I'm Sick Of You by Cogni_Diss
Fandoms: 呪術廻戦 | Jujutsu Kaisen (Manga), 呪術廻戦 | Jujutsu Kaisen (Anime)
28 Jun 2022

Summary
“S-Sick.” Yuji weakly spat out, shuddering underneath his poorly constructed cocoon. Sick wasn’t nearly accurate enough to describe what he was experiencing, but opening his mouth to speak was just as bad as hearing it, the sound still reverberating through his skull.
“Sick? The vessel of Ryomen Sukuna does not get sick.”
“I-In pain… Probably d-dying.”
❤ Sukuna's power grows stronger with each finger consumed. So does Yuji's. As time goes on, the line between Sukuna's curse energy and techniques and his vessels begins to blur, leaving the pair to suffer with the unintended side effects.

Curing Boredom by Cogni_Diss

Summary
“Ok, so you need to start by making sure you’re holding the controllers in the correct way…” Sukuna’s control over Yuji’s arms was usurped from underneath him, flipping the controllers around in their shared grip until the brat was satisfied. “You have to hold them like this. Your thumb goes here, and you slide it to make selections. You press these buttons to lock them in. We’ll go over the rest as you go. Luckily this game starts with a tutorial in the opening cutscene so picking up the rest will be easy.”
Cut-scene?
That almost sounded promising.
❤ Sukuna is bored. Yuji is bored. Why not cure that boredom by introducing the curse to something new? Who knows? Video games could be the perfect outlet for all those murderous tendencies of his!

You And Me Against This Curse Called Christmas by Cogni_Diss for yuyukifalls

Summary
“You totally forgot to make plans, haven’t you?”
“Maybe?” Yuji half-admitted, relaxing his shoulders when Sasaki only found amusement in his answer. He then scrambled for a believable explanation. The advertisements made it seem like this upcoming holiday was an activity that required more than one person… “I mean, I thought about it, but I don’t even know if Su— my roommate would be up for participating in celebrations. He’s… occupied. I don’t want to distract him.”
“A roommate you say?” Sasaki stepped unbearably closer. She used her phone to cover her mouth, an all-knowing expression now covers her face as if she’s gained further insight into Yuji’s situation with one single descriptor. “Tell me more.”
❤ To avoid getting caught by sorcerers so soon after his revival, Sukuna and his most loyal follower have to do their best to appear as just another pair of normal humans amongst the populace. This means entertaining the idea of working a minimum wage job and interacting with holidays as they come, with the Christmas being no exception.

They're WHAT!? by Cogni_Diss for Nicini

Summary
“Itadori-kun, how long have you and Sukuna been married?”
A pause.
A moment of silence as the whole world froze for the longest minute of Yuta’s life.
Itadori then blinked, causing Yuta to do the same as the air became awkward to navigate. Yuta thought he may have to repeat himself, but before mustering up the courage to say those words again, Itadori was hacking soda out of his lungs. The first-year reached for his nose, now burning from the liquid that spewed out. The entire display caused his eyes to water and for Yuta to run over to see if Yuji was alright to keep standing lest he passed out in his upperclassman’s arms.
The question wasn’t meant to kill him!
❤ Yuta returns to Jujutsu Tech only to overhear the strangest things.

The Wicked Hold Of Self Corruption by Cogni_Diss

Summary
Ryomen Sukuna did not possess a soul.
This was not a snipe at his amorality, but in fact, a literal observation one could make if they peered deep enough into the depths of his being. No matter how far one ventures into the abyss, no semblance of humanity could be unearthed, coddled, and dragged back to the surface in some piss-poor attempt at redemption or resuscitation of a life once lost.
❤ Instead of going after Megumi when Sukuna took control at the detention center, the curse decided to use his limited time in control a bit differently. What may come of it remains uncertain, but nothing good ever came from the curse's schemes. Especially for Yuji.

Pretend You See Me As The Veil I Wear by Cogni_Diss

Tags
Summary
Hesitant, but ultimately unwilling to witness any more harm to be done through his decisions, his vessel pressed his lips for what he intended to be a small and painless kiss. But Sukuna wouldn’t let him go so quickly. Not when he could easily keep the brat in place and sip the air from his lungs. Part his lips with his tongue and indulge in the sweet taste of his mouth intermixing with the salt dripping down from his eyes.
This act of love was not for him, but Sukuna did not care.

Summary
One would think the brat was unconscious. Or that he was trapped in a trance or a deep sleep that one couldn’t possibly shake him out of. None of those were true, as one glance in his eyes would reveal the faintest of flickers. A flinch. While he may not be able to do much else, the brat was certainly aware of the world around him. That meant he could feel Sukuna’s hand grasping hold of his chin, jerking him up upward, ensuring that he take in the sight Sukuna presented him with.
“Take a look, brat.” Without the ability to fight back or demonstrate an uncharacteristic willingness to obey his orders, Sukuna took it upon himself to slowly turn the boy’s head. Sukuna needed him to see what his actions had brought. He craved it. “You failed.”
❤ Spoilers for Chapter 257.

Summary
“Little one.”
The spider beckoned for their eyes to make contact. Only then would he press his lips over Yuji’s and steal his breath. It was a simple matter of size, with Sukuna able to engulf him entirely if he so desired.
But that would not happen. No matter how Yuji may wish for this nightmare to end, for the fangs taunting him to sink as deep as they would go, the spider would brush the edges of his skin to avoid any risk of crushing his sweet, entangled butterfly.
“We can’t have your wings risk getting torn again, now can we?”
❤ Always hungry. Never satiated. Too enamored with the pathetic butterfly who willingly strayed into a dangerous web. There was no one else to blame for Yuji’s fate but himself.

Summary
All of a sudden, an invisible blade cut through the air, the clouds, and even the stars themselves in one giant sweep to split the cursed finger in two just before it could ever pass through Itadori’s lips. An impossible feat. Such an object was said to be indestructible, as countless sorcerers over the last thousand years had all tested their blades— literal and metaphorical —against any finger that had been unearthed from the scattered set of twenty.
Not even Gojo could destroy those mummified fingers, and he was the strongest sorcerer of them all. So how was Fushiguro able to witness an impossible task be carried out before his eyes?
Crazier still was the array of strikes dicing the beast still grasping Itadori tight. The cursed spirit crumbled beneath him, and based on the baffled look in Itadori’s eyes, Fushiguro could only assume that none of this had been his doing. How could it? Itadori had no cursed energy, which meant that someone else must have—
“Must you always get yourself into trouble, brat?”
❤ Yuji was about to swallow a cursed mummified finger... until he didn't.

A Void No Longer Hollow by Cogni_Diss for XellyChan

15 Feb 2024

Summary
Seventeen years from the very day Sukuna was born into this constricting and depressive world was how long it took to learn that he had not been born alone. A soul unknowingly split in two within their mother’s womb had granted the Ryomen clan’s head the accursed honor of twin heirs to their name and legacy. By some semblance of what one would claim to be mercy, the clan head did not order an immediate execution.
Sukuna proved to be an invaluable asset from the moment he drew his first breath, as his cursed energy plumed into a force that neither his father nor grandfather could compare. His birth, just after his forsaken brother, spared his twin by virtue of his inherent value, while his other half held none intrinsic to himself. To be born without a morsel of cursed energy, denied by the heavens themselves, was the worst sin one could carry within the ancient clans.
Ryomen Sukuna had been blessed.
Itadori Yuji, denied their clan’s very name, had been stricken from the records and buried within non-sorcerer society.
❤ As it turned out, Sukuna wasn't an only child.

Summary
If the obscene pose wasn’t enough, the little hand motion of two fingers Sukuna made to point between his legs with a satisfied grin on his face had gotten the message through Yuji’s head quite clear.
“Screw you.”
“That’s what I've been trying to do to you, but unfortunately, you require baby steps.”
“I—You—” Yuji can feel his cheeks grow an embarrassing shade of red. Covering them with his hand would only make the display worse, so he opted to ball his fingers into fists instead. Did Sukuna find this kind of harassment funny!? And what did he mean by ‘have been?’ “You’re not serious!”
“Oh, but I am. Deadly so. Now,” Sukuna pointed his finger right between Yuji’s eyes, his own pair of piercing red boring a hole through Yuji’s skull. “I could easily leave this school whenever I please. But if I were to be generous and take you with me… I’m going to need to be persuaded.”
❤ Yuji was supposed to be fighting a curse in Sendai. Instead, he wakes up back in high school and is forced to turn to Sukuna for help if he wishes to escape this strange hell he's now trapped within.

Summary
His older brother was the one with the driver’s license. Despite his last shouting match with the old man during their last hospital visit, their grandfather’s car was his to use as he pleased. Yuji would have gone back to see his grandfather and endured his usual lectures and demands for him to be anywhere else if the hospital had better ways to save him from the heat. But alas, it wasn’t meant to be. All Yuji had to relieve himself was a lukewarm shower and his poor desk fan… No. If the sound of a slow, grinding sputter before absolute silence filled the air, then Yuji came to the horrid conclusion that there was no longer a desk fan.
“Just open a window.” Sukuna had said, shrugging off Yuji’s plea for a trip to the store. But the bastard just had to suddenly be ‘frugal with his spending’ and ‘mindful about their energy consumption.’ Both comments were made with a satisfied smirk at the sight of Yuji panting in the living room, shirt torn off and arms spread wide, accepting his fate of a slow and painful death all because not a single wisp of air could be bothered to wind through their house.
❤ Just two brothers forced to survive the summer heatwave.

Summary
“Say, Sukuna, what do you call a fish with no eyes?”
Ah, a classic.
“Blind.”
“FSHHhhhh… Oh.”
The enthusiasm Yuji had for his not-so-original pun had faded all too fast at the man’s deadpan answer. It wasn’t wrong, but it had completely knocked the wind from Yuji’s sails when paired with the cough the man gave when turning his gaze from him completely.
Kugisaki would have laughed at that joke. Fushiguro would have at least had the decency to tell him it wasn’t funny. Somehow, receiving nothing at all had Yuji feeling worse than before he even opened his mouth.
❤ Kugisaki accidentally signs Yuji up for a contest in which the winner gets to cook with the famous chef, Ryomen Sukuna, on his YouTube channel for all the world to see. The odds weren't supposed to be in Yuji's favor, but now here Yuji was, riding the elevator up to Sukuna's film set to get this daunting collaboration started.

Summary
“You’re still missing certain fundamentals and there’s a whole history of theory and application that those sorcerers should have transcribed over the last millennium for the sole purpose of education. Why aren't you being provided those… It’s as if even your daft savior still wants to see you fail.”
Yuji did not take kindly to Sukuna’s insult toward his sensei.
“Oh yeah?” Partially enraged, mostly fed up with the curse’s incessant insulting, the teenager tossed pillows and blankets alike as he shot up from his hideaway to twist his hand over in the light and confront Sukuna directly. “I’d like to see you do any better!”
“Do any better…?” The curse mused, lips pursed on the provocation Yuji hadn’t given any serious thought to. “Is that a challenge? Because I’m inclined to take you up on that, if only to prove my superiority and make you choke on those words, brat.”
What?
❤ Sukuna proves that he's a better instructor than Yuji's sensei ever will be.

Summary
Four shots in total.
Not a single bullet missed, striking through each chest with harrowing accuracy.
Yuji’s hands remained steady, his arms relaxing all too easy after his work was done. Where Sukuna felt his heart beat faster and his lungs work harder to keep up with his increasing need for air—his mind stifling any inkling of his panic as best it could—Yuji’s expression hadn’t changed from the neutral state it’d fallen into until the small pistol was returned to wherever his boyfriend had previously stashed it.
“Are you ok, Suku?”
❤ Everyone had a couple secrets. No matter who they are, there's always something that they work hard to keep hidden. But Sukuna since broken out of that belief when he met Yuji. His boyfriend's an open book. Too honest for his own good.
There really shouldn't have been any secrets between them, and yet...Series

Summary
He couldn’t call out to Sukuna like he used to. Yuji feared he no longer understood the curse, if he ever truly knew him at all. He’d been too naïve for his own good, but when fear was breaking down the last of his walls, all Yuji could do was shuffle toward the curse, one hand tugging on his clothes, and beg for him to reconsider.
“A-Aniki… Don’t go away.”
As soon as the words slipped out between Yuji’s lips, regret took over at the sight of Sukuna’s face. He honestly didn’t know how the curse would react, expecting to be shoved off again as the more likely outcome than the full-body freeze he was witnessing.
The curse’s eyes widened, bewildered by the form of address Yuji had used. It wasn’t like a Yuji could have used his name, and he was still in Fushiguro’s body, which for better or for worse gave him the stature of a teenager… He’d made Sukuna livid, hadn’t he?
This was how his life was going to end.
❤ Yuji gets attacked while alone and turned into a child. His memories are all intact, but no one else needs to know that. Especially when the first person to find him is the curse who abandoned him once already.

“I never had a first kiss.”
"Excuse you!?"
Both Kugisaki and Sukuna, though his words remained internal, shouted at the sound of Yuji’s response, breaking up his classmate's shouting. The pressure of Sukuna’s grip on his phone threatened to shatter the screen. Why was his idiot twin participating in this—Actually, Sukuna knew exactly why his brother would speak up. It was for that reason that he was currently dragging a fed-up hand down his face.
“Well, yeah, I just haven’t had a first kiss. Is it really that weird?”

Summary
Despite his nerves, Yuji’s inborn stubbornness poked through. Refusing to simply roll over and accept what happened next, he prepared to bear his fangs at his attacks and demand the worst. But before his foolish defiance could be realized, something caught his nose. A waft of a familiar scent caused him to scrunch up, only for most of his body to give way upon realizing just who had walked in on such an embarrassing display of control.
An imposing man with features not unlike his own stood over him. With arms crossed, showcasing not only disappointment, but flexing the sheer difference in muscle size between them, Yuji was left to recoil just a bit. The single visible eye glaring down at him, while the other remained absent in shadow behind a few loose strands of hair, did not permit his nerves to ease his nerves completely. A rumble gave way, and the low growl of someone who was not to be angered followed each step as the older hybrid slowly closed the gap between them until there was no space left to breathe in peace.
“Oji-san…”
❤ Yuji lets his instincts take over and goes for a midnight run...

Summary
"Why do you not use the powers I gave you?"
"You gave me powers?" The poor joke was received with not a laugh but a flick on the forehead. Sukuna could do much worse, but he'd rather keep the brat moving as they entered the market district. "Well, you know, there just hasn't been a good time to debut them yet… And punching and kicking comes so naturally! I gotta play to my strengths in a fight, right?"
No amount of mock jabs or chops in the air would convince Sukuna to accept such a lousy excuse. The truth was easier to understand, but that did not equate to Sukuna's acceptance of it. A fighter who suddenly sprouts magical aptitude was not something most adventuring parties could overlook. The powers Yuji gained were not natural either, nor would they manifest in the same way as the innate divine spark of his heritage. The chances of harsh judgment, perhaps not from his direct peers but from the rest of the guild, would be high.
However, who were they to cast said judgment?
❤ Warlock Patron Sukuna wants to get Yuji a gift. Unfortunately, he sucks at gift-giving.
