Answered asks re: OCs For fanfiction and no specified character stuff I’ve done my writing tag is mongoose writes sometimes
A couple other Cal stories on my vanilla AO3
I do take prompts if they’re kinda vague and if you don’t mind me possibly taking eons to fill them! Also if you ever ever have questions or curiosities about any of my characters please feel free to send me an ask or message me — I write lots of things I won’t post on here for a long time and a lot of things I won’t post here at all due to being either vanilla or completely substanceless indulgence, but I’m happy to share and chatting about Cal is my favorite thing ever.
Below the cut is an amazing rendition @stop/sense did of the artbreeder I made for Cal
