“You’re a Zenin.”
More like an unwanted mistake. Which, funny enough, had actually been the first words she ever heard her father say to her.
-
Kurisaki Rinko was born an unwanted bastard child to the Zenin clan, having since grown into an unwanted bastard adult. Her stubborn refusal to be discarded resulted in a display of strength that many would call (they had, many times to her face, in fact) an unhinged lack of self-preservation. But lucky for her, that unhinged display caught the attention of a particular blue-eyed menace who happens to be more fun to rile up than anyone she’s ever met.

A collection of snapshots into Rinko’s life getting under Gojo’s skin and both of them enjoying every moment of it.

Gojo can be surprisingly soft sometimes*

They both really need a hug, so why don’t they just hug each other

I just wanted to come on here and wish you a happy new year!! I hope you have a great year and stay safe! Just re-read Another Level I love how you characterize Gojo and the others and Ginkos relationship, they’re so cute!
Happy New Year!!
Hello!!
Happy New Year to you as well! Thank you for popping in! It always brightens my day to see sweet messages like these 🥹
My goal with Another Level was to stay as true to the canon characters as I could, and I'm really happy with how it turned out and that they resonated with people who read the series 😊 It's something that I've learned to be really proud of. I also find Goinko's relationship so fucking cute. I've been re-reading small bits and pieces to try to find more inspiration lately, and it reminded me of how much fun I had writing Another Level and their early days dynamic.
Thank you again for your wonderful message and I hope you're doing well!! 💕💕
