#thinking about yuanqing omegaverse again

Four ruts a year - that is the normal cycle for an alpha. However, it seems that having lived a long time - and having substained himself on an unhealthy amount of repressants - Jing Yuan's ruts rarely come around but, thanks to the minor blessings of life, they are not unpredictable.

One of the first signs of Jing Yuan's oncoming rut, if they do not look at the calendar, is the quiet way Yanqing's articles of clothings disappear into the aether. Just a cloak here, a pair of shorts there - all old clothes that Yanqing does not wear anymore but cannot bear to part with – nothing too much out of the ordinary.

When he was younger, Yanqing had always made a hunt out of them: tiptoeing around and lying in wait until he could pounce onto the clothing thief.

And Jing Yuan would always catch him, as he always does when Yanqing, whether he is a decade old or has lived a full century, flings himself at him. Then Jing Yuan would carry him back to where his lost clothings are, into a nest soft with affection.

But nowadays, when Yanqing realizes his clothes have been spirited away again, he does not go on a hunt for them anymore. Instead, he files in a form of absence to be sent to Qingzu. And he ties up the ongoing work that he still has until the most urgent ones are completed and those that can wait tidied up to be tackled later on.

Then he packs up a bundle of clothes and necessities and moves into Jing Yuan's room. And there, he stays, for the next couple of days until Jing Yuan's rut passes.

me hopping between wips like

i wanna work on the yoi time travel fic

stares at blank document for 2 minutes

gives up and reads a cytham fic

for some reason it gives me an idea for my "light is not kira (but still has a god complex dw)" fic

writes three new paragraphs. thinks i should probably do some research before i write more since i've given light a different backstory and i dont wanna get it wrong

remembers yugen, that oisuga fic i was reading before i had ao3 and keep reminding myself to reread and catch up bc it must have ended by now i'm pretty sure. yeah sure i'll reread it later

gets a sudden urge to write for my yuanqing post-post-apocalypse omegaverse fic

instead of writing i think of the two ocs i created so yanqing could be jealous and imagining their own outings before they properly get together. yknow instead of thinking abt the main couple i had this whole fic idea for

i remember how i was doing good progress on my old danganronpa fic that i'd forgotten about until i was moving all my wips and ideas to ellipsus and remind myself to outline the other ships' stories instead of just the saioumami and komahina parts of the fic

i get a flashback to my first fic and mentally complain about how i have no idea where i wrote down (if i even did) the ideas i had for its rewrite that i've supposedly been working on since 2018 (i don't have a single line written). instead of writing down the ideas i came up with a few months ago, i also keep them on my mind, meaning it's highly possible this will repeat again and again and again

i feel guilty about doing all this instead of working on the multichapter fic that i've already posted on ao3 and said i was gonna try my best to maintain a monthly schedule (i only post three chapters and 1 of those was a rewrite of the original prologue, one was an incredibly short new prologue that didn't rlly add much, and only the last was actually interesting new content)

after sulking for a bit i'm reminded of how much progress i've been doing on my hp fics even though the one i'm technically the furthest ahead has only been rewrites of the first draft. but like at least i can see how much i've improved.

i open the p5 metaverse!akira akeshu document and read through it all and don't add a single new thing to it

my other wips continue to collect dust until they somehow enter this cycle
