RATING/WARNING(S): G, No Warnings
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Completed, 2,507 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Shiraishi An, Aoyagi Toya
FIC SUMMARY:
RECCER'S NOTES: LIGHT UP THE FIRE lives rent free in my head, even after all these years. What a wild, shocking, totally-unrealistic-in-that-way-only-gacha-games-can-be event! What's even worse, the setup was there all along. I could see it coming from a mile away. It still hit me like a freight train.
Anyway, the fic: An's grief is so specific to her circumstances, and so… not. As in, her grief is still relatable and incredibly gripping to the audience. I was starting to taper off of PJSK around this point, so I'm not sure entirely how An's character was handled from this point on, but from what I saw at the time and what I see now, I still think we moved on too quickly from this event. Let that girl GRIEVE, holy moly!

MAIN CHARACTERS: Shiraishi An, Aoyagi Toya
FIC SUMMARY:
The apartment is quiet. Almost eerily so, for the Shiraishis'. Toya makes his way to An’s room and knocks gently on the door. “Shiraishi? Can I come in?”
For a moment, there's just a quiet rustling sound– then An's voice pipes up. “Yeah, all good!”
She sounds… surprisingly upbeat. Toya pushes the door open.
He looks inside to see An sitting on her bed in day clothes, a significant upgrade from some other days he’s visited. A quick scan of the room tells him more; it isn't too messy, and the bed is made. The balled-up tissues beside the bin aren't quite as plentiful as they were last week.
She’s doing better.
---
In the aftermath of their confrontation with Taiga, Toya helps take care of An, as his teammate and best friend.

Part 3, Week 5
May. 7th, 2026 08:32 pmsoc_puppet in moodthemeinayearWrote this one up in advance so I was more likely to post on time this week; looks like it worked!
This week's Minimum and Medium moods are: Scared, Thoughtful, Working
This week's Maximum moods are: Curious, Predatory, Bouncy
And we're off of Angry derivatives! Which is a little weird, since you might think Predatory would fit there, but whatever. Curious seems like a pretty straightforward mood to work with here; a good head tilt can do wonders to express curiosity. Bouncy also has a lot of fun literal potential; what a great opportunity to show your subject literally bouncing up and down! Predatory is a little rougher, I'll have to admit. What, or perhaps who, does your subject prey on? My Fancy Rat is wearing a vampire costume, and my pigeon is sneaking up on a sheaf of wheat, but it's one of the other moods I skipped for my clouds.
How do you plan to approach Predatory? Do you have something in mind, or do you need to do some digging and/or brainstorming? What about the other moods? Got anything lined up? Need some more work? Let's talk about it!
