About

Just your average exhausted millenial.
Lover of bully breeds, pasta, and hot fictional characters.
I was lucky enough to land the sort of job that allows me to pursue my passion projects -- everything from art, to gaming, to working on my first visual novel (with a slowly growing team of fantastic individuals), to the reason you're probably here: writing.
I've been writing fanfiction for ~20 years at this point and original fiction for even longer. I embrace the cringe and fully abide by the rule of doing whatever makes you happy as long as it hurts no one else in the process.
I love to write darker, dead dove themes, but when publishing, I am careful to tag them appropriately on Ao3. If you ignore the tags and continue -- that's entirely on you. You were warned. I might have turned the stove on, but I told you it was hot and not to touch it -- it's your fault if you end up burning your hand.

[JJK] Figure You Out Ao3 {o}(Gojo Satoru/Reader)
_{It’s been three years since you landed in Japan on vacation. After being welcomed by a curse chasing you down the street, you found yourself under the tutelage of Gojo Satoru. Once your education is complete, upon his request to continue your work as a sorcerer, you decide to stay in Tokyo. Working together and staying in the same building makes it hard to work through the crush you’d had since you met the eccentric sorcerer. Seemingly one-sided tension mounts to the point of a failed confrontation, the aftermath of which proves to be far different than anything you could have imagined.}

[AOT] AOT Kinktober Drabbles Ao3 {d}(Erwin Smith/Reader)
_{An ongoing series of drabbles involving AOT characters. Currenly crediting this prompt list. Worked on year round. Ship and potential trigger list will be updated as more are added.}

I'm going to try and keep this as a preview to some of my more worked on projects, but it is nowhere near a complete list at any given time. I have a LOT of WIPs.
I'm going to attempt to have at least the draft of the series complete or nearly complete before I start posting them, but I can make no promises.

[JJK] Untitled Figure You Out Sequel {s}(Gojo Satoru/Reader)
_{A follow up series to the one shot. A year has passed and new complications in your relationship with Gojo arise. Is a trip stateside to visit your family what makes or breaks whatever is going on between the two of you?}

[JJK] Atom Bombs and Hurricanes {s}(Gojo Satoru/Reader)
_{The weather in your tiny hometown has always been sporadic. When a hurricane spawns with no warning and no movement beyond mattering the village, the higher ups decide to finally investigate the matter. But even someone as competent as a grade one is unable to pinpoint the cause -- the cursed energy laying over the town in a thick fog is too strong for them to navigate. Enter Gojo Satoru and his six eyes -- only twenty and still figuring out how he can change Jujutsu society. He struggles to find the thread, plagued with sensory overload the moment he's even close to the town that only shows up on local maps. What he finds is a special grade that's managed to fly completely under the radar for years. Seeing as you're apparently unable to control your still growing powers, he's forced to give you an ultimatum: come with him back to Tokyo where he can train you or face execution.}

[JJK] Change {s}(Gojo Satoru/Reader)
_{HEAVILY inspired by Sylus/MC from LaDs. Too much time passes between each six eyes to question things too deeply, just assuming that all the passed down knowledge among the rarely born Gojo were all written records. Instead, Satoru's forced to live life over and over, fighting and dying for a world that doesn't understand or appreciate him. The only thing that makes it all worth it is that each life time gets him closer to his happy ending with the woman whose soul is intertwined with his -- even if she never remembers any of it.}

[JJK] Untitled A/B/O Oneshot {o}(Gojo Satoru/Reader)
_{You're forced to keep your status as an Omega a secret with an unprecedented rank for one: Semi-First Grade. You've made it a point to avoid Alphas for most of your cycle -- especially Gojo and his fine-tuned senses. A mission goes sideways and he's sent to help save your skin. You know that he knows -- but while you're too scared to bring it up, he's having a blast with watching you squirm. He sets out to see how long you'll last in this game of chicken where he puts you in increasingly precarious positions to try and bait out your confession -- and just maybe beg to get knotted by the strongest when you do.}

[JJK] Blueberry Lemonade {o}(Gojo Satoru/Reader)
_{After being asked to help choose which limited edition drink is worth trying at a beach kiosk by a strange white haired man, you find yourself in a summer romance that refuses to end even as the seasons change.}

[JJK] The Day After {o}(Gojo Satoru/Reader) #mental health crisis #disability/chronic pain caused by injury
_{Gojo survived his showdown against Sukuna -- but at a cost he never agreed to. He's left with a broken body, disrupted cursed energy, and techniques he can no longer pull off. Stuck somewhere between trying to mend himself and adjust to life as someone normal, he's slowly losing his mind. You can't decide if your standing by his side makes it wore or better -- you're the reason he's like this now, after all. But as your guilt weighs heavy and his frustrations with his new life mount, can the pair of you ever find peace?}

[JJK] Probably {o}(Gojo Satoru/Reader//Nanami Kento/Reader) #postpartum depression
_{Since you met as children, you refused to just accept Satoru as better than you simply because of his innate technique. As you grow closer and end up a lot of firsts for the other, he refuses to accept that there could be anyone better for you than him -- even after you start a family with someone else.}

[JJK] Untitled sort-of-Nerdjo Fic {s}(Gojo Satoru/Reader) #mental health crisis
_{Nanami wasn't the only one so disillusioned with the Jujutsu world that he left it after graduation -- or even the first. Gojo escapes to academia where he is allowed to use his brilliance for more than solving spooky mysteries and quantifying the physics behind his technique. But between being in middle of pursuing another advanced degree, the never ending pressure from his clan and the higher ups to return, and having to still be witness to the havoc that curses bring, he begins to bow under the weight of it all. He takes what money he has and runs off to a little town in another country, where he meets another broken spirit who's just as desperately trying to hold the pieces together.}

[JJK] Like You Best {o}(Gojo Satoru/Reader) #dubcon (for aphrodisiac reasons)
_{Gojo comes to your rescue while you're fighting a cursed spirit at an abandoned love motel. You both get exposed to a nasty curse that's sending both your systems into overdrive. Sex Pollen/Fuck or Die. That's it. That's the plot.}

[JJK] Check Yes {o}(Gojo Satoru/Reader)
_{You're just trying to live your life -- and you're doing pretty well at it. You graduated school with top marks, you managed to get a decent position at a well known financial firm right out the gate, you're only a little addicted to caffeine. But one day, the only machine in your office building that carries your preferred coffee isn't cooperative. Enter an energetic, enigmatic man with white hair who's originally there to force a birthday celebration onto his former classmate. A brief happenstance meeting turns into a regular occurrence before snowballing into a relationship you're neither prepared for nor even think either of you could squeeze into your lives as more truths begin to come out about the man in a designer suit and strange connections that shows up in no internet searches.}

[JJK] Dead Walk {o}(Gojo Satoru/Reader) #noncon #excessive violence #torture
_{You couldn't be blamed for becoming a thief when your technique centered around stealth. He couldn't be blamed for hunting you down and taking back the ashes you stole from the Gojo estate -- even if it meant carving the tattooed sigils out of your back. You were good, but even you couldn't hide from the six eyes forever. (pred/prey go brrr)}

[JJK] Like Me {o}(Gojo Satoru/Reader)
_{No sorcery/curses//College Nerdjo/Fratjo (as the same guy) AU. With a mother who was arranged to be Satoru's nanny from before he was born, you really never had a life to yourself. Of course he always came first -- that was just life. After an offer you couldn't refuse, you enroll in the same expedited law program as the boy who remains the center of your entire world at the behest of his parents to help him 'keep his head on straight.' Is your word and the repercussions of breaking it enough to keep you focused on your task, or will your mutual disinterest in your major and mounting jealousy lead to everything crumbling down?}

[JJK] Untitled Knight AU {o}(Gojo Satoru/Reader)
_{A man from the east has shown up in your kingdom, taking on any challenge and managing to succeed with seemingly little effort. Some call him a samurai, some a ronin, some just call him a philandering scoundrel and a bastard. But your father is impressed. As age wears on him and the chance of ever having a son looks less likely by the day, it would seem the kingdom's fate will fall to you. But with that impending responsibility comes a lot of danger -- which is how you ended up with the strange unbeatable man with white hair as your personal guard. Marriage offers, lies, and assassination attempts, oh my!}

[JJK] Half My Fault {o}(Nanami Kento/Reader)
_{In your monotonous misery as a salarywoman, even your love for Kento isn't enough to save your marriage. Unfortunately, working in the same building makes recovering all the more difficult.}

[JJK] Goodnight Moon {s}(Nanami Kento/Reader)
_{You're not exactly sure what's wrong with you -- instead of dreams, you witness life through other people in real time. The stipulation is that you have no control. You're forced to endure everything from engagements to dying every single time you fall asleep, all the emotions and physical sensations included. Tragedy puts you face to face with a boy you'd seen in one of your dreams before, and your recognition of him despite never meeting intrigues the young, disillusioned sorcerer. Years pass, bonds grow deeper. When curses conspire and the fate of so many people come to hang in the balance, are you as helpless as you are in your dreams or will your abilities be enough to turn the tide?}

[JJK] Vocabulary Lessons {o}(Nanami Kento/Reader) #past domestic violence mention
_{When a foreigner with a broken shoe bumps into him while chasing down the thief who stole her purse, Nanami has no idea the new path his life is now turning onto. A reprieve from the tedium during his years as a salaryman and ultimately the cause for his return to being a sorcerer, he would do anything to help give you the life he believes you deserve.}

[JJK] Warm Waves {o}(Nanami Kento/Reader)
_{The destruction at Shibuya on Halloween might as well have been the entire world falling apart for those who managed to survive it. Nanami, too injured to be part of the ensuing chaos of the games or to assist in the unsealing of the strongest, manages to pull through his injuries mostly in tact -- though, a near useless arm and a missing eye certainly take some adjustment. He's through fighting. A well deserved retirement comes with a catch: an former nurse turned assistant manager accompanying him to the beach he'd longed for for so many years. What was supposed to be a fresh start for the two of you away from the violent world of Jujutsu is a rocky road as you both adjust to your new peace and try to cope with mounting frustrations.}

[JJK/LaDs] Untitled Crossover {s}(Gojo Satoru/Reader+Sylus/Reader+Additional relationships TBD)
_{The news tried to downplay what was happening with the anomalous readings with the Deepspace Tunnel, but their broadcasts couldn't calm the population that was forced to watch as pieces of their world fell away. Of all the things you thought would happen as you stood with Sylus at the end of the world, two universes colliding certainly wasn't one of them.
(Is this an excuse to get angsty, sappy, and freaky with my light haired, pretty eyed faves? Plus a few others on the side? Maybe so. But if you were MC, you'd be a ho, too.)}

[AOT] North {o}(Levi Ackerman/Reader)
_{The war is over -- or at least the fighting outside of him is. Years ago, when he had been a fresh Scout himself, he'd been stranded due to a snowstorm in a trek beyond the then-still-standing Maria. Saved by a woman so isolated that she didn't even know what a titan was, he's stuck until the weather clears enough for the others to find him. Struggling with a chapter that hadn't ended neatly a decade ago and adjusting to his new disabilities, Levi is forced to make decisions about the future he has left.}

[AOT] Ship of Theseus {s}(Levi Ackerman/Reader)
_{Modern AU. You were trying -- you really were. But determination demands your independence, which is damn hard to accomplish in the modern age. Even your car couldn't give you a break. You're the fast track towards spiraling -- least until the intervention of your apartment's grumpy handyman (and his even weirder group of friends).}

[AOT] Ends of the Earth {s}(Levi Ackerman/Reader)
_{Yet another tale of growing up together in the underground. But an apparent betrayal and years apart makes it hard to work together when the whole world starts going mad. When there's more than just Ackerman blood at play, even the personal stakes ramp up fast. friends-to-lovers-to-enemies-to-strangers-to-reluctant-allies-to-lovers(again)}

[AOT] Linger {s}(Levi Ackerman/Reader)
_{Knight!AU. Your younger cousin Historia was the rightful queen -- a title you had little interest in. But until she had a child (which felt hard to come by, considering her not-so-secret affair with her favorite knight Ymir), you were the heir apparent. But it wasn't all bad -- your presence in the capital served her well to help guide her towards refinement you'd been groomed for living your entire life amongst nobility. As war comes to a close, and everyone returns home, you're forced to share breath with an infuriating, crude, perpetually-annoyed knight. He'd earned his title instead of having it bestowed by his blood and doesn't even seem particularly fond of it in the first place. But as you're saved from near tragedy sparked by shadows who grow bolder by the day, you just might hate him a little less.}

[AOT] Until the Morning {o}(Erwin Smith/Reader)
_{Modern AU. Dating apps suck. Even just trying to find a hookup who would spare more conversation than asking where to cum felt like an impossible task. But when you try and experience some chemistry the old fashioned way by hitting up a local bar, you get a message from a profile you had swiped right on before you deleted the app the last time. If it would be anyone, it would be a local professor that would be able to clock the niche poetry you'd snuck into your profile. It just so happens he's already at the same bar.}

[AOT] Faithful {o}(Erwin Smith/Reader) #toxic codependancy #postpartum psychosis #infanticide #child marriage
_{Everyone has a past -- yours was just best left buried. When the mourning was over, you try to start anew in the Scouts -- even if you were the oldest in your cadet class by a decade. This makes it hard for you to hide, especially from an eagle eyed commander.}

[AOT] Love the Way You Hate Me {o}(Miche Zacharius/Reader)
_{Modern AU. Who the hell gets married on a Monday? The same friend who neglected to tell you that her fiance had asked your ex to be his best man. You're stuck walking down the aisle next to a man you loathe. After a couple flutes of champagne, you tumble into the bad stereotype of the bridesmaids falling into bed with the groomsmen -- though, fighting as foreplay might spice up the cliche.}

Requests & Commissions

If you would like to submit a request or inquire about a commission, please check the form below. There's no guarantee I will complete requests or accept every commission, but if I do or am heavily inspired by your requested prompt, you will be credited.I technically can not accept commissions for fanfiction. Which is bullshit, imo -- why is there such a strong precedent allowing fanart for profit but not fanfiction? I know the history with the likes of Anne Rice -- I'm old, okay. But it doesn't change the fact that a written medium shouldn't be allowed the same monetization opportunities in the legal grey area of fandom as visual ones. No hate to fanartists -- I love you all. This is me frustrated at the system, not you guys. That said, if you discussed a specific request with me and just happened to drop a donation by way of something like Ko-Fi as I worked on it, then was there any wrongdoing done?Original fiction commission rates vary from 0.01-0.12 USD/word depending on a multitude of factors including, but not limited to word count, content, relationship with me, and potential deadlines. Please reach out to me and be prepared to have as many details as possible so I can give you an accurate estimate of cost. If it starts becoming an issue, I will create a comprehensive list of topics/themes I will not write -- but there's a lot that I'm open to. Don't hesitate to ask questions! (:
