Summary
“I'm psychic, jack!” was how it had all started. Three words, dripping with sarcasm and laced with venom. A tiny, barbed weapon of a sentence that Shawn had slung at the detectives who had chosen him as victim of their verbal assault. A simple knee-jerk reaction to having his methods and abilities called into question.
If Shawn had thought about it, he would have agreed with and understood the detectives' point of view – after all, a strange man who didn't seem to have a regular job had just walked in, knowing too much about local crime and claiming to have advanced deductive skills that even the police station's own homicide investigators couldn't match. Of course he came across as suspicious.
... Too bad “I'm psychic,” the least honest thing he said in that interrogation room, was also the only thing he said that anyone believed.
[Current Chapter: rewrite of "65 Million Years Off"]

Summary
A young fae who has been christened 'the Elfprince' lets his curiosity get the better of him, and he learns a valuable lesson: "You can't go home again."
This is a continuation/sequel to "the Elfking," but has a very different vibe. It explores what happens to Ryou after his transformation into a fae creature, and tries to establish a bit of who his new self truly is.

Summary
An ABO-verse, but now with a Soulmates trope mixed in, and a healthy dose of "Author Cares Too Much About Exploring Gender Identity and Sexual Characteristics, Focuses on That Instead of Writing Porn Like Everyone Else."
Anyway, yeah. There's Alphas, there's Omegas, there's some other genders rattling around. Everyone is born with a soulmate (or two). I don't have a full story for it yet, so it's just some oneshots here and on tumblr, wherever I felt like posting at the time.

Summary
Asahi claps his hands together and looks straight into Rin’s eyes.
“Truth is, Rin, you’re really fucking competitive. And not only in games but with yourself, man. You’re ambitious as hell and I really admire that about you, don’t get me wrong. But it’s like you’re pushing yourself until you can’t take it anymore. You got every hour of your day written down, dude. You have your whole life planned out, but you’re not living it.”
Or, Rin models for Haru's Art project and finds brand new shades of himself as he falls in love.
