This is a KagaKise fic blog. These fics are an examination of the chemistry between Kagami Taiga and Kise Ryouta. Part fic, part meta, and a few flights of fancy. Please understand and interact accordingly. || by Himi

Closing thoughts under the cut.
This concludes Dissonance of Attraction (and possibly my fanfic career). When I decided that I was going to tell my original story through the Sims, I figured I'd throw myself into a crash course on turning prose into serial art. I originally wrote this fic back in 2015 and I still love it. I thought it would be perfect for a crash course: it was short, ran the gamut of emotions, and, most importantly it was complete.
I had to revise the story to work within the confines of the game itself, but not to the point that it became unrecognizable. I had fun, learned a lot, and I'm pretty happy about how it all turned out.
Thanx to anyone who liked, read, or commented on the story; I appreciate that you chose to spare some time for it. Particular shout out to @igotsnothing for always cheering me on and being quite adept with the ts4 editing skill which continues to inspire me; and @cinamun for leading by example and confirming for me that my story about messy people doing questionable things and questionable people doing messy things can and should be told. Just reading Things Fall Apart urged me to finish up this project so I could really get my hands dirty with this story of mine whose first iteration is old enough to drive.
That story is Keystone, and it will begin "airing" before the end of the year. It is completely different from the angsty fluff of Dissonance and will be full of all the things life throws at you and more, so I hope you'll stick around for it as well.
In the meantime, in preparation for Keystone, I'll be updating my game, updating my mods, updating reshade, and building up a storm, so keep an eye out for all of that too!
Dissonance of Attraction - Act I: Counterpoint is up!
It seems that whenever Kagami’s plans with someone else falls through, he calls Kise to see if he can fill in. Although Kise enjoys his time with Kagami, he’s tired of being Plan B. But when an opportunity to voice his dissatisfaction turns into a screaming match, will Kise try to make himself heard or will he stay silent and give up on the idea of ever being Kagami’s first choice?
COMING SOON! Dissonance of Attraction -- SimsComic
Take another ride with Kagami and Kise as they grumble, laugh, sing, and yell their way to "Yes."
Dissonance of Attraction is being adapted into a SimsComic by yours truly. It is an adaptation, so there will be some minor changes to suit the medium. If you like the KagaKise of my heart in prose, then I hope you'll give them a chance when I bring them to you in color. Thanx in advance.
If you've never read the fic or want a refresher, check it out on AO3.

I think I mentioned this a while back, but I just realized that I never posted a link here. Maybe because I said I was shutting this blog down…? I just created a link post but found this in my drafts right after. Anyway, here you go.

Oh gosh! I can't believe it took me this long to find you!! I've been desperately searching for a kagakise blog that wiuld blew my mind and I'm so glad I finally found you!! Your stories are the best!! Thank you so much for writing and sharing them.
This was so awesome to wake up to!
Thanx for the praise and support; it really means a lot!
When I first started reading KnB, I fell in love with Kagami instantly and he was my fav until Kiyoshi showed up on the scene. Now Kagami is my second fav, but you wouldn’t think so since I’ve written more for him than I have for Kiyoshi. Anyway, I’m in the process of going through my old blog to find stuff I want to keep before I delete it (it’s been a year since I stopped posting on it).
So, I found something I wrote about Kagami, but at the time, I didn’t ship him with anyone. I acknowledged most of the ships for him--some artwork can be very convincing--but they didn’t actually do anything for me. But that was fine, because I don’t need to ship my faves. Now that I think about it though, not shipping my faves might be kind of a habit. As I was saying, I didn’t ship Kagami with anyone, but I had an HC for him and I didn’t know what to do with it.
I wrote this January 17, 2014. Five days before I broke my ankle and just a few weeks before I started writing my first KagaKise fic while I was depressed in rehab. I don’t have any plans for this, but I figured I’d share it with you guys because I thought it was funny that I completely forgot about it, but now I know who the perfect boyfriend is.
What’s below is just copied and pasted unedited from here.
I’m not really into AoKaga and I only vaguely ship KagaKuro, but I love Kagami and have it in my head that there would be a point that either Aomine or Kuroko would get jealous of the ring he wears around his neck because they know it came from his ex, Himuro. It didn’t bother the boyfriend before (they’ve been together since high school, probably something like 7 or 8 years at this point), but they ran into Himuro one day recently and the boyfriend got the distinct impression that he still had feelings for Kagami. Kagami’s a bit of a dolt, so his radar is only able to receive signals from the guy he acknowledges as his boyfriend and even that’s a gamble. Since the encounter, the boyfriend often sees him playing with the ring and seemingly staring off into space as if he were reminiscing. And it doesn’t help that Kagami has met up with Himuro at least twice since then.
This week, Kagami’s confused and frustrated because he can’t figure out why he’s had to replace the chain several times in the last few weeks. It’s popped during sex, roughhousing, one-on-one with his beau, and there was the time he woke up to see that it was on the floor. The first time he thought it was about time because the chain was about 20 years old and he’d never been all that conscious of how he treated it except to make sure he was never without it. The second time, he thought it was just because he bought a cheaply made chain. The third time he decided that rather than exchanging it for a new one from the same jeweler, he should have gone to a different store or asked Kise for a recommendation. When it happened the fourth time, he was running late and didn’t have time to worry about it and just left it with Kise to take care of. However, the fifth time, he could have sworn he saw his boyfriend grab it intentionally with–and he hesitated to even complete the thought–malice in his eyes.
Again he was too busy to deal with it, so, at the first chance, he plopped himself on the sofa to fiddle with it because he really didn’t want to buy yet another chain. Kagami’s pretty easy going so the ill intentions he’s now so sure he imagined have gone without a trace. There he is on the sofa fiddling away when the boyfriend comes home to find him oblivious to all but the chain. Unbeknownst to Kagami, this scene was the last straw for the boyfriend and Kagami was shocked (but somewhere deep inside, he wasn’t) when the boyfriend spared no words to express his disdain for even the idea of Kagami looking troubled over or focusing on something that represented a previous love, especially one that seemed to have lingering affections.
Now they’ve been together for 7 or so years and the boyfriend knows what the ring truly represents to Kagami and he knows how fortunate he is to be the one that Kagami loves. Kagami, a little rough, but an infinitely caring and generous lover and friend. Loyal and honest. This is the guy he fell in love with. While he’s not quite Kise or Kiyoshi, Kagami’s pretty open about his love in ways that anyone that knows him would understand. But it’s this very knowledge that presently only serves to exacerbate the boyfriend’s anger. Knowing how Kagami is, but still getting angry, not saying anything before, and now taking it out on Kagami just makes the boyfriend feel worse, but he’s hurt and feels like he can’t stop.
Kagami knows his boyfriend well and he understands that this is not a bad day, this is not a small thing, and it is most certainly not a joke. Rather than respond in kind as he’s been known to do when confronted in such a manner, Kagami just listens for a minute before apologizing for not realizing the boyfriend was feeling that way. They talk. Kagami reassures the boyfriend that the ring is now and always has been a token of his first love: basketball. And that while Tatsuya is the one that gave it to him, it was long before any romantic feelings developed between them and that the Tatsuya who gave him basketball and that he loves like a brother and the Tatsuya who he once claimed as his boyfriend are two different people in his heart and in his mind.
After additional assurances were given in the form of a few kisses, Kagami held his boyfriend’s face in his hands and while looking directly into his eyes, told the boyfriend, “even if Tatsuya still feels something for me, my love is only for YOU and,” Kagami takes his boyfriend’s hand and places it over his pounding heart, “I have no love like this to spare.”
The boyfriend buries his face in the crook of Kagami’s neck and, beneath the embarrassment, mumbles and whispers apology after “I love you” after apology.
The next morning, Kagami enters the kitchen to find the boyfriend preparing a light breakfast. The boyfriend turns around and notices that Kagami’s neck is bare and so asks about it.
Kagami brushes it off, but he sees his boyfriend spin back around to face the sink and then reasons to himself that what he’s been thinking needs to be said. Kagami walks up behind his boyfriend and slides his left hand, palm up, under his boyfriend’s. He laces their fingers together and then brings their hands up to his lips and kisses his boyfriend’s hand and says, “if I need a symbol to remind me of what basketball means to me, then the rings we exchanged on graduation day–that we still wear even now–should be more than enough, because, if I didn’t have basketball, I may have never had the pleasure and the honor of knowing and loving you.”
===============
For me, I think Kuroko would be the best boyfriend in this scenario. Although he’s straightforward, I think he’s rather clever and his matter-of-fact mannerisms can actually be a form of subtlety. And I think Kuroko getting demonstratively emotional would be a clear sign to anyone that something’s really, really wrong.
If Found, was supposed to end with Volume Three, but now it’s going to end with Volume Four.
There are two versions on AO3:
Script/Hybrid Version: Volumes One | Two | Three
Full Prose Version: Volumes One | Two
Even if you’ve already read the hybrid, I encourage you to read the prose.
While I’m converting Volume Three into prose and before I start on Volume Four, I’m going to try to write the last part of a KiyoKise fic a reader encouraged me to write. So, maybe I’ll be posting Volume Four in May?
I’ll update here again once I start on Volume Four.
