Hello! Out of curiosity, what fics do you have open on your computer atm? Also, this is kinda a weird question, but I was wondering if there was a fic in particular you were looking forward to (updating, posting, finishing, just in general). I also thought I'd mention that I really, really like what you're doing with your Ashura fic! I stopped reading Naruto waaay before he was introduced, so I had to go and wiki some stuff, but I absolutely love him, he's such a precious ball of fluff!
💕💕💕
Four fics currently open, and...
1. a hurricane being born
With a shaky breath, Obito sinksdown on the grass, reaches over and buries his fingers in thick dark hair. “Kisame,”he whispers, and the man stirs, even with more of his flesh missing than attached.Luminescent eyes slide open, wavering in and out of focus, but finally they settleon Obito, and Kisame chuckles, low and wet and rasping.
“You,” he says, but it’s not anaccusation. “They got you too, huh?”
“Madara betrayed us,” Obito says.He curls his fingers, feeling blood and water in equal parts in Kisame’s hair,and closes his eyes again, letting himself bow forward, over Kisame's stillform. He just—wanted to die in a place of his own choosing, with the one personwho knows all the pieces of him, and not in front of the Kage and their uncomprehendinghatred.
Hope got him this far, hope and the knowledgethat Kisame is always stronger than people expect him to be, and now the lastof his strength is fading.
2. Bury my heart underneath these trees part 6
Oh, Indra, Ashurathinks sadly, and with the roil of that chakra so close all he can do is smilebitterly. You would hate this so much,wouldn’t you?
Not just his descendant declaring Ashura family.Not just the death of nearly his entire line. Not just Ashura’s closeness to achild of his blood. This whole world, Ashura thinks, so easy in its use ofchakra. He thought it needed to be burned out of existence, not shared, and tosee whole villages formed around its use, clans with special techniques, thecasual use of power that would have far outstripped his own—he would befurious.
3. Set the Battlements Ablaze (Cry Havoc ‘verse part 4)
“Why don’t you rest?” Konansays, gentle. Curls her fingers into shaggy red hair, around the nape of a neckno longer pierced by black chakra rods, and rests their temples together. “I’llfind something.”
“I should help,” Nagato says,but he sounds exhausted, and there's a slump to his shoulders that says he’s inpain.
“You’ve done your part, Nagato.” She doesn’tlook at the body on the table, keeps her eyes on Nagato instead of the cornerwhere it rests. Not yet. Not quite. “Let me do what I can. This is for both ofus.”
4. I’m up in the woods (I’m down on my mind) part 4
All of her warnings to Kakuzu tobe careful and it’s Konan who ends up in the middle of things.
She smiles to herself, and maybeit’s a little bitter, but the cup in her hands is steaming gently and the smellof it is crisp, green, touched with something floral. It’s surprising; Tsumedoesn’t seem the type to enjoy flowers.
There's a clatter on the stairs,the slightly off sound of a shinobi trying to make noise for a civilian, and amoment later Tsume appears in the kitchen, her wild hair still dripping withwater and her face scrubbed clean. “Sorry about that,” she says a littlegruffly, turning to set the kettle on the stove again.
“Waiting is no trouble,” Konantells her. “Forgive me the intrusion.”
Tsume’s smile is crooked as she takes the seatacross from Konan at the well-worn kitchen table. “Not an intrusion,” shecorrects. “I'm grateful that you listened. Most people wouldn’t care about astranger like that.”
As far as the fic I’m looking forward to the most, it usually varies depending on what I’m writing at that particular instant, but for now I’m really excited for the next part of the Bazz-B & Harry series - the meeting with Sirius is going to be a really fun one, and there are a couple of plot twists coming up that I’m going to enjoy writing. ^-^

Hello again! I just caught up with the BnHA manga - I'd mostly used wiki to find out who everyone in msa was up until now - and was surprised to find that the drug used to take away quirks was temporary. Is it the same in msa universe? Has Izuku been doing this for nothing? Also, do you know what you're going to be posting first? (msa ch 4, byggualom ch 7, villain comedy, or even that msa transported to canon you mentioned months ago) Thanks! Good luck with both writing and school!
it’s not the same in the msa universe because i started writing msa before it was revealed that the effects of the drug were only temporary and by that time i didn’t feel like changing the plot. therefore: msa au’s quirk-breaking drug has near-permanent effects unless you buy the antidote from the 8 precepts. 
i’ll uhhhh probably be posting msa sports festival au or msa ch 4 first, whichever i clean up first. im a bit tied up @ school rn though so it might be a bit. thanks for your patience!

For TLM, what were you planning for Sayuri's powers? And how were they revealed - I take it she didn't tell anyone of their full power when she first awakened her shikai and bankai. How did she awaken her zampaktou?
Yeah, I’ll definitely say what her shikai ability is soon (haven’t fleshed out her bankai ability yet). That’s one of the things I planned out very early on and I’m looking forward to writing it (my favorite thing about this new format: no buildup, I can go straight from scene A to scene M if I want to). 
Feel like my readers will have a much easier time with prompts if they know what she can do haha.

Hi! So, I was thinking about the gifts people have in your fic and it occurred to me that the vast majority of gifts are completely terrifying, and that it would probably change a lot of things in the world. So does everyone have a gift? From what I understand, the only way the world would survive was if there were ways to prevent people with certain gifts from hacking the system, like yuuri did w/ the casino. Or do only a few people have gifts? And are they a secret from the general population?
Hi there!
Whooooops. Because of the style and structure of our doubts, a great deal of exposition that isn’t plot-essential gets left on the drafting table, which is a shame because I love this ‘verse so much, hah. So, you know, THANK YOU FOR THIS! Questions about worldbuilding are always my favourite. :)
The gifts we’ve seen so far have been fairly limited to those in the wetwork trade - which tends to draw individuals who have unusual gifts, be it in the nature of the ability or the extent of that ability. So Yuuri’s gift, Phichit’s, Victor’s - all these gifts are the outliers, rather than the norm (particularly Yuuri’s).
Gifts - and the knowledge thereof - are widespread, and are seen as a perfectly ordinary thing to possess, if not necessarily common. Most gifts are of the garden variety - such as Hiroko, who has the ability to order any dish to stay warm (basically). Both Toshiya and Mari don’t possess gifts, and neither does Leo. About one in four people are born with a gift of some sort, and most are fairly mundane in terms of what they can do.
SO, MY RAMBLING ASIDE (SORRY LOL) - not everyone has gifts, and those who do usually possess ‘tame’ gifts in comparison to the ones our boys have. Gifts are common knowledge, and are not seen as anything particularly out of the ordinary.
THANK YOU!!! <3333

rowanreader replied to your post: 4, 25 for your ask meme!
Any chance you'd be willing to post these eventually? They both sound pretty interesting lol
I mean, maybe ... what’s the appropriate tag to use for “I know these fics aren’t really great but I wrote them so I’m going to inflict them on the world”?

Hi, I just finished rereading your fic Ghost, and couldn't help but wonder - what's your opinion on Kakashi?
Excellent shinobi, kind of a bad teacher. And emotionally stunted. I think he did try with Team 7 but there was also probably a lot of pressure on him to pass that team no matter what because of Sasuke, and he never wanted to be a teacher anyway. I think he paid too much attention to the powerhouses of his team and not enough to Sakura but at the same time, his first time teaching and he gets stuck with three personalities like that - would be difficult for anyone. Also, all the past trauma he’s been put through can’t be healthy long-term.

Also! I don't know if this is a spoiler or anything, but Izuku made a deal for 3 questions + hearing the request out in exchange for not being arrested. But he was arrested. And it was implied that Izuku had to uphold the deal (or what - what happens if he doesn't) but are there any consequences for Kiri breaking the deal? Or Aizawa breaking the deal Kiri made on behalf of the heroes present? Does Izuku get some kinda benefit from them breaking the deal? Or was it technically not broken cuz
Kiri made the deal and not Aizawa? And! What can the spirits do? I mean, they can obviously interact with Izuku, and kinda affect the real world via their quirk (and making people go to sleep?) but can they do anything else? And, like, can the spirits ever purposely not work? I assume not, right? I was kinda hoping Eraserhead's spirit would find a way to avoid attacking Izuku when Eraserhead showed up... And can spirits merge/reproduce? Cuz they're inheritable? Anyway, loved the new snippet!
i’ll answer the ones that aren’t too spoiler-y!
1. kirishima is human, so his word isn’t binding the way it is for izuku. if kirishima broke his word, there wouldn’t be any consequences for him, just the interpersonal fallout. i.e. the only consequence would be how others might think of him afterwards 
2. technically, izuku only made the deal with kirishima to let him go in that moment -- and also to not try and stop him from getting away in the future. he didn’t make the deal with any of the other heroes, so aizawa arresting him doesn’t break kiri’s deal. 
3. no benefit to izuku if kiri breaks the deal. kiri’s human 
4. spirits can do lots of versatile things with their powers! there’s also Script, and also something else i’ve yet to introduce. their ability to affect the real world depends on where they’re anchored. more on that later
5. spirits can purposely not work but it’s... not beneficial to them. the price is unsavory. more on that later, also 
6. more on the formation of spirits later, also
more spoiler-y questions than i expected...

Hii I want to submit a prompt about TLM. So, it's a; what if Sayuri from the world where Sousuke lost his memory--yeah that one, got transported to the canon universe. When the Visored is already a thing, and she got like, dropped near Urahara Kisuke's place.
Well, I imagine she's not in a nice place mentally, but the floor is yours! Honestly I just want to see their interactions.... At this stage. Aha. I think Kisuke's perceptive enough to notice her similarity with Sousuke--and who knows what he'll do. But yes, the floor is yours. Thank you! Have a nice holiday:)
(Sorry for the late response! Also @rowanreader asked a very similar prompt, so I'm combining them here):
For the Lonely Ghost AU
(Takes place six months after the Grand Fisher incident and 5 months after Masaki and Isshin decided to tell their kids about the spiritual world)
“So. It’s just Sayuri-san, is it?” Kisuke asked genially, leaning back in his chair. “No last name?”
“None that I particularly care to go by,” the oh-so-mysterious Sayuri replied. In contrast to his own slouched pose, she sat back straight and shoulders relaxed, posture perfect enough that she wouldn’t have looked out of place at a Kuchiki dinner party. She glanced at him. “I assume I have you to thank for my new gigai?”
“Ah.” Kisuke rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. “There’s no need to thank me! Really, it’s the least I could do after you took care of Grand Fisher.”
“Mm.” Kisuke stilled as she looked at him fully for the first time, feeling her gaze settle on him like a weight. Something about those eyes--
"How are you finding it? No adjustment issues, I hope?" He asked.
"No," she replied. "Everything works perfectly. I haven't had any issues eating or drinking."
"That's good to hear. I was a little worried," Kisuke replied lightly. "I noticed you haven't touched your tea."
Something indecipherable flickered across her face.
"I haven't had tea in a long time. I'm afraid I've lost my taste for it," she murmured. Her eyes had gone distant again. "There's nothing wrong with the gigai, Urahara-san. Your work is perfect, as always."
Kisuke smiled, tilting the brim of his hat down.
"Such confidence in me already," he chuckled, shaking his head. "Do you always make such snap judgements of people?"
"You should be asking yourself that question, Urahara-san," she replied blandly. "I'm sure you've formed twice as many theories about me in the time we've been talking."
Kisuke laughed, more genuinely this time.
"Care to confirm any of them?" He asked, leaning forward.
"And ruin your fun?" Sayuri tilted her head to the side. "I wouldn't dare."
~~
"Curious," Kisuke mused, thinking aloud.
"You're talking about the woman Isshin brought in?" Tessai asked. "She's quite the mystery, isn't she? What did you think of her?"
"I'm certain I've never met that woman before in my life. Yet I'm equally as certain she's met me," he stated.
"Oh?" Tessai asked, surprised. "What makes you say that?"
"She's familiar with gigai. More interestingly, she's familiar with my gigai," Kisuke said. A shinigami who had never been in a gigai before almost always had trouble adjusting to being in a physical body. And most of them wouldn't expect to be able to eat, since that was a special feature unique to gigai designed by him-- Kurotsuchi hadn't seen a need to incorporate that into the design. That Sayuri had automatically assumed she would be able to eat and drink human food...well.
"I wouldn't be surprised if Kurotsuchi had a few of your old gigai lying around. Maybe she came across one of them?" Tessai suggested, somewhat doubtfully.
"Hmm. Maybe," Kisuke said noncommittally.
No, Sayuri's knowledge extended beyond his work-- she was familiar with him, personally. The only question was, how?

When Yuuri spoke to Viktor at the Olympics on the podium, we know he intended it as an insult, and Viktor interpreted it as flirting (that poor, poor boy), but what did Chris think it was? I mean he laughed, but was it b/c he thought Yuuri was flirting with or mocking Viktor? Was he aware of both the ways it could be taken?
Chris thought it was flirting too because he saw that Viktor was checking Yuuri out. To be fair to them both, ‘enjoying the view’ meaning, enjoying looking up at me because you’re on a lower podium’ is very context specific and you’d only really assume that’s how it’s meant since you’re in Yuuri’s head. But if you’re looking at someone and admiring them and they ask ‘enjoying the view’, you’re naturally going to think they mean ‘are you enjoying the view of me’

The rings! Yuuri was going to ask Viktor to marry him?! Ouch - I kinda imagine this just punches Viktor in the gut when he finds out. Also, at the gala, was Viktor freaked out over Yuuri? Like, Yuuri actually, whole heartedly believed their cover story, actually believed he was in love with and married to Boris? Enough that Viktor... what, let him remember temporarily? Why did he do that? At the gala? Wouldn't that be kinda risky, cuz Yuuri could have lost his hold on his gift and let Wong see?
The rings ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
Re: the gala, I think it was more Victor witnessing, properly, the culmination of the toll that Yuuri’s gift is taking on him. Victor's definitely aware - and increasingly so, as this chapter progresses - that Yuuri's losing his grip on reality and cracking, and when we get to the benefit, it’s pretty much an ‘oh fuck, this is serious’ moment.
What we had at the benefit was Yuuri sustaining a reality in which both Victor and him were themselves, and had their gifts, and then layered the reality of Soltanov and Daisuke on top of that. Think: a bubble within a bubble, with them in the inner bubble, and Yuuri cracking under the strain of maintaining it and keeping track of it, coupled with his unravelling mental health (which we all know was never the best to begin with). So Yuuri was always aware - or he was, at least, supposed to be aware - of who he was and his gift, and Victor’s.
I hope this helps! Thank you so much!! <3

So, Phichit won gold at the cup of China, while Yuuri won silver. Were people surprised that this total newbie beat one of the world's top two skaters? Or was it kinda not surprising because Yuuri did take time off skating and was aiming to peak later?
A lot of people were thinking that Yuuri and Viktor had hit their peaks and now would gradually start declining until they retired after what happened so there wasn’t much surprise

Oh wow TLM got dark. While I was kinda expecting it... I never imagined that. But still, it was very gripping, had me on the edge of my seat the entire time, and I absolutely adore Aizen and Sayuri's relationship. When she tried to escape... (1/2)
(2/2) I swear I felt the same dispair - I wanted her to escape! To be free with her brother... now Im so upset! And Tatsuya! I cried. Im kinda hoping Sayuri's going to revolt, poison or kill them in their sleep and run. No one'd suspect a 4 yr old.
Yeah, their lives kind of suck at this point. I feel like the main reason Sayuri hasn’t tried anything again is because the first and only time she did, things ended...badly. And no matter how much stronger she gets, there’s always going to be a part of her that’s completely and cripplingly terrified of messing up again, because she can’t go through that kind of isolation and mental torture a second time. To her, gladiator-style fight-to-the-death battles are still better than that feeling of being buried alive. She’s getting used to the former, at least. It’s doubtful she’ll ever get used to the latter.

For CLV, would you say Hadrian and Harry are the same person with different experiences, or different people entirely? Like, if Hadrian and Harry swapped at birth, would either have a different personality?
I think they’d still be a little different. They’re from alternate realities so there should already be differences between them, even if they’re slight. They’d be similar, especially if they grew up with each other’s influences, they might choose to react to certain things differently. (Although did you seriously send me a nature vs nurture ask?)

I was wondering, what did Shiori think when she sold her children - did she sell them or give them away? - like, what exactly did she expect was going to happen to her children? Also, what happened to her after? Is she still alive? Did she go back to her father? Does she even remember her children? (In WTL, it's implied that people essentially... forget the memories they don't want to remember)
Honestly, she had no idea what was going to happen to her kids– all she knew was that she couldn’t support them any longer and so gave them up. Yes, she did get money out of the deal but given how powerful they were getting, she knew that sooner or later someone would take them away. At least by giving them up willingly, she’d be getting something out of it. 
Had she known exactly what would happen to them, she probably would’ve fought harder to keep them. As it happened, she was under the impression that some yakuza boss wanted to take them in and train them. 
About the memory thing, I, uh, think you misinterpreted my meaning in WTL. I meant that most people forget their memories from when they were living– unless, of course, you’re like Hisana and your soul has a tendency to cling to memories. So no, Shiori won’t forget her children and to be honest, she won’t allow herself to. 
As for what happened to her, that’s up to you really. There are only 3 certainties regarding her fate: first of all, she never returns to her father. Despite everything, she’s still a very proud person– like, she’d sooner give up her own children than go to him for help. Secondly, she never sees her kids again, as I mentioned at the end of chapter 3. Thirdly, neither Sayuri nor Sousuke ever bother trying to look for her. As far as Sousuke’s concerned, the only person he needs in his life is his sister and he doesn’t consider Shiori worthy of being his mother, anyway. As for Sayuri, she understands why Shiori did what she did, but she’ll never be able to completely forgive her. She won’t hold a grudge, but…she doesn’t consider Shiori her mother anymore either.
