#secret ygo project

[kisaraslover]

at the risk of sounding like a Very Hurt Person ill be frank. Seto Kaiba being set up as a traumatized, mentally ill kid with PTSD, who had to cope alone and heal alone and bury his past and reinvent himself, proving to and deeply convincing himself that he can do anything in the process, resulting in this narcissistic double ended blade persona, which, narratively speaking, only gets stomped on, by the good guys, antagonized, by the good guys, and as the Merciful course of action the good guys: Force Him Back Into Accepting And Becoming His Past Self (literally cant imagine a worse fate for anyone who had to erase their past and remake themselves tbh) With Its Past Loves And Past Hurts:

this shit suck lol

Last Line Challenge

A napping Silver is a cherubic one, all rosy glow and angelic hues. This figure draped over Lilia is shadowed and pale, all color stripped from his features as if he were a wraith of the darling child Lilia knows and loves. His trembling mind cannot begin to comprehend the strange dampness that coats his hand from where he grabs at the boy's limp and heavy limbs.

Some .hack//YGO AU thoughts under the Read More, bc if I don’t breathe it into existence it will NEVER BE………

I'm drawing self-indulgent arts and strips about it... might make it a fic someday...? idk

My partner Quill (@themadcaptain) and I are putting characters in situations again, and we’re here in the hit online MMO The World

*Yuki Kajiura's The World playing softly in the background*

We've really only ever seen .hack//SIGN and between us, we've maybe played 3 out of 4 of the PS2 games (we started replaying .hack//Infection a while back) so our knowledge of the series is vague and limited at best... I'll look into the rest, but .hack is just a large multimedia franchise with SO MUCH BACKGROUND STUFF HAPPENING

anyway, BACKGROUND STUFF (assuming you know nothing of the .hack series):

The World is a fairly standard VR-enabled MMORPG, but otherwise functions as any other MMO does. It was originally created by programmer Harald Hoerwick under the name Fragment.

The story behind The World itself is largely based on an epic poem known as the Epitaph of the Twilight, written by fictional poet Emma Wieland. Hoerwick was infatuated with Wieland, and when she died, he created Fragment in order to immortalize her work. Fragment, and subsequently The World, contains a secret black box project he had been working on: the ultimate AI named Aura. In universe, this black box data exists within the game, but it is unable to be analyzed. CC Corp, the company that buys Fragment from Hoerwick, beta tests it (with beta testing ending early for unknown reasons), and releases an upgraded version known as The World.

Because of the presence of this Ultimate AI, a lot of mysteries crop up in game, and some players are met with disaster as a result (ie. many fall into comas, have their consciousness trapped in game, etc etc.) and CC Corp is trying to cover up these disasters by deflecting responsibility. However, the AI has been aiding hackers within the game in stopping the mysterious corruption in the game's files.

...SO WHERE DO THE YUGIOH DUDES COME IN?

The parallels between Harald Hoerwick and Pegasus are obvious. It would also be really cool to have his dead fiancée have more of a role other than being Pegasus's muse and motivation. (Also, if you've played the .hack games and seen the creatures in game, then you know this is something he would have absolutely created.) I don't know much about Wieland, but it's implied that she was using Hoerwick's research and talents for her own ends, which is fascinating.

I like the idea of Kaiba Corp collaborating with I2 on this game, with I2 selling it to KC... I also imagine KC still having Gozaburo and The Big Five who would be dismissive of the players' concerns about the comas and such, going so far as to delete forum threads and accounts just to save face...

Then we have Seto Kaiba. The future CEO of Kaiba Corp. Current leader of the Cobalt Knights (group of admins in The World working for KC), and this AU's stand in for Balmung of the Azure Skies Eyes (hehe). I imagine he has NO IDEA what's going on behind those closed doors, but eventually learns what role KC is playing in regards to all of this, and vows to put an end to it on his terms. I also like to believe Mokuba is also part of the Cobalt Knights, and is one of the victims who gets his consciousness trapped in the game, very much like Tsukasa from .hack//SIGN.

And Noa Kaiba? Big Morganna Energy... In .hack//SIGN, Morganna was created to oversee the birth of the Ultimate AI, but would ultimately rebel from this purpose, stalling the development of the Ultimate AI and setting off a lot of disastrous events. I imagine Noa would also be, like, the consciousness uploaded into the system - the one who could access the black box data - but could not export it to KC. With his own father abandoning him within the mainframe, Noa is working to destroy the game from the inside out... and he's responsible for trapping Mokuba in-game.

I feel like if one's consciousness can be uploaded into the MMO, I think it could stand to reason that ghosts and spirits can exist there too...

Alright, so there's some background info... and sadly we're a bit intimidated trying to tackle it all, and also trying to keep up with the different continuities between the different anime and the video games... one day, we'll figure it out... and one day I won’t be too intimidated to tackle this story from Kaiba’ POV…

I’ll probably make a separate post about what everyone else’s role is in The World a bit later!!! owo;;

The Maternity Project

Written for 5 Days of YGO Femslash

Day 4. Melancholy | Joy

Title: The Maternity Project

Ship: N/A | Hayami/Kyoko

Fandom: Vrains

   Taki Kyoko has a dream. Or, more accurately, she had a dream.

   She had always had a dream, ever since she was a little girl. Even though she had very much been the type to get messy and do backyard science experiments, when she was indoors, she was an attentive and doting nurturer to all the pretty dolls that she had begged her parents to buy her. She was every bit of a STEM student in the making since childhood as she was a maternal soul.

   Taki Kyoko’s dream was to be a mother.

   But in the wake of the six lives that she and the others who were boarded to the team of scientists who participated in the Hanoi Project, she very much felt undeserving of ever becoming a mother. So, she swore off that dream and any pesky musings on the subject. Though, this hidden edge to her, concealed underneath that cold, white coat, pined whenever Ryoken or Spectre, who were eight and six respectively, called her “onee-san”.

   Though that was a long time ago now. A fleeting dream in of itself in between the Hanoi Project and the birth of the Knights of Hanoi. With their sin, Kyoko quickly became undeserving of this dream that she had cherished for so long in secret.

   She steeled herself, never once revealing this soft spot, not even to her closest comrades in Aso and Genome, not until she met a certain woman. A small, mousy woman whose dreams were bombastic and loud and written all over the sleeve of her blazer. Hayami Risa. What a conniving little girl, Kyoko was head over heels for her in no time.

   They met a SOL Tech soiree. With Akira as president and Ryoken as their own commander, the two intended to usher in a new era for the Link VRAINS and one which would serve as safe haven to not only various users of it but to the Ignis as well. They wanted to protect, not destroy, they wanted to redeem themselves, not lock themselves away in unchanging misery.

   So after that party, they found themselves getting coffee every once in a while. Or hitting up a nightclub. Risa was a few years younger than Kyoko and fast approaching the label of “fruit cake” which Kyoko had long passed but she made Kyoko feel young again. Ten years younger, even. 

   She was just so normal despite all her quirks: her loud voice, her beliefs in astrology, and such like. She had an undercurrent, of course, she wouldn’t be that high in the SOL Tech’s ladder if she didn’t have some secret underbelly, making her gold digging tendencies apparent. Kyoko didn’t mind because for all her gum flapping about money, Risa simultaneously made it obvious that she wanted to marry for love in the end. Wealth would just so happen be a nice bonus and accommodate her illustrious plans for a wedding.

   Kyoko liked that. She liked that look in Risa’s steely blue eyes when she talked about a future that Kyoko hadn’t glimpsed for years because of her illicit activity as a Knight of Hanoi. And she liked that Risa let her taste that dream again. After so long of loathing herself for hurting those six children, Kyoko began to let herself believe again that she could be a good mother one day.

   Risa made it blatantly obvious that she wanted, one day soon, that she was ready to clock out of the nine-to-five. She wanted to put down roots and be a stay at home mother and homemaker. And Kyoko couldn’t begrudge her such a wonderful dream. 

   Thus, after three years of dating, two of which included cohabitating, and one year of fumbling with feelings that they eventually realised was the rightness of love, they mutually agreed to get married. The affair which followed was not the fairy tale of Risa’s dreams but she enjoyed herself regardless. Both ladies in white dresses, hers poofier than Kyoko’s, and with a small selection of friends and family present, they got married in a secular if westernised way. 

   There were little to no photo opportunities but they did have a great, big cake smothered in white fondant. There was applause for them and Risa got to throw a bouquet in the air and it was caught by Spectre, amusing Kyoko and causing quite a laugh amongst her folk. It was as lowkey an affair as it could be with such a huge personality in a small body like Risa could be afforded and Kyoko loved every minute of it.

   She kissed Risa proudly in front of their selected service, holding her tiny waist and leaning down. She caressed her face and it was like she was kissing Risa for the first time - and she remembered that coffee and biscotti tinged delight well but this was different. It was better. It was like a dream and it had her heart racing.

   The honeymoon that followed whilst brief, still had them making love far more regularly than usual and much more unusual hotels as well. In the aftermath of one of those trysts, the smell of sex in the air, white linen sheets snuggled in, Kyoko confessed something to her wife.

   “I want to be a mother.” Kyoko murmured to her.

   “I wanna be a mum, too.” Risa giggled but Kyoko already knew, she laced her arm over Risa’s bare shoulders and their heads knocked together.

   In the cuddly haze of hormones, the decision that followed was easy. Risa would take a maternity hiatus from SOL Tech and be the one who would bear their baby. As for who would donate, they actually discussed that more seriously and more vehemently. An anonymous donor would have its pros and cons, the gentleman at the clinic recommending a very shining profile of a young man who was sporty, intelligent, and tall, but in the end, Kyoko convinced Risa that it was better for them to know who it was. And both could think of a man that they would like for the donation.

    Kyoko could think of no better man than Aso and Risa could think of no better man than Akira but it was ultimately his choice whether or not he helped.

   Risa attempted to debate for Akira as a possible donation but he found the idea of it entirely awkward so he declined no matter how hard she badgered him at him work or on the phone at home. Meanwhile Aso was honoured and in a simple and civil conversation, he said yes. Of course, Kyoko could have talked him into anything and so, it was his sperm that was used to impregnate Risa.

   Kyoko was very much looking forward to the dark hair that was likely to result from Risa’s brown hair or Aso’s blackish-blue hair. Though she was hoping that more of Risa’s genes were dominant as she was cute as a button but no doubt that their baby would be as well.

   Kyoko was giddy. She didn’t think she would get giddy from helping her wife through her pregnancy journey but, well, she did. She got all excited and was reading every book on the topic and anything relevant or surrounding the topic, refreshing all her college years and the like. She felt anew in this part of the medical world and couldn’t thank Risa enough as it was recolouring her experience of it as the last years of her higher education was for… that project, after all.

   Kyoko enlisted her boys into painting up a new nursery and putting together new IKEA furniture. Risa not having to lift a finger and watched with a non-alcoholic sangria in hand, perched on a rocking chair and her hand on her belly which hadn’t quite gotten big. Yet. She still had far to go and she was doing well with her change in weight and gait so far. But she was pleased as punch to oversee all the hard work which went into renovating the spare room of her and Kyoko’s apartment.

   They already knew the sex of the baby based on sperm and it was going to be a boy so they were going with all the stereotypical colours. Blues and greens, a splash of yellow. Kyoko had wanted to veer more neutrally but if the child was coming out of Risa’s vagina, it was either her way or the highway and she wanted to go a bit bigger. Bolder. And Kyoko found it difficult to argue with that so teddy bears and toy trucks it was.

   However, at the end of those nine months, knowing the fact that they were going to have a baby boy to bring home to a very baby boy themed nursery did not diminish the joy that Risa and Kyoko felt. Risa was a wreck in her maternity ward bed, Kyoko was signed in beside her under the assumed name of Rsai Kyoko and they welcomed their little baby boy into the world. He was born in ample, healthy pounds and just like Kyoko hoped, his resemblance with his birth mother was strong.

   “He’s beautiful.” Kyoko sobbed and she stroked his surprisingly thick hair. He wailed, not enjoying being touched by this foreign woman as his birth mother cradled him, kissed him. “I promise I will protect this child with my life, harm will never come to a single hair on his head, I promise.”

   Risa made a grim expression, she understood why Kyoko was crying such awful tears and nodded, she leaned in and her head bumped against Kyoko’s: their special kiss. “I know, and you will.” Risa replied.

   “Thank you.” Kyoko replied.

   Risa angled her face up and Kyoko kissed her again. This time on the lips and she listened to her and Risa’s baby continue to cry. But Kyoko promised him, this would be the only time he would ever have to wail in agony, she would make sure of it.

Fic rec! 2.5K YGO AU

Summary: Yami knows that Yugi left because he was scared, but he also knows Yugi will return.

Comments: This is based on a book, but I just love the mess of complicated relationships where Yugi is scared to be with Yami (for magical reasons) and then in the years afterward hooks up with Atem (who used to be interested in Yami) only for Atem to be a secret assassin and so Yugi's like, nope! Let's go check in on Yami!

In my heart, it ends with Mobiumshipping, but this fic is really just Yami pining and then sending Atem smug 'I got him' glances.

Plus, you know, with an undercurrent of the three of them being created vessels for a strange power.

[cryptidofthekeys]

For the writing asks!!! 1,2,3 💫

i forgot,, i reblogged that gfjkdlfgjds but ayyy the good ol 1, 2, 3! lets gooo

------------------------------------------------------------------

What writing projects are you currently working on?

The projects currently being worked on little by little is TSGOTSS Chapter 2, Nyctophobia (title might change for that one im just unsure yet), and finally JLOT Chapter 3

----------------------------------------------------

What are your future writing projects?

Oh my god theres SO many,, Let me give you a... well not FULL list but still a list- There’s JLOT Chapter 4 (when chap 3 is done), Yancy x Borrower Reader, HeeHoo also with a Borrower reader, Team Hell No horror movie night, IWTDFD Chapter 2, Five Nights at Domino Cemetery, Nyctophobia (also a ygo thing), TSGOTSS Chapter 2 (the recent story I did), and finally a story I can’t reveal the title of just yet but its a fun lil secret story ;)

. . . Needless to say I have a LOT and that isn’t even all of them (I REALLY need to post Five Nights at Domino Cemetery bc I’ve already written like four chapters essentially)

---------------------------------------------------------

Are you trying anything new with your writing (style, genre, etc.)?

Mm not really unless I am somehow blissfully unaware of what I’m trying fgkjdslfdkjs I’m p much just writing as I go along, emptying my head of the ideas that I have and putting them down on the docs, some of them I REALLY do need to stop being so nervous about posting (... *looks at Five Nights and Nycto* ...granted Nycto’s first chapter aint even done yet but still Idk whats stopping me)

[codedredalert]

ahhh hello welcome thank you to new followers! i currently have one foot in yugioh and one foot in one piece (but mostly ygo rn) and my fingers in various others like golden kamuy and my ghost in even more series (homestuck especially)

tags you might want to filter from me: #not mine, #red talks, #red replies, #long post, #spoilers i tag series by full name no punctuation but with spaces eg #one piece, #yugioh, #haikyuu. sometimes i also tag the abbreviation eg: #op, #ygo for series i post more on, i tag by full character name. for ygo, i use english name order eg #ryou bakura, #seto kaiba pairings/ships i try to follow fandom convention i tag for #blood but honestly this is a pretty sfw blog. my taste in writing runs a little dark so mind the warnings on those, but i do tend to err on the safe side when issuing warnings so it’s prob ok

it’s not personal if sometimes i unfollow/ usually i don’t follow back, it’s really just mental bandwidth and content management bc i WILL want to scroll to the bottom of my dash and have to baby myself by limiting it. there are very dear friends of mine who I can’t/don’t follow, we’re chill, it doesn’t mean anything.

i’m a little quiet recently bc i’m working on a ~secret ygo project~ with a buddy (i’m very excited to share more about that in the future, we’ve put in so much work already and it’s looking great) but i do have a backlog of things to post from patreon which i need to sit down and do it properly

if you’d like to support me here are my links: ( patreon ) ( kofi ) ( paypal )  reblogs, comments, and yelling in the tags are also always appreciated. askbox is usually open. 

yeah i think that’s all the housekeeping i have for now. take care and stay safe.

<3 Red

[silver-kitsuneneko]

Alrighty! I'm going all out on this one soo be prepared for a long haul since my curiosity MUST be quenched: 1, 3, 4-6, 11, aaand 13-16 for the writing ask thing, please

OOOH! Awesome!!! Okay! [rolls up sleeves!] Here we go!

1.     What's something you've written that you know is OOC and you just don't care? Omg…I thought my dark secret would never be heard. Me and Incubirb wrote a fanfic together in high school called Dealing with Chibis. It’s a YGO fanfic. We had fun and it’s still posted on FF.net but the yamis are OOC. VERY OOC. Do we care? Nah, it was something we wrote when we were younger and it’s a reminder of the good ol’ days and annnnnnnnd how we improved n,n Yes it’s cringe but it’s OUR  cringe damn it!

 2.    Something you hate to see in smut. No build up! Okay, I’m all for PWP because sometimes you just want to read smut without having to read a story behind it but please at least give the audience some foreplay. Also and I used to do this, don’t say womanhood an manhood, just say cock, clit, vagina, and things like that. Because well…sex is an experience, or I’ve been told, but it’s also dirty and passionate so using the terms can make it a little better or I can just be a huge perv. I’m probably the latter. Finally, weird ass things that would be near impossible during sex. Shampoo is NOT lube, ripping out a woman’s tampon and flinging it behind you is not sexy, sex in the shower/ on the beach/ is not romantic and I’m assuming harder than it looks.  Or something that is outright gross that is supposed to be romantic >< I’ve read of questionable shit and I just had to pretend I never read it. Just…but logical about it, please!

 3.    Something you love to see in smut. I personally like non con…hear me out. It’s a fantasy, it’s a good plot device, and it’s just so dark. I also like a weird powerplay and pet play because…well no one needs to know that ^^: (stay tuned One Piece fans). I also like good chemistry with the characters, like the more experience boy or girl with another girl and descriptions. Like don’t just say “and they totally did it!” yeah no, describe the act and the senses.

 4.    Something you hate to see in dialogue. Using net speak in writing. Not making a conversation believable and writing an “accent” in someone’s speech. Once again, I was guilty of this years ago, minus the net speak. The writing accent thing can be good in some cases but horrible overall. Like in HP, JK Rowling writing the way Hagrid talked. I’ll admit, it did kind of get you into the mood that Hagrid had an accent but when she did it with the French accent and Bulgarian one, it just became really…distracting. Have your readers imagine it instead of having to read/listen to an accent. Just say that they had a strong accent or if they do speak in broken English in order to emphasize a plot, by all means! Once again one of my fave authors did this well. In one of her stories, the characters were aliens who spoke Russian, this woman had RUSSIAN in the book so the reader was just as clueless as the characters in the story. Same story and one of the characters had a thick Polish accent made it difficult for him to make friends, so she emphasized it when him and is stepbrother switched bodies and he realized that one of the things his new brother had to face.

 5.    What "don't ever do this" writing rule are you guilty of constantly breaking? I know I break a lot! Hell, there’s run on sentences and things like that everywhere XD But apparently the ,” that a dear sweet nitpicker brought to my attention. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not like “OMG HOW DARE SHE!” it’s more of, she was just doing it to be an ass? Like really trying to find something wrong with a story? Anyway, that. I don’t know why I do it. I think it’s a habit that I have to break but I didn’t know it was a habit? Like some writing rules says its okay. Some say it’s bad, some people don’t even notice it. But that’s just how I’ve always write. No one else seems to care so I just kept doing it.

 6.    What do you need to work on most? Rereading my work! I don’t get offended when my readers point things out! Like I welcome it because sometimes I’m concentrating on writing that I don’t see the mistakes or rapid typing that I forget to go back. Like I write in layers. I write the beginning, scenes in the middle, the end, refill things, connect things, and polish things before posting but even I overlook things. I don’t have a proofreader so I’m grateful for the extra pairs of eyes XD Seriously I don’t get offended in the least!  

 7.    What aspect of writing have you had the most growth in? Character development! Seriously! It takes time and a lot of work to write a good character! My first real fanfic characters were OCs and one dimensional at most. Then again it was middle school and high school and emotions were high, things weren’t the best but still, they were my characters. They stuck with me in college and it gave me more than enough time to revamp them into proper characters. Also during that time I was working on a coping mechanism writing/story and learned how to really flesh out a character and giving them a back story on how they came to be instead of “this character was just born AWESOME!”

 8.    We all project onto our characters. Where has your personality or life choices leaked onto the page the most? Well, with me and not so much in my One Piece fanfics but Hetalia, my issues with my family, especially my mother/ grandmother. Because of my family situation, I never really had a safe place to express myself freely and when I did it was always taken away. I was around a lot of adults who were affected by my grandmother’s own issues which resulted in immature adults with issues of their own where I had to always be the “adult” or the “bigger person” one to someone who was twice as old as I was when I was a preteen/teenager and they were full grown ass adults. Which sucked since being a mature kid really gives more problems and doing things just to please a family who wouldn’t care less but I did have a Dad who really took the time to really understand me which was nice. So a lot of my Reader-chans have either unavailable parents, awesome parents, or raised by people who aren’t parents but the best parents they could ever have because in my opinion, sometimes the best people who actually care isn’t your family and if these people accept you, treat you with respect and genuinely care about your well being then they are your family.  

9.    What's the most ridiculous thing you've done to put off actually writing? Hmmmm Well I’ve always found time to write but usually now with the pandemic, it’s mainly “I have to clean!” which is partly true but malaise DX Well For one fandom at least. Not to mention I’m adding in a lot of filler so I can send a ton of sad fanfics without feel guilty XD

I know what I said about double updates after DaiKen Week but due to realizing my posted Wips are getting out of hand again & that I desperately need to finish my final version of <i>Rewards of Losing</i>, my YGO Big Bang project, I decided on this course of action instead.

I will finish DaiKen Week with as many one-shots as possible. But effective immediately, all posted wips are on hiatus until September. Why then? Because I need to have <i>Rewards of Losing</I > finished by early August & then I'm taking the time to finish my wips, in this order:

01: In Any World: Yubel x Juudai: 3 1-shots, 24,699 words

02: War of the Undead: Ryou: 31 chapters: 93,000 words

03: Chains of Blood: Ruki: 3 chapters: 13,670 words

04: Call the Darkness: Reversal AU: 18,000 words

05: Unholy Desires: Taichi x Yamato: 66,000 words

06: Across the Threshold: Ryou x Mizael: 85,000 words

07: Shards of Ice: Rio, Rin: 15,000 words

08: Issues With Molting: Yubel x Juudai x Johan: 3,650 words

09: Hunting Games: Juudai, Hane Kuriboh, Geise: 13,711 words

10: Choice To Protect: Ken x Daisuke: 14,000 words

11: Secret of Ears: Ken x Daisuke: 7,500 words

I will still write 11-shots between now & then. But these will be finished before posting resumes, & before I start on that, I need to finish <i>Rewards of Losing</i>, which went & turned itself into a Firestarter/Healer AU upon rewrites. Who knew?

WIPs and projects: Progress

Hello~!

I’ve decided to do a big progress post that list all my current WIPS and projects, giving out an approximative percentage of how much I’ve written for each, and if they’re in my priority to do list or not.

DGM

Rise of the Walker: Chapter 3 at 0%, top priority.

Meet me Halfway to the End: Chapter 3 at 0%, top priority.

Make it Right: Chapter 1 at 10%, working on it slowly as second priority.

Freedom to Love: Chapter 1 at 10%, working on it slowly as second priority.

The future we choose: Chapter 1 at 0%, will work on it slowly but likely not as fast as other stories.

Bring me to Life: Chapter at 0%, is top priority but since it got updated recently, I will work on others top priority stories first.

Projects for DGM, aka, ideas that I’ll work on slowly: Two AOExDGM crossovers, a JoydAllen story, and a trans woman Cross story. Also, working out sequel to Long Lost Reunion.

Main WIPs in other fandom (those I am more likely to write for when I feel like it)

Secret of Dark Red (NatsuYuu): Chapter 5 at 10%, has worked on it slowly but paused for a bit, intend to try working on it slowly again.

The Divine Battle (BBC Merlin): Chapter 10 at 0%, hopes to work slowly on it.

Our Past (BBC Merlin): Chapter 8 at 20%, wants to work on it, but unsure when I’ll do.

The Joy of Time Travel (Pokemon): Chapter 6 at 15%, hopes to work slowly on it.

Tales of Black Wings (White Collar): Next story at 0%, will be a main timeline story, hopes to work on it. Has a story written for the alternate timeline but can’t post it until main storyline has the canon scene happen.

Other WIPs (kind of hiatus unless surprise inspiration), all have their next chapters not yet started (aka 0% written).

Shadows of Rebirth (Outlast), the one most likely to be updated all of the other WIPs.

Broken Chain and Fated Chain (KKM). I’m having some KKM nostalgia so who knows, but even if I watch some again and poke around, it’ll be slow. Still considered on hiatus. Semi hiatus?

Different Yet Alike (FNAF). Needs to read over my notes for the whole series to get in the mood again, spark inspiration. Considered in semi hiatus, almost full hiatus.

Hellish Chronicles (YGO GX): Inspiration can be hard for this one, so semi hiatus too, waits for inspiration to poke at it.

Projects (things I plan to work on but WIPs are priority over projects).

SkyrimxDAI crossover: biggest project of mine as its a series, wants to work on writing fully at least some of the stories, is likely to take a while before you see it pop around.

Canon AU NatsuYuu fanfic: will work on it once Secret of Dark Red is either well progress or finished. Basic like about it: Natsume is a half ayakashi and eventually becomes Matoba’s Shiki. Once Matoba actually manages to catch him. That takes a few years because sneaky Natsume is sneaky. But also: Natsume has a secret.

Other projects (little things I had started working on, might be worked on before bigger projects and/or whenever I lowkey avoid WIPs for the reason most don’t need that much work on, but inspiration for these is also low).

Two one shots for KKM: oh boy, I have no idea when I’ll continue these. One is a ConYuu ns//fw scene that’s halfway written and that I might decide to post as if (on AO3) if I cant feel like I’ll finish it, and another is one I cant recall if it was a plot bunny or I saw something that inspired me, it’s about fireworks.

I believe I have some character studies for YGO GX that are almost finished, I’ll eventually check and decide if I post as if (I think for some, I wanted to do more, and make a story that’s a collection).

Rewrites of Angel and Sephirot, and Eventful Journey (YGO GX): Still something I have in mind, but will be will a while before I even consider poking these.

One humor/crack ToS story I might repost (had removed it at one point). Is mostly a collection of crackish/funny scenes, canon not always there. I do need to first translate what I had until I removed it. Might continue it too, as in, make new scenes after I finished posting all the ones I wrote.

Same kind of story as above to repost, but in Saiyuki fandom, to be continued possibly. Speaking of Saiyuki fandom, there are french stories I had written and removed, I need to translate, possibly rework, and post. Obviously, that is not quite a priority, but will happen eventually.

There was a third story in the same style as the two above, for Devil Devil. I will eventually translate what I have and post, but not sure I’ll continue.

And of course, quite a few plot bunnies that are sitting waiting for me.

Here’s my completed work for this year’s YGO Big Bang. This was a huge project for me but I had a lot of fun with it. This is an au I've been wanting to write for almost two years and I finally got around to doing it. The Big Bang was the push I needed to finish this.

I have so many people to thank. - The Mods of the Big Bang, of course. They were so nice to me for some reason. (Especially to Mod S for the aesthetic which is very fitting by the way.) - My Honey Bunny who helped motivate me and for being a supportive bae. - A big thanks to @vanishing-rainias on tumblr (Reishiin on AO3) for helping me edit this. I had so many mistakes and things I overlooked so it really helped to have someone go through it for me. (Plus your comments on my fic made my day!) - @fluffymoe on tumblr for drawing art for me. Her art is really awesome so please check her out. I flailed like a fangirl when I realized she picked my fic to draw for.

With much love, a small Toxi.
