“And it’s hard to believe that it’s me that you’re missing, now you’re trying to speak and I don’t want to listen” — ikari -> keana

Hearing him say this she froze. What was this sudden change from him? Had she done something she was unaware of for this drastic difference in treatment? Maybe it was from that time she lost her cool at him and Satsuki-san. His words though were like a sharpened blade in her for some reason. Was it because she considered him family? Someone close to her? She allowed herself stupidly assumed that things wouldn’t go sour. Gods she was stupid.

Regaining herself she took a slow breath in. Her emotionless mask was back on now. Hiding the turmoil she was dealing with. She shouldn’t have allowed herself to open up enough to let these words rub salt into her wounds of abandonment. Moving her hair from her face she looked at him. “Is that so? Alright then. I hope you have a good holiday since I’ve applied for official leave for the next month.” It was official - she was someone who would always be a loner. It was a miracle that they had stayed partnered with her this long. This breather from the workplace would allow her to really separate and reset herself. Maybe that trip to Paris was due now.

“It was a pleasure working with you two.” Bowing politely she made her way out. Hopefully by her return there would be a new team for her to join but if not, desk work was fine. Her heart will be back to where it’s needed - closed and cold. It was better that way.

Out of the fics you have been working on recently, do you have a favorite one that you enjoy working on the most?

Hey there~♥

Oof, that's a hard one, really. xD

I honestly think Devil's Contract is my favorite just because it's helped me get through some rough times during last year. Ironically, I was in a relationship with a guy who introduced me to Overlord, but that guy ended up being not so great (we'll say to spare folks), and it spawned Dancing with the Devil and Devil's Contract for me to cope. ♥ Then COVID made me scared I'd lose my job I'd been at for 9 years (10 now), so I used it to distract myself and take control over the bad in my life.

I also realized that some folks are like me too--they want to read a bad situation and hold hope in their hearts it will get better just like I do. So, I continue to write it for myself and them even if it has a... history with it in the fandom where a person is a bit hyper sensitive of its existence. ♥ I update it sparingly because of this, mind you, as I know the person is still creeping about.

But out of all my Overlord fanfics, it is my most popular with 114 subs to it and 125 bookmarks. (A majority are private if you couldn't guess) XD But I am still blown away by the reception of it. I would hazard a guess that 60% of the readers don't know who Demiurge is. x'D They are just tag surfing. I don't mind that at all, haha. ♥

In Another Life, We Could Have Been Lovers is pretty enjoyable so far as I feel I can be forward about a lot of things I feel are wrong with people and the world in general. (We'll get to that eventually LOL) But I just like writing a 'what if' Demi who shows what he does to those who are loyal to him and Nazarick--he's sweet and loving and will protect you. But if you hurt him or those he cares for, he won't be kind.

The Tome of Ashurbanipal was my attempt to get my Supreme Being ideas finally down and on paper. I was actually a bit swayed away from the idea of making one, because I felt the fandom had so many. There was no way I could create one that would feel unique or interesting to read as those types are already done and dusted. So instead of making a linear story about it, I decided snippets should be fine as well as any other random ideas that pop into my head. I have debated a modern day Demiurge in that collection of drabbles who acts yandere af, but we'll see. xD I still love using this fic for my 'I have nowhere to go with this' idea collection.

I think the moment I found out Ashurbanipal has fanfics written by the Supreme Beings made me too happy. X"D Then I was like 'yeah, but what if the NPCs wrote some too?' So I just wager this is Demiurge's collection of 'what ifs' and the like as well. Him fantasizing about his struggles to be with the Supreme Being and other things to take out his frustrations of not getting her. It's why the story isn't linear as it reads more like his fanfic diary. LOL

I would say so far, those are my three enjoyable ones but Contract is my most favorite out of all of them. Amnesia I am struggling a bit, but I am trying to keep going to at least finish it as I hate leaving things unfinished! x'D It's so funny. I have Amnesia plotted out from beginning to end, but oof is it hard for me to focus on for some reason.

Thank you for the ask!
