Hi! You can call me Haru! I am 26 years old, and I really like to write! Ace Combat is the main thing I’m into right now, but I have a bunch of things that I really like. If you really want to know what I’m into at the moment you can probably just scroll. Or go ahead and ask me, I’m not shy.
Right now, I’m only writing for Ace Combat, but again, I’m pretty open if you have any suggestions.
Rules for requests:
1. I don’t do smut.
2. If you want the ace in the story, and want them to be specific, please say so in the request. Otherwise, I’m just going to make them kind of generic.
3. I’m down with writing ships, gen, and x readers. I’m also not picky about what ships I write about.
4. I can’t guarantee how long they will be, or when they come out. I’m mostly doing this for fun, but there are times when I’m super busy and just don’t have the time to work on them.
5. I’m also going to post them on AO3 and Fanfiction.net unless you specifically ask me not to.

Meine Kneipe
October 1925. Five years after Osea officially prohibited the creation and distribution of alcohol. About six months since Trigger had to leave her home and accidentally stepped into the world created by the people breaking the law to do it anyway. The seedy world of bootlegging, speakeasies, and rum-running.
Still thinking about what a fucking fumble Sieten't did
He could have had a good relationship with Xing! He could have bested Siete in something he actually cares about: Having a good relationship with Seox!
Generational fumble tbh
Honestly! Could have taken that psychological warfare to the next level!
He had a boy who trusted him and looked up to him and even let him put him in an outfit that shows off his entire chest without a word of protest! Xing totally would have been down to accepting Sieten't as a benevolent figure in his life, regardless of his actual benevolence. But he had to reexamine his priorities!
But Sieten't could have had it all. Can you imagine how Seofon would have been fuming when Sieten't casually dropped that his Seox likes spending time with him?
Thinking about one of the rudest death scenes I've ever read, which had a character who had spent a long time plotting to obtain freedom and get to live her life according to her own wishes get brutally beaten to death by the main antagonist, beneath a magical shield that blocked all sound and kept them from view, while people passed by only a few feet away, unaware of the horror that was taking place and thus unable to help.
As if that wasn't worse enough, the entire time she kept thinking about how much she wanted to live and I think it's that vocalization of the struggle that really made it register as a cruel and unfair death, as a violent and untimely end.
Honestly, there's a lot to be learned from death scenes, good or bad, about why they work, why they don't, how they fit the themes of the characters involved, if it sticks with you.
Some characters, you feel kinda bad for when they die, because of their role or because you liked them, but it's not ultimately a big deal and doesn't stay with you for long, because the narrative moves on. Then there's those whose loss lingers like an open wound and everyone struggles to move around that loss. But it's easy to overdo those things too, or underdo them, if you're unwilling to let your characters be vulnerable about grief, and what is grief if not vulnerability, and then it comes off as shallow lip service, or just plain brooding. Because fiction is overflowing with dead parents and love interests and friends, but not all of them have the same impact.
It's largely agreed upon that in order to make a loss feel genuine, a character needs to have been given something, something they looked forward to, a sense of an actual life being lost, of hopes and aspirations snatched away. The more time you got to spend with a character, the more likely it is that you'll feel for their demise. Of course there's tricks to simulate depth, when you don't have time to really flesh them out and just need some cannon fodder to establish the villain of the week as truly formidable and heinous, but really, nothing will beat the genuine gut punch of having an established character ripped away. Having your characters grief is one thing, but the audience is likely to feel more for a familiar face than some no-name NPC getting ripped to shreds, no matter how much you try to make up for heart with blood.
The character I think about was a part of the main supporting cast for nine books, a small-scale antagonist in her own right and a POV character for several chapters, even. That's pretty harsh.
While I can recognize that her arc was basically done when she died, having successfully negotiated her freedom with the protagonists, it still at least felt like she had enough to look forward to for her end to feel jarring and sudden and stick with me, even after years and many other books and stories.
Lucina runs from Chrom after she first meets him most likely because she was overwhelmed by seeing him alive and okay again and she wasn’t sure if she could manage to maintain her disguise, but on a Chrobin run, it cracks me up to think that it was also because she took in her mom and dad in a glance and instantly knew that they barely knew each other at this point in time, and she ran away to process the fact that she had traveled so far back in time that she was now in for the most excruciating season of Fantasy How I Met Your Mother
