It's not me you're waiting for Alright, stop waiting It's not me you're waiting for This is where it ends It's not me you're waiting for It's time to let go, time to let it go This is where it ends And if you promise to forget I'll try to find a way to make mistakes

the first to turn away and the outstretched hand

I fought away this desperation I've made attempts to quell temptation I swear to God I tried We could never compromise You could never change me 'Cause we reach for what we're missing in We don't know how to let love in Don't you cry for me Because I'm already dead

(Midtown, "Nothing Is Ever What It Seems")

My favorite Brufugo hot take is that Bucciarati never really had time for relationships, so the only relationship close to romantic was Fugo , They both basically live a relationship like two married people, especially when it was just the two of them in the gang. Fugo certainly realized this and is very happy to have Bucciarati as his husband, While Bucciarati just thinks it's a super normal relationship between a right-hand man and his boss 😭

Pairing: Bruno/Fugo

Rating: Explicit (CNC, please read the tags!)

Word count: 4,724

Summary: Sometimes the things that happen to us have no deeper meaning, and we have to tell ourselves stories to make sense of it all. The terrible and beautiful can coexist.

Or maybe it's more like this: sometimes the people we trust most are the ones best equipped to tear it all down.

WAIT WAIT

What if Fugo goes home after the events of part five and lets himself into Bruno's place? What if he starts doing Bruno's job taking over Polpo's capo responsibilities Bruno was supposed to inherit because well it has to be done (and maybe just maybe it will buy his friends a little time before their betrayal gets noticed but he tries not to think about that)?

Then a strange man with pink hair walks into Bruno's apartment one day and he's not Bruno. Everyone says he is, but Fugo knows he's not. Fugo will prove it. He's watching carefully. He'll catch this "Bruno" in a lie and stop this madness.

It's tough, living with the feelings of your own needs being inherently wrong - Fugo knows that it's not the way to do so, either. But even if he recognises those feelings as completely irrational, he can't stop himself from freezing up whenever he notices his own arousal, and neither can he stop his breath from speeding up, nor the dire need to somehow rid himself of it altogether.

Even as he tries to normalise it to himself in any means he can think of, time and time again, his emotions become too overwhelming far too easily.

To him, Bucciarati is the only person he can trust. It's both reassuring and scary, thinking about how the only person he can trust also has such urges. Such urges as the person who ruined his life, and, sometimes - unfortunately - such urges as his own; so, confronting him about the ryhthic sounds he hears sometimes in the evenings becomes inevitable.

As such, over several evenings, Bruno helps Fugo to slowly ease into his own sexuality and make peace with his feelings, staying patient - no matter how many times it causes him to be mere moments away from the release that keeps building up, forcing himself to ignore it and comfort Fugo to the best of his ability.

In hindsight the appeal of every bruno ship is being a total nerd and charming the cool jock with his three braincells and a million charisma

But for real, Purple Haze Feedback as a book ruined me, I have never been the same since reading it. Like, legit such a good story on its own but it just had to include a ton of Fugo angst and unresolved emotions i am crying on the dancefloor

This was by far my most popular post that even had a decent amount of discourse I deleted from the notes lmao

But yes, a crowning achievement this was, I have never put out this much determination onto any fanart, I’m amazed at what I was doing between 2018 and early 2020 honestly???? Who was this girl and how was she both studying semi-diligently, doing digital art and socializing on discord and twitter (twitter was exciting to use in 2017/2019 ksefsees)

More word vomit from me all the bucciarati ships deeply move me. Obviously, they were a huge hyperfixation for me while I was deep into jjba and I never really had any courage to talk about most of them, which is both funny and sort of sad lol 

I was definitely kind of afraid of getting into any ship discourse, so I largely avoided posting about the especially rare [Bruno] ships. Brugio is definitely still less popular than Giomis or Bruabba in EN fandom, but it definitely had some fans in the tag. Ships like Brunara, Brumis or Bruno/Fugo are super niche and I was beyond shy of messaging literally any of the other five (total) people who shipped these things. It’s also kind of funny how there was enough hate for these ships even though they’re super rare even in JP fandom, oh well. 

Anyway I always liked the idea of everyone crushing on Bruno and it was definitely not because I was projecting my own massive thirst for him lmao
