#AND I LOVE HOW EIJI IS ONE OF THE FIRST TO NOTICE THAT !!

[kaiisers]

so since I’ve been rewatching bnha I just can’t get over certain characters’ facial expressions in the first season, but this one…

little gremlin looks so fucking unhinged, like sir he’s ready to go, should we unleash him now???

[ryotono]

Hashiras/Pillars reacting to a [Y/N] having three husband's (like Uzui lol) pt2!

The Part One!

Reader's here is GN!

Enjoy!

Ft. Uzui (THE MAN HIMSELF), Mitsuri and Rengoku!

AN: in the Uzui and Rengoku parts there are mentions of violence, especially against dilfs

Satoshi is known to practice archery as a hobby, being your most reserved and serious husband, he is already used to dealing with more critical situations, but sometimes stress makes him anxious and he calms himself by practicing in the backyard. Often you and your other husbands get together and watch him practice, it helps calm him down.

Eiji is recognized for his skill with wood carvings. Coming from a family of woodcutters he is already used to using an axe, so is usually seen on the porch carving something in the wood, being her loudest and easily irritated husband, he is quite calm when he works.

(He's the one who break down the wall in the first part)

Ichigo is known to be extremely loving, especially to you and your husbands. However, he can become overprotective with his loved ones, he completely changes personality and becomes aggressive around other people who try to hurt you. And it's worse by the fact that he knows Martial Arts.

(He's the one who growls at Sanemi)

So imagine that they all got the opportunity to demonstrate their skills to your comrade Hashiras.

ik you all waiting for him hihi

See, you two are not really close before

Just some talking in the Hashira meeting

You then were sent on a mission to a far village, hoping it would be something simple.

Poor you

You were surprised by not just one demon, but five of them

It should be easy to cut their heads off if they don't keep running from you.

Uzui was sent for backup

You barely exchanged words, just informed him about the demons

In the middle of the battle you noticed that there were still many civilians there, you quickly ordered something for your crow which took off in a hurry

You two continues the fight

A demon was about to attack you from behind, an arrow hit him in the throat making him fall before you.

You quickly turned around and cut off the head.

Uzui was confused at first, where even that arrow came from?

He sees a young man running to you, asking if you are okay, then he introduces himself to Uzui as Satoshi, your husband

Well, that's was unexpected

Continuing the fight, your husband accompanies the two of you in the fight and helps with the demons.

But Uzui was amazed by Satoshi's talent with the bow, the fact that he can keep up with and protect two Hashiras was something brilliant

Two more young men appears

And also introduce themselves as your husbands

He's more confused??

You explained that you called them to help get people out of the danger

Uzui already knew you were married just by seeing the ring on your finger.

But he didn't expect that he had three more of those rings

INSTANT RESPECT!!!

I mean, he thought he was the only one to have three wives, then your three husbands show up in the middle of the fight to help the citizens

Finally a worth opponent, OUR BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY!

After the battle, you weren't seriously hurt, but Satoshi and Ichigo had to help you stay on your feet

Eiji was crying at your side begging you not to die

Uzui invites you and your husbands to his estate to recover and meet his wives

You and your husbands exchange confused glances but nod with a smile.

Y'all had to calm Eiji before

He starts talking about his wives and how beautiful and very talented they are, and also threatens your husbands if they try to do anything to them (tenten my dude, they already have a owner, they not gonna flirt with pretty wives chill)

Eiji starts screaming at Uzui claiming that his lovers are the most perfect thing in the world.

The two start fighting halfway through.

In the end you all arrive at Uzui's estate and meet the wives, you all get along

Satoshi helps Hinatsuru and Makio if the cooking and cleaning, while Eiji continues some random discussion with Uzui and Ichigo remains by your side talking with Suma.

You two are now quite close, your lovers get along and often meet

Uzui likes to tease the other Hashiras about how flamboyant he and you are for having three lovers.

Nobody cares.

You happened to run into Mitsuri and Obanai while they ate together.

Since you two are close friends, she happily invites you to join them

How could you not accept it, right?

Obanai isn't happy about this at all, you just messed up his moment with Mitsuri

He stares at you thinking of murder

Kaburamaru probably hissed at you, but yeah u don't care 👍

You ask for a portion of food, and Mitsuri immediately asks how your last mission went

The two of you start talking about how your missions went, how delicious the food at that restaurant was, and how great the weather was that week

She probably talked about how cute her 4 cats are and her 5 siblings

You and Obanai just die inside of cuteness

You had already finished your meal, but you decided to stay a little longer and talk to your friend

Obanai just stay there, silent still thinking of murder

You actually tried to bring him to he conversation, asking about Kaburamaru

But instead he sends you a message mentally

"don't talk to me"

"okay"

After you all finished, you left the restaurant with Mitsuri saying that she wanted to eat some Sakura Mochi

She turned at you and ask if you want to go if her and Iguro-san to buy some

The Snake Hashira was deadly staring at you

"I would love to go Mitsu, but I'm going to meet my husband now"

Wait

Husband?

"Mitsu are you alright?" You asked her

Give her sometime, she processing

"[Y/N]-San are you married?"

"Yes? You didn't know?"

You then explain that you were already married for two years, and you imagine that all the Hashiras knew since Uzui kept asking you about

She blushes embarrassed

"I did not pay attention! I'm sorry!"

"it's okay Mitsu" You pat her head smiling

After she apologize over a million times, she asked about your husband

"Oh Eiji is awesome Mitsu! Here, look" You show her a necklace, with a heart carved in wood " He gave me this, even put our initials" (Eiji is a cliche romantic okay? give him a break)

"Aww that is so cute! What about that S and I?"

"These are my other husband's initials, Satoshi and Ichigo"

Wait what

Now even Obanai is surprised

You kind of expected this reaction from them, so you explain that you are married to three people and that you were now going to meet one of them to return home

Or was that your plan, if you didn't hear Eiji's voice calling you

And Ichigo's

And Satoshi's screaming with they

Well, unexpected but already accustomed so

Your three husbands running towards you, well, Eiji and Ichigo ran towards you while Satoshi tried to hold them back at all costs

In the end Mitsuri get to knows all your husbands

They are much taller and strong, that Mitsuri can't help thinking they are beautiful (she does that to everyone, after all she's the Love pillar)

Let's just say that all of your husband loves Mitsuri, especially Eiji since she so lovely and kind, and praise him for his work.

After that, he carve a wooden cat for her as a gift, which you give her in the next Hashira meeting

Does Obanai get jealous? Probably

But don't worry snake baby boy, Eiji made you a gift too!

Yes a snake made of wood, wow

He acts like he doesn't care, but Kaburamaru likes

So your husband gain some points

i miss him so much

Now, Rengoku knows you are married with three people

You two are actually very close!

He's even close with you husband's (your hubbies love Rengoku and his young brother fr WHO DOESN'T)

You guys know each other since your first day as a hashira, so it's been a while

Often you two are practicing together, so it's pretty normal to see him in your state, you two training in the backyard

Satoshi sometimes is making y'all some meal (he likes to cook for Rengoku, since he always praise Satoshi's food) or training his archery in the garden with you

Eiji is always in the porch, carving something or just watching you

And in your physical training, Ichigo usually helps

But, in a different way

He points out and corrects some mistakes you make, like stepping wrong on the ground can hurt a muscle

But he does it all, just sitting on the porch with Eiji

Why?

Because he was forbidden to help when you train

See, it's a long story, but in short, he used to help you two how to position yourself in a fight, and even taught some strokes

And in some of those lessons, Eiji ended up with a broken arm

How?

VERY LONG STORY, BUT JUST KNOW THAT ICHIGO HAS AN OUTSTANDING STRENGTH

And Satoshi grounded him

Ichigo is afraid of Satoshi when he is angry

Anyway, this time you were in the Rengoku's garden training, the usual you know

Senjuro like always makes you guys some tea to eat with the cookies Ichigo baked for y'all (remember what I said abou loving these two)

So after training and drinking tea, you're waiting for Ichigo to arrive so you could go home together

Even if you lives close to Rengoku he insists to come and accompany you

Rengoku and Senjuro wait with you to the entrance of the residence, talking about your training

Soon Ichigo arrives and greet everyone

"Good evening Kyoujurou-sama, hello Senjuro-kun!!" Your husband says happily, running towards the three of you, taking your hand in his

"GOOD EVENING ICHIGO-SAN"

"Hello" answer Senjuro smiling

The 4 of you start chatting happily, about training and what they thought of the cookies

Everything was great you know, but I'm here to make the CHAOS

Suddenly, the front door of the Rengoku's house was brutally opened, by none other than the boys' father

well fuck

Senjuro quickly goes to his father to ask him to calm himself, Rengoku stays by your side looking at his very angry father. Ichigo moves closer to you, and squeezes your hand protectively.

"Every day, you train with this Hashira, either here or at they house, every single day. When are you going to understand that it's no use training until fatigue, if you're going to die anyway?"

Rengoku had already told him about his father's problem with demon slayers, and now seeing his own father complaining and cursing you two for just being Hashiras, it was sad

You looked at Kyoujurou's face asking if there was anything you could do

He just looked at you, and you notice in his look "it's ok, you can go home now"

What you didn't notice, it was your husband's growing anger at the words of the older Rengoku

"We apologize for any inconvenience" You say and head out taking Ichigo with you

"I DIDN'T FINISH TALKING TO YOU" You just kept walking

"Father no!" Rengoku scream

All you heard were very loud noises and a commotion behind you, you quickly turn and face the scene

Basically

There was a drunk man lying on the floor

The front door of the house was broken

And Ichigo was in the position of someone who just punched someone

well fuck, again

"Don't you dare touch my Wife/Husband" Ichigo says angry

Senjuro runs to his father to see if he is okay, Ichigo looked at Rengoku

"I'm sorry for this"

What you don't expect was to Rengoku smiles and answer "it's okay Ichigo-san, your punch is very strong!"

You two leave after that, with Ichigo holding your hand

"please don't tell Satoshi about that"

"oh im definitely going to tell him"

"[Y/N] NOOO" Your husband screams desperately while trying to convince you.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Extra! After the Mugen train Arc

Senjuro: I'm so sorry about my father

Tanjiro: it's okay

Senjuro: but you know, it's not the first time he's been knocked out

Tanjiro: wait, who did before?

Senjuro: a very angry and protective husband

Tanjiro: what

Guess who's back, back again

I'm sorry for making you wait so long for this ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ

Life is not easy for someone who broke they arm after falling out of a car, yeah that happened

ANYWAY!

Thanks y'all so much for 100 followers!

I'm going to write for the rest of the Hashiras, don't worry (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧

I finally did Uzui's part, even though it didn't turn out so well

but meh

Hope you all enjoyed, thanks for reading! ♡

Favorite blankie.

Cg kiribakudeku x little reader (headspace around 2) where she has a favorite blankie and kiri accidently destroyed it bc he washed it wrong and when she found out she just cries and her caregivers try to comfort her and after bakugou found out what happened he take her to a store and buys her like 10 blankie, New suffies, New pacis and ice cream and kiri is so sorry about it 🥺🥺🥺

Favorite Blankets

BakuKiriDeku x Little!Reader

Is it obvious I love kirishima as a character? But I hope you enjoy thank you for the request <333. I’m still doing one request a day so I won’t burn myself out but yeah!

He knew how much the blanket meant to her, it was a gift from them after all. The first blanket she had ever received from them when they found out she was a little.

Holding the now red blanket in one hand and a pair of his red socks in the other he groaned. “What am I going to-”

“Is that what I think it is?”

The sound of Midoriya’s voice caused him to hide the blanket behind his back. “What do you think you saw?”

“That’s Y/N’s blanket, Eiji this bad!”

Having a panicking Midoriya along with a ruined blanket wasn’t helping Kirishima at all. “I know it’s bad what am I going to-”

“Blankie,” she let out the second she crawled into the laundry room. Her eyes focused on what used to be her brown blanket with teddy bears on it. Now red and in the hands of one of her caregiver’s.

If there was one thing Kirishima hated it was seeing her cry. Never had he ever been a cause for her tears before it left him frozen in place. Even as Bakugou entered the room and Midoriya explained what happened he didn’t move. Even as Bakugou and Midoriya led her out of the laundry room to try and cheer her up. He hated the feeling.

It took her hours to calm down and the only reason she did was because Bakugou and Midorya was taking her to the store. Even in her headspace she always remembered to be on her best behavior. With dry eyes she sits in the cart as Bakugou and Midorya point out different blanks, toys, and treats to her.

As she was nodding to the many things they were getting her she felt sad. Her blanket meant a lot to her but she wanted Kirishima. She didn’t feel whole when it was just three of them. She wondered if he was just as sad as her.

When they got back home she had a ton of new blankets, toys, and even snacks. Her favorite out of all of her new things was a blanket with little red sharks on it. When she saw it in the store she automatically thought of her red haired caregiver.

It had been an hour since they had gotten back from the store and she couldn’t find him. That was until she crawled into the laundry room with her blanket clutched in her hand.

There he was sitting on the floor of the laundry room with her old favorite blanket in his lap. His eyes were closed as she crawled into his lap.

Opening his eyes he felt a weight on his lap which he noticed was Y/N. Blinking he wrapped his arms around her, “hey-”

He was cut off by her raising up her new blanket with a smile, “blankie..”

The pattern caught his attention leaving him with tears in his eyes, “it’s really pretty..” he whispered with a smile.

“You.”

“Me?”

She then pointed at him then the Blankie, “love both.”

The feeling of love swelling within him, “I love you too…I’m sorry about your other blankie. I just wanted to wash it for you and I didn’t focus on the fact that I had my socks in there and it was cold wa-”

A hands covered his lips as she continued to smile, “okay.”

It was simple but it was enough to get him to pull her closer. The new blanket wrapped around her as he rocks her back and forth.

“Okay.”

[not-your-fucking-kacchan]

Can I request kirbaku x F!reader they go on vacation and have to fly there and the reader passes out out on the plane so she gets up to go to the bathroom and she passes out as soon as she gets to the front of the plane and someone screams someone passed out and they didn’t know it was her till she asks for them and she’s panicking cause she’s doesn’t see them till they get up but they put her on oxygen before they get up there so she’s literally crying for them and they calm her down once there up there? What ever happens after they calm her down is up to you(I am so sorry it’s so long but this is like what happened to me when I went on a plane) I am actually so sorry Ik I requested so much

No no no don't be sorry :<< if anything I'm sorry for it taking this long! :(

I love getting requests from you guys so don't apologise, y'all are what give me the motivation to write anyway!

Now onto the angst!

Masterlist <3

KiriBaku x Fem!Reader- Altitude

Is it hot in here? It's definitely hot in here.

You're on the verge of panicking as you stand up on shaky legs to get to the front of the cabin to use the bathroom.

You've never really been good with planes. Or heights.

It's not like you were expecting it to be this bad though. The turbulence is literally shaking you to your core as you manoeuvre to the front, having found it quite easy to get out of your set near to the pathway. The thought process went something along the lines of "if I can't see out of the window, then I won't panic". How wrong you were.

The view is absolutely stunning in Eijirou's eyes though, and he enjoys every second he gets to spend staring at the clouds like some sort of excited puppy. Katsuki sits in the middle of both you and Eijirou, glaring at his phone like usual and just waiting for this dumb plane to land already.

The three of you were going on a vacation to get away from work, and although Katsuki was hesitant, since he really does love his job and he worked his ass off to get to where he is in his carreer now, he was finally persuaded by you and the excitable redhead into taking some time off. "Only because Eijirou said he'd do my paperwork for a month" He said. You don't believe him one bit and you're absolutely right not to.

It takes a while for your legs to finally work, and as you struggle to get to the bathroom you suddenly feel very cold and your belly cramps up painfully. Everything blurs around you and darkness creeps from the edge of your vision, like a vignette. The dull grey surroundings on the plane only makes you feel even worse, and suddenly, you're on the floor.

The passengers sitting by where you had suddenly collapsed gasp and immediately unbuckle themselves to help you out, the concerned look from one of them making you whine and sluggishly reach towards nothing in particular, and you only wish that your boys, your best friends were there with you right now to say that you'll be okay.

"Ngh- K-Katsuki- Eiji- nh-! Ei-... Ji...

The passengers panic goes unnoticed to you as people yell for the airline staff and exclaim that you've collapsed, but Eijirou and Katsuki notice, and as they unbuckle their seatbelts to help out and calm the crowd, they're suddenly met with the sight of you on the ground, rapidly losing your grasp on consciousness.

By now you're already panicking, your breaths fast but laboured while your head swims with building pressure, and your thoughts run like a train as you silently beg for your friends to come to you. You're so cold and alone and everything hurts so, so much. It's getting harder and harder to breathe but you're left to panic about it because you're far too hazy to understand that your throat is closing up because you're having an anxiety attack.

The laboured, hyperventilative breathing is restricting the oxygen travelling to your lungs, and as you sob and cry for your friends, suddenly they appear in front of you.

Immediately they're by your side, Katsuki helping out with the first aid and checking your vitals while Kirishima grasps your hand in his, and when you're finally met with the sight of your best friends the tears finally escape your eyes, and relief flows through your body.

Well, it's either relief, or the help from the oxygen mask. Whatever it is, it really does the trick.

The staff have given you some oxygen to help you with your breathing, and as you take deep breaths, as Kirishima instructs, your vision becomes a little clearer, and your panic eases.

You're safe, and you can finally relax now.

Banana fish re-review ~

I did a rewatch of banana fish and oh my God I forgot how good this series was. Considering the original manga came out in the 80's in JAPAN, it was SO ahead of its time. One of the best depictions of gay characters I've ever seen in Japanese media, even by today's standards.

Some more silly thoughts:

Like yoshida just casually dropped a manga with an insanely progressive take on the bl genre by showing a complex queer interracial relationship with incredibly well-written characters. Honestly the fact that ash and eiji's relationship wasn't explicitly defined as romantic is a plus imo. Not being able to rely on obvious romantic gestures like kissing, hand-holding, romantic confessions, etc. actually forces the writer to develop their relationship without that crutch to lean on. That's why ash and eiji's relationship is so good, because it doesn't rely on surface-level romance to get across the fact that they love each other and instead use subtlety and little nuances in their interactions. It's obvious from the subtext and how much they're shown to care for each other.

Not to mention the great depiction of black characters (I know portraying black characters non-offensively is like, the bare minimum, but may I remind you this is the EIGHTIES in JAPAN, and there are so many CURRENT animes that have an issue with it).

I mean yea does it have its flaws? Sure. Ash's admittedly very lame "lynx" title that comes with many wildcat metaphors, eiji being a bit passive in the first half, sort of cringe portrayal of America, etc. but my God the way she handles the trauma and character dynamics is incredible.

Ok so I did have a uh... Not really a criticism but something that I noticed that got me thinking. I feel like some shows use dark subject matter as a bit of an easy way to evoke an emotional reaction from the audience. Sometimes authors give characters horrible backstories as a way to make the audience THINK the character is complex and interesting but in reality it's a bit of a lazy writing tactic. Low effort high reward kind of thing. Banana fish obviously does have brutal subject matter and ash is really put through the ringer, but I love that yoshida doesn't let that become the axis of his character. He has trauma that greatly impacts him, but he's also super developed on his own apart from that. When I think about Ash's character, I don't immediately think about the traumatic backstory parts. The balance between how significantly the trauma affects him vs making sure that's not the ONLY part of his character is extremely well-executed.

Scenes that stuck out to me (not including asheiji ones bc it goes without saying theyre all amazing)

- the interrogator playing Ash's tapes after being arrested ("later, movie star" was the most brutal line ever omg)

- max burning the photos of ash (underrated moment this was SO good),

- any and all interactions between sing and blanca (they're such an unlikely duo peak comedy right there)

- the convo between sing and yut lung in the last episode

- ash stabbing the guy in the dick with a fork

- callback to ^^^, ash stabbing the banana with a fork

- Ash's breakdown in front of dino (ep 19 I believe)

- the entirety of ash escaping from the "mental hospital" and then having to go rescue ibe and max lmaooo

- ash brutally murdering Abraham(?, the redhead guy) by blowing abt a thousand holes in him w a machine gun as payback for shorter

- ash shooting shorter

- running joke of max being Ash's dad

- everyone constantly manhandling yut lung by yanking on his hair (dude get a haircut)

- ash immediately going to shoot himself no hesitation after yut lung told him he wouldn't hurt eiji if he did so (technically asheiji but I'm keeping it since this was a yut lung and ash scene)

- "what does this picture look like?" "Your wife"

- eiji's cute stupid little outfit he wore when he went to go find shorter in Chinatown

I also have a confession:

I LOVE yut lung. Him being paralleled with ash, but instead of finding love he let hate consume him because he had no one unlike ash who had eiji was just devastating but in a good way.

So yea those are my messy thoughts after finishing it. I'd argue that it was probably one of the best pieces of queer media to exist at the time. In the world. And one of my personal favorite pieces of queer media ever.

Feeling like a ghost

Summary: It was hard to be marry to someone who acts like you aren’t there.

Word count: 1.1 k

Warnings: Angst, mentions of pregnancy

Paring: Shoto x Fem! reader

This marriage was nothing like you planned. When you talked he would leave the room or when you craved a date or a little attention he wasn’t there. Part of you knew his reasons, this wasn’t the ideal life you wanted at first either but with time you learn to accept there wasn’t another way to live it now. 

When your parents told you about their plan and either you like it or not, the wedding would be done. They said it was the opportunity of a lifetime. Having such a recognized name as the Todoroki name was a privilege and you should be grateful. That’s what they said. They planned all out. They only wanted you to have the best life you could live. 

You remember your wedding so well. The weather was perfect and you kept on smiling trying to make sure your future husband knew you were happy to be with him. He never looked at you. Not even once in the whole day and he hasn’t done it since. Everyone said your dress was stunning and your make up on point. The comments you hear about how pretty you would look pregnant were everywhere. That made Eiji talk to you for the first time and pull you aside from the party. 

“You understand why I chose you to be my son’s wife, right? Your quirk is amazing and I am convinced that with my son’s you could make really powerful children. I'm expecting a grandson or two soon” That was almost two years ago and you couldn’t even make Shoto sleep in the same bed as you. He was always upset or distant, you have never seen him smile one or try to keep a conversation with you. 

Once you sat in the living room for 4 hours convinced that if you didn’t move or talk it would be like if you weren’t even there. You looked at him for a while but he… he just ignored you. You knew he noticed your presence but he was acting like you didn’t exist. 

There were too many tears around the house and you felt like drowning. 

Always trying to be the perfect wife to the perfect hero, to the perfect man, to the perfect husband. It was so tiring to only pretend to be when the cameras and people were looking at you. 

Pressure and expectations. Gossip, rumors and hate everywhere. You had to deal with all that by yourself because at the end of the day, you were completely alone. 

No real friends, your family only close to ask you why you weren’t pregnant yet. Why wasn't your husband around? What is wrong with your marriage? 

Let’s not talk about Endeavor because even if you didn’t see him all the time, when you did you could notice how disappointed he was. You promised to give him grandchilds and now it was like you weren’t even trying. Sometimes you would walk around this big cold house feeling like a ghost. The ghost of a woman who died waiting for her husband to love her. 

He was sitting on one of the sofas with his computer on and a bunch of papers spread all over the coffee table. 

“Why aren’t you in your office?” You asked. 

“It’s being redecorated. We have a lot of people on my floor at the moment and I can’t concentrate.” 

It was the first time he answered without sounding like he wanted to finish the conversation. Honestly it lightened up your whole mood 'cause then you found yourself sitting beside him with a hot cup of coffee and smiling slightly at him.  It was the first time you were by his side and you didn’t feel like bursting into tears.

He noticed you staring and the you quickly turned your head like a silly school girl who got caught looking at the boy she had a crush on. That amused him. The smile he had on his face was the first one you have seen all these years being his wife. It was genuine too.

This was strange. Everything seemed different, everything was different but you couldn’t catch on why. 

Your eyes fixed on his hands typing on his computer while you laid down on the couch. You swear this is how real couples act. This is how it should have gone when you first got married. 

“Shoto?” 

“Mhm?” He said mindlessly typing. 

“Why are you never home?” Shoto stopped and for a moment you regret even opening your mouth. When you were about to tell him to forget about it. 

“I don’t like looking at you. Because everytime I do, I only remember how miserable I am and how miserable you must be.” Your heart skipped a beat. He didn’t seem to doubt his answer. That’s what it hurted you the most. 

“But… maybe if we spend more time together. Maybe if you took the time to be here we could make this less hurtful. Maybe you could even lo-” 

“Please don’t say it.” He was starting to put away his things when you got up to stop him

“I’m sorry. But you cannot expect me to stay here and keep quiet. Everyone is expecting to see me with a baby some time soon. And I hate feeling alone.” He refused to even face you. It hit you ego because even though you were used to his indifference you were trying to get him to talk but he seemed like he wanted to disappear. 

“I’m never going to love you y/n. That’s the way it is. Maybe I loved you in another life, but not in this one. God, I’m sorry. Midoriya told me to be nicer with you but I get it was a mistake. This isn’t going to change my feelings about you.”

You kept quiet fighting the tears trying to escape from your eyes. It hurts. It hurted when he walked out of the room leaving you alone once more with your heart shattered. There wasn’t enough air for you to breathe. 

Later you found yourself signing divorce papers and running away. Everyone was disappointed and you too for not making Shoto Todoroki to love you.

If you wanna watch this bit too, here's the scene

Thanks to some help from a recent new friend (ElementaBlossom on Twitter / brynhildr.lucina on Instagram), I learned something I HONESTLY should've noticed before...

EIJI IS ACTUALLY PART OF THE HAREM TOO!!!

So Kirito doesn't have just AI/Underworld boys, but a Real World boy in his harem (which is nice, given Agil is married, Klein is... Klein, and Itsuki loves the FB (canonically male) protagonist), and given the fact that Eiji originally started as an enemy in Ordinal Scale (and used to love the "original" Yuna), he's a hell of a unique case since he's first one to have loved someone before (and I do love me a good ol' second love trope)~

Honestly, thinking about it now, it makes so much sense given his relationship with other/current/AI Yuna feels more like a "older brother who gets dragged along into his little sister's shenanigans" sibling duo and Last Recollection DOES have some KiriEiji crumbs... 👀

(Eiji, stop being a tsundere. We already got Eldrie 😂 Kirito will welcome you into the harem will OPEN arms lol So what if you two fought before? That's like foreplay to him when there's a hot guy involved.)

And looking at OS again...

Kirito WAS pretty "expressive" whenever Eiji popped up (guess that sorta balances out Yuna kissing Asuna (on the cheek) in the movie lol)

And there’s this:

~~~~~

I exhaled deeply, then once again breathed in—— but then stopped at that point. After hesitating for about two seconds, I asked something different from what I had planned.

"Umm…… I wonder, how should I call you? We can't go on with 《you》 (socchi) and 《you》 (omae) forever now, after all…… Eiji? Nautilus? Nochizawa-kun?"

Just then, I got an intense stare from beyond the gently wavy forelocks of his.

"The third one is a definite no-go. Second one is a no-go too……Just use Eiji."

"G-gotcha……Then call me Kirito……"

"Hmph." - Kirito and Eiji in Cordial Chords light novel side story (sequel to the movie) Part 4

~~~~~

(Kirito, don't get all stutter-y now just cause he's a hot guy 😅 Y'all were JUST enemies) Then again, Kirito has a bit of a thing for dilfs/slightly older men so I’m not surprised by his disaster bisexual ass 🤣 (Kirito at the time: 17 years old) (Eiji at the time: 20 years old)

[lemonxdaisybby]

Eiji headcanons please! Sfw and nsfw if you can!

I gotta say, the biggest plot twist of the game is that I actually ended up liking Eiji! Up until the very end scene I thought he was so mean and smug, and then the last scene w Ichi just warmed my heart. He’s cool in my books now.

Also lowkey ship Ichi and Eiji after that end scene too, lil piggyback babies 💕

Apologies for my ramblings, thank you for the ask, and I hope you like! 🌸

Eiji’s intentions upon first meeting you were likely entirely lust based, and he was more so asking you out for a quick fuck, rather than looking for a relationship. You two would have met on a night out at a club, and exchanged numbers after chatting for a while. Generally, it started out as fuck buddies, and feelings gradually blossomed from there.

Though he would hold genuine feelings for you, Eiji wouldn’t have planned on confessing to you or taking things any further than casual fuck sessions, but after spotting you and another male flirting at a club one night, he’d just feel so jealous and angry. He’d pull you away, and a small argument would likely ensue. He’d demand to know what the fuck you think you’re doing, flirting with that guy, and you’d retort by questioning why he even cares. That’s when he’d finally be up front, admitting that he has feelings for you, and that he wants to be exclusive. You belong to him, and no one else.

Once the two of you start going out on dates, just know that he wouldn’t let you pay ever. He pays for all the dates. He’s not the most loving boyfriend, nor is he the most gentlemanly, but he’d probably feel slightly offended if you ever offered to pay for a date. Dates would be his one way of spoiling you.

Eiji isn’t a huge fan of cute or affectionate PDA, but he isn’t afraid to kiss you or cop a feel of your ass in public. If he’s jealous and thinks someone is trying to claim your attention, or if someone even looks at you too much, he would definitely rely on PDA to show them that you are taken. He’s a possessive man, and doesn’t want to share you with anyone.

Generally, he can be a bit cold at times, and cocky too. He’d be very dry and sarcastic with his humour, however he does have a more playful side too, that only you seem to bring out. If he notices you goofing off, he might tut and call your antics childish, but before you know it, he’s right by your side laughing along with you. You’re his sunshine.

Sex wise, Eiji is a dom, and you are not allowed to take control ever. He’d be very teasing too, and would enjoy seeing you flustered. You just know he’s gonna mock you when you get embarrassed or shy, and when you moan or beg for him during sex he’ll laugh, calling you his pretty little slut, and taunting you about how needy you are for him.

He has a high sex drive, to the point where you two could be out in public, and suddenly he’s dragging you to a public bathroom/restroom for a blowjob or a quickie. He also could not give a single fuck if the two of you get caught.

Eiji would very rarely give oral, however he absolutely adores receiving blowjobs. He would grab a fistful of your hair as you kneel down in front of him, and would shove your head down, groaning every time he hears you gag on his cock. He’d love a slobbery, messy blowjob, and the sight of you covered in saliva and cum, with tears running down your cheeks from gagging so much, would definitely give him a kick. Hope you’re prepared for round two.

He would never really be soft during sex, but he can be quite sweet with aftercare, surprisingly. He would clean you up with a towel afterwards, asking if you’re okay, before settling down beside you for some post sex cuddles. He’d have you tucked in to his side with your head laying on his chest, as he drapes an arm around your waist, his fingers lazily trailing circles on the tender skin of your hip.

the second trial is getting closer and closer to its end. it's time for miki to finally meet jackalope, learn more about how this place works and who she's going to work with in the next season.

(also she has her hair down now!)

(the door opens)

Miki: *sighs*

Miki: Well, uh..

Miki: I guess it's over.

Miki: ...

Miki: It's.. kinda lonely now.

(sound of Miki sitting down on her bed)

Miki: This is so..

Miki: *starts crying*

Miki: This is not.. fair.. 

Miki: Eiji-san.. had worked so hard.. 

Miki: A-and now..

Miki: H-he'll be fine, right? I mean, we don't have anyone who can treat him, b-but..

Miki: I-I asked Chiba-san, but she's not a doctor, she's just the oldest one here..

Miki: A-and I can only d-do first aid stuff..

Miki: T-thankfully, it's just a broken arm, it could've been much worse..

Miki: But still..

Miki: .. Why is Eiji-san the only guard that the prisoners can touch?

Jackalope: Good question.

Miki: *SCREAMS*

Jackalope: Okay, before you try to hit me with anything-

Miki: WHO ARE YOU?! 

Miki: Or.. uh..

Miki: WHAT ARE YOU?!

Miki: "I.. I knew there was something wrong with this place, but I didn't expect to see this rabbit thing-"

Miki: ...

Miki: .. Rabbit thing?

Jackalope: Here we go again.

Jackalope: Oh-

Miki: Are you the rabbit that Hiyuu-san mentioned?!

Jackalope: S-stop shaking me-

Jackalope: .. Hiyuu?

Miki: Uh.. You know..

Miki: The third guard.

Miki: Wait, why am I even having a conversation with you? How can you even talk?!

Jackalope: Let's talk about that later.

Miki: I literally want to know why we can talk like this!

(sound of Jackalope jumping down on the bed)

Jackalope: Anyway. 

Jackalope: So, you're Miki, right? 

Jackalope: Yeah, you're definitely the cutest one out of all the guards we have this time.

Miki: .. How many guards do you have exactly?

Jackalope: Eh, there was supposed to be one more, but he couldn't handle the pressure, so..

Miki: .. What do you mean by that?

Jackalope: Actually, maybe I should explain how exactly we chose the guards this time. I don't think anything bad will happen if you learn more about this.

Jackalope: Also, I just trust you more than that Eiji guy. There is a reason why you're the "goddess of this place" after all, haha.

Miki: B-but what happened to the fourth guard-

Jackalope: So, you have probably already noticed that there's some kind of pattern if you think more about the connection you and Eiji have with other prisoners.

Jackalope: Two prisoners in particular. 

Miki: .. Eiji-san and Kei-san are brothers. Me and Asahi-san are siblings.

Jackalope: Exactly. So, why do you think we decided that we should choose the prisoners' siblings as the guards?

Miki: .. No idea. 

Jackalope: Well, you might be thinking that we did it out of some kind of sadistic urge to make you two judge your own siblings, however, Eiji hates Kei and would love to see him die.. or at least that's what he says, and it took you some time to remember that Marito is actually your brother.

Miki: How do you know his-

Jackalope: It isn't actually that entertaining, especially if we consider how you two tend to vote everyone. Eiji would still vote Kei guilty no matter what and you would do the opposite with Marito and forgive him every single time.

Jackalope: Also, this is just.. tasteless to me. What we need is actual judgement, even if it's based only on the prisoners' looks, and not your connections and relationships and how much you will cry when it's time to vote them guilty.

Jackalope: Though you have to agree that you have.. certain relationship dynamics with some of them. I bet it's getting harder to make decisions because of them.

Miki: So.. Why did you go for the prisoners' siblings?

Jackalope: The answer is simple, really.

Jackalope: Because it was easier.

Miki: .. Huh?

Jackalope: Think about it. What, you think we just found you all in a minute?

Jackalope: Yes, this prison might work in some mysterious ways that are impossible for someone like you to understand, but we had to find ten murderers who live in completely different cities and towns, wait for the right moment to send them here, make sure their family, friends and loved ones didn't find out and we also needed to find guards to judge them. Not one guard, but more, because this time we needed to see how the trial would go with people who have completely different morals.

Jackalope: So, then we found out more information about everyone's family members, we learned about you and Eiji, and we were like..

Jackalope: We need to put these two in the same room and see how it will play out.

Jackalope: But we still needed more than two guards because there was a possibility of you two refusing to work together and we didn't want a 50/50 result, so..

Miki: What is a "50/50 result"?

Jackalope: So yeah, we just decided that it will be easier to choose the prisoners' siblings as the guards because we wouldn't have to think too hard about it.

Miki: ...

Miki: U-um, sir, I don't know your name..

Jackalope: Oh, right, please forgive me for not introducing myself earlier, haha. Call me Jackalope-

Miki: A-anyway, sir, that's kind of lame.

Jackalope: Huh.

Miki: I AM SO SORRY, PLEASE PRETEND YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THAT!

Jackalope: No, no, I want you to elaborate.

Miki: Well.. I thought that there would be more thought put into.. 

Miki: You know.. All of this.

Jackalope: But we did put a lot of thought into it! 

Jackalope: For example, we've even chosen-

Jackalope: .. Ahem. I did agree to tell you about the siblings part, but I have to stop myself here. You're lucky that you're cute and it's hard to say no to you.

Miki: "I just wanted to learn more about the fourth guard.."

Miki: S-so, the fourth guard is-

Jackalope: We actually weren't sure if we should make you and Eiji the prisoners or Kei and Asahi.

Miki: ... What?

Jackalope: Or, you know, Kei and you, Eiji and Asahi, whatever.

Miki: W-what? Why?

Miki: W-why would you have a problem with making that choice?

Jackalope: Well, I think you already know the answer.

Jackalope: I mean, you all are murderers in some way.

Miki: ...

(sound of Miki falling on the floor)

Jackalope: Aw, don't look so sad. You already knew that-

Miki: But I.. But.. 

Miki: B-but Marito is alive! He's here! I didn't kill him!

Miki: I still think I'm a terrible sister and he deserves someone better than me, but..

Jackalope: Oh, Miki, you know I'm talking about someone else.

Miki: ...

Jackalope: We both know that Marito wasn't your victim.

Miki: ...

Miki: Well, Eiji-san can't be a murderer. He's too good for that.

Jackalope: "Good"? *laughs* You're way too pure for someone like him.

Jackalope: You seriously think a normal guy would have so much fun punishing everyone? And would be so experienced with coming up with ways to torture people?

Miki: E-even if he did kill someone, I'm sure he had a reason-

Jackalope: And so what? He's still a murderer.

Jackalope: You are a murderer. He is a murderer. The prisoners are murderers too. 

Jackalope: Milgram doesn't care about how you guys did it and why. You all had something to do with someone's death. Whether it was a direct murder, whether it was driving someone to suicide, whether it was causing someone's death by inaction, whether it was an accident, whether it was self-defense, this prison doesn't care.

Miki: .. But this isn't how a normal prison works. This isn't how normal trials work.

Jackalope: And you already know this place is anything but normal.

Miki: .. Is Hiyuu-san also a murderer?

Jackalope: Hm.. Kind of, but not really. Though he is partially responsible for someone.. almost dying.

Jackalope: And because of you and Eiji being more.. direct, we made you two wake up first.

Jackalope: Actually, if we count the fourth one, he was the one who woke up first, but.. There was a reason for that.

Miki:"We weren't the ones who woke up first?!"

Jackalope: There also was another reason why we went for the siblings, but this one.. Yeah, I'm not going to talk about it much.

Jackalope: So let's just say, it would be easier for us to make some.. changes to the trial.

Miki: "Changes"?

Jackalope: Well, for example..

Jackalope: If you keep asking more questions, maybe one day you will be the one waking up in a prison cell and waiting for your brother to judge you.

Miki: B-but you were the one who decided to tell me all this!..

Miki: Wait..

Miki: What.. does this all mean?

Miki: Actually, who are "we"?

Miki: You're wearing what looks like a guard uniform.. But I don't think you're one of the guards..

Jackalope: Haha, no, I'm not the fourth guard-

Miki: THEN WHO ARE YOU?!

Miki: WHO ARE ALL OF YOU?!

Miki: WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THIS? WHY ARE WE HERE?

Miki: JUST ANSWER ALREADY OR I WILL K-

Miki: ...

Jackalope: See? You all are murderers. Simple as that.

Jackalope: Oh, right, it's time for you two to properly meet each other.

Jackalope: I know you two have already met in person..

Jackalope: Even though I had told him not to leave his room..

Jackalope: Anyway, meet the third guard of the Milgram prison: Kuroki Hinode!

(the door opens)

(sounds of Hinode's steps)

Hinode: I really could just use a screen for this, but it'd be very rude..

Hinode: Hello, Miki-san. It's very nice to meet you again like this.

***

Jackalope: So, how are you doing?

(silence)

Jackalope: Not good, huh? Understandable.

Jackalope: But hey, at least it was Yurika who broke your arm. I can't imagine how you'd react if it was Kei.

(silence)

Jackalope: Well, I doubt you'll be able to participate in the voting process this time. 

Jackalope: Anyway, see you-

Eiji: .. Judge..

Jackalope: Hm?

Eiji: I still.. 

Eiji: Need to judge them..

Jackalope: Hey, I admire your diligence, but we already have a guard with health problems, so-

Eiji: Well, what else do you expect me to do?!

Eiji: I'm not just gonna lie here!

Eiji: If I can't judge them, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?!

Eiji: I FINALLY KNOW WHAT I WAS BORN TO DO! I KNOW WHAT THE PURPOSE OF MY LIFE IS!

Eiji: JUST LET ME DO MY JOB ALREADY!

Eiji: !

Eiji: .. It hurts..

Jackalope: *sighs* I really wish you could be more obedient. Why can't you just follow the others' example?

Eiji: .. Did you do something to me?

Jackalope: Huh?

Eiji: Nobody can touch Miki. But they can touch me perfectly fine. 

Eiji: And if I remember correctly, this started to happen only when the second trial began.

Eiji: So.. Again, did you do something to me?

Jackalope: .. Seriously, why do you remember our first meeting so well?

Jackalope: Now, where was that thing.. 

Jackalope: Right. Anyway, you'll forget everything in like five minutes, so I can just say it to you right now.

Jackalope: Eiji, I mean this in the nicest way possible. 

Jackalope: Your punishments are creative. I really wish I could see you punish more prisoners after the first trial.

Jackalope: But no, there wasn't even any fight between you and Miki. You've just let her save like seven prisoners.

Jackalope: So, uh.. You don't really make a good guard.

Jackalope: And you didn't give us the result we wanted, so..

Jackalope: Yeah, this is your punishment.

Eiji: ...

Jackalope: Anyway, have a nice dream.

Kiss prompt 19 but angsty 😶‍🌫️

19. kisses meant to distract the other person from whatever they were intently doing

Ash can tell that Eiji is struggling.

Eiji thinks he's better at hiding it than he is. He tries not to let Ash know, tries to take all the pain on himself. But Ash can tell.

The problem is that Ash doesn't know how to help.

There's usually only one thing that people want from Ash, really, and  he's not certain that offering it—himself—to Eiji is the best idea. But he ... he really doesn't know what else to do.

There's only one way he can make someone happy, really. Only one way he can help.

Eiji is focused on his own misery, spacing out as he stares at his laptop. He's supposed to be working on editing some photographs he took for work, but he hasn't touched the mouse or keyboard in several minutes. He might even be disassociating.

Slowly leaning down to meet Eiji, Ash puts their faces close together, close enough to be seductive and then some. "Will you let me distract you?" Ash whispers, breathy and hoarse and everything  he needs to just start to turn someone on.

"Ash," Eiji says with a sigh. "I really need to ..."

He trails off, and Ash presses their lips together in the silence. He pulls away just a bit. "I have something much more interesting for you to do," he says, as suggestive as he can make it sound.

Eiji's eyes darken, and it takes everything in Ash not to flinch.

"Ash," Eiji warns. 

Ash smirks. It's working, then. He kisses Eiji again, even as Eiji tries to turn back to his laptop.

"Come on," Ash whines, kissing Eiji's cheek, then his neck. "You need a break. I can help out. Destress a little, right?" Take the stress out on me. Ash is used to being a punching bag or worse. He'll gladly do what he's always done—especially when it's for Eiji.

He'd do anything for Eiji.

Ash grabs at Eiji's hand. "Come to bed with me," he breathes. "I'll make it worth your while." Ash feels himself slipping away from himself, entering the state where he just does what needs to be done. He can stop the pain, stop feeling everything that hurts. Just a small sacrifice. For Eiji? Anything. Anything.

But Eiji doesn't budge. "I really need to work," Eiji insists, like he doesn't even notice Ash's advances. Ash knows he does. He has to. So why is he being so fucking stubborn about it?

"You haven't even been working," Ash whines. "Just for a bit? I can make you happy within five minutes. You'll feel better."

Eiji's eyes flash. "Ash!" he shouts.

Ash flinches this time, unable to stop himself. He releases Eiji's hand, bringing an arm up to shield his face.

"Fuck," Eiji hisses. "I'm not going to hurt you. I'm sorry. I just—I don't want this."

"... You don't?" Ash asks. He's ... confused.

"No, Ash. This isn't the solution, okay? I know I ... I haven't been myself. But something like this would—I'm not going to hurt you. That would make me feel worse; I know that much."

Ash doesn't respond at first, biting down on his lip. Ash doesn't want to force himself on someone who doesn't want it; he's had that done to himself enough times to know how much it ... how much it hurts. But what the hell else is he supposed to do?

"How do I help, then?" Ash begs.

"Just be here for me?" Eiji asks carefully. He leans forward, finally kissing Ash back. "That's all I ask of you."

Ash half smiles. "That? Always. I just ... I don't think it's enough."

"It's more than enough, love." Eiji sighs. "I wish you'd see that."

"Am I making things worse for you?"

Eiji hesitates, and Ash's heart breaks a little. "You're not too much," Eiji says quickly. "But it hurts to watch you try to hurt yourself."

"Oh," Ash breathes.

"We'll work on it," Eiji resolves. "Together."

"You don't want me hurt?" Ash clarifies. He knows Eiji doesn't, but sometimes it's still hard to believe.

"I don't," Eiji confirms.

"And I can help by ... just being here."

"Yeah," Eiji says. He smiles softly. "Yes, Ash."

Ash nods slowly. He sits down on the floor. "Do you want to talk about what's wrong?"

Eiji breathes out a laugh. "Yeah," he whispers. "That would be nice."

Kiss prompts!

COOMON AREA

"Do you want to have di-"

"No, Shitty Hair and I already have plans today."

"Ohh, okay..." it had been going on like that for weeks, and you were starting to feel like Katsuki didn't really love you anymore, if he ever had - Eiji the same way. Why should Katsuki love me at all? I'm quirkless. Maybe my boyfriend is tired of having to protect me all the time. Maybe the two of them would be happier as a couple?

"I'll be going now...", you mumbled and disappeared to your room. There your thoughts got really bad, you racked your brains for hours and at some point you started to cry - you couldn't take it anymore.

↳ time skip 𖦹

"Do you think it was a good idea to cancel on her again today?" asked Eijiro Katsuki as he stuffed his sweaty gym clothes back into his red gym bag.

"I don't know, Eiji. But our training won't last that long. Let's finish it - after that, we'll have more time for (y/n) again," the redhead agreed with his boyfriend with a nod.

"I still want to spend some time with (y/n) today. Dinner sounds good or something else...", the shorter one suggested.

"That sounds good, I'm hungry anyway; I'm sure you are too...", the blond pressed a kiss to Eijiro's cheek before they both headed back to the Dorms together.

↳ time skip 𖦹

You hadn't heard the door to your room open because of your coughing fit, which you often got when you cried a lot. The redhead immediately ran up to you and took you in his arms - but you only tensed up.

"What's wrong, baby? Did something happen?", Eiji was more than worried, Katsuki at least as much, but he wouldn't - or couldn't - show it. Especially in front of you, his girlfriend.

"Why are you crying again?", even as he was saying it, the blond regretted his choice of words. He knew how sensitive his girl was.

"Tell me, what's fucking your problem, Katsuki? What's fucking wrong with you at all?", Addressed decided to keep his mouth shut - after all, his boyfriend was right.

"Won't you tell me w-", you interrupted him tearfully.

"I don't want to anymore."

"What do you mean?" the two almost-heroes were now even more worried. Was their girlfriend having suicidal thoughts and they hadn't noticed?

"What do you mean?"

"I want you to leave!", a heart-wrenching sob was heard, "I-I don't want this a-any more; leave-me-alone!", Both were shocked by your statement - Kirishima caught himself first.

"But (y/n)-...", he was interrupted by your crying self.

"Go now!", you shouted. Normally, you were the calm one in the relationship. You usually kept your cool and thought rationally. Eijiro and Katsuki were all the more shocked when you yelled at them now. Bakugō grabbed the redhead and pulled him out by his sweater.

"But Katsuki..." he protested, but the blond ignored his objections. Once they were both outside, Eiji wanted to go back in, but again Katsuki stopped him.

"What are you doing? I want to talk to her!"

"There's no point, she doesn't want to see us - at least not now. Give her some time," the addressed one thought briefly and nodded in response, after which they headed out together to get something to eat.

↳ time skip 𖦹

A little more than three weeks had passed and you were still avoiding the boys. Kirishima made himself terrible reproaches, he had not noticed, how neglected you must have felt. Katsuki felt the same way, but he knew very well that it was actually his fault. He had claimed Eijiro for himself so he wouldn't have to train alone.

Some time ago, he had overheard Mina and you talking about men and what you found attractive about them.

You said you were into guys - Katsuki already knew that - who had muscles. Not too much, but not too little either. And even if the blond didn't show it, he really wanted to please you - he didn't even know why.

↳ time skip 𖦹

Two more days later, you still hadn't spoken a word with Eijiro or Katsuki. For today, Aizawa had scheduled a trip to the city, due to all the training of the last weeks.

The perfect opportunity for the redhead to distract himself. The blond, however, refused, preferring to stay in his room, train a little with weights and then sleep - that distracted him best.

So he trained for an hour with loud music, after that he wanted to get something to drink; Katsuki had become thirsty, besides he had sweated a lot.

So the student turned off the music and was about to leave his room when he heard sobs and tearful words. Immediately he knew to whom they belonged. Without really thinking about it, he grabbed the blanket you always used when you were there, stepped out onto his balcony and climbed up the wall by the gutter. Luckily I climb in my free time, or I'd be in trouble right now...

Once at the top, Bakugō spotted you immediately. You were sitting too close to the edge for his liking, but he couldn't really do anything about it. What surprised him was that you hadn't turned around.

Since you didn't have a Quirk, Katsuki had subjected you to intensive training of your senses, as well as combat training, but that had nothing to do with the current situation. Normally you should have heard him, but apparently your current emotional state confused your senses.

"Wh-Why, why?", Katsuki heard your tearful voice.

He hurried to come to you. The blond sat down behind you, wrapped his arms, covered with the blanket, around your cool body and held you tight. Contrary to his expectations, he was not pushed away. Instead, you pressed closer to the taller man, clawing into his shirt and crying harder.

"Why? Why don't you love me?" you sobbed bitterly, pressing your head against the blond's muscular arm.

"Where do you come up with this shit?", so that's the problem, but where does she come up with such stupid ideas?

"You-you're only doing stuff with Eiji now. Neither of you two have time for me. I-I feel like I'm just invisible to you guys," shit, I didn't mean to do that...

"Y-You only got involved because you wanted Eiji. You never wanted M-Me...", your crying fit got worse again. Katsuki didn't know what to do, so he acted intuitively.

He put his fingers under your chin, lifted your head with them, and lightly pressed his lips against yours. Likewise, he applied light pressure. You kissed him back, but seconds later you broke away. You were confused, what was that about?

"What are you doing, Katsuki?", the tears just wouldn't stop. The blond didn't answer for now. He pulled you back to his chest and rested his head on yours.

"I'm... I'm sorry. I didn't want you to feel unloved and unwanted, fluffy cheeks," Katsuki placed a kiss on the top of your head.

"Then why did you do it? Why did you always shut me out?", so slowly you were getting tired, you hadn't slept much lately - and if you had, you hadn't slept well. Still, you tried to look him in the face as best you could. Katsuki, however, pressed your head against his chest again. If he was honest with himself, he didn't want to look you in the eye right now.

"Don't be mad," he said in a slightly monotone. From that, you could tell that Bakugō was going to be uncomfortable with what followed. Katsuki put his head back on yours. He didn't know what to say.

"I... overheard you and Mina. When you were talking about guys. Do you remember that?", you thought for a moment.

"Yeah, I told Mina that I had a thing for - who knew? - Guys and that I like them to be muscular."

"Not too much, but not too little either," the blonde reminded you, "That's why... I've been training with Eijiro so much the last few weeks," somehow Katsuki was embarrassed to tell you that now. Usually the blonde didn't talk much about his feelings.

"I was trying to please you or something," he adds after that and blushed, which luckily for Bakugō you didn't see.

"Are you serious, Katsuki?", now the usually confident boy was unsure. Does she think it's embarrassing that I'm making an effort?

"Tch!" was the only thing he let out. It was a kind of protective mechanism, although he knew very well that this reaction was unnecessary with you.

Completely against Katsuki's expectations, you were pleasantly surprised. You snuggled closer to the tall blond, taking one of his hands in yours to gently stroke from the heel of his hand over his forearm to his very muscular upper arm; up to his shoulder, which you liked to lean against from time to time, and then slowly down his torso. Thereupon you carefully drove under his black tank top and let your fingers wander over his abdominal muscles, which impressed you since you knew him. Slightly Katsuki had to gasp; he had missed the touches of his significant other.

"Hey, Kat; you have just the right amount of muscles...", you wanted to add emphasis to your words, so you ran your fingers over his upper arm once more and planted a kiss on it, then looked up at him.

"Yeah, whatever," Bakugō was happy to hear your words, he was really happy, but didn't know how to react, so he did what he always did.

"Yeah, just like always," you feel sad that Katsuki didn't seem to care about your words. Of course, the blonde noticed your disappointment. Out of intuition, he turned you so that you were underneath him.

He pinned your arms to the floor and stared at you. His plan only went so far and no further. So he just let himself fall on top of you; without crushing you, of course.

Katsuki just didn't know what to do, this back and forth was giving him a headache. The boy wished he could talk openly about his feelings. The whole situation would be much easier then - for everyone.

I should at least try, he thought, it couldn't get any worse anyway.

"Listen..." he mumbled into your T-shirt, "I'm happy when you say something nice me," he didn't like the word compliment, "It's hard for me to show that. I just don't want to look... I don't know, look weak? You know that I love you; both of you," you nodded in response.

"Then what's the problem?", you let your fingers disappear into the blond's hair, thinking about the best way to make him understand your thoughts.

"It's one thing to know that someone loves you and the other to be shown that, you know?", Katsuki didn't quite understand and asked what you meant exactly.

"Look, if I tell you I love you and then ignore you for a month, you don't really feel like I would love you, do you? Even though I told you," now the blond did understand. He didn't even want to imagine how you had felt for the last few weeks.

Silently, the two of you lay on the roof. Katsuki on top of you to keep you warm - the blanket was crumpled up next to you. After a few silent minutes, Bakugō braced himself over you again to face you.

"Are you all right now?" he asked. You nodded, to which you got a grin from the student. Katsuki rolled to his side, pulling you with him and into his arms. He then wrapped the blanket around you.

Very gently, he placed his lips on yours, as he had earlier, and applied light pressure, which was returned by you.

"Good - I love you," he pressed your head against his chest.

"I love you too, Kat," you murmured against his tank top.

↳ time skip 𖦹

Slowly your classmates trickled in, it could be heard all the way to the roof.

"We should go downstairs. And you definitely need to talk to Eiji," you felt sick to your stomach.

"You think he's mad?", the blond shook his head.

"Eijiro has been blaming himself all this time for not realizing how neglected you felt. He's very sorry, although after all it was more my fault than his...", to that you just nodded.

↳ time skip 𖦹

The two of you sat down on the bed in the redhead's room and waited. Only a few minutes later he came in.

"(Y/n), what are you doing here?!", the boy couldn't believe it, you had consistently avoided him for over three weeks and now you were standing in front of him. In his room.

"I wanted to talk to you, Eiji...", now Eijiro got a little scared. Would his girlfriend break up with him for good now? Honestly, he could understand, after all, he had neglected you for weeks.

"A-And about what?"

"Kat, can you leave us alone for a moment?", the blond nodded and left the redhead's room. The latter began to feel queasy.

"Are you alright, Eiji? Why are you looking like that?"

"I'm just a little nervous..." he replied.

"Why is that? It's all good - more or less. I just wanted to apologize and make up with you. I should have talked to you - or both of you - directly," the elder exhaled in relief and slid closer to you in the next moment.

He took you in his arms, pulled you onto his lap, and buried his face in your hair.

"What was the matter? What was so bad that you couldn't talk to me or Katsuki about it?", lightly and briefly he pressed his lips against your warm cheek.

"I-I don't know either... I had the whole time, the feeling like Kat didn't love me. And like the two of you would be happier together. After all, you were just spending time together. It was so awful," you wrapped your arms around Eijiro's neck and sobbed lightly on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry about that, my love. I should have realized we were neglecting you. But it seems you've talked things out with Katsuki.... Is everything alright now?", he took your face in his hands and waited for any reaction from you.

You nodded and the next moment the redhead's lips were on yours.

"Do you want to watch a movie? Or something..."

"Sure, I'll go get Katsuki. You lie down," he brushed the tears from your face and stood up to get his friend in his room.

"Are you coming back in, (y/n) wants to watch a movie," was he waiting outside the door the whole time?

The blond entered the room, wrapped his arms around Eiji and gave him a kiss on the lips, "Finally, everything is okay again," Bakugō turned straight to the bed after that, ran towards it and jumped on it - right next to you. He also gave you a kiss.

"Well; what do you want to watch, fluffy cheeks?", the student stared at you with a grin on his face.

"How about (y/fav movie)?" you gave in a whisper.

He started laughing, "Why was that clear?", still laughing he looked at his friend, "Eyy, Eiji. What are you waiting for? Come here," as if ordered and not picked up, the boy stood in his room and looked to his bed, on which the blond was now lying with outstretched arms. He also threw himself on it.

Bakugō connected his cell phone to the television, which hung across from the bed above Eijiro's desk, and turned on the movie you had asked for. Cuddling, you watched it.

Heaven & Hell Pt. 1 (Migi & Dali Analysis)

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

If you've paid close attention to Migi & Dali, you may notice several references to Heaven and Hell. In the original Japanese, this is 天国 and 地獄.

One of the lines in the OP lyrics can be translated as, "Welcome to the garden of Heaven and Hell." In the OP, there is imagery of Migi walking in the light (Heaven) and Dali crawling in the darkness (Hell). This motif with Migi being associated with light and Dali with darkness is shown repeatedly throughout the story.

Also in the OP, the twins are shown underwater, with Migi rising up (i.e. towards Heaven?) and Dali sinking down (i.e. towards Hell?)

The manga chapter where the twins first visit Akiyama's house is titled "Heaven and Hell".

The OST that plays during the twins' visit to Akiyama's house is also titled "Heaven and Hell", where the "Hell" version plays when Dali is stuck with a clingy Akiyama and when Migi has to search Akiyama's sister's dark room, and the "Heaven" version plays when Migi is suddenly rewarded for his hard work with... a sweet treasure (his words).

When Maruta looks down and sees barbed wire (yikes!) in the Ichijo lawn, the "Hell" version of the OST plays, and when he finally makes it to Karen's room, the "Heaven" version plays.

These concepts may be significant. For example, there's the obvious duality of the twins, a recurring theme. To get into more detail, we should clarify what is meant by "Heaven" and "Hell."

It may be possible that Sano was referring to the Buddhist concepts of Heaven and Hell, since the story was written in Japanese and did take place in Japan. However, I argue that she was actually referring to the Christian concepts of Heaven and Hell. Indeed, the story takes place in a setting reminiscent of 90's Americana, where Christianity was the predominant religion. Furthermore, in the manga, the twins' school was actually a parochial (Catholic) school. We see Eiji confessing before a priest, and at Christmas, we also see Youko singing "Joy to the World," a Christian song that celebrates the coming of Jesus Christ to save humanity from sin and to provide salvation.

I don't think Sano would go out of her way to depict these if she did not intend on using Christianity, specifically Catholicism, to some extent. After all, she could have just made the school a regular school (like in the anime), and she could have made Youko sing a different Christmas carol. That being said, it's also possible that she simply introduced these details for aesthetics and to give us a bit more immersion to the story. Nonetheless, we can still refer to the basic concepts of Heaven and Hell that is similar to the Christian understanding of these concepts.

*Disclaimer: Please keep in mind that I am neither a theologian nor a religious scholar, so do take my words with a grain of salt.

In general, the realm of Heaven can be seen as an eternal divine reward reserved for those who lived morally upright, while the realm of Hell is an eternal divine punishment for those who have committed moral transgressions (i.e. sins) and have remained unrepentant.

Christianity makes these definitions a bit more specific by specifying that entrance to Heaven is attained by living in accordance with God's teachings, seeking forgiveness for sins, and being in a state of grace through faith and good deeds, while Hell is a consequence of freely chosen, unrepented mortal sin, and the rejection of God's love and mercy.

Again, I want to emphasize that Sano was probably not trying to preach Christianity to her readers/viewers, but rather was using Christian themes to highlight the twins' differences, their development, and how they eventually found and accepted happiness. It is interesting to note the drastic differences in how they did so, and it is Dali's acceptance that is more impactful. This, as well as the significance of the concepts of Heaven and Hell in the story will be elaborated in a bit more detail in a subsequent post.

here’s a snippet of the au i’ve been working on for 6 million years lol

“Isn’t she beautiful?” Eiji said to Kazuto, not once removing his eyes from her.

“I mean, I see her almost every week anyway…” Kazuto mumbled, thankful Eiji didn’t hear.

Yuna and Eiji had been dating for four months now, and it was very well known in their friend group exactly how the couple had met. It had been here, at Dicey’s, the city’s most popular strip club, where Yuna worked as a dancer. Eiji came in one night, and, as he described it, “immediately knew she was The One” from the moment he saw her on stage. He’d spoken to her after her show, they’d exchanged Instagram handles, and the rest was history.

Once Yuna had found a spot to stand, the blonde girl from before continued talking into the microphone, “Give it up for Yuna, everyone!”

Kazuto clapped sheepishly, awkward about applauding the idea of his friend’s girlfriend taking her clothes off in front of him, but he reminded himself that she was a professional, they were friends, and he wanted to be supportive of both her and Eiji.

She let the cheers die down before she started again, “And of course, for her first-ever performance, please show some love to our newest recruit, Asuna!”

Somehow, despite how loud it was, the second Kazuto saw the girl step out onstage, everything went quiet.

Her long chestnut hair seemed to curve around her as if she’d styled it that way, maybe she specifically had, and her bangs fell just short of covering her eyes. Then his gaze settled on her face, and God, she looked like an angel. Her big brown eyes scanned around the room, her red lips shined with some kind of gloss.

He didn’t even notice Eiji nudging him in the arm until it started to grow sore.

“Dude, you’re totally checking her out.”

“What? No, I’m not!” Kazuto shot back, but Asuna started to walk over and he couldn’t deny that he hoped she’d walk closer to them.

[hamausagi]

Eiji leaned on his hand as he watched the man across from him talk, his blue-green eyes were wide with what the man could only describe as wonder. He looked so pleased as he showed off the various shells and some gems he had in his pockets. The day had barely broken above them, the sky still orange as sun rays flitted through the windows.

The man who resided at the shrine found the kitsune’s behaviour almost confusing. He kept coming back, for reasons Eiji himself wasn’t entirely sure. And he always came back with gaps, as if the night that kept them apart were blind spots he couldn’t reach. But Eiji merely brushed off the kitsune’s odd amnesia.

Because, well, he kept coming back.

Mechanical heart stirred. 

“Oh and this one! Look how smooth it is.” Katsumi reached out, taking Eiji’s hand in his own so he could drop the smooth purple stone in his palm. His fingers and hands were fully bandaged, and Eiji wondered if he did it himself every day.. Eiji tore his attention away from the kitsune’s warm touch, inspecting the shiny purple stone given to him.

He lifted his head, mismatched eyes met Katsumi’s inquisitive gaze. His ear twitched as he mulled over the thoughts in his head. “Well? Pretty, right?” Katsumi cocked his head to the side, a large smile spreading over his face. Eiji noted the gash that spread across the bridge of his nose and cheeks. It looked old, but it was still deep, the scar raised. 

Blue makeup accented his eyes, but on closer inspection, it looked haphazardly put on. Probably to protect his sensitive eyes from the sun. Eiji knew why he was noticing all these things, he figured it out when Katsumi kept coming back with a new story or new gift for the second month in a row.

“Eiji-san?” 

Katsumi’s eyes widened when cold lips pressed against his, but Eiji was quick to close his own, that felt more correct. His lips were warm, slightly chapped, and he tasted of berries, undoubtedly from the tart they’d shared. The kitsune relaxed against Eiji’s touch, but his kiss back was shy. It only made the feline more endeared.

But he paused when he heard a noise.

Loud thudding, echoed. No-

Eiji opened his eyes to see Katsumi’s soft expression, eyes closed, and his tails behind him- His tails whacked against the wooden floors excitedly. Oh.. the puppet was in deep.

I START SCREAMING AND WAILING IM LITERALLY SO OBSESSED WITH THEM ???? THEIR FIRST KISS ???????????????????

stop they way you write eiji is actually so spot on PERFECT this is literally exactly how i imagine him to be

eiji keeps this purple stone btw. he turns it into a necklace he wears under his hakama 🥺💕

i'd like to think that at one point in his life, eiji mourned the supposed absence of his heart just like his 'brother', but after he meets katsumi he feels as if he's had one all along. he just needed a little help realizing it

im literally so obsessed with the way you wrote him bro i will not shut up. the way he listens and picks apart katsumi's appearance without so much as a word but still listens and then just. oh shit. wait i kinda like this guy lol. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH YOU DONT UNDERSTANDDDDD I LOVE THEM THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY 😭😭

[xitty]

Hello.... If you don't mind me asking, who are your favorite romantic relationship's couples in books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series (can be canon or non-canon)? Feel free if you want to write the reasons or not of why you love them...Thanks if you want to answer....

Ohohoh, I don't mind at all! I've been fujoshi since forever (and I mean it, one of the very first anime I watched was Gravitation), so this is dominated by m/m couples, of various states of canon... Warning: long post.

My OTPs are Wataru/Eichi from Ensemble Stars and Yuki/Momo from IDOLiSH7. I could write essays (and sort of have done) about Wataru and Eichi, I sometimes joke I don't need romance novels because Wataru and Eichi provide all the twists, from graduation rooftop "proposal" to flirting in front of their unitmates to jealous fits to bragging about their relationship to others. There's almost 9 years of lore here so I'll just say here that their story is superb and they are my jam.

Yuki and Momo are just the most married and cute and funny couple. And funnily have some similar beats as Wataru and Eichi, where one (Yuki, Eichi) was devastated by something to point they didn't really see any reason to continue and the other (Momo, Wataru) came to drag them out of their gloom.

I have other Ensemble Stars ships I enjoy too: Tatsumi/Mayoi, Nagisa/Hiyori, Izumi/Leo, Rinne/Niki... I usually go for ships that have fair amount of canon material and these do.

I have one more OTP: Shizuma and Minato from Therapy Game. Aaa, their relationship is great because Minato *knows* all his own faults and tries to be rational but it's so hard, and Shizuma understands that and has patience of a saint. But Shizuma also doesn't always understand how some of his innocent actions towards other people look to Minato. But they are really cute and hot too. And I bow to Meguru Hinohara for her storytelling and art, her other series, The Dragon's Betrothed is good too.

Other manga couples I like are Hirano & Kagiura from Sasaki & Miyano, and their own spin-off series of course. I like Sasamiya a lot too, they are really sweet but I find myself being more invested in Hirano and Kagi's thing.

Ok, what next... I just finished The Case Files of Jeweler Richard novel vol. 7, so Seigi and Richard. If there ever was what's-actually-gonna-happen?? slowburn, it's here. Seigi is damn slow and Richard communicates in riddles but man I'm invested. I also bow to Nanako Tsujimura for these books, love them.

Speaking of slowburns and slow realizations and dumb communication (/affectionate), the danmei royalty of Hua Cheng and Xie Lian and Lang Wangji and Wei Wuxian. Both are very good. I love the trope of love transcending time and all that, so Hua Cheng waiting for 800 years for Xie Lian ticks this box so hard.

I'm also basic, so of course Viktor and Yuuri from Yuri On Ice are on my list. Same also for Ash and Eiji from Banana Fish. Touya and Yukito from Cardcaptor Sakura. Oh, I quite like Cherry blossom and Joe from Sk8 too.

I have a bunch of Genshin Impact ships I enjoy. I'm most invested in Alhaitham/Kaveh and Diluc/Kaeya. I like ships that have a past, I'm sure you noticed.

Ok, should I mentioned relationship that nobody probably knows about... But I keep thinking it a lot. There's this BL visual novel called Tokyo Onmyoji, the main character Rei is dealing with all kinds of supernatural problems as onmyoji. One of the routes is with his childhood friend Suguru and that route is beeeest. It's so good, deals with trauma and family trouble and their past and aaa now I'd like to read it again.

Also, Dramatical Murder is my least favourite Nitro+Chiral visual novel but damn, Koujaku and Aoba are so good couple, it ticks again so many boxes for me. (why oh whyyyyy that gorgeous figure of them is so expensive?! I can't justify myself to get pieces of plastic that cost two month's rent...)

Alright, let's pretend for a moment I'm not completely rotten woman... One of my favourite game couples is Eirika and Seth from Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones. It again gives me the "I've always liked you but I have kept my distance for reasons". I'm also in the Cloud/Tifa (minority?) camp for FFVII ships.

Kiyoka and Miyo from My Happy Marriage are het couple I'm really behind. I like how they are in the "so good for each other" category and how they've had to work on their relationship. The anime didn't show Kiyoka's thoughts that much but in the books he's also still learning how to be a good boyfriend/husband.

Shin and Lena from 86. Often I'm just "ok" about obvious couples like these but they are the exception. I think maybe it helped that they were separated soon after they got to know each other and then had to sort of got to know each other again.

Oh btw, I do read yuri too but I'm usually more into the series as a whole or one character's personal growth rather than their relationship. Like Sayaka from Bloom Into You. She's my favourite character from the series and I like her spin-off light novel series but I'm most into her finding peace with herself and love in general, if you understand what I mean. But! Hanako and Alice from Goodbye, My Rose Garden manga are my favourite yuri couple! Escaping relationship/marriage that people expect for you but you don't want, to unite with your true love is a trope I'm really fond of.

But Xitty, do you have any Western media couples you like? Well, murder husbands aka Hannibal and Will Graham I think of fondly and love forever. I was very very big Sherlock and John shipper (BBC ver.) and you can't take that away really. I'm also basic when it comes to Doctor Who, so Tenth Doctor and Rose make my heart flutter and eyes cry for their doomed (kinda) story. I just find myself watching less and less Western shows, so I don't even know what's happening there nowadays.

Umm... maybe that's it for now? Thank you everyone who read till the end. :D

[cuddly-asexual]

Okay @buffintruder and @allpurposepanda convinced me to do this fic writer asks post, even though I didn't write too much this year. So here goes!

1.What’s something new that you tried in a fic this year? How did it turn out and would you do it again?

I wasn’t consciously thinking about trying something new, but I did write a fic from the point of view of a child which was pretty fun. I think it turned out pretty well. I think most media tends to miss what kids are likely to notice and think about (at least based off the kids I work with), so I did try to make sure I included those things. For example a tall bookcase might seem towering to a small child, or how a relatively short amount of time can seem extremely long to them when they’re simply waiting. I would definitely do it again, it’s fun practice for getting into the minds of characters you like even when you never see what they were like as children.

2. How many fics did you work on this year? (They don’t have to be finished or published!)

I definitely didn’t finish much this year, but I chipped away at quite a few wips. I posted 3 fics. I have another unposted, but finished. I wrote a few paragraphs for one of my wildermyth characters. I rewrote a decent chunk of a school nurse files fic. Other than those it was mostly just a few words here and there on my various unfinished works. Surprisingly most of my creative energy this year went to drawing.

3. What’s something you learned about yourself as a writer?

I don’t think I learned anything new about myself as a writer. I’ve known for sometime that writing is a bit spontaneous for me. I guess I’m coming to realize that I’m pretty good at writing dialogue, which is always nice.

4. What piece of media inspired you the most?

Well if we were talking about drawing that would be one thing monkie kid, but for writing probably Wildermyth. Even though I didn’t finish any of the pieces I’m writing for it, the writing in the game itself was so lovely to read. It felt like someone was reading a storybook to me, kind of like a bedtime story, with a soft voice.

5. What fandom(s) did you write for this year?

I wrote more original stuff this year, but I wrote for A3! and Kamen Rider OOO. School Nurse Files as well sorta.

6. What ship(s) captured your heart?

Haha the made up ship in my brain of one of my Wildermyth characters, Ystral, and the star in the Minuet event, good LORD they didn’t leave my brain for weeks. In-Pyo and Eun-Young from School Nurse Files also dominated my mind for a while there too. I rewatched the series again this year and man those two are so AAA. They were on my mind more last year, but since I posted a fic about them this year I’ll mention that Goda Eiji and Ankh make me go insane. Also I haven’t started any fics for them yet, but I had lots of ideas for Alear and Pandreo from fire emblem engage.

7. What character(s) captured your heart?

Again, mostly oc’s. I worked a lot on one world in particular so my baby, Aurelius (full grown woman in her 50’s), took over my mind for a while there. I’m also constantly thinking about Juza and I had been missing him. I had lots of thoughts, for both writing and drawing, about Clayton and Al from The Deep.

8. Did you write for a new fandom or ship this year?

Wildermyth was probably the only new one this year. The only new things I was into this year were channeled into drawing more than writing.

9. What fic meant the most to you to write?

Ooh this is a tough one, but probably my Juban fic for Juza’s birthday. First, because I really wanted to write it for his birthday. Second, because I wanted to explore a specific aspect of his character, his thoughts on touch. Juza grew up pretending to be someone he wasn’t because of the way others treated him, but when he came to mankai he’s able to be more himself now that he’s surrounded by people that support him. One of these things being that he actually quite enjoys physical affection and it was nice to write about him rediscovering that part of himself.

10. What fic made you feel the happiest to work on?

Working on my Wildermyth fic made me feel giddy like a school girl, you have no idea. My heart fucked SWELLED for these 2D bitches. And it’s not even done yet.

11. What fic was the most satisfying to finish writing?

My OOO fic for sure. I had been sitting on the idea for a long time and I finally kicked my ass into gear to finish it and boy that was a fun writing session. I just really wanted to show how evil I was for that idea hehehe.

12. What fic was the most difficult to write? Did you finish it?

My School Nurse Files fic eludes me constantly. I definitely like parts of it, but I’ve rewritten the beginning at least 3 times, I just don’t like how any of them came out. I have yet to finish it, but I haven’t given up on it yet!

13. What fic was the easiest to write?

Probably my Juban fic. I’ve written Juza and Banri enough that they come to me pretty easily. As long as I have a concept ready I can write anything for those two.

14. What were your shortest and longest fics this year?

Just going with the finished ones of course. My shortest was the first part of Ocean Memory, my original work about some oc's, at 734 words and my longest was my OOO fic at 1431 words. Pretty standard for me I think, a little on the short side this year.

15. Rec a fic you wrote or posted in 2023

My OOO’s fic please, I had way too much fun writing it. I love when a loved one gets body snatched by something that pretends to still be that person.

16. What were you go-to writing songs?

I usually just play my big instrumental music playlist that has everything from video game music to movie soundtracks to experimental ambient electronica, but this year was probably a lot of the Grindstone soundtrack.

17. What were your go-to writing snacks?

Don’t have anything specific, but I usually always have a coke on hand.

18. What was the hardest fic to title?

THAT FUCKING OOO FIC. This title eluded me that’s why I just said fuck it and picked something stupid. “A Wish Is a Dream Your Heart Makes”??? bro WHAT.

19. Share your favorite opening line

Opening lines are not really my forte, I’m not really sure I have a favorite, but I like the imagery in my Wildermyth fic.

He sees stars behind his eyelids now. Countless, warm and flickering like soft flames.

20. Share your favorite ending line

That he was happy and healthy and loving life brought endless joy to her heart. Pallas was truly a precious child.

Technically there’s a line of dialogue after this, but anyway, I love writing Aurelius being happy about baby Pallas expressing his feelings.

21. Share your favorite piece of dialogue

“Hey, Settsu. Do you wanna cuddle?” It’s an odd sentence, something he’s never asked someone before, but Banri’s name feels like it belongs there. He doesn't miss how the other perks up, then tries to disguise it as a stretch. Banri pulls out of his hold to face him. “Never thought I’d hear that from your mouth,” Banri smirks playfully. Juza lets out a chuckle.  “Never thought I’d hear it from my own mouth either,” his gaze finds Banri’s. “It feels…natural though. Saying it to you.” He can’t read Banri’s thoughts, but he sees the other make an expression that’s something between fondness and annoyance. “Ugh, you really just said that,” Banri falls onto his back, face in his hands, with a groan. Juza raises an eyebrow in response. “You gonna join me down here or am I supposed to cuddle myself?”

I really liked this exchange between Juza and Banri. The way Banri jokes to make everything a little less intense (also he’s absolutely flustered), and how Juza responds with genuine honesty. I think I captured the vibe I wanted super well.

22. Share an excerpt from your favorite scene

He sees stars behind his eyelids now. Countless, warm and flickering like soft flames. They bring him comfort. One of the many reminders of that night almost a year ago. Ystral's leg glows with a soft blue-white light. The tips of his fingers begin to show signs of it as well. A small smile finds its way to his mouth as he admires the way they sparkle. You wear it well. A familiar whisper circles around him. His smile fades. A pang of guilt makes him want to deny the statement, but the thoughts are gently guided away, replaced with wordless reassurances. The unpleasant thoughts could never win. Not when the very stars opposed them.

I had a lot of fun with this opening scene to my Wildermyth fic. Writing anything with stars gets my creative juices flowing and boom we get crazy poetic shit like this.

23. Share the final version of a sentence or paragraph you struggled with. What about it was challenging? Are you happy with how it turned out?

Gonna be real, I have no idea.

24. What's something that surprised you while you were working on a fic? Did it change the story?

Every time I write Banri I somehow make him even more mushy and soft, so it’s a surprise every time.

25. What did you use to write? (e.g. writing programs, paper & pen, etc.)

Just Google Docs really.

26. If you had to choose one, what was THE most satisfying writing moment of your year?

Finishing that OOO fic after watching it stare at me for like almost a year.

27. Did you do anything special to celebrate finishing a fic?

Not really. They were all pretty short, not super life-changing pieces.

28. How did you recharge between fics?

Play games, draw, rewatch stuff to get back in the mood.

29. If this were an awards show, who would you thank?

My friends who listen to me rant about my crazy ideas all the time. Juza for being an unending font of inspiration.

30. What’s something that you want to write in 2024?

SO MANY THINGS. My Wildermyth fic for sure. I have some ideas for The Deep that I also really wanna write. I really want to write something longer for once. I think my goal this year is to write a 5k word fic. I have so many ideas I’m sitting and still so many more wips to finish. Good luck to 2024!
