狐火 Update

Chapter 1

Chapter Summary: A peculiar dream disturbs the peace in the Ainsworth home. Angst and fluff ensue.

My beta’s favorite quote:

(Text ID: She tried to find the places where her mother’s barely-there scent remained but ghosts were always harder to find the longer time went on.)

If you want to support me, check out my Ko-Fi!

Hope you all enjoy! I’ll try to start on the next chapter once the hectic week ends. Until then, I wish you all a happy and safe weekend.

first introductions

dear reader,

hello! i realized that i haven’t introduced myself in here, so here we go. i realize that i might just be speaking into the void here, but for all the travelers who have gone astray on this path, i bid you a warm hello, all the same!

my name is amihan, and i’m 19. i’m studying french (le fléau de mon existence 😩🤌) and spanish in college and i aspire to be a translator living in a cottage in the woods 😌 one of my greatest passions, however, has always been writing and i’ve been doing it since i was 13. i used to do both poetry and prose before i took a long three year break from writing after i gave the first draft of my first novel to someone who truly didn’t deserve it (a long story 😀).

but i’ve moved on from that.

at the moment, i’m stepping back into the swing of things and i really hope that this time, it sticks. i mainly write romance (to make up for the extreme lack of action in my life in that department) and magical realism. i’m not planning on writing anything to publish right now, but i am writing for my ships, in the meantime. my favorite books are the god of small things by arundhati roy and fahrenheit 451 by ray bradbury. i mostly read fanfiction though and my ships are (eternal) sterek, robinthorn, and (occasionally) destiel. i am a strong believer that transformative works are a truly valid genre of art, and if you don’t then you can gtfo 😌

my wips :

狐火 (out of darkness, came the light)

Summary:

Following the events of the war, Hatori Chise has returned to her home in Elias' cottage. She believes she has found peace in the warmth of her new family and she believes that she can truly say that she is happy. However, the darkness of her past remains to be unsolved and threatens to overtake her newfound serenity. As such, she has decided to avoid it ever since she decided to sell herself in the auction. However, a dream and the consequent arrival of a certain fox, may force her to learn about her past and find a way to make it a part of her story, instead of detaching herself from it.

Elias, being her student on human things, learns a lot as a result.

In other words, Chise's past catches up to her and stirs things up.

and that’s that! if you want to support me (no pressure, completely your choice!), i also have a ko-fi! it would be a big help in funding my transition (mtf). but never ever feel pressured to do so! i’m really happy to share my fics with you, and it only makes me happier if you find joy in the fics that i write!

so for the last time, that’s it! thank you all and i hope you learned something about me in this post! see you in my works!
