I'm the worst type of ff writer: the one who starts a new fic and then disappears leaving it incomplete-- (& then comes back again and starts a new one that will end up being another incomplete project) ughhh
Sorry guys.
Edamura Makoto
Edamura Makoto couldn't give a person the exact date he decided to change his last name. He could; however, say why. Ozaki Makoto was naive, a child that was ignorant of the outside world, of the dangers that people hid behind a masked persona. Of the lies, people could and would say to save their own skin, their inability to care for others even when they acted it. And so, as Ozaki Makoto, the third year in middle school, watched his father's face being shown on national TV, a part of him broke. The memories he created with the man that was his father rushed to him in a single moment. Ozaki Seiji was the man who called for justice to rain down on the evil, the one who protected the rights of others, and the lawyer who came out on top. The father who showed Makoto how to play soccer, who taught him to read, reminded him to study hard to make a name for himself and the one who became his role model now stood alongside law enforcement, not as a lawyer, but as a criminal.
Ozaki Makoto was afraid of the paternal name that haunted him in his future. The constant tie to being the son of a heinous criminal who had no heart. Ozaki Makoto wanted to scream at the top of his lungs and tell them that the Ozaki Seiji standing on trial was not the father he knew. He didn't know anything about his involvement in human trafficking; he didn't know of the lies his father told other children to trust him. He didn't know why his father chose that life instead of the one with his family. He didn't know.
But he wanted to.
Every morning after Ozaki Seiji's trial, he fought with himself, unsure if he wanted to question the man who was now behind bars and would stay there for 10 years. (1)
10 years.
Would that even be enough to repent for the crimes committed? Makoto thought not. 10 years would not be enough for destroying the lives of countless children and his own family. None of those 10 years would amount to anything in the eyes of the young man. For the next month, Ozaki Makoto turned from the most social student in his school to a quiet young man until he could no longer take the anger that had built up. The stress of having to pay for the hospital bills of his mother, the constant whispers of classmates and teachers. The recognition of others when they heard his family name, it sent him to a world of hurt. He found himself home from school for a week, ignoring text messages from concerned friends, the calls from teachers asking if he needed anything. For that one week, he sold, disposed of, or destroyed anything that had to do with the name Ozaki. Somewhere in his mind, he knew his mother would be angry at what he was doing, but he would explain it to her later, his anger, confusion, sadness, and hurt. But here and now, he just didn't want anything to do with the surname Ozaki. He quickly grabbed a pair of scissors from his desk and made his way to where he knew his mother kept her scrapbooks. However, before he could get rid of the Ozaki in the pictures, he began to cry. Tears ran down his cheeks. He wanted to know where the father happily smiling with family went. He wanted to know what caused his father to do such a thing to a child.
He wanted to know why he didn't choose Makoto.
That was how his mother found him when she arrived home from the hospital. Curled up with the last picture they took together as a family. Ozaki Miki looked around the house she had once shared with her family, looked back at the happy memories they created under one roof, and now she looked at how much hurt it gave her only son to live in the house brought by who knows what money. She made a decision then and there to release her son of all those thoughts, to begin a life where no one would whisper about them. Within the next two days, as she sent the young man to school, she called a real estate agent to help her sell her home and look for an apartment where she and her son could live anew.
They got that chance, but only for a moment.
All of the wishes they had to start a new life was just that, wishes. It wasn't long before Ozaki Miki fainted again and was placed in the hospital until her death.
Everything seemed to go downhill for Makoto, the incarceration of his father, the death of his mother, and the wrongful conviction of his part in Kudo's shop. He knew at that moment, he had nothing left to lose. If society wanted to keep pushing him down into the gutter, he would rise from said gutter and make a name for himself; no more Ozaki Makoto. He wouldn't be tied back to that man.
Not ever.

Note on A Different Beginning
This is a note to tell you all that I am currently rewriting chapters 1 through 11. I will be changing to 3rd person from the 1st person I have been doing. Information will also be changed so please to fit the story line and ending I have planned.
The first chapter has been completed and second is in the works. They will updated once all chapters (1 to 11) are completed.
Sorry for the inconvenience, this was a decision I made as an author in hopes that you would be able to enjoy the story to its fullest.
Ottoman Empire AU Version 2
This will be Attack on Titan characters.
Not all characters will be listed.
So, this has been on my mind recently and I just wanted to share it one here since I will probably not be doing anything with it.
Keep in mind this is a loose version of what the Ottoman Empire used to be so I will be creative liberties and play around with it; however, I will try to be accurate with the titles each individual would have been called during the time. The full or short titles will be shown below and in parenthesis the translation of what it means. Also correct me if I am wrong on any of them.
Also I understand that religion played a key role during the Ottoman Empire, but because I do not practice the same religion it will not be really present in the idea just because I don’t want to use the incorrect information nor get any detail wrong. If any of you have knowledge on the religion please post it in the comments.
Thank you.
P.S. This is following the one child per concubine rule and how Janissaries took children and trained them to be faithful to the Sultan. Another key point, girls were brought to the Harem of the Sultan at a young age, a little before puberty started and never from aristocratic families. I am also taking into account that a sister to a sultan can act as Queen Mother to her brother (I am not sure if this counts to younger or older sister though).
So yeah, here we go, two (2) different ways at how this can go.

Description:
From the moment Isane Sultana was born to Carla it was a day of celebration for the first-born princess of the reigning Sultan. However, it was also a sad day for Carla Baş İkbâl as the moment she gave birth to a princess she would be labeled as weak to the Empire. She was born five years after her half-brother and four years older before her twin half-siblings. She could see in which direction Zeke would leading the Empire in, he only sought for war and the conquering of more land when she and her Father knew the time to conquer was over. If he continued on the path, it would lead to the destruction of the Empire their ancestors have built. She saw the only choice but to fight for her younger brother, Armin’s, claim to the throne by whatever means necessary. Taking advantage of Zeke governing his province and his mother away with him, she, along with the help of Historia, have enacted a plan to fight against the corrupted political army Zeke and Dina had created long ago. Even if it means she will have to destroy her honor and become a traitor the Empire.

Description:
Born into the most powerful family, Şehzade Sultan Eren finds himself in a war for the throne of his father. While it is something that he himself has no desire in inheriting it is either he takes it or he faces the executioner as soon as her elder brother, the heir apparent, takes control of the empire. While the two brothers barely speak, due to their ten-year difference and the elder governing a province, it is common knowledge that the two have different views on how to lead the empire. Either the empire decides to follow Valiahd-i Saltanat Şehzade-i Javanbahd Zeke who is favor of tyrannical control and with the Beylik behind him. Or fight to crown the younger prince of eighteen, who is in favor of the commonwealth and freedom of his people with the Ajemi supporting him. While the Cemaat has stayed neutral up to this point, they are put to the test as the declining health of the Sultan is nearing his death. However, it isn’t just the Janissaries infighting, but the Palace is in disarray as the two Princes' mothers fight for their children to be placed on the throne no matter the consequences.

Chapter 3 of Forgive Me (formally known as Princess or Soldier?) is up!
Are you going to continue the Princess or Soldier fanfic?
I am. I still have ideas for it, and I already had the timeline planned out so it is on the continuation process but I will be rereading some stuff form the manga and rewatching some points in the anime to describe some scenes. Yeah, I am really sorry for the wait.

@animefan1998-love you asked for an accountant!Deku and here it is. So I did some changes since my long oneshot wasn’t working as much as I wanted it to. Instead, I will be doing three more short one-shots of this AU, all placed at different moment in time. I think, the next one-shot should be done within 2-3 weeks.
PS. sorry for the long wait.
