This might be the most personal fic I’ve ever posted lol

I was busy so I forgot to share it here... but here it is!

writing status

I decided to ignore writer's block for daydream of light and dark and just kept typing down ideas and weird phrases on my draft...

ended up somehow conceiving an alternate version of what I was originally planning to do.............. I like the way it turned out so I'll try to tweak stuff and make it make sense with everything else

on the other hand, crossroads of the swirling wind is going smoothly, just rewriting some parts and seeing where it's okay to cut the next chapter. that might be done soon.

face the sun is... there. hehe, i'm writing the first few additional times *and* the chapter proper, i'm trying to get used to the dynamics of the managers and the players, although those will come out more once we reach the third selection and neo egoist league. speaking of which, i'm waiting to see the ending in the manga to know how to navigate it better.

I just felt like writing this here. Everyone take care and stay safe.

tiny writing status update

NOT UNRELATED TO LITERALLY EVERYTHING fam I think I'm figuring out time blocking

if i succeed i hope to update every fic in the next two months tops wish me luck i also have some upcoming work stuff that's looking pretty heavy but i'll do my besttt!!!

[daydream-butterfly]

writing status

i hit a bit of a wall due to ✨reasons✨ amongst which you will find i dumbly hurt my wrists kneading dough (😭) but as of today:

i started a new long fic for another fandom, piofiore. isekai-ish, key maiden (not lili)!reader x dante with reverse harem vibes.

i'm working on chapter 19 of daydream of light and dark, we are SO close to ending the first arc I PROMISE YOU GUYS I PROMISE WE'RE CLOSE

for face the sun, i'm editing and working on the remaining chapters of the first selection arc and the beginning of the second selection arc... ever since THAT THING happened to Nagi in the manga, I had to go back to my outline and poke around at some themes... but at least now this is ONE OUTLINE THAT IS ACTUALLY LISTENING TO ME :'D

i had genuinely forgotten how silly some (a lot) of the phrasing of my original paragraphs in crossroads of the swirling wind was. i'm working on editing that and deciding where the chapter ends HAHA but don't worry:

I'm still working on every fic on this list!!

I also have other drafts I'm having fun with, such as:

A modern, college AU for Xiao (Genshin Impact), half angst, half romcom (?)

Another modern AU for Xiao, but with a lowkey soft Yandere vibe. Emphasis on the soft, because it's more of a comedy than horror or drama honestly.

One that you may or may not have found if. If you dig in my older AO3 works. That one Yandere! Natsume (Ensemble Stars) fic. Believe it or not, I still want to finish it LMAO I still have the notes and remember how I wanted the ending to be like.

A series of short stories for various characters inspired on Tokimeki Memorial Girls' Side. The ones I have half done at the moment are: Xiao, Akechi, Dante, Reo and Isagi (because of course lol).

A Ryuki (Cupid Parasite) x Reader short story.

It's been a. Time. Yeah that's the best way I can put it. I think we've all been going through A Time.

Still, I hope you've managed to have fun with yourself and your loved ones just as I have (even if that fun included being defeated by dough).
