AkaFuri AU w/ the plot of "Cherry Magic!"

Furihata is Adachi - an average, plain-looking office worker who gains the ability to hear people's thoughts after remaining a virgin for 30 years.

Akashi is Kurosawa - the most handsome, popular guy at his office who's well-liked by his colleagues...and he also happens to harbor a romantic crush on Furihata for a long, long time.

I never heard of this bl before but I've been reading the manga since and it's fantastic! (Apparently an anime adaptation is coming soon too!!) And it is so so akafuri coded

Furi and Adachi both being introvert types, quiet, kind, observant (although the observant thing is amplified considerably by him being able to read their thoughts). Akashi and Kurosawa both being "perfect popular guys" with a different closeted world far from that perception.

The entire time I was reading the manga I kept thinking back to this ask like, okay now they are in this shogo situation, Akashi is constantly thinking about how cute Furihata is, he's dreaming about their possible future together, there is all these mixed signals, their first date he is so nervous to make it the perfect date- he buys a $200 rose bouquet and arranges a helicopter tour over the city, he has their rings already bought- its all so akafuri coded!

But alas... the urge to insert fanon/canon is strong. It's hard to imagine an office au with Akashi Seijuurou without him being An Akashi. I'm not saying every fic or office au needs Akashi to be a big wig at daddy's company- I've enjoyed plenty of fics where he isn't. What I am saying is that the familiar tropes are calling me.

Kurosawa's main problem is that people sometimes only see him for his handsome face and the persona of "cool popular guy". Akashi's main problem is that he is an Akashi and how that affects how people see him and how his upbringing affects the way he interacts with the world. So an akafuri au makes more sense if Akashi's problems in the company are how everyone around him will always have the presumption that he is a nepo baby (which he is) but he is also damn good at his job and he feels the need to constantly put in the extra effort, the long hours, to get across that this is serious to him.

That all said, we will shift from the "we entered the company at the same time and have been colleagues for 5/6 years at the same department" to "Akashi began his circuit of the various departments at the same time that Furihata joined, spending a year at each department at an entry level position to see how every section works in application, and now he is going to be doing the circuit again but at a managerial/presidential position in each department so he gets a feel for the overview, such that in his late thirties he will have had experience in each department- both in the thick grunt work and eagle eye supervising- and finally he will work with his father in the executive offices training and be in the process to hand over the company when Akashi is in his fourties."

Yes very complicated, very drawn out plan. But I think this actually makes a lot of sense to me. Masaomi is a fine detail guy, he is going to raise Akashi in the same way. And when it comes to the thing that he has devoted his life to, I think Masaomi would want Akashi to understand and value the departments, the people, the history from the ground up. (I know its popular fanon that Akashi has been reviewing company documents from the time he was in high school/college- think this type of executive grunt work or internship (if you can call it that) would continue throughout his tours of the departments- we all know how over worked Akashi is, you think that will stop when he gets to the family company?? fjdskalfj)

I imagine that during their first year at the company something similar happens at a dinner with clients where Akashi takes Furihata's drink he doesn't want to drink and turns down one of the clients hanging on his arm. Akashi gets a bit too tipsy and ends up needing air and rests his head on Furihata's lap,

"Sorry, this is quite unprofessional of me."

Furihata laughs. "Maybe, but it's refreshing. You always seem so put together and serious. I forget we're the same age."

"Mmm." Akashi hums not sure what to say.

But Furihata continues on. "You work twice as hard as us and you stay behind most days of the week even when you don't have to. It's kinda scary, I sometimes wonder if you'll burn yourself out. Then I come in the next day and you're still smiling, greeting everyone. It's amazing. You're a hard worker, Akashi-san. But I really like this other side of you."

"... Thank you, Furihata-san."

And in the following weeks Akashi keeps an eye on Furihata, aware of a fluttering in his heart whenever they catch eyes. Then he has to switch departments. In the coming years he is watches the people coming into work, trying to look for Furihata and maybe exchange smiles or a word or two. But it's never enough for him. Yet, he has a job to do.

Years later with minimal interactions between them in the mornings or during company holiday events, Akashi is moved back to Furihata's department as a vice president. Furihata, for his part, has been promoted to team lead and is considered an integral part of the department. They work in close association and all seems normal.

Until Furihata's 30th birthday agshjdkd

I might mull on this a bit longer and mayyybbeee something may come out of it

「安達が魔法使いにならなかった世界線の話」 + 「もしもの話」 — english translation

[jibberjibbsart]

I love that I haven’t even finished Power Hour (the next part is coming! TLDR I adopted a cat and she’s taking up a lot of my time! She’s a cutie) but I already have an idea for a shorter comic.

Mabel sees the tension between Dean and Cas and she wants to play matchmaker and so she finds a flower that can be brewed into a tea and it will “reveal that which is hidden”. She thinks this means Dean and Cas will come clean about their feelings. She brews the tea and gives it to both of them, except Cas doesn’t drink it. “Too many molecules, but I appreciate the gesture.” Mabel isn’t sure what this means for the spell, but she hopes it works!

The next day Dean wakes up and pats Sam on the arm… and in his head he hears Sam’s voice “Jesus he stinks, hope he’s headed for the shower.” Dean is confused but he calls Sam a bitch and thinks nothing of it. Sam is also confused. Later Dean runs into Steven fixing up his car. Dean is happy to help and as he brushes against Steven’s shoulder he hears Steven’s voice this time “I’m so embarrassed, my dad lived in his van for how many years and I don’t know anything about cars. I can’t let Dean know that.” Dean flinches. Okay now it’s weird. He goes to Luz and Amity. He asks them if they can detect spells/curses/hexes. Neither of them are proficient in oracle magic but they can try. Amity grabs Dean’s hand and he hears “Maybe if he didn’t fight so many witches in the past he wouldn’t need to be worried about getting cursed.” She tells him she can’t detect anything.

Finally he’s back at his hotel and Cas is there reading a book. Cas asks him if everything is okay and Dean doesn’t reveal anything, just flops down onto the bed and sighs dramatically. Then Dean feels Cas’s reassuring hand on his back. Then he hears his voice “I hate seeing Dean like this, I wish there were a way to lift his spirits. He has a beautiful smile.” Dean’s eyes snap open and he looks at Cas wide eyed. Cas does his little head tilt and asks if everything’s okay. Dean just nods.

Yes this is based off of Cherry Magic, I just watched it and became obsessed with it

voice of someone who hasn't touched grass in years ermmm actually ships where one of the characters can read minds is problematic because there's a clear power imbalance and they'll never be on equal footing while one of them is always a step ahead

I feel the need to simply talk about the Dying of the Light AU with regards to Emmet's powers and why I wrote The Sun in Flight with such an emphasis on heat.

Of course Reshiram is a fire-type Legendary and as such is extremely powerful, and this extends somewhat to Emmet, as well. I wanted to emphasize the sheer intensity of Reshiram's fires, and did so by having Emmet describe it as "unbearable" and "incinerating," because Emmet himself can melt glass and sand.

And this is where we get to the main inspiration that set off all this hot-themed prose: a few tags on the reblog that inspired this au talked about Emmet possibly having a castle of glass, to mirror Ingo's castle of ice in Iced Tracks. Here's the thing.

Glass is made from melted sand -- or more accurately, silica, which is abundant in sand.

Sand melts at about 3,090 degrees Fahrenheit, or 1,700 degrees Celsius.

For comparison, lava is about 2,200 Fahrenheit.

LAVA.

Summary:

Wei Ying, virgin and noted heterosexual, gets hit with a curse of an unusual nature on his 30th birthday: Through physical contact, he can read the minds of others around him.

Enter Lan Zhan, hot former rival and current coworker, whose true thoughts about Wei Ying are nothing like he expects.

(A loose Cherry Magic AU.)

Chapter:2/2

Words:42,931

Status:completed

has he always looked at Lan Zhan that way, Wei Ying wonders? Has it always been so obvious to everyone but him? Through Lan Zhan’s eyes, Wei Ying sees himself warm and effusive and spilling over with joy, lit with sun. Oh, Lan Zhan had thought then, with the sensation like the drop from a cliff, he’s beautiful — Wei Ying snaps back to the present, the back of his head nearly colliding with the door as he gasps. Lan Zhan is watching him closely, so closely that Wei Ying can nearly see himself reflected in the wide dark of his pupils. If I could kiss him, Lan Zhan is thinking now, the ache of it a plucked chord. If he would let me ~~~

I adore you, Lan Zhan’s voice rings out in his head, the words as clear as the peal of a bell, and Wei Ying sucks in a breath, almost choking — he’s never been addressed like this directly, never been spoken to like this, never — Wei Ying, I adore you, Lan Zhan thinks to him, louder and surer, even as his mouth is otherwise occupied,

~~~

You like mean, Lan Zhan observes, his voice suddenly everywhere in Wei Ying’s head, and Wei Ying truly feels something melt and give way in his brain, a crack of heat that splits through him, white-hot. Okay, so it had taken Lan Zhan approximately three seconds to start using this newfound ability for evil.

Not even five minutes into Cherry Magic and I suddenly understand why I keep seeing so many au’s of it in various fandoms!! My favorites so far have definitely been mxtx au’s, but I may be biased…

Thinking about the fallen angel AU, thinking about kurosawa probably being a top angel like he's the top salesman, thinking about him having the favor of the gods, thinking about how none of that mattered once they ripped adachi from his life, thinking about how he couldn't let go of how painful it was to lose him, thinking about how he'd defy heaven to search for him because heaven just isn't the same without him, thinking about how heaven was only heaven to kurosawa if adachi’s there with him, thinking about how his obsession and devotion towards his fellow angel and the need to have him always by his side was stronger than his devotion to any god, thinking about how the author of this damn series really just said "Oh y'know how kurosawa is insane? What if I made him capable of inhuman levels of devotion"

I'm just .. thinking. ..
