I am not Tumblr proficient so this is my first time trying to do this kind of thing, but I have several things coming up that I have planned for this story so I realized I think I really wanted to make and pin a post that will have links to all my floating Come Home Safe Extras. (plus easy to find for anyone that finds and follows me later and wants to read all of it)
About Me
My name is Kat, 32 years old, She/Her.
My physical Condition: I have a chronic illness called Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome where all the connective tissue in my body is defective and has an elastic consistency instead of strong and supportive. Lots and lots of things go wrong with my body because of the defect.
My Hobbies: So for that reason, I spend 90% if not all of my time in a specialized zero-gravity chair writing (mostly fanfiction but I have in progress original works, too)
Commissions: I have some major changes happening in my life and I'd love to try doing some? Art / Writing requests both are accepted. I have never done one before so please be very patient and clear with your request! I get easily mixed up!
Chat / Conversation: This might be a bit pathetic but truth be told, I really am always looking for new friends (I am currently going through some hardships in life)! Please reach out any time in messages to start a conversation with me! I'm very passive and love engaging conversation!

Summary:
For Most people, Kaiju are their greatest fear. But for others, there's a fear that far surpasses that. A fear of daily life. Estella Nakao was an underdog just when it comes to surviving, barely stumbling through life.
Until hope shows up in a very unexpected way.
But who knows what a little hope will actually cost.

Since this fic is so long, I do not want anyone to be caught off guard on the direction this story goes so here's a spoiler-free high level story expectation:
Members of the Third Division surprise the First Division with an arrival for an important meeting while the Undergraw Platoon gets up to some messy trouble.
Chapter Preview
Cece’s grin widened as she broke through the Third Division crowd. “I know your weakness you little punk.”
Hasegawa gasped as he saw what she was doing. “Undergraw – “
She grabbed the back of Vice-Captain Hoshina’s jacket and yanked him around in front of her, blocking all visual to her last unhit target on her chest.
Hoshina, however, just rolled with the shenanigans, not even pulling his hands out of his pockets as he lazily asked, “are you usin’ me as a meatshield right now?”
“What a cowardly move, Cece. I’d expect nothing less.” Estella teased her friend.
Narumi had finally recovered from Hasegawa’s strike and sat up. He now stared at the scene in front of him in confusion as Cece shouted, “Time’s a tickin’ STELLARaem. I know you won’t take a shot and risk hittin’ your dearly beloved Vice-Captain. Surrender and take the loss!”
Narumi uttered, “....wait...wait a minute...”
Cece continued looking over Hoshina’s shoulder, trying to see if she could see any sign of her. But all she got was her scoffing in her ear, “Risk? You of all people know there is no risk of me missing.”
The amount of emotional breaks I've been having to take while writing Arc 5 is wild. There's like... a lot. But I hope that it comes across well for the readers, too <3 <3
"There's no thought crimes and no thought heroisms" is honestly such a good piece of life advice.
You could be having the most fucked up problematic thoughts 24/7 but if you treat people with kindness, the good you do is the only thing that matters. But if you have only the purest thoughts and all the correct beliefs, it doesn't matter one bit if you spend most of your time being an asshole to people.
I have hit my peak as a writer in the last 48 hours. Two long reaction comments in one day. One of my favorite readers from early arcs showed back up. AND I got my first ever ask request.
I'm on cloud nine. You guys are seriously the best <3
I’m both pro herbal medicine and pro vaccination because you can treat burns with aloe vera juice and sore throats with lavender infused honey but you can’t rid a country of polio with plants.
Let's not talk about that heavy desire to personally apologize to all of the readers you know you let down because you ran out of steam (or a new hyperfixation took it's place)...
