Hey its okay i hope u get better soon ur amazing!! Until then well b waiting i wish u the best !!!

Hi everyone,
          
          as some of you may know (those of you who follow me on Tumblr at least), I've been very unwell. In mid August I had a major asthma attack and I was hospitalised - basically my lungs were collapsing and I had to be medicated with some very tough drugs for a span of several weeks. 
          
          Since then, I moved half way across the country (with a baby and two cats) - I'm now back home, but unfortunately I also had a relapse and I'm currently on antibiotics and cortisone (again). I'm doing okay-ish, but it's been a very trying time for me, what with taking care of a baby, moving, finding a new living space and managing therapy. This is why I haven't been able to update any of my fics; I have zero energy for editing. As of now I'm just trying to go with the flow and "survive" this phase. 
          
          So I wanted to take a moment to tell you all that I'll still be on a break until I'm actually tangibly better. I absolutely plan on finishing my books, specifically the Reader x Toji one (I've got most of the chapters panned out, half of them are written), but it's only reasonable for me to delay new updates until I'm in good health - my hope is that by late November I'll be posting again. Please bear with me.
          
          All the best to all of you and thank you for staying with me on this long journey!

TOJI X READ,  CHAPTER 21 IS UP - TITLE: Incunabulum

So I received an automated message from Wattpad, in which they're not-so-subtly suggesting to update stories, under threat of being shadow-banned.
          
          Quite dystopian, considering that fanfiction writers don't receive any monetary compensation. 
          
          So at this point, I'm going to have to momentarily take down the books I have on hiatus (at least until I find an ending for them), so I'd suggest to all my readers to move to Ao3.

TOJI X READ,  CHAPTER 20 IS UP - TITLE: Monkeydog

Considering how the latest One Piece chapters are playing out, I think it's time to pick up my Eustass Kid x Reader fic and complete it. At this point, I'll also change some of it (especially the initial chapters). If you've got any questions, you can reach me at my Tumblr account :

          2) Why didn't the Uchiha seek diplomatic dialogue?

NARUTO META & ANALYSIS, NEW CHAPTER: Hashirama's self-sacrifce, an act of faith or cunning?

TOJI X READ, NEW CHAPTER IS UP - TITLE: Sokushinbutsu
          
          It's been a while since I've had the time to write and edit and I apologise for my disrupted schedule, but Motherhood truly is immersive and requires so much time and dedication. I'm not particularly proud of how I've written this chapter and I can't really find the energy to edit it any further - so here goes... Hope you guys enjoy, regardless!

Hello everyone,
          
          Some of you may not know this, but over the last 9 months, well, I was pregnant.
          So, one second degree laceration, 12 stitches and a vulvar hematoma later, I'm finally home with my baby boy. I gave birth 10 days ago, if memory serves me correctly (I'm still floating around in the ether, I'm so sleep deprived that everything feels bizarrely oneiric, as if it's been just one extremely long, continuous day).
          
          This was the hardest, most atrociously painful experience of my life, one which I will never forget (unless I develop Alzheimers or something) - I cannot fathom nor put into words how horrific the pain actually was - the closest I can describe it is being ripped apart in two from the inside and then suffering a violent surge of electricity through your sinews before each wave of contractions subsides. 
          
          Motherhood is a surreal experience, especially in the beginning (for now at least, we'll see how things develop in the future). I still haven't quite rationalised that I am in fact a mother now - I'm traveling on autopilot. When the realization hits me, it'll probably send me reeling - So for now, I'm simply trying to reassess and heal.
          
          Still, through all the pain, the constant bleeding, the deformity of how pregnancy leaves your body, there's a wondrous glow in my arms now, a tiny, living, breathing baby who knows nothing of the world except his mother's love.
