tash asked do you have a favourite line or scene you'v…

I saw this message last week and I've been thinking about what to answer, but I think the truth is I don't really attach myself to any of my fics enough to have a favorite line or scene. Nothing that sticks out to me as a point of pride, anyway! Writing for me, is more something that I can do as opposed to a craft I work hard at honing, so maybe that's where the indifference comes from? I mean, I can't even name a favorite work I've written, haha.

I'm sorry, this is a lame answer!! Thank you for the question, though, Tash!! <3

Hi Tash <3
It's hard to choose, but I think an overall favorite comes from The Hazards of Writing from the Heart's second chapter, with Akira and Goro's aquarium date:

“Ah, these were just some things I remembered from documentaries I watched… I’m sure there’s a lot more interesting information…”

“Akira.”

He looks up just in time to be kissed, and all thoughts are blown from his mind as Akechi hugs him close by the waist and threads gloved fingers through his hair. He melts, getting lost in the perfect sensation of those lips against his, chasing them as they start to move away.

“I like hearing it from you,” Akechi murmurs, “You should talk more about your interests.”

Bashful Akira + bold Goro is a fun mix, and I just like the affection and encouragement Goro gives to Akira, who's not used to such genuine interest and positive reactions to his thoughts and expressions of interest

shdjuahfsjf I may have several...? Some of them horny, some of them less horny (I only have two moods lol)

"He holds out his hand, and Akira looks at it like an idiot for what feels like an eternity until he remembers that social norms exist and returns the handshake." - Daddykechi AU
"It wasn’t a good night. His wounds and feelings hurt the same." - Two sides of the same coin (Commander AU)
"The gloved hand slowly descends, Akira having lost control of it, as if it were a separate entity. As if through the leather, the desires of its original owner come true, taking the opportunity to explore every inch of his rival's body, delighting at the slight tremors of Akira's lips as he brushes his fingers across them, like a feathery kiss." - Two sides of the same coin (Commander AU)
"He was still hugging the end of the creature's tail, a reflex he developed the first days to help him sleep better and decided to keep doing because he loved the soft touch, even if Goro sometimes gets jealous of his own tail and hugs him from behind so Akira can't know where the snake starts or ends, surrounded by his strong presence." - Returning the favor, (NagaGoro AU)

aaaa sorry i just saw this and then retro deleted my response lol. but! that's a really fun question omg. my fave line would probably be from ch 8 of keep your faith, "Akira could never be his, because the world Goro chose was one of deceit and betrayals, not playful banter and nights wrapped in intimacy." i think it hits pretty hard from an emotional standpoint, while also being well articulated from a writing standpoint, imo? as for scenes, i think my fave would actually be a scene from the upcoming penultimate chapter of keep your faith....👀 tysm for the question!

one of my favorites is from my first fic “a fools errand”, the scene where Goro kisses akira’s forehead after looping a couple of times, and then finishing the job once more after that brief moment of tenderness,, i just really like how that turned out ;-; thank you tashtash 💕💕

ooo thank you for the ask!!! i probably have a few but this one sticks out to me the most:

“Love is like a seed,” Hanasaki said, stepping forward to press the packet into his hand. “It needs to be nurtured in order to bloom. […] And even if it does, it isn’t guaranteed to survive. When that happens we have to remove its roots and start again. But that doesn’t mean we forget the flower we lovingly cared for,” Hanasaki continued to say, turning around and offering Akira his bouquet again, “or how beautiful it was while it lasted.”

-only fools rush in, chapter 4
