shigeru kimura

one) [NSFW, violence & gore] a prequel fic in which reader and shigeru have an on-and-off romantic fling. reader is also an assassin. after a job gone wrong left them severely injured, they call shigeru, who picks them up and patching them up at a motel. they end up bathing and sleeping together.

five) [NSFW, mention of blood] vampire au where shigeru feeds the reader his own blood.

six) [SFW, fluff] silly scenario where shigeru is jealous but acts like he isn’t. but the reader can see through him.

yuichi kimura

one) [NSFW, mild sexual content, nudity, intimacy] reader and yuichi cuddling and talking when it’s late at night and it’s raining outside and they’re both naked. lol.

two) [NSFW, sexual themes] yuichi and reader having sex in the shower.

three) [SFW, polyamory relationship with lemon, slice of life, no plot just happy vibes] yuichi, lemon and reader co-parenting wataru & having the time of their lives.

four) [SFW, fluff] reader and yuichi doing each other’s nails and makeup for funsies.

the hornet

one) [NSFW, afab! reader, non-consensual drugging, kidnapping] hornet drugging and interrogating reader for a job, then giving them aftercare(?)

tangerine

one) [NSFW, implied murder & violence, sexual themes] recently widowed reader having an affair with tangerine and suspecting him of killing their late partner.

two) [NSFW, mention of prostitution & escorts, crossdressing, sexual themes] tangerine crossdressing and posing as a male escort for a job, meeting reader, a client, and ending up being a little distracted.

three) [SFW, vague mention of violence, flirting + sexual innuendos] journalist reader interviewing an incarcerated tangerine. they end up flirting.

four) [NSFW, sexual themes, bondage] one-night stand gone wrong after reader accidentally discovers that tangerine’s a vampire. a very thirsty one at that.

i think the bullet train as a space with rules and boundaries that shift and change is really interesting. it’s a very dangerous place, obviously, because it's teeming with contract killers with conflicting missions and nobody knows the truth of the situation, etc., but it is also sometimes framed as a safe space or the safer option with the outside world being even more dangerous. and within the train there are spaces that are safer still, and then even more dangerous. the bathroom for example is a safe space where ladybug can hide away and talk to maria, reflect on what he knows and gain new information, and the momomon car becomes a sort of halloween funhouse that's ominous and otherworldly and extremely dangerous and disorienting for tangerine as he reels from the perceived loss of lemon and the changed rule that open killing is now permitted. 

the boundary of inside/outside the train is also very thin and many characters find themselves on both sides of it throughout the journey. i've spoken about this before, but having the characters trapped on the train sometimes and willingly getting back on the train other times does a great job of building tension and keeping the audience on our toes while also doing a lot of really important character work. the fact that tangerine and ladybug both voluntarily get back on the train when they don’t Have to (and that tangerine has to fight so hard to do it!) shows the legitimate depth of ladybug's compassion and the strength of tangerine's devotion to lemon. also, the white death's power to police this inside/outside boundary, with his goons and the threat of his rage being a primary reason the characters are trapped in the first place, actualize and foreshadow the complete influence he has over the plot and the characters and the train itself.

this boundary also helps provide relationship development. shigeru getting on the train to help yuichi in the final act shows how much he cares about his son despite the friction we’ve seen between them up until this point. and tangerine and ladybug are shown flying violently out of the train in their fight and having to claw their way back on, and later they move in synch as they glance at each other and then run back onto the train, from enemies to allies almost immediately, and then back to rivals when ladybug kicks tangerine off the train again.

i just find the train setting really interesting. it’s a public space in the most straightforward sense. societal pressures to to be quiet in the quiet car, to not take too long in the bathroom, and to not kill people, for instance, do a lot for the story. so i think it’s perfectly fitting at the end of the movie, when everything’s going to shit and the story we knew is crashing to its end, for the train to go off its tracks and the inside/outside boundary to get ripped right open. the destruction of the train is a great symbol for the end of the mission and freedom from the restrictions it imposed on the characters. still pissed it had to fuck up that town though
