And here it is, as promised.

Title: Drowning in You

Jotaro x Kakyoin | First Dates | Light on the Plot

The boys visit an aquarium and have a little heart to heart.

Reminder that this is an AU where stands don’t exist and they live vaguely in America. Everything else is pretty much the same. Also yes it’s technically a sequel to “Kiss Me Stupid” but the context doesn’t really matter save for some vague allusions.

As it turns out, it was harder than either of them expected to plan a first date. Jotaro had little experience thanks to the fact that he’d always turned down any advances he received. And Kakyoin wasn’t much help either.

Jotaro knew the other guys often took girls to the local diner for lunch and milkshakes. But Kakyoin shot that one down immediately. Too many of their classmates frequented the place and he didn’t want to get spotted. Even despite Jotaro’s promises that he could keep them safe. Going somewhere further was out of the question too since neither of them knew how to drive yet. Though Jotaro vowed immediately to learn so that they might consider it in the future. The suggestion that they go watch a movie ran into a similar issue as of the two theaters in town, one was always bustling with students and the other was a drive-in.

The two had exchanged phone numbers and decided to continue the conversation at home. Which is where they were now, with Jotaro leafing through the yellow pages and offering suggestions. “Shopping? Are you the kind of person who likes shopping?” he asked halfheartedly.

Kakyoin scoffed a little, “What, just because I hang out with girls? Do you even like shopping? If we’re doing something we should both enjoy it.”

Jotaro shrugged even though he knew Kakyoin couldn’t see it. “I was actually asking more cause you dress pretty smart. But you’re right, that’s hardly my thing. Besides, my mom likes making clothes so that’s where most of my stuff comes from. And then I modify it myself afterwards.”

“I didn’t think your chains and delinquent look were store bought,” Kakyoin laughed. “Okay, what else is there?”

The sound of flipping pages came through the speaker. Along with the rustling of cloth as Jotaro adjusted the phone against his shoulder. Freeing up his hands to properly peruse the book, “There are some nicer restaurants around here if we want to go back to the dinner idea,” he proposed. “I’ll bet the people you’re worried about spotting us probably don’t have the money to go to places like that.”

“Which means we don’t either,” Kakyoin rolled his eyes.

“Good point.”

Kakyoin sighed and rustled some pages of his own on his end. Specifically some newspapers from that week, “Did you know an aquarium opened up in town last weekend?” He commented, just to have something to say.

“We should go.”

“Really?” Kakyoin paused, “I mean, I’d be happy to but… Well I just didn’t take you for the academic type, no offense. You don’t think it’s too dorky?”

“No way,” Jotaro reassured him, “I think the ocean’s cool. Though the guys you’re worried about probably won’t agree. And the lighting in those places is usually dark enough that nobody’s gonna look too close at us anyway.”

Kakyoin smiled to himself at how accommodating Jotaro was already being. Nothing like he’d expected from the boy’s tough as nails exterior. “Let’s do it then.”

Which is how the pair finally found themselves at their local aquarium on a Saturday afternoon. Jotaro led the way through dimly lit halls, surrounded on either side by floor to ceiling glass. Exotic looking fish swam back and forth as the water cast rippling reflections across their faces.

It was those particular reflections that drew Kakyoin’s attention towards Jotaro. The boy walked with his head tilted back. Staring in awe at the sealife around them. His face uncharacteristically on display, with the brim of his hat no longer hiding his expression at this angle. Allowing Kakyoin to admire his look of wonder unobstructed. “Beautiful,” he whispered.

“What was that?” Jotaro’s head ducked downwards to look at his companion and his face was thrown into shadow once more by the brim of his hat.

“I- I said the fish are beautiful,” Kakyoin stammered.

Jotaro smirked. Kakyoin had taken on the same shade as his hair. But he said nothing and turned back to the view around them instead. “I think they’re beautiful as well,” he declared. “Look there,” he pointed down at the tank closest to them, “A starfish. Did you know they can regrow their limbs?”

Kakyoin raised his eyebrows in surprise, “That’s pretty amazing. Imagine if humans could do that. Just regrow an arm without concern.” He laughed a little at the thought, “No doubt people would be even more reckless if we could do that.”

“I’ll bet,” Jotaro laughed with him, “Oh and look there. A puffer fish. They inflate themselves with water to appear bigger and scare off predators. Though the sharp spines and poison help too, I’m sure”

“You sure know a lot about these things,” Kakyoin said curiously. It was a statement but the unspoken question hung over them nonetheless.

Jotaro nodded, “Of course, I want to study marine biology after I graduate. And then, my grandpa has connections to the Speedwagon Foundation. You know, the research group? I’m hoping to get a job working with them. To further our understanding of the ocean.”

Kakyoin let out a low whistle, “You sure have your life all figured out.”

“Hardly,” Jotaro chuckled, “What you want to be when you grow up is something adults ask all the time, isn’t it? Makes sense to come up with a good answer. Don’t you have some idea of what you want to do?”

“I guess I never thought I’d make it that far,” Kakyoin said softly.

Jotaro frowned a little and tugged at his hat. “Good grief…” He looked around and pointed to a nearby wall, “Look there. The sign says dolphin shows, we should stick around for that. Dolphins are really smart, you know. They can be trained to do all sorts of stuff, just like dogs can.”

Kakyoin smiled at the obvious attempt to change the subject and pointed instead at Jotaro’s hat, “Why do you do that?”

“Do what?”

“You cover your face with your hat all the time. Why?”

Jotaro shrugged, a little caught off guard by the question. “I don’t like showing my face much.” He said simply, and hoped that Kakyoin wouldn’t pry further.

Kakyoin bit the inside of his cheek but managed to say, “Well I like your face.”

Jotaro felt his face heat up and was suddenly very grateful that he didn’t show his blush very easily. “Thanks.” His hand drifted instinctively upwards. Wanted anything but to be perceived. But he fought the urge to tug at his hat again and instead just smiled. “Thank you.”

The pair continued their walk through the aquarium in relative ease. Drifting closer together as they went. Tugged along by invisible currents. Though when their hands brushed accidentally against one another, Jotaro nearly jumped in surprise and drew back with a flinch. Kakyoin glanced at him in confusion. All that talk about protecting them and the threat of physical contact was enough to send him stumbling?

He wondered, not for the first time, if perhaps Jotaro wasn’t quite as untouchable as he seemed. Or at the very least, if he was simply guarded, rather than hostile. “You’re not at all what I imagined,” Kakyoin admitted.

“What do you mean?”

“I thought you’d be… scarier?”

Jotaro raised an eyebrow, “You aren’t scared of me?”

“I am,” Kakyoin laughed, “Or I was. I mean, before you… you know. But now, I don’t know. It’s just so hard to know what you’re thinking. I guess I assumed you were something of an asshole. All the girls ever talk about is how much of a bad boy you are.”

Jotaro grimaced, “I’m hard to read? I thought it was usually pretty obvious how I’m feeling.”

“The only thing I ever read on your face is ‘leave me alone’,” Kakyoin teased.

“To be fair that is what I tend to be thinking,” Jotaro deadpanned. Then added on hastily, and with much more sincerity, “But not right now. I’m having fun, I promise.”

Kakyoin smiled, “I’m glad. I’m having fun too.” He hesitated for a moment, “What about me? You mentioned at the fair that you’d been looking at me. So… did you ever think about talking to me before then? Or was that the first time you noticed me?”

Jotaro sighed, not used to anyone taking such interest in his opinion. And he mulled over the question for a while before answering. “I’d seen you around before that,” he admitted, “But any time I thought about talking to you I just ended up chickening out.”

“You’re kidding!” Kakyoin said with a look of surprise, “Jotaro Kujo, afraid to talk to me?”

“Well not scared of you exactly,” Jotaro said defensively, “It’s just that you aren’t exactly the kind of guy people expect me to talk to. And I really can’t be bothered to answer stupid questions like that.” He shook his head, “You know what my entourage is like.”

“Yeah, I do. Hence why I thought you might end up being an asshole anyway.”

Jotaro snorted in laughter, “Why did you agree to a date if you thought I might be an asshole?”

Kakyoin shrugged, “I dunno. I figured it couldn’t get much worse than what already happened. And besides there’s something about you. It’s almost magnetic. Maybe that sounds stupid.”

“Well, for what it’s worth,” Jotaro said gently, “You’re everything I hoped you’d be.”

“And what’s that, exactly?”

“Kind, different, a change of pace.”

Kakyoin bit the inside of his cheek. Jotaro swung so wildly between extremely closed off and stunningly blunt. It left him dizzy. So just to have something to anchor himself he reached out. And before he could talk himself out of it, he grabbed Jotaro by the hand and held on tight.

Jotaro fought the urge to push him away. Reminded himself that for once he wanted this. And spoke up carefully, “What happened to being careful?”

“Oh hush,” Kakyoin said, equally shaky. “No one’s watching anyway.”

I love the "kiss me stupid" fic!! could I request a part 2????

Yunno what, since I also got a similar request over on ao3 for this fic a while ago, yeah. I'll finally bite the bullet and make a part 2 for their first date. T'was never my intention but if ppl liked this first part then why not. So stay tuned for that, I guess :D

Hobie can't find Diane. He hasn't seen her in days. And sure, he's not one to worry. But how could he not? He checks everywhere, and then as a final resort - he asks Miles.

"You've seen Di?"

Miles gives him a sympathetic look. "Hobie, I'm really sorry." He says, and for a second Hobie thinks something is wrong. But no, it's even worse than he can imagine.

"I...I got her into this anime and now... I don't know man."

Miles introduces Disco-Spider Diane to Anime

[Aka Diane loves Gojo and writes smut on the DL]

Now Hobie has NEVER been jealous in his life. He'd be damned before he lets himself get jealous.

But when your girl is laid up on the couch watching JJK for two weeks straight and you walk in on her staring at this on the screen???

Going "Gojo~ 🥺 ... Sigh..."

🤨😐

When she starts watching BNHA, it's game over.

She's always talking about how cool Dabi is and how she wishes she had a hot morally questionable superpowered boytoy to squeeze.

Meanwhile Hobie is sitting besides her like 'I guess I'm just chopped liver, ain't I 😭. Might as well take this bloody guitar and end my misery, why don'tcha?'

She sees one photo of Mirko and goes 'Oh my god, Bie. She's literally just like me right? Babe, she's just like me? I remind you of her right? We like.. the same person 🥺'

And then THE COSPLAY BEGINS. Not that Hobie is complaining about Diane walking around in sexy cosplay outfits. It's just weird when he compliments her outfit, and she's like "Thanks! I got it from-"

And then proceeds to show him the most ridiculous anime character ever.

It starts leaking into real life.

They're in the middle of fights and whenever they win she stops to do a Jojo pose.

She wears Sailor Moon cosplay to Spider Society HQ and loudly proclaims "I'm a Sailor Scout. Not a Spider-person."

(Spider-Scout, the half Sailor-Scout, half Spider-person is not amused)

She says very loudly during a meeting "OMG isn't Miguel like, Levi from Attack on Titan but tall? Like he has to use the lazer webs to fly in the air the same way Levi needs the wires to kill Titans and-

And everyone is like GIRL WHAT and Gwen, the only other person who has ACTUALLY seen AOT is like "No?? Diane. What are you talking about??"

It all comes to a head finally when one day Hobie comes to eat lunch with Diane.

He's always fashionable late within reason, but he walks into the cafeteria to see Diane hunched over a notebook, writing away.

That's rare.

With her dyslexia, Diane hardly ever writes - typically Hobie reads books outloud, recording them on cassette tapes for Diane to listen to later. But here she was, scribbling away.

And even in her twisted tiny handwriting he could make out the words

'Gojo x Black!Reader: Eyes like Oceans'

Hobie has no idea what the word 'Smut' means, but she's written it all over the page with the words "MINORS DON'T READ!!!!"

When he asks what he's doing, she jumps out her skin.

Hobie fights back a smile. And maybe even a laugh. "You writing fanfiction?"

"Maybe. No. Yes."

"What? You think Imma tease you? Can't be that bad can it-"

Cue Hobie reading most raunchiest, detailed, hoe-ish Gojo smut imaginable while Diane sits there like

Meanwhile Hobie side-eying the hell outta her 😭😭

She's like "We don't need to talk about the blindfold part-"

"And the part with the spankin-"

"I SAID WE DON'T NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT."

Finally, after weeks - Hobie caves.

He agrees to watch ONE anime with her and Miles, cause he wants his girl back wth 😭😭

Miles gets to choose - and he chooses one he thinks Hobie will like: Death Note.

Hobie doesn't just like it - HE LOVES IT.

Except....

"Oi, why's this L coming after Light? Mans is in the right."

"Uhhh?? No??? He's killing people with a magical notebook. L is in the right."

"And I kill people with a guitar, ain't no difference."

"Yes there is-"

"Oh but when Jogo kills people it's fine but when I-"

"FIRST OF ALL his name is Gojo and second of all Do NOT bring up my man. Hobie we will get to brawling right now, don't test me-"

Meanwhile Miles is like "WILL THE TWO OF YOU SHUT UP 😭😭😭😭 GODDAAAMMNN."

.... They agree to disagree. And Miles regrets his decision.

Now Everytime Hobie catches her watching anime Hobie will point at the screen at Diane's character crush and go "Bet I could beat his arse" - just to establish dominance.

Is he jealous? NO! Is Gojo his mortal enemy because he stole his girl without even being real? YES!!!

It's okay Hobie. Just cosplay as Sasuke Uchiha and you'll have her back right away. Maybe.

[potatogirlll]

so, jojos and autism

Since it's 7 am and i have nothing else to do, I've decided to compile a list of Jojo characters that i think may be autistic. Because there are. A LOT.

Part 3

Jotaro: dude. He is literally THE most autistic anime character I've ever seen in my entire life. How he gets upset over stupid shit but remains calm during actually distressful situations. How he's mostly quiet and his expression is always the same. HOW HE THINKS EVERYONE ELSE KNOWS WHAT HE IS THINKING. and also that one clip with koichi where he is UNABLE to make small talk. Yeah

kakyoin: Self isolated masking child prodigy that memorizes random trivia he finds and uses it as a conversation starter. Literally feels like he is alone in the world and no one can understand him because no one tries and no one can, he also has an extremely internalized displeasure and apathy towards the world... This is mostly subtext but if you pay attention its there, i love my boy

Part 4

Kira: extreme anxiety over his nails, masks all the time, kind of infodumps, lack of empathy, obsession with his routines, etc. This one i am not so sure about, as he definetely has antisocial personality disorder and his obsessions with his routine and his nails could be interpreted as OCD. just some thoughts

rohan: OK HEAR ME OUT. No social awareness, has a very specific way of writing his manga, DOESNT CARE WHEN HIS HOUSE IS BURNING DOWN AND WANTS TO KNOW HOW JOSUKE CHEATED. Licks a fucking spider and doesnt see the problem!!!!!!! ik yall hate him (affectionately????) but i just had to say this.

Part 5

Giorno: usually monotonous voice, thinks outside of the box, always the same expression, socially distant. This one is mostly a gut feeling, but it could also be interpreted as him being a very traumatized kid.

Part 6

Weather Report: RAPTOR HANDS? ONLY WHISPERING TO PEOPLE HE TRUSTS IN FRONT OF PEOPLE HE DOESNT KNOW? TIPTOEING??? yeah

Anasui: (disclaimer: i hate jolysui i hate him as a person i hate how the manga did him i hope he just stays in his little queerplatonic relationship with weather while taking care (very horribly might i add) of emporio and never is exposed to the outside world. i love him. ughhhhh) lack of social cues, especially with jolyne, obsession with dismembering things, extreme emotional outbursts,,, the signs are there, but it could also be interpreted as ocd, ocpd and intermittent explosive personality disorder, respectly. whatever.

Pucci: uses prime numbers as stimming mechanism, kind of sees social interactions unconventionally, lack of empathy (but not as much as kira, also no clear malicious intent, so i dont think hes coded as a psychopath?). Again, could be interpreted as OCD.

not gonna add foo fighters because theyre literally plankton but they do have autistic traits

i havent finished part 7 and havent started part 8. as of writing this, part 9 currently just released its first chapter, and i dont see any autistic traits in any of the characters rn. might edit this in the future and add anyone that i might have missed or just discovered through reading the later parts. Thats all i wanted to say, thanks 4 reading

// ranking heartbreak high ships //

- includes canon and non canon ships, basically any ship I could think of

PERSONAL opinions. k anyway

Malakai/Amerie — 8/10 - listen they’re great but also make me wanna rip my hair out sometimes, amerie girl you pissed me off BAD in s2 (and s1 tbh) and malakai… christ I need you wrapped in bubble wrap and kept in a secluded room so you stop getting traumatized

Cash/Darren — 7/10 - they need to learn to talk to one another in depth, other than that slay eshay being in love with eccentric non binary character

Spider/Missy — 9/10 - need more screentime, spider PLEASE don’t ruin this, missy get better friends <3

Ant/Harper — 6/10 - not my favorite but I have nothing against them, and I instantly jump to defend them to those ant/spider shippers cause yall are doing far too much trying to make harper the bad guy

Sasha/Quinni — 5/10 - okay it would be higher going off s2 alone but both seasons combined could go either way, I do believe in their redemption tho platonic or romantic tbh

Rowan/Malakai — 6/10 — cute at first but rip malakai he deserved a better first queer relationship than that shit frfr

Rowan/Amerie — 4/10 - I didn’t like them as much as I liked rowan & malakai together

Dusty/Amerie — 1/10 - only reason they’re getting a 1 is cause in old wips made them a whole angst plot point in my amerie/spider fics and it was fabulous

Dusty/Harper — 6/10 - COULD be cute if dusty wasn’t completely fucked, like they were cute to me pre the end of s1, but also fuck dusty he can go choke

Spider/Amerie — 7/10 - they were my ride or die for a hot second, still miss the brainrot I had of them, but s2 kinda gave us nothing so 💔

Spider/Ant — 4/10 - yall won’t like me for this one but I do truly think spider only ever sees ant as a best friend, ant pinning and it being unrequited? sure. them being madly in love? I just can’t see it 😭 also their fans ruined any chance they had for me liking them so

Spider/Malakai — 10/10 - yeah they barely interact but I don’t care still a 10/10 for me (is anyone surprised)

Spider/Dusty — 6/10 - same rating as harper/dusty cause I see them very similarly, they would have potential for some pre-canon shit and like secret relationships and shit that would be so much fun to mess around with but also FUCK dusty I hate his ass

Spider/Harper — 7/10 - was one of my og ships and I’ll never get over them, they hate each other in canon but that’s what makes it tasty

Quinni/Harper — 5/10 - I could totally see this but it’d have to be s2 on cause I think unmasked quinni would be such a good gf for harper & vice versa

Amerie/Harper — 5/10 - meh, not my least favorite but not my ride or die, I do have a good edit of them up tho cause they give me those good good friend-crush-repression vibes

Missy/Sasha — 3/10 - sasha cheated, missy deserves better, I do wish we got more lore for them tho

Ant/Zoe — 7/10 - hilarious give me 20 of them. ant being best friends with spider really plays this up for me, also I think ant could get zoe to chill the fuck out a bit like he does with spider but also zoe could teach ant some shit

Ant/Malakai — 4/10 - don’t get it that much but don’t hate it

Woodsy/Jojo — 10/10 - they’re canon wdym

Woodsy/Voss — 1/10 - it definitely happened but like- brother eugh yk

honorable mentions ->

Malakai/Spider/Amerie — 10/10 - do I need to explain??

Dusty/Spider/Harper — 8/10 - I could go into heavy detail but I won’t, just know they’re fucking insane and nasty and I love them

You write first person getting fucked up scenes so good, you put a lot of detail into it and I was wondering if there was any particular reason?

Like the multiple scenes in your fics whether it be Adrestian Tail or Eagle among Lions of specifically Edelgard being met with an untimely demise and being saved by a byleth rewind are some of my favorite scenes.

Like in EAL the arrow scene it could have just been something like a cut to the rewind but you put in the effort to make us imagine what getting an arrow through the eye and slipping towards death would feel like alongside Edelgard. You go that extra mile, you want us to experience that for a reason and I love it about your writing!

thank you! i'm so glad you enjoy that aspect of my writing because those sorts of scenes are some of my favorite to write!

when i write, i have a very clear mental image of what's going on playing in my head like a movie, and the way i do prose is to try to capture those images with as much detail as possible. and because prose isn't as suited to describing how something looks as drawings are, the most effective way to capture those images is to translate them into how things feel.

so with scenes of people getting fucked up, whether it's grievous wounds and fatal injuries or body horror, i try to channel something like jojo's bizarre adventure where the the details of what's happening really sit with you in a very visceral and pulpy way. except obviously i can't draw like araki, or at all. but remember how it felt reading jojos and seeing things like jolyne ripping off viviano westwood's toenail in part six, heavy weather turning people into snails, or damo using his stand to melt the higashikatas in part eight? especially from part three onward, jojo's bizarre adventure has always reveled in people getting fucked up in a way that can genuinely make your stomach churn, and i wanted to write stomach-churning prose to capture how it feels for araki to depict and linger on the human reactions to seeing or experiencing those sorts of things.

remember that part of rohan kishibe's introduction in part four where he cuts open a spider and then tastes it to "understand" it better so he can capture its essence more effectively in his manga? well i haven't eaten any bugs but i think rohan's exaggerated actions convey. obviously when you're writing action and adventure stories, let alone sci-fi and fantasy, you don't have the luxury of trying some things out for yourself, but then again, i don't think araki eats bugs either, regardless of how his delightfully unhinged author stand-in behaves.

(with lizard boot camp, i might have succeeded in depicting edelgard's experiences too well, because i had one reader tell me it made them vomit. i think it was the bit with the pin feathers. they make me queasy too!)

in eal, one of the things i really enjoyed was trying to get as deep into edelgard's head as possible, since she's the sole pov for the entirety of the first act and the vast majority of the second. you're stuck in her head and you are going to get intimately acquainted with her—with her philosophies, with her romantic side, with her loneliness and grief, with her long-standing trauma, with her ratcheting paranoia as the situation around her intensifies, and with the terror and horror that comes with all the shit i put her through. i wanted the reader to feel everything she felt. especially because, like—she's edelgard, and one of the central problems with the fe3h fandom is that not enough people make the effort to understand her in the first place. and because over the course of an eagle among lions she feels so many things i doubt many people have felt before* (like how it feels to get shot in the eye, turned into a dragon, and blown out of an airlock like the xenomorph queen in aliens) i wanted to make sure the reader received enough detail to experience all those exciting, novel things along with her. and also get a new perspective on the things that are exciting and novel to her but mundane to us, like radios, computers, guns, and pizza.

i think a review of eal i got from LordXamon on the parahumans fanfic subreddit earlier this year captured everything i set out to do better than anything else i could say:

I read the story because this El is such a great MC. Not only is she super cool (again, time traveler leftist revolutionary queer empress), but the writing really makes me empathize in ways not many fanfics can. When El cries, I cry. When El is furious, I get furious. When she hurts, I wince. When El laughs, it puts a smile on my face. When she messes it up, I feel bad for her. When the body horror happens, it makes my stomach sick. When she delivers one of her speeches, it makes me want to vote for her.

in terms of my fic writing, eal really took the "people getting fucked up"-ness to the next level though, and in addition to the above reasons, part of that probably comes from pandemic madness and also me binge-watching re:zero, which delights in fucking its hero and his allies up in increasingly elaborate and gruesome ways while playing with time loops. so far, aria of the black eagle is pretty tame by comparison, so maybe i've worked some of it out of my system?

thanks again for your question and comment, i had so much fun talking about writing and this story with you!

* p.s. if you or anybody else reading this know from firsthand experience what it feels like to get tfed into a dragon, please tell me how you did it/how it happened to you

Kiss Me Stupid

Jotaro x Kakyoin | No Stands AU | American Highschool AU

CW: Internalized and Period-Appropriate Homophobia (mild)

Kakyoin and Jotaro's first proper encounter doesn't go quite as planned.

Also, a little bit of context:  Holly managed to get Sadao to move to America instead of her going to Japan. Jotaro still got named by his dad as a compromise and Kakyoin is a new transfer student. Hence the situation

“How much money have we made so far?”

Kakyoin put a hand up to gesture for quiet as he finished painstakingly counting out the last of the pile of change before him. “Nearly thirty dollars,” he said, sounding somewhat surprised. “Honestly more than I expected.”

Maria laughed and gave him a playful shove, “Kakyoin Noriaki, are you calling me ugly?”

“Of course not,” Kakyoin said quickly and smoothly, “Both your appearance and your personality are lovely, and clearly I’m not the only one who thinks so.” He shook the lockbox of cash to illustrate his point and laughed, “I just don’t think I quite realized how desperate American teens were. Whatever happened to romance?”

“Oh come on,” Maria giggled and rolled her eyes at Kakyoin’s cheesy compliments. “You’ve lived here for how long now? It’s just how things are.” She sighed and checked her reflection in her compact mirror, smoothing out a nonexistent flaw in her hair. “Might as well take advantage of it for a good cause, right?”

The two were currently taking a quick lunch break from the attraction they were managing at their school’s fundraising fair. More precisely, Maria had been talked into running the kissing booth this year and she’d dragged Kakyoin along to keep her company and act as a cashier.

Kakyoin wasn’t sure when he’d earned a reputation as the one guy the girls could trust. But he supposed it was an accurate enough description and he couldn’t say he minded much. There weren’t very many guys at the school that he was too interested in hanging out with anyway. The girls tended to be much kinder. And besides, the guys he was interested in were also the guys who’d never spare him a second thought. Better to be somewhat patronized by the girls than getting beat up by a boy who decided he’d been staring for too long. Kakyoin sighed inwardly, he sure knew how to pick ‘em.

---

“Hey, are you even listening?”

Jotaro blinked in surprise, pulled abruptly back to the present from his daydreaming by the grating voice of one of his friends. Truth be told, friend was a rather generous term to describe his current entourage. But at least they were less annoying than the air-headed girls that tended to flock to him. Chirping like birds and driving him out of his mind. If nothing else, these guys didn’t flirt and weren’t liable to start crying if he was too much of a jerk. Sometimes he swears they were just as desperate for his approval though. But when that happened, all he had to do was call them out and they’d back off for fear of seeming “gay”. Jotaro bit back a gag, assholes.

“Yo, where’s your head at, man?” one of them asked, sidling up way too close for comfort.

“Must have left it at home,” Jotaro deadpanned, leaning away from him. “And I’m starting to think joining it would be more fun than hanging out with you jackasses.”

The guys laughed and hollered at his comment, squabbling amongst themselves and Jotaro took the chance to withdraw from the conversation once more. Truth be told he wouldn’t even be here today if it wasn’t for his mom. She’d insisted he get out of the house and have some fun. Mistaking his peacocking fanclub for actual friends, even if she didn’t really approve of him gaining such a delinquent reputation. He didn’t have the heart to tell her that most of them only hung around him in hopes of getting attention from the girls he rejected.

“Jotaro, what do you think?” he made a halfhearted grunt to show he was listening which the speaker took as a prompt to keep talking. “Ms Parker is pretty hot, isn’t she?”

“Yeah, that’s why you’re flunking math, isn’t it? You keep staring at her ass instead of your paper.”

More obnoxious laughter erupted as the one who’d spoken clapped Jotaro on the back with a wild grin, “Come on dude, you know that’s not an insult to me.”

Jotaro tugged his hat further down over his eyes and hid a scowl. Of course it wasn’t, “Good grief.” He swore he lost more brain cells talking to these guys than the lot of them put together had to spare. His gaze drifted distractedly, as it had been doing all morning, over to the kissing booth. Though his attention was turned not on the girl running it, but rather the pretty redhead next to her.

He was pretty sure his name was Kakyoin. And if it weren’t for the benefits that came with having a scary reputation, he seemed like the kind of guy Jotaro could see himself getting along with. Quiet and kind, but self assured. For a moment he let himself imagine going over, introducing himself, and finally having someone he could just relax with. A friend who didn’t need him for self serving reasons. A friend, and maybe somewhere down the line…

“Hey, what do you keep looking at?” One of the guys asked, throwing an arm around his shoulder and leaning in to follow his gaze.

“Jotaro’s distracted by the kissing booth,” another crowed, sending laughter rippling through the group.

“Hey you should go get a kiss,” someone snickered.

“Nah man, that’s too easy,” came the rebuttal before Jotaro could even think to reply. “Any bitch would kiss him for free. He should try to get a kiss from the dude.”

More laughter.

“Yeah yeah,” cheered the guy who’d spoken first. Maybe? Jotaro was losing track. He didn’t particularly care either, not at the moment. Not when he was too busy reeling from the suggestion that he go and kiss Kakyoin. That seemed… wrong. Right? So why was he so intrigued by the idea? “Just look at the guy, and his dumbass hairdo. Did he dye it pink? What a loser.”

“Not to mention the way he dresses, he’s practically a girl anyway, ain’t he?”

All eyes turned to Jotaro, malicious grins on each of their faces that made Jotaro’s stomach turn. He put on a face and scoffed, “Yeah, right. What’s in it for me if I do, huh? I have better things to do than play along with your stupid dares.”

“Oh come on, did we finally find the one thing Jotaro’s too chicken to do?”

“I’ll pay for your lunch if you can manage it.”

“There’s no way he’ll do it.”

“Seriously? But it’ll be funny.”

Jotaro mentally kicked himself for what he was about to say. Truth be told, he didn’t actually need convincing, just had to protest enough for the guys not to suspect anything. The last thing he needed was for more rumors to start flying over a single kiss. That was definitely not worth it. But he couldn’t deny the fact that he was curious. And Kakyoin was really cute. Not that these idiots needed to know that. “Alright alright, fine,” he said, putting his hands up. “Who’s scared, right? But I’m holding you to that lunch money.”

Cheers sounded off as the one who’d offered the bet jokingly tried to weasel his way out of the deal. “You’ll have to convince him to actually kiss you first, Jotaro,” he whined. “And if you fail, you buy me lunch, fair?”

“You’ve got a deal,” Jotaro said, already distracted as he began to walk towards the booth. His gang trying and failing miserably to watch him with any sort of discretion.

Just as he walked out of earshot, he heard one of them snicker to another. “Get ready to pay up dude, that guy’s always hanging around with chicks yet he’s still single. I’ll bet anything that he won’t even need convincing. What a freak.”

Well that was something he hadn’t been aware of.

---

"Dollar for a kiss right?"

Kakyoin glanced over at the latest customer without really turning away from sorting the latest handful of cash. His hand faltered when he registered what he was looking at. The tall imposing figure of someone he recognized as one of the delinquents.

Jotaro Kujo.

Kakyoin tried to tell himself he only remembered his name because he was the one other Japanese student at the school. Or rather, the one other student with a Japanese name. If he had to guess, Kakyoin would say Jotaro was probably mixed. Not that it mattered, because what reason did he have to care about Jotaro? Tall, dark, brooding, and the object of obsession for most of the girls he hung out with. If Kakyoin was the “boy next door” then Jotaro was the “bad boy” who stood untouchable above the average crowd. Honestly, Kakyoin could see the appeal. Not that he’d ever admit that out loud.

"Absolutely," Maria said with a big grin, startling Kakyoin back to the present and he blushed slightly, realizing that he’d been staring. She reached out eagerly to take his money but he snatched it away before she could. Maria couldn’t help but do a slight double take at the gesture but regained her composure quickly enough. She knew all about him of course, what girl at this school didn’t? Everybody wanted to know more about the mysterious Jotaro Kujo, and she was no exception. But something about the situation felt… off.

"Not you," Jotaro said stiffly, tugging down his hat with his free hand and refusing to make eye contact. "Good grief," he mumbled before speaking up again. "With him." He jabbed an accusatory finger at Kakyoin, still not quite looking at him.

Kakyoin sat up straighter with a panicked expression as Jotaro gestured towards him. He felt his whole face heat up as he stammered out a reply. "Oh I'm just the cashier," he managed, sounding strangled.

Feeling more than a little snubbed, Maria put her hands on her hips and was about to snap back with a snarky reply when movement in the background caught her eye. Curiously, she looked past Jotaro’s shoulder and she couldn’t quite hide the shift in her expression when she caught a group of guys giggling with each other and pointing blatantly at Jotaro. Guys she recognized as members of Jotaro’s little entourage. She frowned a little, feeling a rush of pity for Kakyoin. And Jotaro as well, to some extent. He clearly didn’t feel entirely comfortable participating in this prank, if nothing else.

With a little difficulty, she managed to catch Jotaro’s eye and gave him a knowing nod before turning her attention back on Kakyoin, who had seemingly forgotten how to breathe. While Maria struggled for how to proceed, Kakyoin had turned stiff as a board and was unable to look anywhere but at Jotaro.

As gently as possible without raising his suspicion, Maria forced a laugh and smiled teasingly at Kakyoin. “Well you heard the boy, what do you say?”

Kakyoin tore his eyes away from Jotaro and rubbed awkwardly at the back of his neck. “I don’t know about that, Maria,” he stammered, “This is your job. And I don’t. I mean, what if people…”

Maria bit back a scream and silently pleaded for Kakyoin to just play along. The sooner they got this over with the better, and it seemed like Jotaro had something on the line. Even if she didn’t know what. “Come on Kakyoin, it’s for charity.”

Jotaro grimaced, “You don’t have to,” he said slowly, “Sorry, this was a stupid-”

“Oh come on!” Maria interrupted. Don’t hurt his pride, she thought at Jotaro, hoping he’d pick up. If you let on that he’s being made fun of he’ll be crushed. “Here, I’ll introduce the two of you. Kakyoin, meet Jotaro. Jotaro, meet Kakyoin. There, now it’s not so bad.”

Kakyoin let out a painfully awkward laugh. “Thanks, Maria.” He held out his hand and Jotaro accepted the handshake a little stiffly. “Well, I can’t argue with that. I’m game,” he said, sounding more confident than he felt. “It’ll be funny right? Two guys kissing. Comedy.”

“Hilarious,” Jotaro agreed gruffly.

Nervously, Kakyoin leaned, closed his eyes, and braced himself for rejection up until the last second when he felt Jotaro’s mouth against his. It wasn’t his first kiss but it might have been his weirdest, he thought. It was certainly his most nerve wracking. And though it was over as quickly as it started, Kakyoin felt like he must have been there for an eternity. He braced himself just in time to not fall face first over the booth when Jotaro pulled away and he noticed that he’d been gripping the edge of the table so hard that his knuckles were starting to turn white. He cleared his throat awkwardly, his mouth felt impossibly dry, and his face was so hot that he must be redder than his hair.

Curiously though, and he might have been imagining it, but he could have sworn Jotaro was shaking worse than him. But in an instant it was gone and Jotaro regained his tough as nails confidence. “See you around,” he said with a nod and tapped Kakyoin on the shoulder, nearly knocking him over. And with that he was gone.

“Pinch me, Maria,” Kakyoin breathed as he watched Jotaro leave. “Did that just happen?”

Maria grimaced, “Nope?” She shook her head and added under her breath, “Though I wish it hadn’t.”

Kakyoin let out a shaky breath, his eyes still not leaving Jotaro. “I wonder why he did that,” he said quietly, “What in the world-” he cut off abruptly and Maria winced next to him. Together, the two of them watched Jotaro rejoin a group of cackling delinquents who immediately swarmed him with mocking laughter. Someone clapped him on the back, another groaned dramatically and handed over a handful of cash. Jotaro ignored them all, drawing his hat down further over his face and stalked away. “Oh.”

“Kakyoin,” Maria started softly but Kakyoin had already gotten stiffly to his feet.

“I’m going to the bathroom,” he said, his voice sounding strained.

Maria frowned and made an attempt to grab Kakyoin by the sleeve but her fingers closed on empty air. “Kakyoin, wait!” she called after him, “Hey come back! Those guys are assholes, who cares what they think? We know you’re not-” But he was already out of earshot. She hesitated for a moment, debating whether she should go after him. But people unaware of the situation were already starting to drift towards the booth again.

He can take care of himself, Maria thought decidedly and turned to put on her best smile.

---

Jotaro couldn’t get his mind off the encounter. Of all the uncomfortable interactions, that one had to take the cake. Mostly because he’d pictured his first kiss a million times before and never had he imagined it would go like that. His soured mood seeped out of him so toxic until even his entourage made excuses to leave him alone for the day.

He could have just gone home. Probably should have, really. There was no way Kakyoin would ever want to talk to him again. He probably thought Jotaro incredibly creepy at this point. But he could not quite bring himself to leave. Not that he went back to stealing glances at Kakyoin either. In fact, he quite pointedly avoided that entire side of the fair for the rest of the day. Until at last he felt like he had to go tell the truth.

Kakyoin deserved to know what the deal was with that damned kiss. And things were starting to wrap up for the night anyway so it was now or never. But when he finally dragged himself back to the kissing booth, he was surprised to find Maria cleaning up alone. “Hey,” he said, uncharacteristically softly.

Maria looked up with a tired expression, “Oh, it’s you again. Hi Jotaro.”

Jotaro swallowed nervously, “Is Kakyoin still here?”

“I don’t know,” Maria frowned, “And no thanks to you. He ran off after he realized you were making fun of him and never came back.” She gathered her things up in her arms and sighed, “I was supposed to be his ride home so I can only assume that he never left. But who can be sure?”

“I’m sorry,” Jotaro winced, “The whole thing was stupid. I just wanted to get the others off my back. And he wasn’t supposed to find out like that.” He frowned and shook his head, tugging nervously at his hat, “I guess he saw them talking to me afterwards, right?”

Maria nodded, “Yeah, he did. But it’s not me you should be apologizing to.” She walked around the booth to Jotaro’s side and gestured towards the school. “I feel bad too, you know. I pushed him into accepting the kiss. I noticed your friends before that and encouraged him anyway. I also hoped he would simply just not realize. He headed in the direction of the school. Let’s go look for him.”

“They’re not my friends,” Jotaro said by reflex, “But yeah, you’re right. I should apologize to him directly.” He squared his shoulders and fixed his hat one last time, “Let’s go.”

The two of them headed towards the school and split up once they reached the building. “Check the boys bathroom,” Maria instructed, “That’s where he said he was going. Even if it was a lie it’s a place to start. I’ll check his classrooms.”

Jotaro just nodded in silence and followed her instructions. But he stopped just one step outside the bathroom and paused. What would he even say if he did find Kakyoin? Repeat the things he’d told Maria? That had felt so much easier. He selfishly hoped he wouldn’t find him. But then he entered, and heard a soft sobbing coming from the furthest stall. “Kakyoin?”

The crying stopped instantly. There was a long moment of silence, and then finally a sniffle. "Not you again."

"Maria's looking for you,” Jotaro said awkwardly, “The fair's almost over."

“Okay.” Kakyoin said rather stiffly. “Go let her know I’m fine then, I’ll be out in a second.”

Jotaro almost did as he was told. Almost. But he never was good at following instructions. “How are you feeling?”

“Peachy.”

“For what it’s worth, I didn’t mean to upset you,” Jotaro said as he took a step closer to the source of Kakyoin’s voice.

Kakyoin sighed loudly and kicked the door of the stall but didn’t open the door. “What did you mean then? In fact, why are you even here right now? What do you want from me?”

“I’m here to apologize,” Jotaro frowned. That much should have been obvious. But that’s probably not really what he meant. “I mean, Maria was worried about you. And I felt bad.”

“Whatever,” Kakyoin snapped, “I told you already, I’m fine. So just leave me alone.”

Jotaro reached the stall and paused a moment before squatting down on the floor with his back to the neighboring door. It felt a little too bold even for him to lean against the door that Kakyoin had closed. “Anything I can do to make it up to you?”

Another heavy sigh. “What is this about for you? Cause if it’s just to soothe your own guilty conscience then you can leave now and not waste your breath. Don’t you think you’ve done enough already?” Then, just to throw salt on the wound he added, “I hope the money was worth it.”

“You even saw that?” Jotaro winced.

“Of course. Your friends weren’t exactly subtle.”

“They’re not my friends,” Jotaro insisted before he could even think to stop himself. Really not the time. “And no, it wasn’t worth it. But well, I told Maria this already, I only did it so they’d leave me alone.” He tilted his head back until it thudded against the stall door. “I guess that doesn’t help much. Sorry, it was stupid.”

Kakyoin kicked his door again, but it seemed less pointed than last time. More like he’d flinched and hit the door involuntarily. “Yeah, so stupid,” he agreed, sounding annoyed. “Why did I even think for a second that I was meant to be anything more than a punchline? You tough guys are all the same.”

“That’s not what I meant,” Jotaro said quickly. “You weren’t stupid. The kiss wasn’t even stupid. I was for agreeing to it. And for letting them catch me staring in the first place.”

“Staring at what?”

“The kissing booth.”

“Right.” Kakyoin bit the inside of his cheek and wondered if he’d sounded too eager when he asked. He cursed the flutter in his chest he’d felt for a brief moment. Berated himself that even after what had happened he couldn’t quite bring himself to hate Jotaro. “Sorry that they took your chance to kiss Maria then. I’m sure she would have loved it.” He fought back a new wave of tears. Why was he the one apologizing? He hadn’t done anything wrong.

Jotaro drummed his fingers on the ground and considered it for a moment before inadvertently validating Kakyoin’s optimism. “I was actually staring at you.”

Kakyoin scoffed, “Don’t make fun of me. I know what people say.”

“I’m not,” Jotaro insisted, “And don’t you call me a liar.” His heart was pounding. Why did he care so much that Kakyoin believed him? Why did he want his forgiveness so bad? “Good grief.”

Almost involuntarily, he carried on rambling. “I was looking at you but I couldn’t get away to talk to you. And even if I had, what would I say? So I just kept on looking and then they came up with that stupid dare and I guess in the moment I just didn’t see how I could back out.” His hand twitched and he wished he had a cigarette on him. “I have a reputation to maintain, you know.”

Dammit, he never let his guts spill like this. What was Kakyoin’s deal, even? Being so damn pitiful that Jotaro couldn’t help but try anything to patch up the situation. “You ever get yourself so deep into something that you feel like you can’t get out? Except that thing is your life. That’s what it is with the guys who hang around me. Nothing more.”

“So…” Kakyoin spoke his next words slowly. So painfully slowly and carefully, like pulling teeth. “Were you staring because you wanted to talk to me? Or because… I mean. Like, the kiss itself… Wasn’t… Bad? For me-”

“Yes,” Jotaro interrupted, “Yes I wanted to talk to you and also I don’t know. I think… You seem nice. And you’re pretty? I don’t know.” He clenched his fist anxiously, “I’ve never done this before. That was my first kiss.”

“Shit,” Kakyoin said dumbly.

“Yeah.”

There was a long pause before either of them spoke up again. “If you could have done it over,” Kakyoin asked at last, “How would you have liked to meet me?”

“If I was less of an idiot?” Jotaro asked. “I would have told those guys to piss off and then walked up to you. I could have introduced myself like a normal human being and asked if you wanted to do something together sometime. After the fair or maybe over a weekend. I should have done more to earn the kiss.”

Kakyoin opened the stall and looked down at Jotaro. “Do it then.”

Jotaro got to his feet, a little startled to no longer be talking through closed doors. Almost on instinct he wanted to shut down and push away. This was honestly more than he’d bargained for and he didn’t exactly make a habit of opening up to people. But Kakyoin was giving him a chance to make things right and he’d be a fool to squander it.

Meanwhile, Kakyoin was almost starting to regret his own boldness. He’d forgotten how Jotaro towered over him. Not even necessarily through height alone. But something about his very presence just seemed to take up space. Cutting quite the imposing figure, even in the largely unflattering setting of a highschool boy’s bathroom.

“Hey,” Jotaro said gruffly, his hands shoved deep into his pockets and a piercing stare directed at Kakyoin. The kind that seemed to pierce his very soul. “Kakyoin, right? I’m Jotaro, nice to meet you. I think we have some classes together.”

Kakyoin tried his best not to gawk at how ridiculous the situation was. And at how intimidating Jotaro was, even whilst acting more or less friendly. This was his own idea after all. “Yeah, that’s me. Nice to meet you too.”

“Didn’t mean to bother you,” Jotaro said casually. As if they were actually meeting for the first time. “But I gotta ask. How do you put up with all those girls around you all the time? Doesn’t it annoy you to have them fawning over you?”

Now that caught Kakyoin off guard and he let out an awkward laugh. “Oh, no. They don’t flirt with me. They just happen to be nicer to me than the guys are.”

Jotaro raised an eyebrow, “Handsome dude like you? I find it hard to believe you have no one chasing after you. Better you than me anyway, I really don’t get why they bother.”

Kakyoin could feel himself blushing and squared himself up to match Jotaro’s energy in an attempt to regain some footing. “Weird way to brag about how popular you are,” he joked.

“More like a roundabout way to say I’m not interested in their attention.” He stared pointedly at Kakyoin. “If you catch my drift.”

“Oh,” Kakyoin could feel himself shaking again but once again, Jotaro looked almost just as nervous as he was. “Yeah, I guess I do. And I’m inclined to agree. It would be nice to have a little more… attention? From guys. I guess.”

“Guys like me?” Jotaro said tentatively.

“Perhaps,” Kakyoin shrugged. He brushed his bangs out of his face and took a shaky breath. “Do you want to test that?”

Jotaro took a step closer and leaned down until they were face to face. Mere inches apart. “May I? No one’s watching this time. I promise.”

Kakyoin closed his eyes and nodded.

---

“Hi Maria.”

“Oh there you are!” Maria exclaimed with a sigh of relief as she rushed over to Kakyoin and threw her arms around him in a hug. “Are you okay? I was starting to get so worried. What happened in there?”

Kakyoin chuckled and returned the hug, “Yes, I’m fine now. Thank you for worrying about me. And, not much happened really.” He glanced towards Jotaro, less subtly than he probably thought and shrugged. “Jotaro apologized and explained the situation. I decided to forgive him. We’re all still young and careless, aren’t we? It didn’t seem worth it to hold a grudge.”

Maria looked between the two of them. “So what? Are you two friends now?”

“You could say that.” Jotaro shrugged.

“Right,” Maria said slowly. Before throwing her hands up, “Well. I’m just glad it all worked out. I’m going to go wait by the car. Do what you gotta do and then let’s finally head home, okay? It’s pretty late.” She pulled out her car keys and pointed at Jotaro, “Do you need a ride?”

He shook his head, “I’ll be fine. Thanks.”

They waited until Maria had left well out of earshot before turning to each other. One last goodbye for the night. “So what do you want to do now?” Kakyoin asked, “About us, I mean. What happens next?”

“A date might be nice?” Jotaro suggested tentatively. “But, you know, you don’t have to call it that if you don’t want to. And I get it if you want to keep things on the down low. But if you’re ever feeling brave. “ He flashed a slight smirk, “I’m pretty sure most people would think twice before messing with me. And if they don’t then I’ll make sure they do next time.”

Kakyoin chuckled and patted Jotaro on the arm. “I’ll think about it. But a date does sound nice. Come find me after school tomorrow and we’ll settle on something.”

144 options narrowed down to one final poll!!! Whoever wins I will write a oneshot about (when writer’s block finally gets off my back 🫠). Remember, best companion does not necessarily mean that they have to get along with the Doctor the best. Challenging each other in interesting ways or causing each other to change is also a perfectly valid dynamic. Explain in the tags who you voted for, with which incarnation, any why!

Since I like both anime art and storytelling, I'm planning to make light novels. Some of them may be short stories, standalone novels, or series. :3 Going to put some of them on Wattpad and Tapas.

I try to balance unique settings with complex characters.

🌊About Me🌊

I've been writing and drawing since I was little. And before I could write, I would tell my mother my story and she'd write it down for me. I've always had a crazy imagination. When I was a tween, I got into anime and manga, so I learned how to draw in that art style.

I am 25, queer-romantic asexual, and feminine-presenting nonbinary. I identify as both a girl and a demi-boy. You can refer to me as she/her, he/him, or they/them. I don't mind. I'm also white and have ADHD, dyspraxia, anxiety, and depression that prevents me from getting a "real" job.

I'm pretty shy and anxious, but once you get to know me, I may say some weird stuff and dad jokes. I'm a big nerd and simp as well.

I am also a Vtuber, but made this alt identity since I didn't think my work would fit that persona.

🌊About My Blog🌊

Here I am going to post about my WIP stories and some of my art. I will also reblog others' art and writing. Many aesthetics, fandoms, and other stuff may be reblogged as well with tags if it inspires my work.

Here I hope to find more creators to connect with and find some epic creations. Feel free to message me if you'd like, though I am kinda shy. :3

I am okay with:

✨Asks

✨Tag games

✨DMs. I'm happy to make friends. :3

Ultra Drive - Intro Post | Directory Post

Links: Wattpad | Tapas (coming soon)

✨Genre(s): sci-fi, cyberpunk, action, drama, psychological, dystopian

✨CWs: government stuff, pandemic mention, gore probably at some point

When AlexiKa was a child, her world was changed forever when her family was forced to immigrate to the imperial city of Venicula after the Ebony Plague - caused by mysterious eumalyptus spores - infected her home town. Now a young adult, she works as a courier (and secretly an anti-corporation activist). When going on a delivery, she accidentally uncovers dark secrets and ends up infected with the same Ebony Plague that haunted her hometown as a child. But when she survives the illness and instead develops superhuman abilities, she joins a mutant resistance group to fight against the Veniculan Empire, the Gaia Corporation, and other mutants with immoral goals.

Adventures in Alsteria - Intro Post (coming soon!)

Links: N/A

✨Genre(s): fantasy, comedy, slice of life, action, adventure, LGBTQIA+

✨CWs: None ATM? Violence probably?

A trans femboy wood elf named Nel finds the homeland of his people - the rain forests of Falinor - and goes on an adventure to form a guild of adventurers! Still kind of in the vibes stage I guess, but I have some ideas formed for lore and characters. :> Something more cute and lighthearted for me to write in contrast to Ultra Drive.

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't have much that I can share at the moment due to much of my writing being lost (school assignments or lost on old computers) or attached to other identities. I also had a looong writer's/art block.
