Maybe Jiei understands the importance of clothes too well. He first learned of the wild not from the Hunter's Guild, but from a priest draped in pink silkfin and purplefur and iridescent scale. A priest who taught him to hold a bow steady and still, who laughed bright as rainbows through waterfalls. Who would work red foam into his hair. Jiei was born to wear the shed divinity of Izumashi's blind god—red and fierce and clawed—in a different future. Not this one.
Chose not to use archive warnings, unrated. Best boy Jae/Orignal Male Character 2,518 words it's gay monster hunter fanfic. the people who've wanted to see me do original fiction, this is as close as your going to get--other than the setting, this was mostly whole cloth.
i wrote this for me; you can read it too.
