  1. Summary

    This is a story that takes place years in the lake territories many years after the current series, using entirely my own original fan characters. The Clans are still mostly similar in structure to the books, but I make an effort to write about more LGBT characters, polyamory, disabled characters, and wholesome friendships. They are listed in roughly recommended reading order, but all stories are written to work as standalones unless otherwise specified.

  2. Summary

    A modern take using original characters in Lyra's world from the His Dark Materials series. Explores themes relating to identity, mental health, and how the heck do you get from place to place when your daemon is a settled draft horse and can't fit in the backseat of a car, anyways?

    Summary

    After his best friend dies in a tragic workplace accident, Apollo is desperate for an escape. He takes a sabbatical from his law job, packs up his apartment, and moves to his foster father’s old abandoned farm in Stardew Valley. What he’s looking for is a change of scenery, a project he can sink his teeth into to distract himself from the suffocating weight of Clay’s loss. What he finds is Trucy Wright, his teenage neighbour hellbent on inserting herself into his life, and Klavier Gavin, a famous musician who knows exactly what it’s like to want to hide from your problems.

    Apollo doesn’t need friends and he certainly doesn’t need a boyfriend. If he doesn’t let anyone get close, then he won’t get hurt again when they inevitably leave him behind. Besides, he only intends to stay on the farm for a couple of seasons anyway. Why allow himself to get attached to people he’s only going to lose? Why fall for Klavier when he’s only going to break his heart?

    However, as Apollo will soon learn, time really does heal all wounds, and love has a way of taking root whether you want it to or not.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    As Mr. Wright pocketed the chip and started prattling on about how they were going to attach the door to the rest of the metal frame, all Apollo could think about was this:
    With Nahyuta moving to Khura’in, who in Zuzu City would help him build a greenhouse?

    This is so soft and cozy but also damn you can really feel the space where Clay should have been throughout the whole thing

    Summary

    Trucy searches his face. It’s true that since she’s arrived, Apollo has seemed brighter; stronger, healthier, smiling and self-assured. But here on the mountain, surrounded by the crickets and the foolish moths and Datz’s struggling herb garden, he just looks tired. And sure, it’s 1AM, but it seems deeper than that—a bone-deep sort of tiredness she recognizes from last Christmas, when Apollo was sickly and depressed and barely able to get out of bed.

    Some things never leave you. Trucy knows that well; there’s a hole in her own heart that she hasn’t ever been able to fill, no matter how much she tries.

    --
    Or: A year after Apollo moves to Khura'in, his baby sister pays him a visit. This is Trucy Wright, on growing up, wasting time, and telling your brother you love him, maybe not in that order.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    She wishes she could shrink the Pacific, take the map in her hands and fold it over on itself so they could be neighbors, so Apollo’s great big bleeding heart wouldn’t be stretched so thin across thousands of miles. She wishes she could turn back the clock and redo their whole lives, close this distance between them and make up for wasted time, but there’s no going back to a time that never existed; an idyllic one, where everything was perfect and they were always together, but an impossible one, because Trucy’s very existence hinges upon Apollo’s father dying and Apollo going missing and Thalassa returning home.

    This story is ostensibly about trucy but in actuality it's about me when I was 18 and about to graduate high school. I relate to her fear and anguish so much it hurts

    Summary

    content warnings: suicidal ideation (seriously that's like the whole piece), fatphobia, vomiting, implied disordered eating, implied physical abuse

    Through indistinct space-time shenanigans, Chief Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth's twenty-year-old self shows up at his door--characteristically self-loathing, critically unmedicated, and lacking the one kernel of truth that he needs to not be perpetually furious at the world. Before Edgeworth can even start figuring out how to get rid of him, he has to figure out how to be in a room with his worst self without one or both of them emerging with a black eye.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Edgeworth almost laughs. He manages to suppress it into a smile that's only slightly mean-spirited. "The work of ensuring that each and every criminal in the world is proven guilty? Is that what you mean?"
    His younger self either fails to identify the sarcasm in his tone, or blasts right by it in his agitation. His chest is beginning to rise and fall erratically. "Precisely."
    "Yes, well," Edgeworth says, letting his smile grow more overtly condescending. "I don't put very much stock into that sort of thinking anymore."

    what if we were a mirror of what we hated most about ourselves... Because I am you and you are me.... This hurts and it's so good

    Summary

    “Why not?” Edgeworth shrugs. “It’s only natural that I’ll be here to help you. We are…”
    He trails off, and there’s a moment where his and Phoenix’s eyes meet. Phoenix raises an eyebrow at him – asking the silent question that has rested between them for years.
    “…Friends,” Edgeworth curtly finishes his sentence, his eyes flicking away. “Friends help each other, don’t they?”
    -------
    For the past several years, Phoenix and Miles have grown to care very deeply about each other - although, they don’t tend to state their feelings out loud. In the seven years that Phoenix is disbarred, Miles helps him get his badge back. He even helps to raise Phoenix’s new daughter, Trucy, as if she were Miles’s own daughter as well. He and Phoenix never define their relationship aloud, but it’s clear that they are very close.

    Not too long after Phoenix finally gets his badge back, he and Trucy are forced to move out of their apartment. Miles offers that they stay with him. After all, he and Phoenix are… very close.

    Or: Miles Edgeworth is on the ace/aro spectrum and is deeply in love with Phoenix Wright.

    (Told with two plotlines, one post-SoJ and one during the 7 year gap.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “I have the ‘so much more’ that I used to want so badly – the… the domestic things. So because of that, it’s less of a crush and more like… I just love him. Y’know?”
    Maya takes a deep breath, steepling her hands. “Yes, Nick. I do understand. What I’m asking is when are you going to actually tell him that?!”
    Phoenix raises an eyebrow. “I mean, I have told him.”

    Forever in my queerplatonic narumitsu era ❤️❤️❤️❤️ they are everything to me!!!

    Now that Klavier’s touring lifestyle has ended he’s moved on to a new goal in life; learning the basic life skill of cooking. Only, he seems to have an ulterior motive besides wanting to make delicious food. Apollo shouldn’t, but he can’t help but be curious about what exactly that motive is.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Klavier tilted his head, ponytail sliding over his shoulder as he repeated, “I would like to cook for you when I better learn how to.”
    “Ah.” Apollo glanced down at the take out. If not for whatever all this weirdness that had just happened, he would have said something about how he didn’t have to; they could just do this again. But, whatever this was was something to Klavier, so he instead answered with a non committed, “Sure, why not.”

    Waaaaah this was so sweet and fluffy,,, your honor I love them
