Don't forget the drag queens.
Same! It's like exercising: once I start, I'll find my groove, but I can find a thousand ways to avoid getting started.
An island research facility prying open the universe's secrets.
Hundreds of failed experiments still roaming its corridors.

Yokai mythology, dual POV, liminal worlds, restrained slow-burn, duty and choice, earned trust. Shadow of the Fox x An Ember in the Ashes x Divine Rivals. Dark images of forests with eyes looming in the trees, a man with a katana, a torii gate, and an empty bullet train station.
A grieving girl and a duty-bound shinobi are drawn into a generational mystery rooted in the divide between human and spirit realms. As the walls between worlds collapse, they must decide whether saving both worlds means mending fractures or severing them entirely. #WSPit #WIPSnips #Q #YA #NA #F
