I am, in fact, still working on shit!

Here's a joker to make up for the fact that the next prompt is gonna be jumping right into the 20's- guardian.

Whyyyy why does Giovanna have like no lore?? I dunno if this is fan conjecture or a full AU but let's be honest not like it matters much because it feels like Arcsys made Giovanna and then immediately forgot about her. I wanna know how she met Rei, I wanna know how she ended up working for the Secret Service!! There's a lot of interesting story to be told, why is her lore on ggwiki like two sentences long

[harmlessghosty]

Not me drooling over the M-AU prompts this year…

Like, maybe instead of doing full-on AO3 fics, I can do little drabbles here or something.

Or just follow the vibe…

[directionerplusgleek]

Okay, I'm gonna do some (maybe a lot) of AU-gust this year. I'm obviously a Thomally fiend, but are there any other TMR ships people would like to see me write fics for? I feel like branching out a little since trying out new ships for Rarepair Bingo.

(I probably won't do Newtmas... Nothing again them, but there's already a lot of Newtmas fics out there.)

Stuck in the Middle with Pakkun

Chapter 7/7: I DO Know Why I Came Here Tonight Rating: M Pairing: KakaSaku Total word count: 8541

 "Not if you were the last person on earth." Sakura slammed the door behind her. She had some things to say, and the neighbors didn’t need to hear it. Not bothering to kick her shoes off, she stomped over to where he was laid back in her favorite chair, clearly making himself at home. It only pissed her off more. “What the fuck was that?!” Sasuke wasn’t cowed, in fact his only reaction was a slightly raised eyebrow. “Language.”  “You shot me.”  He had the gall to smirk at her. “That part was just for fun.”

Here's the current list of AUs

AU-gust day 12

12 Aug 23 Book Store

“Why don’t you just ask him out already!” MC rolled her eyes at her co-worker Yoosung. The blond barely did any meaningful work when the red-head was in the book store.

“That would be unprofessional.” Yoosung tsked. He unboxed books and set them on the cart, but his amethyst eyes hardly left the other man as he made his way around the stacks.

Saeran was about the same height as Yoosung, red hair, gorgeous mint green eyes, and apparently a voracious reader. Some days he would spend hours searching for books and sitting in the in-store café reading and sipping tea. The man had a store card and Yoosung always made a point to try and be his cashier, making small talk.

He came in so often that just about every employee knew him. It was unthinkable that he could read so fast, but they had all been spellbound at how fast he turned the pages on whatever book he was reading. The subject matter was impressive as well. Anything from romance, the classics, mathematics, science, language, and manga. It didn’t seem to matter as long as he found it interesting.

The man was pulling books from the Fantasy section today, but so far he didn’t seem to have found anything worth reading.

“Why don’t you make a recommendation?” MC suggested.

“Huh?” Yoosung raised his eyebrows.

“Go on, I’ll finish this.” She took the stack of books from Yoosung and gave him a gentle push. He hesitated, then walked towards the red-head, smoothing his yellow hair.

“Uh, hey, can’t find anything you like?” he squeaked out. Clearing his throat he looked away, embarrassed.

“Seems like the same plot over and over.” Saeran shrugged, setting another book back on the shelf.

“Do you like a lot of action?” Yoosung asked, eyes lighting up.

“Yeah, dialogue too, not so much into an overabundance of scene descriptions.” He answered.

“Oh! Then you might like this new collection, it’s based off the video game LOLOL. I don’t know if you’ve played it but it’s pretty accurate to the lore. They use a lot of the same magic system. Of course they take a lot of liberty with the weapon mechanics but that’s to be expected.” He walked towards the section the books were in, turning his head to make sure the man was following. He tried to shut up, but word vomit just spewed out of him.

“Characterization is insane! I mean, there are a lot of recognizable NPC’s and they use some of the same dialogue as in the game, but, if you don’t play you still enjoy the interaction, I think it’s more for the players to find some nifty Easter eggs.” He laughed.

Saeran followed silently. Making Yoosung try and fill the silence. He felt like an idiot with his flapping tongue. Was he boring the man? Was he just being polite but wanting him to shut up already?

“Anyway, here it is.” He pulled the first book in the series and handed it to Saeran. On the cover was a wizard with his hand out, a fireball in his palm and holding an ornate staff in his other hand. The other man turned it and read the back quickly, then turned to the first page and began to read. Yoosung stood awkwardly, not sure what to do. Should he walk away?

After a very long minute Saeran looked up and smiled.

“Thank you, I think I will like this. Do you play this game?” he asked.

“Yes, I’m kind of addicted.” He laughed.

“Maybe I’ll try it.”

“You should! It’s totally fun, and even more fun with friends.” Yoosung gushed.

“Really? Hmm, maybe you could come over and help me.” Saeran said.

Yoosung’s tongue went dry. Did he really just ask that? His eyes went wide and suddenly he couldn’t speak.

“Sorry, I guess I overstepped, nevermind.” Saeran blushed and turned to grab volume two of the series.

“No! I…I mean…” Yoosung stammered, “I can totally do that! It’ll be fun.”

“Yeah?” Saeran turned back and beamed at him. “Can I get your number? I’ll call you when I get the game and I’m ready to set it up, is that OK?”

“Absolutely!” Yoosung took his phone out and opened it up as Saeran did the same, they exchanged numbers and an awkward goodbye.

Was it a date? Yoosung hoped so.

Here is Sightless from the AU-GUST month. Don't hesitate to put your likes 😉.

[broken-clover]

The fact that I actually had something else is probably just as much a surprise to me as it is to you

Have some Punch-Out!! Been a hot second since I've made anything for it, and I suppose some adoptive paternal-figure Doc is a good way to slip back into it. He's the real MVP of the series, let's be honest with ourselves

[azuramarigold]

Tomorrow - starting August 1, 2023 - I will be posting short stories (or as short as I write them lol) on my AO3 and on here for AU-August.

Think most of them will be Ace Attorney related - but may throw in some Resident Evil cause why not lol

From my upcoming project: The Inter-Dimensional Job

“Nate what IS this place,” Sophie heard Parker whisper. “It looks like home but these people are weird.”

“They’re writers, dear,” Sophie muttered. “They’re really only aware of reality half the time, don’t you know.”

“Oh, okay, then,” Parker answered. Then, after a pause. “Do you happen to know when that time is going to start?”

Coming August 1!
