helllloooo!! 1, 5, and 7 for the ask game? 🌸
hi hi!!
1 - describe your comfort zone — a typical you fic.
i like writing emotional hurt/comfort, or mild regular hurt/comfort. i also really love writing domestic fluff so it’s most non-sexual intimacy, caretaking sort of fics! i thrive off the angsty to fluffy pipeline.
i do also enjoy writing crack taken seriously but i haven’t really posted a lot of it cuz it’s usually my longer wips/projects! they still tend to skew a bit domestic but they’re notably less melancholic!
5 - share one of your strengths.
i think i’m pretty good at building mood? like a vibe or a feeling in a fic. i think tone is super important so i always try my best at it!
7 - share a snippet from one of your favorite pieces of prose you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.
ahhh this is such a hard question orz!
taken from a zhongchi fic, for context xiangling has just invited the pair to try some new recipes at the wanmin!
[“we will be there,” zhongli assures before the other man can inquire further, childe hums his assent. it will be worth the potential stomachache, zhongli decides when he watches the bloom of the girls smile before she bids them a hasty goodbye and runs down the street.
“i have never quite seen someone so devoted to their craft,” childe mused as he watched her go.
“i think it must be very fulfilling,” zhongli says in response, braving the gap between them and gently guiding childe down towards the harbour by his elbow.
“cooking?” he lets zhongli pull him along, happy it seems, to go along with zhongli’s every will.
“devotion.” zhongli corrects gently.
“ah,” there is the faintest pink across the the high peaks of childe’s cheeks, “devotion,”]
erm i was messing around with this fic in 2021-ish and i think it’s some of my most interesting dialogue yet! i really like how to conversation seems natural and also again, fits the kinda of slow, intimate mood i was going for with the fic, while also maintaining both characters’ voice? i often joke that zhongli possessed me as i was writing it because i haven’t quite managed to so simply nail a conversation!
technicalities aside i just really feel like it’s a piece that if i read in someone else’s fic would haunt me a little, so i’m super proud of it!

17, 18, and 28 for the asks!
hi nonny!
17 has been answered, here!
18 - do you use any tools like worksheets or outlines?
for longer works yes! if i’m building an au or a story with a wider, more directional plot then i’ll make an outline first with story beats and interesting points and work off that! for stuff that’s more a vibe than a real story i tend to just freehand it all!
28 - share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much.
ahhh okie this one’s gonna be tough orz
8ball (one piece) - i’m a big fan of their use of/style of narrative voice! i think it always lends itself really welly to the tone and story of their fics, while also reading super easy and super touchingly when the time strikes. writing style envy for sure! one of my fave fics of their’s is Further than Icarus.
envysparkler (batman) - recently got back into the fandom after literal years, and is spoiled by the exact brand of whump, hurt/comfort, gen fics i’ve been looking for. not to mention the fun headcanony, extras or small continuations they write based of their fics! hoarding their works like a huge, content dragon. current fave of their’s extensive collection is Cain.
Bgtea (genshin impact) - big big fan of their characterisation and how well it works across the multiple premises of their fics, as well as their consistence towards the bit. writing that make me laugh out loud as easily as it puts me in my feels, 11/10 would recommend. recommended reading from them would be Pulcinella’s Guide to PR and Marketing Stratergies - Idol Edition.
i could probably keep talking about my fave fic writers for hours and hours but i’ll leave it at this for now, :D

17 and 37 ? :3
hi hi!
17 - do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write the scenes out of order?
depends on the length of the fic! for more involved plots that i need to plan out it’s usually out of order due to impatience and excitements. for shorter, spur of the moment stuff usually i’ll go from start to finish for a first draft and then decide if the order is good while revising!
37 - talk about your current wips
i have an enstars non-idol/mundane au in it’s vvv early stages and most of the focus is going to be on disgruntled office worker rinne and his weird coworkers.
i also have a fire force mundane au/roommates au in the works, in which arthur and shinra cohabitate, mostly successfully to their own surprise and everyone else’s amusement.
surprisingly not fanfic related but i am currently world-building an oc centric, crack-taken-seriously, historical fantasy story, which is mostly just throwing all my fave genre tropes at a wall and seeing which ones stick!

hi!
I'm a user/a bit writer from ao3, and I reeeeeeally love your writing!!!
I'm obsessed with this story of yours - can i die happy?, and was wondering, is it possible for me to get a permission for translation of the work into ukrainian/russian?
it's totally cool if you don't feel like having your works translated! then consider this as my message of appreciation and gratitude for such a touching piece of writing 🥺
hi! sorry for such a late reply i didn’t get a notification for this ask orz!
i’m fine with you translating it! idk exactly how that would work on ao3 but when you’re done please send me the link so i can add it to my fic!
honoured that you think my writing is good enough for a translation ! and sorry again for taking so long to get back to you! ❤️

hey!! for a request, i was thinking abt a prompt with kugisaki and fushiguro? maybe something where kugisaki likes itadori and so does fushiguro. kugisaki has kept it to herself but one day fushi confides in kugisaki about it, not knowing she likes itadori too... 👀
anon, i'm sorry this took an age, but it's here and it's way more than the drabble i'd planned it OTL
.
“Ah, Fushiguro-san, please take a seat for me.” Nobara begins, pushing up a pair of, fake, square glasses up her nose.
“This…” Megumi pauses at the entryway, “This is my room?”
“Stalling will get you nowhere, my dear,” Nobara continues, shifting where she’s perched in the desk chair she stole from Yuuji’s room.
“Right,” Megumi says as he wanders towards his own chair, pulled out from where it was tucked by his desk this morning and now in the centre of the room facing Nobara.
They sit in a few moments of silence. Nobara adjusts what seems to be her iPad on her lap a few times and Megumi tries to figure out if he she picked the lock for his bedroom door or the sliding window.
“So,” Nobara finally says and he looks up at her. “What seems to be the issue?”
“What.” Megumi parrots.
“The issue.” Nobara insists.
“What issue?”
Nobara clucks her tongue, “Fushiguro? Denial won’t help us solve the problem. I put on my professional pencil skirt for this and everything.”
“Thank you?” Megumi says blinking blankly, “But I genuinely don’t know what you’re talking about?”
“Yesterday, at 12:17 pm, you texted me, and I quote - ‘this is becoming an issue, help…’ end quote.”
Megumi freezes.
“And when I ran over from where I was enjoying my lunch break antagonising Panda-senpai you acted like you didn’t know what I was talking about. You and Itadori just stood there, looking at me like the lemons you are.”
“I texted you yesterday during lunch?”
“Is that really all you got out of the last minute — ” Nobara begins, ire rising. Megumi pays her no mind, digging into the pocket of his tracksuit to find his own phone. He says a prayer to a god, any will do at this point, that when he opens his message app it will not show him what he thinks it will him.
The gods don’t listen. There, in his messages is his own chat box with Nobara, the offending text in his blue bubble and her answering rush of ‘?’ in response to it.
“I can explain,” he says weakly, cutting off her tirade. She finally takes off the silly glasses and he can see her full face again, her eyes look overwhelmingly big and earnest; it takes months of cultivated self-control to will away his instinct to blush.
“Out with it then!” She says excitedly, pulling her chain closer to his.
He looks away when she’s pulled up enough that they are almost eye-level, this close the floral scent of her perfume cocoons him. This is part one of the issue.
“Ihaveacrushonitadori…” he mumbles quietly, resisting the urge to hid his face in his hands by adjusting his position to sit on them. This is part two of the issue.
���What?” Nobara squawks, leaning even further forwards “I didn’t catch what you said. Say it again, again!”.
“I like you too,” Megumi thinks, “I was meant to send that text to Inumaki-senpai.” He adds as an afterthought.
“I’m not saying it again.” Megumi says instead, finally giving in to the urge to lean back.
“No, don’t be like this Fushiguro-kun. You were making leaps and bounds in progress; you even asked for help! Now is not the time to regress!” Nobara insists chasing after him as he tries to create ground between them.
The only reason perhaps she had not jumped straight onto his lap was a fear of the fragility of their office chairs. It would be pretty embarrassing to make it out of their missions of the week unscathed only to break a bone falling out of a desk chair, of all things.
“I said I have a crush on Itadori,” Megumi caves, Nobara freezes where she’s advancing. Everything down to her very lash, which Megumi can see in startling HD at this distance, seems to pause.
“Oh,” She says, drawing back, and Megumi is so glad he’s sitting on his hands, lest he do something dumb, like pull her back towards him.
“Yeah,” he says, more air than word, because if he doesn’t keep the focus on this he will say something else. And it’s one thing confirming to your very pretty best friend that you are in fact in love with your mutual other very pretty best friend, it’s another thing confessing to the first best friend on top of that.
Nobara slings her left leg over her right, and picks her glasses back up. Megumi tries not to fidget.
“That’s it?” She asks.
“What.” Megumi says. He doesn’t actually know what he was expecting from this confession but this eerie calm isn’t it.
“Is you liking Itadori the only issue.”
“No.” Megumi thinks. “Yes,” Megumi says. Nobara seems to hesitate again after the answer, an almost flinch as she adjusts the iPad in her lap and the glasses on her nose.
And then like some sort of switch has been flipped, she explodes again. “You loser! Like anyone with eyes isn’t aware that your literally in love with Itadori! Did you only realise yesterday, is that your text of realisation, you absolute dumbass —” she rages, closing all the distance she had put between them again.
At some point during the rant, which Megumi hardly processes over being so closed to the other, Nobara flings her iPad onto his bed so she can liberate her hands and gesticulate wildly. She looks pretty, impassioned like this and Megumi can’t eradicate the ghost of a smile that creeps up his face at the sight of her.
“Are you laughing right now?!” She screeches, forgetting all rationality and sending them both toppling to the ground as she moves from her chair and into his lap. They hit the floor with a dull thud and in a tangle of limbs as her hands reach up to cushion his head from the impact and he angles his body so she doesn’t hit the ground too hard.
They lay there for a bit, in a stunned, incredulous silence before bursting into giggles. Giggles so loud they totally miss the bedroom door opening.
“Are y’all okay?” Yuuji asks where he’s standing in the doorway. He’s still wearing his winter jacket from where he’d been out on some errands, his nose a pretty pink flush from the cold. Megumi feel’s his chest seize at the sight of him.
Nobara adjusts herself so she’s no longer crushing him but instead laying comfortably atop him, chest to chest. “We’re fine.” She sighs, false put out with mirth in her eyes.
Where they are pressed together, Megumi can feel the elevated pound of her heartbeat.
“Oh.” He thinks, slinging around her waist. “Yeah, just fine.” He says instead.
#chellywrites#chel works on the bathhouse floor#requests#jujutsu kaisen fanfics#itafushikugi#ik the prompt was a bit angstier with the whole norbara loves yuuji too but i couldn't commit to the angst today im sorry OTL#enjoy this miscommunication scene which eventually leads to an offscreen three-way confession#ya kno ... instead of nobara agonising over her friends lol...#hope you don't mind i pushed my itafushikugi agenda on this nonny thanks for the request again

ah i havent been online for a bit so i dont know if you're still taking requests, but if you are, can i request itafushi? with the prompt being something sweet like cuddling... but then one of them (or both! your choosing!) can't help but think that moments like these aren't going to last forever :( if you decide not to write this then thats understandable, hope all is well! 💞
“fushiguro,” yuuji calls. he shifts a little under his comforter, trying to get a better look at his room. there’s no noise bar the expected groan of creaky foundations and the hum old radiators.
“fushiguro!” he tries again. another beat, another moment of almost silence and still nothing.
“megumi,” the final attempt, after this yuuji will give up and go back to his manga. a few seconds pass with no movement, as though the whole building has held its breath in hope.
and then, finally, the soft thud of slippered feet on wooden floors. megumi appears at the door with an overflowing basket of clean laundry perched on his hip.
“you called?” he drawls as he steps over the threshold, only half closing the door behind him. he sets the basket down by the foot of the bed and stares at yuuji, wrapped under two too many blankets and fluffy haired from rolling about, expectantly.
“i did,” yuuji says around his grin. he worms a hand out of his quilt cocoon to beckon the other boy over.
“i have to sort the laundry.” megumi says, even as he shuffles into grabbing range. yuuji catches him by the wrist as soon as he can, tugging firmly but softly all the while. megumi makes some sounds that are almost protests but falls as easily as ripe fruit do great trees, until he’s half on top of yuuji and half dangling above the floor.
“it’s cold,” yuuji says brightly, pressing them closer together and dropping the volume in his hand to reach for megumi’s hair. “let’s cuddle.”
“we have chores,” megumi points out. they’d been putting them off for a while. there was laundry and budgeting and the stove needed to be cleaned. nobara had coincidently decided to get her hair re-dyed today and so the recycling had also piled up.
“mmm, they’ll still be here if we laze around for say… forty minutes.”
“twenty,”
“thirty!”
“thirty then,” megumi sighs, kicking off his slippers and joining yuuji on the bed proper. the room falls into sort of silence again, just the burble of ancient radiators and the lullaby of the creaking foundations. it smells a little sweeter, yuuji thinks, like freshly washed sheets and freshly dried socks — but that wasn’t it, there was something more, something deeper and cooler, like a pine forest after rainfall.
“what are you sniffing at?” megumi says as he traces vague patterns along the exposed parts of yuuji’s neck.
“nothing,” yuuji lies as he shuffles closer, adjusting the blankets so they cover his bedmate too. in a few minutes it will grow far too warm for the both of them but for now, it’s toasty, blissful heaven.
“liar,” megumi says with no bite, but when yuuji turns so he can press his nose to megumi’s neck, he says nothing, simply let’s him. after all, there would always be laundry and it always could wait, who knew how much time they had left to be like this.
#chel works on the bathhouse floor#chellywrites#requests#jujutsu kaisen fanfic#itafushi#first request and it’s so on brand for me it hit my writer’s block with a mallet and i churned this out in literally 10 minutes#thanks nonny! i hope this was cuddly and subtlety sad enough :D

hello there, i was recently thinking of your writing and trying to choose a fic to reread since ive been having a bit of a difficult time lately ('': im not sure how to describe it, but i really love reading your writing while im down, even if it makes me sad. in some way, the sad emotions are cathartic and comforting? like... i definitely feel sad while reading, but it also has this magical way of making me feel taken care of? im not sure why or how it does that, but i would like to
hi nonny! firstly, i’m sorry you’re going through rough times! i hope they pass soon and i hope you find closure, peace and contentment! i also hope you find the fic amongst my writing that you’re looking for, and that you get that wonderful cathartic feeling. i’m super honoured that my writing allows you to feel like that and you come back and reread my work at all… it’s crazy that things i do myself with authors i think are leagues above me are also being done with my works! thank you so much for telling me, stuff like this is the reason i keep my writing up even if i currently hate it or feel inadequate in my current projects!! again, i hope life treats you well soon! you’re loved nonny! 🥺💜!
#chel works on the bathhouse floor#i hope you get the tender care 90% of my fics revolve around! i hope this is a set up for you being held and taken care of! of brighter days#and domesticity!#i love you all!! whoever sees this!! know you’re loved and things will get better!! so indulge in some escapism and keep being brave lovely

5, 6, 15, n 19! also, it looks like you rlly like spirited away, have you ever written or considered writing any spirited away fics?
5. satosugu adopt kids (yikes) (jujutsu kaisen) - i feel like every jjk writer has one little self indulgent family fic squirrelled away and here’s mine: firstly i’ve deleted everything to do with curses because they pose too much potential for angsty and also because i can’t write action scenes whdjdj! secondly, gojo steals (legally) megumi (no tsumiki in this au because i’m afraid of how to write her), while getou saves the girls from a bad situation. mostly it’s just daily dramatic domestic shenanigans with some kids :D
“only one of the bunnies is paying him any real attention, happily sniffling at his ankles, and for it’s troubles suguru lifts it up gently, as he makes his way into the living room. he’s sure eventually the rest will get bored and follow. even before he enters, the sounds of national geographic on the television are barely distinguishable from the volume of satoru’s laugh and nanako’s petulant whines.
megumi is sprawled on the floor by the table, one of his two dogs is most definitely in the corner eating his homework, for the third time that week; this time, suguru decides, he will not help the boy try to fix it in a panic before the deadline. satoru should have been a responsible parent and prevented it from happening. the other dog is unsurprisingly, being used as an oversized cushion.”
6. temple au (jujutsu kaisen) - one of my three endgame itafushikugi wips! nobara and megumi help yuuji revive the cult of sukuna after sukuna accidentally messes up and reincarnates into yuuji, nobara realises she has ancestral blood in the cult and megumi stumbles upon the temple while avoiding his own clan issues. it’s a super fun, supernatural au which is more silly than serious tbh.
“nobara was sometimes not unlike a piranhas, less prone to attack than people expected, but easily riled up by the scent of fresh blood.
as though to prove that just sometimes, he was some god’s favourite, their destination comes into sight. amongst the wane light of a waxing moon, the structure stood hulking and proud. it was eerie, with the way the wood gleamed as though newly polished, the shine carmine of the tiled roof. the silence of it. buildings this grand, this intricate, should creak in their foundations, the windows should rattle in their frames, the walls should groan under their load.
they come to a natural stop. nobara somehow manages to rock on her heels despite the uneven mud.
“we’re here.” megumi says, just to be annoying. “
15. watermelon sugar type beat (jujutsu kaisen) - another of the three itafushikugi wips! set semi-canon this time, it’s just a silly one shot (?) spawned from my own hcs for the trio, where they go to sendai and do silly teenage things in yuuji’s hometown! i also wanted to try and write the visiting the grave scene a la chainsaw man. no expert sorry because the state of this wip is best left for my own eyes jsjdjjd (it’s a mess OTL)
19. take a deep breath, take a deep breath, take a deep breath- (genshin impact) - zhongli loosing his gnosis isn’t as straightforward as he explained (or expected) and through plot armour magic shenanigans, our favourite liyue teens have been de-aged at his behest. it’s blatantly an excuse for me to have zhongli play house and maybe if i’m up for it explore his loneliness and detachment for his people and humanity as a whole. anyway, as they saying goes: “from the mouths of babes” for the wisest of introspections.
“zhongli holds hu tao upside down by her ankle. now this would be quite feat perhaps, if he wasn’t a millennia old god and the girl in question had been her normal size. unfortunately, as he listens to her squealing laughter and forces his grip a tad tighter as she shakes in his grasp, hu tao was very much not her normal size.
there are other issues, of course. there’s the fatui mages unconscious on the ground, the remnant sparking of electro over the dark lake of wuwang hill, the other not quite normal sized people clustered around his leg.
“mr zhongli,” xiangling says in a very quite voice, much higher than her usually chirping tenor, “what are we going to do now?” ”
spirited away! -
firstly nonny you’re totally right! i love spirited away and it’s probably one of (if not my number one) favourite movies of all time! funnily enough, despite loving ghibli movies and content, i’ve never thought to or attempted to write a ghibli based fanfic - spirited away included! i feel like most of the time when i write fics it’s because there’s something else from canon my mind wants to run away with and see. however, in the case of spirited away, i don’t think there is? the film and story are so well made and self contained i am want for literally nothing jsjdjd. i could (do) just watch it again and again and enjoy the way things play out. same could be said for other films like howl’s moving castle and kiki’s delivery service, which feature heavily in my other social media accounts (and make up far too much of my personality). but it’s not just ghibli that gives me this vibe funnily enough, some anime/manga i consume also feel complete enough that i’m happy to just leave them be fic free (the shock and horror of it)... others however, i have a personal vendetta to bend to my emotion driven will OTL...
wip title ask game!
#chel works on the bathhouse floor#jujutsu kaisen fanfic#genshin fanfic#my whole writing blog is spirited away based! i even have a spirited away them for my aes blogs shdjjd#you can find them through my main! my twitter was also spirited away themed and if i ever manage to do admin my ao3 will change accordingly#ask game

I think my favourite fanfic of yours is Hades did not take Persephone by force. It was v good at capturing that angsty feeling of caring about someone who is for sure going to be executed in the (possibly near) future - like all the good times the main trio share together have this undercurrent of living on borrowed time, or the sense of Itadori being essentially a dead man walking even as he tries to enjoy the days he has left. (Also I am a sucker for the trope of jade hounds defending Itadori/generally being a dead giveaway for Fushiguro’s feelings lmao)
“hades did not take persephone by force” is looking to be my most popular fic ever, so the reasons you’ve described must resonate!! i’m really glad the almost forbidding, hopeless vibe of the situation shone through... sometimes i feel like everyone’s to relaxed about the whole inevitable end of it all in the manga/anime because truly it’s either: yuji dies or sukuna wins 😳 and so your point about living on borrowed time feels extremely poignant!
i’m glad you enjoyed it overall and are happy enough to send me an ask about it!! (i got a lot more jade and protector metaphors coming up in my future works, i hope you’ll stick around to seem em!!)
#chel works on the bathhouse floor#fushiita#lyrebirds-writes#ask games#i didn’t acc tjink anyone would come forward to tell me so thank you#i was pretty proud of hades/persephone when i finished writing it#it’s fun little fic i think vv clearly epsiode 5+6 inspired but also very much my overwhelming overthinking vibe

hello there! this may be a bit random, but i saw your itafushikugi hcs the other day and i love them sm! do you think you'd write something about them? whether platonic or romantic? (no pressure, just curious!)
heyyy nonny!! i do love itafushikugi and i’m so glad that you love my headcanons!! i have a couple of wips in the works, all on my own sliding scale of platonic (temple au) to semi-romantic (weekend away au) that i hope to finish over the summer when my exams end!!

would you ever write soft itafushi at least in an AU? har har, also, i read the most lovely angst itafushi by cityboys (first love late spring & some kind of we) that absolutely ripped my heart out
would i?
i’m teasing, yeah probably! i have a few (unfinished, procrastinated, stalled) wips with like virtually no angst that i just have neither the time and/or motivation to finish currently! but i’m in jjk for the long haul at this point and so hopefully soon i’ll do a full piece where i leave the angst seasoning alone!
ooooh! thank you for the rec! i’ve heard good things about cityboys (though i’ve never read any of their stuff since it’s been a while (like 7 months lol) since i actively read for jjk) and i’ll endeavour to check it out!

what is your favorite thing about writing? and what are some of your favorites fics that you've written?
heyy nonny, my fave thing about writing is probably the self indulgence of it all! whether that’s allowing me the freedom to ponder and vent or vicariously live out silly and fun interactions through characters!
ermmm fave things i’ve written is kind of hard to answer for me right now since i’m in a kinda slump with all my writing OTL... my tiny fma fic remains one of my all time favourite things tho... and currently despite not liking most of my jjk fics anymore they layout of this fic definitely makes me want to write in a similar style! sorry i couldn’t properly answer your last question nonny! if it’s any consolation, even tho i don’t love my current published work i have a few wips that give me glee and make me want to keep writing!

hellooo um i wanted to ask if u have ever had a hard time reading other ppls works while not feeling so great abt ur own? right now, i havent rly been satisfied w what ive been writing, but id still like to read books/fics and such for leisure, and to improve. but the problem is, whenever i read other ppls writing, i start to feel bad bc i feel like i could never write like that. its even worse when its a writer i like bc i want to read their works :/ srry if this is a loaded question, u dont
hey nonny, this is a totally fine question and your feelings are totally valid! i do find it hard to read other people’s work when i feel a bit put out about my own, especially if it’s in a fandom i’m writing for/trying to write for! this is normal and valid and fair!
usually i take it as i sign that i need a break from both reading and writing in that particular space!! this is also totally normal and fair and valid!! you’re allowed to step back for a bit. and if you’re uncomfortable stepping back completely maybe it just means it’s time to switch up the fandom or topic you’re writing about! maybe binge something new and fall in love with some new characters!
you’re totally correct to believe that reading is a good way to have fun while improving your writing, but the same way that writing should be self indulgence, so should reading!! so please don’t feel bad about feeling dissatisfied with both writing and reading! it’s normal to get caught up in the technical aspects of things, despite how much fun they can be.
as for dealing with insecurities about your own writing, this is also totally normal, fair and valid! it’s a feeling that cycles inevitably around. again when feeling overwhelmed by emotion that’s not positive for something i always suggest take a break! and again, switch it up! if you’re writing with expectations for posting or for an audience — take a step back and write something silly for you, with no intentions of polishing up and posting. write about an obscure ship that only you like, or for a fandom that doesn’t have much online presence, or one that does that you’re not really interested in posting for etc! i think taking a rest and cantering your writing around you again is always the best course of action.
and you can take your time with this, you’re a person with a complex life and circumstances, and fanfiction/writing should always be a fun outlet for whatever you need to get out!
i hope this helps and you feel better nonny!! you’re feelings are totally valid and i hope this time passes swiftly so you can enjoy creating again 💗🥺
