When you grow old...
The old woman was one of those increasingly rare few who lived to see well past a hundred years and well aware of her silent watcher always behind, patiently waiting. Oh, how she ached for the strength youth brought physically, emotionally, and mentally...
"You keep forgetting even though you've been visiting me more and more lately." The little girl lightly giggled, hugging a raggedy white teddy bear to her chest. "Silly old grandma..."
"It's your bedtime." The watcher spoke in a soft, stolid voice. "Goodnight, Jane Doe."
"Goodnight." The old woman and the little girl chorused, eyes closing.
(A short story born from one of my tries at a diatribe of the unequality and unfairness of life and time, my nervosity of aging and death, and my liking of personification and symbolism.)

LMK x Child Reader (NON-BINARY) [ON HOLD]
(This a very old book and contains grammar errors, slight cringe and some other stuff normally found in a 12 year old's fanfiction when they have too much time on their hands.) Welcome to my first story, technically. Also, all relationships will be platonic! (Because the reader is a child). The reader is also non binary, but I will make two other books with the same story, just different gender. ~Y/n just wanted excitement in their life. They didn't feel many emotions. They had a wonderful family that loves them and cares for them. After They were left home alone while their family went on a trip and was in the care of a certain noodle shop owner, they finally gets a bit of entertainment.~Complete
✘ 'Two Connected Souls' Undertale Sans x Reader Soulmate AU
(DISCONTINUED) 'A young girl has just been living her life normally; until she turned thirteen--the age where you can find your soulmate. That was when this young girl and their parents--found out that her eyes not only changed colour, but she also had a tattoo/soulmark.' 'For years humans have been born with the ability to find their soulmates by eye colour. The first emotion you feel when you turn thirteen is the emotion that causes your eyes to change to your soulmate's.' 'Monsters have been able to find their soulmates by a tattoo of something that represents their soulmate. Humans, however, do not have tattoos unless they are a monster's soulmate. If this is the case, the 'soulmark' as it is referred to as, will only represent the monster soulmate and will be the single soulmark used to find the other half. A monster can find their soulmate by either of them touching the other's soulmark without having any bandage or piece of cloth in between them. Although rare, it is not uncommon for a monster to have a human for a soulmate--so what if Sans did?' WARNING!: This was a basic summary, I will be adding in a bit more information! Although this IS an 'X-Reader' fanfic, (and my first at writing one) I will be giving the reader heterochromia eyes. You will be able to choose what the colour of her right eye is--but for the sake of this story, her left eye will be green. 1st Book in a Series! AND YESS, the reader will be female. (Sorry guys!!!) I Do Not own Undertale, it is owned by Toby Fox! I do not own 'reader,' you do. (The cover art is the soulmark.)Complete

My Funeral
Have you ever wondered what your funeral would be like if you died one day? Qiu Xue had attended several funerals, including her paternal grandfather's, paternal grandmother's, maternal grandfather's, and maternal grandmother's. Every one of them, without exception, had been a traditional funeral where men were superior to women. From childhood to adulthood, and from observing norms to questioning them, were those traditional rituals and customs truly unshakable? Family, friends, work, daily life, and the Internet-no matter where she went, everything was filled with the framework of traditional gender roles. The harsh voices, every day, every minute, every second, never stopped and never changed. Qiu Xue longed for light, but being in the darkness, she could not find the world of light. All she could do was write down her fantasies in a notebook, imagining and expressing herself page after page. "In this life, I've often struggled with gender inequality. Do I really have to face the same troubles that plagued me throughout life in this final journey?" "If this means the soul will be in pain and no place to return to, then so be it." "As someone already dead, I no longer fear pain, I no longer fear loneliness." "What I fear are the depressions that haunted me while I was alive." "All I want is to be free in this last stretch of the road, even if only for a short while, I'd still take it." "I just want to be, once again, happy." She fell into darkness but still held onto a small glimmer of hope. She escaped the world, found safety in the snow globe, and shut herself into that tiny world. The world of the snow globe was simple and beautiful, free from the hustle and bustle of reality. It was a pure land in her heart and an ideal world. But one day, such beauty was eroded, and the snow globe malfunctioned. As if foreshadowing something, the broken snow globe could not be repaired. It seemed to hide some secret. It was both the end and the beginning.Complete

That's where I saw her, just underneath the weeping willow. She sat with this solemn look on her face as she read this huge book. And that's when I just got confused, how could someone so beautiful look so sad? It never looked right to me, even when I was just so young. Now everyday she sits beneath that tree, for six years.

I unexpectedly befriended her that day, and afterwards, we ended up sitting next to each other almost everyday. Together we sat, right under the willow tree. Only to have it end almost too quickly.Complete
