+ shin-ran +
i. angst
it’s best to pretend that she knows nothing - but in each passing hour, his lies chips her apart.
ii. alternative universe
“i’m not asking you, sherry.” the newly-minted fbi agent cocks the gun to their recent captive's temple, “give me her cure now.”
iii. crack
shinichi is seriously fucked when ran learns how many times he had seen her naked. (oi! oi! it’s not my damned fault!)
iv. crossover
the god of death once told a girl-child w/ a five yen coin: may our fates be entwined verily.
now, reincarnated, ages reversed, the woman took his hand as she asks : what is your wish?
v. first time
looking up from the ground, the air still sharp with the scent of rain, his body still thrumming with adrenaline, shinichi (no, conan, i am conan for now) hears the conviction in her answer, those two words i do
(when he regains his body back, he’ll ask again, and hopes to hear the same response)
vi. fluff
he had received enough of her mothering and coddling when he was a kid (yeah, yeah, sort-of), so this time, it’s his turn to make sure she’ll eat.
vii. humor
in teitan high, all students know not to invite kudo-san for karaoke parties during christmas
vii. hurt / comfort
love equates to zero,
shinichi deviates from his calm facade as ran’s flight prompts him to think an argument.
zero is the baseline of life and death, nfr in a dead language, meaning beauty, spoken phonetically as ‘oh’ in the british language, like an exclamation of surprise, a positional notation, the start of arrays, the middle ground in between positives & negatives.
for centuries, the world asked, how nothing can be something?
there is only one truth, and shinichi has found his answer:
the starting point.
“zero is where everything starts.”
ix. smut
it’s hard to hold back, shinichi no longer thinks but moves, as he takes her apart like the logic in his mind, blue eyes on hers, when the threat of death and separation was imminent.
x. unresolved sexual tension
“you don’t have to be a detective,” deduction queen sonoko snipped as her best friend tried to keep her composure, when kudo shinichi suddenly appeared wearing an impressive suit and tie.. “to know that he’s hot.”
i. angst
if there is something he had common to the great detective, it’s that they had the same fear that can be summarized in two words.
(she knows.)
ii. alternative universe
“you have found my jewel,” as inspector aoko (but according to kudo’s intel, her codename is curacao) points the gun at the moonlit thief. “give it to me, if you want to live.”
one day, in the break room, police inspector satou from division one told her that it’s impractical to wear skirts during heists.
officer nakamori only quips that fish-patterned panties are effective against perverted thieves.
iv. crossover
“it’s obvious,” kid stage-whispers to the other detectives as they develop the plan to make rum’s presence known, “that the black org is part of hydra.”
v. first time
“if i fall from this, i am going to grab the nearest thing to whack your head and bakaitooooooooo--!”
(and this is how her first flight went.)
vi. fluff
inspector aoko nakamori didn’t expect the heist note to come with an authentic gelato from france. i don’t challenge you?, the smiling caricature taunted.
(an ice cream date?)
vii. humor
“why do they look so real?” aoko pouts as she pokes on kaito’s breast.
viii. hurt/comfort
“you took everything from me” aoko sobs, holding a blood-stained monocle in her hand.
ix. smut
if the first woman’s tears can grant immortality, kaito muses, brushing those drops away from her eyes as they crash and move together, then aoko’s tears can make a mortal feel infinite.
x. unresolved sexual tension
poker faces are like diamonds, aoko muses, doesn’t allow herself to be fooled with his cat-like grins, with just enough pressure -
his gloved hand hesitates to grab the jewel on the dip in between her breasts.
her hand grabs it, and presses it against her bare skin.
- they crack.
