Trai ✨34, she/her ✨ panromantic ace

Hi, everyone! As a writer, I wanted to make a pinned post so folks can access my work easily if they so wish.

Ao3: haveloved

My main fandoms I write for are:

Star Trek AOS, primarily McKirk [and some TOS too!]

Final Fantasy VII, primarily Cloti, with a strong focus on asexual and genderfluid Cloud and bi-for-bi Cloti

Trigun, fairly evenly split so far between Vashwood, Meryl/Milly, and gen pieces that focus on the relationships between all four characters. I also write a lot of fics focused on TriMax Meryl!

As an asexual and bi+ creator, much of my work can be read through that lens. Grief/mourning and emotional hurt/comfort are also strong themes in my work, as someone who went through a significant loss in early childhood.

Not all of my older work is on Ao3, but you might remember me as a Doctor Who (primarily Doctor/Rose) writer from the 2010s.

If your lover lives in Hong Kong and cannot get to Chicago, it will be necessary for you to go to Hong Kong. Perhaps you will spend your life there, and never see Chicago again. And you will, I assure you, as long as space and time divide you from anyone you love, discover a great deal about shipping routes, airlines, earthquake, famine, disease, and war. And you will always know what time it is in Hong Kong, for you love someone who lives there. And love will simply have no choice but to go into battle with space and time and, furthermore, to win.

first look

[trans-masked]

If you’re not a trans woman you need to get way more comfortable with trans women talking about issues that don’t affect you. If you’re not a trans man you need to be ok with trans men talking about their own experiences that don’t affect you. If you’re not non binary you need to stop being weird about nonbinary people talking about the poor treatment they get for being nonbinary. If you’re not intersex you need to stop inserting yourself into conversations that aren’t about you and begging to be centered. Everyone get less self centered NOW!!!!

Stargazing from No man’s land

For a long time I’ve thought about how light pollution would be very low and maybe almost non existent on some parts of no man’s land. The views of the night sky would be incredible with being able to see so many stars

pretty sure this is exactly how lessons at qifrey's atelier go

saying "question mark?" and "however comma," out loud are game changers. punctuation on the go. and it's always the funniest thing that anyone around you has ever heard

[ymas00]

This reminds me of the guy who dictated a row with his mother on a crowded train. "Mother Exclamation Mark How many times have I told you to stop interfering Question Mark And yet here you are comma doing it all over again Exclamation Mark." etc - it went on for a good 20 minutes.

"Mother Exclamation Mark!" has totally entered my vocabulary since 😂
