I'm curious :D how do you plot our your stories! and what are you looking forward to writing in either of your stories!

YES! Ok, so I usually have 2-3 outlines per story I write. The first outline is usually just idea and lore dumping, getting an idea of the themes and the general ambiance of the story. Also usually put major plot points there as well, like with BhM for example, I have a list of all of Akira's masks as well as how the thieves need to obtain them. Then I have a second that is an actual outline proper, like breaking down scenes and the beats I want to hit in each one. Then sometimes I'll have a third one if I'm really in a rough spot and I'll have a lot more linear outline with more details so I can keep myself moving when I have writer's block. Usually, just the two are good though.

As for my fics! Yes there are scenes I am very excited to write for both of them. With Beneath his Mask; the last like, three chapters are going to be so so fun to write. Without spoiling too much; Feral Joker gets pissed and the Thieves have to deal with fighting a guy who has a kaleidoscope of personas at his beck and call. And actually meeting Joker's true shadow. Also the cannibalism chapter :)

And with Crow's Murder, there are a lot of scenes that'll be really fun with this. Though most are lighter in tone for the most part, Goro is soft and angry about it. That being said,,, Shido's and Maruki's palaces will be TRIPS.
