Writer's Month 2023 Masterlist

MASTERPOST OF MASTERLISTS

Thank you for @writersmonth for the event! It was a bit difficult writing daily but I was glad that all the prompts don't exactly end on the very day it stars, makes it a lot less stressful admittedly.

I also found the prompts incredibly similar with each other so it did get hard a few times to not write the same idea I already did in the past, but I did try my best to still keep stuff distinct. All in all, a neat challenge!

I. blossom

II. perfume

III. seashells

IV. memories

V. poolside

VI. surf

VII. vacation

VIII. calls turned voicemails

IX. bleeding in an alleyway

X. indoor date and whiskey shots

XI. sweat

XII. lemonade

XIII. fan

XIV. bonfire ambiance

XV. blue was the nuclear bomb

XVI. out of energy

XVII. waves of pain and loathing

XVIII. free and lost in the city

XIX. the clouds turned grey

XX. the explosion was its own firework

XXI. at the bar collecting memories

XXII. forgetting sunscreen

XXIII. cuddles and storms

XXIV. summer blues

XXV. relax, or he so wanted to

XXVI. forgiveness can't be found that easily

XXVII. at the beach

XXVIII. falling brightly apart

XXIX. the stars were fireflies

XXX. to be happy

XXXI. petals that fall

Fanfic Friday I

I saw @inflarescent post these, and wanted to join in! Looks really fun <3

Rules: Share a fic you wrote that you are proud of! Moodboard optional!

the clouds turned grey

Takuto fell back on his bed. His brown eyes met the ceiling above him and he slowly drowned in his thoughts. He closed his eyes, but was engulfed by the lingering warmth of what he had left in his soul. Every wish he had in his heart somehow ended up with Rumi. He could still feel her presence in his apartment. He merely wanted to dream of her and smile.

And as certain as was his faith, he waited for Rumi to come home and shower him in love and stardust.

So I have been writing for @writersmonth as of late, and of course, Takuto Maruki is a joy to write (even if I hurt him and not give comfort in like, 90% of the fics I have of him lmao). I also love all the prose I have for my Maruki fics, so that's a neat gem to treasure.

tagging: no pressure! tagging @artekai @apostlearcana @sleepyowlwrites @charlottan @whumperofworlds and anyone who wants to <33

Word Count: 1.8k~

WIP Wednesday #2

WIP Wednesday is a series where I share my WIPs! They are mostly fandom-specific, with the occasional original work or poem. <3

title: late afternoon date with you - takuto maruki x zenkichi hasegawa (persona 5) - light angst / whump one-shot being created for Writer’s Month - feel free to read Chapter 1 here

Zenkichi rolled his head. Gray eyes falling on Takuto’s distressed face. “How’s Akane?”

“Got home early.” Takuto stated. Quick to answer knowing full well the intent behind the question. Avoidance was something he was far too acquainted with, more so when paired with neglecting his own well-being. “You aren’t leaving us so easily. And you know damn well I’m not taking chances with that wound, Zen. Gunshot wound or not.”

“Yeah,” Zenkichi mustered out a weak laugh. He honestly found Takuto’s worry a little bit amusing, even though it was slightly over the top. “If anything, I’m more sure you’d be the one to send me off to heaven than anyone or anything else.”

“You’re lucky I have more than enough patience. Otherwise, I may as well kill you here myself for worrying us.” Takuto tossed a quick, stern look before guiding Zenkichi into a seated position. For every hiss of pain from Zenkichi, Takuto mumbled an apology. "I'm gonna let someone fix up the wrap I did, then… I guess I'll figure out what to do next.” He sighed.

I do not allow reposts of my writing. Feedback, comments, and support for my writing on this blog and my Archive of Our Own are much appreciated!

[writing-prompt-s]

You somewhat jokingly make an offering to an ancient and obscure goddess. You didn’t expect her to show up in your room in a manic frenzy, trying desperately to reward and please her first worshipper in centuries.

[writing-prompt-s]

You’re a retired villian. You’ve been enjoying your peaceful life, but now a bunch of new villians are terrorising your land, and the heroes seem powerless against them. So you take up the mantle once again. After all, if you want someone properly killed, do it yourself.

[writing-prompt-s]

You used to be a powerful and feared supervillain, now retired and set for life. Now, there’s a 20-something at your door begging you to teach them to control their rare power since it’s the same as yours. They even know your villain name.

[writing-prompt-s]

You managed to retire from the supervillain game long ago, when you became a parent. Now, your grandchild has inadvertently been kidnapped by an upstart villain, and you’re about to show them why the world (rightfully) feared you.

Writer's Month 2023 VIII

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

SUMMARY (CHAPTER 1):

The kitchen air lingered with a watermelon aroma as Takuto finished up the last few preparations he needed for his and Zenkichi’s date in the upcoming summer afternoon. He had prepared sandwiches, a few bowls of different flavored fries, and fruit smoothies. A casual date. Zenkichi meanwhile had to do something quick at work. Takuto was fine waiting for him, but as the hours passed, the other man’s absence worried him. When Zenkichi’s phone went straight to voicemail, Takuto decided to investigate.

Pairing: HaseMaru | Takuto Maruki x Zenkichi Hasegawa (Persona 5)

Rating: Teen and Up Audiences (Hurt/Comfort)

Word Count: 1.6k~

Author's Note: Second chapter coming in the next few hours! I'm actually still writing this as I post this just so I can take the next few days a bit more chill (doing drabbles and ficlets as a break from short stories)

Writer's Month 2023 VII

SUMMARY (Chapter 1):

Why was he fighting at this point? Akira wondered if was worth staying in Takuto's modified reality. But thinking too much left him frustrated, annoyed, lost. He and Akechi went into the Laboratory, expecting nothing more than to get what they needed and leave. Yet it wasn't so easy when they were both pushed to their limits, Akira especially. Being alone only meant he was fighting everything around him, maybe even himself. Using Persona after Persona tor at his skin and flesh, and he refused any of the other Thieves' aid.

Pairing: all platonic | Persona 5 Protagonist and the Phantom Thieves, Persona 5 Protagonist and Goro Akechi, Persona 5 Protagonist and Yoshizawa (Persona 5 Royal)

Rating: Teen and Up Audiences (Hurt/Comfort; Graphic Depictions Of Violence)

Warnings: Implied self-harm and sleep deprivation; scars and detailed descriptions of it; descriptive violence; injuries and blood; friendly fire; Persona use causes injuries to their users

Word Count: 2.5k~

Writer's Month 2023 VI

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

SUMMARY:

Zenkichi didn’t know that the harsh stains on Takuto’s skin were the remnants of his messy mistakes. Most of the tale behind them, really. As he himself often didn’t remember when his own scars emerged, aside from the fact that it was from a rage he couldn’t explain. As for Takuto? He wanted to spill everything, tell Zenkichi how and when and where his scars came from. But with a morning so delicate at his fingertips, saying anything would shatter it. He just wanted to tell Zenkichi something. Was that too hard to do?

Pairing - HaseMaru | Takuto Maruki x Zenkichi Hasegawa (Persona 5)

Rating - Teen and Up Audiences (Hurt/Comfort)

Warnings - Implied self-harm and sleep deprivation; scars and detailed descriptions of it

Word Count - 1,530

Writer's Month 2023 V

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Summary:

Akira was leaving for Tokyo next week. And the days when he couldn’t sleep increased. Between the trial, being convicted without a second thought, and being sent to a massive city, drowning in a pool would be a decent way to clear his mind. Nobody would mind, and nobody would know.

Pairing - none | Persona 5 Protagonist-centric (Pre-Canon // Persona 5)

Rating - Teen and Up Audiences (Hurt/Comfort)

Warnings - Implied self-harm and sleep deprivation; drowning

Word Count - 1,200

Writer's Month 2023 IV

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Summary:

Escaping the interrogation was easier said than done. On paper, it didn’t take much from him. But in reality, when his body was fighting off far too many drugs and his head was better off being smashed against the wall, saying it was hard was a gross understatement. Akira just wanted to go home. He wanted to leave and never think about the grueling hours spent inside the interrogation room again. But it wasn’t so easy, was it?

Pairing - none | Persona 5 Protagonist-centric (November 20 Interrogation // Persona 5)

Rating - Teen and Up Audiences (Mild Hurt/Comfort; Detailed Whump)

Warnings - Graphic whump descriptions and themes (mild gore, blood and injury, referenced drug use, referenced torture)

Word Count - 2,000
