A Japanese soldier writes his final letter home to his wife in Hiroshima, after the atomic bombing of 6 August. In the wake of utter devastation, he imagines his wife still waiting faithfully for his return. He removes his uniform and shuts out everything - the war, the destruction, the ruin, and focuses solely on their reunion. And in death, none of the suffering will ever touch them again.

It's America 1942, and it's wartime. Everyone of Japanese ancestry has to be moved and relocated away from their homes and lifestyles. For Kazunari Ninomiya, he doesn't see how any good could come out of losing everything. That is, until he meets his new living mate. Now, suddenly everything is different. *WARNING CONTAINS HOMOPHOBIA, ABUSE REFERENCES, HORRIBLE HISTORICAL ACCURACIES, RACIAL SLURS, AND SMUT. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.* This is a story that I originally posted in 2014-15 on my LiveJournal @smile-arigatou. Technically a sequel to 'Snow on the Peak' but slow burn. This was kind of my passion project at the time. Comments are love!Complete

Tokyo Revengers ff 『The Hell I've Been Through』
I never imagined that i will be back in this place, how much i yearn for this, being in the mountains and being far from the troubles the city gave, i wasn't just in a city, i was in hell, it was tiring, the every day torture was agonizing, it was almost death for me in that place, being in there with the remorseless and drudging people living in that place you will just wish you just died or regret your life decisions, the place was a war base it self, a place you never wished to be born in, but one thing for sure it was definitely hell even so... I was happy, i had that chance to meet the people who became my family, i learn how to help others and put my life on the line for them ------------------------------------------------------------------A story about my OC and Tokyo Revengers character being in one of the most cursed place in TokyoComplete
LOST AND FOUND IN TOKYO
In Tokyo, where neon lights flickered endlessly and the city never truly slept, a girl stood alone in the rain. Sakura's suitcase was soaked, her clothes clinging to her skin as she stared at the house she once called home. The door had slammed shut behind her, the echoes of her mother's voice still ringing in her ears. "You've ruined enough things already, Sakura. Just leave." She clenched her fists, biting her lip so hard it almost bled. Her sister's wedding had been called off that morning, and as always, the blame had fallen on her. She was unlucky, they said. A walking curse. With nowhere to go, no one to call, she wandered aimlessly until her feet ached. It was hours later, sitting outside a small convenience store, that she met him. A boy with tired eyes and a bag of instant ramen in his hands. And that was where everything changed.Complete
