#junkan week

"Want another marshmallow, babes?"

Day 1 of Junkan Week with the prompt "warm"!! What better way to spend an evening than by the fire with your lover? Just ignore the screaming...or don't. They certainly don't seem to mind it.

lovesick:

Mikan's hands were cold. A nurse's hand. Junko Enoshima leaned into them from where they laid across her forehead with a groan, seeking out the relief of heat from her fever addled mind, her skin flushed and uncomfortably warm, even as she shivered. Mikan tutted at whatever temperature she felt there, frowning and pulling away; Junko whined at the loss, and Mikan shushed her gently. “It's okay, Junkie-bear, your Mikan is still here.” She assured, flicking her bangs back before leaving entirely—a part of Junko wanted to grab her hands and pull them back to her forehead, but she felt too weak to even do that. “I'm not leaving, love. Not for anything.” [Junkan Week Side:Hope, Day Six: Comfort.]

weeds:

For a long time, when Mikan panicked, she had no one to comfort her. In fact, she had the opposite- people who seemed determined to making her crying, hyperventilating sobs even more intense. There was a tangible cruelty in her life; people seemed determined to make her hell worse and worse, and there was no love to be found. Until Junko Enoshima. [Junkan Week Side:Despair, Day Six: Panic.]

This day might have some of my favorite works in it! I think these two + yesterday's heaven prompt + tomorrow's hope fill are my favorites. I actually wrote these two in reverse order. The comfort prompt also has my favorite nickname featured in these works: Junkie-bear. I adore overly affectionate, cheesy nicknames. Plus... bear. Horrible, cutesy nicknames are amazing. I wish I put that nickname in EVEN MORE of these works, because that's how you know someone's absolutely lovesick. (Which! Fits for the work a lot, considering the title!) Another thing- this day, the despair fill prompt has the non-abusive dynamic, set in a despair universe... and the hope prompt has the unhealthy dynamic set in a non despair universe. Funny how that works out, huh? It's also .... a bit similar to what I have planned for Me and Ms. Wolf, but... it's different enough I can justify it? Honestly I like how it turned out a fair amount...

"Aw, aren't you sweet, snakecakes?"

Good morning Junkan Nation!!!!! Time for Day 2 with a combo of "Repair" & the Fantasy AU!

Just the repair is from death- To be fair when it comes to love, what's so wrong with some (mega illegal) necromancy?

Also Zombie Junko is incredibly fun to draw- plus my excuse to reference Rotty Tops-

to mend:

“Do you want to talk to them?” Her voice is quiet. Non judgemental, she stares at her with calm acceptance. No matter her answer, Junko will support it. Mikan hesitates, “What do you think I should do?” “That’s up to you,” she assured. “I don’t think Koizumi or Mioda meant to hurt you, at least. If it matters to you, I think they care for you.” “Do they?” she wonders with a wavering voice. “Or does Ibuki only like my body, does Mahiru only like my pitiful?” Junko twitched. “I don’t know,” she answers, “And neither do you. You have to talk to them to get those answers.” Mikan bit at her nail bed, until she could taste blood. Gently, Junko extracted her hand from her mouth. “None of that, Mikan.” she denied. “I’ll be with you the whole time. You won’t have to do it alone.” [Junkan Week Side:Hope, Day Two: Repair.]

to tear:

“I'm sorry, Mikan-senpai.” And she did look it. Guilty, apologetic, as if she was at fault. Mikan faltered, watery eyes lifting up to her. “No, don't apologize,” she murmured, “You thought it, so you said it. There's nothing dishonest about that.” “I wish it was different,” she promised her, “I wish they valued you like I valued you, because you deserve better. But… we have face it. They were using you from the start.” Mikan frowned, once more. Defenses on her tongue, that she swallowed. “Using me…” she echoed, numb and disbelieving. “Were they?” [Junkan Week Side:Despair, Day Two: Crash.]

Day two of Junkan week!! These two works are meant to contrast each other, with the first about mending a toxic friend dynamic with Junko's support, and the second about Junko manipulating Mikan into severing a genuinely positive relationship. Both Junko's are basically opposites: with the first looking out for Mikan genuinely, and the second cloaking her manipulation in words of care.

you say you've changed (well so has she):

“Why did you leave me, Junko?” She doesn't even look like herself. She looks—soft. Pink lips, instead of red. Sweaters where leather should be. Red, pink—those were typical, but not their construction; it made her look like a stranger. She is staring, with wide eyes, something haunted. “Mikan-senpai.” Her voice doesn't even sound the same. There is a stranger where Mikan's lover should be. She is wearing her face; but she is doing it wrong. She is saying her name; but she is saying it wrong. She is looking at her with pleading eyes; but she is looking wrong. “Didn't you say you forgave me?” [Junkan Week Side:Hope, Day Seven: Hope.]

falling:

“Don't you want to fall with me?” [Junkan Week Side:Despair, Day Seven: Despair.]

The last day of Junkan week is finally upon us! I really like what I wrote for the hope prompt, actually. It's based on my old rp blog @junkhope , which... is super old so I don't recommend checking out, but yeah. The despair prompt is shorter than I'd like, but... it did turn out okay, I think.

I had super fun participating in the event this year!!! Thank you so much for hosting it.

unconventional flirtation methods to score you a date! nurses hate it!:

“I'll let you in on a secret, Miki.” She whispered low, leaning in deep. “Ever since I first met ya last week, I've also been watching you.” [Junkan Week Side:Hope, Day Three: Bandages.]

+

(so long as I'm your) favorite toy:

“Does it bother you?” Mukuro asks. Mikan only laughs, as if the question is ridiculous. “Does it bother you?” [Junkan Week Side:Despair, Day Three: Scars.]

Day 3 of Junkan week! First one is super fluffy (though it does talk about self harm as a warning) and the second one is... not that. Second one doesn't actually feature Junko, and instead is a talk between Mukuro and Mikan on Junko. Was originally supposed to be Junko hurting Mikan, to mirror/foil how the first one is Mikan healing Junko, but... hmm. I had writers block on that; hence why it's this instead. I actually think "scars" is one of my favorites I've written - not as much as some of the other ones I've written, but definitely my favorites so far. It's also one where Mukuro shines; she's mentioned periodically during some of the other works, but this is the only one where she probably shows up.

hot chocolate:

“Do you like hot cocoa, Mikan-senpai?” Her eyes are glancing at her inquisitively. Mikan blushed, heat rising to her cheeks from where she sits by the window looking at the snow. “I've never had it,” she admits, to which Junko raised her eyebrows. “Never?” She asks her, before she shakes her head, seemingly coming to the answer herself. “Well, why don't we change that?” [Junkan Week Side:Hope, Day One: Warm.].

(im)perfect victim:

That’s how Future Foundation finds her: hand’s covered in her own blood and laughing. [Junkan Week Side:Despair, Day One: Cold.]

Junkan Week is upon us! I'm doing both the hope and despair prompts for each day, so look forward to 14 Junkan works! Woah boy! For the first hope prompt, we have warm; this work is all about Mikan and Junko sharing hot chocolate together! Very fluffy but does make minor mention of Mikan's past sexual abuse. For the first despair prompt, we have cold! It's a fic about post-Junko's death & FF finding Mikan. So like. Warning for implications of Mikan sewing an unspecified body part of Junko's corpse to herself? Yeesh that's a wild sentence.

I want you, I need you, oh god / don't take these beautiful things that I've got:

Junko Enoshima is Heaven. [Junkan Week Side:Hope, Day Five: Heaven.]

+

let's strike a match and burn it all down, love:

Hell is—well, hell. For demons like Mikan Tsumiki, it was especially so. [Junkan Week Side:Despair, Day Five: Below.]

More works for Junkan week!! First one is definitely one of my favorites that I've written for this week. Second one is.... well I really like it conceptually, but I'm not sold on the implementation? Also warning for my religious followers; the second one is a demon & angel AU which might not be your cup of tea, depending. The first one is simply comparing Mikan's time with Junko to heaven, so like, should be fine for even my religious followers, I think. But the second one might be one some of you may want to skip.

Also I learned my lesson from yesterday and am posting before I go to sleep in the early ams for this post!! Yaaay.
