Scarian one shots >:3
Just some scarian stuff I don't ship the real life people just the characters I have dyslexia so sorry for the spelling and punctuation and typos and all the other stuff :( I will write fluff and angst but I'm aroace so no smut as I feel uncomfortable writing it. I put trigger warnings at the start of chapters. I will also be writing a small amount of flower husbands/ flower ranchers possibly but most of this is going to be scarian :3 If I write anything that is against someone's boundaries then please inform me as I did not do it on purpose I promise. This counts for you the reader as well! If I forget to put a TW then please tell me :) Cover art is by samgatinho Its mature because of topics of SH and other heavy topics
