here's a drabble of a fic idea i have. let me know if you are interested in a long version!!!
thinking about growing up with prince! gojo...
your family served the monarchy for many generations. thus, your two parents met at the gojo's palace where they had you. you were born the same year as satoru and grew up alongside him. his parents thought you were the perfect servant for their son - you excelled at the tasks expected of you between hours spent playing with the prince, allowing you to know him better than anyone else could. you were his personal servant and you were expected to keep the prince on task: get him up in the morning, pick out his outfit for the day, get him to his classes, prepare him a snack. the list went on. it was only natural being the face he saw each morning when he woke up and each night before he went to bed that the two of you grew incredibly close. as you both got older your time together was strained by the duties expected of you under your servitude. of course the prince was completely unaware of this - often getting you in trouble by using his charm to distract you from his and your responsibilities. the king and queen tried not to pay much mind to your shenanigans, seeing how happy it made their son.
all though, once the prince grew to the age where he was expected to court - they weren't so okay with it anymore. you began getting punished for slacking on your duties - missing meal times and being sent to help clean the horse stables. you didn't take the punishments too seriously, enjoying your time with satoru too much to really care.
that was until the queen noticed her son spending his time talking to you at their annual ball instead of the debutantes from neighboring nations who were itching to marry him. it seemed he didn't even notice them when you were in the room; dressed in your best servant garb holding a plate of hors d'oeuvres. she found it embarrassing that so many people there bore witness to their son attached to a servant's side. the gojo's were not known for mistreating their staff, allowing them plenty of time off and other perks. but they were not any better than the other royals at the end of the day. having their prince twirl a servant's hair around his delicate finger, displaying his affection for you so blatantly... they had no choice but to give you an ultimatum. the gojo's were gonna make you care.
let their son down or your entire family would lose their jobs and all they've ever known.
the potential for flirtation... fluff... angst... omg. this would take so long to write but i kinda feel like i have to.
Heyyy!!! Can you recommend some good, new Demon! Shane fics? I've read almost all of themm 😭💖. (Multi chapter possibly)
sure thing!! here's what was recommended in-server! (please mind the tags!)
All In A Day's Work by Zukufan94 | 2k, M, Incomplete
Shane Madej is a cohost for Watcher Entertainment's Ghost Files. He is also a demon, who feeds off of the extreme amounts of fear his coworker Ryan experiences every episode. He may also be in love with Ryan. Ryan is oblivious to both of these facts.
The Devil's In The Details by chaoskiddeer | 87k, T, Complete
Shane had never thought too hard about taunting ghosts and demons. But it only takes one badly placed joke to invite in something that is better off left alone. His and Ryan’s comfortable friendship is going to be tested to its limits when a demon unleashes a storm of uncertainties into both of their lives, and lies pile up on both sides. One thing’s for certain: Once the storm passes, his and Ryan’s relationship will never be the same again.
For You Are With Me by goatman_entrapment | 36k, T, Complete
“I’m telling you right now if my eyes turn black, murder me.”
“And I’m telling you right now, I will not kill you.”
“Why?!”
“Because I need to save you!”
Or: Shane finally gets possessed by a demon and it's not as fun as anyone wants it to be.
Speak No Evil by drunkkenobi | 4k, T, Complete
It was boring, sitting in the silence, waiting for any kind of noise. Everything was amplified, from the movement of their clothes to the various bugs chirping outside. Ryan’s heartbeat was loudest of them all, even in the relative quiet. He closed his eyes, repeating his mantras.
I am not my fear. I am not my fear. I am not my fear.
“Then what are you?”
bringing things together that were never meant to fit by Anonymous | 8k, E, Complete
Ryan figured they’d maybe get a couple things on the spirit box that he’d insist sounded like words, only for Shane to dismiss it all as static and overanalysing on Ryan’s part. Perhaps a doll would fall over, or he’d spook himself in a way that made for good content at least.
At any rate, when they bid Mark and Teej goodbye and settle in for the night, Ryan’s not exactly concerned.
Rock 'n' Roll, Buckaroo by Ren_Saxon | 5k, M, Complete
And then something came out of the flames. He could feel it, could hear it, the otherworldly growl, the steps on the pentagram, towards him. The- the shuffle of hooves and then-
“Well, this is real awkward, I gotta say.”
Ryan’s breath hitched. He hesitated for a moment, then blinked one eye open. Spotted a familiar shape amongst the flames and opened the other too.
“Shane?”
While investigating a location on his own, Ryan ends up in the hands of a cult and is supposed to be sacrificed to a demon. As it turns out, the demon in question had called in sick two days prior, to tell Ryan he'd have to go ghost haunting alone. "Important family obligation" his ass.
Didn't read the fine print by Ren_Saxon | 13k, M, Complete
“Kiss one Ryan Bergara,” Shane muttered under his breath. “Okay. Sure. How hard can that be? If I hurry, I’ll be back by tea time.”
Shane did not make it home by tea time. In fact, it had been months now and he still wasn’t home. It wasn’t his fault, really. He was kind of stuck trying to gayly seduce a guy who built pillow walls between them in an attempt to physically manifest “no homos”.
Shane is a demon tasked with the mission to corrupt Ryan's soul via seduction. He's not doing a very good job.
What if the way you hold me is actually what's holy? by Ren_Saxon | SERIES: 2/2, 33k, E, Complete
The Worst Demon Ever by drunkkenobi | 67k, E, Complete
Shane is so bad at being a demon that he fell in love with his best friend. When he purposefully leaves evidence in an episode of Unsolved, Hell decides to punish him the best way they know how: by going after Ryan.
i stg every time complaints about taylor swift "being mean" go viral I'm just here thinking she should've been meaner. like oh she called the man who sexually harassed her friend a bitch? she politely asked the man who has been harassing her since 2009 and just made revenge porn of her to leave her the fuck alone? she called out someone's one-sided beef with her and noted how obsessed they are with her? she could've slapped each of them and I would've shrugged my shoulders.
Do you recommend any demon!shane fics? (I’d appreciate some without Shyan but knowing the fandom I’d be happy with anything XD) thanks in advance!

In Which Shane is A Fuckin’ Demon, Big Surprise There by WoozleBucket
Here’s the thing about being a literal demon: you can’t let anyone know that you’re a literal demon. You especially can’t let your jumpy best friend know that you’re a literal demon. He has a gun.
So, in the case of Shane the Terribly-Named Demon, he can’t do anything. At all. Literally nothing.
Foolish Mortal by ghostwheeze
(pre-slash so i guess it goes here?)
After a demon encounters a teenage Ryan Bergara on-board the Queen Mary, the spirit decides to follow the entertaining boy around, eventually possessing a vessel to spend even more time with the kid. When they both land their own show where they investigate the paranormal, the demon - Shane - takes glee in watching Ryan try to interact with spirits. If only he knew there was one right next to him.

Hellfire and Brimstone by JayCKx
“I’m a demon, not a hot water bottle. I’m a creature from the underworld. Don’t cuddle me,” he grumbled. Ryan just tightened his grip.
“But you’re so warm,” he mumbled.
Finders Keepers by Writer_Markilyn
Demons were supposed to be the definition of all evil, created from corrupted souls or from Lucifer himself, but Shane Madej begged to differ. He was just a simple demon going on ghost-hunting adventures with his over-the-top supernatural believer best friend, not just for the laughs, but demons like Shane Madej don’t share. Finders keepers and all that.
baby, please don’t be afraid of me by juniperProse
“They had been investigating some supposedly haunted house, and Ryan had spritzed Shane with the holy water jokingly- it was just a joke, supposed to be just a joke, but instead it had burnt Shane, and now- now there was a fucking monster in the room with him.”
Pulse by AutumnisPrime92
Shane is a demon, and that means he can hear things no human can.
The Only Heaven I’ll Be Sent To (Is When I’m Alone With You) by weirdo-ing (TheRealBlackPearl)
(not completed but like,, im obligated to put this here and it’s good as hell)(pearl please update)
Shane doesn’t think that this is a love story. After all, you have to be a human to love.
Nina, cut the crap and give me demon Shane recs pls
Here we go ~
Trust Me by skepticalghouligan
Summary: Ryan Bergara is a devout Catholic in a modern church in LA. They get a new junior priest, a beautiful young man named Shane. But Shane is… Different. He’s addictive, like an amazing drug that Ryan can’t get enough of. When he learns the truth - that Shane is a demon - Lucifer’s son - sent up to corrupt the next great church leader, Ryan has a decision to make - follow the church or follow his heart?
Rated: E
Commentary: I LOVE THIS FANFIC WITH ALL MY HEART. No, but for real– I love the characterization and the worldbuilding, the way it all starts and how Ryan’s character goes through changes until he sees the world different than how he started. It’s amazing.
Also, Shane is the prince of Hell and used to pose as a fucking priest, and I love that.
You read every gojohime fic???? That's amazing!!! What are your favourites?
hello anonie! i guess i can say i’ve read at least a good 80% of all the fics, at least. probably. most likely because the fic tag at the start of the year was tiny and now the community’s grown so much there’s almost 600 of them. that’s insane to me. like hello?
i have a lotta fics that come to mind, that i should honestly make a master post on because i love them all. so here are a few many that came to mind immediately as i typed this up.
gojohime fic recommendations!

limitations by ohmytheon
“Parenthood chooses you," her mother used to tell her, but Utahime never understood that saying more than the moment she realized she was pregnant with Gojo Satoru's child. They were never meant to be something serious - never meant to be more than they were - and yet they both suddenly find themselves in a world that doesn't care about their desires - and that brings them closer in a way that no one else can understand. It won't be easy and it won't be kind to either of them, but it appears as if the universe has other plans for them
no one is what they were before by ohmytheon
The world broke when Gojo Satoru turned on jujutsu society. It's not the hopeful place it was before, but Utahime has never been one to give up. Until she's placed in a dangerous position directly in his path, and she finds herself trapped in a web that doesn't seem intent on ever letting her go.
and touch me like you never by ohmytheon
In public, Gojo is a special grade bastard, especially to Utahime, and has been all their lives. He knows exactly what insults to throw and what buttons to push to drive her up a wall. In private, however, he's got quite a few other things to tell and show her, which only makes things more confusing. It would be easier if she could avoid him entirely, but for some reason, he won't let her go entirely.
gravity by aerfei
This is Utahime, fierce and indomitable, and this is Satoru, who despite holding the world’s regard, still craves something that Utahime has had all her life. Coming together is sometimes an act of desperation, and sometimes a deliberate choice. Or: An Iori Utahime character study, through the lens of her relationship with Gojo Satoru, starting from the beginning and ending at the Goodwill Event arc. Manga spoilers and (at least 95%) canon-compliant through (at least) chapter 135.
count every single leaf in autumn by florieneofthesea
“I told my family we’re dating.” Utahime’s hand hovers over the door. “What?!” (or: Gojo tells his family that he's dating Utahime to get them off his back, so of course they invite her to the dreaded family dinner™)
favourite colour by otherthingsonhold
At 28, Satoru Gojo's responsibilities only start to multiply. With his clan looking to him to lead the family, and the balance of the universe in his hands, Gojo isn't thinking of much else. But when his mother brings something to his attention, the only thing Gojo can do is follow through. But how is Utahime Iori part of all of this?
gojo catoru by ashittywriter
Utahime is tasked to catsit a suspiciously large Persian dollface cat with pristine white hair, the most boop-able nose, and to top it off the cutest cerulean eyes. Too bad the cat also happens to be her idiotic colleague Gojo Satoru.
at the tail-end of spring by florieneofthesea
Utahime doesn't expect to remember her ex's number off by heart but it comes in handy when she's a little less than sober outside a club in a city she's not familiar with and her battery on three percent. She just wishes things turned out differently for them. (Or, post-break up exploration where outer forces refuse to let them have their happy ending.)
a second chance by onewordmore
In another world, it wasn't Geto who sneered down at humanity, regarding them to be worthless monkeys that deserved to die. In another world, it wasn't Geto who openly defied the Jujutsu Council and brought down terror and fear to all. In another world, it wasn't just Amanai Riko who died that day, amidst the cheers and delighted cries of the insane. And Utahime was going to learn, first hand, the consequences of her own death.
from you to me by onewordmore
A drabble series regarding Gojo and Utahime. From fluff to smut to angst to love. This is going to have it all.
oneshots
oceansize by aerfei
The marriage is arranged by their families, small clans both, with all their hopes and traditions laid gently upon the shoulders of their only heirs -- and yet, this distance is impassable.
under the cover of darkness by ohmytheon
It takes a little alcohol, early morning hours, and a game of truth or dare for Gojo and Utahime to admit some difficult truths to each other.
risk/reward by ohmytheon
No punishment had ever been more effective in making Gojo do his actual job than receiving praise from his secretary - or more grueling than when Utahime withheld it.
like a good roommate by ohmytheon
Utahime has a problem: her bed wasn't delivered to the new apartment. Her ridiculous roommate, Gojo, has a solution - but he's kind of panicking on the inside.
aware of us by halspur
“We did alright, didn’t we?” Gojo put his phone down after taking several dozen photos of Tsumiki walking across the stage, his eyes soft. “I mean, we were just kids, too.”
love song by halspur
“Because you’re weak.” Gojo said, muffled into the thin skin of her throat. “I can’t leave you alone.”
tear you apart by halspur
“I don’t want to be mean to you,” Utahime’s cheek was pressed into his spine, her voice muffled. “I like you.”
cuddles are for clean boyfriends by just_trying_my_best_everyday
Utahime finds Gojo Satoru sitting right behind the door, blindfold hanging on his neck, completely soaked in blood and petting her cat with both hands. And he stinks.
honey by florieneofthesea
Gojo Satoru experiences love a decade before he fully realises it.
roots by florieneofthesea
At the start of winter, Utahime starts to cough up blood. She thinks maybe its just the lingering damage from her last mission, but the coughing persists and it starts to scratch her throat, and itch at her lungs and when she finally makes the trip to Tokyo to ask Shoko for her help, she doesn't even get the first word out. Shoko welcomes her at the entrance to Tokyo Metropolitan Technical School and Utahime hacks up a single, pale blue petal, smattered with blood. She stares down at the flora on the ground and wonders if she's been cursed. Utahime looks up, and Shoko's eyes are wide.
to have and to hold by ashittywriter
“M’sorry," Gojo said his voice slurring at the end. "But please go away, I have a girlfriend." Utahime blinked in confusion. What the fuck?
souvenir by PrettyKittyLuvsU
“Aha!” Gojo tugged something out of his pocket, his long fingers curled around it as he held his hand behind his back. His other hand waved before him, a cheeky grin splitting his lips. “Ora, ora! Hold out your hand.” Utahime stared flatly. “Ora, ora!” Gojo persisted, continuing to wave his hand as he grinned. “Hold out your hand already!” Utahime scowled at the hand swaying infront of her face. She had half a mind to slap the man instead, but her students were closely watching. Even Gojo’s students, the second years mainly—for Sukuna’s vessel was apologizing profusely as the brown haired girl continued kicking him while the quiet one made no effort to stop her— looked in fascination at whatever ridiculous souvenir Gojo wanted to hand her. Utahime slowly lifted her arm, already planning on throwing the thing back in Gojo’s annoying face. Gojo gets Utahime a very special kind of souvenir. Set during the start of the Goodwill arc.
