Hi there! I'm MJ (though you can also call me august)! Finally making a post to compile all my fic-related goings on. I'm primarily a Steddie writer, with some gen friendship fics and other Stranger Things pairings thrown in there.
Though I don't have a general tag list, I am always happy to add folks to ones for specific fics. Just let me know!
I always enjoy being tagged in writing games, and my asks are open. Feel free to drop me a line!
Artworks, podfics, and translations are welcome, but please be sure to tag me (mostly because I would love to see them)!

I watched the live action version of "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" on Youtube and I was not ready for the utter lack of emotions from the CGI animals.

Also, in CGI this song called "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" does not take place at night.
I mean, I never would have had the guts to talk to Vic back then. I was finally cool with myself, but sharing that part of myself with someone else, that was a whole other thing. But eventually, I… I did it. You know, I told someone.
