Happy Kay Day!!

Today is the random ass day chosen to celebrate the most wonderful author, kayr0ss!

Several months ago, I happened across a fic that had been suggested a few times, but I was reluctant to start it- the fic was Zoerumi only and I had been up until that point a staunch supporter of Polytrix (Do Not Separate). But after numerous recommendations, a delightfully beautiful comic by the illustrious chrysa3tos, and running out of polytrix fics- yes at that time it was possible, I read on your side (let’s go to a wedding).

It’s a sweet and wonderful story that I’ve gone back to again and again. Not only is Kay’s writing easy and fun to read, it’s filled with humor and moments that feel so human. On top of that, despite being a Zoerumi focused fic, Mira felt just as important and included in their lives and relationship.

And then there’s Kay’s OCs. I have never been a fan of the use of original characters in fic (honestly I think I have the tag filtered on tumblr), but in this fandom with so few characters to work with you almost have to if you want a larger story to be told. But I found myself falling in love with Zoey’s family in OYS- they were real and well rounded. Aside from OYS, there’s also Yeon-so, Zoey’s not-so-little brother in Wolfish Behavior. He’s goofy and funny and teasing in all the ways a little brother should be. Kay has a way of making original characters feel like they have always belonged there, while most importantly adding to the canon characters depth and story. They draw you further in, rather than taking you out of it and they never feel out of place. In fact, I have found myself wanting to know more and more about these characters.

In addition to being the Master of Fluff, holy shit can she write smut. 115 floors and toro, toro are… mind meltingly great reads if you’re looking for some spice. Her drabbles have literally caused mass gay hysteria across the globe multiple times (you may think I am joking- I’m not).

And then there is Wolfish Behavior, my beloved. I seriously need everyone to read this fic. I cannot recommend it enough. Rumi, Zoey, and Mira are delightfully gay idiots, the fluff is warm and sweet, the underlying heartbreak sneaks up in you, the long term plot is compelling, and god is it so fucking funny. I have never laughed so hard, made the sound of a keysmash out loud, or physically vibrated as much as I have while reading this story. I have loved every second of it and I cannot wait to see how it unfolds.

And then there is Kay herself. Much of her personality is reflected in her work- she’s sweet and funny and incredibly brilliant. It has been wonderful to get to know her these past few months and a privilege to call her a friend, which I hope to have for many years.

HAPPY KAY DAY- go read a kork (Kay+work) today!
