Are there any Goyuu fics where Gojo has to fight a Sukuna possessed Yuji? I think that would involve some very interesting plot due to feeling they have for each other

The closest I found was (Don't Ever) Let Me Go by fifthgiver, in which Gojo has to fight a 20-finger strong Sukuna and things go very wrong (heavy angst, MCD).

I tried several tag combinations and asked around, but it doesn't seem like many authors have worked with this premise. Which is a shame since I wholly agree, it would be SO interesting!

Adding to this, not quite what you were asking for, but Hyoushin touches on Yuuji and Sukuna merging on some of their fics, which is tangentially related and quite interesting too.

Upturned skies

Summary:

"You got the Six Eyes and Limitless, correct?" Yuuji didn’t know him yet and assumptions could be detrimental, however, Yuuji hoped this wasn’t another case where he would have to deal with snottiness. Nobility, and any sense of self-importance derived from it, was worthless on and off the field.

Yuuji leaned towards him, leaving a scant distance between them. "Go ahead. Look. I don't mind."

Satoru raised his eyebrows, recognizing the dare thrown at him; his expectations overturned.

Itadori Yuuji had faced many challenges. A new one would come in the form of Ieiri Shoko, Getou Suguru, and Gojou Satoru.

Thoughts

Oh. Oh, this fic. A treasure trove of character exploration, and beautiful, beautiful prose. Most of all, it's a very succesful effort at answering the what-ifs a role reversal scenario poses.

I really enjoy the author's take on adult Yuuji, and how the events of Hidden Inventory might look like in his eyes. Not to mention his relationship with Satoru. His love and care is so palpable, it's truly a wonderful thing to witness. The story being Pre-Slash adds to this, in my opinion, as it intensifies the feeling of unacknowledged yearning through out.

I'd say this is the kind of story that is meant to be digested slowly, with care. One of my favorites for sure.

[goyuuficrecs]

the good flesh continuing

Summary:

He reached down, gently cradled Yuuji’s face in his hands, and he leaned in impossibly close, so close he could feel Yuuji’s little hitching breaths against his lips. “All you have to do is be a little unclean—do you think you can do that, for me?”

What a read! Mythological settings are always a treat, and I just adore the author's choice of making Gojo the morally ambiguous angel to Yuuji's Lot. So fitting.

The style is interesting and very effective at conveying the tone. Also very sexy if dubcon and immortal beings playing favorites is your thing (it most definitely is mine).

[goyuuficrecs]

I've already found a couple gems in your other rec list, so I decided to try too. Any rec for the senpai-kohai AU? I dunno why, but I am craving this AU, love the idea of student-era!Gojo and Yuji interact together and fall for each other. Especially since younger Gojo has something to him that feels different from his older self. Maybe it's the arrogance🤔?

Hey! Your ask made me realize I haven't actually read that many senpai-kohai fics, despite this au being so popular from what I can see. I did some searching and ended up with this list!

Sunsoaked by musika_wu (3.7k | T | mutual pining, fluff)

playground by FallingSand (5.9k | T | pining, getting together, fluff and humour)

perpetual day by archaic_cotton (7.5k | E | established relationship, public sex, domesticity)

Touch me, touch you by Rizna (7.6k | M | pining, misunderstandings)

Convergence by NoGravity (70k | M | manga spoilers, time travel, hurt/comfort, slow burn | the tags don't specify but if my memory serves me correctly, there's at least one fairly explicit sex scene where Gojo bottoms and probably a few hints at switching. It's still a slowburn though! There's a whole journey before reaching that point with so many feels)

A Happy Incident by moodymoody (88.6k/? | M | omegaverse, unplanned pregnancy | ON-GOING; I wouldn't usually recommend incomplete stories, but this one is my favorite teen!Gojo characterization I've read, so I had to. Also not usually a fan of pregnancy stories, but the way this author develops Gojo and Yuuji's emotional connection is so good, I double had to)

Dying Lately

Summary:

Gojo had been on this fetish train for the last two weeks, the older man practically begging for it. Well...not begging.

Whining mostly.

Thoughts

Despite leaning more towards top!Gojo, I'm the kind to crave variety from time to time. It truly is a tragedy that there's not a whole lot of the reverse out there (or explicitly versatile!goyuu even? If you know any please let me know), and therefore, I infinitely treasure all my favorites.

This one is so fun. Very sexy, very loving and so playful. Gojo is such a brat (a little manic, a lot to handle, much to love) and Yuuji is the exasperated little puppy who couldn't love his sensei more if he tried.

Other than really enjoying the author's witty style, the story being set a few years into a established relationship really helps getting across how comfortable they are with each other, and that's always a lovely undertone to have in otherwise smutty fics.

[goyuuficrecs]

uno reverse card!! i found this account a few days ago and you helped me find one of my new favorite goyuu fics, holy heck. i wanted to leave something as thanks, so here's a rec from me! what's your color? (i wanna know) by blue_hydrangeas, the same author who wrote twist and sprout (another fave of mine). it's a soulmates au that's also canon compliant, though does not spoil the manga! to see the way touch deprivation and lack of soulmarks physically and mentally reflect on goyuu's sense of otherness or loneliness was well done in this fic, and seeing the way they get together at the end and how they overcome The Thing is so, so good 🥺 pleasant day to you!!

Hey! So happy I could help you find a new favorite!! Blue_hydrangeas has such a beautiful grasp on goyuu's characterization it makes me cry a little haha (forever hoping they'll bless us with another fic in the future).

I've read "What's you color?" before and can confirm, amazing work. The recommendation has been sitting in my drafts for a while actually, but that's just me neglecting this blog like the heathen I am*.

As you said, I adore how they explore Gojo's sense of otherness; what being untouchable means to him in this other, soulmate specific way. And the ending! So touching and sexy and wonderful.

Thank you so much for taking the time to recommend this story! I shall be rereading tonight in your honor, dear anon.

(*On that note, sorry for the inactivity! Didn't really expect to get any followers, so I started this out of a whim when I didn't have a lot of time. Hopefully the situation will change soon haha).

Blue and Gold

Summary:

“Hey,” calls Yuuji. Gojou pauses and looks back over his shoulder. “You never introduced yourself.”

“Gojou Satoru. Professor in Folklore, Ome City darts champion three years running, and man voted most likely to die without paying his bills by the hospital nurses’ association. Nice to meet you.” He throws a peace sign, turns it into a salute, and then keeps walking.

What a nut bar, thinks Yuuji.

Thoughts

Okay so this was my very first fic for this fandom, and it still stands as one of my favorites. My favorite Athena fic too, and you know I love them all. I couldn't possibly get all my thoughts down in a few concise paragraphs, but I'll do my best.

This author always crafts the most interesting worlds and premises, making me feel like I'm getting an insider view on everything they choose to touch on (chronic illness and japanese folklore, in this case), all delivered through a smart and easy to read writing style that pulls you in right away.

Ah, the romance and drama of it all. I love how naturally Gojo and Yuuji's relationship develops, how easy their chemistry is. They fall for each other hard and fast, and it hits me in the feels every single time. They're so fun together! It just fills me with joy. Also destroys me, when the hurt part of that Hurt/Comfort tag comes into play.

Another favorite aspect of this story is how enjoyable the characterizations are. I really like this take on an older Yuuji, so capable and caring and equipped with the maturity needed to handle (and adore every second of) the one and only, Gojo Satoru. And Gojo! what a delightful character to read. He's got a permanent silliness to himself paired with a frustrating, but very understandable nihilism that makes him inmediately fascinating. Plus the unique Gojo trait of being a grown man and a pretty boy all at once. How I adore him.

All in all, amazing read. I'd be surprised if you guys didn't already know of this fic, but if you didn't, please take a look! You won't regret it.

[goyuuficrecs]

Aaaa it's good to see you're still active! Your recs are always so good! Do you have any super fluffy ones with maybe a simpy Gojo?

Ah, thank you! There's a quite a bit of lovey dovey goyuu out there (bless) so I tried to keep to the Simp!Gojo part of your request, though there's a lot of mutual simping going on too haha

Hope you enjoy!

hi can You recomemded me some goyuu fic. but Gojo is twisted. or kind of have weird obssession. but not hasr one. he lovely and gentle. but also twisted when get jealouse. kind of like that. i wonder if there is something like that.

Hey! I have a few recs that could fit the "Gojo loves Yuuji, but he really isn't a good person" vibe. Unfortunately, they don't all feature jealousy prominently as a theme. Let me know if you'd like general recs for Jealous!Gojo.

All of these present Gojo as morally problematic, some to a bigger extent. Please browse carefully.

bloody noses, scrapped knees by umatoshika (3.3k | E | Shotacon, obsession, manipulation, Gojo is gentle and loving but *waves at first tag*).

[goyuuficrecs]

manipulate me (i won't apologize)

Summary:

What is not acceptable, however, is to react to a purring Omega teenager how one would react to a purring Omega adult. Any arousal or interest that sparks up is to be ignored and shunned. After all, young Omegas don’t know what they’re doing. They can’t be held accountable for something that is intrinsic. It’s up to the Alphas, the powerful, the leaders, to set the boundaries. Especially when the Alpha is older than the Omega.

Which is a very long way to saying that Satoru Gojo is an awful Alpha--in addition to being a pretty shitty person, at least in the morals department.

Thoughts

You know when a smut fic hits so many of your preferences at once that you just have to lean back in amazement?

There is the inherent dubcon of underage amplified by omegaverse, the desperation of a sudden heat, the shameless manipulation, Yuuji described as a gorgeous, unconventional omega; all fantastic. And then the best part, the story being told from the point of view of a shameless bastard Gojo who genuinely cares for and really really loves Yuuji.

There are mentions of breeding and pups, for anyone who'd like the heads up. As someone who loves that sort of heat-talk, that is just another plus on this amazingly tasty meal.

Like melting, falling

Summary:

"Ah!" sensei says, sounding delighted. "Does that mean you've never kissed anyone then? That's so cute!"

"That's not—! T-that. I've done that before," Yuuji blurts out without thinking, before sitting up, bright red and frowning. "I'm not a kid."

Gojou-sensei pouts and says, "Is that so? What a shame."

Before Yuuji can ask him what he means, he moves to get up. "I was going to offer to teach you how, as your ever generous sensei, but seeing as it’s not needed, I’ll let you be."

Unable to pick his jaw back up, he feels rooted on the spot, barely registering the sound of Gojou-sensei's laughter as he slips out of the room.

Yuuji has a crush. Unfortunately (fortunately?) Gojou notices.

Thoughts

This is probably my favorite type of fluff: quiet and heartwarming, pausing to take in the small details and the in-between moments.

What stays with me the most is Yuuji's evolving understanding of what falling in love means, as a young queer kid. Realizing your experience is different to other people's and trying to downplay it while simultaneously being extremely aware of it is very relatable to me, and I just love how the author kept this element of self-discovery through out the whole story.

Overall, I really enjoyed the writing style and felt my heart explode in my chest every time goyuu got any closer (especially the kissing scenes!). And I love how Yuuji is written as distinctly young and inexperienced but not naive. It felt quite refreshing to me, and made me feel what Yuuji was feeling right alongside him.

[goyuuficrecs]

Hi! Can you help me find a goyuu fic? The summary says something like: Gojo-Sensei shows Yuji there is more to sex than being inside someone. Thanks! Hope all is well!

I believe it might be anything for you by archaic_cotton. Hope you're doing great too!

[goyuuficrecs]

Hello! Thank you so much for all these great fic recs. Do you by any chance know the name of a fic where yuuji gets some glasses and Gojo gets super um 'excited'? I've been looking everywhere <3

Hey! Off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure it's Through red colored glasses by rizna. Let me know if you're looking for something else and I might be able to find it!

Thoughts

I didn't know this was something I wanted until I read it: a crack-y premise like fuck or die taken seriously in all it's complex emotional glory. Really, pre-relationship goyuu crossing the line in the worst possible way and then having to grapple with the fallout is just genius.

I loved the pacing and the tension throughout, but what I'm particularly charmed by is Gojo's characterization. I like him morally grey and shameless the best, but there is something about good adult Gojo being put in situations where he is powerless that really resonates with me. And, unsurprisingly, the moment where his resolves breaks and both of them just enjoy themselves despite everything was incredibly emotionally compelling, and also just very sexy.

Currently there is a sequel being updated that is also incredible, highly recommend that as well! I'm debating if I should post about unfinished fics here or not, since there are some true gems in the goyuu tag I've been following for a while, but I'm not sure. We'll see?

Thoughts

Amnesia is a guilty pleasure trope of mine, and paired with a secret relationship? I was crazy excited to read this and despite feeling like my heart got stabbed repeatedly through out I loved this story. I was hanging by a thread with only that happy ending tag as my lifeline for most of it. The prose and style did such a good work at creating an atmosphere of... wistfulness? that perfectly carried the emotional experience.

Many aspects of this fic made me emotional, but what stands out the most after rereading several times is how good Yuuji and Gojo are for each other. There's all these little moments where I couldn't help but think "ah, so this is why they love each other". They fit like puzzle pieces and nothing shows it better than the casual touches, the out of hand comments, the easy chemistry. It almost serves as a relationship study too, which is amazing.
