Fandom: Fire Emblem Awakening
Title: A Rogue Friend Is a Wild Beast (2022-)
(formerly known as "future past AU but its gayer and then it just keeps on going")
※ ongoing, 5 parts
Characters: Morgan ♂, Inigo, Owain, Cynthia, Lucina (supporting cast: the rest of the kids)
Pairings: primarily Owain/Morgan, various permutations of Cynthia/Inigo/Owain/Morgan
Summary: Owain didn’t understand what special hold Grima had over Morgan, but whatever it was, it wasn’t absolute.
A Morgan-centric Future Past AU that asks the hard-hitting questions like "what could have led Morgan to be so devoted to Grima and betray his friends?" and "what if Owain was willing to bet his life that Morgan's not really evil?" and "what if I made Morgan really sad?" and, most importantly: "what if they all held hands?"
Other: Future Past AU where they get no assistance from the Outrealms and everything is solved with the power of gay thoughts, girl Morgan is absent from this AU for logistical reasons, Canon-Typical Parental Angst, transmasc Morgan, Morgan has 2 hands and they were both made for holding
Notes: Less a long-form fic, more a collection of vignettes that I write because they make my brain feel good, so they're more like cleaned up sketches than polished pieces. I was :( about the relative dearth of Owain/boy Morgan content and then I also had a fun idea for a really gay scene while playing Future Past, so I wrote it. And then I just kind of kept writing and thinking about what might have happened to put Morgan in the position he's in, and now here I am, with a whole-ass "well, what if they tried to save Morgan?" AU on my hands, marinating in all the juicy drama. These are not being written in any particular order, but they're listed in the intended reading order.
Shoutout to Tama for their encouragement while I have worked on this fic!! Thank you Tama!!!!
※ Each story is titled after a song from another Fire Emblem game, with a link to the track. Highly recommend listening to the music while you read for the Maximum Experience

Fandom: BanG Dream!, Scum Villain's Self-Saving System
Title: Live at the Mile High Club! (2020-)
※ ongoing, 14 chapters
Ships: Shang Qinghua/Shen Yuan
Characters: Shang Qinghua, Shen Yuan, Luo Binghe, Mobei Jun, Sha Hualing, Meiyin, Six Balls, Marina Tsukishima, Kasumi Toyama, Arisa Ichigaya, Himari Uehara, Linguang Jun, token appearances by the rest of Poppin'Party, Afterglow, and Hello, Happy World!
Summary: Shang Qinghua has been releasing music as Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky for years, drawing both praise and ire all around, but when she's left in charge of a failing live house, she has no choice but to dig the place out of debt before it pulls her under with it. Popular music blogger Shen Yuan seems to draw a crowd just by being there, so Shang Qinghua allows (begs) (bribes) her to come to performances in the hopes of attracting more bands to play. She just has to make sure that Shen Yuan doesn't find out that Shang Qinghua is also her favorite subject for vehement criticism. And keep up with the prolific output Airplane's fans are used to. And prevent the Mile High Club from toppling over into destitution and taking her with it,
Other: slow burn, modern AU, gender AU (everyone here is girls), OC who exists solely to demonstrate that no one who works for sqh respects her, AU where instead of shitty webnovels airplane produces shitty electronic music at a breakneck pace and all of her music videos are steeped in lore about her extensive cast of OCs
Notes: like all good things in life, this started out as a joke and then i got invested. thank you to harry without whom this AU would not exist, and pell & max for workshopping the name of sqh's live house
