Hey there. I’m a guy who really likes to read fanfiction. I like reading them a lot. That’s primarily the reason why I have an account – so I can keep up with all the fanfics I like to read.

‘Course, that’s not all I like to do! There are a multitude of other things I like to do in my spare time: spriting, making sprite comics, and playing video games. For that matter, the Nintendo Switch is like one of the most amazing consoles I’ve ever had the pleasure of having. No contest.

I have a few favorite fandoms, too. When it comes to writing fanfiction, you’ll generally see me writing the most for Kirby, Super Mario Bros., Persona, and Danganronpa, though I’m not remiss to branching out every now and again. I also hold interests in Sonic the Hedgehog, Kingdom Hearts, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and several other properties (the likes of which you can generally find under my favorites).

My upload schedule can be pretty wonky, in part due to my finicky motivation, in part thanks to my attending college as of August 2020. My current main project is But the Fates Aren’t Done With Me Yet, though I’m not opposed to uploading one-shots and other fics in the meantime. Oh, and as a heads up: I do like my fair share of TG/transgender content, so don’t be too surprised if those pop up on my account, too.

In addition, I like to do rapid-fire edits. All the time. Tell me ‘bout a problem or a typo, and I’ll get it fixed in record time.

I have an account over on DeviantART under the username of FieryExplosion, so check me out there. I also publish fics on Archive of Our Own under FierySprites too. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy all that I have to offer!

My Fanfic Series

Make a Friend series (Kirby):

“There’s nothing wrong with having a lot of good friends!”

On Planet Pop Star, impossible miracles are regularly born and evil bad guys routinely invade. But to Kirby, that doesn’t matter. So long as he’s happy and he’s got his friends by his side, everything will be alright. (Because who says the Power of Friendship can’t save the day?)

A series of Kirby fics set in the same universe, starring Kirby, his many allies, and their bonds across a wide assortment of adventures. A sassy Kirby and a friendly Dedede take center stage, alongside Adeleine, Ribbon, and a whole host of friends from a multiverse encompassing the Gamble Galaxy and beyond.

This series chronologically consists of:

Prequel Era Fics:
- The First Rival
- As the Spring Breeze Blows
- Flying into the Fray
- All According to Plan
- Intro to Painting
- United by the Crystal Shards
- Two Trouble Kings
- A Knightly Greeting
- One Last Time, I’ll Fight
- The First Signs of Forgiveness
- Eyes in the Skies
- In Times of Crisis
- Remnants of a Virtual Nightmare
- Regret for a Dream
- Printing Practice

Star Allies-centric Fics:
- An Artist, a Thief, and… a Villain?
- Sisters Out of Their Element
- I’m Not Entirely Okay, But I’ll Get There
- Helper to Ally
- We’re All Friends Here
- A Void in the Dark
- Grit Your Teeth and Go

Friendship Saga Fics:
- From a Mirror, I Call Your Name
- Harmony Never Really Dies
- Are You a Friend, Too?
- Star Allies, Unite!
- bear this torch against the cold of the night
- Smile for the Sake of Everyone
- Those I Want to Protect
- Twinkle, Twinkle
- Cast a Light Above the Stars
- Of Magic, Matter, and Miracles
- Kirby: Harmonic Resonance

Italics denote fics yet to be written.

The Kirby franchise is one of my favorite fandoms, and there’s a lot of untapped writing potential based on the material HAL Laboratory have given us. Originally, this was a relatively self-contained set of fics, but before I knew it, it blossomed into this massive world – and I couldn’t be any more prouder of it.

This series, while primarily focusing on the sixteen main Star Allies, does feature plenty of settings and characters from other franchises: Danganronpa, Super Mario Bros., the list goes on. What can I say, I like writing crossovers – and besides, everything mixes well with Kirby. Everything.

C’mon, you can’t disagree with me.

This is my main fanfic ‘verse, and as such, I typically take priority writing for this series more than I do any of my others. Star Allies, Unite! and Harmony Never Really Dies are the current mainline projects for this series. Are You a Friend, Too? is on temporary hiatus until completion of both.

A Goddess in Reality series (Persona):

The misadventures of Mariko Kusumi (formerly Minato Arisato) and Elizabeth as they venture throughout the world giving everybody within range a massive freaking headache.

Stories are listed in rough chronological order.

- A Goddess in Reality (1/1)
- A Goddess’s Arena (1/3)
- A Goddess Living Life (0/4)
- bear this torch against the cold of the night

A Goddess’s Arena is the primary ongoing fic in this series. Updates will occur irregularly from my usual schedule.

This series is undergoing a massive overhaul; the numbers in parentheses represent which chapters have been rewritten to match the new canon.

Hope’s Peak Academy Crossover Chronicles (Danganronpa):

Hope’s Peak Academy has always been a little weird. It comes with the territory: talent naturally begets eccentricity.

It’s just that this eccentricity, apparently, also beget other worlds.

Between Class 78’s extraterrestrial adventures and Class 77-B’s carousel of shenanigans, it’s safe to say that Hope’s Peak has become quite the nexus of fate. A universe of wonders awaits—and I, for one, am happy to see where this journey will take us.

(But who’s to say that all of this is really just a series of coincidences…?)

Stories are listed in recommended reading order.

Main Stories:
- Class 78’s Face-Off Hope Romp
- Class 78’s Cruise Liner Hope Party
- Class 78’s Hopefully Heartening Halls
- Some Things, We’ll Save Ourselves
- All the Same Paths…
- …Lead to a Different Outcome
- Class 78’s Time-Droppin’ Hope Finale

Side Stories:
- Regrow Factor
- Class 77’s Ultimate Hope Steak-Off
- Cards Down
- [TBA]

Class 78’s Face-Off Hope Romp is the primary ongoing fic in this series. Currently on hiatus until the completion of other major fics.

This series will sporadically update whenever I find the inspiration.

The Many Ways V3 Could’ve Gone Wrong (Danganronpa):
