Thank you very much for offering, your art is lovely! If we do change the event, artists won't be excluded, the roles will just be a little different for both writers and artists than they would be in a traditional bang- so you'd be able to write or draw, or both if you wanted!

My Matchablossom bang fic is about to go live! If you wanna see teenage Kaoru and Kojiro dare each other into sexual shenanigans, keep an eye on this space!

And also keep an eye out for my partner @vampyrslutton.bsky.social's amazing art for this fic!

Matchablossom Bang, posting in May
Snippet:

“You back off,” Kojiro retorts, leaning in harder so Kaoru’s head is forced back a little. “I got here first—”

“No, I got here first, stop following me—”

“You’re the one who’s following me—”

Kaoru presses his forehead back against Kojiro’s, but the stupid lump’s head must be made of stone because he doesn’t budge. Instead, his eyes dart down, flicking to Kaoru’s lips as if he has to see them move to understand his words. Thickhead. Kaoru’s about to say as much when he notices Kojiro’s scowl tilt up into a grin, the beginnings of his gonna-do-something-extra-stupid expression, and Kaoru feels a rush of adrenaline in his veins even before he knows what Kojiro’s about to do, which is—

“What the fuck!” Kaoru reels back in shock. His lips tingle from the phantom pressure of—of—“Did you just…just kiss me?”
