The more I am working on Theodosia's design and character, the more I am regretting having her dead even before the beginning of the story.

Gods, the shenanigans that I could have had with her and Dottie just being little shits together alongside Phillip and Charlie and swapping places and just having fun (to say nothing of what a huge support she would have been for Dottie in regards to Jacob), and how much of Dorothea's pesky impish attitude is coming out with her twin.

Ah, well, sometimes mistakes are made when planning, I guess.

I will just have fun with her in the Genshin!AU and have all the shenanigans of the twins there.

Zeke and Henry are those guys who bonded solely over being simps for their girlfriends, thank you

When Matthew gets a love interest and I have someone to write shippy fic about him with, it's over for you people

[catsafarithewriter]

A/N: This is a continuation of this double fake dating au, because apparently my brain hasn’t finished rotating this idea yet. This is a very silly au, and gets sillier by the day. Again, I have no idea how far I’ll continue this, but for now: enjoy!

Baron Humbert von Gikkingen's life was falling apart, and it was all because his sister had decided to get married.

Or, to be exact, she had decided to get married a week before their midsummer family reunion, and not given him a heads up. He hadn't even discovered his apparent newfound status as a brother-in-law from Louise herself; the truth only coming to light from a letter from his Great Aunt Gertrude, proclaiming the 'good' news and wondering why he hadn't settled down yet with a nice lady/gent.

He tried to be happy for his sister. And he almost succeeded. But beneath it all was the immovable truth that where there had once been two eligible von Gikkingen heirs, there was now only one, and so the eyes of all social-climbers would be on him. (And if he was lucky, that's all they'd get on him.)

He had no choice. Time to fake his death and move to the Dog Kingdom.

In a stroke of fate, or luck, or (more accurately) mere procrastination, he decided to clear his head with a walk about town and hope for inspiration to strike. (Or, if inspiration failed, then possibly an anvil.)

"C'mon, Muta, you know you've always been like a father figure to me..."

Baron paused, gloved hand over the door-handle to one of his favourite haunts, a small antique shop.

"Nice try, Chicky," came the gruff tone of the owner, "but you're more the troublesome niece."

"It would only be for a month!"

"Chicky, I ain't adopting you just so you can keep yer job. I'll just wire you the money to the Human World until this all breezes over."

"You can't afford that, Muta."

"Then we'll hide yer here until the decree gets dropped. Don't need to tell the palace you're still working."

"That's illegal, Muta."

"Only for a month."

Deciding to enter the conversation before his eavesdropping was discovered at a less opportune moment, Baron let himself into the antique store. He could have walked on by, but... well, he'd always had a habit of sticking his nose in other people's business. He became the immediate focus of the two occupants, one a large white Cat, and the other a Human woman. Both faces split into grins, as if they hadn't just been discussing legalities.

“Don’t mind me,” Baron greeted cheerfully. “I’m just browsing.” 

 As he turned his attention to the corridor (more reminiscent of an alleyway, really) crowded with old books, he heard the shop’s owner and assistant continue their discussion in carefully muted tones.    

“Well then, Chicky, guess you’d better get used to rainy days, ‘cause I can’t see what other choice you have.”

“There must be something–”

“There is, but you’ve already shot down my idea–”

“Breaking the law is not an idea–”

“But it’s a stupid law and you know it!”      

Baron popped his head back around the bookshelf. “I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help overhearing. What seems to be amiss?”

The Human assistant, Haru, exchanged glances with Muta. She was currently perched on an old trunk, despite the owner’s previous allegation of an abundance of chairs.  

“The latest royal decree,” Haru said.

Baron passed his mind over the most recent bout of news to make its way from the palace. “No pink on a Monday?” he offered dubiously. 

“No. The, uh” and she motioned weakly to nothing in particular, “the one about only Cats and Cats-through-family being allowed to reside in the Cat Kingdom.”

“Oh,” Baron said. Then after some consideration, he added, “I’m sorry to hear that. Is there nothing to be done?”

“Well, I could get adopted into a Cat family–” she began. 

“Trust me, you don’t want to caught up in my family,” Muta retorted. 

“For one month!”

“I’d have to find my paperwork, and Bastet knows it’ll be a month before I find it–”

“Or,” Haru continued, “get very quickly married.”

“Also out of the picture, for the same reason and then some,” Muta said. 

Baron paused. In the back of his mind, but not so far back as it really should have been, a crazy idea took place. He needed a way to attend his family gathering without multiple social-climbing guests making their presence his problem, and Haru evidently needed a way to stay in the Cat Kingdom. 

“Only for a month, you said?” he asked. 

Haru rolled her eyes. “The palace advisor I spoke to seemed to imply that the decree’ll only last that long. Unfortunately, it’s still too long for me.”

The idea shoved its way to the front of the queue. Somehow, he found himself saying, “I hope this isn’t insultingly forward of me, but I think I might just have a solution...”

if it was a slice of life kinda story with the fcked up elements and brief action scenes included, ichikuu would probably be like ‘the misadventures with a punk monk ~i think my best friend is in love with me??~’ lol

going to a punk show this week and I'm solo rn so I asked a friend who I know would have fun but usually has a hard time making events and the cute person from hinge knowing it's a weirder artist and also last minute. I didn't rly expect either of them to be able but I figured I'd ask yk?

anyway I got instant replies from both of them seeming interested.......

[blameitontheanon]

Don’t mind me, I’m just getting emotional about the (parasocially projected) potential of this dinner table.

[rescuefield-a]

thinking about post rev2 claire bringing moira along to the white house for whatever work reason and like, after the tenth agent nodding on their way and trying to make a quick chat you just have to wonder what's the score

[azumasoroshi]

just finished still still still for the third time and metaphorically sobbing my eyes out godghdjkgkfgmndfgbnmccbnvcb

every soukoku fan is legally obligated to read this fic right now

i wanna draw art for it aughdhghhhgjgngnmhhhhh this fic is so dear to my heart and one that i never lose interest in while reading even though it's 21 chapters and i usually get bored if fics are over 15

it remains consistently intriguing, heartwrenching, and cathartic and i just. it's such an amazing fic from beginning to end, masterfully written, incredibly engaging and dynamic relationship

plus the way it treats mental health is so. i dont know how to describe it but it's really accurate respectful and sensitive about it while also recognizing that personal effort does have to go in to start the bitch of a road to recovery and idk the way dazai is in this fic has stayed with me for years in the good way

ANYWAY READ STILL STILL STILL
