{Taichi Yagami} was someone who treated others {including at the school} without discrimination {unjust hatred or prejudice based on social status and class}. That {outlook} of Taichi's never changed {in that time}, even towards {Koushiro Izumi}.
-Digimon Adventure Novel (Summarized)/(Amended)
If it hadn't been for {Taichi continuing to treat Koushiro that way}, Koushiro {believed} Koushiro {might} have (read as: would not have) ever gone to the summer camp.
{The summer camp where the Chosen Children originally were dragged in to the Digital World, and met their partners.}
Moments I love from Digimon Adventure (1999) - [10/?]
🤝🏹 T h e P r o p h e c y 🏹🤝
How can I not, this moment remains one of my top favorites in terms of hype and also how cute the older brothers behave: protective, willing to sacrifice or rather to trust in their respective younger sibling love/light/hope, encouraging, taking the lead, responsible, reliable. Very cute aspects to show in their roles of older brother.
Yes, the Taichi Yamato (was that Taito? I forgot) handholding was cute as fuck too; it felt intimate and natural, and I love that in general. I'm a man who since watching things as a kids, love watching other men showing affection and love to each other, whatever that is friendship or romance.
Now damn, did you see how smooth Yamato's "excuse"/line was to grab Taichi hand? No wonder they made him into a casanova when he grew up, he had that talent since then... (Meanwhile the lyrics of the song in the bg matching perfectly is so funny too)
This, including the culmination of their fight against Venom-Myotismon / Vamdemon, probably got me squealing so hard that I always take a time to go back for the Dark Masters arc (which I love because how tragic and dramatic everything is)
Also. I feel that is cute how Koshiro is not only explaining everything like always, but his parents and tentomon are helping as well. Cute family bond of being the ones with brains.
Koushiro, FIRMLY to Taichi's child {in a hypothetical slightly earlier Epilogue timeline}: No matter what anyone else in this world may believe, you and Taichi-san are important to me too.
Taichi's child:
Taichi's child: ...Can I spend the night???
Koushiro: Yes.
Taichi's child: Can Dad come too???
Koushiro:
Koushiro: (It's not like we haven't been seeing each other. But Taichi-san will have some more time soon)
Koushiro: It's fine, of course. (Smile)
Taichi's child, nodding firmly: Ok, then... before Dad and the rest gets here...
Taichi's child, pleading look: (Can I play on the game system with you because I'm very emotional right now and *need* to unwind before I *burst into tears* and you're the *best*???)
KoushirO, Immediately Picking Up On: Absolutely
Koushiro: (I'll have to pretend to lose again this time, maybe...)
D I G I M O N Adventure{s} (+02; tri.; Kizuna)
~ A.M.V. Preview {Unfinished} / [In-Progress] / W.I.P:
- Only Exception (sung by: Par@more)
featuring DUO/O.T.P:
- KouTai (Koushiro x Taichi)
-- (KouxMimi appears briefly in the 2nd verse.
However, the focus is KouTai.)
Disclaimer: I do not own DigiAdvs. This is FAN-MADE.
No $$$ is being made off this fan-work
Notes:
This A.M.V. is currently UN-FINISHED.
As of now, only the 2nd chorus and a bit more through the interlude,
is (partially!) completed.
Hopefully you find some enjoyment so far though!
The 1st part had taken about 45~ min already.
The 2nd verse + chorus took about another 35~ min.
This 3rd section took about 30 min at start,
another 1 hr to wrap up scenes through the interlude,
and already had a total of 1 crashing of my editor.
These may not be final scenes as I make adjustments.
(However, it came together well despite the crash!)
There is a tiny bit of scenery shots from beginning of Kizuna,
then, by the interlude, some more Kizuna spoilers involving
Taichi & Koushiro mainly, but you will see a scene of the Chosen.
Tri spoilers, mainly Taichi & Koushiro supporting each other moments,
are also added in this new section;
there are moments from Saikai, Kokuhaku and Kyousei, mainly.
The ends of Kokuhaku and Kyousei are not spoiled, but there is lead-up.
DigiAdv 2020 scene (for A.U. spinoff) becomes included by the interlude
(it’s mainly Koushiro moments from beginning of Ep 36, so far)
However, it can also be seen as inclusive of wider Adventure{s} canon;
and basically paralleling the following canon moments.
{Lyrics Preview}:
“I’ve got a ‘TIGHT’ {Grip} on {REALITY} BUT I {CAN’T}
LET {GO} of "WHAT’S” {in FRONT of ME} HERE---”
“LEAVE ME WITH some KIND of {Proof} it’s {NOT}-A-{Dream}...”
{To Be Continued?!...}

Title: Koushiro Izumi Is Touched By Death
Rating: PG
Notes: Implications about
Death & Grief (for passed loved ones),
+ the mourning/grieving process in general
Characters: Koushiro Izumi & Daisuke Motomiya
Ship{s}: (Implied) KouTai {Koushiro x Taichi} can be read into the background, but is not actively discussed / mentioned
Summary:
In which Koushiro Izumi Is Traumatized, Has Always BEEN Traumatized, And Daisuke Motomiya {NOTICES}.
Takes place shortly before "the summer of"
a somewhere between 2003~2005.
(02 takes place in April~December 2002,
Tri takes place in 2005 June~December.)

Title: Infalliable
Rating: PG
Notes: Implications about self-loathing & Koushiro's previous self-depreciation {Novels-implied} in general
Characters: Koushiro Izumi & Daisuke Motomiya
Ship{s}: (Implied) KouTai {Koushiro x Taichi} can be read into the background, but is not actively discussed / mentioned;
Daisuke x (Girl)!O.C. ("Hikaru"); in background;
(My O.C. does not appear much within the context of the fic, but the dialogue refers to an event she was involved in immediately previously, with a Koushiro-focus and Daisuke-relevant aftermath.)
Daisuke x O.C. aren't "together" yet; it is developing relationship.
Ken x Daisuke x O.C. may be Implied in spin-off fic{s};
Ken x Miyako may be implied in canon-compliant 'verses, with former Ken x Daisuke heavily implied / mutually requited-yet-unrequited (as purssuing a direct relationship) / hinted.
Poly-ships may be included in any future spin-off, but none are referenced in this specific one (yet).
Summary:
Daisuke stares moodily ahead. Koushiro does the same, except Daisuke genuinely doesn't know - cannot even tell - if Koushiro's doing it "moodily" or not, because Koushiro's blank staring is that unreadable. They sit, Daisuke next to Koushiro, for a few long, long moments. And then --
Koushiro... opens his mouth -- "I'm not infalliable."
Daisuke's eyebrows furrow, even if he can't look at Koushiro in this exact moment --
"Unshakeable? Indestructible--" Daisuke's head hurts.
"I admit there was a time when I thought, ..." "NO!! That's not true!!"
"When you asked me, 'What about YOU, Daisuke-kun' -- the one who gave me that push -- that was you."
A "missing scene" of Daisuke & Koushiro friendship from my other Adventures & 02 Chosen fic; "The Past World"
You do not have to read that one to appreciate this "missing" moment, as its mainly friendship.
There is a slight hint of Daisuke/Original ("Girl") Character OC, but its more lightly implied; (Epilogue semi-canon compliant)
There are also background relationships like Taichi/Koushiro, the slightest hint of background Ken/Daisuke, others hinted.
Title: Words
Rating: PG
Notes: Implications about self-loathing & Koushiro's previous self-depreciation {Novels-implied} in general; with a focus on self-acceptance
+ Koushiro's heavy use of formal speech and communication in the J.P.N version is referenced frequently.
Tri is referenced / implied-as-AUs or for semi-canon compliancy (light spoilers for Kokuhaku; but not majorly referenced; just a quote) {plus a gif of a small moment involving Taichi + Koushiro} [also one more small conversation moment between Taichi and Meiko] (a scene from the first episode of the 2020 Reboot is referenced)
- it can be read as a standalone fic
- it can be read as an AU and/or spinoff of the main REPEATVerse;
- or as its own standalone AU/spinoff
(i.e. this can be read on its own)
Characters/Groups: Taichi & Koushiro; Koushiro Izumi & Tentomon;
Koushiro Izumi & Mimi Tachikawa; Koushiro & Izumis
Ship{s}: KouTai {Koushiro x Taichi} focus
Summary:
The first Adventure season is very adamant about making sure that the viewer identifies Sora as the "mom/big sister" friend of the group. This becomes mostly apparent when she is consistently protecting and/or taking care of Mimi and Hikari - but also Takeru. As I had pointed out in the post about the family angle between Sora, Yamato and Takeru, the latter functions as a bridge between the broken family dynamics they all appear to have at this point. Since Takeru is the youngest member of the group for the majority of the season, he is the most vocal about Sora basically being a motherly figure - which is even more blatantly stated in the English dub version where he straight up tells her that he doesn't "miss his mom so much" when she is around. And it makes sense that he perceives her that way, considering how she took everyone under their wing, including him, functioning as the voice of reason to prevent the others from fighting - especially when his brother is involved -, supporting them in the back however she could. And since Sora herself is struggling with her own sense of obligation, questioning her intentions and ability to love - is it really surprising that, the moment someone like Takeru finally reassures her, tells her that he likes her and doesn't want her to disappear, she immediately stops crying? Finding her composure again, regaining her positive outlook?
Both Sora and Takeru need validation, this becomes quite clear and is an ongoing theme between them through the course of Adventure - there is a reason why Takeru immediately becomes more serious and determined once Sora (and Taichi too) tells him to take care of and protect Hikari. He craves to be needed, he doesn't want to be a burden and actually being trusted by someone like Sora (and Taichi, again!), someone he greatly admires, is a huge boost for him. Maybe even the central motivation he needed (aside from Yamato's reassurance) to not give up, to "fulfill his responsibility", on his way to let Angemon evolve to HolyAngemon. Just like Takeru's words may have been a little stepping stone for Sora to activate her own Crest as well...
After Adventure, there aren't a lot of visible cues that indicate the same/a bigger level of closeness between these two (even taking into account that Sora and Yamato had been dating through the course of 02), but there are little tidbits here and there that do indicate care between them. It's when Takeru protects her from a Snimon attack in 02 (once again showing that he is responsible and protective!), it's when Sora calls him to ask whether he is okay in Tri (still showing off her caring attitude towards him!)...
One might argue that all of these framings are entirely familial, since there is so much focus on the family angle, especially when you keep the age gap of three years between them in mind. However, the reason why I chose the screenshot(s) above may indicate another meaning after all... Because similarly to my previous Daiora analysis, people tend to mainly focus on Sora's romantic potential with Taichi and Yamato - even though there may be other candidates who are potentially just as - if not more - emotionally compatible with her...
Whether I think why and how they’d work.
A famous callback Tri pulled on Adventure is the awkward silence between Sora, Taichi and Yamato in the fourth movie - mirroring the scene in which Sora runs away from the group, unable to tell them why she wanted to be by herself and why she considers herself "unable to love". In Tri, both Taichi and Yamato are at a loss, they have no idea how to deal with her. When they were still kids, all it took was for Takeru to approach her, thank, reassure and tell her that he "likes" her - which is probably why Yamato's instinct as a teenager at this point seems to be the following: "Shall we ask Takeru?"
Takeru, as opposed to his big band leader brother, has a so called "ladies-man-persona" in Tri, he's got a reputation of having dated several girls and appears to be very friendly with Meiko, much to Hikari's jealousy amusement. However, romance is not Tri's strongest feat - and just like we never learn whether or not Jyou's girlfriend is real, we also don't know what exactly Takeru has been doing all this time. He's famous for wearing a mask consisting of smiles and one may or may not be worried about him developing unhealthy dating habits that never result in long-lasting relationships....... OR we stop assuming the worst and take things at face value for once: Takeru Takaishi is a very kind person at heart, and even if he hides behind a mask, has a very big soft spot for reassuring girls around him.
Do you know who also has a soft spot for reassuring others while hiding their feelings behind a mask at times? Sora Takenouchi. They are both incredibly observant of the people around them and very keen to put them at ease, mostly through words - and just like we have seen above, they NEED that kind of validation. It's why Takeru notices that Sora got a new haircut and points it out to her, whereas his brother hadn't seen it at all. It's why Takeru tries to keep track on everything that is happening, not only because he's on his way to become a novelist, but because he cares and even if he probably still can't be honest about his own feelings - he knows that it doesn't hurt to notice and compliment others, he knows that he can make others feel good by being kind like that. Just like Sora is proooobably aware that her caring nature may not be the healthiest self-care approach, but at least puts smiles on everybody else's faces.
Again, this may not sound like the most stable foundation for a relationship, but I could actually see it working out for them. I'm not saying that I want them to "parent each other", but maybe together, they could reach a state where everything gets a little bit easier. Crying together, opening up to each other about how difficult it had been to always uphold that friendliness because they may have felt responsible, even if there were moments when they both would just have wanted to curse and scream... They both love their friends dearly, but may crave to allow themselves a shoulder to lean on. From someone who understands the struggles. I think it could be a great lesson for both of them as consenting adults, trying to live their own lives - having Sora tell Takeru that he doesn't always have to be the strong one to keep everyone together, that he is loved for who he is and that he won't be left again (because his abandonment issues may still be pretty strong). And simultaneously having Takeru tell Sora that she needs to look in the mirror to realize that she deserves to be loved for who she is as well (especially because her flight instinct might still be pretty strong). And that she deserves someone who actually TELLS her that...
Whether I’d prefer them as platonic or romantic ship.
I had thought about Takeru as analogy to Yamato before, simply because he is so much more vocal towards Sora. And while the age gap and mother angle may make things a little bit difficult and even though I had never thought too deeply about the romantic side of Sokeru... I can understand why they used to have their niche here on tumblr. Art of Takeru protecting Sora for once ("I am not a kid anymore!"), art of him letting loose in front of her... The appeal is definitely there and I am a big fan of mutually reassuring ships, so while I usually go for them platonically, I do have a bit of a fondness for their romantic potential now! So it would be nice to see how their relationship may pan out in canon in "the future".

{Digimon Adventure} ~ A.M.V (Anime Music Video)
~ {Jigoku} Together
+ Song: {H e l l} Together (Sung By: David A r c h u l e t a)
Featuring Ship:
Koushiro{u} Izumi x Taichi Yagami {KouTai} / {Taishiro[u]}
& Izumi (Parents) as Family
(with bonus 2020 Reboot Koushiro + KouTai Moments)
Note: If it does not display above for any reason,
Please view at the direct link here!
(The above may work at later times, Please check back!)
Summary:
Don't be bold...
But the more you grow, You know the truth
And all I want is to make you proud
If I would run would I let you down?
You SAID-
If I have to "live" without YOU
I DON'T wanna live "FOREVER"-
So LET 'EM close the gates-
We'll go to {"Jigoku"} Together
My Commentary:
This A.M.V. showcases mostly Koushiro's Adoptee storyline,
while also including brief scenes from 2020 eps
that focused on Koushiro's inclusion or highlights.
(There are a few tiny semi-spoilery segments from final battle
of Digimon 2020 Episodes 66~67, but mainly show Koushiro.)
There are no Tri, Kizuna, or The Beginning spoilers here.
However, a finalized version may add in other moments later!

Further commentary under the 'read more'!
Extended Commentary:
An A.M.V. I made in just under 2 hours,
or, about an hour and 50 minutes total of editing,
plus saving and review checks;
as I aimed to finish just in time for: "Kou&Ten Day"
a.k.a a "Koushiro & Tentomon Day" {Focus} (5/10, May 10)
in the J.P.N fan base, the name comes from the "Kou"
of Koushiro's J.P.N name, {Kou = Go = "Five" (5)}
as pronounced in J.P.N + "Ten", a nickname for "Tentomon"
partially given by Mrs. Izumi during "02" ("Tento-san")
Koushiro fans often share Koushiro works on this day,
including platonic works.
This particular work, specifically for Koushiro x Taichi,
includes a Queer focus lens as the original song did.
(Please be respectful if interacting on this work!)
This {s o n g} means a LOT to me on a personal level,
so please, please if you can
support and consider purchasing the original by A r c h u l e t a,
at any official links it may be out on, including I T U N E S!
As Mother's Day 2k24 is also 5/12 this year,
it's also just in time for combo Kou&Ten Day+Mother's Day!

{DigiAdvs}/{Index} IzzyIzumi / KoushirouIzumi's AMVs for Koushiro Izumi, Taichi Yagami, & Koushiro x Taichi {KouTai}/{Taishiro}
I was never really able to make more proper introductory posts / indexes of all my DigiAdvs stuff before this because every time I tried, this site would either a. Eat the post b. not show the links properly or c. It wouldn't even show in the tags correctly.
So I'm making a better index post now!
I'm not an artist and my writing is more of a side thing.
I mainly focus instead on A.M.V.s, since I've been steadily improving on making those over a span of many years.
Here is an index for all of my A.M.V.s / vid edits
centered around either Koushiro Izumi {notably},
Taichi Yagami, and/or the KouTai / Taishiro ship.
(It's pretty much my "O.T.P of {DigiAdvs} O.T.Ps", so
I hope that can be respected, too. And due to these being A.M.V.s,
Most of my works could probably work in a semi canon compliant sense but I'm also perfectly fine with reading other things in as A.U.s)
{The post is not-rebloggable for reasons aka me wanting to be able to go back and add to it. You can rb this post if respectful though!}
Please note ALL notes on that post + the A.M.V.s themselves if you choose to Interact and/or reblog this post!
(I do have blog rules and I'd really be grateful if people could respect them when following and interacting.)
I know there's been a lot of DigiAdvs fan-events going on lately. I usually can't participate in events for varying reasons,
but I'm glad to share my past works in the form of this index.

Rating || Genres || Warnings: T. Romance. None.
A/N: This is my contribution to the prompt Adulthood and Family for Taichi Yagami Week.
"Well today was a disaster.” Hikari commented as she stood beside her brother atop the bridge that ran over the canal. A groan was her only response, and she turned to glance at her older brother who had his arms resting on the metal railing, face buried in his arms.
“Who’d have thought that they would close the beach today because of a shark sighting. Of all the random days.” Her tone was full of mirth as she tried her best to suppress her giggles at Taichi’s obvious disappointment at the occurrence.
An even louder groan sounded from the young man, as he finally lifted his head to glare at his sister. “If you’re not going to be helpful Hikari, I suggest you leave.” He sounded extremely grumpy, and judging by the frown that creased his forehead, probably annoyed as well. This time his sister did giggle. She reached out to pat him on the shoulder in a comforting manner.
“Don’t be sad, Oni-chan. I’m sure things will work out.” She did her best to sound optimistic. Taichi shook his head, his wild mane of brown hair untamed even at the age of 22. “You don’t understand Hikari! I had everything planned out perfectly. And now everything is ruined. Every plan was botched.” He looked down at the slowly drifting water of the canal.
“I wanted to surprise Hidemi so bad.” He mumbled, looking rather sad as he did. Hikari’s heart went out to him. She gave his hand a reassuring squeeze. Glancing over his shoulder, she suddenly grinned as she caught sight of an approaching figure. “Well I suppose its a good thing I called in reinforcements.”
Her brother blinked at her.
“What?”
He barely had time to finish voicing his thoughts when Takeru ran up, out of breath and grinning ear to ear. “Its all done Hikari. My brother, Izzy and Jo are getting everything set up, and Mimi and Sora are getting Hidemi ready. They told her it was a girls night out or something.” He added, at which Taichi raised an eyebrow. He was more then aware of how much Hidemi hated getting dressed up and wearing makeup. What were they all up to?
Hikari clapped her hands in delight. “Wonderful job Takeru.” She turned her attention to her brother, giving him a once-over. Taichi glanced down at himself as well. He was dressed rather smartly for once, in black trousers, proper shoes, a tie and a button up. Of course his hair was in disarray, but he had stopped in his attempt to tame it long ago.
“Well then Oni-chan, the rest will be up to you.” She winked at him, only adding to his confusion.
“What?” He repeated.
————————–
“No! Wait! I’ve changed my mind! Maybe it really isn’t the right time!”
“Not a chance Taichi. You’re gonna do it, and you’re gonna do it today.” There was such a determined gleam in Yamato’s eyes that Taichi was afraid his best friend would actually tie him up and leave him there if he tried to walk off.
Izumi grinned. “No backing out now Taichi! I’d say good luck, but according to my statistics, you don’t need it.” Hikari, who had been assessing the surroundings gave a grin as well. She looked like she was about to say something when Jo walked up. “Mimi says they’re almost here.” He announced.
Taichi felt a feeling of nervousness settle in his stomach as he gulped. Yamato laughed as he walked past, seeing how pale he had gotten. “Just blurt it out Yagami. You’ve always been good at that.” The brown haired 22-year old aimed to punch him, but he was already walking away.
A moment later Taichi was left alone, standing in the middle of his old High School football field. It was getting dark, the sun had already started to set. Someone had turned on a few lights around the field. Probably Izumi. Hopefully it wouldn’t attract too much attention.
Suddenly he heard voices. Three to be exact. Sora, Mimi and......
Hidemi.
His throat closed up, his hands felt clammy as his eyes traveled to the source of the sound. He watched as Hidemi was all but shoved towards the football pitch before Sora and Mimi pointed towards him. Once Hidemi caught sight of him, the two girls ran off.
It took little to catch Taichi by surprise. He was, however, struck dumb at the sight of his girlfriend.
She wore a white sweater dress with long boots to match. The only thing holding the dress up were a pair of thin straps over her shoulders, leaving most of her skin bare. Her chin-length black hair was curled inward, with a white headband fixed on top of her head. Normally, Taichi wasn’t the type of guy who would really notice what his girlfriend wore. But when she went ahead and dressed like that?
Of course he was bound to notice! He was human after all.
“Taichi!” She called out, quickly making her way over to him. As she neared him he realized she was wearing lipstick. Pink lipstick.
He wandered how she would look with it smudged around her mouth.
The thought had a fierce blush rising to his cheeks as she finally reached him.
“What in the world is going on? You wouldn’t answer my calls, and then Sora and Mimi jumped me as soon as I get off work and force me into this.” She gestured to what she wore. “And then why did they force me to come here?” Her head swiveled as she looked around at the stands and even field.
Taichi had been thinking on that as well. On the way over, he had thought long and hard as to why his friends would bring him here. And then it hit him.
“Because its where we first met.”
Her grey eyes turned to look at him, wide and full of surprise.
The realization seemed to make him recover from his slightly stunned state as he began to speak.
“You were with Dorumon, trying to teach him how to play football.” A small sad smile pulled at her lips as she seemed to recall the memory of her beloved Digimon. “And he kicked the ball too hard. Knocked you on your back. You got a minor concussion because of that.” His hand lifted to press against the back of her head, as if he could sense the bump there from so long ago. Her own hand came up to cover his.
“And you rushed over to help me.” She said with a small smile pulling at her lips. “I may have been out of it but I remember you carrying me to the Nurse’s Room. Even back then you knew how to sweep a girl off her feet.” The young woman teased, prompting her boyfriend to roll his eyes at her.
“Hardly. I also remember telling your grandfather off for scolding you for getting hurt.” She rolled her eyes at him. “Well he was being a jerk.” Hidemi recalled how the old man had told her off for playing with her Digimon when she should’ve been studying. She still remembered how Taichi had stepped in and stood up for her, without even knowing her.
Her knight in shining armor.
"Though once you realized that Dorumon could evolve into Alphamon, you did become kind of a jerk as well.” She recalled, prompting Taichi to wince at the memories, and how cold he had been to her. “Yeah, not my finest hour.” He admitted.
He had only acted like he did because he was afraid she was in league with Alphamon. “But when you saved our lives I started being nice to you.” He reasoned, prompting his girlfriend to give him a playful shove. “I would hardly call that winning me over, Yagami.” She teased. The way she was smiling at him was enough to calm his nerves and had him smiling back.
There was just something about Hidemi that helped ground him. Once she became a proper part of their little group, Taichi was made aware of just how much she helped keep him level-headed during battles and outside of them as well.
Slowly, Hidemi had integrated herself into their family, their lives and his heart.
Taichi remembered how devastated he had been when he lost Agumon. Even now, remembering how his digimon had been erased from existence caused a twinge in his heart, prompting him to wrap his arms around her waist, resting their foreheads together. Though she was surprised at first, her own arms came up to rest around his chest.
“Do you remember how we got together?” He asked, feeling her nod. “It was after Agumon.” She whispered softly, not wanting to upset him by reminding him more of his lost partner. “I was in a really bad place for awhile. And I honestly didn’t think I would get out of it.” He admitted, his arms tightening around her as he continued. “But then you nearly knocked down my door, threw a slipper at my head and told me to knock it off. That this wouldn’t be what Agumon would’ve wanted for me.” She gave a small laugh at the memory. “I still stand by the fact that I was right in doing what I did.”
Taichi chuckled. “I was angry at first yeah, but you were only trying to help. And though you left, what you said did help me. It was a couple days after, when I first met up with you that I realized that I was in love with you.” Identical blushes stole across their cheeks as they both smiled at one another.
“You’ve become a huge part of my life Hidemi. Of my family.” He knew just how desperate she had been for a family, after her own had disowned her for keeping Dorumon instead of abandoning him. To have people who accepted her for she was. And he had helped her find that in their little group. They were all misfits in some form or another, and she had fit right in.
“I never really thanked you.” She said. “For welcoming me into your family. They can get rather annoying at times, but I suppose that’s what you get for hanging around a bunch of crazies your entire adult life.” He gave a small laugh at her words, prompting her to grin at the sound.
“Well what if I asked you to deal them with me for the rest of our lives?”
For a second she seemed to freeze up against him, before her head whipped back to look up at him, eyes wide and lips slightly apart.
“What?”
He was smiling at her, as he pulled his arms back from around her waist. One of his hands went for his pocket, pulling something out. And as he did, he got down on one knee.
Hidemi stopped breathing.
“Do you think you can accept me as a part of your forever family Hidemi?” He asked, using the words she had spoken to him on multiple occasions. Her forever family. Someone she would live the rest of her life with.
A small choked laugh fell from her lips as she smiled widely, her eyes brimming with tears as she shook her head. “I don’t want you to be a part of my forever family Taichi. I want you to be my forever family.” She admitted. Her words made him smile up at her even wider as he held out the now open velvet box.
Within the soft cushion nestled a pretty silver band, with three princess cut diamonds encrusted into the shiny metal.
“Should I take that as a yes then?” He asked, his tone sounding a little cocky, at which she laughed, holding out her hand as she did.
“You haven’t actually asked the question yet, Baka.” He took her hand, singling out her ring finger as he made to slide the ring on.
His gaze lifted to meet her’s as he spoke. “Will you marry me, Hidemi?” He asked, showing every ounce of love and adoration he had for the woman in front of him, even as he slid the ring home.
In response she wrapped her arms around his shoulders, pressing her lips to his. In her enthusiasm she nearly knocked the both of them back, though neither seemed to care as they shared a passionate embrace.
“That wasn’t really an answer.” He whispered against her lips, prompting her to smile into the kiss.
“Shut up, Yagami!” She responded before kissing him again.
The sound of cheering was what made them part, their eyes finding the figures of their friends screaming, shouting, hugging and laughing as they stood atop one of the stands. There was Yamato, who gave Taichi a two fingered salute, while he wrapped his arm around his own fiancé. Sora had tears streaming down her cheeks as she smiled at her two best friends. Izumi was trying to console a sobbing Jo, who was crying a literal waterfall. Hikari and Mimi were jumping up and down, hugging one another. Takeru was high-fiving Davis and Cody, while Yolei hugged Ken fiercely, with him wrapping an arm around her waist.
With Hidemi tucked in his arm next to him, and his friends cheering for the two of them, Taichi felt his heart swell with affection for all of them. His family. With whom he had shared so many pivotal moments in his life and so many adventures.
And glancing at his new fiancé, he couldn’t help but press a kiss to her forehead, eager to start a new chapter in his life with her.
"My name is Izumi Koushirou and I just recently turned thirty. I'm studying science related material at Keio University, though I've technically already graduated, I am always trying to further my education and my career goal in the field of relevant scientific research fields. My family... consists of my parents. My favorite drink is ... Oolong. My favorite food ... I lately really enjoy Chinese takeout, and dishes in general, but I also enjoy Japanese home cooked dishes. Omurice is also a favorite. I like my eggs with some ponzu. The food I hate ... there are 'some' things that I mostly just try to avoid, but I do well with that. People usually listen and try to be accomodating if I make a polite request to not be served the food. If they didn't, I would have already left. Strength: I try to maintain an open mind about the world and reality around me. Weakness: I'm actually quite obstinate. My hobbies are researching things that Interest me, including by using my computer, observing nature, and visiting museums for both educational purposes and personal enjoyment. I am an Adoptee. Because I am, my family is what could be considered by society to be a 'Non-normative family'. My parents are, I know now, without a doubt, my real parents, but my late relatives are also important. I visit the cemetary to see the family grave every Ohigan I get, even if the trip from home takes hours to reach there. And... the person that I both consider a dear friend, and love, is Yagami Taichi."
Izumi Koushiro, Probably (A.U. Concept or Not)
"...Did Yamato-san say something unusual?"
"Well, it's just...
Yamato was wondering, 'things' like,
'how much' I 'knew' about you,
if we're 'really' 'friends'--"
If there is one thing fandom - usually - unanimously agrees on, it's that Sora and Jyou are the mom and the dad of the squad. The responsible ones, the voices of reason to keep all the bickering, danger-seeking kids on their toes while having a piece of advice for all of them... Unfortunately, while they are naturally responsible, caring and kind people, their urge to take care of others used to be fueled by familial trauma and the idea that they simply HAVE to act out of obligation. It's a theme for both of them that gets handled in different yet similar ways - but I'm already getting ahead of myself.
Despite their parental status, Jyou and Sora unfortunately do not share a lot of screen time together. When thinking of them, there are usually three to four key moments that come to mind; most famously, there is their Bakemon adventure in which Sora tries to encourage Jyou to be the leader he thinks he has to be after being asked to do so by Gomamon - it's one of their first key scenes, because Jyou's persistence is what gets them out of a pinch eventually. And even though Sora was a little bit wary of Jyou's capabilities at first, her kindness, her belief in him get them that far in the first place. It's all mostly played for comic relief reasons - and so do a lot of their interactions in Adventure, oftentimes joined by Mimi, as the girls simply love to come together to tease Jyou at various points in the series.
So what we can tell - despite their presumably "adult" status in the group, they have a rather light-hearted bond that also allows them to be a little silly at times. On the other hand, we also learn that their sense of obligation is what drives them both towards their darkest moments... Jyou struggles with his sense of leadership and doesn't know his place at first, living to study to become a doctor to please his father - as opposed to Sora, who tries to rebel against her mother, not wanting to be reduced to become an iemoto, thinking that she's not even as kind as everyone assumes her to be. She feels responsible to save the world and is afraid of failure - just like Jyou is until he realizes that there are things only he can do. Even if he may not be the leader he thought he should be, even if becoming a doctor seems like a struggle, he understands that he has a choice to support in the best way he can - and it's this realization that helps him to become the senpai that Sora needed and, alongside Yamato, to pull Sora out of her own darkness. At least temporarily.
Because while Jyou does have his setbacks, he keeps pursuing to become a doctor, finding his own path alongside being a Chosen Child and senpai for everyone - despite having the reputation of always being busy. Meanwhile, Sora has various ups and downs on her way to figure herself out and struggles A LOT HARDER to juggle everything: her sense of femininity, whether she wants to maintain her group-mom status or pull herself back from everyone, whether she needs to abandon her self as a Chosen Child completely, whom she really loves, while also figuring out whether eventually becoming an iemoto was the right choice after all...
One cannot help but wonder: Maybe it would have helped Sora to stay in touch with Jyou more after all. In Tri, we still saw Jyou - as depicted above - being rather (physically) protective of Sora (once again, alongside Mimi), whereas Sora was the one texting Jyou about Gomamon while he was not around, thus still displaying the mutual care. But, at the point of Kizuna/The Beginning, we don't even know when they talked the last time...
Whether I think why and how they’d work.
I actually believe Jyou is among the most plausible partners for Sora - potentially at least. I really do believe that their personalities would match incredibly well once they've settled down a little - meaning, once Jyou has settled into his work-life for a while and Sora is at least a little bit closer to figuring out that she likes designing clothes more than arranging flowers. In sum - once they started to CHILL OUT a little bit more into adulthood, I feel like their mutually caring attitudes could result in a very loving, understanding relationship. Yes, they can both be stingy and pedantic and one might argue that they're actually too similar in this regard to really play off of each other romantically, to keep things exciting - but I still think that they need a lot of stability and assurance in their lives. Knowing that there is someone they can always rely on. Plus, they both tend to just naturally give advice and may be capable of, subconsciously, telling the other exactly what they need to hear in order to snap out of more negative tendencies.
Jyou in particular develops more healthy approaches towards his own limitations, he DOES become more relaxed and calm - and Sora seems to need a lot more validation than she was ever capable of admitting. And... Admittedly, even if they may only date for a while, I feel like that period alone could be incredibly assuring for both of them, feeling that mutual love and appreciation, still being wanted and needed. And even if they broke up at some point - I cannot ever see bad blood remaining between them. They would always, ALWAYS remain on friendly terms, because in my opinion, their natural kindness towards each other was NEVER out of obligation.
Whether I’d prefer them as platonic or romantic ship.
Generally, I'm thinking very fondly of Jyoura, they give a somewhat fuzzy, comfy feeling, even if their lack of interaction really bothers me. Initially, Sora used to be a character who had a bond with nearly EVERY Chosen Child, and her being slowly but steadily removed from the team really makes it hard to estimate her level of closeness to everyone. I do believe that they can be incredibly good for each other and I like to joke about them being in a little poly bond with Mimi, because at this point, I feel like Mimi is the connective element between them that could make a lot of things right. She is the extroverted force to their introverted tendencies and since they all adore each other a lot... Why shouldn't that work? That aside, I simply appreciate Jyoura as a dynamic, even though I don't actively ship them, I will always support anyone who does depict them, because it's usually in very loving, mutually supportive ways.
