Author has written 11 stories for Yu Yu Hakusho, Inuyasha, Cowboy Bebop, Pokémon, and Scooby Doo.

As requested by a reader, here is a status update explaining where I've been lately.

UPDATE, 9/7/2021: I’m fine! Long story short, I came out as nonbinary this year. My pronouns are they/them/theirs.

While discovering this truth about myself has been an immensely freeing and joyful experience for the most part, coming out has made it hard for me to connect with NQK. I’m currently taking time to build distance between her character and mine so I can continue to develop the story the way it deserves.

Basically the fictional version of me hasn't grown in the same directions at the same rate as the real me, and I need to come to terms with that. But it's hard. While there are hints in LC that NQK isn't as cis as she/others might assume (Kurama asking about her past life gender, her thoughts on gender being performative, etc.), she hasn't had the chance to explore herself the way I have, so she remains stuck in an identity-space I no longer occupy.

I'm going to continue to use she/her pronouns to refer to NQK, but I do consider her nonbinary, too. She just hasn't realized it yet.

Conclusion: My relationship with LC is an awkward mess and that's why I've been gone. Dysphoria sucks, but I’m feeling better about myself than I ever have before, and that’s a win. I even got the NQK haircut, which I was sort of test-driving during LC in some ways! Funny how that works...

I’m super active on TikTok, so if you want to check in with me regularly to see if I’m… alive… that's where you can see whatever bullshit I'm currently on. Handle is “star_sama13”; hope to see you there.

A GUIDE THE LUCKY CHILD FANFIC UNIVERSE

LUCKY CHILD: IN PROGRESS. A Yu Yu Hakusho self-insert fanfiction in which a fan of YYH dies and is reincarnated as Keiko Yukimura. Lucky Child is the main story in the series; other works are largely supplemental.

DAUGHTERS OF DESTINY: COMPLETE. A Lucky Child side story that expands upon Not-Quite-Kagome's role in the LC-verse and reveals the ugly truth behind her reincarnation situation. To be read between chapters 56 and 57 of Lucky Child.

CHILDREN OF MISFORTUNE: A collection of miscellaneous side-stories, omakes, deleted scenes, AU scenes, and other stuff that doesn't quite fit into Lucky Child proper. Content and spoiler warnings can be found at the top of individual chapters. As there is no set number of chapters in this collection, this is SHRODINGER'S STORY, both complete and incomplete at the same time.

WRITTEN IN INK: COMPLETE. October 2018 drabble collection. Warnings and spoiler tags can be found in each individual entry.

PENNED IN MEMORY: COMPLETE. October 2019 drabble collection. Warnings and spoiler tags can be found in each individual entry.

SCRIBBLED IN SECRET: COMPLETE. October 2020 drabble collection. Contains spoilers through Lucky Child chapter 116. Warnings and spoiler tags can be found in each individual entry.

RIOT CHILD: IN PROGRESS. A what-if story that poses the question, "How would the events of Lucky Child differ if NQK had died in 2020, the Worst Year Ever, instead of 2016?" Focuses on politics, COVID and 2020's various depressing shenanigans.

SCOOBY-DOO, WHERE ARE YU-YU?: COMPLETE. A Scooby-Doo/YYH crossover. Starts off as a crackfic before taking a sharp turn into realism. Ends with a somewhat tongue-in-cheek crossover with Lucky Child itself. Can be read without any knowledge of LC.


OTHER WORKS

THE GHOST IN YOU: IN PROGRESS. A Yu Yu Hakusho fanfiction. Kuwabara/OC. In which Kuwabara befriends a ghost with a dark secret. Combines romance, mystery and horror.

BETWEEN THE STARS AND THE SEA: IN PROGRESS. A novelization of my Pokémon SoulSilver Nuzlocke Run. Contains self-insert elements, an amputee protagonist, and a darker take on the world of Pokémon.

QUEEN OF THIS BACKWATER MOON: IN PROGRESS. A Cowboy Bebop fanfic. Jet/OC. A sci-fi romance about duty, family and political intrigue.


Ideals are like the stars: we never reach them, but like the mariners of the sea, we chart our course by them.

Folding Socks by Archaeological reviews
Sending a kid to Yuuei is no small feat for a single mother, so when Tokio's daughter was expelled by her homeroom teacher along with the rest of her classmates, it was no wonder that neither took it well. It was also no wonder that said mother overreacted when he showed up at the café where she worked. Things only went downhill from then. [Canon divergent as of chapter 254]

Graveyard Girl by owlloveyou reviews
She stared down at the Ouija board, watching what little smoke left behind from the fire pit snake out from underneath the board and curl around it before crawling to the sky. The candle lights flickered ominously, casting a surreal glaze of orange light over the board and her friend's faces. She knew better than to do this, and so she knew she deserved what would come.
