Hi! I'm Surreal! It's unlikely ill ever actually use this all that much, but in the unlikelihood that you ever see this page, I might as well tell you what I do.

I'm the author known as SurrealSupernaturalist over on ao3. I've written:

Hellchat - MHA group chatfic, 102k words, completed

Chargebolt: as much as I would love to celebrate this occasion

Chargebolt: there is a pressing matter we must discuss

The_Abyss_Beckons: our slow march to the inevitable and how every second is a moment we will never get back, spent feeling fleeting emotions in a sad attempt not to let the crushing existential dread set in?

Chargebolt: what no

Chargebolt: nicknames __________________________________________ AKA the Disaster Class gets a Discord!

The Scottish Safehouse Anthology (series) - TMA Teacher!Jon, currently 46k total, ongoing

A series of short, interconnected stories about a certain teacher and his students, and maybe some surprise guests along the way.

Jonathan Sims, The Archivist, teaches a year 13 elective class on Paranormal Sciences, because the school board took one look at his resume, saw The Magnus Institute listed as a previous workplace, and went 'we have a better idea' for his History teacher application. His first batch of students are not what he expected in the slightest, featuring: Kyōryokuna ‘Ko’ James, the Collector; Dian Cooper, hypersomniac goth; Christopher 'Kit' Wilson, tired barista; Alex Pierce, amateur paranormal investigator; Zuri Jelani, local sceptic; and Duke Murdock, Slaughter avatar in the making. There are also mugs. A lot of mugs.

those were kinder times - MCYT Double Life, Team Ranchers healing arc on the farm, 9k, complete oneshot

There was a space for him, in the crook of Tango's arm. It was knobbly and ran warm, and Jimmy was just slightly too tall, but there was space. Hand on scarred-soft hand, Tango reeled him in, and Jimmy found himself in the comfort of Nether embers and a heartbeat the same as his.

It beat the same as his.

(In that moment, his breath caught, and his mouth went 'oh'.)

(Tango was the best thing to happen to him.)

If you need to reach me but don't want to go through discord, you can do so here! I might not see it super fast, but this is a way. If you want some fic recs, -gestures above- help yourself! I do have other fics, but these are my most major in descending order.

It's kind of a cheesy post to be writing, but when I think about all of the things that have happened to me in the past year, and most importantly all of the friends I've made as a direct consequence of listening to this musical, I do genuinely think that this musical has changed my life, at least a little. This isn't so much a dedication to the musical itself (even though it has, for a year, been my favourite musical) but to my friends.

So here's to you, the five months of the hellchat, and that you're always there for me. Thank you.
