damnfooltalkTotal August wordcount: 9,433 words
IN PROGRESS [all titles are working titles unless noted otherwise, titles are typically the last thing I come up with]
- Dungeonstuck AU: Titled! Is now "Sung me moon-struck" .... and coming up with a title is all I've done with it in August :T Did manage 195 new words in July though, yippee.
- Founders Era fix-it: 8,845 words ~dances~
- Orochimaru spite fix-it: 469 words + a character bio, so I'll call that decent
- Random fragments: 119 words
... just noticed I've got two fix-it AUs and one ... idek how to describe "Sung me moon-struck" besides a sort of fantasy setting AU framing an exploration of just how comprehensively psychologically fucked most <s> all </s> of the canon characters are.

Founders Era fix-it:
"Whether it's a true curse or not is beside the point," Madara huffed. "The fact remains that we are a volatile people, and if pushed too far that volatility turns to madness."
"I understand that," Haruka returned, looking at him steadily. He opened his mouth as if to argue and she shook her head, cutting him off and saying slowly, deliberately, as if it would make the words sink in better. "You are hardly the only family in the world with a strain of madness running through it."
Orochimaru spite fix-it:
"Wait, that's how you've been writing Kawaseki this whole time?"
Chisaki grinned over her shoulder at the mildly scandalized copy-nin. "My dad thinks he's funny," she told him.
Kakashi shook his head, eye still fixed on the kanji boldly declaring this the passport, not of Chisaki River-stone, as he had expected, a fairly common River Country surname, but of Chisaki River-Lizard. "And your mother didn't object to him compromising your cover for a pun?"
She pursed her lips thoughtfully. "You know, you'll never get her to admit it but I think she enjoyed feeling like she was getting away with something. Being away from Kiri has been good for them, I think. It sounds like the place has been a shitshow and only got worse after they left."
"You're not interested in seeing where your family came from?" he asked, tone mild.
Chisaki snorted. "Considering I'm pretty sure any clans with kekkei genkai that didn't get out got murdered en masse when I was in elementary school and the same kage is in charge still? I'm good, thanks."
Kakashi tipped his head lazily, none-too subtly looking over the rest of her paperwork over her shoulder. "Maa, fair enough."
