I've also been slowly copying most of my works from Ao3 to squidgeworld so they're available to my readers even when Ao3 is down. I've also adjusted the format so several stories posted as a series of shorts on Ao3 are chaptered fics on squidgeworld for easier offline downloading/reading.
As some people prefer to read only on Tumblr, I've now created an index post listing all my stories with summaries and word counts that have been posted to Tumblr.
Because it's come up a few times, here's a link to the ask where I go down the rabbit hole of the lore reference in my username.
DMs and Anon Asks are always open, although sometimes I take a while to reply.
There is not enough love in the world. Make more.
@dredgensimp made this image I use for my profile:
And it is beautiful. You should go see her other art because it is beautiful too.
The Drifteris will continue until morale improves.

I've created several original Destiny characters for fanfiction and this got a little long, so here’s a cut so I don’t annoy anyone who doesn’t want to scroll through me answering this question.
The first one was Udon, the bog slug, who has broken containment and now sometimes shows up in other people's stories as well as my own.  He first appeared in one of my earliest pieces of D2 fanfiction, Offering, set during Season of the Witch.  Udon was the one bog slug that did not disappear when the player character approached it in the Athenaeum. He’s now shown up in seven of my stories and two of someone else’s.
Ka-Reika'a is an Eliksni oc I created for A Dance with Vengeance.  She demanded the Drifter pay his life-debt to her house by killing the house that wiped hers out.  He and Eris talked her down to vengeance on the leadership and warriors who supported the slaughter, and the remainder of the House of Knives (along with one House of Dragons hatchling, hidden and kept safe by a House of Knives warrior who wasn't ok with killing hatchlings) agreed to become members of the House of Dragons and accept Ka-Reika’a as their Kell before flying to the Last City to amalgamate with the House of Light.
Alice is an older human character I created for the same story. Â She has a restaurant in the Last City and runs a makeshift orphanage where she takes in children who have no one and helps them in exchange for them working for her. Â She became a recurring character when she showed up again in Destinytober 2024 - Found Family and I've got notes in several other stories that are in various stages of half-done where she will re-appear whenever those stories are finished.
For Steam and Snow I created multiple past lovers for Eris and Drifter to talk about:Â Â
- Mouse, a human hunter Eris had an on-again, off-again fling with before she met Ikora.
- Mahax (Max) and Tua'niik'ki (Nikki), aka Stringbean and Pretty Boy, former Eliksni criminal partners and lovers for Drifter.
and
- Tlixitlat, Drifter's Cabal one night stand who wanted to keep him as a pet (he declined).
I have a whole cast of original characters in my ongoing Road Trip series, including (but definitely not limited to):
- Cha-si’nok (aka Pickleface) an Eliksni pirate and former associate of Spider who talks a lot like Variks
- Krikras, an Eliksni pirate and great-grand-hatchling of Cha-si’nok
- Mung, a Cabal pirate who hates Cabal authority and thinks honour is bullshit
- Martini (R.I.P.) a human space pirate who had a crush on Drifter - he uh... didn’t make it
and
- Miri, pirate queen as well as Drifter's wayward abandoned adopted sort-of niece who hates him
I also have a whole cast of original characters in my ongoing Slay Bells Ring series, including:
- Firesprite-7, an Exo Hunter serving drinks and providing security at the event
- Chilliwack, Morg Hartvigsen, and Koharu-4, Praxic Warlock friends of Aunor Mahal who come with her to harass Drifter & Eris during dinner.
- Jackie, a very butch-lesbian-coded human bartender friend of the Drifter
andÂ
- Artemis, a War Beast puppy gifted to Eris
And there's also various throw away characters in one-shot stories I've written, like the "coworkers" Drifter ended up escaping a mutiny with in Breakfast of Champions (written for the Alien Factions Zine) or the various people who died after betraying him in Destinytober 2025 - Ahamkara or Nahid, Eris' old friend who made an unfortunate Ahamkara wish in Destinytober 2025 - Awoken/Gift.  This is in addition to multiple random guardians that end up tossed in as not-overly detailed side characters whenever I need one.
But even though those are all "original characters" they exist to perform various narrative functions within fanfiction and I do not treat them the way other people tend to treat their ocs. Â (For example, I kill mine off quite frequently. Â The world of D2 is quite deadly.) Â
So if you're asking whether or not I have one specific character that I think of myself as roleplaying when I'm playing Destiny? No, not really. Â I will sometimes dress up one of my three D2 player characters (I have one of each class) as a character I am writing about so I can get a feel for weapons, armour, and how it feels to play that character in the game. Â But my main D2 character doesn't have a name, nor does her ghost, and they will shift to be whatever I need at any given point in time, creatively. Â
The closest thing I really have to an oc for people to draw or share stories about is probably Udon the bog slug (who does indeed get art made of him and has appeared in other fanfic writer's stories, much to my great delight).

When I play D2, I'm always harvesting ideas for stories, but not as a player-character-focused narrative. Â My fanfiction stories are very much centered on Eris and Drifter and it's their relationships with other characters and each other that I'm most keenly interested in. Â It's not that I don't like ocs (in fact I've written several gift fics featuring other people's oc's that I think are pretty damn cool) - but, for me, Drifteris is what makes my brain go brrrr. Â
Keeping this and putting it folded up in my back pocket for a Drifter/Eris scene, filled with post-angst and soothing and Drifter suddenly surprised realizing, and blurting out, that he's happy. And Eris responding with the simple logical follow up acknowledgement, not surprised, but still finding it unfamiliar and strange and new, to not just experience happiness again, but have someone who magnifies her happiness once more in her life, after so much loss and vengeance and solitude...

So, I was working in a lab, right? My job in the lab was preparing a pure, concentrated enough sample of virus. This is tricky since, y'know, viruses require hosts to replicate, but you then need to get the host cells (and the pieces of the host cells that died!) out of the sample while still keeping the viruses. Once I'd finished and the samples had been sent to the database for analysis as well as a second one sent to be frozen for future reference, there was still some left over that needed to be disposed of.
I, knowing that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity, waited carefully for the lab director to be deep in conversation with someone else on the other side of the laboratory. And then I took my chance.
Test tubes, as it turns out, are really bad as shot glasses. Their shape turns any liquid inside into a stream, so you really can't knock it back quickly - it takes a couple seconds. Additionally, the best way I can describe the taste of virus concentrate was "sterile rot". A very unique kind of bad! Made worse by the test tube's inefficiency as a shot glass.
(by the way we were studying bacteriophages, not animal viruses. these viruses are too specialized on attacking prokaryotes to even recognize our cells as targets at all, according to studies.)
(but also like. if the viruses managed to successfully switch hosts and killed me with a violent infection, itd still be worth it.)
All right so everyone's going to expect me to say this has Drifter vibes, but no, hear me out: this is Eris Morn vibes all the way.
Doing important work for the Vanguard [in the lab] fighting evil [viruses] and encounters Crota, eater of hope [concentration of virus].
She knows the Vanguard has put out an interdict on returning to the Moon [not allowed to eat lab samples] but knows they only have a narrow chance to be able to defeat Crota before he wipes out humanity [this was a once in a lifetime opportunity].
She sneaks in with the First Crota Fireteam [lab director distracted] has an absolutely awful experience in the Hellmouth [a very unique kind of bad] but survives.
She incorporates the evil into herself [swallow virus] and uses the knowledge from her experience to teach us how to kill Crota as well as the other Hive gods, greatly benefiting humanity because of her extremely reckless disregard for her own existence [if the viruses managed to successfully switch hosts and killed me with a violent infection, itd still be worth it - for science].
Eris is absolutely the type of Hunter-mentality any-means-necessary kind of insane to swallow a vial full of virus for science.
Whereas Drifter would just be "That's disgusting but is it edible? Maybe if I was hungry enough? I wonder how it tastes."

let’s be real the pressure to use AI as an adult is exactly what they said the pressure the do drugs as a teenager would be like but the people that told us that caved immediately for the AI and definitely did not just say no
one of my favourite human songs-and-dances is when someone notices someone else is lying and, for no particular reason besides love of the game, helps them get away with the lie without ever explicitly acknowledging they noticed. nightmare social animals.
