The Way, the truth, and the lightsaber

Title: The Way, the truth, and the lightsaber
Author: Timothy Wren
Fandom: Naruto, Star Wars/The Mandalorian
Relationships: Hatake Kakashi/Momochi Zabuza
Notes/Warnings: Imprisonment, Meet Cute, Discussions of Violence, Mandalorian Culture & Mando’a Language
Word Count: 1,200 (complete)
Summary: The man in manacles shifted, looking up with a dirty face– Zabuza inhaled roughly. Silver eyes pierced him in place, intense on a face that had seen better days. He had a black eye that was only just starting to fade.

“Not a jetii.” He croaked, from a bone-dry throat. “Mandalorian.”

Love (who art a light to guide)

Title: Love (who art a light to guide)
Author: Timothy Wren
Fandom: Naruto
Relationship: Hatake Kakashi/Momochi Zabuza,
Genre: Anime, Romance, Sentinel/Guide
Warnings: Sentinel/Guides are known, canon-typical violence, canon-typical references to ANBU, non-graphic child murder, Zabuza’s canon backstory (of child murder, as a child)
Word Count: 3,815 (complete)
Summary: The only reason Hatake Kakashi’s page in the bingo book read “kill on sight” instead of “flee on sight” was because it was fucking useless to flee from a half-feral Sentinel.

There’s just one problem

May 2021 Updates

April & May 2021: in review. Here’s what I’ve been up to lately.

Learning the Ropes

Series: Ready, Player: Number One Hero
Episode: 02
Fandom: BNHA/Boku No Hero Academia
Relationship: TBD

Ready Player: Number One Hero (Series)

Title: Ready Player: Number One Hero
Author: Timothy Wren
Fandom: BNHA/Boku No Hero Academia
Relationship: TBD
Genre: Adventure, Crossover, Anime
Rating: T for now.
Current Word Count: 5,156
Warnings: Explicit language, violence, video game mechanics
Author’s Note: I’ve always adored reading The Gamer fics and crossovers, but writing one has always been too tedious to attempt. After a lot of false starts and fits over the years, I’ve finally got this one going, I think. Despite usually trying to only put completed fics up on my webpage, this will be in chunks called episodes, and it is a WIP. You’ve been warned.

Enter: The Gamer

Title: Enter: The Gamer
Author: Timothy Wren
Series: Ready, Player: Number One Hero
Episode: 1
Fandom: BNHA/Boku No Hero Academia
Relationship: TBD
Word Count: 5,156
Warnings: Canon-typical violence, some body horror due to Sludge Villain (graphic beginning scene), canon-typical sludge-down-throat, mentions of drowning, mentions of suicide (canon).
Author’s Note: This will be up on Ao3 when it’s complete, or at least closer to complete, but I wanted to go ahead and post the first few episodes just to see how it looks on my website. I actually just spent over half an hour just formatting this (center+bold wouldn’t transfer over in the copy+paste anywhere) so that’s going to need to change before I post the rest. Comments welcome, concrit not.

Bakugou Katsuki’s Birthday

April 20th is Bakugou Katsuki’s birthday. Bakugou is a character from Boku no Hero Academia that I did not intend to love. A lot of people have a lot of negative things to say about him and his character, but I fell hard and fast for that characterization.

In this post: why I love him, and an art/writing Bingo challenge for his birthday.

Spring Character Shorts

Character-specific writing prompts are now available in the forum (“Dragon’s Rest”) as a writing challenge. The blurb from the Rules of Engagement, explaining the rules of the challenge: “Spring Character Shorts” is a writing challenge. Prompts will be posted daily throughout the second half of March 2021, though there is no deadline. This means ones a prompt is posted, you can make an attempt for it at any time. To meet the challenge you must choose a character from any of your fandom who meets the prompt– in your opinion– and write a piece about them. The piece should be…

The Beginning

As you can see, I have finally, after much deliberation, made my own website. If you’re reading this, you’re either buckling in for the ride at the beginning of this journey, or looking back on it through the lens of time and– hopefully– admiring how far the site has come since its inception. While I fiddle with background images and headers, I am keeping in mind the main portions of the site, and the reasons for which it was created: first, as a place to showcase my personal writing, and then the forum which will become a home for the…
