I posted two fics today for the end of the month: the January 2025 MSP, the worst day of your life, and Wild Magic (Rewritten), a rewrite of a much older MSP whose idea I felt like I didn't quite do justice. the worst day of your life is a short ~800 word character study of Chisaki Kai, who's being forced to relive his most painful memory, and Wild Magic (Rewritten) is a vaguely historical/fantasy AU where a teenage Eri learns that there's more to her uncle's death than she thought, clocking in at 9000 words, which is massive for a oneshot. I won't be posting the January 2025 MSP here, so click the link to read it on Ao3. (You'll need an Ao3 account for that.)

Now for the announcement: I'm putting my Monthly Short Piece series on hiatus for a couple months while I work on life stuff. If all goes well, I plan on picking it back up in May. See you then!

Summary:
Everyone’s heard the news, it seems, and now everyone’s here, even though nobody’s ready. It’s an odd mood for a crowd outside of a small local art museum, but they’re not there for the art, exactly—it’s the person that accompanies the art that’s the problem.
Or: word spreads that someone else has escaped Ohtori through a new exhibition at a local art museum.
(Can be read as a soft sequel to abandonment (liberation). Can also be read with zero knowledge of abandonment (liberation).)

A Tumblr writing snippet (aka, something I wrote on a whim in a couple of hours).

Mortal: I see age has only made you more beautiful
The ageless god he's flirting with: har har

Kurono: Kai, are you alright? What's wrong?
Chisaki, legs shaking like a newborn fawn's: you know what's wrong you ass

Another RGU piece, this time from Saionji's POV, set post-canon as he moves in with Wakaba for financial reasons and they try to settle in to routines that won't end up with Saionji getting a sword pulled from his chest. (I'm sorry I keep forgetting I have Dreamwidth--)

Summary:
The thing is, Kyouichi has finally and permanently uprooted himself from Ohtori’s poisonous ground, but even as he feels himself growing into something new he’s desperate for familiar soil. The thing is, Wakaba needs a roommate to help pay rent and ease the loneliness, someone who will believe her when she lets something slip about the insanity of her previous school. The thing is, on paper, this new arrangement is perfect for them both.
The thing is, in practice it might not be so perfect.

Additional Tags: Moving In, Financial Issues, Post-Canon, Developing Relationship, Pre-Relationship, that one metaphor from Fahrenheit 451 about how flowers can't grown on other flowers, that flowers and fireworks both need good soil and a solid foundation to grow, although i guess i didn't develop that metaphor as well as i'd have liked
