand it a little better.

Arcane

Beneath the Fabrics https://archiveofourown.org/works/56147743 4.6k words What if Vi had a self-harming past she hides underneath the bandages constantly wrapped around her forearms. What if Cait stumbles upon that fact. Mind the tags.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

Stargazing https://archiveofourown.org/works/53514838 7k words Rescued from Horde Prime's ship, Catra wakes from a nightmare and goes looking for Adora, whom she finds stargazing. A canon-compliant missing scene set after the events of "Save the Cat" and "Don't Go".

Happily Ever After https://archiveofourown.org/works/77235951 2.8k words The stories will tell you how the adventures start and how the heroes get there and that they lived happily ever after. But what the stories don’t really tell you about is… What I call the ‘what then’. It’s quite simple, really. It goes something like this: And then? What then? What comes after the happily ever after? Or: With the news of SPOP leaving Netflix making the rounds, I say my goodbyes.

A collection of r/OkBuddyCatra crack fics https://archiveofourown.org/series/3797278 (7 works) Stupid, imbecilic, infantile, immature, impolite, inconsistent, inconsiderate, out-of-character, rude, crude, vulgar, and explicit crack fics. Frankly, no reasonable person should be reading this. That being said, please enjoy.

Baron & Zombie is releasing!

It's my Cold War Urban Fantasy novel, serializing now on RR, Scribblehub, and my own website. I'm so proud to be putting it out there, and while I doubt there'll be a ton of traffic via Tumblr, I still wanna brag about it briefly. :3

RR: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/177064/baron-zombie-cold-war-urban-fantasy

Scribblehub: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/2416502/baron--zombie-cold-war-urban-fantasy/

Website: https://baronandzombie.com/

The BLURB:

Prestige is power. Toil for the gods, make a wish, and receive a miracle.

New York City, the spring of 1952. Secular power is ascendant, and atomic weaponry casts a long shadow over the Earth. Yet secret cults still influence the course of nations. Cultists pull strings and slit throats, using money and magic to empower their vast conspiracies.

An elite Soviet assassin vanishes with the Cat o’ Nine Lives, an ancient artifact which grants its bearer the right to die nine deaths. In desperation, a waning faction of the Soviet cult hires the ageless madman-philosopher Baron d’Holbach and his invincible right hand, the Zombie. Their task? Recover the artifact in secrecy, on American soil, before the world learns the Cat is gone.

If they fail, then a carefully managed balance of power will collapse, the Cold War will turn hot, and nuclear armageddon will soon follow.

Despite the stakes, they won’t be welcome in the halls and temples of the gods. They are living relics, responsible for diminishing the power of magic in the world, and the Baron in particular is reviled for interfering in occult politics. But the Zombie insists—they will interfere, and if the Baron dies during their mission, the Zombie will bury the world along with him.

Baron & Zombie is a historical urban fantasy set in the early Cold War, in an age when magic is waning and technology is ascendant, and old forces move once again to decide the fate of nations.

What to expect:

Think of a le Carré spy novel and urban fantasy action in a modern style.

Complicated Cold War politics, where no side seems right but your own.

Realistic treatment of a magical alt Earth with deep history and myth.

Philosophy. Steep odds demand moral choices.

6 chapters release today, one per hour, with the 8 following chapters already available on Patreon, for a total of 14 right now. Over the next two weeks, I'll release another 10 chapters, and then we'll settle into a Wednesday / Saturday release cadence until the book finishes, totaling 270k words.

Early access to chapters will continue to be available throughout its serialization, from June 29th to November 25th, 2026. I'll keep a running total of 8 additional chapters, 4k to 6k in length, for an average of 40k early words. You can also subscribe to the Patreon free just to get notifications and updates.

As B&Z nears completion, I'll start posting early access to my already finished sci-fi epic, Love and Extinction in Equal Measure, so stay tuned for that as well!

If you don't like reading on Patreon itself, you can log into my book website using the Patreon button at the bottom of the front page. My book site includes its own Wordpress comments and light and dark reader modes!

Went to see what I thought would be the classic Ghost In The Shell movie. Instead, evidently it was a screening of the first few episodes of the new Ghost In The Shell show with a bit of making-of documentary afterwards.

To the gentleman who wrote the soundtrack for the show, particularly for the scene when Motoko falls out of a window and who said in the documentary that he is wondering what the world will think of his soundtrack: You fucking nailed it. 10/10. No notes. Excellent. Perfection. It *fucked*.

My KSBD liturgy-like fanfics

Here's a collection of what I've been tinkering with :)

Aesma and the Beetle

https://archiveofourown.org/works/63510571

Hansa was an incessant questioner of YISUN. So, lighting his pipe, he asked: "Lord, what is the essence of living?"

1.3k words.

Prim Walks the Road

https://archiveofourown.org/works/66073999/chapters/170273389

Prim walked the road. She had been walking for aeons; for so long that time passing had lost its weight. She had walked ragged and tattered so many shoes and boots and sandals and wrappings that she had lost count. Not that she had been counting in the first place; footwear came and went. To Prim, time had become but another step to walk past. Once that had happened, she trod on. She had the road ahead of her and the road in her back and the road under the soles of her feet, and so she strut on, bare-footed and ever-marching, bent towards the horizon and accustomed to the dirt and dust between her toes and the callouses and cuts and blisters and bruises in her skin and all the other gifts which the branches and stones and rocks under her feet kept giving her. --- Prim walks the road and learns to understand it a little better.

(With a small dash of Prim/Aesma.)

8.5k words in 3 chapters.

Het's Lines

https://archiveofourown.org/works/70562961

“In other circumstances, I would greet you heartily and bid you welcome,” said Het, “but in this place and on this day, it would do better to wish you far away from these forsaken lands.” --- The story of when Het met Prim on the road again.

4.1k words.

Het and the Cherry Tree

https://archiveofourown.org/works/71486056

830 words.

The Hunter and the Yelenoshena

https://archiveofourown.org/works/72285916

“This is Yelenoshena,” spoke YISUN, and everyone listened, “a creature most elusive and shy. It is said that she may evade any trap, arrow, bullet, and hunter, for it is I who says it. And I furthermore say that whoever shall catch her first shall receive their wish granted, whatever it may be.” YISUN calls for an impossible hunt to stir things up a little.

3k words.

Ryam's Last Student

https://archiveofourown.org/works/72764611

Prim and the Blessings of YISUN

https://archiveofourown.org/works/86666286

But little Prim, worn from the long day and the hard work tending to her father and his visitors, had quite enough of quiet obedience and servitude. “No,” she yelled and clenched her little fists and stomped her little feet, “I shall not. I am tired, and I’ve done enough, and I’ve had enough.” The story of Prim having enough of servitude.
