Below are some of our collected works of poetry and fiction, in no particular order.
Our oldest work that we feel is worth its salt, though it's still appropriately rough around the edges. A career magical girl early in her transition faces college, grief, and giant raccoons.
CW: mentions of gender dysphoria, suicidal ideation, strangulation (a monster doing it to the protagonist)
A low fantasy about portal otherworlds and toxic relationships. Allusive to Alice in Wonderland in some ways, but not in others.
CW: questionable consumption of alcohol, discussion of toxic relationships
A science fiction slice of life about an amphibious retail worker in the far-flung future.
CW: suicidal ideation, depiction of unsanitary work hazard
A flowy prose piece about concerts, written at a time before we were afraid of crowds. The title is a strange one, taken from a song by Alvvays. We'd change it if we gave a damn.
A high fantasy oddity bogged down by lofty words and shaky worldbuilding. Themes of faith, choice, and lesbian homoeroticism. Worth a look if that's your thing, perhaps.
A short science fiction story about portraits, numbers, missing pieces, and strange feelings. Set in a Kafkaesque afterlife. Has all the marks of being written by a newbie writer, but we feel no need to conceal it from anyone.
The image described in the story, 11692-492, is a real portrait by Todd Hido, and was on display at the National Portrait Gallery in London from 16 November 2017 to 8 February 2018.
A supernatural slice of life about writer's block.
An older work that we still find some satisfaction in. Very much a tribute to Gravity Falls. In it, a city employee meets with the owner of a tourist trap one final time.
An Amphibia fanfiction we wrote back in 2021. Like many of our works, it's dialogue-driven and rather short. In it, two friends are reunited in an interrogation room, but they aren't seeing eye to eye.
An Owl House fanfiction written in 2020. In a short and fluffy scene, two pining young lovers share a tender moment, but doubt that their feelings are reciprocated.
An Amphibia fanfiction, and a personal favorite of ours; self-indulgent and dramatic rubbish. A pair of friends, separated by distance and emotion, dream of each other and their failures.
Content warnings in file. Major ones include mild depiction of blood and implied child death
"An apologia, if you're wondering, is not a variety of insect. Neither is it a type of cancerous tumor. It's an apology. In other words, it's not worth the paper it's written on." - Pseudonymous Bosch
if ever my works read terse or incomplete
you should know that it is because i
punchy statement, absurd surreal
spoken as if obvious and mundane
rumination on subject
meandering detour
something about getting out of bed
something to do with sisyphean tasks
line about a beating heart
blood and spit
something about what you're not mentioning
like it's worth including exclusions
something that is simply true and the antithesis
something you don't believe even as you write it
that's the way. hollow and pithy
