Summary
“I don’t want you by my side as my Wit,” Elhokar said. “At least not in that sense of the word.”
Wit hummed. “No? Then whatever other sense could there be?”
“You know what…” Elhokar mumbled.
Wit just raised an eyebrow at him and tilted his head down, bringing their faces impossibly closer. “I don’t think I do. I’m afraid you’re going to have to tell me.”
Elhokar groaned and tilted his head back. “Are you seriously going to make me ask the question? Aren’t I your King?”
“Believe me, Elhokar. You will always be my King.”

You, dear reader, have been transported into your own AU — as Sans.
Just when you’d begun to settle into this new, bone-white life, one small mistake sends everything spiraling.A malfunctioning machine, a flash of blinding light, and suddenly you’re falling through worlds — each one a reflection of stories you once imagined, and others you never dared to write.
Gaster calls it an experiment. Papyrus calls it an accident.
But Sans — your Sans — knows it’s something deeper.Every jump takes you further from home, and closer to the truth behind the tether binding your souls.
Will you find your way back… or lose yourself to the story you created?Whatever happens — the worlds will never be the same now that you are part of them.

Summary
“Perhaps I could help you? When it comes to courting the weretiger lad, that is.”
One might think the following silence coming from Akutagawa was due to him not having heard that by virtue (or fault) of still being way more focused on his own inner musings, but no:
He was pulled back out of his current trail of thought, yes, but he spent a considerable amount of time simply staring at Bram with wide eyes and a slight head tilt, overall forming an expression which could easily contain a million thoughts or none at all. Thus, the verdict was easy, Akutagawa had just been overcome by disbelief. And, just in case there were any doubts, his next words confirmed it.
“Excuse me?”
for sskk week 2025's day 7: free day
bram, with his zero knowledge of modern romance, attempts to be akutagawa's wingman.

Summary
This story is loosely inspired by the song lyrics to Panjabiwala by Habib Wahid and Shireen Jawad.
Kanao Tsuyuri and Tanjirou Kamado were supposed to hang out this upcoming Sunday. Kanao even received two tickets and a free parking voucher for them to go to an art museum together. However, life is full of unexpected surprises, and Tanjirou had to cancel their Sunday plans due to a family emergency. Kanao is not going to let the tickets and parking voucher go to waste, so she ends up asking Genya Shinazugawa last minute if he would like to go with her on Sunday.
According to Genya Shinazugawa, Kanao Tsuyuri could have her pick of men, and yet, it was he she wanted. She could have been with Tanjirou Kamado or Kaigaku Inadama, so why him?
Well, it's not like it's a real proper date, or is it? After all, they are best friends and practically family members due to their respective eldest siblings marrying one another. Perhaps one Sunday at an art museum is all it takes for them to see each other in a new light. Maybe the scheming done by Shinobu Kochou and Shizu Shinazugawa paid off for the best. After all, there's nothing like having your elders play matchmaker and it working out wonderfully!
