Donbrothers doggy daycare AU

Hi I work at a doggy daycare and I got really bored the other day so. Here’s my very silly AU where all of them work at Donbura Doggy Daycare :)

The daycare is owned by Kaito but no one knows anything abt him (just like canon lmao)

He owns a black and white border collie named “Kaiser”

Haruka has been working at the daycare the longest (after Tarou who’s been there abt as long as Kaito has been running it)

Is always tired of Kaitos mysterious bullshit

Has a pitbull mix rescue dog named “Oni” who is like a little too insane but still comes to daycare because everyone loves him

Kijino is the oldest staff member (though they’re not sure how old Kaito is)

He’s always getting injured somehow

Will not shut up abt his wife who is a veterinarian

He has a very poorly trained and ill-behaved Shih Tzu named “Birdie” that he’s very protective over because his wife adopted her for him as a bday present

He also has his wife’s dog, a highly trained German shorthair hunting dog named “Crane”

Inuzaka always forgets to wash his scrubs and ends up wearing band tees most of the time instead of his uniform

Pretty much everyone knows he’s a criminal but they don’t care bc he’s rlly chill

He lives in a van with his gf (by choice bc he’s a van life weirdo)

He doesn’t talk all that much and tries to act edgy but he’s actually always listening to showtunes w his AirPods on

He has a Shiba Inu creatively named “inu” as well as his gfs dog, a white Pomeranian named “Lovely”

Saruhara is always wearing bucket hats :)

He gets yelled at a lot for talking instead of paying attention to do the dogs

He struggles to discipline the dogs and talks to them like they’re people lmao

He has a black Newfoundland named “gorilla” who is absolutely ginormous but thinks he’s a lapdog

No one is sure how bc they all get paid the same shitty wage but he’s consistently broke

He gives the rest of them life advice frequently :)

Jiro always wears colorful scrubs with a bunch of patterns on them and he cuts the sleeves off of them despite managements protests

Ripped as hell just like canon

He annoys his coworkers bc he’s a little TOO cheerful all the time at a job that is incredibly exhausting

He’s very passionate abt teamwork and team building

Has DID like in canon, host jiro likes to wear a hoodie and is usually postivelt triggered when he gets to interact with cats that may be boarding

He has two dogs named “tiger” and “dragon” who are both German shepherds

There will be more bc obviously I haven’t drawn mr wahaha himself, let alone the dogs or the nouto, but :) enjoy!

Author Notes; This is the first ending for the series, featuring gifs of the various dances the characters perform. Kiba, Keath and Freya are characters I came up with for @notmaplemable and I’s “Arc-Noire” series, and I introduce them in Chapter 2, which I’m finishing up and will probably post later today once I finish the GingaiOh mecha battle, so look forward to it!

Here’s the link to the amazing cover I found on YouTube in case you’re interested in hearing it;

@allpurposepanda sent me this ask game and since I have writing to procrastinate, I figured I'd just go through and answer all the questions I felt like answering

1. What’s something new that you tried in a fic this year? How did it turn out and would you do it again?

I think the most interesting thing I did was write a fic where I tried not to use any figurative language at all in the narration or dialogue from other pov characters. It wasn't as hard as I was expecting (actually, it was harder to determine what counted as figurative and what counted as a word simply having multiple meanings, one more concrete than the other) and I think it turned out pretty okay. I'd do it again if I wrote from this pov again or someone similar, but I don't think I'd seek it out

2. How many fics did you work on this year? (They don’t have to be finished or published!)

About 18 if I counted correctly! 7 have been posted, 1 is in the process of posting, and 10 are unposted. 9 are brand new while 9 are continuations of wips from previous years

3. What’s something you learned about yourself as a writer?

I'm not sure. I guess I've been thinking about the relation between a writer and the audience and feedback and community support a lot (I went from a bigger fandom to a smaller fandom, and the decrease in comments and people to talk to about my fics hit my motivation harder than I was expecting)

4. What piece of media inspired you the most?

I'm not sure, but I think I wrote the most fic for Donbrothers or Kamen Rider

5. What fandom(s) did you write for this year?

8 fandoms: Kamen Rider Blade (6), Kamen Rider W (1), Kamen Rider Drive (1), Changerion (1), Donbrothers (3), Ace Attorney (4), the Watchmaker of Filigree Street (2), and Les Miserables (1)

6. What ship(s) captured your heart?

Nothing new from last year, but Hajime/Kenzaki from Blade and Sonoi/Momoi from Donbrothers

7. What character(s) captured your heart?

Also nothing new, but Haruka from Donbrothers and Wakana from Kamen Rider W

8. Did you write for a new fandom or ship this year?

Donbrothers is new because I was waiting for the show to finish airing before I started writing anything for it. Changerion I only watched this year, so that's also new

9. What fic meant the most to you to write?

I am obsessed with my Blade soul nemesis au and my Ace Attorney Trickster au, and I don't have any fics that like particularly hit close to home for me or anything. However, I do think the winner would have to be Truer than Truth because idk. It was difficult and it feels like one of the best things I've written (definitely the best shorter fic I've written) and just had a lot of thought go into it

10. What fic made you feel the happiest to work on?

Definitely my soul nemesis au. Tbh I have enjoyed working on it so much I started posting it probably like a good 6 months later than I could have so I could work on it more, and it's also taking me forever to upload the chapters despite the fic being finished because I want to keep working on it (that and it has 0 comments, so I feel like no one is too invested other than the people I know personally, so I can take my time with it and get distracted from it)

11. What fic was the most satisfying to finish writing?

To Turn the World Upside Down is maybe the best long fic I've written, and finishing it felt like the end of the journey. However, I'm pretty sure I wrote the ending in 2022 (I just finished the editing in 2023), so I'll also put in Truer than Truth for the reasons answered in the next question

12. What fic was the most difficult to write? Did you finish it?

Definitely Truer than Truth. I mentioned I wrote a fic without figurative language, and this was the first fic in the series where I tried to write a fic with a ton of figurative language. Coming up with symbolism related to classic Japanese Buddhist literature that isn't too heavy handed is hard! Coming up prose with metaphors and pretty descriptions that doesn't sound unbearably flowery is hard! Also mapping out the character of progression of Sonoi, someone who both knows a lot about humans and also doesn't, in a way that makes sense and doesn't make him more ignorant than he is in canon is hard!

13. What fic was the easiest to write?

Trust Fall. I wrote probably about half of it in one day and finished writing+editing it in probably around 2 weeks which is insanely fast for me. It just sort of came out of me, idk man

14. What were your shortest and longest fics this year?

Technically Meetings is the longest fic (90k words), but that was originally meant to be a trilogy that I wrote most of years ago and just polished and posted this year, so I'm counting To Turn the World Upside Down (73k words) instead because it's finished and I like it more.

Shortest is Trust Fall (4k words)

15. Rec a fic you wrote or posted in 2023

This is hard because I do like a lot of the fics I wrote and posted in 2023. However, I've talked a lot (and will continue to talk) about my top 3 fics in this ask game, but one fic that will not be mentioned outside of this that I think is good is Across the River of Stars.

It's an outsider pov Cowherd and Weaver au where I think I did a good job with a sort of melancholic atmosphere

16. What were you go-to writing songs?

I don't listen to music a lot while writing, but when I do it's probably the How To Train Your Dragon soundtrack (movies 1-3), the Witcher 3 soundtrack, or the Black Sails soundtrack

17. What were your go-to writing snacks?

I don't think I have one. I don't particularly snack while writing, and if I do, I'll just eat whatever

18. What was the hardest fic to title?

Afterwards. I needed something short and simple and to the point to contrast the long and more poetic "truer than truth are those beautiful lies", but I still think it's a bit meh and doesn't really do much for the fic

19. Share your favorite opening line

Here is a truth: Momoi Tarou is like the sky, impossibly vast and unreachable; and Sonoi is like the sea, forever gazing up, reflecting that same blue.

This wasn't initially the beginning line (I switched around a lot of stuffin this fic), and the whole "here is a truth, here is a lie" bit was a totally unexpected unplanned bit that just happened when I started writing it. However, I'm pleased with how it turned out, and also the particular way in which I took a line from the show (Sonoi saying "we are like the sky and the sea") and expanding a bit on it and how the two of them individually relate to that

20. Share your favorite ending line

Okay technically it's 2 lines from Trust Fall, but it's still my favorite:

(All too soon, when the end does come, Kenzaki looks at Hajime and smiles like a blade to the heart and says, “See, I said that you could trust me to keep this hope of yours alive.” And Hajime does not have the time to tell him that no one has ever lied to him so cruelly before.)

It's good because of the misunderstanding. Kenzaki is sacrificing himself so Hajime can keep living, but of course that also really sucks on Hajime's end. I just think seeing something from the pov of the person/people left behind when someone sacrifices themselves is so juicy. Also Kenzaki's symbol is a blade while Hajime's is a heart, so the smile is from Blade to Heart but also metaphorically like being stabbed hahaha (i think i'm so clever when i do symbolism 101)

21. Share your favorite piece of dialogue

This is hard. Definitely, my favorite piece of dialogue comes from To Turn the World Upside Down because tbh I think that fic has some of the best written dialogue in anything I've ever written, but I'm not sure I could pick out something among it. I just went with the last scene because I am genuinely proud, like I don't normally like writing endings and it's especially hard in a long fic with a lot of build up, but I think I did well on this one. Also it's probably one of the parts I worked most on in 2023 (rather than 2022)

“I think you should do it, daddy,” Trucy says. Surprised, Phoenix looks up to see his daughter staring at him, her face set firmly. Of all the people who would encourage him to retake the exam, he hadn’t thought it would be her. She has never known him as a lawyer. “What? Why?” “You never stopped being a lawyer,” she says, as if it’s that simple. “Sure, officially, they took that away from you. But deep down, you’ve always been one.” “What?” Phoenix scoffs, something small and hopeful curling into a cold and defensive ball deep in his chest. “Prove it.” Trucy raises her eyebrows at him. “Prove it? Do I need physical evidence for it so that it may be accepted in the court of Phoenix Wright, or is pointing out your contradiction enough?” Phoenix flushes. “Okay, okay, point taken.” “She’s right,” Miles says quietly. “It’s your life to live, but please—at least consider it.” From the moment you asked, there was no question of the answer, Phoenix thinks. I became a lawyer for you once, I would do it a second time, as many times as you needed me to. “Are you sure about it?” Phoenix asks. “I mean, you know what it was like the first time I was a lawyer. You know the kind of shit that follows me. I was a lawyer for just two and a half years the first time, and look at the kind of mess I left behind me.” Miles smiles at him, so fond it hurts. “You say that as if that’s not exactly what I want. I want you back in the courthouse, Trickster and all. It all needs a good shaking up, don’t you think?” It was never meant to be about the suffering, the Trickster had said about their chaos. There already is suffering stuck in between each clean-cut brick of the legal system, trapped in the very foundation and everything that has grown on top of it. Maybe it’s time to knock things around and see what shakes loose, to see what can be built anew from the rubble. “Alright,” Phoenix says, and the way Miles and Trucy’s eyes light up already makes it all worth it. “I’ll do it. Let’s go turn turn the legal world upside down.”

22. Share an excerpt from your favorite scene

Tbh I could probably also post a bit from the Trickster au, but just to switch it up here's a sneak peak from my soul nemesis au. I was so excited to write this scene that it's the only one I skipped ahead to write. This scene (earlier parts of it, not what's here) is also the reason why I chose the mechanics for soul nemeses that I did, like I've been hyping up this scene almost since I first had the idea for the fic, and it's still one of my favorites

“Did...” Gou started. “Did he love you too?” Kenzaki thought about the way Hajime kissed back, the way his whole face softened as he smiled at Kenzaki, the way he looked like his heart was shattering when Kenzaki had last seen him, the way he had written don't go in his letter. “I think—maybe. But it doesn’t matter. I had to leave, so he could live out his life.” For the whole time that Kenzaki had known him, Gou had been all bright smiles and wild hand gestures. Even as the conversation took a turn for the more serious, his face had been an open book, but now his face turned still and unreadable. “It’s not worth it.” “What?” demanded Kenzaki. “I’ve been there,” Gou said, and now he looked angry. “Someone sacrificed himself for me, so I could live my life. And I will never forgive him for that, because if I had the choice, I would choose him over me every time. I may not have met Masaki myself, but I'm sure that he would rather have you in his life no matter what hardships. You can still go back—” “You don’t know what you’re talking about,” Kenzaki snapped, anger curling defensively around him. He knew that. He knew he was hurting Hajime, that it had destroyed him to be left behind. It had destroyed Kenzaki to leave. But he had chosen to defy fate, and this was their punishment. “It’s impossible.” "What's impossible? You're both still alive, aren't you?" "He might as well be dead, for all the difference it makes to me,” Kenzaki snapped. Maybe if Hajime had been dead it would hurt less. “There is no other choice.” Gou stared back at him, his expression set stubbornly on his face. He was so young, Kenzaki thought all of a sudden. Kenzaki had been like that too over a decade ago when he was around Gou’s age, so stubbornly set on how things should be, as if he could bend the universe into shape through sheer force of will. Kenzaki sighed, and let the anger drain from him. He would have had those same thoughts, and it wasn’t like Gou had any idea of the impossible circumstances that kept him and Hajime apart. “It's too late now. I would go back, if I could. And he would track me down across the world, if he could." “Right,” Gou said, and Kenzaki wondered if he felt the same envy towards him. Gou hadn’t specified what sacrifice had been made for him, but the implication was clear. At least Hajime was still alive. At least he was out there somewhere that Kenzaki could return to, technically. Gou couldn't know that the potential only made the separation ache more, he couldn't know that the impossible situation that trapped them went far beyond ordinary human concerns. “I’m sorry for your loss,” Kenzaki said, as much of an acquiescence as he could make. “Thanks,” Gou said, his mouth twisting. “I... don’t know if he’s gone for good though. That’s actually why I’m here. Trying to do some research to bring him back.” “Are there good medical facilities here?” Kenzaki asked, confused. Maybe Gou's person was in a coma or something? Gou shrugged. “Not particularly. I’m here more for the tech stuff.” “I hope it succeeds,” Kenzaki said, not entirely sure what to say. “Thank you,” Gou said, sounding tired. “And I hope you find someway around whatever’s keeping you two apart.” It was impossible, but Kenzaki smiled and nodded anyway. “If I ever run into him, do you want me to pass on a message?” Gou asked. What could Kenzaki say that Hajime did not already know, and that would not hurt him more to hear? “Just that I am well,” Kenzaki said at last. “And that I like his book. And... I still miss him.” Gou nodded. “I’m going to get my friend back,” he said, with all the confidence and naivety of a twenty year old. “So you better not give up on yours, alright?” “I never will,” Kenzaki said. And Gou smiled because he did not yet know that it was the hope that destroyed you.

23. Share the final version of a sentence or paragraph you struggled with. What about it was challenging? Are you happy with how it turned out?

There are definitely many of these, but I'd have to go through my fics again to figure it out and that would take a while so I'm skipping this

24. What's something that surprised you while you were working on a fic? Did it change the story?

I mentioned earlier that there's a bit in Truer than Truth where between each scene it goes like "Here is a truth: [...] Here is a lie: [...]", or in the other order (lie first then truth) that is vaguely related to the themes of that scene, and I absolutely was not expecting.

It ended up changing the story quite a bit. I was originally going to have the story alternate povs, but something like this could only work from Sonoi's pov, and I wasn't sure how to juggle things around to make it work. Because I also wanted to have it alternate between whether it starts with a truth or a lie, I had to add two scenes in order to make the pattern work when I realized that some of the truths and lies would work better flipped around. And I think the story is better off with those added scenes to fill in something that would have been a jump otherwise

Also, it just generally affected the tone, since I had to think about the themes of the scene to write those bits, and they're very heavy in symbolism and metaphor that I could reuse throughout the fic

25. What did you use to write? (e.g. writing programs, paper & pen, etc.)

Mostly google docs and occasionally a notebook and pen. I have occasionally written a bit on my notes app of my phone if i couldn't get to google docs for whatever reason, but i don't think i did this year

26. If you had to choose one, what was THE most satisfying writing moment of your year?

The writing spree during which I wrote the first half of Trust Fall. I was feeling a bit shitty and purposeless at the time, but I had an idea brewing in the back of my head for awhile, and the stars aligned so the idea solidified and I wrote like 2k words in one day. I remember feeling afterwards that I really love writing sometimes and maybe if I go too long without doing it, it makes me worse

27. Did you do anything special to celebrate finishing a fic?

Not really? Maybe tell all my friends about it

28. How did you recharge between fics?

I don't think this question applies to my writing style tbh. I don't have "in between fics" (i am always working on a fic) and I switch between them a lot, so I don't really get worn out by them. I recharge between writing sessions I suppose?? I'm not actually sure how I'm supposed to answer this question

29. If this were an awards show, who would you thank?

I do try to thank the people involved in me writing a fic in any way at the beginning of each fic, but in a general sense, I would thank all the friends and acquaintances who encouraged me to write whenever I was like "maybe this is stupid" and all the people who listened to me go "wait I have the coolest idea for a fic, let me tell you about it" and all the people who helped answer my questions from everything between 'does this sound like semi-realistic attraction or is it just weird' to 'what are traffic-related superhero/supervillain names.' And particularly to @magpiedragon who bears the brunt of all of this

30. What’s something that you want to write in 2024?

I still have that one Kamen Rider Blade post canon idea that crosses over with Star Trek ds9. Also some Kamen Rider Agito ideas I want to get to at some point, but who knows if I ever will

[regaliasonata]

So instead of making two separate posts I decided just to put these together since both AUs I'm making utilize this

Basically the enemies I'm planning for the Dustin/Hunter Ninja Storm AU and the Ninja Steel Rewrite AU is yokai. Since I'm paying homage to the ninja sentai seasons while crafting lore I decided to go with this idea.

Yokai like in real life are supernatural beings revolving around many themes and folklore. Here they can sprout from the negativity or strong emotions of the world, various ways for them to be born, heck maybe even instances of a human turning into one after death.

One things for sure is that no matter the origin they come into existence mainly from the Abyss of Evil which in the show was a prison for Lothor but here I'm elaborating more on said dimension. Some rifts from the abyss can open up in the mortal world allowing for yokai if strong enough to walk amongst the earth reading havoc or even latching onto a person as a vessel(similar to the Hitotsuki of Donbrothers).

Rifts can be rare but they have the possibility to open up all over the universe, some may influence different locations who knows🤷🏾‍♂️

Like the rangers and people in those universes yokai can utilize the power of qi(called karma in the Ninja Steel au) with the elements and their abilities.

There's also the Hanyo but I'll explain that later on, same with Galvanax, the abyss and other stuff like references to Kakuranger, Hurricaneger and Ninninger. But yeah I have lot's planned.

AU meme: MDZS is now a toku and the twin jades are the starting henshin heroes.

Send me a potential AU and I’ll tell you five fun facts that would happen in a story.

TOKU AU HECK YEAH!

I admit I was sitting on this one for a while because I was trying very hard not to turn this into a Ryuki AU.

I failed.

So now it's Ryuki based with Toshiki Inoue brand identity shenanigans because I loved them in Agito, Faiz and Donbrothers :D

Ryuki is the Battle Royale one where the Riders are duking it out in order to have their wish granted. I'm going to combine this a bit with Fate/Zero where the end goal is an ultimate power, but this ultimate power is actually EVIL!

(It's the Yin Iron) (pretty sure it was also EVIL in Ryuki but I have not watched all of Ryuki)

LWJ was not supposed to be a Henshin Hero but while investigating a haunting one day because he does that, he spotted his brother and shenanigans ensued resulting in the LXC's transformation belt getting split in two and LWJ is a Hero now! ....but he and LXC are only at half the power they should be individually.

Which for ✨Reasons✨ is still pretty much on par with all of the other riders.

WWX is the favorite to win this Battle Royale. In his hero form, he is the villain to defeat and every time he and LWJ run into each other, it's a death match. In civilian form, he and LWJ actually get along great, neither one knowing the other's identity but both having strong ideals of justice. Their identities get revealed to each other about 2/3rds through and there is much angst.

(WWX also forms the classic 2 guys & a girl Rider trio with WN & WQ)

LWJ owns a motorbike and there will be romantic sunset motorbike rides. And friendship sunset motorbike rides. And angsty sunset motorbike rides.

(The bike's name is Bichen)

NHS is not a powerful hero like his brother was, but he has his guile and is determined to get the ultimate power so he could resurrect his brother. (Sorry Da-ge is dead in this verse. For ✨Reasons✨). He's friends with WWX in their civilian lives. Naturally they don't know each others identities, but he and LWJ do learn each other's identities pretty early on, and help each other out. NHS is very definitely not plotting something!

JGY is also a part of this. He and LXC know each other's identities so he figures out LWJ's identity pretty quickly. He decides not to let on that he knows, but much like LXC & LWJ he is more invested in using his powers for good than fighting other heroes. Honest!

This is as far as I got haha (JC is here somewhere too.... possibly also partaking in the identity hijinks with WWX & LWJ). Also Bonus because you mentioned this in our chat and I loved it:

WWX makes his debut in the story when JZX throws his sister's love letter off a bridge and he jumps down to get it while yelling at JZX. (LWJ witnesses this and thinks WWX is an idiot. But a respectable one!)

hmm would it be fun if the Yin Iron shards are what actually allow everyone to become Toku Heroes...

[kabutoraiger]

do you actually know of any good kaguracles writing because I have found only one (1) and it is about racles capturing gira and forcing him to watch him fuck kaguragi 🤨🤨🤨 my donbrother in christ he would not say do that

lmao i think i tried to read that one too and just. could not make it all the way through. (no offense to the author if you're seeing this. different strokes for different folks and all that)

i have such annoyingly specific standards for fanfiction that i read very little of it but i do have to give mad respect to this person who's been writing a now novel length AU with them as the only romantic ship listed

https://archiveofourown.org/works/46379143/chapters/116772040

without actually reading it myself i'm not sure how prominent their relationship actually is but. might be worth checking out.

[skajador]

Birds of A Feather Fight Together

this would definitely be Ankh teaming up with some other bird guy. Kijino from Donbrothers? god can you even imagine them interacting?

Sieg? god. I know other shows have bird guys

SECCHAN. ankh and SECCHAN HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER.

... or maybe some kind of Pokemon AU where Ankh trains Flying types

[cic-pr-au-incorrect-quotes]

So anyways who here wants to hear abt my donbrothers doggy daycare AU I came up with while being extremely bored at my doggy daycare job

[dangerouscommiesubversive]

I would like a superlative for Gizmo Guys, please! (Yes,I know you were only briefly in Lazytown. But the Roleswap AU periodically pops into my brain to say hello, so.) (Also if this sent multiple times I apologize)

Awww, that makes me happy to hear, I'm glad that it stuck with you. 💜💜💜 Anyway, "Gizmo Guys" is the story I would be most comfortable with my actual son reading, at least at this point in time. Not that I want him to read any of my fanfiction at all, ideally, but he's six right now, and "Gizmo Guys" in many ways takes the same form as the stories I make up for him at bedtime, since at its base it's just a story about a little boy becoming friends with someone. The only real difference is that in "Gizmo Guys" the little boy is also from that show, whereas Gremlin is usually the star of his own bedtime stories, delighted to be hanging out with Dipper and Mabel or Sonic the Hedgehog or the Donbrothers or whoever it is that he's thinking about that evening. It's a very short story, it's sweet, and I think he'd enjoy it.

Also I love the rhythm of the opening line:

Perry Packet and his husband had a son named Pixel, because they were the kind of men who would give that sort of name to a child.

"Since Don Murasame from Donbrothers apparently has the same VA as Joker from Kaitou Joker (Ayumu Murase), even though I haven't watched Donbrothers yet I really wanna make an AU where they're the same person, so I'm gonna take a glance at the wiki to see if it works-"

*sees that Murasame is just a straight up sword and a bunch of other shit which cannot be feasibly transferred into Joker's character*

"… I can still work with this"

Thank you for the tag my beloved! @evil-moonlight

favorite color: green (mainly dark/emerald/forest green)

last song:

Are we surprised? No we are not

last series: Hmm...last series that I watched I think was the first season of Gifted (jdrama). I really like it, I think it's really interesting and I'm waiting for the second season to finish airing/subbing before I watch it

last movie: Elemental. I really enjoyed that movie, I thought it was cute and I do love a good "enemies to lovers"/"forbidden love" kind of thing. When I first heard about it, I thought it was stupid but then I actually watched it and I'm like "Oh...oh it's not stupid at all".

sweet/savory/spicy: savory, sweet, then spicy. I can't really handle a whole lot of spicy things...I like them, but just not a lot. I like to be able to taste my food, not just taste fire

currently watching: Killer and Healer, to no surprise of anyone. Also the Apothecary Diaries and Spy x Family Season 2. I love the Apothecary Diaries, oh my fucking god (I loved it so much I turned it into a Killer and Healer au. Also to no surprise of anyone). Also Evilive. I need to get back to watching it, I'm behind in my liveblogs

other stuff i watched this year: Oh this list might be long uh...My Journey to You (I am still shocked at how much I loved this drama, my god. It's so good), Stand By Me (a bromance republican era drama that doesn't end with one or both dead but actually with a happy ending?! Hello?! Killer and Healer could have had this you fucks), Love is Written in the Stars (I really only watched this for Ian Yi and Patrick Quan and I loved their characters. The story itself wasn't bad but uh...too much misunderstanding/miscommunication for my taste. Like holy shit, fucking talk to each other damn it), Pledge of Allegiance (we do love a good bromance but my god was this shit dark at times), Desire Catcher (also surprised at how much I liked this one but I think because it was an amalgamation of like...a lot of my favorite crime dramas), Order of the Sommelier (I loved this drama....so much), As Long as We Both Shall Live (the live-action movie of My Happy Marriage and I loved that movie. It's like Cinderella but with supernatural gifts. Sign me the fuck up), Bokura no Shokutaku (one of my favorite mangas got a live-action adaptation and it's just so sweet/heartfelt and I just love it), Avataro Sentai Donbrothers (my first tokusatsu that I watched because of @scoups4lyfe and I surprisingly liked it more than I thought I would, just because I was never a power rangers kid growing up) and finally The Uncanny Counter 2: Counter Punch (my god I missed these dorks and this season did not disappoint).

shows i dropped this year/didn't finish: I don't think there's been any show so far that I haven't finished/dropped...that I know of. I'm really picky about my shows so I won't just start something unless I know I'm going to enjoy it

currently working on: So I've got five active WIPs right now, my Killer and Healer rewrite, my Apothecary Diaries au, Wild Roses and Pretenders (lord x doctor, Killer and Healer), CSI: Jing City (csi au), and Oil and Water (my first CSI: Miami fic). Also working on getting a job (but I've had two successful interviews so now we're just waiting to see who calls me back)

currently listening to:

I blasted this song on the way to both of my interviews and it really pumped me up (and it's just really fucking catchy, Riot does really fucking good songs)

currently reading: Uh, the Apothecary Diaries manga and all of my own fics (because I don't really read other people's fics on ao3, mainly because I've written so much and everything I want is in my fics so...)

current obsession: The Apothecary Diaries and Killer and Healer. These two go hand in hand and I'm so glad I decided to check out the anime because I am obsessed
