Hi Quin! Thank you for this! I have been thinking about these for a little while, and I am grateful for the opportunity to talk about them!

Last One Laughing

This platonic fic was for a mutual going through a hard time, and I wanted to give them something to laugh about. This is also where I truly fell in love with the Heart Pirates enough to want to put an OC in there with them. If you like stupid jokes, this is the fic for you.

Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes

One of the closest fics I've come to enemies to lovers. This fic was one of my favourites to write, simply because I enjoyed the idea of making Doflamingo a love-sick, yandere, subby mess. Chuck in the pollen trope and I'm just in love.

Shameless

A three-part series that was only meant to be a mini fic for Eustass Kid. This was where I first fell in love with the big guy and I began slipping away from the love of the Red Hair pirates. Of the fics I've written, I actually reread this one because I enjoy the second-hand embarrassment from the reader character I created. I don't think I've made a reader I've felt that internal shrieking at as much as this one.

Hey Doc

The way this was meant to be a silly writing exercise for an exhausted and exasperated doctor and their crew, it has now dived into something completely unexpected. I love writing this series so much, it's like a little bit of joy all wrapped up in a mess of silliness. The Kid Pirates need someone like this gn!reader, and I was happy to fill the spot. Just purely platonic shenanigans with a crew full of unhinged idiots.

Daughter of the Sea

Benn Beckman needed a small fic about what it was like to aid Shanks in raising baby Uta. I really wanted that softness from him, and I remember exactly how I was feeling when I wrote this in one sitting. I remember I started this at 6am with just a general idea, wrote various parts throughout the day between my duties and my job, and sitting in the bath until about midnight getting it all done. It played out like a movie in my head, and I adored the company it kept me.

Would Midnight be patient with my fellow discalculia girlies... I love her but am So So Pathologically Bad at math

Midnight teaches advanced algebra to cats, you'll be fine. She'll conjure up a fractal for you, color each part of the equation, show how each part interacts and what it looks like when you change it

She'll take you out to the beach and explain the wind and the tide, compare them to each axis on the formula she showed you, and modify one factor. The wind dies down and the sea becomes as smooth as glass.

"Smoothness for the-waves you-see?" She waits for you to nod, never rushing you along, even the most casual questions are genuine, "Excellent! For this is example of maths I-teach. Nature it-will-happen. Simpleness it-being. You-will-understand."

i never want to art again (will die and rot in agony and despair if i don’t create anything at all)

[angelmichelangelo]

welp. all the sainw angst got me alright. i know i technically already wrote a rip mikey's arm fic a while ago but @love-killed-the-superstar put a worm in my brain that i couldn't shake. still working on it but here's a lil sneak peek :)

For a second I thought the cow incident was over the weekend and I was about to book a flight to the UK to tuck you into blankets and make you huge piles of food and treatos.

Also thing. So I have zero and I do mean zero filter on my mouth. Mum likes to say the shit I say is why she has so many grey hairs. Now this isn't to say I'm a jerk or anything close to that. More that I'm a sassy thing and it's amazing that I still have a job. Example, yesterday at work my supervisor and an educator were showing these two students we have proper body mechanics for lifting heavy surgical trays.

Educator "just remember to bend and lift with your knees."

Me walking behind them "pop it like you want that anaconda to get some hun."

Educator and Supervisor "MA'AM" and government name while laughing.

Me walking away as I shake my ass "am I wrong?"

Anyways somehow I still have a job and I'm not entirely sure how. One supervisor wanted to get me drug tested and like 3 weeks later I accidentally gave him nightmares.

Love you hope your week going fabulous ❤️

stigy oh my god i am trying so hard not to cackle at your lack of brain-to-mouth filter right now.

i am fully high-fiving you over saying weird shit at work and somehow still keeping a job. i was well known for saying some truly off the wall shit at my last job (never mean or malicious, just stuff that made people go "parker!" in a scandalised tone while also laughing).

like that time one of my favourite co-workers came to find me in the stockroom and i said "i wish i was getting fucked as hard by dickheads in charge outside of work as i am inside of work" and i made her think she'd gone into premature labour because she was laughing so hard. i am very pleased to tell you she didn't go into labour because i would NOT have handled that well let me tell ya.

lmao i can promise i haven't been getting up to (many) antics at the moment. i've been good! just a few harmless pranks on my mum and an accidental midnight spidering.

love you too! and i hope your week goes most excellently! 💜

In my head i exist in an alternative universe where Misaki's gunshot doesn't kill her, she is taken to the safe house alongside Miri thereby creating a steady (kyu-chan still has the coffee shop to run and the image of a good Organization employee to maintain), trustworthy guardian for Miri, thereby giving Kazurei enough time to focus and deal with the organisation completely (because i can't imagine it would take just one day).

Cue some time later, after their last job is finished and the Organization is just a name in the sands of time, they return and since one of the main reasons Misaki is apprehensive of their relationship with Miri is because of their job, hey they're not hitmen anymore and she sees that they love Miri so much they literally took down an entire organisation so she could be safe, how could Misaki not let them have a place in their lives?

They bond over Miri and other stuff like Kazuki teaching her how to cook or she and Rei deciding to seek therapy, she has people by her side as the cancer proceeds and she can live knowing when she dies Miri wont be alone.

One big family and everyone is happier and all the better for it.

That's my au.

Holiday Hi-Jinks (Ch 5)

Rating: Teen

Category: Promptfic (for Christmas), Fluff, Humor (Situational Irony Goes Up To 11), Misunderstandings, Comedy of Errors

Pairing: Garou x Genos. Garou and Saitama Are Besties (and also drive each other crazy all the time).

Fic Summary: When Garou and Genos agree to watch Tareo for the holidays, chaos ensues. Genos accidentally ruins Christmas with science. Saitama confronts his arch nemesis (elves). And who the heck keeps melting all of Garou's snow monsters? Certainly not Reigen Arataka.

In this chapter: Genos has never been great with Santa Claus–or any other fairy tale, for that matter. Garou argues that these things have their place. This presents a few problems around the holidays.

Overly Honest Summary: In which Ca-Chan seizes the brief opportunity to complete her story from last year's Wanpanmas, just in time for this year's Wanpanmas. The prompt was "fairy tales," I used the suggestion pretty liberally since this chapter was inspired by a 2021 prompt. 🤣

“He’s been watching the TV Guide channel for two hours—kids aren’t supposed to do that, Gen. You broke him!”

“I believe his disposition has improved.”

“How could you possibly say that?” Garou hissed. “Look at him.”

Tareo, collapsed on the couch, stared blankly into the television screen. He’d been like that for hours—bathed in the dull light, he looked exceptionally dejected, beyond distraught.

Rover, snuggled up beside him, nudged the boy from time to time giving— gentle encouragement, booping Tareo’s hand with his scraggly black snoot, and above all, providing a calm, supportive presence.

Tareo had his arms around Rover, but stayed otherwise listless and still.

“Well, for one thing, he’s stopped crying,” Genos said. “And he appears to have settled on a channel.”

“C-Span isn’t a channel,” Garou sighed. “If he was that upset, you should have come get me. I was right upstairs.”

“I made a solid effort to de-escalate,” Genos said. “I believe I acted to the best of my abilities.”

“You never explained how this whole thing started,” Garou continued. “Just what the hell happened, exactly?”

When the torture/psychological horror fic you've been writing for almost 6 months has not only exceeded the word count of any of your previous works but has also provided you with semi-regular practice where you can see an obvious improvement in your craft and your ability to write to a schedule while also giving you the courage to share your work and receive critique when previously you nearly burst into tears when your best friend gave you minute constructive criticism and has opened your eyes to the absolute joy that is creating fanworks which you have spent nearly the majority of your teenage/adult life dismissing.

love writing fanfic because then four months later you can reread it, remembering very little of what you’ve written, and go “damn this writer really nailed exactly what i want out of this fictional relationship”
