#i should be able to finish them in a week

[the---hermit]

01|03|2025

I reached my goal of finishing all the written materials for my spaces of knowledge class. I am not sure that by the end of next week I'll be able to finish all recorded lectures as well, but hopefully I'll get most of them done. Working on those should feel a bit lighter, as I think they will end up adding a few informations here and there, without focusing on completly different things from the other materials.

18/50 days of productivity:

signed up for my exam at the end of the month

practiced Irish on duolingo

finished working onthe last article for my spaces of knowledge exam

took a bit of time to reflect on my productivity for this first month of the new semester and outlined my goals for March

Stats Sunday

Happy March!! Thanks for the tag @nausikaaa! Unfortunately, my goal is to make this banner worse every month, so be prepared—we've only just begun.

Early post for me. I should be sleeping but I started making my graphs and then... well, here we are.

Here's my February Recap loll. Stats and graphs and musings incoming. (this post is so long but i promise there's a snippet in here)

Rest of post is under the cut. It is long. You've been warned.

I've posted two things last month! A valentine's day fic for Ebb/Fiona and Chapter 3 of the Way We Are. (Technically i posted 3 but this stranger things oneshot was posted on the 1st and written in January so it feels like January's accomplishment)

Total words written for February: 14405 (this beats Jan by 460 words!)

Days I met my writing goal (200 words): 20

Days I didn't write or edit anything: 4

Day I wrote the most: Feb 11th with 2249 (this beats last month's high score of 1717!)

Number of Fics worked on: 10 technically, but i have not been consistent with most of them. mainly worked on 3.

Daily Average: 514 words (but like last month i am highly inconsistent and my WC varies wildy depending on the day)

(I really like the little curve in the middle. also two the days that look like zero are actually 1 words, which is my placeholder if i spend all day editing)

And here's a pie chart to show my WC distribution across projects. Tbh a lot of these were fics that i've had in my fic ideas doc and all i did was make a google doc for them and word barf onto it my ideas, that's why there's so many small slices.

some slices are so small you don't even get to know my placeholder names. also i hope the title THTHIPWGI intrigues you, i'm always excited when i can title a fic right away and refer to it by a fun accyromn on my spreadsheet.

Other notable things from February:

I finished writing all of The Way We Are!! (kind of. i have one more scene to write. Monica's fault.)

I took over the @carry-on-sapphic-week event!! Check out the prompts if you haven't yet <3

I've received So Many beautiful valentines from the CO discord servers exchange. my mailbox and my heart has been full

The CO fandom was able to raise $500 for Fandom Trumps Hate!! (and I got to make a spreadsheet bc of this!!!) (also i won two auctions from this, one for each fandom i'm in)

My car battery died and I had to get a new one :/

I started a new journal!

I finally figured out how to spell February

my savage worlds campaign finally got our ship back and made it off this stupid planet that we've been on forever.

i've started watching Yellowjackets and I'm really enjoying it

I read so many CO AU fest fics and each one of them was so good. I think i've read all except one so far, and honestly this fest has been so fun i'm obsessed with you guys, you're are so talented.

SPEAKING of CO AU fest fics, @fiend-for-culture's fic, Everything In Between, is SO good, i've been thinking about it all week. you should read it (and leave a comment so i can read it bc i'm stalking the comments on this fic and there's not enough to sate me)

i have spring break in just one week!!

Okay, i promised you words, so here's a snip from my COBB.

“And I’m sorry,” Simon says. “For what?” “Driving you off yesterday.” “That wasn’t your fault. I was being terrible.” “Yeah,” Simon agrees. “But I shouldn’t have dismissed you like that.” I make a face. “I’m not having a heart-to-heart with you, Snow.” Simon groans. “Why do you have to do that?" "What" "Everytime I think we're making progress you say something nasty like that."

sorry this post is so long, thank you for reading if you made it this far

A PRESIDENTS WEAKNESS

shadow the hedgehog x fem ! y/n.

Shadow had always been the composed and intimidating student council president. He was known for his intelligence, his discipline, and the way he could shut down any argument with a single glance. But there was one thing—one tiny, seemingly insignificant thing—that could easily break him in mere seconds.

And unfortunately for him, his girlfriend Y/N knew exactly what it was.

It all started when Y/N missed an entire week of school. It wasn’t intentional—she had fallen sick and had barely been able to lift her head off the pillow. When she finally returned, she was met with a cruel reality: a mountain of assignments from every single one of her teachers. Pages upon pages of math problems, essays, and worksheets were dumped on her desk.

And now, here she was, sitting in the student council office, groaning loudly as she slumped in a chair. Papers were scattered across the desk in front of her, her pencil rolling off the edge as she buried her face into her arms.

Shadow sat across from her, his usual sharp gaze scanning a report for the council. He didn’t react to her dramatics at first—he was used to them by now. But when she let out an exaggerated, miserable sigh for the third time in a row, he finally looked up.

“Y/N,” he started, his tone calm but firm. “If you have the energy to complain, then you should have the energy to finish your work.”

She groaned again. “Shadow, please." Y/n pouted. "This isn’t just any work! this is torture! ” She picked up the thick packet of math problems and held it up as evidence.

“Do you see this? Do you see what they expect me to do? I barely passed the last test, and now they’re acting like I’m supposed to solve equations that look like they belong in a university textbook.”

Shadow’s crimson eyes flickered to the paper in her hands before he leaned back slightly. “..I don’t see why it’s necessary for you to do this. You’re not planning to be a mathematician.” He tilted his head, his voice slightly curious. “Or.. are you?”

“Absolutely not.” Y/N responded instantly, a look of horror flashing across her face, looking at him as though he just asked her to lick his shoes.

He hummed, turning back to his report. “Then it’s pointless.”

“Exactly!” she cried, throwing her arms in the air. “And yet, if I don’t finish it, I’ll probably fail the class. Which means more extra work. Which means less time with you. Do you see the problem here, Shadow?”

He didn’t respond, merely flipping to the next page of his report.

Y/N narrowed her eyes. He was trying to ignore her.

Desperate, she decided it was time to use her last resort—the one thing that could shatter his cold, unshakable composure.

She shifted in her seat, adjusting her posture slightly before tilting her head just the right amount. Her eyes widened, her lips formed into a small, innocent pout, and she blinked up at him slowly, the perfect image of helplessness.

“…Shadow?” she said, her voice sweet and soft.

His shoulders instinctively tensed.

She saw his grip on the report tighten, the edges of the paper slightly crinkling.

He didn’t look up.

She leaned closer, resting her chin on the desk as she peered up at him through her lashes. “Please? help me out here?” she murmured.

His jaw clenched, his fingers twitching against the paper.

She could see the internal war raging inside him. He was holding on by a thread—a single, final thread of resistance.

She tilted her head further, her voice taking on an even softer tone. “Shads~?”

The thread snapped.

Shadow exhaled sharply, setting his report down with a quiet thud. He pinched the bridge of his nose, closing his eyes for a brief moment, before looking at the mountain of assignments in front of her.

“…Give me the papers.”

Y/N grinned, immediately pushing everything toward him.

“I hate you,” he muttered as he picked up the math packet.

“I love you too~” she replied cheerfully, a sly smirk on her face.

He sighed again, reluctantly grabbing a pencil. He was the student council president, the top-ranked student in the school—and now, he was doing his girlfriend’s assignments just because she had given him puppy eyes. how embarrassing.

She truly was his greatest weakness.

---

The next day, during lunch, Y/N confidently handed in all her assignments. She knew how shadow always finished whatever he started, and trusted him.

but, she barely had time to celebrate before she was called back into multiple classrooms, one after another.

Her math teacher examined her work with a skeptical expression. “Y/N…" Her math teacher looked at her. "I have to admit, I was surprised by how well you did on this. These equations are advanced, and yet you solved them with perfect accuracy.”

Y/N gulped, as she forced a smirk on her face.

The teacher’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Are you sure you did this by yourself? On all your othet tests, you would barely pass.”

“Pfft!-- Of course!” Y/N spoke quickly, her voice an octave higher then normal, as she smiled nervously.

The teacher raised an eyebrow, unconvinced, but didnt say anythung. “Hmm… You did so well, I think you could move up a few grades at best.”

Her eyes widened in horror. “Oh! I, uh, I prefer to stay where I am! No need for that!”

The teacher raised an eyebrow but eventually let it go, saying they would think about it, but eventually lost, after y/n kept going at it, saying she was fine just where she was.

Y/N sighed in relief—she’d barely escaped that one.

Then came her English teacher.

The moment Y/N stepped into the classroom, she was met with teary eyes. The teacher was dabbing at her face with a tissue, sniffling loudly.

“Y/N…” she whispered, holding the essay in her hands.

Y/N tensed. “Uh… yes?”

“This… This was beautiful.” The teacher wiped another tear away. “I have never read something so.. so heartfelt, so moving… The way you expressed such deep emotions, the raw pain and love in your words—it touched my soul.”

Y/N blinked, as she opened her mouth, before closing it again. “.. thank you?” she said hesitantly, unsure how to react.

The teacher let out a dramatic sob, hugging the paper to her chest. “I must read this to the class!” she cried. "No! the entire school!"

“N-no need!--” Y/N declined immediately.

The teacher ignored her, still gushing over the essay. Y/N mentally cursed Shadow—what in the world had he written? what sorcery had he done?

Finally, she was sent to her Spanish teacher.

The teacher flipped through her assignment, eyes wide in disbelief.

“This is…” the teacher murmured, shaking his head in amazement. “This is truly impressive. The grammar, the structure, the fluency—you even used complex phrases that most students don’t even attempt. I’m flabbergasted.”

Y/N forced a smile, resisting the urge to bang her head against the wall.

“…You didn’t use a translator, did you?” They sighed, shaking their head.

She shook her head quickly. “Nope! Definitely not!”

The teacher narrowed his eyes. “Hmm… Maybe we should consider putting you in an advanced—”

“No thanks!” Y/N blurted out, before clearing her throat. “I mean, um.. I think I’d prefer to stay at my current level. I wouldn’t want to miss out on, uh… group activities! Yeah!”

The teacher stared at her for a moment before finally nodding. “...Well, Alright. if you say so.”

Y/N sighed in relief as she finally left the classroom.

As soon as she was out of earshot, she pulled out her phone and immediately sent a message to Shadow.

Y/N : WE NEED TO TALK.

Not even a second later, her phone vibrated with a response.

SHADOW ❤️ : What happened?

Y/N : WHAT DID YOU WRITE IN MY ENGLISH ASSIGNMENT?? WTF DID U EVEN DO??

SHADOW ❤️ : I may have put a little effort into it.

Y/N : ..A LITTLE EFFORT?? SHE WANTED TO READ IT INFRONT OF THE ENTIRE SCHOOL!??!?

Y/N : AND THEN THE MATH TEACRHEGR SAID I DID WELL?? THEY NEVER COMPLIMENT ANYONEKKFS WORK!!

SHADOW ❤️ : They always say I excel at what I do. I'm not sure what you're trying to get at.

Y/N : OH SHUT UP. you're just every teachers favourite student.

SHADOW ❤️ : I know.

Y/N groaned, stuffing her phone back into her pocket.

Next time, she was doing her own assignments.

..probably.

Found a couple of early reviews for Apostles of Mercy! Mild spoilers ahead:

Also, if you pre-order the book in any format you can show the publisher your receipt to get a free bookplate signed by the author!

Personally I got the e-book so that it will appear on my kindle the day it is released and I can have my heart broken immedately (affectionate).

{D I G I M O N} 02 - @.M.V x "Kocchi wo Muite" {"Look This Way"} M U S I C (C) C.L.A.M.P / K O D A N S H A (Originally from: C a r d c a p t o r S a k u r a) + DAIHIKA

Summary:

D i g i m o n 02 (C) T O E I @.M.V. by Me No $$$ is being made off this Fan-work

Notes: -This part took about 45 min already. - Aiming for an 08-02 finish, but let's see what happens...!! - This @.M.V. is overall a Stand-alone work. (It is not directly involved with my other work); However, it can be considered a work For the storyline that's a precursor to Repeat-verse, which came before that story was conceived!) Therefore, it can be watched as a Stand-alone! - I reused a part of an older edit for the Tri P.V.; (for timing placements) it had an old subtitle on, but I'll remove that for the finished version! However, the work is overall/near-wholly 02-focused (so far)!

{I have not yet re-written the DaiHika storyline involved with the past fic-verse of mine; So please take this work as a sort of preview to it!}
