The Lights to Guide You

(Or Navigation for my blog)

Most posts have the characters’ name tagged. 

hitodama amongst the neon lights - The tag used for any fanfiction ideas I came up with. 

reports found during overtime - A supplementary tag for any specific details for the fanfic ideas. 

the world of hypmic - Headcanons and theories that center on the concepts and world in which the Hypmic characters live.

feeling like hennessy - A tag for silly things I come up with in regards to hypnosis mic characters.

30 days of hypmic challenge - The post series that got this blog started. Filled with headcanons, analyses and sobbing over these boys.

dashing off to the shuden - Usually it’s just me talking about random things related to hypmic such as ARB events, my love of any the guys and releases (It’s mainly for people that would like to skip my stupid shenanigans)

How the Most Dangerous Thing is to Love

“Would you care to join me in changing the world?”

They had been careless words he uttered that day. Yet those two kept the mics and stepped forward with him from that day on. He thought he had allies...not that he’d found sanctuary.

“I’m lucky to have friends as strong as you.”

He’d spoken it unconsciously but he meant it. Companions as courageous, kind and yes, strange as them. Truly, he had been blessed. And all this incident proved was how with them, even monsters would have to bow.

“Do you trust me?”

And with those foolishly candid words, he damned them.

Virtues are Nothing Without Vice

He should get away, as pathetic as wriggling away would be. Yet Hifumi remained, his eyes watching how blood and bedlam erupted under the man’s hands. Steady as if he were in the theater and the body at his feet his next patient. Ethereal like the moon spilling through the broken window. Gentle as his touch ghosted above the angry red slashes.

In a mere whisper, Jakurai asked, “Who did this to you?”

Leverage Implies Even Ground

Doppo jerked from her touch and narrowly missed biting her hand. In retribution, the wires bit into him. The constriction that normally served as a comfort left him breathless and warm. The warmth slithered down and started to stain the steely wire and his collar. 

A tut, not unlike a disappointed teacher, came from her. Her grating voice scolded, “Aht aht, Kannonzaka. Don’t go taking yourself out so easily. Or do. At least then I can have Hifumi to myself.”

Despite the vise, he wheezed “Over my dead body.”

Honobono leveled her gaze to his height, “I can arrange that, you know.”

My Love Has Concrete Feet

"You have to let go," Jyuto urged, his voice quiet. His usual haughtiness gone. Despite this his eyes shifted between the red that dyed a once red coat and the red and stained teal that prevented him from coming any closer, "Jinguji-san can still be saved but you must let us treat him, Kannonzaka-san."

A snarl was his only response before the feedback of a hypnosis mic screeched in his ears.

(Jakurai is grievously injured, Doppo has lost control of his ability and Hifumi has to find a way to save them both.

A Shot for Luck

“C’mon man, let’s go while the getting’s good!” Dice called with a pat on the eldest Yamada’s shoulder. Ichiro still hadn’t moved, staring at the back of the gambler in shock.

“You remembered?” Ichiro thought it was a joke. Or another set of empty words meant for some wishful thinking. He was met with the turn of Dice’s head as he replied, “’Course, it’s your birthday. I gave my word. And you know I’m always good for that.”

(Dice and Ichiro are childhood friends and Dice takes Ichiro out for his 20th)

Here’s Looking at You, Kid

It’s Ichiro’s 20th birthday and he finds himself at a hole in the wall when a familiar face settles next to him.

In the Eyes of the Beholder / Oil and Water

Unsure of what to do, Doppo turns to asking an older art student, Jakurai, if he would be willing to work with him. Jakurai doesn’t mind even though he doesn’t think his preferred medium would be optimal for where he feels Doppo would like to work. And secretly he hopes maybe helping Doppo find his muse might spark Jakurai from his artist’s block. 

In an attempt to help him, Ramuda takes Jakurai out to an outing displaying other forms of the arts. And it is when he is at the showcasing mermaidry that Jakurai finds his muse...one that, now that he thinks about it is very familiar.

Ghosts like Chains 

Doppo could see what others could not and normally left spirits to their devices. But there was something about how they swarmed that made him take notice. And it was the downcast expression contrasting with the shock of pink hair that made him approach.

Rack Up (the Bills)

After getting kicked out of the casino Dice tends to find other ways to gamble. And on this particular night, it was betting with a certain salaryman on a game of pool. However what he thought was an easy hustle turns to bit of competition because how the hell did he sink 3 in a row?

(Dice and Doppo play pool and maybe gamble too)

From the Rooftops of the Sleepless City

It was an open secret that Hifumi preferred to take his breaks on the roof of Fragrance. He even had a small set up up there. Other hosts found it a little odd but Hifumi was an unusual host to begin with. And what does he spend his time doing? A lot of times just playing on his phone but other times, he would be seeing if there was a light on on the fifth floor of a certain building.

The Eye Sees Not Itself

It’s the post-surgery with Hifumi having recovered a bit faster than Doppo. Left alone with his thoughts...he thinks about how it came to this.

When Words Aren’t Enough, Fists Will Do

Doppo comes to Fragrance to pick Hifumi up on a whim but before Gigolo can scold him for staying up so late, some unsavory sorts make their way into the club. As the most experienced with mics, they team up until one of the hoodlums knocks Doppo out. With violence brought outside of mics, Gigolo supposes that that he could only meet in kind.

Measure Twice, Cut Once, Still Fucked It Up

It wasn’t often that his ‘hobby’ gave him frustration yet here Ramuda was tossing another design in the bin. He’s had deadlines that stressed him less than this. But he needed his best. He had to. A collaboration with the Vice Collection? Backing down wasn’t an option. Especially when a meeting the mysterious designer behind the brand was on the line. But a familiar face was the last thing Ramuda was expecting...

(Secret rivals! With Samatoki and Ramuda)

You Touched Me and Suddenly I Was a Lilac Sky

Ramuda could see how things could be broken apart. He could see the pieces that comprised the whole. It was useful in his profession but on a whim he’d gone with Samatoki on an outing. What he didn’t expect was to go shopping, it didn’t seem like the yakuza’s style. But hearing Samatoki talk about the aesthetic behind clothes...Ramuda started to see another use for his ability...

(What if Samatoki had inspired Ramuda? TDD Era!)

The Lights to Guide You

It wasn’t often Doppo took off for work but it was for his own good. Obon tended to be rough for him with spirits coming to visit all their loved ones. Sure, they normally held no ill intentions but the sheer numbers would have him unsteady until they left. Spurned by his boss’ heckling though, Doppo decided to venture out rather than lock himself in his apartment as usual. And he finds that many of the divisions have someone looking out for them...even if they don’t know it. And with his help...they might just be able to convey their love for them.

Reaching for a Falling Star

The man seemed...less than trustworthy yet there had to be a reason they ended up here. Lowering his pipe, he remarked, “Quite the crowd we got tonight. So? What’s it that brought you here?”

Dice called, “I need to go back home.”

Gentaro replied, “I’ll go anywhere but my homeworld.”

The man peered over his darkened glasses as he looked to Ramuda, “And you? What’s it that you wish for?”

“Wish for...?” Ramuda repeated. That was beyond him. Yet the words came from him, “I wish to find my home amongst the stars.”

“Oh, looks like there’s a common factor here,” the man said, “well, I’m not sure if you’ll have enough on your own but pool your prices together, you might just scrape by.”
