Sunny Milk's Nice, Ponderous, Friend-filled Day

For the Ni-yousei plus Bakaneko, Sunny Child was the only one having a good dayof the three. At least, she considered herself to be the happy one what with the other two sniping at one another.

They were fighting because that’s what people did when they were waiting. Okay, not really, but as soon as they had stopped and the silence had gone on a bit too long, Chen had did something, Star got snippy, and then they were yelling.

So people fought when they were waiting for somethin...

Maka Meets Korra

Bandages? There were still some, but always better to have extra. Check.

Muscle Ointment? Bolin and Toza went through it like Pabu went through jerky. Definite check.

Vegetables? Cabbage looked a bit wilted, but lots of carrots and Bok Choy, so Bolin was going to eat something vaguely healthy even if it was stir-fried. Check.

Meat? Old Man Gin caught extra eel-otter when he went out, and had given away some for free. Unexpected bonus. They needed more protein anyhow. Check.<...

Calling Out the Professor (ORIGINAL)

“And that, class…” the professor concluded, “…is why humanity is believed to be the most peaceful, reasonable, cooperative, and overall, docile known species in the cosmos. Any questions?” You, the only human in the class, raised your hand.

Big Fiasco For Little China

Oh, this was a problem. Why hadn’t Meiling sensed the Feline invasion!? Maybe she would have to stop relying solely on her Qi sense, but… it was so much easier to just use it! Maybe she would have to find a different way of detecting things. Patrolling every so often or asking Madame Patchouli to help set up a warding thing. What were those things called in the Outside World? Security Cameras or something? Yeah, that sounded good. See everything around the Mansion without actually having ...

The Liminal Space of a Cliff

Standing on the cliff’s edge,
I see the rim of the bay
eclipse and cage that slowly burning horizon.
There’s so many paths one could take above the ocean to that horizon,
but in not choosing one,
I will only have only one path to follow below.

Distance seems like such an illusion here on this cliff.
A ship floating so far out
looks like a toy I can grab with a scant stretch,
a strange and dizzying trick of perspective.
An illusion that resembles a choice s...

The Rainbow Gatekeeper's Colorful Daily Life

Be it the West, be it the East, be the species Occident or Orient, dragons have the same love of that succulent sin of sloth. Dragons loved to sleep, especially near their treasure.

For Hong Meiling, Colorful Rainbow Gatekeeper, she was no different. Even if she was not quite a dragon in body, she was most definitely a dragon in soul, so the gatekeeper of the Scarlet Devil Mansion was currently lightly dozing in front of the gate, head nodding up and down with her rhythmic breathing, bl...

A Charlatan's Soliloquy to Dead Deities

Look at me now,

The Traveling Talespinner,

The Parable’s Prologue,

The Charlatan of Stories,

Look at me standing here now,

Looking over the graves of gods.


Look around.

your palace in the sky has been pulled down to earth,

Golden walls and silver steps burnt and charred.

What few remnants left will be taken and remade into better usage.


Your corpses lay strewn around.

Even in death, your bodies dwarf us,...

Episode 6: Memories of Makai

Tomorrow is ephemeral, yesterday is already gone. Do not ask about today. It’s busy being born and it’s dying as soon as it’s done with that bit.

Gensokyo Welcomes You.

As colorful fall begins to descend into whitest winter, I am reminded of a life lived. It started out as a good one, but ended… less than favorable. I cannot bring myself to regret that end anymore. I used to once upon a beginning, but what happened happened, and Makai has...

A Drive Along the Cliffside V2

There’s a car driving along a long, flat freeway.

It’s boring.

It’s gray.

And it’s blocked off by great concrete walls on either side.

Traffic is in that sweet spot of just right,

Enough cars to know that one is not alone,

Not enough to really trap one in place.

There’s a boy sitting in the passenger seat,.

The boy is quiet,.

The boy is waiting, .

The boy is bracing.

There’s a woman in the driver seat.

A Drive Along the Cliffside

Sitting in our car, I’m waiting for it to drop.

It’s just me and my mother, alone in this metal cart

Driving along the long, flat road from school to home,

With that slip of paper in the back,

Telling and foretelling my failures that came and to come.


She starts it.

She always does.

It’s loud and it hurts my ears

And when I flinch,

There’s a slap of punctuation to refocus,

And then it’s just more screams.

I Read this Thinly Veiled Touhou Fanfiction Aloud in Class & My Teacher Liked It!

AN: I wrote a flash fiction for class. Naturally, I wrote fanfiction of Kaguya/Mokou. My teacher liked it when I read it aloud to class. I am so lucky he's so cool with that, but he stopped me before I got to the murder/suicide bit.

My tastes in romance are fucking whack. Anyways, this is just the rough draft. I'm goign to be beefing it up later and publishing it as a strange... parallax to AGT. It can be read as a standalone though.

Enjoy this fiction.

FOUR BEASTS WUXIA Chapter 1 V3

AN: What follows is the very rough first draft of a story idea. IN this version, Luna is part of a world where there a re four nations that live on top of and within huge versions of the Four Auspicious Beasts. It's an idea I have drafted intensely and would love to build upon.

I discarded this and several other iterations (At least three total!) when I realized I was trying to cram way too much into one thing. I would like to revisit the Four Beasts nation, but worldbuilding has always...

Scraps

Every month, I have a large number of scraps that I leave in my folders so that I may harvest ideas and lines from. It's an awful lot of them, and some of these scraps may even be full chapters, but I do not have the time nor energy to turn such almost-chapters into full-chapters or stories.

Would you guys be interested in seeing them regardless? I'll post google doc links that would be view only since they're really just outlines and dialogues and planning bits that I have since left f...

Stuck at Lake Finagle, Waiting on Camp Murphy

Standing on the side of a lake, two adults, barely out of teenagerhood, stood and watched, keeping their backs to the slightly smoking bus. The logic was if the two didn’t look at the disaster, the problem did not exist.

Object permanence disproved that theory immediately and constantly, but for Lifeguard Kevin and Future-Camp-Assistant-Director Carla, looking away was as good a way to deny that the two had a problem if any. So long as the children weren’t actively murdering one ano...

Glitter and Gold Chapter 2

Chapter 2

I think I may have done a faux pas somewhere. As I grabbed my lunch, my skin crawled from the stares of all the students in the cafeteria. Ostensibly only half the school was here, seeing as this lunch period was dedicated for only 1st and 2nd years, but it felt like the entire school and Gods were judging me.

What for, I do not know, but I was going to join my lunch group and ignore the whispers.

The typical lunch table of the mess hall was meant for four, just en...

Glitter and Gold (RWBY Jaune Reimagining)

Chapter 1

Diligently taking notes, I ignored the fact that I had no idea what was going on and simply focused on following the lecture. Dr. Oobleck, a green-haired hyperactive teacher of a man, was currently going over the syllabus.

...Or he was, but now he’s going over how discrimination against the Faunus would not be tolerated. Obviously! Go, Prof! Also, question, genuine question, why would anyone want to bully or be assholes to the animal waifus and husbandos!?

Episode 5: Tsukimi

Once upon a time, there was no moon nor stars in the sky. Once upon a time, there was no one here to search for them. Once upon a time ended a long time ago.

Merry Tsukimi! Happy Tsukimi! !I do not know what the greeting is, but a good Tsukimi to all of you! It’s the moon-viewing festival and I’ll be quite honest, I have no idea what that is. I mean, I have heard about it in my travels, but this will be my first time doing one! View Post

Chen's Strange Encounter

Leaping from branch to branch in the Forest of Magic, Chen was feeling something unfamiliar to most felines as she followed the trail of destruction her cats had left behind. It was something humans and weaker beings felt… Started with an S. Shame?

Strangely enough, Yakumo Chen, Shikigami of the Shikigami of the Yokai of Boundaries, was feeling shame. Stumbling onto the wrecked campsite, Chen winced as she saw the limp body of the human. While it was to be expected for a huma...

The Aki's Autumnal Morning

Along the road going from the Forest of Magic to the Human Village, a tent was being set up. Two sisters, dressed in red and orange attire, were hard at work setting up their sweet potato stand. Open year-round, the Aki sisters found that their best sales period was during the fall and winter seasons, so they were opening earlier than usual.

As to why the two Goddesses were running a business? Money.

Gods and Yokai never truly needed human things like money and goods, depending on...

Luna Child Makes a First Impression!

This was Luna Child’s first time being by herself.

That wasn’t technically true. There was a period before fairies had names and identities that she could vaguely remember, back when all fairies were little bit more than blobs of intent and concept. Then there was that period of time where the San-Yousei didn’t exist like it did now. Sun, moon, and stars would always coalesce into light, but that union wasn’t always peaceful.

She had to admit, she liked the current present...

Rumia's Yakitori Outing

Sitting at the yokai-run yakitori stand, Rumia, Youkai of the Dusk, was bored, listening to the owner’s rambling. Mystia Lorelei loved talking, rambling on about things. From the latest gossip to insights both useless and useful, the night sparrow loved talking. The unkind would say she loved the sound of her own voice, but Rumia felt that the  cook was simply lonely.

She could get that. Before the Voice, she wouldn’t have though. She would have just left, gone to do something ...

I saw a caravel with the figurehead of a lamb in port and sighed.

As trite as it may seem to say, I knew that the time had come.

It felt vaguely disappointing, seeing the Going Merry in port. Really felt like there should have been more aplomb or something. A resounding shake of the world, an uptur...
