what are you gonna be writing? like what kinda fics do you wanna write? btw you're awesome
Aww thanks!! That's very kind :']
Right now I'm working on a really long fic, and by "really long" I mean this is the outline so far
Hahaha...oh boy
It's an au/canon rewrite where, like Joshua, Sho could see the UG while he was alive! The first half follows him from childhood where he's this cheerful, adventurous, but somewhat sensitive little kid who's ostracized by his peers for his "strange" behavior, talking or reacting to things that seemingly aren't there, telling wild, elaborate stories about strange wolves and bears and even elephants that roam the city, boasting about this to everyone he meets and not understanding why they start to look at him oddly afterwards. In a way, the UG functions as a metaphor for (specifically undiagnosed) neurodivergencey. It's this big, omnipresent thing that Sho can't understand and which isolates him from the people around him. There's no one in his life who knows what he's going through, no one he can confide in who wouldn't just call him crazy.
Until the day he bumps into a Reaper. He takes pity on the poor kid, and tells him a censored version of what's happening. It's enough to reassure him that he isn't crazy...and to stoke his curiosity. The Reaper tells him that he'll be watching. He's a stargazer, and likes to keep an eye on the stars that shine the brightest.
Basically it explores how Sho might've become the person he is in canon and then carries on through to neo where I can finally fulfil my year long dream of giving him the redemption arc I was so convinced was gonna happen the first time I played it. I've been plotting this thing out since last year when I finished my first playthrough of neo and now I'm hoping to be able to start writing it sometime in May! It's a bit of an ambitious project, but I've written long projects before back when I had chronic eye pain and could only write 1-2 hours on a good day. In comparison this'll be a cakewalk! I think.
