Ahhhh thank you Nico!!! This is very sweet, and I love the prompt!! Thank you so much!! [written for this ask meme]

Hak took his duties as Yona’s bodyguard seriously.

…Even when it came to defending her from nightmares or sleep paralysis. 

The princess was always demanding, always loud. She’d never known pain or discomfort in her life, surrounded by the luxury and protection of Hiryuu Castle. That didn’t mean she was immune to nightmares, to fear, to anxiety. Hak could protect her from any foe, but he was never sure how to defeat these unseen demons for her. 

So he sat at her bedside instead, keeping vigil as she requested. Her hand was curled around his pinky, tucking it close to her cheek. He’d extinguished most of the lanterns in the room, leaving it dim, and her breathing had long evened out. So far, there wasn’t a hint of pain or distress from her, so her sleep was a peaceful one. 

Princess Yona may be sheltered, but she was no less caring. The subject of her nightmares was him, apparently, and she was fearful of his death.

(Note I’m not linking any of these, if you WANT my account you gotta ask off anon and also promise to not beat me with hammers.)

1. how many words have you written this year?

Oh lord. I have no idea how much I’ve written, because I’ve also written a bunch of essays for school, haha. But I’ve PUBLISHED 33,264. Not that much in comparison to a lot of people.

2. how many works did you publish?

7!

3. what work are you most proud of?

‘The Ghosts of Small Killed Things’

Mainly because it is my first work since writing again that has more than one chapter. It only has two chapters, but that’s a lot for me. U_U

4. what work has the most hits?

‘Gauze’

This one surprises me, because it’s my shortest story, and imo, one of my weakest.

5. what work got more feedback than expected?

Honestly? All of them! I’m always shocked anyone reads my works!

6. favorite title you used?

‘With Every Cut You Find Something New To Hate’ because I feel it’s the title that fits best with series it’s from. Silent Hill 2 has a lot of unsettling and creepy things written all around, and I hope it sounds like something that could be read in the game.

7. if you use song lyrics, what artist did you pull from most?

I haven’t used a lot of song titles this year, but ‘Born Sick’ was inspired by a line in a Hoizer song.

8. pairing you wrote the most for this year?

Vashwood… to the shock of NO ONE. I basically gave up on writing, until binge reading Trigun and falling deep into the hyperfixation hell.

9. favorite pairing you wrote for this year?

Vashwood my beloved. I’m not a multishipper and super picky about ships, so… you’re basically gonna be getting more of that next year sorry. lol

10. what work was the quickest to write?

Probably ‘Sugar Kisses’ my MillyMeryl smut.

11. what work took the longest to write?

‘The Ghosts of Small Killed Things’

12. how many wips do you have in your docs for next year?

3? I have a SH2 fic, Vashwood smut, and then a multi chapter AU for Vashwood as well.

13. what's your longest work of the year?

‘The Ghosts of Small Killed Things’ at about 14k, which is not much, but it’s a lot for me.

14. what's your shortest work of the year?

‘Gauze’ at about 1,500 words.

15. what work are you taking into next year with you?

My unpublished multi chapter WIP hehe

16. whats your most common "additional tags" tag?

‘Implied/referenced child abuse’ and ‘anal sex’ apparently. Idk what’s wrong with me. Many things, it seems.

17. your favorite character to write this year?

Nicholas D. Wolfwood, as expected. I NEED to chew on him. Abused Dog Vibes And Loving Nature Have Enchanted Me

18. the character that gave you the most trouble this year?

Pyramid Head, due to being the non speaking, extremely phallic manifestation of James’s desire for punishment. I was super worried he would come off as either too over the top or too goofy.

19. what pairing do you want to explore next year?

MillyMeryl! They’re very fun to write

None, I’ve reread each about once? I don’t like my own writing very much, hahaha.

Whatever I think fits the Vibe of the story, to get myself in the right headspace.
