    Summary

    chiaroscuro: the interplay of darkness and light.

    --

    “We’re called guardians,” Kuro says. “Over time, people have had different names for us, but it really all comes back to that. We’re shifters, shaper-changers… the name doesn’t really matter. What does is that we’re supposed to keep the two kinds of magical forces in the world balanced.” He rattles this off with a roll of his eyes, as though it’s something he’s heard many times over.

    Kenma thinks back to the curling snake made of shadows, to Sugawara’s words: People who shine brightly attract a lot of darkness.

    “Shadows and light,” he says, not quite a question.

    Kuro nods approvingly. “Basically, yeah. There’s a bit more to it than that—shadow magic is born of independence, of isolation and loneliness. Light magic is connections, the relationships between people. Most people have a low dose of both, go through their entire lives not realizing there’s magic in the world.”

    “But not you,” Kenma prompts.

    “Unfortunately.”

    Summary

    I am discontinuing writing 00Q, because I'm not really feeling this fandom. However, I am a method ficcer, meaning I put a lot of effort into getting into my characters' heads when I'm writing them, and therefore do a lot of research for ficcing. I think some of what I learned might also be helpful for other writers in 00Q, so I decided to put them all in a post.

    Some (but not all) topics covered here are: intercepting mobile calls, getting on secured wifi, lock picking, fighting, explosives, manipulating the the power grid, code injections, biometric security, and where to learn about computer security in general.
