When He's Not Good Enough For Your Friend But You Have To Keep Your Mouth Shut And Hope That You're Not

A quick Shizune meme bc a woman who breathes out poison fogs and parallels fucking Kabuto cannot be anything other than unhinged

SatoShoko Trash Heap

SatoShoko is the first JJK ship I ever wrote for. It was sort of an accident - I have a v. kind reader who was into the series, and I wanted to write about a character that they like. Shoko was in the first few episodes and her laidback energy is an excellent foil to Satoru's bananas behavior, and that was enough, apparently.

Please note the rating at the end of the description. All adult situations depicted are between consenting adults. There is also drug use, mental health issues, and violence in a few of the stories. Please mind the tags of each story - I go out of my way to ensure that readers know what they are getting into.

And now, the stories:

Never to be disassociated from the dark: Love means not wanting to be without each other. M.

Shiny Pink Bubblegum Psychopathic Sweetheart: Making it real far. M.

Hard Candy and Sour Hearts: The world sucks, but at least Shoko and Satoru have each other. E.

Terrible, No Good, Awful: Shoko is left with the kids for ten days. Chicken pox strikes, and suddenly, those ten days turn into a trial. T.

Listen I love you joy is coming: Shoko tells Satoru about the woman crying uncontrollably in the next stall. E.

Bridges: Satoru and Shoko’s relationship is full of the gaps that they think others have left behind. E.

And the SatoShoko BROTP:

The Spins: Shoko goes out of her way to avoid talking about her life; Satoru goes out of his way to get her to talk about it. T.

Displacement: For all of his strength, Satoru can’t protect people from themselves (nor does he try). M.

This Woman’s Work, coming January 2019 at Drawn and Quarterly. 

Hi I read Near to the Wild Heart by Clarice Lispector because of your fic Roses in a Flatbed lol and I loved it! Both the book and the fic :) Just wondering if you have any other book recs

Hi! Thank you for reading one of my oldest stories, and I am honored that it inspired you to pick up Clarice! I love her very much. I’ve read and enjoyed quite a few of her books—The Hour of the Star, Agua Viva, The Passion According to G.H., A Breath of Life, The Apprenticeship or the Book of Pleasures—and I am working my way through Too Much of Life. All the above books I recommend. 

Now, for other books: I both love and dread giving recommendations, because I care too much about what my tastes say about me, and I also struggle to curb my impulse to list every book I have remotely liked in recent memory. 

Below are my list of recommendations, in no particular order. What they all have in common is that they are written by women, and they all changed my brain chemistry for the better. 

Northwood: A Novella by Maryse Meijer 

This Woman’s Work by Julie Delporte

Walking Through Clear Water in a Pool Painted Black by Cookie Mueller 

Cursed Bunny by Bora Chung

The Pisces by Melissa Broder 

We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson

I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman

Winter in Sokcho by Elisa Shua Dusapin

The Ballad of the Sad Cafe by Carson McCullers  

A few of these books have content that could be upsetting, so check Storygraph or Goodreads before taking them out at the library or purchasing. Thanks for dropping by and happy reading! 

I am dead.

I am completely normal about this

my mood. the updates:

Lovesickess: E, Naruto, Older jounin being messy as hell.

wholly mad and half undressed: E, xxxHolic/TRC, KuroYuko.

for sure: E, Rurouni Kenshin, SanoMeg.

upcoming projects

wasteland, baby!'s final chapters (in which taichi and yamato navigate the end of the world) are baking in the oven as we speak, but I also hope that by throwing the rest of this list into the world, y'all can hold my feet to the fire if I don't deliver:

over and over (becoming, become): mimi deals with the fallout when a long-held secret unleashes public mayhem after taichi stupidly opens his mouth on live television. or, how you never forget your first.

harrowed, hallowed (stone, stone): painting mfa student sora and engineering phd candidate yamato struggle to understand who they are, much less who they might be to each other.

something in the orange (tells me we're not done): after taichi, koushiro and yamato slowly learn how to become friends, only to unexpectedly become something more.

salted: after a scathing review, newly minted chef daisuke vows revenge on unbothered food critic takeru. but what's that they say, about the best laid plans?

butterflies in august: a tribute to the best little fandom corner, coming soon, I really, really promise.

IM YELLING

Shizune and ASUMA have GOT to be another fav rarepair

Same with Tenten and Sai 😭 YOUR FICS GOT ME

Tenten and Sai are literally a woman who just wants to be heard and a man who wants to listen. I think they’d be so cute. 

Asuma and Shizune would be high-strung and laidback in compatible ways. I could see them being disappointed and disillusioned together on the road with a spiralling Tsunade in the background. I literally lay in bed listening to “Chemtrails over the Country Club” and “You’re in the wind, I’m in the water/Nobody’s son, nobody’s daughter” and “Washing my hair, doing the laundry/Late-night TV, I want you only” are so them lol.

Wow, I am so sorry for the longwinded response. I am but an amalgamation of sad girl memes, Lana Del Rey and Ethel Cain songs, and literary references. You are too kind to me! Thank you for reading my stories! 

they’re literally the same i’m gonna cry 🥺
