-bi_focal's original WIPs-
Sealed (planning/ first draft stage) | Horror/thriller, mystery, sapphic
A sapphic, coming-of-age story set in a small town where ghosts are reviled, ghost-catcher's are revered, and violent attacks are starting to pile up. An unlucky medium named Nishtha forms an unlikely bond with Veronica, a Catching prodigy, when their secrets are exposed to each other entirely by accident, meanwhile the bond between childhood sweethearts Cherry and Carter is put to the test when Cherry is offered a Catching apprenticeship by her mysterious uncle and the medium cousin who almost killed Carter as a child is released form jail with a story to tell that Carter doesn't want to hear. (Multiple POV)
All It's Worth (planning/ first draft stage) | Sci-fi/fantasy, adventure, queer romance
Set on a dying planet fraught with drought, Meric thinks his life will finally change for the better when the Prophets announce that there are two from his farming town with a Calling. Instead, he accidentally thwarts an assassination attempt on the young heir of House Myre and is forced to watch on as his neighbors pay the price. Ten years later, Meric has finally faked his way into the Priesthood when a chance encounter with the boy he saved so long ago thrusts them both into the heart of a conspiracy far older and far more dangerous than they realize
Forest Fire (planning/ first draft stage) | Mystery, magical realism, new adult fiction
Lincoln was fourteen when he went crazy and got lost in the woods, fourteen when he was rescued from something he still refuses to talk about, and fourteen when he left his town behind without a second glance. Itās at 22, though, when Lincoln falls apart. Forced to bring Peggy, a young girl who canāt get in contact with her father, and Sylas, the little brother he never expected to see again, back to the town where everything went wrong, Lincoln will have to decide if itās also the place where he can finally set things right or if the ghosts of the past will drag him down with them
I definitely get the feeling that izuku has compartmentalized his gay thoughts by locking it away like āok well sure Iām gay, but Iām only gay for kacchan and pffft THATS never happening so yay gay crisis advertedā and now kacchan is coming to him with big wet heart eyes like āhey Izuku Iām DEFINITELY in love with you btwā and cuts to Izuku shrieking and scrambling for the door
How the gentle wind, beckons through the leaves~
it was 9 chapters and aside from horrified (which i was), i was also embarrased i read those chapters outloud to friends
MHA ch 424 spoilers
The fact that Katsuki had been imagining a future with Izuku and then is gutted when he finds out Izukuās quirkless again is making me clinically insane
Katsuki, when he finds out he might never regain use of his arm again: fuck that shit! Iāll be the best at rehab!!
Katsuki, when he finds out Izuku doesnāt have his quirk anymore: *crying, sobbing, throwing up* I guess I just thought..weād be competingā¦and Iād be on your heels..for the rest of our lives :(((
And then you have Deku, sweating bullets in his hospital bed bc heās never seen Kacchan cry like this before: Um! I uhā¦I still got that ember for now!!!
Deku, desperately rationalizing: Being all banged up must be making Kacchan emotionally vulnerableā¦yeah, thatās it
As if Katsuki Bakugouās dying words werenāt āIzuku..can I still catch up to you?ā
Horikoshi pls let them hug, Iām begging you šš

Hey! Saw your post about giving you prompts ^^ I hope itās not too bad (first time doing this in my life and Iām an anxious blond head so-)
The prompt is:
Midoriya Izuku + chronic pain (is this a headcanon? I donāt know whatās canon or not anymore) + AU where heās in a romantic with Katsuki/Shoto/both
I hope it is what you wanted! I know it is pretty simple but I didnāt want to go too overboard for my first prompt. Love your works š
Thanks sm for the prompt!! I recognize your user and i'm super flattered that you enjoy my stuff! Chronic pain Izuku is a great headcanon :)
Hope you like it <3
500 words | Deku + chronic pain + bktddk
āSo, whatās this?ā Uraraka asks, with the air of someone who knows exactly what this is but wants to force Izuku through the mortifying ordeal of explaining it anyway.Ā
Izuku cringes and closes his eyes.Ā
Todoroki, immune to embarrassment, says, āWeāre massaging Midoriyaās arms.ā
Kacchan, immune to social pressure, doesnāt even bother to respond.Ā
Izuku, caught between two very warm, very close bodies, alternates between melting at the gentle way they knead out the pain from his aching muscles and fidgeting nervously.Ā
āWhile practically in his lap?ā Uraraka presses. āBoth of you?ā
And Kacchan and Todoroki do both have a leg tossed over Izukuās.Ā
For leverage.Ā Obviously.Ā
Izuku peeks open one eye, trying to psychically beg Uraraka to stop asking questions and just let him have this.Ā
āYouāre overworking yourself,ā Kacchan mutters, displeased and using his quirk to massage a particularly sore finger joint.Ā
They're practically holding hands.
āUh huh,ā Izuku responds intelligently.Ā
āDumbfuck,ā Kacchan chastises, flicking his temple. āListen to me.ā
Izuku draws in a sharp breath as Todorokiās chin comes to rest gently on his other shoulder.Ā
āHeās right, you know.ā
āDonātā¦ā Izuku starts, falling silent when Todorokiās thumb presses distractingly against Izukuās palm.Ā
Then Kacchanās temple falls carefully against Izukuās, breath warm across his cheek, and Izuku tries his best to remember the rest of his sentence.Ā
āDonātā¦umā¦inflate his ego, Todoroki-kun.āĀ
Kacchan uses his head to press the three of them closer together, less gently than before, knocking Izuku's skull into Todorokiās. Three peas in a pod.Ā
āI donāt get ego-stroking privileges?āĀ Ā
Izuku laughs nervously.Ā
āNo?ā
Todoroki hums.Ā
āI think Midoriya is a little distracted at the moment.ā
Izuku shakes his head. āNot distracted,ā he promises. āJustā¦uh. I'm justā¦um...ā
āJust convinced you two havenāt been hitting on him all year,ā Uraraka finishes, voice a conspiratorial whisper, before moving away to the kitchen.Ā
Izuku canāt help the startled noise that escapes him when two pairs of soft lips press against his cheeks.Ā
āGet the message yet, nerd?āĀ Ā
Izuku pauses with an honest answer on his lips and swallows it back down, face growing hot, because if this is real (and all the signs suggested it was) then,Ā
āā¦no.ā
āNo?ā Todoroki repeats.
Izuku squeezes his eyes shut. Nervously, he mumbles, āMight have to make it clearer.ā
His little stunt is rewarded with a pleased rumble from Kacchan- now nosing at his temple, lips skating achingly close to Izuku's skin in a not-quite kiss- and Todoroki sliding further onto Izukuās lap.
Theyāre both still massaging his arms.Ā Izuku hasn't been thinking about the pain for quite a while, though.Ā
āI donāt know how we could be clearer,ā Todoroki says and the heat and the closeness and the genuine concern for his well being must be melting Izukuās brain because he blurts out,Ā
āKiss me.ā
Itās worth it, though, for the way they dip down and finally give him what heās been dreaming about. Ten times sweeter than any whispered, late-night wish.Ā
"But don't go thinking you call the shots, nerd."
Iām taking the gardener approach for this month and honestly itās been a little strange to just type away with no clear idea of what my plot is but that also makes it kind of fun. If I start to get bored with things I can just take it in a totally new direction
As far as WC I am waaay behind the challenge but Iāve also had a lot going on lately so Iām not too upset about it. Iām still writing more for this WIP than I would have otherwise
Welcome to Wednesday, folks!
Todayās question: for your March WIP(s) are you taking more of an architect or a gardener approach?
An architect is someone who tends to plan their stories out before writing them, while a gardener usually focuses on cultivating their characters and letting a story grow from that
Also, now that weāre 12 days into this challenge how are you all feeling? Excited to keep working towards your WC goals or nervous about it? (And feel free to share your current word counts!)
All of the progress that you make this month are words that didnāt exist before so I hope you can feel proud of the time and energy youāve put in so far!!
Happy writing :)

found an iori-centric i7 wip in my files today that i'd like to finish up. id love to post what i have now but there's no good place to chop it into two parts so here's a snippet instead! the fic is called let it sink in
iori/riku pre-slash, self-discovery, angst & hurt/comfort
Iori ran his finger along the thin skin beside his nail bed, tempted to pick at it but far too restrained to give into the impulse. āMeeting Yuki-san helped you figure out who you were?ā Was that just the alcohol talking?Ā Iori had been under the impression that those sorts of answers could only come from some secret place inside. One that Iori was still struggling to gain access to.Ā āMhmm!ā Momo-san agreed brightly. āHe was just soā¦ā he sighed wistfully, rocking up onto his toes for a moment before settling back onto his heels and staring up at the moon. āAnd then I kept coming back. And back. And back. To see him and Ban-san. Like he was drawing me in.ā Iori gently bit the inside of his cheek. āThat soundsā¦familiar,ā he admitted.Ā Momo-san grinned brightly, excitedly leaning closer to Iori. āI thought so!ā Iori could smell the alcohol on his breath and took a subtle step back.Ā āItās the same for you and Riku, right?ā Momo-sanās expectant gaze shimmered despite the wan lighting, oddly intense, and Iori turned his gaze to the moon to avoid meeting it.Ā Iori wasnāt drunk but Momo-san was, so⦠āI think so,ā Iori murmured softly. āItāsā¦I feel,ā he tried, unsure how to end the sentence. Iori looked down towards his tightly clasped hands. āItās weird,ā he settled on.Ā A complete non-answer if Ioriās ever heard one, but that was all Iori seemed to have lately and Momo-san supposedly had the key to his own lockbox so maybe Iori could learn something if the man simply talked long enough.Ā Ā
