Early Vessel AU Question:

How would Megumi and Yuji's first interaction work instead? With Sukuna's obsession with Megumi in canon, does he push Yuji to befriend him? Do he and Gojo still have their 10 second fight?

This AU is cute. I will kill every and then myself for baby Yuji

i think nearing the canon timeline, kaorijaku runs off like a year prior to take geto's body. yuuji waits until she sends word to start tracking down the fingers. sukuna helps him by sensing the finger's general location, but refuses to hold yuuji's hand through the process of finding them.

yuuji gets to the school that evening and hears a crash inside the building - he takes a running start through a window, and realizes two things at once; there are students in the grasp of curses, and a sorcerer is standing right in front of him. for a split second he considers bolting, but he stays and helps megumi save the others. megumi questions him after and yuuji accidentally lets his name slip. megumi seems... kind. a little grouchy. yuuji likes him instantly - but there's a reason why he's here.

so when megumi asks for the finger, yuuji hesitates - before they're attacked by the curse through the ceiling. it somewhat follows canon from here - yuuji tries to protect megumi, eats the finger to keep the curse from getting it (which looks insane to megumi, as yuuji already has ce. any sorcerer would know that eating one of sukuna's fingers is a death sentence). but yuuji... doesn't die. instead yuuji takes a risk and uses dismantle, excorsizing the spirit in one swoop of his hand. and then he seems fine. not possessed at all - he whoops and grins at megumi and needles him about going to see a doctor. megumi is bewildered. yuuji tries to head out - like nice to meet you! even as megumi protests, but gets stopped cold by gojo showing up.

the 10 second fight still happens, and gojo realizes yuuji has been a vessel a lot longer than he assumed. megumi chooses to save yuuji after seeing him help the students, even trying to save megumi when he could've just ran... whoever he is, whyever he's here, megumi doesn't think he's a bad person.

from there yuuji becomes gojo's (somewhat unwilling) student. gojo sees a kid likely wrapped up in a bad situation, and yuuji sees a sorcerer who doesn't? want to kill him? which goes against what he was taught.

as for sukuna's interest in megumi... let's just say he's found his ticket out of the binding vow with yuuji :)

what is kaori and yuji’s relationship like in your early vessel au

kaori is very fond of yuuji, even enjoying motherhood to an extent. but she still has the mindset of a scientist - her fondness for yuuji doesn't impede her goals. it's almost paradoxical - she acts like a mom would in many cases, making dinner, taking him to school, comforting him when he scrapes his knee. but ultimately she loves him like frankenstein might love his monster - her creation, her success. everything's a fascinating new experiment with yuuji; birthing a vessel, raising a child, leading him to the slaughter...

there's also a sillier side to kenjaku that i really love (and that i think in some ways even canon yuuji inherited...) she craves an end to her boredom, and yuuji is a pretty goofy kid. i think she'd look back fondly on her time as his mother

yuuji on the other hand loves his mom very deeply. i don't think she'd be this evil imposing figure in his life. it's just his mom... in a way that i think most people who care about him can't understand. she seems more like monster, manipulating a kid into terrible circumstances. and in many ways she is! but yuuji would feel like kaori never lied to him. he made his own choices every step of the way (even though he was like 5, being asked to become a vessel and make a binding vow...) i think in the end it would tear him up, knowing they're on opposite sides.

at it's core i think their relationship is messy and yet strangely very simple. scientist and experiment. mother and son.
