Ao3 of my contributions

[phaerlax]

Looking back at 2024 writings~ ✍️

Thought I'd have my own go at those "a year in art" things that artists do! I wrote something every month this year! Usually multiple somethings. There were a lot of fan events, huh. Here are the highlights... (The underlined things are links btw)

January: 🧪🌈🐍 supervised sex for science

This fic was way more popular than my average! The perks of not writing about GaruKaru... but evidently that allure did not hold me back for the rest of the year lmao I wrote this for a 2023 secret santa, but the deadline was until January and I only started in January, so it counts. I had fun with the fic, even though it's a bit outside of the 'written for sexual gratification' zone I usually go for.

February: 🐺🦈🎁🐺 Blade b-day bonanza

For the Blade birthday fanweek, I wrote this story wherein Garu and Karu give him a cute present. Then they fuck (unrelated). The main thing I like about this in retrospect is how I depicted Karu somehow failing to top someone who is clearly ok with doing whatever he says. さすがカイルくん...

March: 🐺❄️🐺 c'est le pupcest

I wrote it in response to a prompt in the Kink Meme, but also gifted it to Sungel because Sungel had been asking for something like this for a while and I would feel really smug if they were the anon who submitted the prompt but alas that they were not. Anyway. Garu's separation anxiety in Frozen Echoes sure was something, huh? Kink-wise, I love the 'wrestling for dominance' trope and I love the idea of Garu going along with it just to humor Karu but somehow winning.

April: 🌈😈🐺 Morvay madness

One of my Morvay week contributions! I also did one for Karu/Morvay but that was less popular. I'm very fond of both anyway. Morvaru, my beloved...! I will continue to be your only prophet. Really hoping 2025 will bring us more Morvay content in general. Anyway, Garu gets to stick his little thing in someone again in this story and that's neat. Have I made Garu top more frequently than Karu lol

April was also a month in which I wrote quite a lot of my problematic original spanking-focused fics, hm. There was the bunny boys story, the mechanical boy, a new chapter of Smitten, and the prince/slaves fic!

May: 🌈🐺/🦊🐺 good master bad master

This is one of my Kuyaru Week pieces! Hugely inspired by that Ray drawing of Karu getting a hairbrush hiding from Kuya (which was in turn inspired by me of course, our relationship is beautiful). I thought it would be fun to compare Eiden brushing Garu's tail to Kuya 'brushing' Karu's tail. I was right, it was fun. Karu getting spanked will always do it for me. I also had Kuya turn him into a bunny that month, which was darker but also fun. A bit of strangulation for my good friend and editor who deserves such treats (do you see how beautiful our relationship is).

June: 🌈🪦 he died as he lived,

The first of many drabbles I'd submit to nuflashfic's Drabbles for the Birthday Boy(s) challenges. Writing these drabbles is quite fun. I get to make something really quick and dirty but still feel a sense of accomplishment. I think they're also a good creative exercise in figuring out which words actually matter. I managed to fit so many characters in this first one!

July: 🧪🐺 guilt-ridden medicinal dogfucking

This was written for the Rei zine! I knew that I wanted to write Reiaru for that project (see here), but Rei and GaruKaru's backstory was still nebulous when it began. I waited and waited, hoping that we'd get some elaboration, and boy did we! I ended up leaning into Rei's sense of duty in taking care of Garu, even though that kind of sentimentalism isn't much my cup of tea. This story inspired a very talented Chinese artist to draw this amazing piece, which is still crazy to me.

July is also the month of Human Quality, and Kuya/Quincy/GaruKaru which might be my best work.

August: 🐺☀️🐺🦀 can't meme this any harder

For the Dante zine, Sunkissed! Turns out that pairing the least popular characters in a not very evocative scenario doesn't go over so well, hits-wise. Whatever man, I got a crab fight scene. There's even art of it in the zine, drawn by contacthigh, whose dantaru pitches led me to the whole concept actually. I enjoy the instances of "Karu gets irrationally annoyed at Dante's use of magic to solve problems" in this story. Also the dogs being cluelessly sexy.

August is also when we started the Everyone/Garu anthology! I wrote the Dante chapter, then the Blade chapter, then the Morvay chapter, and edited all of the others. I'm very proud of that fic; three minds turned to a singular purpose... dogfucking 😌 we accomplished much.

September: 🦊🐺♀️ lesbian yaoi...?!

I had to see if I could... it seems that I can. My preferred flavor of humiliation transcends gender barriers to some extent, apparently. This year I lowkey found some latent bisexuality within me; I blame the gyaru bratty uke in that "Fucked by my best friend" manga.

October: ☀️🦇🏖️ bikini Aster, your honor

For Daster Week! I know that people are generally more interested in getting their bottom Dante / subverted expectations fix from daster, but I like bottom Aster too. I enjoy the dynamic of Aster being very manipulative and weaponizing his cuteness to push Dante around. This fic was inspired by that incredible fanart I'm happy to have boosted. Not enough people are sexualizing the cute boys to my taste in this game and I will continue working to change that. That sounded wrong but tbh it's meant that way.

November: 🦇🐺🍣🥢forever snacking on Karu

November was a busy, busy month with Wolves Week 2024! Apparently I only have a couple drabbles, since most of my effort went into writing the Morvay chapter and editing the Karu chapter of Project F.T.D. But I had to put out at least a little something for astaru! And continue consolidating my paralysis fetish...

December: 🐺🐍🌡️ shivering snake shenanigans

My contribution to this year's Advent Calendar, finally some proper yakaru from me! I love Karu being fussy (and failing to top, of course). Yakumo disastrously losing control of his urges is always good too. Though funnily enough, I'd rather see both of them be dommed and frustrated at the same time. Neither of these boys should top. Kuya please--

Closing thoughts

This was a year in which I got more "serious" about writing, starting around September or so. I don't want to be a professional writer (being forced to 'create' is something that I dread and the main reason I decided to quit academia this year!), but I'm starting to make a career out of editing/proofreading, in addition to my translation work. And it's kind of crazy how much fic-writing and beta reading have helped me hone essential skills for that field!

It has also been a year of liberation, in the sense that I started out still quite nervous about exposing the depths of my particular depravities. As the new year approaches, I realize I'm quite different now; I have no problem listing out the specific things that most appeal to me in smut, or shamelessly hitting those same buttons over and over and over in my writing. I'm fueled and encouraged by the kudos and comments from people who are almost always there for it 💛 Thank you for always being in my morning AO3 e-mails.

For 2025, I want to go back through my older fics and give them minor makeovers; fixing some jank, standardizing punctuation, that kind of stuff. I also want to give closure to the non-oneshot fics that aren't finished. But mostly I want to keep joining fan events and giving myself anxiety over deadlines, because I love looking back at everything later and seeing some impact on the fandom. It's neat. It's kind of like having a social life.

I might branch out into Noctilucent and Jock Studio fics in 2025 too, in addition to my sporadic and, uh, specialized original work.

Just in case you’re curious, this is the current version of my post, which I hope won’t get flagged. The ao3 link there provides both the uncensored and the previous censored version, the one that got flagged. Maybe tumblr ai automatically flags pictures that contain certain sexually connotated shapes and poses, but also black censor boxes

hopefully it doesn't flag it again 🤞🏾

Kuyaru Week 2024 Day 3, Prompts: Grooming + Threesome

Karu gets to know his own hole~

————————

I wasn’t quite satisfied with this one, so I decided to throw in a small drabble of ~200 words. This, as well as a censored full version below the cut.

Drabble and full uncensored version on Ao3.

Karu yelped, hips stuttering a little, when Kuya suddenly slapped his hard cock against his back to rub it over the cleft of his ass. Growling at the fox yokai, he tried to find his rhythm again, as he gently pounded into Garu. “Don’t you dare ruin it, stupid fox!”

“Hehe, does it feel good, hm?”, Kuya mused, kneading Karu’s hips and nibbling at his ear, adoring the way the wolf pup’s entire body shook from the sensation.

“Tch, none of your business!” Despite his hissy attitude and the glare he tried to shoot back at the older yokai, he dropped his ear to the other’s mouth to let Kuya lick it.

“Hahhh, m-more-! Please~!” Garu barely seemed to care about their little scuffle, simply spreading his legs and laying back, as his counterpart fucked his ass.

“See? I told you your hole feels great~” Kuya drawled teasingly, when he heard a moan slip out of Karu’s throat, when a particular thrust of the foxes hips pushed him deeper into Garu.

“Y-You-!”, Karu stammered, cheeks darkening from the comment, as Kuya moved to rub his cock against his hole more insistently. “Bastard-! Just you wait, I’ll-!” The rest of Karu’s meagre threat was swallowed by a scream mixed with a pleasured moan, when the fox shoved his length into the other’s hole and harshly bit down on his ear.

Kuyaru Week 2024 Day 4, Prompt: Dry Humping

Cw: Dry humping, Dom/sub, edging, thigh riding, coming in pants

Word Count: 795 words

Honest to goodness, I have no idea what to a) make for this prompt and b) what dry humping even is in particular, I just have this rushed short.

It’s also on Ao3.

—————————

“M-Master Kuya…?”

Kuya glanced up from where he was busy trying to decipher the secret of the playing cards the young master had given him. The wolf pup was seated on his thigh, hands obediently kept to himself and resting on his knees. While Kuya found his youthful naivety and energetic playfulness dull, he relished in his ability to follow orders.

Garu had been straddling his thigh for hours now, no time at all to the fox, but an eternity to the young yokai, an eternity of not being allowed to cum, while he rubbed his clothed crotch against Kuya’s firm leg. Teary, big, blue eyes had been hopefully staring up at his aloof expression all the while, only occasionally turning away, as fluffy ears dropped and a small whine made it past the wolf pup’s lips. His thin pants were soaked in his pre-cum and his mouth was open, as he panted, the exhaustion of grinding against Kuya’s thigh and the edging starting to wear him down.

Kuya had considered just letting him edge himself until he broke, but he had to admit, watching Garu tear up and silently beg for attention while obediently doing the ridiculous things he was told was far more entertaining than those playing cards which refused to reveal their secrets.

After some more time of plainly staring at the cards and secretly observing how Garu’s fingers clenched and unclenched around the fabric of his pants, he gave in. Placing the cards on a nearby shelf, the fox leaned against the armrest, resting his head on his fist and turning his bored gaze to the wolf pup on his lap.

“Master Kuya-?” Garu perked up, a naive hope in his eyes, as Kuya traced a finger along the yokai’s jawline and gently yet firmly grabbed his face. The wolf pup’s tail started to wag upon receiving the elder’s attention.

“A passable job. But it’s getting boring. Why don’t you cum for me right here and there, hm?” A mean grin spread on Kuya’s face, as he flexed his thigh and lightly thrust it up against Garu’s crotch.

The reaction was immediate.

“A-Ah!~ Y-Yes, master Kuya!~ I’ll come for you-!” The wolf pup nearly choked on his words, as his movements grew more hectic, more animalistic. He ground down hard against Kuya’s thigh, moaning and leaning into the fox’s touch.

Kuya could tell just from the way he rubbed against his leg that Garu was expecting him to move his thigh again, just like he did before, but he thought that the sad disappointment in his eyes and the cute mewls he let out were worth tormenting the wolf pup for.

It still didn’t take more than a few seconds for Garu to orgasm with a relieved moan, his small cock twitching in his pants and dampening the fabric even further. Fully drained and exhausted, he fell forward against the fox’s chest, burying his face in his pecs and panting heavily.

It was only during the time in which Garu recovered from his orgasm that Kuya realised he was hard.

‘Hah, such a poorly dull performance aroused you?’ He thought to himself, as he watched Garu crawl closer to him on his lap. ‘How very interesting… Perhaps the pup is worth more than you think…”

Kuya waited until Garu seemed to regain most of his consciousness, then he hooked his fingers underneath the waistband of the wolf pup’s shorts and pulled them down just enough to free his asshole.

“Hahh? M-Master Kuya, what are you- Oh!~” Garu gasped, when the fox gripped his cheeks firmly and spread them, prodding at his tight hole with his index.

“Did you really think that was all?”, Kuya purred, a sadistically amused undertone in his voice, as he dipped one finger past the wolf pup’s rim and testingly swirled it around inside. Loose enough, yet not so loose that the smaller yokai wouldn’t feel any pain. Grinning down at Garu, he pulled him closer, allowing their chests to be firmly squished against each other and for his clothed bulge to rub against the cleft of Garu’s ass. “All that foreplay was just for you, now it’s my turn.”

“Oh… Uhm… O-Okay-! What should I do?” Garu’s ears twitched and he moaned, squirming in discomfort at the stimulation. It seemed he was still quite sensitive from his orgasm.

“Heh, it’s quite simple.” Kuya pulled his finger out of Garu’s ass and opened his own garments to free his rock-hard cock. “Just don’t cum until I tell you to.”

“Ah-? Okay, but u-uhm… Why that agaaaaahhh!” Garu’s question was interrupted by a scream, as Kuya mercilessly forced his length into the barely prepared hole of the wolf pup.

“Easy. Now it’s my turn to enjoy your body~”

Kuyaru Week 2024 Day 5, Prompts: Training + Role Reversal

Puppy Kuya

————————

Full censored version and a short drabble below the cut.

Full uncensored version and the drabble on Ao3.

Kuya couldn’t help but let his ears twitch in amusement, as he observed the wolf-pup basking in the perceived power he held in the form of a short, purple leash that was tied to a golden collar around Kuya’s neck. Karu was about as intimidating as a blade of grass to him and the only reason he tolerated this change of roles was boredom.

“Now you’ll call me, the mighty Karu your master!”, the wolf pup announced proudly, as he yanked at the leash, clearly lacking any experience.

“Mm, alright, Master”, Kuya hummed, following the pull of the cold metal around his neck. There was no harm indulging the pup. If he ever acted up, thinking he was the superior one, the fox could just seize the opportunity and have some fun putting him in place.

“Hehe, good! Now sit, foxy!”

Kuya lightly narrowed his eyes, challenging the resolve of the naive pup, as he slowly lowered his nude form onto the floor. “Yes, Master~” Karu’s ears twitched and a flash of nervosity was seen in his eyes, before he caught himself and let his cockiness take over again.

“Good foxy!” Karu grinned victoriously, using both hands to fumble at the front of his shorts. A few seconds of quietly observing him struggle with the button, Kuya was met with the blushing tip of the wolf pup’s cute cock. “Suck, foxy!”

“Of course, Master.” Kuya scooted forward, his tail languidly swishing behind him, as he opened his mouth to service this new master.

2024 fandom goals

I meant to post this around New Year's but I was consumed by the Secret Santa fic I was trying to finish (which might speak to my need for more organization lol but anyway...)

2023 was a year of fandom reawakening for me. I started it with a singular NU: Carnival fic to my name, which I had posted in late 2022 after years without making any fanworks. I ended the year with 30 NU:C fics and two original works. Not too shabby! I'm also still feeling pretty inspired and happy to be engaging with the community; fanworks and fan projects have given me a needed creative outlet as I wallow in the morass of academia.

This year I wanna...

Post at least one fanfic per month. I love those 'my year in art' things and I wanna do it with fics. For 2023 I missed January.

Finish my longfics. I'm so bad at non-oneshot content... but I look at how many subscribers Familiar Feast and Presents came early have, and I feel an intense need to deliver. I'm also really interested in what comes next for those stories. I just... eugh... shiny new things instead... but I will!

Participate in NU:C events. Particularly the lineup by NuCarni Events. I'm interested in the Blade week, the Morvay week, the mid-year exchange (god help me), the Aster week, and the Advent Calendar. I might also do the Daster week, the Dante week and maaaybe the kuyaei week, depending.

Organize NU:C events. The 2023 GaruKaru week was a great success, I should do it again. I also want to use that fanpage to put together other fandom events that are wolfboy-centric. Priority #1 is a kuyaru week...

Housekeep my fics. I should update the start and end notes so they're less about that moment in time. I should also make some changes to the Blade/Rei and the Aster/Huey in light of new canon information. Clunky as AO3 may be when it comes to this.

Write more original work. Fanfic cannot accommodate all of the depraved visions with which I am cursed... though I am very driven by comments and kudos and, as such, fanfic will always be my priority. What little engagement I get on these has been so nice, though.

Overcome all fear of cancellation. Not that I have a lot of it, but still, I did worry a lot at first. This fandom has been fantastic about adhering to Don't Like Don't Read, though. I'm emboldened to post some more horrible things under my problematic pseud and trust people to curate what they engage with.

Collab with other creatives. I've never done it before, but it sounds fun, if a little daunting. There are a couple opportunities on the horizon, we'll see!~

Pair Garu and Karu with every other character. I already managed to make it so that fics with all of those pairings exist on Ao3 (check them out in this sheet), but many of those fics were not written by me. As a funky long-term goal I want to personally have at least one fic that is specifically written for each possible wolfboy pairing... and I've already written at least one fic with each character (even Edmond!), I think I can do it.

Guess I'll look back on this in December.
