“Great.” Bob is still staring openly at her—in awe or in terror, or a little bit of both. “So, then, what are we doing?”

“About what?”

“About, uh, Christmas.”

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: 呪術廻戦 | Jujutsu Kaisen (Manga), 呪術廻戦 | Jujutsu Kaisen (Anime) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Gojo Satoru/Iori Utahime Characters: Gojo Satoru, Iori Utahime, Ieiri Shoko, Nanami Kento, Miwa Kasumi, Nishimiya Momo, Zenin Mai, Itadori Yuuji, Kugisaki Nobara Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Much Ado About Nothing Fusion, Kyoto Goodwill Event Arc (Jujutsu Kaisen), POV Alternating, Slice of Life, Denial of Feelings, Emotional Constipation, Misunderstandings, Idiots in Love, Confessions, Introspection, Romantic Comedy, Ensemble Cast Summary:

“I can’t say that I blame Utahime-san, but as a consequence, a very heated quarrel ensued between the two of them this weekend.”

“Quarrel?” Itadori repeats, reaching a hand up to scratch his head. “That’s not really new, right? I still don’t get why something like that would make Gojo-sensei so depressed, though.”

“Itadori-kun.” Nanami pinches the bridge of his nose with one hand and braces the other on his hip. He lets out another long, tired sigh as if he would much prefer to do anything other than continue this unbearably inane conversation. “Often when one is… in love, they tend to behave very abnormally. Perhaps this is caused by an overflow of feelings and emotions beyond their control. And in many cases, one may choose to conceal those feelings in a lot of different ways.”

“I see,” Itadori says, very seriously. And then a moment later, he’s floundering. “Ehhh? Love?! Gojo-sensei—in love—with Utahime-sensei?!”

Tired of their constant bickering, the two jujutsu schools attempt to trick Gojo and Utahime into confessing their real feelings for each other. (A Much Ado About Nothing AU of sorts.)

Chapters: 4/10 Fandom: Kuroko no Basuke | Kuroko's Basketball Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Aomine Daiki/Kuroko Tetsuya, Generation of Miracles & Generation of Miracles, Aomine Daiki & Momoi Satsuki, Aomine Daiki & Kise Ryouta & Momoi Satsuki Characters: Aomine Daiki, Kuroko Tetsuya, Momoi Satsuki, Kise Ryouta, Midorima Shintarou, Murasakibara Atsushi, Akashi Seijuurou, Imayoshi Shouichi, Wakamatsu Kousuke, Kagami Taiga Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Rock Band, Breaking Up & Making Up, Character Study, Therapy, References to Depression, Friendship, Team Dynamics, Music, Slow Burn, Vulnerability, Living Together, Getting Back Together, Flashbacks, Non-Linear Narrative Summary:

A shadow draws itself up by the vending machine. Daiki can sense, without missing a beat, that it’s not Satsuki, or Kise or Midorima. Even now, though he’d never admit it, he thinks he might be able to sense Tetsuya through anything: the chaos backstage right before a show, the haphazard crowd at a music festival, the line at Maji Burger on a Friday night after band rehearsal. And of all the places that Tetsuya could think to disappear in, the empty spot outside the studio with the only vending machine is the least likely.

“Aomine-kun,” Tetsuya greets, “hello.”

A year after their disbandment, famed rock band The Miracles are summoned to perform together again.
