6. most indulgent wip

probably either “diver” or “why storms are named after people”.

—“diver” is raina’s (my original character) story if she was the “yuu” character. it’s a deeply personal story than i honestly don’t know if i’ll publicly share :,,,) she’s so important to me that i don’t know if i can put her out there and lay her bare for people to pick and prod.

—“why storms are named after people” is a hyper specific twisted wonderland alternate universe that i created with one of my friends. it was originally based on “wotakoi: love is hard for otaku” but it has devolved a lot from there. we let our ocs run wild in it and it’s one of my favourite aus that i created. it’s self indulgent because it’s too specific to both of us and if i share it, there will be so much editing done to make it… “for everyone” if that makes sense.

11. explain your wip titles

—“diver” is the title of the eight naruto shippuden opening by nico touches the wall. it’s one of my favourite anisongs of all time and it never grows old for me. the lyrics speak for itself and really is telling of the character growth raina has.

—“why storms are named after people” is taken from a poem by m.k. wilde. there’s some history for this because it often gets credited to caitlyn siehl as a quote that i’m sure you’ve seen floating around. but in conclusion, it’s an au with a lot of drama.

15. something from a wip you are excited about

gee, i wonder where this one is from? 🥺

thank you so much for this ask anon!! and if you happen to be interested in any of the wips mentioned i’d love to chat more. i’m sure my friends would love it if i stopped yelling into their ears 😂

O

Oh no…

My hand slipped and I showed you a snippet of Jade’s “lucky ending”—

“I want you to live before I kill you.”

“You know I’ve lived for centuries right…?”

“Oui! But if I may be so bold… There is no beauty in killing someone who is already dead.”

“Then how exactly, would death be more beautiful?”

Rook Hunt flushed red at the thought, “I’m so thrilled you asked! Why—there is nothing more beautiful—more glorious than a battle wherein both parties think: ‘I don’t want to die. I have something to live for!’—oui?”

“… I have encountered a great many hunters… but none like you.” You finally told him after a lengthy pause. Yes, any other hunter would kill one of the strongest beasts—and yet this boy…

“And as you’ve lived for so long, I will take that as a compliment.” Rook crossed his legs, popped his hat off his head and bowed in an over dramatic fashion.

“Well then, dear Beast of Calamity. I am off! How unfortunate that I might have lost your scent.” Rook smiled, his eyes slid shut. “Please do tell your incredibly attractive Master that I do so look forward to seeing him again.” He let out a suspicious little giggle before disappearing. You stared off into the space he had been standing at before you tossed yourself backward onto the grassy ground.

A/N: Merry Christmas everyone! Unfortunately I have no full length pieces for you, but I thought I can at least offer you a teaser for the much awaited “the map that leads to you”! Please enjoy! Happy Holidays!

The sun has set in the distance, and it has dyed this whole world in the softest shades of pink, blue and purple. The ocean that spread out in front of you is calm; the waves came up to you only to gently lap at your toes. Your eyes cannot help but flutter shut, and you take a deep breath. The salty scent of the sea enveloped you, and the beat of your heart resounded in time with the soft movement of the waves.

When you hear a splash, your eyes flickered open, and you immediately squinted at the bright light of the sun to see him. He stood before you, knee deep in the ocean. His white dress shirt is rolled to his forearms, and his pants are pulled up to his knees. His teal hair is a mess, and that stupid single black lock of his, flies in the silent wind.

Your eyes immediately water at his familiar silhouette, and your lower lip trembled.

“Jade.”

At the call of his name, he finally turned to you—

A/N: Have a teaser for the next Twisted piece~

“Hey, did you know?”

You looked up from your meal to see a grinning Ace.

“Well... you haven’t told me what this is about Ace.” you finally said in a dry tone. “So no--I wouldn’t.” Beside you, Epel’s lips curled up in amusement.

"Are you sassing me?” Ace squinted at you.

“Who could say.” you shrugged your shoulders. “Anyways, what is it?” Ace studied you for a couple more seconds before he too seemed to ‘shrug’ it off and continue.

“There’s actually a tradition in Twisted Wonderland at graduations.” Ace’s smile turned wicked, as he raised his hand and tugged on his shirt.

“Please don’t strip. Nobody needs to see that.” you said--and Deuce promptly choked on his food. On his other side, Jack sighed as he patted the boy on his back.

“It’s not that!” Ace scowled. “Sweet Queen, if you keep going on like that, I swear--”
