“I’m sorry sir, but due to current demand we cannot accept any groups smaller than four.” The receptionist’s words echo slightly in the empty karaoke lobby. Kiryu fights the urge to roll his eyes.

“Sorry to eavesdrop, but do you need more people to get a reservation? I think we’re in the same boat.” A man in a tacky bright blue suit appears at the counter. He jerks his head in the direction of the teenage girl standing next to him wearing a powder blue tophat and cape. “If you don’t mind sharing, that is.”

I wrote an Ace Attorney & Yakuza fic four years ago... and I’m just now posting it because it isn’t going to get any more finished. Please give it a read!

Summary: 

Ursula has been counting the days since the ship landed. It’s not exactly the life she imagined for herself, but nothing she could imagine would ever compare to all this. Even so, there’s still something missing. A hole in her chest that keeps aching. Ursula goes back for something she left behind. This time, she's not alone.

posting my yuletide fic here after creator reveals (long after...)

I had a wonderful time writing this for @deadcowboy and they were so kind to submit it to The Rec Center newsletter! I am so flattered, I have never had my work rec'd before 🥹

Okay so imagine this: something catastrophic happens that completely burns through your bank account and you have nothing. So in desperation, you take this long contract from a company halfway across the world and it completely sucks, but at least you’ll get a big bonus for completing the contract that will be enough to fix/help with the catastrophe that took all your money.

You are the farthest you’ve ever been away from home, and there is no quick easy way to go back if you’re homesick (because that would be much easier than going through with this contract). There is only a very expensive ticket for a very long plane ride (which you can’t afford anyways without the company paying for you to relocate when you finish your work), so you have to wait out the length of your contract to get paid the completion bonus.

Two things are absolutely going to happen: number 1, you are going to finish your contract, and number 2, you are going to go back home. Neither of those things were ever in doubt, and nothing can change your mind. You need to go back home, that’s where your life and your family is, your people, so why even bother getting attached to anyone while you’re half a world away.

So you try keeping everyone at arm’s length but it’s hard, people are social creatures, so instead of acting like a cold asshole to everyone you just act normal, if a bit evasive about your personal life.

When you get there the team you are forced to be a part of is just two other people who also don’t really know what they’re doing.

Your new “friends” don't even know you're from half a world away, you didn't tell them, they just think you're the new hire. It’s a little weird you don’t know much of the local culture, and just happen to know a lot about what it's like to live half a world away. And you end up never telling them because it's too hard so you carry this secret inside you like a fire that's burning you up from the inside.

So eventually your team gets a project lead, and she just so happens to have ancestors from where you are from. She’s pretty knowledgeable about your home (even though she gets some things wrong) but is interested to hear more about it from you, and she’s also just so fucking smart and you have so many things in common. She challenges you every day, not just at work but mentally and philosophically and how could you not fall in love with her?

But she’s just a local, the company forced her into the project lead position, and even though she wasn’t really prepared for it the work she’s doing is starting to get recognized and praised by other departments, and the team she has built (which includes you) is accomplishing things no one thought was possible.

So when the project is getting finalized, before it’s completed, you tell her that you can’t be with her, and even worse, you can’t bring yourself to explain the truth of why. You can’t deal with the hard conversations of how to make this work, so you just act like you made a mistake (because you did, you are taking the coward’s way out) and hurt her even more than you would have if you were honest about who you are or what your future plans were from the start.

At the end of the project, at its completion, everyone is celebrating and happy, and you just slip away in the noise because you have to leave. 

The company didn’t even pay you the completion bonus, which was the whole fucking reason you took this contract in the first place, but at least you have enough money now from your regular salary to buy your own ticket back home, even if you have to start from scratch to help them.

Your plane leaves that night, and because you’re halfway across the world you didn’t leave a forwarding address or contact information or anything (you couldn’t bring yourself to share it because that would mean telling the truth). So all they know about you is your name and that you weirdly (to them) know a lot about your home country.

But they wouldn’t be able to find you back home anyways, even if they could get there, because everyone at home just calls you a cruel nickname that stuck from when you were younger.

And you know that the team is confused about why you left so suddenly, without saying goodbye (even to her). But you had to leave, because you have to help with the catastrophe back home. 

Even though it feels like you left a piece of yourself behind.

Rating: Mature Relationships: Todoroki Shouto/Yoarashi Inasa Characters: Todoroki Shouto, Yoarashi Inasa, Todoroki Enji | Endeavor Additional Tags: Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Coming Out, Panic Attacks, Established Relationship, Post-Canon, News Media, Mild Sexual Content, Mild Angst, Mild Fluff, Happy Ending Word Count: 2795

Summary: Inasa drives in silence with a steadying hand on Shouto’s knee, anchoring him all the way back to their apartment. Shouto can’t bring himself to talk, to apologize, and he wants to cry because of his weakness and shame. Inasa is too good for him. But he can’t.

He hasn’t cried since he was six years old and boiling water was thrown in his face.

Shouto tries harder than he should, Endeavor spits in his face, and at the end of the night Inasa comes to get him.
