I could write a whole essay about this, but.

Fanfiction as a collective exists as a combination of the ideal state and all the broken pieces that are left behind. Fanfiction shows us all the things that should have happened, if the world was a little bit kinder: someone adopts Harry Potter, the Avengers live domestically together, people fall in love and admit it. Fanfiction says, things are awful but we’re kind anyway, because we can be, because kindness costs little and gives much. It is democracy at its best, a collection of people solving problems together, solving plotholes and heartbreaks and deaths, a conversation of solution responding to solution because the whole of fandom is, itself, its own canon.

But at the same time, fanfiction is about all of those holes and jagged edges and wounds left unhealed, about what happens when the war is over and everyone who’s left needs to go back home. It’s about the fact that surviving is usually the hardest part, and we rarely get to choose what’s done to us but we do get to choose how we survive afterwards. It’s about the child soldiers who no longer have a war, and about the trauma of getting past the trauma you’ve survived. It’s about injury and depression and PTSD. It’s about recovery, yes, but also about those things that do not recover, those things that will never recover. It is a reminder that we live in a world where many people don’t get white picket fences and 2.5 kids and a happily ever after, but also a reminder that there is life beyond that, survival, yes, but also life. It is a reminder that characters’ lives don’t end with the last page and nor too do people’s lives end with their trauma, but that after that hurt comes comfort and healing and putting one foot in front of another because the best way to get through hell is to keep going.

Happy birthday ish times! You’re an awesome writer, and I deeply appreciate your commitment to this itty bitty Darker than Black fandom! If I may ask, do you have any updated timelines on your possible fic schedule, or original work? I know that’s a lot to ask, so feel free to not answer, but I really truly love all your stuff and can’t wait for more :)

Thank you 💛 My goals as far as an actual schedule are in the most recent The Interview update. I'll try to stick with it, but I make no promises 😳

Miami! It's ostensibly for work, but next Sunday is my birthday, so while I'm there in running the Miami Beach half marathon, going paddleboarding, and getting a tattoo. Also, beaching 😺🐳🌴🌊

I was lurking on AO3 as I tend to do when I realized that Hei/Misaki didn’t have a collection devoted to it. So I kinda made one. I’d like to get some stories added to it. Right now it’s open and unmoderated, so you can slap stuff into it, but if you’d like to join it I can add you.

Well, I'll have some time to kill at the airport tomorrow; maybe I'll give it a look

Hmmmm that's understandable but do you plan to do anything with kurusawa and kiko cause obviously they are comic relief and your stories are more on the serious side most times

I do love them; and I’d like to include them in a story. They just haven’t fit anywhere yet…

[thereal-tsuki-llama-blog]

I don’t remember that...which story was it in?

Do you plan on using any of the contractors from season 2 or are you just like nope they don't exist?

They don't exist. Also they were all stupid. I don't remember a single one that fit that rules S1 had set up; they were more like comic book or fanfic villains.

“A witch doesn’t know the meaning of the word ‘failure,’ Gytha.”

They shot up into the clear air again. The horizon was a line of golden light as the slow dawn of the Disc sped across the land, bulldozing the suburbs of the night.

“Esme?” said Nanny Ogg, after a while.

“What?”

“It means ‘lack of success.’”

They flew in chilly silence for several seconds.

“I was speaking wossname. Figuratively,” said Granny.

“Oh. Well. You should of said.”

When the four rather small and nasty Horsemen of Panic ride out there is a good job done by Misinformation, Rumour and Gossip, but they are as nothing compared to the fourth horseman, whose name is Denial.
