Author has written 8 stories for Skullgirls, and X-Com.

Hello, hello, welcome to my humble page. I'm here to have fun and maybe make a few others happy while I'm doing it. I do my best to stick to canon while adding my own characterizations; ultimately, I'm writing for me. I'm pretty soft and think of the good in the world and my stories will definitely reflect that. I enjoy thinking that maybe things could be a little better, you know? Even if there's a lot of suffering to go through before we can get to that coveted happy ending. The "Fuck-it Adjustment" may or may not play a huge part in my writing process.

Updates on Sympathy for the Devil are purely on a "when I write them" basis. I take things at a pace that won't burn me out so you guys can keep getting what you came for. This is also my first time writing a story so long, so there's some hurdles there to overcome. Not gonna fall out with the story by any means, so don't worry about that.

Critique is welcome, so long as you've got a good understanding of what Sympathy for the Devil is--a tentative reform and found family story. The fighting is not what I'm really focusing on--it's the emotional stakes and the relationships between characters on the Avenger, as well as the Chosen coping with how they were "raised."

My favorite characters number too many to list! But, relevant to my current work? I quite like the Warlock.

If you want, you can follow my writing process over on my blog on Tumblr. My username is grace-kohai and my tag for writing is #grace-is-writing-for-once. I can also be found at Ao3, under the name bodaciouslyDauntless.

Supplemental stories and material for Sympathy for the Devil can be found on the official SFTD blog on Tumblr, sftd-official.

Chosen by Guixi reviews
Butcher. Wraithmaiden. Sister. All of them become synonymous to an incorruptible focus and a swift death that is the Chosen Assassin.

Sympathy for the Devil reviews
Most, when presented with ADVENT, would not hesitate to ring the death knell for them. The Elders fully expect this as XCOM draws closer to the Hunter's Stronghold. But when faced with a fate far different than what they ever could have imagined, how will the Chosen react in the face of it? Where will their future lead?

Vengeance in Red reviews
Maxim believes he knows what he fights for and who his enemy is. ADVENT were the invaders, XCOM were the ones trying to get them out. But how much does that hold up under some scrutiny and good old-fashioned brainwashing?

Rainy Nights and Emergencies reviews
Sure, Peacock was known for the occasional nightly outing without telling anyone. Sure, she usually comes back from them just fine. That never stops Big Band from worrying, and lately he's found that more and more of his worries are grounded in reality.

Take it Back reviews
While it rarely happens, Peacock and Big Band do get in fights with each other. This time, Peacock goes too far.

Laziness and Odd Naps reviews
Today's the day Big Band was supposed to take most of Lab 8 out to the park. Yet, nobody knows where he is.

Working at her Craft reviews
Peacock has several ways to spend her free time. One of them sounds very unlikely…

Music can bond hearts together and lift spirits to new heights. Big Band knows this all too well.
