[wip] JJK acting agency au fanfic

read me ⤷ () is like y/n or where my oc will be !! ⤷ and please excuse my grammar i havent really proofread it yet ⤷ mainly nanami x reader/oc - but also some geto x reader, gojo x reader, satosugu, toji x reader n more!! ⤷ edit: made a cute little banner!!!!

At Star Crossed Acting Agency (Or SCAA) there are only 300 cubicles. Not including offices, meeting rooms or board rooms. But actual cubicles. So of course () scratched her head pacing around the 15th floor wondering where her cubicle would be. She was assigned Cubicle 707.

There were countless employees at the agency and there were even more clients too, but more then 700 cubicles? Even SCAA couldn’t manage that, even as one of the biggest acting agencies in the world. …No, THE biggest. You’re guaranteed stardom if you just were signed to SCAA, there were countless famous actors and there was even a sister company called Star Crossed Modelling Agency (Or SCMA). It was like a huge safety net for the rich and famous. Diligent PR, connections with many big directors, brands and studios.

Maybe not a safety net for its employees. Because if there was one thing () couldn’t say is that  she wasn't stressed. Her old manager was notorious for being picky, arrogant and a tyrant. Work was hell on earth but it paid well.

It's no wonder the offices were all well decorated with the same moody blue paint used throughout as accents. Curtains framing the floor to ceiling windows, overhanging lamps, arched door frames, beautiful natural light. An office worker’s dream to be working brutally at least somewhere somewhat aesthetically pleasing.

But that wasn’t the only perk in this hell hole. 

The actors.

Every once in a while one of your favorite (And somewhat narcissistic) celebrity crushes could be just roaming the halls, talking to employees, and their managers. It’s not rare for somewhere like SCAA.

hey guys!! so heres the first bit of my jjk acting agency au fanfic. this is a nanami x reader/oc focused story, but really it also includes toji, geto, and gojo and appearances of more of the jjk cast!!

not sure if want this to be x reader or oc..

and still thinking abt the title!! might be cubicle 707 but still not sure..

luv miki!

NEVER TRUST YOUR AGENT: how human interests never align

does anyone understand why (some) parents want grandchildren so badly? i don't get it

[solemnlyswearnogood]

When you want to apply for an acting agency but u dont because u know ur parents would never support u ✌✌

Anyways i also think that Chuuya SHOULD NOT be the Port Mafia boss to be totally honest witchu. If his entire experience with the Sheep, and the way he cracked under pressure as the interim leader during cannibalism, and like, THE BEAST EPILOGUE, had anything to say it's that Chuuya's not fit to be the leader of an organization such as that.

Bc Chuuya's good at adapting, he's good at spur of the moment decisions. He's good with battle tactics. We see his actual leadership abilities shine when he's commanding the mafia troops to protect the city during the guild arc. In cannibalism, his plan to rush the ADA with a full frontal attack was a SOLID idea. But he loses his advantage as soon as he hesitates and opens the table for negotiation instead.

BECAUSE Chuuya's not good at playing the long game like Mori or Dazai. He's reactionary and it's his nature to get overwhelmed by his emotions. He takes on too much responsibility but loses focus due to personal reasons. That what happens in 15 where he blows off the Sheep to go on a life changing field trip with Dazai. That's why he was taken out of the picture so easily to go on a life changing field trip with Ranpo in Cannibalism. (Damn maybe this is why he's on a life changing field trip with Fyodor as a vampire currently).

Essentially even though Asagiri has been really tying Chuuya's character with the themes of leadership, we've mostly been shown why he wouldn't be a good fit. Either this plot point will trend towards Chuuya actually learning how to be a good leader OR he won't end up as one. IN ANY CASE what we know abt Chuuya makes me really think that being the Port Mafia's boss is a terrible idea. He's not fit for the role and frankly, I think he'd hate it.

REVOLUTIONARY GIRL UTENA 🌹 EP 10: NANAMI'S PRECIOUS THING

[sarcastic-clapping]

already seeing people who clearly don’t understand that a lot of us who are upset about what happened to marwa in this episode aren’t upset about the characters’ in-universe morality but the real life misogyny and racism in the way that this plot was handled lol

[dootznbootz]

I'm happy that the "Helen is of Sparta, not Troy" post is getting seen and people are giving love to her as they should but I'm getting a wee bit frustrated by the Menelaus inclusion with the whole "She was a possession to others and never had a choice".

Yes, Helen is a victim of fate and multiple horrible circumstances. She gets kidnapped by Theseus and Paris. So much blame is being put on her when she really isn't at fault and doesn't have much choice.

A choice she made though? WAS MENELAUS!

The Oath of Tyndareus was all about how "If you want to have a chance of marrying her, you have to swear to respect her and her choice and defend their marriage if it's needed".

If anything, Menelaus was her "prize"! Not the other way around!!! And they are clearly shown caring for one another!!! uyfuygluhyutfugy

Encephalitis lethargica hit in 1916. Edwin Payne died in 1916. I suspect the way he died implies a fate to lethargica if he hadn't been snatched by Edwardian hazers first. DESPAIR TOUCHES EDWIN BEFORE DREAM COULD. It's why they're friends! This is why Despair knows him so well! She met him LONG before Death or Dream ever could

nonbinary helsknight is so funny to me. i think that welsknight was their trans awakening not in a gender envy way but in a “whatever gender this guy is i am Not that one” way

CANON

Helsknight popped into the world and said, "You know what? No, actually." His first decision for himself was gender, his next decision was to fight Wels, the rest is history--

[jaegerbroshoe]

People please… Jinx literally knew Silco and Vander’s history. Y’all acting like she never questioned what led to the events in the cannery (unlike Vi, who just takes it at face value that Silco MUST be evil for what he did and Vander MUST have been an angel who didn’t reap what he sowed)/Silco lied about what transpired between them so he could use her and that’s why Jinx stayed with him.

But no, she’s clearly known the truth for YEARS.

Why is it so hard to believe she’d understand Silco’s motives then? Or here’s a more radical idea…that she actually agrees with him and believes in the cause? She has every reason to want independence from Piltover and the Enforcers’ rule.

Chapter 2: Coffee Pod

where to read fic ao3 wattpad (link coming soon!)

(f) Gained her composure

“Yeah.. uhm..”

“Where’s-”

“Oh, did you get 707?” 

“It’s a long running department system error. You have 202”

Oh great right in front of his office, and right in his line of sight. She already hated working in front of someone, because it felt like someone was hovering on her back, watching her every move. 

“..Thank you Sir”

“Just doing my job, and don’t call me sir Nanami is fine” he said with a slight smile but he still didn’t look up from his screen

“I see..“

He typed a couple things on his laptop again before looking back up at her.

“(f) Right?”

“Yeah..”

“...How long have you worked here.. Nanami..?”

“About.. 3 years.. I’d say”

“Oh really.. I’ve been working here for about a year”

“But.. I’ve never seen you before..”

“I worked in HR that’s probably why”

“Oh.. I see”

The conversation was corporate and honestly extremely hard to carry out. How many times did she say “oh” again. Was that the 4th time.. Maybe 5th..? Yes he was trying but the air felt tense, what could she say to escape the conversation.

“Don’t you have to clock in now? You should do that now before the system marks you late” Nanami said, glancing up, but not meeting her gaze looking at the clock above the door behind her.

“..Uh yeah..”

Nanami looked back at his screen, and she was happy that she gave her such an obvious social cue to leave, making it not awkward for the both of them. Of course he’s probably dealt with these situations on a regular basis so he’s probably an expert at shooing annoying staff out of his office. 

But he did it so casually, almost feeling, and sensing her anxiety.  

She swiftly left the room going to her desk that was definitely way too close to his office for her liking. 

After sitting down (f) was logging into the work pc and placing her waterbottle down on the desk before she felt a tap on her shoulder

“(f) you sure striked out” A tall figure said with long black hair partially up in a small bun, he said it jokingly and with a chuckle. He was probably referring to how her cubicle was right by Namai’s.

“Suguru?” (f) said while turning her chair around to face him. With Suguru taking one of the other cubicle chairs and sitting down, rolling to her.

“Yes?”

“Aren’t you in Marketing?”

“Now I’m in talent management” 

(f) stopped for a second slightly stunned at Suguru’s decision to switch over to Talent Management. He seemed like the type of person who hated being bossed around, working around someone’s busy schedule. 

When (f) first met Suguru he was easy going and easy to talk to, with many of (f)’s coworkers being a lot older than her it was nice having a friend around the same age as her. They occasionally had lunch together and mostly saw each other during work. A very polished work friendship. 

They first bonded over making fun of their department boss. Even though he was in Marketing and she was in Client services the company organized things based on the following AMRD (Actor & Modelling Relations Department), AMDD (Actor & Modelling Development Department), and the AMHD (Acor & Modelling Health Department). Suguru and (f) were both in AMRD, since she worked in Client Services and he worked in Marketing.

With him now in Talent Management they’d be working more closely together, and she was excited about having someone she knows being now an important part of her work. 

“Why do you seem so shocked? It’s just for this year.” Suguru said while (f) zoned back in after reflecting on how the two of them met. 

“Surprisingly there’s a staff shortage in TM. I’m here temporarily.”

“I get paid a lot more too”

“Oh… Cool..”

“You seem down” Suguru said, and now (f) realized he was sitting on the chair backwards resting his arms on the back of the chair with both his legs around the spine of it. 

“Just.. tired..”

“Did you meet the department manager yet?”

Suguru perked up and paused for a moment.

“Did that old geezer finally quit?”

“I think he just moved departments…”

“I didn’t even know we had a new manager-” Suguru was cut off by the sound of glass cracking towards the break room. He and (f) got up walking over to it to see two employees that (f) had never seen before.

One had pink messy hair, definitely breaking dress code with his bright red hoodie and froze at the sight of (f) and Suguru. While another, this time a slightly shorter girl with a short brown bob beside him.

“W-we swear it..”

“Cameras broken here so don’t sweat it” Suguru said nonchalantly to help ease the mood.

“We won’t tell anyone promise” Suguru added while nudging (f)’s shoulder

“Yuji If you didn’t put the largest setting it wouldn’t of overflowed and-” The girl was cut off before Yuji started speaking again.

“Well if you helped me instead of just standing there..” 

The two bickered while Nobara grabbed the collar of Yuji’s hoodie before (f) and Suguru decided to actually do something.

“Hey it's no big deal..” Suguru could tell they were probably just 2 close friends bickering and squabbling but there was no need to be upset at a glass breaking. Especially not at Star Crossed they could afford a new one. In fact they could afford  thousands of glass factories. 

“Ohh the machine? The buttons are extremely finicky I honestly don’t know anyone used it without help on their first time” (f) realized the broken glass was because of them not using the machine properly. She did her best to reassure that they did nothing wrong.

“You really have to use some force to click the buttons and be really particular about how you put in the pod” (f) said before walking behind the door to grab a broom to sweep and dispose of the glass. 

“Yeah… Are you guys new here? Suguru asked the pair

“We are! - New interns” Yuji responded

“And what's your name?” Suguru asked directed the girl

“Nobara Kugisaki!”

“What are you guys doing? Like as interns”

“Content creation!” Nobara said with Yuji energetically nodding. (f) was sweeping up the glass that fell in front of the two of them. (f) smiling a bit seeing how the both of them switched up both energetically to talk about their near jobs.

“Oh! Thank you so much.. I was gonna clean it up uh..”

“(f) (l)” (f) said with a smile to Yuji with both of them giving her space to sweep it up.

“And Suguru Geto” Suguru added.

Shortly after (f) taught them how to properly use the machine, explaining the quirks and tricks to make the thing actually work. Everyone working in the department had been begging for a new one but none of the higher ups, HR or anyone really cared or responded.

But nobody could say it tasted bad. Because it was definitely some good coffee. It was just the old machine.

Eventually Nobara and Yuji left their cubicles on the opposite side of the floor from (f), and Suguru had a cubicle that was a little bit further away from her. If she stood up she could see him in the distance.

(f)’s first mission of the day was to meet with a new model, ask them about all their goals, personal schedule, manager preferences and to set them up with someone in Talent Management. 

Her client asked if they could meet in a cafe so (f) made it a point to reserve the cafe attached to the Star Crossed building. Today it was especially slow, and perfect too since while she didn’t know the name of her client, if they were super famous it could cause a lot of issues when meeting them.

Like a fan interrupting the interview, or paparazzi taking pictures of them meeting. 

It was risks like this that prevented the company from normally letting CS (Client Services) take their clients out to places without the whole place being reserved. But with (f)’s ex manager dropping this on her so last minute that wasn’t possible right now.

She would just have to pray for the best.

–

Arriving at the cafe she waited at the table for this new mysterious celebrity to come. Well maybe they're not a celebrity, upcoming models and actors are normally the ones signing to Star Crossed to get big, so the chances she normally meets a celebrity are..

(f) was on her phone anxiously waiting for her new client not because she was nervous. Okay well maybe a bit nervous because she had no one to text so she was checking her weather app, scrolling through her gallery. Anything to make herself look busy. But why? She meets with clients on a regular - if anything daily basis. Why was she so… nervous?

And then he walked in. 6’3 with frosty white hair, big blue eyes…. Was that Satoru Gojo?

And suddenly she realized her gut feeling almost predicted this. That THE Satoru Gojo was her client. And she’d have to talk to him for the next.. Hour?

“Are you (f?)” Satoru said happily standing right before her. 

“Yeah!..That's me..” (f) said awkwardly internally thinking to herself that what she just said was embarrassing, and that she wanted to roll over and die.

“Great!” Satoru said, sitting down calling a waiter over.

“..So what made you choose Star Crossed.. Over your current agency?” (f) asked finally feeling like she gained her composure before getting out her laptop opening a document to fill things out.

“Not flexible, communication is pretty bad too”

“I wanted to move to a agency where I would have more freedom, and flexibility”

“I see..” (f) said before typing some things on her laptop with the waiter coming over to their table.

“Hi.. what would you guys like?”

“Oh! Hey Junpei… The usual”

The waiter had black hair with side bangs and seemed extremely timid. Which anyone would deduce to that fact he's talking to Satoru Gojo, but that’s just how he always is.

“..Got it…”

“And you?”

“Whatever she's getting” Satoru said with a smile  

(f) was caught off guard by his response but ignored it. This was work, a client interview, a client interview with Satoru Gojo at a cafe, Shes at a cafe alone with Satoru Gojo…

(f) let out a corporate, professional, and definitely not flirty chuckle at what Satoru said before looking back to the document with all the information she needed from him. And Junpei left to prepare the order.

“Anything you want to achieve with us?”

“Nah.. I plan on relaxing a bit”

“Old agency had a lot of restrictions with the time you can have off and projects but I hope to still work but.. Take it easy.”

“..Yeah I get that.. I wish I could take time off” 

“What's your personal schedule”

“Wake up, Work out, Shower, Eat, if I have a shoot I go to the shoot, but if I have a show I get picked up, I get ready and do the show. If I’m free I’ll do anything really..”

“Like..?” (f) Asking to see if he had any hobbies, interests, anything really. And also to speed through this interview trying to hit as many birds with as few stones as possible.

“You know.. Uh..”

“Do.. You know what Digimon is”

(f) stopped typing for a second looking up, surprised at the mention of Digmon. It was unexpected for a man like him to like it. She was expecting the specification of his hobbies or stuff to be in his spare time to be something rich people do like golf, or like gambling…

“I do, I watched the show as a kid”

“I.. like watching that or playing the games.. Or trying dessert cafes”

“That's cool” (f) said trying to contain her laughter, Not because she didn’t like Digmon or anything or that it was stupid for someone like him to like it. It was just so unexpected. She expected anything but that. And the desserts..

“Any preferences for your manager?” (f) said while Junpei came back with their coffee placing it down with a smile and (f) returning it

“Someone patient for sure. Most of my managers complain I’m hard to deal with”

“Okay noted…” (f) typed, picturing it too. Most celebrities were extremely hard to deal with and she knew from experience. Like one of her clients Naoya Zenin. He was famous for all his teen roles as a young adult. The bad boy second lead. And now he’s in more action shows. 

But Naoya was definitely nothing like his character, he wasn’t a badass with a soft spot. He was an ass. An asshole. Once he ordered (f) to get him coffee, when that is not her job or role. And he's smart enough to know better. Or how he yells at makeup artists and stylists. In other words he was unbearable. 

(f) couldn’t picture Satoru like that. 

They talked a little bit more and Satoru was a natural at small talk. He knew all the right things to say and when to say them, how to say them and the perfect moment to smile. He never missed a beat. It was satisfying to have such a smooth conversation with someone. Satoru was easygoing, humble…and attractive. 

Something about those cerulean eyes, his white hair. He definitely was a model. And she understood exactly why. She was also starting to think about who sent Satoru off to. He didn’t really say much but was patient, but most of the Talent Management were patient. Hence why they even are Talent Management.

Satoru took a sip out of his coffee, almost finishing it while (f) was barely done. In fact the coffee was completely full. It was a good thing it was served in a disposable cup with a lid, so at least after this she could still save it.

“It was nice talking to you Satoru…”

“You too (f)” He said with a smile taking his last sips out of the coffee cup before leaving a generous tip at the table (20 dollars for Junpei) before getting up. (f) got her laptop and put it in her bag before getting up too. 

(f) reached out her hand for a handshake and Satoru shook her hand. And they were soft. Baby skin is smooth and soft. It was taking everything in her to stay professional, stay calm, stay..

“Oh and can I have your number? I didn’t see it in the email” Satoru hummed

“Uh.. Yeah.. Of course” (f) tried to remember that this was for work, this was her client, and if anything happened she’d be sent and shipped to HR, not like he would be interested in someone like her. He was a celebrity. He was a model…

She typed in her number sending herself a Hi before walking out the door with him. When she saw someone about to enter the Cafe. 

“(f)? What are you doing here…”

“Client interview.. Don’t you have access to that information”

“I didn’t see anything..” Nanami said looking to the side trying to recall if he checked her schedule. (Which he did a couple times, did he look stupid right now?)

“My old manager was bad at writing this stuff down, he probably didn’t put it in”

“..Yeah.. Probably”

“Mr. Gojo your driver is here”

“Oh hey.. It was nice meeting you (f)! We’ll be in touch” Satoru waved. A bodyguard collected Satoru and walked him out of the building while (f) was left with Nanami. (f) was a little bit sad he was leaving so soon.

“...How was it?” Nanami’s voice cut her thoughts off and she looked up at him. He said that a bit interrogatively. 

“It was good, I’m thinking I set up Suguru with him”

“Oh yes, I saw him on the system he's in Talent Management because of the staff shortage right?”

“Yes, I think he’d be a good fit”

“Set that up whenever you’re able to connect with him..”

‘..I will.. Thanks Nanami..“ And there it is again the awkward feeling of trying to run out and escape a conversation. What excuse was she gonna use this tim-

“..I have something to take care of now.. If you need anything stop by my office or contact me” Nanami said, it was like he always knew what to say.

“Oh.. yeah..”

Nanami gave her a slight nod while putting his phone to his ear and heading back to his office. And the rest of the day (f) was spent considering Satoru’s manager and filling out all the documents, notes and anything the manager would find helpful. And to make his transition to a new agency smooth.

Oh and she still had her coffee from the Cafe. It was definitely more luxurious than the coffee machine in the break room. And expensive too. It’s good that it was on the Agency’s dime and not hers.

this chapter is defintly a lot longer than the first one, i hope you guys liked it! let me know what you think about it!!

luv miki!

people who are weird about will graham in an infantilizing, ableist way are so incomprehensible to me, not because i'm normal about him but because there's so many other ways to be weird about him and that's the one you chose?

[bonefall]

Jesus Christ. I've never read Yellowfang's Secret and it's insane to me that what we see of Lizard is supposed to be "evil woman" like from the screenshots you posted this is really and truly someone who is being forced to bear children. Forced to care for them. Lashing out that her husband can keep doing his job and she has to drop everything to care for children she didn't want. And that horrible shit from Ragged oh my God dude.

It's SO fucked up!! That exchange with Hollyflower is HORRIFYING!!!

Like, during the Brokenkit Handoff, she's shouting about not wanting to raise every unwanted kit and how badly she hates this, only for Raggedstar to start bellowing at her to shut her mouth. He's able to "convince" her based on on "ambition" they slapped onto the character in that moment, but when you really step back and look at the context, it just reads like she realizes she has no fucking choice

She's the only queen in the nursery. There was no "saying no"

Especially not to the deputy

NO ONE cares about Lizardstripe as a person, even though she's obviously really uncomfortable about being forced to birth and raise children

"I know she doesn't want this. That's too fucking bad. It's her duty as a woman" -Sagewhisker

I can't get over it. This book doesn't treat her like a person, it treats her like a bad vessel. She's a horrible mother because she DOESN'T WANT THIS, and the narrative condemns her, even partially blames her for A BABY-KILLING TYRANT, because she wasn't happy about the situation she was forced into.

Like... jesus christ!!
