update 79.

september 4th-10th.

this update is going to be ??? because that's really the only way i can describe my state of mind right now. it almost impresses me that my brain can work this way because it's so unconventional, but it does—and who am i to complain? you could say my brain is akin to having multiple tabs open on a browser. i'm a multitasker at heart and find it difficult to stay focused on one task for a long period of time. when it comes to this project, i'll writ...

what's next?

what do you want the next batch of drabbles to be?

an early present.

update 78.

august 28th-september 3rd.

erm, hi. i definitely meant to write this up yesterday but, uh, i once again underestimated how draining it is to move and unpack and clean bathrooms that you shouldn't have to clean but do, and— you get the point. i'll be stuck doing this for the rest of the week (so many boxes in my room, yay!) so i don't expect to have a big word count for the next update. this one, however... i mean, not to hype myself up, but it might be the biggest wor...

first... [n alves]

synopsis: first time coming over.

note: i think i'm still in the angst headspace because this is defintely not as fluffy as i intended it to be, but i think it provides a good look inside N's head that i haven't really been able to showcase so... you win some and you lose some. the ending is cute at least? (don't kill me)

N is far from a control freak. Compared to some of their cowor...

update 77.

august 21-27th. 

if you're a fan of rambling, you're in for a treat because that's what the entirety of this update is going to be. if you're not? well, sorry. because (as i said on tumblr) Rylan's character is currently beating me up with a baseball bat on their characterization and i just. that's really the only news i have. because if i thought K was causing me a writing slump, i don't even want to know what Rylan's doing with my head right now.

i'll start...

macarons.

update 76.

august 14th-20th.

i think i've done it. i've finally jinxed myself. it's either that or the stress of school coming up (excuse me while i go throw up) that i've been unable to write lately. or, that's a lie. it's not that i haven't written any words at all. it's just that every word i write feels... dull. for my standards, at least. i've been told i can be a bit harsh on myself so honestly, maybe someone else will read it and say it's completely fine, but to me, it's ju...

first... [rylan villanueva]

synopsis: first time being referred to as 'partner.'

It took a while for Rylan to become comfortable being seen with you in public. Usually, they'd call that a red flag. In their case, well, they think they deserve a little bit of leeway. Because you see, a relationship between an IAOS employee and a supernatural already raises some eyebrows. Make that a hunter and their former bounty? Well.

You can imagine how that is.

But once they got us...

update 75.

august 7th-13th.

i don't like playing favourites, but i think what i wrote this week has to be my favourite thing in this chapter thus far. bold claim, i know, but i really really really like it. i'm not sure what it is. something about K being kind to the hunter while also being their usual grouchy self is just. ah. gives me serotonin. because as much of an asshole they can be, they're not going to kick someone while they're down. their perspective is that it's easier ...

deleted scene (chapter six).

from the first sentence, you might be able to tell why i deleted the scene. point blank, it's wildly out of character. by chapter six, i was still experimenting with the ros personalities and thought it might be fun to have Blane display a different side of them when on the field, namely one that is much bolder than they are.

aside from when they're picking fights, i'd say i've written Blane to be rather quiet. and so, i eventually decided this 'side' of them didn't feel right and went ...

on your side.

update 74.

july 31st-august 6.

i'd be lying if i said i finished what i meant to do. i would've last night except i knocked out before i could so. there's that. not that i'm disappointed in myself. sleep is sleep and well, i kinda need a lot of it (sometimes i wonder if it's more than the average person). to look at some numbers, i'd say N's branch is 85% done and K's is about 15%. add those two together and i technically completed my goal, right? (say yes, please say yes).

...

first... [a devereux]

synopsis: first time using pet names.

You see, the thing with [A] is they don't think before they speak. They have absolutely no filter. Once a thought enters their mind, it's out of their mouth the next instant. It's gotten them into trouble more times than they can count, but an upside of their unfortunate… habit, let's say, is they're rarely ever phased by other people anymore.

Or so, they thought.

Because the moment they hear the word...

update 73.

july 24th-30th. 

N's branch. probably one of the only routes where there's no angst and yet, i somehow made it happen. i would blame the notes asks that i was writing on tumblr yesterday, but i wrote this bit before that so... granted, it was a long time coming. and really, i'm making a big deal out of it but it's only for those who have been rud...

update 72.

july 17th-23rd.

you know how people manifest things into existence? i feel like i do the opposite. like how last week i said i'd start someone else's route. did i intend to? absolutely. did i get around to it? no. because once again, i underestimated how many words i write for choices. i could write two sentences and call it a day but nooo, i have to write nearly 300 words for each one. times that by 5 or 6 and well, it's time-consuming, to say the least. not that i don...

daydreamin'.

update 71.

week of july 10th-16th.

i always feel like i do so much more until i look at the word count. don't get me wrong, i know that numbers aren't everything and progress is sometimes made without writing at all, blah blah blah, but huh. i truly did think... oh well.

i decided on a whim to start with Blane for this chapter. well, i actually started with [A], but i got stuck on a certain bit and didn't know how to move forward, so naturally, i moved on to Blane and create...

first... [blane rekner]

synopsis: first time cuddling.

It's no secret that Blane Rekner does not like touch. Which is why when people find out they're dating you, aside from the obvious reasons why you two should technically make a bad match, their eyes bulge out of their heads and their jaws drop to the floor.

They know. They know they're not very affectionate, that holding your hand is something they only managed to do a week into your relationship and that your first...

update 70.

week of july 3rd-9th.

one week has gone by since chapter nine was released and damn, it feels like it's been years. i know many of you are waiting to see what happens next in chapter ten, but as i usually do when i begin a new chapter, i've been taking my time. i tend to lose motivation after i spend a week editing and coding (and then fixing up the various bugs and typos), so the progress has been slow. as some of you may have seen, however, there is a plan for it. the...

this is where it begins to matter.

small note before any of you panic: [A]'s route is also an option! theirs just doesn't follow the same text format as the other four so i didn't include them :)

deleted scene (chapter nine).

ah yes, the most recent deleted scene in my 'scraps' document. it hurt to discard this one too, especially since the choice set was over 2000 words long. but as i've learned, numbers aren't everything.

i scrapped the scene for three reasons. one, because it made the pre-stakeout feel super long and took away from the anticipation a little. two, because it felt a little bit like [A]'s random question in the car in chapter one. and most importantly, three, because i felt like the purpose ...

update 69.

ramble.

this isn't going to be so much of an update as much as it is a sort of, ramble for me to plan out what's happening next. so hi, how's everyone doing? last i was here, i dropped chapter nine and ran for my life. as some of you may already know, i'm currently working on bug fixes for the few that have been caught and am fixing up the relationship stats. i went through the game and counted everything last night (which is tremendously tedious by the way) so i now ha...

first... [k de vries]

synopsis: first time reaching out.

It's normal to find you at K's place nowadays. If they're not at their own apartment, they're at K's penthouse, curled up in the dark as the two of you watch a movie, or watching K with silent adoration as they cook dinner.

At first, K wasn't sure what to think about the change. Rylan forces their way into the door practically every day, but there was something about having you over that was different. It's stra...

drabble vote.

theme for the next series is 'firsts' :)))) let me know who you want to see first (pun not intended)! a drabble will be up sometime this weekend.

chapter ten.

(the rest of) chapter nine is live!

ahhhh i can finally say it!! i'm so pleased to announce that the rest of chapter nine is live. the password is placed right where the first part left off (after Blane storms to the washroom and K says everyone else has 10 minutes to leave).

it's been one hell of a ride to get here but i truly hope you enjoy <3

password: psychedelicdreams (all lowercase, no spaces)

an enigma.

last sneak peek of this chapter before it goes live!!

update 68.

WHAT I DID.

so sorry for not posting this yesterday—and for not posting it until way too late today. ten o'clock at night is not an ideal time for these updates, but i was in the middle of editing chapter nine when i realized that, oh shit, my update wasn't up yet. so here i am. needless to say, i'm a little scatterbrained right now.

edits are going slower than i expected, but they're picking up pace. the goal is to have the chapter edited twice and coded by sun...

all fun and games.

synopsis: the gang plays Mario Kart. things end how you'd imagine.

note: wrapping up the ro&ro fics with a little group drabble. poll will be up sometime later to start writing ro x hunter fics again, including an option for requests <3

"Devereux," Blane growls, "I will choke you in your sleep."

"Kinky."

"Devereux."

"Oops, my finger slipped."

The group watches in horror as...
