For the five sentence prompts. (just read the strays drabble and am in love with dumpling!)

Dumpling curled closer to Elliot, purring softly.

Dumpling curled closer to Elliot, purring softly. Elliot gasped, sitting bolt upright at the unexpected soft touch. Tears were coursing down his flushed cheeks and his hands were shaking with the violent tremors left behind by his nightmare. His racing heart began to slow as he recognized the fluffy gray fur and bright green eyes of his companion. Dumpling looked up at him, tilting her small head to one side.

Elliot stared at her, his lower lip quivering. "S-Sorry," he said, softly, wiping at the tears on his face, though they didn't cease. "You-You scared me." Dumpling unfurled from her comfortable position, stretched her back and tail, and began to trot over to where Elliot laid his head back down on his pillow.

Dumpling pawed at the hand that was hiding his tear-streaked face, only to brush her soft head against his cheek. Her whiskers and fur scrubbed away his tears and tickled his skin and he giggled. Elliot sniffled and smiled at her, scratching her tiny head as she leaned into the touch.

"Thanks, Dumpling," he whispered. She curled up beside his face and purred softly until they both fell asleep.

Any or all! ✨(favorite comments?) 🦋(favorite character to write?) 🎨(fan art you’d like to see) 🤔 (would you write something canon?)

(For this)

✨️ Out of the comments you’ve received on your fics, what are two or three of your favorites?

THERE ARE SO MANY. Seriously, I've been super lucky in that all my readers have been amazingly kind. I want to cheat a little and say that all of the comments on Fallen Stars have currently made me cry a little bit, haha, just because I expected it to like...appeal to myself and like two other people, and then a whole bunch of you appeared. (Uh, I know some of you guys are on tumblr, so you, @blazernot, @kicktwine, @serenedash--you guys have all made me cry happy tears over the last week-ish, haha.)

BUT ALSO--a lot of the comments towards the end of Dandelion Seeds made me super emotional. Some of the final comments I got from you, @hallowed-nebulae, @chibifightfu, @roxasthatisastick, and a whole bunch of other people just made me super emotional, because that fic was such a big labor of love and I was so happy that it resonated with so many of you guys.

...Basically, a lot of you have made me emotional, haha, and I feel like I don't say it enough, but: thank you guys so much, both for the enthusiasm and the kindness. Ya'll are amazing.

🦋 Which character is your favorite to write?

Skuld!! I adore all of the Union Leaders, haha, but I think I've just been in Skuld's head so often (between...three long stories that I've written for her now) that I'm very attached to her.

That said, Luxu is also a ton of fun. He's that kind of manipulative, "you can never really tell what he's thinking" archetype that's really fun to explore. He's unsettling, and there's a lot going on in his head, and it makes it really hard to figure out what's genuine about him and what isn't. It makes him complex, and that's super interesting.

🎨 If someone were to make fanart of your work, what fic or scene would you hope to see?

ANY AND ALL. Haha, seriously, though, I'm excited any time I see fanart for my stuff. If I really had to choose, though, Skuld's confrontation with Luxu from On the Edge of Daybreak comes to mind, just because it was such an intense scene to write (and so much fun to finally get to).

🤔 Would you ever want to write something canon if you got the opportunity?

Oh, man, I have...so many mixed feelings on this one. Because on the one hand, getting to write canon KH content would be AMAZING. But on the other, it'd mean I probably couldn't write/read KH fanfic anymore, since there can be legal complications around that. Plus, I'd also...probably feel a little weird about it? Mostly in the sense that I don't feel like I deserve it more than anyone else, aha. So...it's a strong maybe.
