"Sure thing! Is there any chips you want to have or...any bread or dessert, just in case?" Kisho asked as he had a basket full of snacks in it. Taking a break from studying would be good. Kisho has a feeling that it's going to be a long night again. And honestly...he doesn't mind. He loves sharing knowledge with people who can see spirits.

"Do you want any...uh...pocky, melon bread, cream puffs, meat buns or what do you prefer?" Kisho asked.

Miko was laughing a little while she was talking back, enjoying the light conversation even hearing the laughter as they walked. Yuji keeps following behind but made sure to stay quiet. Miko saw him getting everything even seeing some shrimp-flavored chips. She looks seeing the drinks but was happy he was going to get her a drink.

"H..Hey Kisho? Did you want to get some snacks for us too? So when we are taking a break from studying, we can eat something before continuing? Did you want anything?" she asked wanting to repay him for the kindness.

Fic writer meme! I was tagged by @mihrsuri

(I’ve been writing fic for absolutely ages but I’m only doing my AO3 fics here)

AO3 name: ruffboi

Fandoms: Currently Writing In: The Witcher. 

Others on my account that I’ve written for in the past... The Adventure Zone, MCU, Rent, Hamilton, Sports Night, Doctor Who, Marvel 616, Homestuck, Next Avengers, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, Newsflesh, Firefly, World of Warcraft

Number of fics: 29

Fic I spent the most time on: Before now I would’ve had to think about it, but 100% it’s And Yet, Here We Are. I have spent so long on it the past few weeks. Holy shit.

Fic I spent the least time on: It’s hard to be sure because it’s been like 8 years since I wrote it, but I’m pretty sure Hardened Criminals (Firefly ficlet) is probably the one I just pounded out in like 10 minutes tops.

Longest fic: And Yet, Here We Are, with 14,107 words. I don’t usually do longfic, AND YET, HERE WE ARE!

Shortest fic: Hardened Criminals, 205 words. It was just a little advent ficlet iirc.

Most hits: How Darcy Lewis Kissed All The Avengers, with 3,197, which was me just being silly and cracky back in like 2012 (I hope AYHWA passes it one day...)

Most kudos: Sturdy, Denim, and Blue, with 515. my TAZ Balance cracky little AU where Barry is secretly a tiefling and his bluejeans are enchanted to disguise him as a human. And he doesn’t tell the Starblaster crew for like over 50 years. XD

Most comment threads: And Yet, Here We Are, with 74, which is nearly twice my second-highest. Y’all literally are the best and it is so encouraging and that’s how I’m still managing to work on it even with a 2-weeks-and-counting sinus headache. <3

Most bookmarks:  Sturdy, Denim, and Blue, with 94. AYHWA is closing on it fast, though.

Total word count:  79578 words

Favourite fic I wrote: And Yet, Here We Are, unsurprisingly at this point. Seriously, I’m really happy with this one and it’s satisfying to work on, and... honestly, the fact that I’ve gotten so many comments and so much feedback on it is DEFINITELY PART OF THAT. Toss a comment to your writers, oh fandom of plenty...

Fic you want to rewrite/expand on: Hmmm, that’s hard. I think probably if I could ever get back there, I’d love to expand and rewrite Autumn Days That Make You Feel Sad, because it was one of my best fics for a long time. Got nominated for an award back in the days that some big fandoms (and Doctor Who specifically) would have like. Fanfic awards and shit. I’m still pretty proud of it, though.

Share a bit of a WIP or a story idea you’re planning on: Hmmmmmm, ok so this one is gonna not be live for a WHILE bc of AYHWA and also because I’m planning to actually FINISH IT before I post it, bc I’ve got an outline and everything (gasp!), but here, have a chunk of the first chapter that I have written:

It was better than being alone, with the gaping ache in his chest as he tried to find his way to something that would fill the empty loneliness, that he'd felt every time he was without Geralt. But he’s done. He’s washed his hands of Geralt of fucking Rivia, and he’s glad of it.

Except that he’s not. Not really. Jaskier is in the next town down a random road, out of the town Roach had been stabled in at the bottom of the mountain, and his chest aches and aches and aches, the way it did before he met Geralt, the way it did every time they were apart. When he met Geralt it was a revelation how well he could fill that emptiness, and he stayed with the man for twenty years. Twenty. Years. Despite the harsh words. Despite the way he sometimes heard Jaskier and looked as if he’d just eaten a lemon. Despite the fact that Jaskier knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the witcher tolerated Jaskier because of someone he'd already fucking lost.. And then after Jaskier finally lost his patience with it and told Geralt as much, he had the audacity to try to claim that he’d let Jaskier stay for his own sake.

Which, frankly, was bullshit, and Jaskier knows it.
