I’ve been reading Baby Blue and didn’t know To Teach the Sun existed and now I’m kicking myself cuz that fic is like the fluff fix after reading Baby Blue for angst. Thank you so much for both of them!

this is so wonderfully sweet! thank you so much, dear anon!

"to teach the sun" was the first jjk fic I started to work on. It's very light-hearted and was sort of written to help me cope with everything going on in the manga lol!! but I'm used to writing longer, more convoluted stories. So I started baby blue so I could still use those longfic muscles. I'm very glad to hear that you enjoy both and that they sort of balance each other out!

when I'm writing I usually work on the ttts chapter after baby blue since i end up upsetting myself with baby blue X) helps me readjust myself ig and it's so funny to hear that the same is true for you!

thank you so so much for this lovely comment! I'm very glad that you liked and I hope you continue to enjoy!

Not really an ask but I was rereading baby blue (yes I’m obsessed) and on chapter 6 I saw you wrote

“Megumi combs his fingers through his bangs. The hair slicks back, pressed to his scalp, and he suddenly looks much older.”

I couldn’t help but notice this seems an awful lot like a jjk manga reference 😂 (chapter 212 continues to haunt my dreams)

can’t wait for chapter 10, I love ur writingggg!!

you're such an observant reader! I will say that I didn't have 212 in mind specifically, moreso just the general jokes about Megumi looking like Toji when his hair is wet/straightened, but if it makes me sound smarter than I am yes,, it's a reference to 212

thank you so so so much for this wonderful comment! so kind! i appreciate you taking the time to reach out so much and I hope you continue to enjoy!

aaa thank you so much! I really really appreciate it! I'm so honored to hear that you've enjoyed the fic that much. I think I still have a lot to learn and a lot to refine, especially with pacing and characterization (looking at Yuji specifically lol) and I really hope you'll enjoy the direction the story goes in. I'm very honored that my work has been able to inspire you and I wish you the best on your own creative journey!

*Sees Baby Blue update* My crops have been watered and blessed . Also I fully agree with you on editing being the longest part of the writing process. I think my longest editing session for a chapter was like a month and a half.

aaa thank you so much! 😳😳😳 I'm so glad you enjoyed! thank you very much for following along with the story. I hope it continues to entertain!

and ugh yes! I hate editing! But I've also realized that I hate having a beta even more lol. Not sure what it is about not having 100% control over the story that sort of stresses me out. I guess for now I'll just polish up my own fics unless I meet some really stellar beta but for now,,, I'm my own worst critic (literally. i never catch typos)

thank you for his lovely comments, anon! I hope you continue to enjoy!

hellooo! thank you for updating baby blue, I just wanted to know when will we be having another Gojo pov? :)) I enjoy reading his side of the story because it shows that megumis perspective of gojo is just sooo wrong, mainly because gojo low key sucks at just saying what he feels and always hides under humor when he shouldn’t be :,)

thank you so much hehe :) I'm very glad you've been enjoying the fic so far! Regarding another Gojo POV....I'd say maybe chapter 11 or 12? Chapter 10 is going to focus mostly on Nanami, with some Nobara+Yuji shenanigans and a little bit of Megumi's issues on the side too lol. I can't wait to go back to his POV but I want to delay it just a little while longer so when we get to it it's as sweet as possibel >:)

thank you so much for reaching out and leaving such kind words! I hope you continue to enjoy!

First of all I would totally read a Totk Zelink unrequited fic. But also I wanna gush about how wonderful Ch. 9 of Baby Blue was. That whole Nanami segment was ❤️❤️❤️. Also Megumi plz that’s Yuji’s dad.

this is such a lovely thing to say !! thank you so so so much! I've been thinking of writing that totk unrequited zelink fic for at least a year now. I haven't been able to get to it because of the charity zine/uni/volunteering/bedrotting on the days where i would have time to do so but it's something I can't get out of my head. maybe after I take my MCAT?

AND WAAAAH i'm so so glad you liked chapter 9! I feel bad bc I realize how just how slow chapters 7, 8 and 9 have been so I hope to pick up the pace and have stuff start happening in chapter 10. thank you so much for the lovely ask! i hope you continue to enjoy!

If you don’t mind I’m interested in Megumi and Mai interactions. 2 zenin kids who love their sisters and never wanted to be sorcerers but Megumi was blessed with Gojo and the clan technique. I think it would be a neat thing, but I’m a terrible writer lol.

OH I didn't even think of this!! What a brilliant idea! Okay yeah we can 100% work in some megumi-mai discussion. I think they'd both get something good out of it, even if the interaction itself goes...badly... >:)

I’ve got to shout out your 1st year trio friendship. Hopefully I’m not spoiling anyone lol. But the way Nobara and Yuji react to Megumi up and leaving is so in character. I’ve been so focused on Gojo’s reaction but seeing them be angry is great and so teenag-ery. Especially my girl Nobara. Her and Megumis relationship is glossed over a lot but she relays on him too!

WAAAH thank you so so much! I'm so glad you like these three! I think I mentioned this in one of my comment replies on,,, uh,,,, ch8? i think? but I'm not super confident in my Yuji characterization tbh. I feel like I make him a little too soft and I'm trying to find a way to make him brotherly and clingy without turning him into an overly mushy character. He still has some of that teenage arrogance and I want to figure out how that can come out in an organic way. But I am SO glad that you're enjoying it so far. It really means a lot and I'm so encouraged by these kind words!!

I hope you continue to enjoy! Please stay tuned for chapter 10 haha!

So I know the endpoint is that Gojo and Megumi are big dummies that need each other, but I can’t help but think of the meme about Megumis test scores making him seem more like a Kyoto student over a Tokyo one. So I’m hoping it’s not all bad for the poor boy over in there.

HAHAHAHA I think I've seen the same meme you're talking about! Finally Megumi will get to learn what a derivative is. Gojo is a great sorcerer but I can't imagine that he's the best math teacher out there.

I'm not planning for the Kyoto switch to be the greatest thing for him (after all, the Tokyo campus is where he's supposed to be) but I really adore the idea of him finally, for once, understanding the class material he's given. That's honestly hilarious.

Thank you for the great ask! I hope you'll like chapter 10 when it finally comes out!

If you’re taking Kyoto requests, then I can’t wait till there are character interactions. Your fic actually pointed out that Megumi has barely any connections there so seeing him interact with Kamo Utahime, Mai would be interesting. Also he’ll be in an environment where Gojo hate seems to be the norm and higher ups have more say.

Oh yes yes this is such a great idea! I have ideas here and there on how he can interact with all of the Kyoto school kids and I like this idea a lot. I'm kind of leaning towards the interactions being,,, less than great,,, but we'll see how it pans out. Megumi sort of has a mind of his own so sometimes when I'm writing the fic it starts going in a way I didn't anticipate lol

I can't say that I thought about how he's in an environment where Gojo is broadly disliked. That's such a good point. Definitely going to have to work that in somehow.

Thanks for this great ask! You've given me a lot to think about. I hope you continue to enjoy the story!
