Hi there! I'm Zaki (زكي), a 25 y/o bi trans man (with raging AuDHD) writing the queer romance I want to see in the world. You can find me on AO3 here. I almost exclusively write queer sci-fi fics and here you'll mostly find Mass Effect and Voltron content. You can also call me Moss.

If there’s an accessibility issue on one of my posts or fics (trigger tag requests, alt text, visual or audio description tag requests, captions, etc) please don’t hesitate to let me know so I can rectify the situation.

I write canon compliant with occasional minor tweaks which are noted in the tags. For all my works and series, I also typically to write smut scenes/fics in a way that they can be skipped over without losing too much context from the larger narrative. That being said, I also do write the occasional PWP. All smut is clearly marked as such.

I ask that minors do NOT engage with any of my 18+ content, particularly my E rated fics. Any content I feel is raunchy will be tagged as “#for the adults” for the sake of filtering convenience. Anything I’d consider strictly 18+ will be marked mature and thus should not appear to minors and be censored for adults. Additionally, please do not DM me if you are a minor.

Not pro-ship, not anti-ship, but a secret third thing.

Housekeeping and directories are under the cut.

HAPPY TRANS VISIBILITY DAY!!

Friendly reminder that whenever I draw Keith, he’s TRANS💙🤍🩷

Hey so if you get your Jaith fix fics from me, just know Elon Musk, Trump, and their cuts are what’s delaying everything. Do with this information what you will.

Seriously, they’ve made it near impossible to get a job for both me and my wife so I’ve been refocusing all my creative efforts on shit I can sell. That’s why March Whumpness just kinda didn’t happen. (It will, I promise so hard they’ll get done… at some point).

But yeah this shit is what I’ve been up to if anyone was curious

keith, who despite living in the castle for months, kept his room barren. he’s used to being on the move. the foster system doesn’t let you create sentimental items or heirlooms.

keith, who would rather store his belongings in red. his safe place. nobody can touch him in red, he can take her anywhere. he can run from anything.

keith, who doesn’t bring anything to the blade of marmora. just the clothes on his back and his mother’s knife. there is no comfort in war.

keith, who wore two dogs tags despite never being an official military officer. one for his brother, and one for his brother-in-law. he claimed that it was shiro’s, and whatevers his is keith’s, but he knew better.

jaith studying together except james gets lost in keiths big puppydog eyes and they end up sucking face instead. send post

james griffin

the one keith had a true rivalry with.

they were just boys. confused and angry with the world. james has so much to live up to. and yet he is overlooked, because their hero favors another boy.

he works so hard, and is it all for nothing? stuck as another nameless top of the class. it means nothing in the end. kogane is the only noteable one. the brilliant pilot who flunked out.

and now he’s back, with a grizzled new look and fancy new ship. he saved the universe. and what are you? another faceless nameless pilot. except keith also didn’t ask for it. he never meant to be so… alien.

you can’t even be angry at him. you’ve always wanted to be him. maybe he wanted to be you.

the "people in real life: hey how's it going" meme is incredible because when it hits it hits so well and really strips down meaningless discourse that doesn't matter to the clown show it is but every now and then someone adds it to a real thing that people definitely are talking about in real life, so instead that person shows their whole ass in how much of a unaware bubble they live in (and the arrogance to assume anything that doesn't affect them personally doesn't exist) so even when it misses it hits. just hits the person who wields it.

s8 jaith where james is just a dick, really. he’ll go and kiss keiths kneck until it turns him on and just leaves. pulls him into a supply closet for a sloppy makeout just to leave him high and dry. fingers trailing down keith’s back during a meeting, playing with his belt loops. but they don’t have any free time really. so by the time keith gets back, he’s so fucking pent up and needs some stress relief. 👀

Hmm someone should write that

like, okay, consent does literally just mean agree. which is what enables this little rhetorical trick. because there's all this cultural emphasis on sexual consent, which is just expressed as consent, a lot of phrases whose intended meanings are "rape is bad" can be taken literally to mean "i should get to agree to everything that happens in my vicinity."

for an example, "i didn't agree to seeing you wear that shirt" is straightforwardly a fucking insane thing for someone to say, but people regularly make use of this trick to make the (functionally identical) statement "i didn't consent to seeing that"

Strongly recommend that people familiarize themselves with the white supremacist concept of "right to comfort" because of how scarily that concept aligns with this behavior

THIS is where the logic comes from that drives misogynistic control of what women wear, how fat people exist in public, how disabled people exist in public, miscontrues kink-related fashion as the same as sex itself, and prevents people breastfeeding their children in clean environments.

Its interesting what demographics are effected most negatively by this huh
