ART BY OUR WONDERFUL @jui-imouto-chan-art!! BETA READ BY SHAN!!

[sakuraminibang]

This is my piece for the Sakura Centric Mini-Bang, for an amazing fic by @sandradaffodils called A Festival, A Kiss, and a Birthday Wish, beta'd by Shan!

It was a doozy getting this done and my art does not do the fic justice, but I hope everyone enjoys!! Thank you to my partners and the mod team for all your support and hard work, it's been a blast! It's great seeing all the works made for our lovely Sakura <3

Behind them, their shadows show hands, implied to be Suo and Nirei’s from their past lives, reaching out towards Sakura’s jacket. /End ID]

My first Wind Breaker piece!! So excited to work with the writer, Robin, for the @sakuraminibang!! She was so sweet and helped me narrow down the idea for this piece. Another shoutout to @kokoroshiki, fellow artist and one of the mods, for helping out so much with beta-ing! Everyone in the bang is super duper talented, and I’m so happy there are so many new Sakura-centric fics to read and fanarts to look at right now!! Check out the collection here!

My piece for the Sakura Centic Mini Bang is finally finished and can be read here.

Its a story about allowing yourself to explore your identity and your interests in search of happiness and self-confidence and the people who will give your the comfort and safety to do that. Sakura and Tsubaki are the main characters but Kotoha and Shizuka, as well as the other Bofurin boys, also play important roles!

Thank you to the mods of the mini bang for putting all this together and to fend for their amazing artwork! It really brings the fic to life and perfectly captures the mood of the scene. Please show them some love!

Introducing: New Balance <- (click 2 read)

Do YOU like slice of life?? Hurt/Comfort? Sakura backstory angst? Whump? Side characters? I have the fic for you, and I wrote it for the 2025 Sakura-Centric Mini Bang (@sakuraminibang). It's called New Balance and it has all of these things AND!!!

Art by the EXTREMELY talented Dom (@domdom-draka)!!! And this is their linktree! I cannot stress enough how lucky I feel to have been paired up with such an awesome and artistically-inclined individual, Dom was a joy to work with on my first first collaboration piece. It's about Sakura getting a concussion and subsequently struggling through a week that is seemingly out to get him, luckily with a lot of friends connections to help him while he tries to get back on his feet. Please check out our super awesome piece!!!

If you'd like to read the fic, click the link above! Dom's art is embedded there as well. If you'd like to support Dom, follow the linktree.

sakura's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad valentine's day

"I see," he mumbles. "They l-l—" he struggles to get the word out, and Hiragi kindly swallows back his laughter. "Shut up. They like me, even if I'm just their friend." "You're not just their friend, Sakura," Hiragi corrects gently. "You're their friend, and they love you. Full stop." For a moment, Sakura feels a sharp twist in his heart, his eyes stinging. He pushes the feeling down, swallowing the lump in his throat, and nods tersely.

or, five times someone shows sakura they love him + one time sakura returns it

New Balance - Sakura Mini Bang 25 Event

"The concept of needing, asking for, and ultimately accepting help is already terrifying to Sakura Haruka even without a head injury. This week is pulling no punches. Sakura gets really dizzy, dabbles in opening up, takes a tumble, and Kotoha saves the day. Mostly in that order."

I have partnered up with the wonderful Kenna ( @temporary-joyride @write-something-new-again ) to illustrate its awesome fic for the @sakuraminibang event!!! PLS GO CHECK IT OUT:

Sakura Centric Mini Bang

Time for my main art for Sakura Centric Mini Bang! I had the pleasure of working with the amazing @lameykindaworld to create this part of the project.

I designed the full tattoo of Sakura and Suo, the book cover, and their concept. It was fun to work on and I'm glad I had the chance to be a part of it.

Here is my contribution to the Sakura Mini Bang Event of 2025!! The Furin Trio causes much more chaos in the kitchen in my lovely partner @probably-flowers-and-cats's fic "The Kitchen Disaster(s)," so don't miss it!
