Gundam wishes he could be warmer, like Kazuichi:

Kazuichi wishes he could be colder, like Gundam:

God I literally can't believe how much I love BSO25, in the most recent chapter I lived so many emotions, the way I felt the excitement, the nerves, how I feel that growing crush and I myself feel butterflies in my stomach, that news shut me up like a bucket of cold water, and I felt that panic with the comparison to that bastard, I empathized A LOT with that anxiety attack, and I felt that comforting feeling when they were on the phone, and I can't express how SO MUCH I LOVE the way you build this universe, and these characters that feel so, so ALIVE, every time I looked at the previous chapters and read something like "I wrote too much!" I was thinking "why the apologies!! I would read a whole bible of them!!" Simply I feel like you have such a passion to bring this whole world and these new characters to life, I love them all and their contrasting yet harmonious personalities! You have a great talent for writing but I would say that it is surely due more to your effort and practice! I really would love for you to continue like this for a long time! And although I'm not in the fandoms of your most important projects of the moment, I will continue waiting for this as long as necessary, I'm sorry if it sounds exaggerated, but even this fic helped me through a hard time!! And I feel better now, I also love the empathy of two people who had shitty families, and kazuichi's feeling of having a found family! They are feelings so real that I can empathize with, And speaking of the fic in general, I love every time they bring sexuality or gender to the table, it feels natural, and despite the differences between countries I can still understand what they feel! I'm sorry if it's a lot to read, but I could write something about each chapter if I could! They are so rich in topics to talk about!!! I don't know how many people read what you write, but no matter how many there are, there should be more! I wish it would last forever, but I'll still have all the Patience in the world for the next chapter, sorry for my anxious comments, but I was looking forward to this having started your fic the other day! I say goodbye here, sorry for make you reading so much... ( Btw, english is not my first language, sorry for grammatical errors )

bye!!👋

publishing this so i can keep it forever 💜💜💜💜💜

Happy 30th birthday to Tanaka Gundam, I'm currently writing him going through an emotional and psychological breakdown and existential crisis.

Gundam receives some life-changing news, as well as some life-changing advice.

babe wake up, new bso25 just dropped

hi everyone, i’m not dead and neither is this fic.

in this chapter: some extremely gay conversations, dr. tanaka simping HARD, some adorable family time, some family drama, and lots of big, difficult conversations. today we are introduced to the ladies tanaka: umeko, usagi, and ranze. i hope they enrich your life as much as they have mine. this chapter goes pretty deep into The Gundam Mythos.

i hope this was worth the wait. exactly 25,000 words.

When I realized how close the word count was getting to 25k, I said fuck it and decided to make it 25k on the dot.

[saturninemartial]

omg...... i might actually be able to publish chapter 7 tonight!!!!!!!!!

[saturninemartial]

bso25 chapter 7 has officially surpassed chapter 6 in word count!

do you love soudam? do you crave a non-despair AU where everyone is grown? do you love reading fics with a lot of introspection and self-reflection? and people finding out that they're more alike than they thought as they get to know each other better? friends supporting each other through healing from trauma? adults getting to live out their best lives?

then boy do I have the fic for you.

bad side of 25.

the bso25 AU centers around class 77 as they each turn 30 and reunite. as this is primarily a soudam fic, the chapters alternate between kazuichi's and gundam's perspectives, as they each get through their own lives, while also becoming better friends (and falling in love) with the other. their own personal backstories are unraveled and unpacked. in the background, their former classmates and friends also have their own stories going on. background ships include (established) komahina, (established) soniaki, pekobuki, kuzunidai, (established) mikane, and mahiyoko.

there are fun friend times but also a lot of heavy emotional shit. grief, mourning, childhood trauma, self-realization and self-actualization, personal growth. I've made myself emotional while writing it lmao. much of the inspiration is drawn from turning 30 next year and thinking too much about life.

rated E for Eventually Spicy. ongoing, somewhat slow to update. first chapter is 4k words, most recent chapter (6) is 20k words. I post regular updates (and occasional spoilers) here on my blog.

please read and enjoy, this fic is a true labor of love. 💜
