Finally finished reading through the most recent round of [community profile] seasonsofdrabbles , so I can now share my wrap up post! This was definitely a really fun round 🥰

My gifts
I received so many lovely gifts this time. More than double what I usually receive, so I'm extra grateful! There are so many of my favorite fandoms, ships, and tropes here:

I managed to write six fics this time. There were a lot of good requests and I felt inspired 😅

It was not a good week for sleep 😩 I feel sorta like I've been in a daze the whole week, but I also somehow managed to write a lot of stuff too?? Weird how that works.

Anyway, a very link-heavy summary below:

September is almost over, and I say GOOD RIDDANCE. Despite a few bright spots, it has not been a great month overall.

Anyway, I still have my regular weekly things to share. Let's get to it:

I had a busy but exciting work week, so that was a nice change of pace from the usual "busy but stressful" work week 🤭 The weather turned rainy for a bit here, but the temperatures have remained nice, so it's been a good transition to Fall so far. (Of course, I'm sure we'll still have some unseasonably warm days off and on until November, but at least it's more tolerable.)

But anyway, enough about the weather. Let's dive in!

We started the week off with a holiday, which was lovely. And then work was so incredibly busy for the rest of the week 😭 I am still exhausted.

Anyway, this'll be a shorter summary this week.

August has wrapped up! It was not a great month for me so I'm not sad to see it go. But September looks to be really busy, so we'll see how that goes. Hopefully well 🤞

I finally finished and posted my [community profile] intoabar fic this week!

☆ A flame in the land of ice and snow (Yu Yu Hakusho, Avatar the Last Airbender)

My prompt this year was Hiei walks into a bar and meets Katara! I had kinda hoped for a character that would work for a humor fic, but the vibe wasn't there for these two. So I went with a different idea, and I'm really happy with how it turned out!

While I'm here, I also want to share last year's fic too:

☆ The family disappointment (My Hero Academia, Yu Yu Hakusho)

That prompt was Iida Tenya walks into a bar and meets Hiei. It was my first time participating, so this one was a bit difficult to write. But ultimately, I'm happy with my idea for this fic too.

Lastly, I persuaded my friend to sign up this year too, and I read her fic last night. It's a ton of fun! I was grinning to myself the whole time

☆ Mission Accomplished (My Hero Academia, Haikyuu!!)

Todoroki Shouto walks into a bar and meets Tanaka! I'm not really familiar with Haikyuu but it wasn't necessary to enjoy this fic!

I'm hoping to check out more of this year's fics soon. There were a lot that looked really interesting to me 👀

To celebrate Three Weeks for Dreamwidth, I posted a couple of fics this week. They'll be cross-posted to ao3 sometime after May 15, but for now, you can read them here on my journal 🥰

All four fics were a part of my hanami fic project, which was simply to write fics featuring hanami as some part of the story. Hanami is a common springtime activity in Japan where people gather to view cherry blossoms (sakura) at the peak of their blooming. It's usually a nice little picnic!

Here are the fics:

☆ Improvising (Yu Yu Hakusho, Shizuru/Botan)

☆ Less than ideal is still pretty good (My Hero Academia, Ochako/Mina)

☆ Petals drifting on the breeze (Fruits Basket, Kyou/Tohru)

☆ Under the trees (Avatar the Last Airbender, Zuko/Sokka)

Hope y'all enjoy! I had more fics planned for this project but I think I'll save them for next year

To celebrate Three Weeks for Dreamwidth, I decided to go ahead and post my hanami project fics here, and then crosspost them to ao3 later.

So here's fic number one! My hanami project was simply a little challenge I made for myself to write fics centered around hanami (a Japanese tradition for cherry blossom viewings). It's a bit late now for the subject, but in my defense, I started this project in March 😂

Title: Improvising
Fandom: Yu Yu Hakusho
Pairing: Botan/Shizuru
Wordcount: 1.2k
Rating: G
Notes: Fluff, Getting Together, Rain

As I mentioned in my most recent weekly summary, I actually did a little bit of art over the weekend! It's been over a year since I've touched my sketchbook, but I had a silly idea and just had to try drawing it.

Saturday was the Lunar New Year, and the beginning of the Year of the Dragon. I don't personally celebrate this holiday, but I was inspired by a lot of lovely art on Twitter and also the silly idea that there are so many anime (and other cartoon) characters I like that are associated with dragons in some way.

I'm really proud of how the art turned out (even though I'm still very much a beginner and have to use reference photos), so I wanted to share the art here too. Four photos under the cut!

I just wanted to highlight a few fics I enjoyed from the most recent [community profile] seasonsofdrabbles round:

☆ juxtaposition (Psych, Shawn & Gus)

☆ Logos, Ethos, Pathos, Eros (Star Trek Lower Decks, Tendi/T'Lyn)

☆ resting my eyes (Yu Yu Hakusho, Botan/Shizuru)

☆ Bodies (One Piece live action, Luffy/Zoro)

☆ dunks (Ouran High School Host Club, Haruhi/Tamaki)

☆ Jack's Day Off (Stargate SG-1, Jack & Merrin)

The full collection, sorted by fandom, is here

I also wrote a little treat for this round even though I didn't sign up. You can read it on ao3 here: Threshold (Yu-Gi-Oh, the Ishtar siblings)

Or you can read it right here in this post below the cut:

Challenge #10

Five Things! The five things are totally up to you.


Since today I'm celebrating 10 years since I first joined ao3 and posted my first fic (🥳), I think it'll be okay to self-rec five fics for this one!

My focus will be on wlw fics because they never get as much love as my other fics. And I'm trying to focus on writing women more in upcoming fics too 🥰

Read more... )

All of these fics pretty much just sappy fluff because that's who I am as a person, but I hope to keep writing a variety of wlw stories in the future~!

Search in your current space, whether brick-and-mortar or digital. Post a picture (a link to a picture will be fine!) or description of something that is or represents...

(The prompts and my answers are below the cut! I have included several photos, but I'm posting from my phone so I used thumbnails. You should probably click on each image to see it better)

I made it through the first week of the year, which is historically a difficult week for me to get through. But I've actually had a really nice week.

I've got a lot to share for this week's summary!

Oh this is a tough one!

I started a rewatch of Yu Yu Hakusho last week and stumbled across a hilarious bit of background art that I'd somehow never noticed before!

At the end of episode 21 (English dub title: Yusuke's Sacrifice), you can see various posters on the wall in Kuwabara's bedroom.

And one of those posters is for Oingo Boingo?!

Every year, just for fun, I go back and look over all the fic I wrote in the past twelve months like those fic meme things that used to go around. I didn’t follow any specific template, but anyone is welcome to use this one if they want. So here are the results for 2023! (Last year's overview is here. Previous years are on my lj which I'm not gonna bother to link)

I posted a total of 53(!) complete fics on AO3, with a wordcount totaling 50,360 words.

...no I didn't intend to post two fics starting with the word "how" today 😅 Anyway, this is number four of my six Christmas fics! This one definitely should have been written/posted a few weeks ago, but such is life. I enjoyed writing it, even if it's belated.

Title: How lovely are your branches
Fandom: Yu Yu Hakusho
Pairing: Kurama/Hiei
Summary: Against his better judgment, Hiei helps Kurama decorate a Christmas tree
Length: 1.3k
Notes: fluff and humor, pre-relationship, Christmas tree, Hiei's love language is putting up with whatever human bullshit Kurama is into

This past week flew by so fast! I was pretty busy scrambling to get work done before my deadlines. But I made it through, and now it's time for Christmas celebrations 🎄😊

But let's get through the weekly summary first:
