yallabecause i loveeeee writing about my writing plans
so far on my list of works in progress (that aren't just plot bunnies), i have two enstars fics and one fic for prsk. if i counted the fics i have drafted but i don't know if i'll ever finish them bc i lost interest, i actually have eight enstars wips. which is crazy bc i Still do not actually play the game vs prsk which i play almost religiously. i need to put them out as more than a google doc screenshot of words so that i feel more interested in writing them bc of the imagined audience who will never read this lmao. the word count includes notes right now bc i don't feel like deleting them from the doc so it's not a Real wc and the prsk one is horribly pathetic currently. but we roll
off point lotus / 2.1k (reikao pseudo r/s study)
this is the infamous reikao in question. i want to finish this one asap bc it's already late for my self-imposed (and frankly, foolish) deadline of reikao birthdays, but honestly? the way i'm moving it probably won't be completed until like april 2023 WHICH IS NOT WHAT I'M SHOOTING FOR but if i have to do it like that. then so be it. hopefully i can get it done sooner i just feel like i'm wandering in circles... repeating myself... crazily chanting "BUT KAORU WANTS TO KNOW!!!" 2927642 times in the mirror like it will make something substantial appear on my google document... but it really is something i want to write and i think if i wrote it properly i could probably get around 5k out of it. and a 3k sequel about reikao at the pacifica taco bell and looking for sand crabs because i loveeeee sand crabs and the pacific ocean on a foggy, blustery day. they've grown on me

This is going to be a whopper. i already know it's probably not going to be finished before the other two on this list but it's kind of my baby right now so it's here anyway. it will almost certainly wind up longer than drift in (12k) just because it needs More in general to build and develop bc it's fucking arakao and i have no foundation so i have to Make one for myself. if i had to guess on a final wc i would venture a tentative 18k but it's anyone's guess.. the writing on this one is smoother than opl like i'm not Blocked on it, i just need more time.... ahhhh. also sometimes it is crazily hard to write arashi and kaoru conversations bc there are literally Two times they talk in canon but for fic purposes they have to interact on a deeper level. and it's Hard. anyway i love fics about vulnerability and especially when the vulnerability is tied to physical and emotional intimacy - which is what makes pacrim so fun to Me. bc of this i think it'll probably wind up being an m-rated fic lol.. not a bad thing necessarily but i'm really putting (non-explicit) fucking in here... my bad i just reallyyyyyy love the contrast of forced emotional intimacy through drift vs voluntary physical intimacy in bed.. and how those can overlap or not... my arakaos.....

[tentative title] the heat haze, clad in sorrow / 0.7k (poly/need pacrim au)
this will Also be on the longer side for a oneshot, but probably not over 10k. it's a crazily low wc right now but i have plans for it.. i really love my leo/needs and i love their weird polyamorous estranged childhood best friends thing and i love pacific rim aus so OBVIOUSLY.. i have to put them all together in a fic. the premise here is not too far from canon but i want it to be a shiho pov where she views herself as holding down the fort of their childhood jaeger pilot dreams while saki is sick and ichika and honami find themselves doing Other things in the shatterdome.. and then saki returns. like my other pacrim wip, it isn't Hard to write it's just that i have not had the time to flesh it out... i don't read much fic anyway and i'm kinda too old to be complaining about the state of fics for what is an audience composed primarily of young teens....... but i do Not like the prsk fics i have seen and i would like to write something that i would at least be willing to click on. so this is really a fic for me and the 2 other people who want to see project sekai pacific rim fusion i guess

The dream shifted into becoming jaeger pilots together, band sessions replaced with Kwoon Room mock fights, the four of them poring over Shatterdome cadet protocol and kaiju encyclopedias, instead of Saki's musical theory books and whatever the rest of them could scrounge up from the library.
