goldfish400hide bio
 Author has written 31 stories for Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, and Moana. Hi! I'm Cindy, and this is my backup account for most of my stories. I write mainly for Moana now, but if you dig back through my older stuff you'd be able to see that I used to write for Gravity Falls and Steven Universe as well. Moana and Maui are my dear sweet precious children, and since I have a weakness for the found family trope, a good number of my stories will revolve around these two finding family in another. I'm mostly into writing fluff, but I've also got a soft spot for hurt/comfort stories, so be on the lookout for some of those as well. Everything I write regarding Moana and Maui will remain strictly platonic and familal. I do love writing them being affectionate, but please be aware that shipping them makes me feel uncomfortable for personal reasons and you're probably never going to get any romantic stories out of me for them. Other accounts I post my stories to are my Tumblr and my AO3, which both have a much higher priority over this website when it comes to posting. If you look through my AO3 profile, you'll see a number of stories I forgot or chose not to post here, and if you look through my Tumblr you'll see I have more stories up than my account and my AO3 profile combined. Come over to my other profiles and say hi! I'm always up for chatting :) Tumblr: masterwayfinders AO3: paperjamBipper |

Kama'aina – Child of the Land by Child of Mars reviews
Maui's fists clenched. "Why…" the word hurt. It was thick, guttural. He felt as if his heart was bleeding. If he stopped now, he might cry in front of this old dead lady. He choked and tried again.

Somebody Worthy of Being Saved reviews
Tala's only ever thought of Maui as a selfish trickster. She grew up her entire life believing he didn't care for anyone but himself, and as the woman who watched him abandon Moana to the sea, Tala was convinced Maui was unable to change.

It Could've Been Great reviews
It's no secret that Maui's fascinated by humanity. He's always been. But it's not until after he meets Moana that he realizes his fascination is far more complicated than he could ever imagine. It lies not only in how they live, how they're constantly growing and changing, but it also lies in who they grow up with. Who helps shape them to be the person they are. It lies in family.

Going a thousand years without any form of physical affection can really tend to leave a person craving it. Moana gets that. But what she doesn't know, what she isn't aware of, is that just two years out of her best friend's company is apparently long enough to leave her craving it, too.

She Cares For You reviews
In the novelization of the movie, Maui describes a conversation he has with Mini Maui after he leaves Moana's boat after his fish hook is cracked. Here's my interpretation of a closer look at this conversation. The sentences in italcs that act as their own paragraphs indicate Mini Maui is speaking. Moana is mentioned a lot, but she never has any speaking lines.
