Don’t venture into the forest alone, or you will end up befriending a lonely kitsune

Eye of the Beholder (chapter 1/2) NSFW
fic by PriorityNaps
“Hey, are you gonna run an event for Hijikata’s birthday?” you ask, as one does.
“No. No, I am not,” I answer. When I see your disappointment, I quickly comment, “But there is a non-ship-specific event happening! You should totally join!”
You demand that I produce both the tumblr and Twitter for the event, which I gleefully do in the links in this sentence.
Gintama THE FINAL: The Compressed Timeline Mini Reverse Bang Fanworks Event is being held in celebration of the final Gintama movie being released on January 8, 2021.
THAT’S SO SOON, you’re thinking. Yes, it is, which is why it’s a *mini* event. How will it work?
Don't venture into the forest alone, or you will end up befriending a lonely kitsune
"With his curiosity peaked, Toushirou slowly sat up and crawled over.
Fur?
It was white? No, darker than white. Silver?
Toushirou picked up the tuft of fur on the ground, wondering what animal it could have come from. He had been here so many times, but had never seen an animal with silver-white fur. Maybe a new animal moved into the forest and he had yet to see it?
From behind the bushes, a pair of curious red eyes watched the young boy."
-----
7-year old Hijikata, shunned by his family, meets a young kitsune living alone in the forest.
(A Kitsune! Gintoki x Human! Hijikata AU)
-Oneshot, Complete-
Written for GinHijiGin Week 2020, for the prompt: Gintoki's Birthday.
You'll see how the prompt links with a Kitsune AU. :)
Last one!! I know I’m a little late here in my timezone, but it’s still Gintoki’s birthday on the other side of the world! HAHA!
Day 6: Gintoki’s Birthday
I just want to say a big big thank you to all the mods, participants, readers, and of course my two lovely partners for giving me a chance to express myself through this event. I’ve always been anxious about posting anything because I feel like I still have a lot to improve on, but taking on this challenge was worth it in every way. I learned a lot about myself from this lovely event and I gained more skills in the past few months than I have in a very long time. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
I hope you enjoyed my work as much as I did making them 🙇♀️ Thank you for your time!
Happy Birthday Gintoki!!! 🥳

If you’ve read the other @gintokibirthdaybash fics and thought, “Yeah, those are nice, but what I’m really looking for is a fic that’s just plain stupid, and if it could be GinHiji/HijiGin switch, that would be even better,” boy do I have the fic for you! If you’re not interested in stupid GinHijiGin switch, go look at it anyway for the truly kick-ass art from @seliaeden!
Happy Birthday to my favorite sugar-addicted war criminal! //w//
I partnered with Strawberry Justaway for Gintoki Birthday Bash!
Please go read the full fic it’s amazing!!

In Edo, Amanto fauna and flora are in high demand as exotic and fashionable accessories. Alien biology, however, can have more than a couple of side-effects on the human mind and body…
Gintoki is going about his business as usual when out of nowhere Hijikata starts being extremely affectionate towards him. Can Gintoki figure out what’s going on before having to admit to himself just how much he’s enjoying it? Or at least before being teased into oblivion by Sougo and Kagura?
Just in case you thought when we said “fic with art,” we meant each fic came with no more than one piece of artwork. No, no. Quite a few of the fics have two, three, or more works of art to complement them!
AU where HIjikata is a modern cop. Gintoki is an undercover cop that is trying to gather intel from an underground drug-dealing trade. But, Hijikata does not know and thinks he has portrayed him.
