STATUS: Still alive, PMs are open, and the target for the next chapter of KotK's release is early August. Thank you so much for your patience!

Hiya guys!

Welcome to my profile.

I'm awkward at these kinds of things...let's see, basic facts? That's a step in the right direction.

Currently aged 24. Living somewhere you'll never find me. Love to read and travel.

Pen name? My OC's are my babies, and two in particular have a special place in my heart - Sachi (who probably won't appear on this site, but there's tons of pics of her on my dA!) and Amaya, who's in basically all my works. Sachi means bliss, and Amaya means night rain, and thus: BlissfulNightRain!

Would sell my soul to Kingdom Hearts/Final Fantasy series. Not really. Well, maybe. Basically I like that stuff a lot. And it's all I'm probably gonna write about on this site so...

I'm very welcoming of good constructive criticism so I can improve. Love a good compliment here and there ;) Flames are cool, too, though. Like how they're all red and orange and yellow and blue all at once and stuff.

If you ever wanna ask me to read something of yours, or ever just chat me up, feel free to hit me up through PM! I love making interwebz friendz.

My (Obviously Very Important) Opinions on Stuff

Pairings:

I write mainly for Kingdom Hearts, so:

Sora x Kairi (OTP)

Terra x Aqua

Roxas x Naminé (I will sink with this ship)

Riku x Amaya (fite me)

Isa x Lea

Riku x Aqua

Vanitas x Xion (a guilty pleasure crack-pairing)

Riku X Xion makes me want to hurl.

OCs

I love these things haha. I feel like they can be a really cool tool, when properly developed, to explore interesting points of lore or offer a different perspective on a series that you enjoy! I know that they get a pretty bad rep, since it might feel like they invade the fandom when introduced, but I've found a fair few that I've really enjoyed! If you find a fic that seems interesting but are skeptical of the presence of an OC in it, I'd say give it a chance and read at least the first couple of chapters - you might be surprised!

Obviously I'm a fan of these things so I have a couple:

Amaya is my main OC. If she's not one of the main characters of a fic, I usually try to incorporate her as a cameo. She's kind, smart, a little neurotic, and has mastered the art of subtly calling people out on shit (or not-so-subtly; depends on your relationship with her). In a canonical setting, she is also Sora's older sister. Pictured in my avatar, as well as the cover photo for A Date with my Best Friend's Sister(s) and Keeper of the Keywielders.

Fics by other authors Amaya has made an appearance in:

-Rags to Riches by Painted with a Palette! (It's an awesomely written SoKai AU fic, which I made the cover art for, too!)

-Out of Sight by my baes Painted with a Palette and SoraxKairi7 (RokuNami and SoKai AU!)

-Breaking Even by SoraxKairi7 (A SoKai AU - Amaya hasn't physically appeared, but her babies with a certain someone do ;) )

-Memories of You by Painted with a Palette (A RokuNami AU - Amaya only has had a brief mention in a certain someone's past, but I love this fic and wanted to feature it anyway~!)

Haru I usually plan on using her as Sora's little sister, and she will usually appear in my more light-hearted fics. The most accurate characterization for her is probably the younger, female version of her older brother. Pictured on the cover photo for A Date with my Best Friend's Sister(s), although she's a teenager in Sex Ed.

Mary Sue Bad girl, bad girl, whatcha gonna do? Her theme song is One-Winged Angel and she's the sexiest thing to ever exist with dat overdone make-up and saggy skin.

Secret OC You'll just have to keep up with my fic Keeper of the Keywielders to find out about this one ;)

Stories in Progress

Taboo: Aqua is diggin' an older man; problem is, there's quite an age gap! How will this pan out for her?

Chapter 4 Progress: 5%

Sex Ed , a collab with the wonderful SoraxKairi7! We got the idea after watching Haley Joel Osment's new movie, although this fic is totally way better ;) Go check it out and leave a review! :D

Chapter 8 progress - 15%

Playlist can be found here

Toxic: "Is Roxas a shitty friend, or am I just a huge pushover?"

Chapter 3 progress: 35% (On hold)

Playlist can be found here

Keeper of the Keywielders: Probably the most important fic to me on this site. I plan on this being my headcanon version of the KH series through the eyes of my OC, Amaya. Don't worry - it won't be a straight retelling. There are lots of instances where I feel like the KH series in general has glossed over important lore, and characters that have not been fully explored; the whole point of this story is to explore those things, as well as add some new plot points when I can.

I've actually been planning this fic since 2014, and the original prologue to the story was published in 2017 (about two years ago). However, my ideas have continued to evolve and with the release of KH3, I finally figured out a storyline and plot points that I was satisfied with writing.

This fic largely focuses on bonds of friendship and family, but if you've read literally anything else I've ever written, you know I love to slide in my romance when I can! This fic won't be heavy with it for sure, buuuuut not saying there won't be none at all either. Since we're following canon here, though, don't expect some angsty dramatic declarations of love or romcom-type stuff, though - that's what AU's are for.

Chapter 7 progress: 40%; it's coming along, so sorry for the wait! Hoping to get something out by the end of this month. (11/23/19)

Nautical Miles: It originally started out as one one-shot, but with tons of new Kairi-centric ideas, I decided to expand it into a one-shot series. Updates not as regular on this one. Serious/angsty tone for the most part.

The Old Hat Upon the Shelf: My first Harry Potter series, revolving around the Sorting Hat and the...interesting things its probably seen over the centuries in the Headmasters' office. Humorous (at least I try to be).

For both one-shot series, I am open to requests, however I will only pick and choose to do them at my discretion. Basically, if you have an idea you'd like to see me do, feel free to suggest it through a review or PM, and IF I have the time and like the idea, I'll go through with it and give you credit for it :)

Complete Fics

The Most Beautiful Sunset: Just some SoKai fluff hehe I think the summary says it all. It's rather short (I may rearrange it into a one-shot format at some point) and it's done, so you should totally go read it right now! (and leave feedback cause im a feedback whore hehe)

A Date With My Best Friend's Sister(s): Yes it's a Canon X OC fic, and most of those...leave much to be desired, but this is my attempt at making one that doesn't so hey, totally give it a read and decide for yourself! The full version of the cover photo is on my dA account - see below for deets if you're interested!

If anything, this was really an experimental fic to test out writing my character Amaya. Aside from the epilogue, the fic was written in 2014 when I was just getting started on the site, so there's tons of stuff I'd probably change about it now, but I hope you guys can still appreciate it for what it is.

Feedback gives me life guyz. I'm a pretty open book, so whether you offer me some concrit or just want to chat, consider leaving me reviews or dropping me a PM! :)

Artwork: My profile pic as well as all of my cover photos that aren't official Kingdom Hearts screenshots or artwork are hand drawn by me!
