me, to myself: I will not start a new WIP. I will not start a new WIP. I will not –
my brain, slamming the accelerator to NEW FIC with the same excess as a toddler dishing out birthday confetting: WHOOPHI PLOTBUNNIES TIME ENTER THE WORLD QUARTER DONE AND NEVER TO BE COMPLETED
Hey guys!!! Sorry for going radio silent for the past few months; RL has been hectic! Anyways, I’ve had people asking me if I’ve amenable to commissions, and now that things have settled down, my answer is yes! The commission info should be up shortly. Thanks guys!
tfw when the chronology and worldbuilding of a series is just one big plothole (and piecing together a coherent timeline is like trying to do intricate embroidery in the dark) but all is forgiven in the light of the perfect, broken, beautiful characters that said series introduced you to.
AS fanfiction is such a bad idea the most I’ll write is 2.5 character studies and like. 3 SUPER DUPER obscure crossovers. Why are my fingers twitching for the keyboard anyways.
Omg I read you MK analysis and I can't agree it HAS SO MUCH POTENTIAL like I don't wanna drag romance into this too much but what are the chances that from Tokyo's entire population Kaito just falls in love with the daughter of the man that's trying to arrest him??! Akako is so interesting I've read fics from her POV and they're interesting af like the way she reads people's souls omg and Hakuba who reads people with logic instead of emotion, him making friendships has so much potential XD

YES I JUST WANT ALL OF THEM TO BE FRIEEEENDS. Beyond their dynamics crime-fighting wise, the best part of the quartet is their dynamics inter-personally.
I want Akako and Aoko to be FRIENDS. I want Aoko to bewilder Akako with her good intentions and innocent nativity and sunshine– Akako, proud indomitable scarlet sorceress who’s never ever HAD a friend, suddenly caught out of sorts because of this. And I want Akako to utterly WRECK anyone who even thinks of doing Aoko harm. I want Aoko and Hakuba to be FRIENDS, the kind that commiserate over Kid and Kaito and police-force fathers and swaps class notes because Kaito’s are half glitter and Akako’s are written in ancient Egyptian. I want Hakuba to get over his wary magic??? and Akako to thaw her ice queen persona enough to be FRIENDS, and start discussing the relativity of space-time physics to space-time magics. And I want every inch of Kaito’s extremely complicated relationship with all three of them to be explored both individually and as a group. I WANT THEM TO BE A SQUAD.
The under-utilization of the Magic Kaito quartet in DCMK fanfiction saddens me. They have such amazing potential, like, there’s a genius detective with powerful connections in the police force, one of the world’s flashiest and most renowned thieves (also a disguise master), an exponentially powerful sorceress, and possibly the only person who can sit the former three down for club activities without inciting a riot. Slam them together and launch them into the path of fighting crime – they’ll be SPECTACULAR. (And hilarious, but that goes without saying.) It’ll be like teenage Leverage but against Murderous Syndicates. Canon’s already given a great foundation for these dumbasses; they’re in the same class; the bonding interactions JUST MAKE THEMSELVES. So why can I only find like 1.5 fics with anything near this premise????? Tragiqueeeee.
I want them to be friends in a bickering, vaguely antagonistic sort of way,
but with the additional undertone of: “if you mess with them I will track you down and ruin your life.”
The former is canon and also pretty much the only way I can see their dynamic going, factoring in Kaito, Akako and Hakuba’s respective and competing egos, their night-jobs on opposite sides of the Law, and their differing priorities and moralities –thus why Aoko is so important as peace-keeper. The latter is already Aoko and Kaito’s canonical relationship. And Akako and Kaito’s even, though its slightly one sided. And Fanon-wise Hakuba and Kaito are perpetually played in this light, so I’m not sure why we can’t just go the full circle and make these four be A Squad, pretty much ALL the foundations have already been set, just not explored.
Like, there’s only 2 really major issues/secrets that need to be cleared up.
