AIKO TIME TRAVEL NEW STORY (writing game! you have a week to participate)

The catch is that I will only continue one of them, the most popular one. You can vote here, on my Patreon. I'll also link it at the bottom.

Scenario 1:...

Decision 1 for the Aiko time travel game!

This is to decide which version of Aiko has time traveled to Konoha's past! The next fork will determine when, exactly, she had landed.

This poll will be open for a week, at which time I will write the next group of possibilities. 2025-07-31 10:49:53 +0000 UTC View Post

August News and Schedule (new Aiko story game!)

Thanks for being here! We’ve had 21 free members and 7 paid members join in the last month and I am happy to see every one of you. 

The last section of the Problem Child deleted scenes is the first regular Wednesday post of Aug...

Problem Child DELETED SCENES 2/3

The damn thing was that Aiko did fall asleep on the plane. She didn’t mean to! The room was dark and the cushion beneath her was soft. Mercy pulled a warm, heavy blanket over Aiko. The airplane was humming.

The last thing she ...

Problem Child DELETED SCENES 1/3

I wrote out an entirely different arc (and much shorter storyline!) of Aiko's kidnapping, and then decided I didn't like where that story was going. The prose is fun, though, so I thought you might like to see what could have been. In this deleted...

Chiaki promised to pass on Aiko’s request to see Senhime before she left back to whatever task she had been assigned. It was a good failsafe but Aiko also felt fairly confident about finagling an invitation via Narahime. It was nearly time f...

“My name is Fujisawa.” He introduced himself brusquely. “The workers who you had a mob remove from my company were there on two-year contracts, paid upfront to their heads of household,” he said promptly. He had the professionalism not...

Hello!

The first post for this month is part 2 of the Pope story, an absurdist short fiction inspired by the brief historical period where there really were three simultaneous popes who excommunicated each other. These popes also excommunica...

The Schism: 3 of 4 Popes stand before you (pt 2 of 2)

They stared at the Fish Pope, the lowliest and most foolish of men. 

He leaned on his staff and sort of doddered at them. His eyes were half closed.

“...The nice people who sell cheese?” Pope Cabernati clarified. The non-s...

The Schism: 3 or 4 Popes stand before you. (pt 1 of 2)

“I have already predicted your downfall. The cubes foresee a miserable failure for all leeches,” the original Pope said. He was still holding the stupid miniature set of variously shaped objects with 90 degree angles. He rattled it halfhe...

The nabe restaurant wasn’t hard to find. The building stretched out into the skyline, comfortably superior to the single level stores around it on the main street. It was made of handsome logs of dark wood as a frame. They created clean line...

WAP 55

As usual, no one truly appreciated how funny she was. Aiko sighed and fidgeted while the room dissolved into a very long and very boring series of deliberations. She sat down by the wall and watched them argue about whether or not he could have be...

Aiko got back to her room and took advantage of the water basin to wash her face, splashing away the heat of the day. It really had been such a long day. She paused, checking in with her body. It could have been worse.

She didn’t feel tire...

Hana was happy to see her. Aiko dumped her unconscious prisoner on the floor with a thump and stretched her arms out for a hug. “You look so good,” Aiko crooned, gathering up her mouthiest acolyte. “Look at you, and oh- your little man.�...

June 2025 Love Letter to Subscribers

It’s been a wild year! I’ve had surgery and been diagnosed with several disabilities since my last life update. Ultimately, things reached a point where it became more economically viable to quit my job than it was to work fulltime and be in c...

If Aiko was a little bit slower, the spy would have lost her head. 

That might have been her goal, Aiko reflected, a hand around Madara’s wrist. Her body was blocking him from murder. He had moved to kill in defense of Aiko’s honor ...

Yes, obviously she wanted to fight. Aiko bared her teeth at him to intimidate. 

He said, “Awww, okay little buddy.” He grinned down at her and tried to ruffle her hair. Aiko dodged and hissed at him.

Kon might not have been en...

Chapter 51

Once Aiko had managed to wrestle down her offended feelings, she had to acknowledge that it was for the best that they didn’t think of her as one of them. Despite her cultural background, she wasn’t. The crucial thing was that...

Rustling outside woke Aiko in the night. She opened her eyes and laid still for a moment to get her bearings, reaching out with chakra.

‘It’s outside. On the walls. A shinobi is here that I don’t know’

The group was finally able to have their first strategy meeting that evening, once the household had been sequestered for the night.

The river had overrun for kilometers and ruined a perfectly good farming hamlet. They were lucky enough that the water had drained away, leaving scores of dead fish to stink in the sun and struggle for life in the puddles that were shrinki...
