Thought I'd start posting a little chart of how far along I am in updating stories! Here they are:

Silence of the Flowers [12] - Haven't written anything yet, pretty good idea of what's happening next though.

Much Ado About Everything [3] - Done maybe about 10%, on pause.

Carved on the Pine [3] - 15%, hit a roadblock recently. Ugh.

If it's not mentioned here it means I either haven't made any progress on the next chapter or I'm not actively thinking about it.

Yooo, what's up? I joined back in 2015 to post my first fic on AFF (I was 13, lol). I've actually been writing fanfics on the net since I was 11, mostly on anime. Since then I've been writing continuously, mostly as a creative outlet. I do try to update as fast as I can, though life gets in the way sometimes. Never stops me from resurfacing though, heh. You can't get rid of me that easily.

Infamously known in the fandom for writing super heart-wrenching angst who has made grown adults cry—just an FYI before you click on my stories. A lot of the topics I explore are very sensitive, do heed carefully (I always put content warnings for your safety). My special interest is exploting human emotions & psychology; it's a bit weird to say I study the latter to invoke tears, but that's me for you.

Anyways, a little bit about me (yes, run away it's terrifying):

Name: I'm Eku.
Age: I encompass all time and space. Kidding, I'm a 02er.
Hobbies: Story & worldbuilding, fascinated by it ever since I was young. More thinking than writing though. It's a curse.
Favourites: Philosophies and the human mind, the musicians EXO, Brockhampton, Frank Ocean, Tyler the Creator, Joji, Dean... I can go on honestly, I like alt rnb and hip hop. Oh, and mac and cheese.
Biases: Exclusively an EXO stan, so it's Baekhyun and Chanyeol, with Baekhyun being the supreme ult though (can you guess? Baekhyun, "baekyuu"... yeah you get it). I'm also a really big fan of Dean. Like, an unbeliveably huge fan. I mostly listen to underground K so my playlist would consist of DPR, Radmuseum, Fanxychild, stuff like that.

Currently I'm in my gap year. I'm constantly dealing with debilitating mental health probems, so unfortunately updates aren't as frequent as I'd like them to be, but I do come back sometimes to check out comments and such. I give each one an upvote and I try my best to reply to every single one, because it's important for me to give something back. Thank you very much for your upvotes and comments, and it keeps me motivated to update. Thank you guys ♡

Oh and by the way, I'm a guy. Apparently a lot of people find that shocking? I dunno, I'll just put this tidbit here. Fun fact I guess (it's honestly not that interesting, lol).

NOTE: I don't accept translations or archiving! I used to, but not anymore - please don't ask. I understand that you want to reach out to others to read my stories, but y'know, links exist. Don't take credit for my works either (or anyone else's work for that matter), I chew people out when I find out they steal another person's work. It doesn't help you develop your own writing, and people usually find out later anyway. Seriously, don't.

Featured stories, aka my most popular works:

☆ Jag-eun [the one I wrote when I was 13 and my first story... whew, still can't believe it was featured, haha]
☆ The Traits of a Lover [my most ambitious and longest story yet - probably the most polished one too, I'm proud of this one]

Aaand my most favourite work to date, not necessarily the most popular:

Silence of the Flowers [M-rated]

You can reach out to me on twitter! Or ask me questions on curiouscat. I sometimes crosspost on AO3, under the same name. I don't bite, seriously. I also accept all friend requests. PMs are welcome. Oh yeah, fanarts are totally welcome too! If you draw something based off of my writing, I'd love to see it.
