Bio

Sair | they/them | Canada | adult
Find me on twitter | tumblr | bluesky
I write Tales of and Yugioh: DM fic specializing in character studies, psychological horror, and letting our faves grieve/cope/process when canon won't. Sometimes all of the above, sometimes other fandoms here and there.
I work the night shift and the majority of my reading and writing gets done on my phone at work.
Philosophy of a Knife is my ongoing project, but even if updates are sparse, don't worry - it's NOT abandoned! I'm just very slow and have been trying to finish up old WIPs!
Worth noting that in addition to writing I also love beta reading so if you'd like me to take a look at your stuff just hit me up at the aforementioned links.
Pseuds: crackedmary for silly things, sairnecrophades for anything rated E.

Guest comments are off on all my works, I write in Canadian English (a mix of American and British) so you'll see that dreaded "u" in favourite/colour/etc, you have my blanket permission to make fanart/translations/podfics so long as you link it to me, and I stink at responding to comments because my life is crazy but I promise I appreciate everyone's feedback and desire to read my work.

Legally married to SuikaShoujo and proud mentor to SystematicAphrodite - if you like my stuff you'll like theirs. You can also find my fic recs in my bookmarks.

Make sure you slam that subscribe button if you want to see more, I promise it's coming.

UPDATE AS OF OCT 2025: I broke my finger and I'm working on grad school apps, so activity will be sparse for a bit. Will be back asap!
