i only write female! reader inserts as iâm not familiar and experienced with gn stuff, please bear with me!
synopsis: the both of you always seemed out of reach, but life somehow finds a way.
a/n: my first cool doji danshi fic!!! felt the need, no, compelled to write for the man right off the bat bc i kin him to the moon and back... i need the man in my life rn. maybe i just have a thing for really chill office workers (ok not maybe, now that i think about nanami kento) but theres just something serendipitous about the man that i absolutely love. save me. also, i added a bit of background to him that deviates a little from his schooling life for some context. i hope you guys enjoy my first work for this series & him!
>;   âTakayuki Mima?âÂ
âI havenât heard of him in decades! He was always in the background with his head in the clouds, and I remember him being around Igarashi a lot. But Takayukiâs a kind-hearted one.â
âYeah, I remember him picking up my lost textbook and he left it on my desk. I wouldnât have known it was him if someone didnât see it! How is he doing?â
As a matter of fact, the last question keeps you on your toes, leaving you clueless on how to put it in words; particularly because Takayukiâs never seemed more at peace, as if heâs seamlessly moved from the years of childhood. From your more than occasional glances ages ago, youâve deduced that the schooling years shared were not necessarily a tumultuous couple of years for him, though there was always a tinge of hesitancy coupled with the grasp of his tiny fingers on Igarashiâs jumper. Among it all, a burning desire hidden beneath his meek demeanour, all of him wishing to jump into conversations that Igarashi often handles on behalf of the pair.Â
Itâs a fleeting moment, especially when you were only trying to get a drink from the machine, and because youâve never been one to fixate on people like that. Sure, you suppose the school was relatively smaller and that provided plenty of chances to analyse that particular shade of chestnut by the windows, flowing to the lulls of the autumn breeze while darker eyes observe the waltzing of leaves.
Circumstantial or not, you canât help but to hold onto that excuse and choose to tweak it a little. The world is simply too small for you to catch onto Takayuki right smack in the middle of Tokyo, a modest city, you delude yourself â and you recite this excuse countlessly throughout the dinner, waiting till your mind tires from the thought of him. âErr, Iâm not sure,â you mumble. âI just happened to see him at the bookstore earlier.âÂ
âEh, has anything changed about him?â
â...nothing much, except being much taller?â Well, you lied. The sweetness of strawberry desserts lingers on your tongue, just like his surprising appearance from this afternoon. Diving into the comfort of your bed doesnât change the fact that your actions have been baffling, to say the least. Itâs just, you make another loose attempt at lying to yourself, todayâs been a terribly long day.
In actuality (and you know it all too well), youâve never expected how attractive he looked with glasses.
Just like old age, regrets always find their way to him and found him once again upon hitting the bed last night. Feeling the physical toll from intensively reading the new release at the store yesterday, Takayuki tosses and turns in the break room, desperate for a quick wink that refuses to settle in. (And unbeknownst to your knowledge, he did not notice you nor a single being at the bookstore, especially not at a crucial moment of giving all his undivided attention into Igarashiâs new novel.)Â
...Iâll just grab a coffee.
Thereâs a particular situation that has been resting lightly on his heart for so long that it almost slipped away with time, allowing Takayuki to move on as he had intended after accepting fate. Actually, a particular person who makes him wonder if things could go differently, should he have taken the initiative ages ago. To be fair, he was always on the more reserved side through his formative years, leaving hardly any courage for younger Takayuki to have struck a conversation with you â however, he admits that hardly anything has changed upon recognising an older [Name], just seated just a few tables away.
âMay I have your order?â
âOh, uh, Iâll get an iced Americano. Thanks.â Astonishing, really. Things were supposed to be done there and then, right before the end of high school.Â
Futile were his attempts to fold a paper crane out of the absurdly long receipt and sort out his thoughts, as he takes all the possible chances to steal glances towards your way. Perhaps it was another opportunity presented by fate, for him to approach you like how he was meant to before your paths diverged. Perhaps, he could fold another paper crane just like the perfect one he has hidden in his bedroom drawers, though he laments the fact that his fingers arenât as nimble as before. Regardless, it begs the question: how would you react to his small acts to approach you? Takayuki can only wish for the answer that he missed out on during his high school graduation, and pin his hopes on an optimistic outcome. âIced Americano for Takayuki-san!âÂ
âMaybe Iâll sit somewhere else next time,â you sigh, rubbing weary eyes after hours on the laptop, âhuh?â
âHey, um... do you remember me, [Name]-san?âÂ
Yep, itâs too good to be true. â...Takayuki Mima. Itâs, itâs alright if you donât recognise me though.â
âOf course I do! Ah, wait! I mean, I remember you from high school... sorry if that sounded weird.â Itâs been a long time since youâve observed him on the daily, but witnessing him crack up a smile makes you lose all reason for a moment. âHaha, then Iâm glad you do.â
âWo-would you like to take a seat?â
âHmm.â Takayuki takes a peek at his phone. âIâd love to join you, but my break is ending soon,â he slides a napkin over, âmaybe this will make do, for us to catch up a little.â
Contentment is great tasting coffee and a productive work setting that youâve chanced upon, though this encounter has tipped the scales too much for your delicate heart. Contentment was all you had since last night, and only after hours of convincing yourself of the coincidence of seeing Takayuki at the bookstore. Well, of course, you knew that this afternoon felt too perfect, for you to have probably mistaken him for the sunshine, looking much brighter in a flannel rather than full office wear just yesterday... however youâre left stupefied with the napkin in your hands and the delicate handwriting of his.
For now, contentment is a thing of the past, and you grapple with the idea of being overjoyed till your heart feels like itâs about to explode.Â
He looked kinda shy. When he tried to pass it to me. Youâre unable to contain the grin stretching from ear to ear, but at least youâre calmer than hours ago. Youâre getting there. Breaking out sweat from climbing sets of stairs and a click of the door knob brings you back to your sanctuary, and a gulp of iced tea from the refrigerator tries to bring you back to your senses. Yet, still not enough when your phone buzzes from a shopping app notification.
Conversations in the past were always in passing, but... itâs as if he was prepared for this encounter, and he wanted it to happen too. Again, he looks good in glasses. And that flannel. To think about it, you wouldnât mind it yourself to see him again... however, that takes another couple of hours before you could act on it at all.
â...itâs me, [Name]. About your note...â
Iâve always wanted to talk to you, but couldnât find the right time to do so. Hereâs my number: +81XX-XXX-XXXX. Maybe we can text and grab some coffee another time.
- Takayuki Mima
âi accidentally put the candles in my birthday cake upside down. we bought drinks and theyâre not labeled, so we donât know which belongs to who. i forgot to take the lens off the camera before taking a picture. i got a sleeping mask at work and kept it on for hours.â
and then itâll be like âthe connections you form with the people around you, even when they are fleeting, are what truly spark joy and creativity. itâs completely okay to mess up; take your mistakes in stride and laugh at yourself. finding your passions requires taking initiative, even when youâre scared of the vulnerability that comes with being honest about what you want. even in adulthood, you are still capable of learning and growing from the people around you.âÂ
and then itâll go back to âi keep reading the same line of this book over and over again. i thought the mannequin at the store was a real person. i thought the pants i left on the floor was my cat. i mistook the pack of mints at my desk for a computer mouse.â
synopsis: class clown, a trickster, or whatever you call him... Gojo Satoru is far from being one dimensional.Â
a/n: MY GOD itâs been so long since iâve written something... anyways here is my first gojo piece and i hope you guys like it :)
Gojo Satoru.Â
Class clown, a trickster, or buffoon, as quoted from Nanami Kento at some point. Call him as you see fit, but the man was never to be taken to heart. Being the subject of his atrocities was a common experience for every student attending Tokyo Jujutsu High â and you would relieve a sigh at frequent points in your schooling life.
A sigh of acceptance that you will never escape his antics, despite the fact that they make the arduous trials and tribulations at school a little easier to take in. Or a sigh to console those at Kyoto, who may get by the days much smoother without having the speck of joy in the hallways. Perhaps, a combination of both. Well, it was good enough to gain firsthand witness at professors writhing upon the glorious sound of fart balloons stuck on their seats, hence youâd rather enjoy the moments the buffoon had to offer. Tokyo Jujutsu High always had more... eccentric personalities around anyway.
âGojo Satoru!â
A buffoon through and through, you reckon it is never a Monday morning without the man stirring up some chaos in the office. Lasting years with this man is no ordinary feat, and youâre considered one of the honorary persons who have unfortunately spent almost half your life suffering from his frivolous actions. Well, how could you have survived all this time? (You actually donât, and it gets worse when youâre older and your patience for everything is almost non-existent.)Â
âYes?â Gojo chirps, his annoyingly gorgeous gems of pupils glistening bright enough for you to see through the blindfold. âOh, good morning, [Name]!â
His keyboard meets specks of red, a familiar substance he created way before working hours, and a saucer of sorts holding a stapler that someone had clearly jellified. âBon appetit?â
âItâs not even April Fools,â your fist hits the monstrosity that heâs created, momentarily wishing it was his face, âand I have papers to prepare! Also, wipe that grin off your face before I smother it with this breakfast youâve created!â
âHey, hey,â he surrenders, both hands up and beads of sweat rolling down his temple, muttering âgive me a bitâ, then sticking an entire arm into one of his ever clogged drawers filled with trinkets and things confiscated permanently from his students (and for his own amusement). âLucky for you, Iâve got a new stapler! Look, itâs shaped like a duck,â Gojo hovers it around your face airplane style, âsay good morning to Ducky-chan! Isnât this buddy cute?âÂ
Ducky-chan? Cute? You would rather sell your soul for this thing than the lowest of the low stapler that the school had to offer. You cannot wrap your head around how heâs got such an excellent eye for this procuring adorable things â thankfully you are accepting of adorable things, so Ducky-chanâs beady eyes will be an apology you will accept. âI suppose this will suffice,â you hesitantly leave your palm out to receive his gift.Â
âOh? Quack, quack. Oh my,â he coos, pressing on its beak to release more Gojo-made quacks, âbut I think Ducky-chan wants to stay with me.â
âAlright, Iâll be taking your beloved away,â you attempt to break the duck from his grasp, but his devastatingly long and gangly limbs just get the better of you. âPlease... I need to get back to these papers ââ
âI have one condition.â
âSpill it.â
âGive me some of your time this evening?â
âIsnât this...â
âA date?â Gojo scratches the back of his head, sheepishly avoiding your gaze despite his eyes being hidden from the blindfold. A breath of relief, you assume, as if heâd been keeping this wish hidden for quite some time. â...yes.â You raise a brow, pondering over the age old question, âand this is not a prank, I promise,â he speaks with fortitude, or rather a determination heâs taken much effort to muster. His chest is heavy, fingers fiddling tensely with the stapler while awaiting your answer. The boisterous buffoon turns uncharacteristically mousy and slightly blushy... and it scares you quite a bit.
Gojo must be contagious, because youâve become a blushing mouse yourself.Â
Youâve once wondered while seated right at the back of the classroom about ten years ago, if that comical demeanour he holds constant was ever the true Gojo Satoru. Is the pride of the Gojo Family as one dimensional as he portrays himself, or is there much more to him? You would love to know, but the man who has always been out of reach, physically or emotionally, suddenly reveals an awkward side of himself that makes him all the more blindingly attractive. And sure, youâre a cranky old person now, but itâs sensational to have not just anyone but him ask you out, regardless of how heâs just jellified your stapler moments ago.Â
Well, your curiosity has finally been satiated after ten years, but only for a moment. Two bashful adults stuck in their tracks, one overwhelmed by a pleasant surprise while the other feeds her curiosity for him.Â
With the jester revealing his true colours to the queen, the queen craves for more to come. â...okay.â
Unbeknownst to her, the jester silently cheers at the success of his prank.
hey bestie its not a idea or anything but i love you and your work
hello anon!!! thank you so much for your message, it's probably been a thousand years since it got into my inbox :") but i really appreciate it and ily toooooo
warnings: mentioned and implied violence, gore and blood.Â
synopsis: phases of your relationship that make him feel human, but he guesses that youâre not exactly human either. this fic is set in an AU where sukuna is separate from yujiâs body but is still in human form. both of them are housemates and under supervision of jujutsu tech.
a/n: MY GOD i just came back after my first term in uni and decided to complete this fic which was created about 6 months ago... the whole process feels like a fever dream because i struggled so much to finish it, but i hope you guys like it! otherwise, i apologise if it sucked aaaaa ://
   Conceived in a world meant for mortals, he once believed he was born without a heart. Not that it bothered him anyway or disrupted his daily routine of blood and insatiable hunger. Intensity and violence lead mortals to their deaths, and conversely driving forces for his mania and cynicism, thus ironically sustaining his lifespan and granting him the title of royalty in the darkness. Though, various phases that makes humans humans are alien, to say the least, and the King of Curses considers himself lucky to be lacking in those experiences.Â
After all, what pushes him to thrive in a place that rejects his existence, pulls a human to ruin instead, and he believes it wouldâve also worked the other way round.Â
Time passed, and Sukuna acknowledged that he is a deviant. Heartless, the cruelest of all, and unapologetic of his disruption in the world he never belonged in. Has he always been a mistake? Maybe, heâd likely scoff at the thought of it. At least evil was meant for him to create and unleash. The grin after humanityâs demise was meant for him to show.Â
Time passed, and Sukuna had forgotten about what lay beneath his chest. Plans of devastation upon the world were more important then, and he decided that such trivial things werenât worth the headspace. Before he met you, heâll say itâs been too long. â Tsk, whatever. Canât remember. Even if he ripped it apart to check, the wounds wouldâve healed within minutes. â Do you want to die early, or perhaps, stop wasting my time?Â
Discomfort at the empty void within would remain, however.Â
And heâll never speak a word about this.
  Awkwardness is a curse undoubtedly yours, latching onto him with all its might. The world works in mysterious ways, most of it caused by cursed spirits and such, but this is something even he cannot explain. Arrogance that usually brings him success somehow tried to dig his own grave, and each glance you send across carves a letter of his name in the tombstone. Never in his life would he expect Yujiâs confidence to surpass him, and to do so right in front of you, someone he barely knows, makes him shrivel up and retreat back to his chambers.
âYouâre done eating?â Yuji asks. He doesnât get a response except for the sound of running water, his gaze trailing Sukunaâs movements right till heâs out of sight. âDonât mind him, [Name]-sensei.â You shake your head to brush it off. In fact, you were summoned just to check out how theyâve been cohabiting, and that would end up as another detail to be added in the report.
Although Ryomen Sukuna is disconnected from Itadori Yuji, the living environment appears to be peaceful and there is no sign of assault on each other. There comes the one-to-one sessions with both parties, and you take advantage of his unlocked door. The mighty Sukuna lies almost motionless on his bed, hands tucked under the pillows and a leg crossed above the other. Just like how a king should rest.Â
At the sight of you, however, he goes into a foetal position. Possibly to avoid the weird, tugging feeling in his chest. A nice blanket fortunately covers his curious gaze.
Nobody can ever witness him all domesticated, let alone Itadori, so why are you being a bother?
Ryomen Sukuna is also an awkward guy.
  Pain is a stranger that only opens up to you. You... you must be an anomaly, one unafraid of death and smiles at such a vile thing. Sukuna applauds your effort to make conversation each time youâre around, be it for work or not. The halls are often filled with your laughter (and Yujiâs, to his annoyance), but theyâre akin to music to his ears, though shrill cries in the late of the night are something heâs more accustomed to. Reluctantly, he figures heâll excuse your chuckles and yours only.
ââ Oh, good afternoon!âÂ
Youâre suddenly obstructing the path to the pantry, even boldly sticking out a hand when he attempts to shrivel up and escape, âYuji said heâll get the TV set up... wanna join us for the match?â When you ask him with such ease and that grin on your face, itâs as if youâve conquered Small Talk for Dummies. Unable to accept his initial cowardice, the previously puffed up Sukuna has taken weeks to make proper eye contact, let alone progress from silence to a comprehensible sentence.
You are unlike any other human, and he tries to make sense of it. Is this how you are in essence? How are you able to face apocalypse head-on, or even willing to invite him to such trivial activities? If the world was perfect, heâd be subjected to all sorts of pain for the schoolâs experimentation. Blood, flames, screams and him being the one suffering this time around â he imagines you with some modern torture device just designed for him and flashing an angelic grin before spurring those hands to his demise. At least itâd be the perfect ending to his stinging failure to conquer the world.Â
Oddly, reality is far from his expectations and youâre holding onto some sort of blue device. Not meant for killing, to his knowledge, but for clicking and spurring excitement as heâs observed from Yuji before.Â
While looking at you in the eye, he finally gives a firm âyesâ on a scorching hot day. Sukuna adores things that drives him insane, and infatuation gradually blossoms from his unhinged curiosity. Nobody is going to answer his questions, so he begins his quest on finding them one by one.Â
âSounds good.âÂ
A couple of Sundays later, one with the summer breeze drifting in as he remembers, Sukuna laughs along with you â specifically at your reaction to Yujiâs unimpressive defeat. That is when he realises how out of place you are, especially for being someone that he refuses to annihilate in an instant. In the many centuries heâs lived in, you are an anomaly to be treating him as human, simply because âitâs meaningless not to do soâ despite âbeing nervous as hell from every interactionâ.
âThought you might be curious,â you speak gently while Yujiâs out running errands, as if knowing of his goals from the very start, âI just hope that we can get along better.â Like the sudden breeze seeping through the windowsill, Sukuna is... pleasantly surprised, at your confession. And with heat akin to the summer days, inner desire burns like a freshly struck flame.Â
Anomaly or not, you have unknowingly sought for pain on that very Sunday.Â
Just as how a human would every single time.
  Frustration tries to cope with your absence by bringing upon past madness, and melancholy comes by when youâre gone. Itâs ridiculous how heâs been so reliant on your gummy smile for him to finally appreciate this horrendous apartment, and for you to be missing for two weeks in a row shortly after. Unlike his Malevolent Shrine, these concrete walls are almost suffocating and dull, even without the brat around. Taking a breather once in a while never hurts, but the halls feel so empty without your feather-like footsteps around.Â
The blue controller that is unanimously yours lies lonely on the coffee table. He refuses to give it a glance, not without your fingers around it.Â
You... you arenât like everyone else, Sukuna is certain of it. You havenât been away for weeks, and itâs not because youâre trying to get away from him. Itâs your job and youâre supposed to keep regular checks on the both of them, yet â Â
âYo. Are you... okay?âÂ
His door is slightly ajar, mostly surrounded by fear that the abnormally dispirited Sukuna would rip Yuji into shreds. Rash, aggressive, terribly cocky â but him being unnervingly docile during meals and hibernating more often does make Yuji wonder if heâs been conjuring an escape plan from these heavily protected walls... thus a few months of cohabiting have hardly eroded the boyâs anxiety around him, and less so when youâve been away.
Exasperated, he sighs. âWhat do you want?â
âUh... nothing much, just wanted to see how youâre doing. Senseiâs been asking.â He swears that Sukuna was buried under the sheets just a second ago, but all four eyes on his face are staring right through his soul. â[Name] asked about me?â
âWell yeah, technically, but how we were doing to be exact. I said I was alright, but for you... not so sure about that â ow! What the hellâs that for?â
âIâm slapping some sense into you, brat. You probably made her worried for nothing.âÂ
If he has a heart, heâs always wearing it on his sleeve, doesnât he? After spending a substantial amount of time with Sukuna, he would know a thing or two about his character. The menace to humankind finds lying an utter waste of time, excluding half-truths â which are absolutely necessary to bait the gullible, such as Yuji himself. On the contrary, this compulsive truth-tellerâs monk-like lifestyle does raise eyebrows, notably with your absence coinciding with it, but Yujiâs grateful for the lack of pompous tendencies.Â
âItâs for you,â he slides a postcard in his hand. An ethereal sunset is painted in the background, and highlights of white housing that Santorini is known for. Finally, the postcard signs off with your initials.Â
Yuji notices that his hair tends to flare up whenever heâs excited.Â
âAnd youâre terribly obvious, do you know that?â
  Joy returns with open arms. Just another month, Sukuna recites like an oath right before drifting to slumber.Â
â...not having a great time hunting cursed spirits here, but I hope to visit this place again with you and Yuji! I want to show you how beautiful the sunsets are in real life!â
You never fail to drive him insane, as you should, when he feels a delusional touch of warmth upon the touch of dried wood pulp. Itâs the gorgeous sunset that drives him into a frenzy; he feels your imaginary embrace while dreaming of ending up in it as he sleeps. Ironically, his imagination hardly runs as wild while confined within his territory, but these four walls hardly appear as bad as it seems anymore.Â
Instead of the thrill you bring, who knew that curses have become gradually irrelevant? Perhaps he should be known as the King of Daydreams instead.Â
Yuji irks at the sudden spurge of life in him, as Sukuna expresses unhinged excitement in the form of continuous gaming and even offering to complete chores. Right, he must have a screw loose from the human ways of living, and this is his coping mechanism. The death lord Sukuna finally gives up on resisting and turns domesticated from Jujutsu Techâs intense experiment, just like taming a tiger in a cage. This tiger dons an apron; instead of his appearance, Yuji is terrified with the improved standard of dishes as the weeks passed, and how there is barely a speck of dust in the house.Â
You must have induced a remote curse in the postcard, because nothing is stopping this tiger from its pursuits â to prepare himself for your return, knowing well that he wouldnât be able to control himself. When youâre back with bags of souvenirs and a dainty smile on your face, Sukuna realises his desire to hold you tight. To feel your warmth against him while you eventually wrap your arms around his waist.Â
âI was about to initiate, but I realised that I was too shy five seconds ago,â you chuckle. âYou mustâve missed me.â
He holds you a bit tighter.Â
âSurprisingly,â his hand strokes your hair affectionately. âThis house is cold without you.â
  He concludes that you must not be of this world as well. Made of flesh, he deduces after knowing of your family, and in possession of a delicate heart that bleeds and shines extrinsically. Fingers that quietly reach out for his. Tears from the death of your pet turtle. Falling of leaves in the park, then the heaviness of your lips. Constant tapping of your pen against the table, because marking papers is absolutely dreadful. How the corners of your eyes crinkle just from enjoying your favourite ice cream.Â
Sukuna couldnât be more certain that you were human. But with the simple act of placing his hand against your chest, youâve offered your heart to him on a silver platter, causing his confirmations to waste away in an instant.Â
âIâll be in your hands,â youâre speaking softly, blood rushing to your cheeks. No human would ever make such an offer at the risk of danger and unpredictability, not even if they were offered a fortune for it. âPlease take care of me.âÂ
He then devours your heart, downing it as if it were candy in his palm; finally claiming it while it replaces the void within his chest.
Again, what exactly are you (apart from being the love of his life)?Â
OH BOY DO I. before I begin, though, I know I have quite a few minors following me on this blog.

BOY OH BOY. I love Leslie and literally everything she puts out there!!! she tends to focus on fluff and domestic pieces. and I know this is a given with these genres, but everything she writes is soooo comforting. not in a traditional sense, though. like if I had to describe it, her work reminds me of falling snow, a rainy day, or waking up at 3AM and being completely at peace. I think her piece âChrysalismâ exemplifies that best. thereâs just something so serene about her craft thatâs so unique from most other fluff-oriented authors.Â
please go give her work some love!!! Leslie is still relatively new to the tumblr writing scene and she deserves so much more attention on her work. (also sheâs like. the funniest damn person Iâve had the honor of interacting on here. pls read her tags.)

Nat has SUCH a playful style and I canât even begin to elaborate how much I love it. you can see this best with their âA Well-Rounded Educationâ series, especially in Nanamiâs chapter! like everything in this chapter is just so fun, from the way they describe Nanami himself to how they highlight Gojoâs lightheartedness vs the Readerâs seriousness as teachers. plus! the tension in their stories!! so much sexual tension!!! Nat does a PHENOMENAL job at building up sexc scenes and I am so envious of their skill.
theyâre also just a super open person. v non-judgmental on like literally everything. their blog has a lot of content on chubby!Reader, so check âem if thatâs something youâre looking for!

okay so Lock is most known for her horror content, but I feel like her fluff isnât recognized enough. I am in LOVE with her Scarlet Ribbons series. each chapter makes me feel so warm. I also feel like she doesnât get enough credit for her timing? like, there have been instances where Iâve literally laughed out loud to her pieces with Mista. ofc that comes to play in her horror content too, but sheâs just a really funny person as a whole and I feel like that should be recognized.
overall - you know how you can tell when someone is smiling when theyâre on the phone with you? thatâs the kind of vibe I get when I read her work. Lock puts her everything into her craft, which is incredible considering sheâs a full-time student!

youâve probably heard of Vanya if youâve been on the tumblr fanfiction scene for a while! and for a good reason too -- her work is otherworldly. my jaw literally dropped reading her âAlmost Godâ piece. she has this crazy ability to get into a characterâs psyche and write it in such an insightful way. like. my pea brain canât wrap my head around it; just check out âAlmost Godâ to get my point.
Vanyaâs also a huge advocate for recognizing and protecting content creatorsâ work on this platform. sheâs a godsend, I love her and her ruthlessness, but sheâs also incredibly kind and I have sosososo much respect for her!

Emmy!!! my love. Emmy is a literal machine, sheâs amazing at coming up with such fun headcanons on the fly. hence, sheâs always interacting with her followers! she plays so many ask games and itâs always a blast bouncing off of her and her big brain. her blog is different form these in that she focuses more on short nâ sweet content, and if youâre looking for that kind of stuff, look no further!!
also? also. Emmy is literally one of the kindest and most patient people Iâve met on here. her blog makes me feel like Iâm in a swanky cafe / library, and sheâs the barista giving me personalized content.

fun fact, Gooseâs writing is what actually motivated me to make this blog! they have SUCH a strong grasp on literally every character they write about. like, their headcanons tend to fair on the shorter side, and they make the most out of literally every word they lay out. I try to emulate that in my own work, so I take a lot of inspiration from them!
Goose is also in the midst of shifting to multi-fandom; be sure you support them as they do so!! itâs tough engaging a new audience and they deserve every damn person on this platform to read their work.

Maeve is an INCREDIBLE fluff writer, oh my GOD. she absolutely nails the pining part of relationships in her âRealizationsâ series. itâs bananas how well she can exemplify that shift from âhaha weâre just 2 bestiesâ to âoh lord I think Iâm in love with his moronâ and how those characters settle into those emotions. hence, she excels in writing actions and inner thoughts. itâs something I struggle with and she makes it look so easy!
Maeve is another writer whoâs shifting to multi-fandom -- please go support her! sheâs settling into Haikyuu!! as we speak, so if youâre interested in tender volleyball content, check her out.

favorite piece: s/o with eczema | itadori yuji, megumi fushiguro
literally the Jujutsu Kaisen content queen herself. itâs unlikely you havenât seen her pop up in the tags if youâre in this fandom, but my god does she deserve it. Violettelueur is another fluff writer who puts so much effort to make everyone feel included on her blog. like... my favorite piece, the âs/o with eczemaâ one, is such a niche topic (where my dry skin girls at make some noise!!!!) and yet. she tackled it nonetheless. Iâm amazed with how much effort she puts into literally everything she writes, because good lord do I wish I had the drive she does.
Vio is currently taking a break from writing, but I highly recommend chilling out and having coffee with her (ie checking out her blog)! thereâs a ton to content to skim through while you relax.
summary:Â Home is where the heart is. If youâre inclined to believe your mother, you know that the saying stands true. But you are not a believer, just someone who loves a little too much.
notes: uhhhh some writing practice, i guess. more on the fluff side, sorry! title is taken from ocean vuongâs into the breach!
sav. my best friend. platonic love of my life. âdo you wanna get out of here?â with iwa or gojo <333
hello platonic loml. iâm sorry.
note: implied jjk vol 0 spoilers!! love u all <3
on this day, of all days, the sun should have chosen to retreat behind the clouds. it should not reflect on the snow that coats the ground, it should not creep onto the cloth of your jacket, and it should not lay in gojo satoruâs eyes as he stares out at the campus that lays ahead of you.
but it does. even as the winter chill makes you lean into him, the end of december still continues on, and there is no stopping the passage of time today.
and hereâs the thingâgojo satoru does not cry. not in front of you, not in front of geto, and you suppose youâll never be sure of the alone part. and yet, as snow blows from the roof of the building and blends into his hair, you can see the way his jaw tightens with every shaken breath, the way his nails dig into his empty palm, the way he bites the inside of his cheek while he looks anywhere but you.
sentences crawl up your throat and die on your tongueânothing feels quite right. the one right thing, you suppose, about this fucked up afternoon, is the fact that his hand is in yours, and even though he grips onto it after every deep breath, even though his fingers are beginning to feel too cold in this weather, youâre glad that itâs one barrier heâs never bothered to put up. not around you, at least.
and though youâve never been good at this kind of thing, no matter the cause, and though you canât even seem to think in full sentences before he makes another movement and another concern breaks to the front of your skull, the words iâm sorry seem to spill out in a rushed whisper before you can even begin to stop them.
a humorless breath escapes his lips, and because itâs december 24th and because itâs damn freezing, you watch as it disperses into the air.
ânot like you couldâve stopped it,â he says, his head falling to hang near his legs. these stone stairs are beginning to feel far too cold against your legs. âi sure as hell couldnât.â
you donât point out the way he clears his throat after that last comment, nor the way he shifts in his spot where he sits, bringing a fist up to mouth and tensing his jaw against his knuckles.
silence passes over the two of you again, only the whistle of the wind to hold both of you to the moment. you look at the ground that lies ahead of you, choosing to not look at him for any longer. at some point, it felt like you were invading his space more than you were keeping a careful eye on him. yet as you look away, you feel him lean further into you. he doesnât turn towards you, doesnât even change the way he grips onto your hand, itâs only the feeling of his shoulder trying to close a non-existent gap between yours. and as though you know the motion, you bring your free hand up and across your body, resting gentle fingers on his shoulder, tracing the seams of his jacket.
and you hate this. all of it. the fact that good people are forced to do bad things, the fact that good people succumb to darkness, the fact that people are born with fate placed into their hands until it scorches their skin with its misfortune. neither of you chose this, neither of you woke up and wanted to save people from damnation. and yet, here you both are, guardians of a world that had never asked for such a thing.
but youâre not even angry. no, the claws that scratch and tighten at your throat are a different kind of painâand it tastes an awful lot like being lost and defeated. so you donât even think before you say it, the syllables being crushed beneath the pressure of tears that threaten to spill over, as though your body was trying to fight back against your soul.
âdo you wanna get out of here?â
he looks up then, watching the same spot on the ground that you are, and accepts it when you lay your head against his shoulder. you feel him lean until his head rests atop yours, anyway. maybe itâs something you both needed.
âwhere would we even go?â he asks, but the question falls flat. heâs not expecting an answer, not to this one or any other question that you know is swimming in that head of his.
âsomewhere,â you begin, âanywhere,â you add, because youâre starting to think that any place might work better than this.
âsounds nice, doesnât it?â thereâs a strain to his voice, cracks in the vowels that sound so foreign against his usual tone. heâs trying to smileâyou can feel the way it wavers against you. âsomewhere warm, maybe. whatâd nanami say? malaysia?â
âmalaysia,â you hum, and take a breath, letting your eyes close for only a moment. âhe might kill us if we follow him there.â
âthen hawaii, maybe,â he replies. he sounds steadier now, but thereâs a gruffness to his voice that feels so displaced, a certain sorrowful fall in his tone.
âhawaii,â you agree anyway.
and both of you know that youâll never get to hawaii, because as you look straight ahead, allowing your gazes to fall on the horizon, and you realize youâre both facing the first-year dorms.
âweâll never leave, will we?â itâs meant to be a question, but thereâs a sigh in how you say it. through the lights of the windows, you can see two first-years walk together through the halls.
âno, doll,â he whispers, âi donât think we will.â he grips your hand. once, and then twice, and then a third time. you feel something drip onto the top of your head, and you donât have to look to know what it is.
âcanât let one of them end like he did,â he says with a final breath, a shake to his voice, and a final squeeze to the hand that lays in his.
âž established relationship, hurt/comfort, loads of comfort fluff, slight angst
âž alternatively titled âiâd rather my hugs stop your tears than solve global warming!â
gojo tries to comfort you, despite believing himself to be quite bad at it
gojo isnât good at dealing with tense atmospheres. the air becomes too stuffy and it feels like the walls are caving in. it makes him want to desperately crack a window open just to let some fresh air in, like it could somehow wash away the heaviness looming over. he knows heâs not all that claustrophobic though, just unwilling to deal with such situations.
but when you come home one night looking obviously down in the dumpsâhis usual, cheery âwelcome home!â met with only a weak humâgojo finds himself perplexed. heâs not the kind of person to know exactly what to do to make someone feel better. itâs too tricky for him to navigate and too complicated to think about.
