still obsessed with the idea of doing maintenance on a robot for nonsexual reasons and they learn the hard way that it feels like realllly good and they have to spend the whole time trembling and whimpering trying not to cum while you mistakenly assume its from pain and thus gently coo at them telling them its ok, i know it hurts but itll be over soon, youre doing so so well, youre being so well behaved for me

My mom likes to tell me about how when I was a little kid riding public transport with her I'd always smile and giggle and chat with weird old ladies who smelled like cat pee and homeless folks and strangers dressed in bizarre outfits but any time a tidy and respectable businessman in a suit and tie waved at me I'd immediately clam up, and she takes a great deal of pride in my supposed inherentability to clock personalities but the truth is I do vaguely remember those bus rides, and it was never about the clothes or the hair or the smell, but more because everyone "strange" asked interesting questions and listened to what I had to say and seemed to think about what I said while the neat and tidy and rigid folks only ever acted like they were going through the motions, which was boring as hell and also pretty annoying

Well-to-do finance manager with tidy shoes: "Why hello, sweetheart. Can you say 'hi'? Aren't you cute. Are you on a trip with your mom?"

4 year old me: why must we do this

Fantastic old woman in the leopard print coat: "Why yes, my tooth IS real silver! Nobody ever asks me that. Do you like cats?"

4 year old me, suddenly paying attention: Finally, A Person Of Intellect

Yuu da goat

[distant-screaming]

even if you just see everything in 'my new boss is goofy' as purely platonic it's like. it makes being open and soft and genuine so simple. they hold hands, they cry, they buy stuffed animals, they get scared in haunted houses, they quit shitty jobs because their boss sucks and don't just 'tough it out' and suffer genuine trauma, they cook... the way it just very gently and quietly deconstructs the typical 'masculine' stereotypes means the absolute world to me? I love it so much. ten hakutous out of ten.

The Long-Awaited Natsume Yuujinchou Fic Rec List

A while ago, I tumbled down the Natsyuu rabbit hole (again) and promised to pull all the best fics I was reading into a rec list. And then I completely forgot to hit publish. Very sorry for the long wait, but here it finally it is, in no particular order.

put your empty hands in mine by taizi

Kitamoto and Nishimura are soulmates, to absolutely no one's surprise.

But they're also soulmates with a very shy boy who lives somewhere far away, who writes to them in tiny, careful letters right before bed, who apologizes when the mimicry of bruises pop up on their arms and backs because of him.

And that's a surprise to a lot of people.

[image: A boy, maybe fourteen, stands on the porch of the Fujiwara household in a brand new school uniform. Slung over one shoulder is an old but well-loved leather messenger bag. In his hand is a brightly wrapped bento. The boy, although smiling, looks nervous.]

(or: Natsume learns to use a cell phone, text people back, call people first, and take pictures of his friends)

for a moment i was warm by taizi

It’s a cold day in Yatsuhara. Nyanko-sensei scoffs when Natsume says as much.

“You’re too human if the weather still bothers you.”

Natsume frowns. That’s a strange thing to joke about.

So few come and don't go by taizi

Natsume is happy. Tanuma doesn't know why he doesn't feel satisfied with that.

jars and jars of jam by adventureboots

“Your parents do realize I am a grown man and not, in fact, a college bachelor in need of feeding, right?” Shuuichi asks, cradling the rice like it’s a child and politely ignoring the strange emotional acrobatics Natsume’s face performs on the word parents. “I can and do feed myself. On a daily basis, even.”

Natsume stares at him, unreadable. Natsume’s monster cat peeks over his shoulder, ears flat and judgmental. Even Hiiragi, lurking in the kitchen, levels him with her unblinking one-eyed stare.

Never Lag Behind by Sarashina_Nikki

Natsume napping on his desk was a common sight, one that everyone in class C had long since grown used to. (Although the teachers seemed to find it less and less amusing as time wore on.)

So the castle that we built won't cave by taizi

The last time he remembers feeling this protective was probably back on the day he and Kitamoto taught Natsume how to ride a bicycle, those pleasant hours of late afternoon that swept by so fast. He had been unprepared for how thin Natsume’s shoulders would be, how fragile his back would feel under Nishimura’s hands.

The Perfect Team by Badwolf36

Touko Fujiwara is not a woman who gets easily flustered.

But she has to admit that she gets a bit nervous when Nyankichi streaks down the stairs into the living room where she’s sitting with Shigeru, the golden bell on his red collar jangling wildly.

the smallest things by taizi

In which Takashi comes into the Fujiwaras' lives much earlier on.

Only the monsters we make by taizi

Kitamoto thinks Natsume’s cat is probably a much better judge of character than Natsume is – the cat will take a vicious swipe at anyone who tries to hurt it, after all, while Natsume will close his eyes and forgive.

The Four Noble Truths by versaphile

After Takashi opens up to his family and friends, life for him and Kaname has never been better. But as graduation looms, their futures are uncertain. They visit nearby Kumamoto to see the universities and Natori-san, but following in Reiko’s footsteps reveals old pain and new peril.

A post-Reveal adventure featuring Natsume and Tanuma, the Fujiwaras being the best, the Horrible Exorcists being only sometimes the worst, the impending end of the Book of Friends, the dangers of feeling bad things for too long, and Nyanko-sensei having to do all the work around here.

Little By Little by versaphile

When the Fujiwaras planned to ask Takashi to live with them, they didn’t expect to do it from a hospital bed. When Takashi’s previous guardians abandon him, Touko and Shigeru do their best to pick up the pieces, and learn how to care for a damaged boy who isn’t even sure if they’re real.

The first month of Takashi’s life with the Fujiwaras, from Touko’s perspective.

Deserving by kuragay

Takashi skips meals. It's not on purpose, but it becomes a habit nonetheless.

The first time it happens, Takashi’s eight, and he’s too afraid to go out of his room for dinner because that would mean having to interact with the family who’s just taken him in, and they’re scary.

Then and Now by riventhorn

Things are different now that Natsume lives with Touko and Shigeru.

I hate that when you’re stressed enough your body just starts falling apart. I think it should realize you’re already stressed and don’t need that and start functioning better actually

The Watermelon Woman (1996) dir. Cheryl Dunye

[seeveekat]

Hey this movie is really important in queer history! It was the first feature length film directed by a black lesbian! You can watch it here for free!

I really recommend you do because while it is a rom-com (and a drama), it also looks at how the stories of black queers are over looked in history.

grief and love and something in-between

[miss-choco-chips]

Since I just exposed myself in my platonic AO3 preferences for Suo, and i found out a lot more people than I thought agreed with me on how delicious the omega suo au would be, let me continue exposing myself about ships now

While SuNi has a special place in my heart, and SuNiSa are soulmate coded and basically legally married in my heart, my shippy heart always looks at SuoSaku fics first and foremost. It's almost second nature at this point. I saw Suo ragebaiting Sakura before even introducing himself, noticed their different yet complementary fighting styles and I was like 'yup. This is now my main ship in this show.' which is not to say I don't ship other couples (although ALL my wbk ships include Suo because he's my favorite), but I just vibe with suosaku more

That being said!!!

I'd love if there were more fics where Sakura tops. Or he's the alpha. Or the more assertive one. Not that I don't adore when suo pines and suffers and basically simps for Sakura, no, I LOVE those fics

But I just think their dynamic presents itself so easily for top saku bottom suo. Like, Suo ragebaiting Sakura into finding new and creative ways to shutting him up. Suo who's always in control and almost anal in his beliefs and self restraints. I'd love him to be MADE to let lose. Let this man have a heat and make him rely on others.

And Sakura, who's used to never having anything he can call his own (family, friends, material possessions, NOTHING), and slowly but surely getting that in Furin, finding this newfound desire within himself he never thought he could have; the itch, the urge to have some one. And not just anyone, but the most mysterious, detached, out of reach person he knows. Oh to be able to touch the untouchable, to be the only one to know the unknown.

Also, and this is specific to scratch the aob itch, I think it'd be hilarious and sooooo sweet if Suo baits and teases Sakura into scent marking him, even trying to make him jealous/possessive enough that he caves into the urge, bypassing his usual hang ups of 'i don't deserve this particular brand of love and care'. And Sakura FINALLY does mark Suo and despite the fact that he undoubtedly blushes about it, the one most affected is SUO himself. He never thought Sakura would truly do it. He wasn't prepared to get this far.

And Sakura would be FASCINATED by the fact that he can actually affect Suo like this. Suo blushing? He didn't know Suo could do that. After being mercilessly teased and baited by Suo since they met, I bet Sakura would find this as exhilarating as winning an all out brawl.
