The Pokémon Engineer

All or Nothing

Rating: Teen And Up

Three years have gone by since the fall of Naraku - three years since the disappearance of Kagome Higurashi, with hope for her return dwindling as the Bone Eater’s Well lies dormant. Things change for a heartsick hanyou as the magical portal suddenly reactivates, but not in connection to modern Tokyo. When strange shinobi from an unfamiliar era come through the well, Inuyasha finds himself with a new fight on his hands, and a new companion at his side. Between heated battles and new fears, will Inuyasha be able to set aside his heartache long enough to see the possibilities for happiness that now stand before him? And with the help of a powerful new ally, will Deidara be able to escape from the shadow of his own dark past? With their lives and hearts on the line, it’s all or nothing.

fuck it, I’m romanticizing underrated ao3 works now. 8,000 word fics with only 13 kudos, even after 5 months. multi-chaptered works with only 11 comments from the same 3 people and the author themself. incredibly specific works featuring OC’s mingling with canon characters that only get 5 kudos. rare-pair fics. gift works that are literally ONLY for the receiver.

Maybe it’s an unpopular opinion but…

Sorting fics by kudos and/or hits is not always the best idea.

It’s a good start for those who are new to a fandom but sticking to this sorting criteria only results in gems getting overlooked and the constant recirculation of the same handful of stories to the detriment of newer, less popular ones that might be just as good or, dare I say, even better.

I get that all fandoms have their classics but how are new authors or authors with a smaller following supposed to get a chance if only the popular fics are brought forward and kept at the front?

Anyone wanna help a bro out?

I'm curious if anyone's asked this question, but what made you ship them?

I know cross shipping is a thing, but what made you ship them.

Once upon a time in 2009, in the darkness of the wings backstage of a school play, two highschool best friends wrote a very silly crack fic together in a spiral notebook.

No but for real back in highschool I met my best friend when we were both extras in a school musical (and we are still best friends now 14 years later). We were both part of the weeb crowd and while we had seen each other around the same social group we hadn’t really talked or interacted much. We knew we both liked anime though, and turned out we both liked RP too, so we got a spiral notebook and started to RP together at rehearsals when we had downtime (and as chorus members there was lots of down time). The problem with this was that we didn’t actually watch the same anime. I was rabidly into Naruto Shippuden and my bestie was very into Inuyasha.

y-psigon asked:

is that the au on deviantart where merman deidara was suffocating because he can't breathe air? 😭

HFJDICTSEJHBWH YEAH THAT’S THE ONE

that drawing is 13 years old who are you and how did you find me XD

Some of that old stuff is best left buried. There should be a barrier on my Deviantart for everything made before 2022 with the long-term nuclear waste warning on it.

*slaps a holographic glitter sticker on my old DA that says “this is not a place of honor”*

Day 7 - Merfolk

Way back in 2010 I wrote a merfolk AU for these two (please do not go looking for it) in which Deidara is a ningyo (merman) and Inuyasha saves him from being caught on an anchor and beached on the shore. Later Deidara returns the favor when Inuyasha gets stung with deadly lionfish venom (by another ningyo), and swims him to shore to treat the poison. Then they fall in love, obviously. While I’m deep in my nostalgia brainworms, I couldn’t resist making this prompt a direct reference to that old AU.

Day 6 - Assassin/Hitman

Who am I to resist a Yakuza AU? Deidara has a necklace made of grenade pins. Deidara will douse you in gasoline and light a match. Deidara’s crazy. Inuyasha is just there to hold a sword and look pretty. Very rarely does he need it to send a message.

This art was made possible by the Yakuza tattoo brush pack by
SquatinaCaprium on Deviantart.

Day 5 - Photography

More modern times shenanigans. I really loved the idea of them getting pictures in a photo booth and I went with the most cliche possible sequence. Deidara has pulled the bandanna off Inuyasha in that last shot but I couldn’t come up with a way to show that that didn’t just clutter the picture up more. It’s somewhere behind them.

Day 4 - Rain

IDK I have no excuse for this one. I just thought it would be desperately cute for Inuyasha to use his bighuge sleeves to keep the rain off Deidara. It’s not as effective as he would have hoped, and they’re both getting totally waterlogged.
