Hello everyone! I'm Julia, but I'm commonly known as Firechick12012 or just Firechick or Juliko in various other forums and fandoms.

I happen to be VERY into Japanese anime, manga (or comics), and video games. But I also enjoy reading (I'm very picky about the stuff I read) and writing. I hope to become a published writer some day!

I have an account on Archive Of Our Own, only I go under Juliko there. I wanted to use that username here, but it was taken, along with just Saoirse (pronounced seer-sha), so I had to make do with SaoirseParisa.

Current Fan Fics:

Ongoing Fan Fics:

Fire and Dew (Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns): a WIP fic for the second Story of Seasons game. Harper is a young woman who dreams of becoming a farmer, but could never pursue it because of having to deal with childhood traumas and her father's job requiring their family to move a lot. Finally, she manages to find the chance to become a farmer and moves with her Uncle Frank. She makes lots of friends, especially with a man named Yuzuki, whose past and troubles are similar to her own. Now that she's on her own, Harper is determined to make her dream come true. Now in progress.

Completed Fan Fics:

Pokemon: A Marvelous Journey, Johto Arc (Pokemon): As of now, this fan fic is my current one and my ambitious passion project. It details the adventures of a young girl with autism and her trusty friend, a shiny Pichu. Together, they make friends, meet legendary pokemon, fight bad guys, rescue good guys, and find their place in a world that can often be very cruel to those who are different. I have several sequels planned out, as I have wanted to write a Pokemon fan fic for years, since I was a kid, even. Finally complete after five and a half years!

Together With The Wind (Pokemon): A simple one-shot about Zinnia, about my own theory on what happened to her and Aster. It just came out after a bout of inspiration provided by one of my all-time favorite Japanese Pokemon songs.

Memories Of You (Mother 3): Just a one-shot about Lucas reminiscing on his mother and brother. I personally am fond of this one-shot.

Sylvia The Sylveon (Pokemon): As soon as the first picture of Sylveon, the fairy type Eevee evolution, came out two years ago, a muse popped up in my head, and I HAD to make a story for it. It turned out to be quite successful, though as the years passed, I've come to realize how deeply flawed it is in a lot of ways, so I no longer love it like I used to. I don't recommend reading this unless you want to cringe really hard.

Twilight Pretty Cure (Pretty Cure): A completely original Pretty Cure fan fic with an all OC cast. It's about four (later six) young girls who team up with a family of fairies whose world was destroyed by a kid who stole their treasure. Said kid is on a mission, and the girls have to stop him from potentially destroying Earth. Abandoned. I consider this the fan fic I most regret writing, but I admit it's not the worst thing I've written. A bad yaoi story I wrote in high school was WAAAAAAAAAAY worse, along with my super bad Super Robot Monkey Team fan fics from seventh grade. That being said, I don't like talking about this fic in any capacity, and I'd rather put it behind me. It deserves to be forgotten.

Beyond The Scarlet Twilight (Go! Princess Precure): A poem about Cure Scarlet, one of my favorite Cures in the series, detailing her struggles with dealing with the trouble she caused the heroes.

Ringing Bell (Shounen Onmyouji): A one-shot that takes place after the end of the series, where Masahiro tries to come to terms with the fact that his childhood friend has lost his memories and will never be the same. Kinda an old one that, looking at it now, I'm not really proud of. Too pretentious and full of purple prose.

Digimon: A Seraphic Tale (Digimon): My passion project from 2011-2014. It tells the tale of many young children who receive Digimon. Said Digimon's world has been destroyed by MoonMillenniummon, and they need the humans' help if they're going to defeat him. I loved working on it and many fans loved it. But looking back...it's admittedly not very good. I could have written a bunch of stuff better (such as Ayaka's overall character, Aria's situation, Rena and Riku's parents and their reactions to Rena losing her leg, Rena losing her leg in general, have Julia be less of a self-insert character, etc.), some stuff was too melodramatic and felt too much like an after school special, and I could have toned down some stuff. I plan on writing a sequel that'll resolve all of the loose ends left dangling and be less...exaggerated. Still, I don't regret writing it. I wish I could go back and redo it and take out or change things, but my Pokemon fan fic takes priority, and I don't have the motivation or inspiration to get back to it. Maybe Tri can change that...

Red Velvet Valentine (Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons): Just a fluff piece based on the characters Lillie and Raeger.

That's How The Peanut Butter Cookie Crumbles (Voltron: Legendary Defender): Again, same as RVV, just a fluffy one-shot about everyone's favorite Space Dad and green Voltron Paladin. Also: DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN EPISODE FIVE ONWARD!!!

Elysia's Little Treasures (Tales of Zestiria): Yet another fluffy one-shot, this time starring the two main characters as babies and detailing how they became friends. This is the one-shot that I'm the most proud of, as I really enjoyed working on this. It's also my most popular fan fic on my AO3 account.

Never Walk Alone (Pokemon XY): An Amourshipping one-shot starring Ash and Serena. It's a gift for an online friend of mine.

Precious (Tales of Zestiria): Once again, another fluffy one-shot. Just a silly, self-indulgent piece I wrote on a bout of inspiration. Terrible title is terrible.

Love Feels Like Home (Tales of Zestiria): A WIP Tales of Zestiria fan fic taking place in the modern day. Basically another modern day AU, slightly based on The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Sorey Shepherd was looking forward to a bright, happy future where he would go to college, major in archaeology and history, be with his friends, and have a great summer. Everything was going great...that is, until tragedy takes his mother away, and the colleges he applied to all reject him. His only family is a grandfather he barely knows, and is sent to the tiny town of Elysia to live with him. All of these events are far too overwhelming for Sorey to handle, and with Sorey being autistic, the changes are proving to be too much. But even in his darkest moments, a helping hand from a new friend just might be the thing he needs to be able to cope with what an uncertain future holds for him. I'm really proud of this one, no contest.

Discontinued Fan Fics:

Parfum Pretty Cure (Pretty Cure): Cancelled. Sorry, fans and reviewers who reviewed this. But I did save all your reviews onto my hard drive so your feedback and criticism is still around!

The Lunar Tales of Sailor Luna (Sailor Moon): Lost inspiration to work on it. Plus, it has plot holes that need revamping.

Howling Gem (Steven Universe): Recent revelations in the show made this story kind of moot, so I don't see any point in continuing it now.

The Wild Dragons (Akatsuki no Yona) - Same as Howling Gem.

Planned Fan Fics:

The Tale of Team Go-Getters! (Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team): A PMD fan fic novelizing the video games.

Jewelpet Friendship (Jewelpet): My own Jewelpet fan series. In Jeweland, magical creatures called the Jewelpets live in peace. But while they may seem cute and loving, even Jewelpets can be cruel. Diana is one such Jewelpet who is disliked by others her own age because she wasn't created like a regular Jewelpet was. She tries to be friends, but they all reject her. However, Diana learns the awful truth when, one day, a strange force brainwashes her into unsealing an evil organization of ghosts and goblins called The Fassad Faction, whose goals are a mystery, but everyone knows they're up to no good. Jeweland is completely decimated, but not all hope is lost. Queen Jewelina sends various Jewelpets to Earth, asking them to bond with humans and make them into sorcerers, as the bond between humans and Jewelpets may be what can stop the FF once and for all. But the truth may prove to be even darker than what anyone expected, and there's far more at stake than everyone realizes. Inspired by Jewelpet Twinkle, my favorite show in the series. Ruby doesn't appear in this, as I'm sure there are people who are sick of Ruby.

Seeds of Tomorrow (Harvest Moon): A WIP fic taking place in Friends of Mineral Town's universe. Will have many divergences from the original game. Sterling Warwick, Ramona Goodwin, and Venus Mercer all have one thing in common: they both do volunteer work on the farm that's part of the Mineral Town Children's Center, a place where abused, exploited, or abandoned children go to recover from their traumas and receive regular therapy, such as art and animal therapy, among other things. Sterling has benefited from working on the farm since he and his father left their abusive mother/wife years ago. His childhood friend, Venus, also works on the farm, though she had an easier life than he did, and her animal therapy is more to help with her autism and to develop life skills for the future. Now, he can do what the farm did for him and Venus and maybe help someone else now that he's in high school. But the new girl, Ramona, doesn't seem to trust anyone despite being a hard worker and a devoted farmer. Maybe, just maybe, living in Mineral Town can help her come out of her shell. Still in the planning stages, but I plan to write it out once I finish Pokemon: A Marvelous Journey.

Final Fantasy: Saviors of Light: An in-depth novelization of the very first Final Fantasy game, complete with new backstories and personalities for the main characters, and additional details for various NPCs and settings to make it feel more real. The world is slowly dying, and a prophecy says that six warriors bearing six elemental crystals will appear and save the world. Garnet, an honest, headstrong knight, his childhood friend Alice, a shy, kind, gentle white mage, Keira, a sassy, energetic explorer (Not a thief but has some traits of one), her girlfriend Verity, a level-headed, worldly, pessimistic red mage, Tedros, a calm, amiable, compassionate blackbelt, and Osiris, the twelve-year-old black mage who doesn't seem to remember his past. These six people will experience all sorts of joys and hardships, and may even have to face their own demons, but the world's fate is in their hands.

Love Live Rhapsody!: A fanmade Love Live season of my own making. School idols are all the rage right now, but you won’t find any in the tiny, overly traditionalist countryside town of Sotoba. Mahiru and Nono are two young girls who feel suffocated by their new high school and how it places tradition and overly high standards before everything else, but transferring schools isn’t an option. But when Nono brings up the idea of starting a school idol club, along with recruiting other members, the girls jump at the idea, hoping becoming school idols will be just what they need to kill their lingering boredom and rebel against their high school’s stringent control. But while a good majority of the kids in school like the idea and give their full support, they have to deal with adversaries such as the control freak principal and the occasional overbearing PTA soccer mom trying to put a stop to the school idol club. But as long as the girls of Moonbow can do what they want and spice up their lives, they won’t let a few obstacles like these get in their way.
