    Summary

    He looks into a mirror at three and thinks someone else should be looking back. At three and a half, he dreams of bonfires at festivals and sake passed around and Uchiha telling battle tales and comparing scars. At four he looks at the Hokage monument and feels a complicated, bitter feeling churning in his gut.

    At four and a half, he remembers.

    Oh, like it should have been obvious from the beginning and he was a fool for not seeing it earlier. I’m Madara.

    Or: Three people born once before breathe again, bringing with them change and revolution.

    Summary

    Suguru puts on his best kindergarden teacher voice, and bites down the knee-jerk reflex to say, Why the fuck would you do that?  “Why… did you eat it then? If you didn’t know what it was?”

    Itadori shrugs. He’s pondering something serious, in that tiny brain of his. He wrings his hands as he looks up, like he’s still deciding whether Suguru is worth telling. 

    Suguru wouldn’t believe the reasoning from any other kid, because it’s such a stereotypical ‘hand-in-the-cookie-jar’ response; but Itadori’s face is determined, his eyes wide and so, so honest, that Suguru finds himself believing; “It told me to.”

    Summary

    After they came out, Shane was ready for people to be weird.

    It was weird with other guys in the league, weird with reporters, weird with angry fans who thought his relationship had tanked their fantasy teams and their sports betting parlays, weird with sponsors and their very enthusiastic pride campaign pitches, weird on all the social media that he avoided like the plague.

    What he hadn't expected was for things to be so fucking weird with other gay people.

    Summary

    Mai Zenin is, canonically, a bit of a bum.

    Her sole contribution of note is dying in her sister's arms and providing a pretty stacked weapon with which Maki then proceeds to go Kill Bill on the Zenin Clan with. Beautiful fight sequence, but not exactly indicative of a strong fighter or skilled sorcerer.

    This time, however, Mai Zenin remembers another life. She remembers the tragedies of Shibuya and the Culling Game, and by hook, crook, or gun-barrel steel, she's not going to let her family go.

    Or; did you know that [Construction] is actually the most busted-OP technique in JJK? Kenjaku didn't, and now he's dead.

    Summary

    For the record, Ajax was not at all opposed to being sent on missions as another Harbinger's backup. As long as he was given things to fight and the rest of the tasks were not excruciatingly boring to get through, Tartaglia would comply without issues.

    The actual mission, the actual tasks, the actual experience of being the backup was not the issue here.
    The issue was-

    ...He was the only Harbinger being tasked with things like these. The only Harbinger being designated as backup. The only Harbinger being treated like a class below the rest.

    (Because Tartaglia was rash and reckless and could not be trusted to keep himself safe.
    Tartaglia was to be looked after like an unpredictable rabid animal that only behaved under certain conditions.

    Tartaglia was off.)

    ---

    Or, Childe struggles to understand why the Tsaritsa insists on treating him differently from the other Harbingers, and tries to pretend like his affiliations aren't irrevocably shifting towards the mysterious god he meets in Liyue.
