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.

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
It was a beautiful summer night in Iwatobi when Haru had been declared missing. We had traveled home to celebrate his birthday at the beach. It was meant to just be simple fun, a moment to relax after a recent low stakes competition. We had a barbecue and camped out like a bunch of kids on summer vacation. I stayed close to Haru for most of that day, he seemed so happy, his smile and his precious laugh drawing me in over and over again. It was such a rare sight, maybe I should have been worried?

Summary
It was the same story every fucking year.
Last year Haru at least had the decency to pull his vanishing act after the party. The year before that was the morning of. But this year? He was so polite as to vanish right before the party started. The worst part was?
Everyone was acting so normal about it. It pissed Rin off.
