    Summary

    For a second, just a second, she thought she heard Mai’s voice, sharp and annoyed, telling her she was tracking blood everywhere. The thought hit like a misstep on a staircase. Her chest tightened. She swallowed and pressed her tongue to the roof of her mouth until the feeling passed.

    Somewhere down the hall, footsteps echoed that were familiar. She recognized the rhythm without thinking about it, the way someone might recognize the weight of someone’s cursed energy even when they were trying to keep it light. They slowed as they passed her door.

    The door slid open.

    “Y’know,” Gojo said, voice light, “there are way more subtle ways to announce you’ve wiped out a whole dang clan.”

    Maki didn’t look away from the wall. She could practically hear the smile in the idiot’s voice.

    “That being said, you accidentally tracked blood into the building… so,”

    Oh.

    There was a pause behind her. The door slid shut.

    After the fall of the Zen’in clan, Maki returns to Jujutsu High for a slow evening with her teachers.

    Summary

    Welt huffed, “What can we even do about it? We’re not their parents, Himeko.” He gently reminded her.

    “But we’re all they have,” She insisted, taking her cup of coffee and bringing it up to her lips, “What else can we do other than try to be there for them?”

    Another sigh, “I… I guess so. I suppose there is no harm in hugging them every once in a while.”

    Himeko let out a giggle, “Ah, Welt, you act as if you don’t adore those three. You and I know that you love them as if they were your own.”

    Four times Himeko and Welt noticed something was wrong with the other members of the Astral Express, and how they helped them feel a bit more at ease.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry, Megs,” Satoru sounded exhausted as he whispered, his voice barely louder than a breath. “I’m really trying.” He cooed weakly, his voice breaking ever so slightly.

    Megumi answered with a small cry, weakened by fatigue and a desperate desire to sleep. His tiny hands clutched at Satoru’s shirt, the fabric damp with a mix of drool and tears.

    “What am I doing wrong, kiddo? Please, I wanna be the one to help you, but I don’t know.” His voice was so devastatingly broken and unlike him. “I just don’t know.”

    Back in the living room, the others exchanged concerned glances, despite how quiet Satoru tried to be. They could hear the faint murmurs from the bedroom, the soft, broken cadence of Satoru’s voice. It was a stark contrast to the confident tone they were used to.

    Satoru adopted Megumi when he was just a baby. One night, Megumi is fussy and can't stop crying. But his friends are there to help him, no matter how much Satoru is convinced he can do it alone.

    Summary

    “What time is it?” Megumi's voice, barely a whisper, broke the stillness of the room.

    A low murmur, accompanied by the soft glow of a phone screen, filled the space, “It’s nearing 4 o’clock.” Came the reply, each word laced with a mixture of concern and understanding.

    He sighed, burrowing his face deeper into the pillow that was clutched in his arms. He didn’t have enough energy to feel embarrassed about it. “‘M sorry,” He muttered.

    A familiar voice grew closer to him, a strong and slim hand coming to rest gently on his messy hair, “There’s nothing to apologize for, Megs.” The voice responded, its soothing tone a bandage to his tired soul.

    Megumi can't find the mental strength to get out of bed. His teachers check up on him.

    Summary

    “I don’t care! I don’t care! I don’t CARE!” Megumi’s words erupted like a volcano, his frustration boiling over into tears as he stomped his feet. Satoru was so sad he hadn’t even realized Megumi didn’t want to hear him talk about his death. It was sad and Megumi wanted it to stop.

    “I just wanna talk to you about cool stuff! Like, like, Digimon and the cartoons we watch! I wanna talk about my Cursed Technique and going to Jujutsu High! I don’t wanna hear about how he killed you! I don’t care!” His voice cracked with emotion, the weight of his words hanging heavy in the air.

    He cried because Satoru wasn’t able to when he should’ve been allowed to.

    It wasn’t fair.

    “W–What are you talking about? What cool stuff, I–?”

    “I just wanna talk to you about Hydreigon, but you won’t listen to me! Just listen to me, stop talking about how you died! Just stop, stop!” He sobbed out, his fingers digging into his palm as he angrily stared up at his shocked guardian.

    Megumi gets a new Pokemon card and all he wants to do is show his guardian. But with his death anniversary coming up, Gojo is stuck in the past and can't seem to understand.

    Summary

    “You know, I always hated the rain. I hated how every time I felt it, it reminded me that I was vulnerable. Vulnerable without my Infinity, vulnerable because I was weak from him, and because I was…” Satoru's voice trailed off, pausing for a quick and heavy moment. “I was without you.”

    “And trust me, I was thrilled to know you were leaving to better yourself, really.” He said, walking closer to him as if a magnet was forcing him closer and closer and Suguru hoped the force would never stop, “But my God… I wanted you back as soon as I saw your plane leave. I just…”

    “I just can’t imagine a day where I don’t want you.” He finally said, throwing his arms in the air and letting them drop back down in a gesture of surrender. “I’m in love with you. I never stopped.”

    How Gojo and Geto finally confessed their love after 10 years of being broken up, and the steps it took to get there (with the 'help' of their meddling friends and students).

    Summary

    "SHUT UP!” Maki finally let out, holding her polearm out, her left leg being pulled back to balance herself, “Stop talking, and just fight me!”

    “No,” Suguru continued to speak calmly, which did nothing but anger her more. “Please, just explain to me what’s wrong, and we can figure this out–”

    With a scowl, she dropped her arm. “Wow.” She said softly, scoffing as she started to turn around, keeping her gaze on him.

    “I thought you would’ve loved to fight a curse-less monkey like me.” She spat out.

    With that, she threw her polearm in front of his feet, watching the white feather turn brown from the mud. Glancing up, Suguru’s expression turned into one of realization and hurt. Some part of her was glad. At least he looked how she felt.

    She didn’t turn back around as she walked away and pretended that Suguru remaining quiet didn’t hurt her as much as it did.

    Maki finds out that her favourite teacher Geto used to not like non-sorcerers.

    Summary

    Carefully, Megumi reached up, grabbing two in his hands and pulling them out. The first book in his hands seemed to have years of dust piled up on it. Wincing, he blew it away with his free hand, cringing at the dust that flew off it.

    The green book’s gold title revealed itself and he read it with confusion.

    The Inflationary Universe: The Quest For A New Theory Of Cosmic Origins by Alan Guth

    “What…?” He mumbled to himself. The other book he managed to pick up was grey. He did the same, blowing the dust off and reading the title with confusion that was slowly beginning to turn into curiosity.

    General Relativity: The Curvature of Spacetime. Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Tohoku University

    The curiosity he previously harboured began to bubble up more. He didn’t know Satoru attended University. If he did, why was he so interested in physics? Did he even have a degree?

    When Megumi is alone in Gojo's room for a bit, he gets curious and starts snooping around in his bookshelf. He didn't realize how little he knew about his guardian.

    Summary

    “I said, wait!” Satoru repeated, his voice tinged with concern as he finally reached her side.

    His hand found her shoulder, applying the slightest pressure in an attempt to gather her attention. But before he could say another word, a shout pierced through the air, shattering the tense silence of the room.

    “DON’T TOUCH ME!” Nobara screamed, her voice filled with raw fear and anguish, as she recoiled from Satoru’s touch, her eyes wild with panic.

    Like a reflex, his Infinity surged to life, the barrier forming around him in a desperate attempt to shield himself from whatever harm he’d done to his student.

    “I-” Satoru hesitated, his voice trembling with guilt and remorse. “Sorry, I didn't mean to-”

    But before he could finish his sentence, Nobara cut in, her words strained and choked with emotion. “My arm hurts,” She confessed, her voice breaking as tears welled up in her eyes. “My arm hurts but it also doesn’t hurt and I feel like I’m going to die.”

    After the Death Painting Arc, Nobara feels weird phantom pain on her left side. Satoru can't help but worry for her but also understand.

    Summary

    Osamu frowned. He scanned the dimly lit space, searching for any sign of his brother, but the quiet persisted.

    When he finally looked down, the sight awaiting him was not his brother.

    It was a German Shepherd.

    It was a small, frail creature, clearly scared in the unfamiliar surroundings of the restaurant but was probably drawn in by the lights. Osamu felt a surge of empathy, a strong desire to help and protect the vulnerable being that had found its way into his space.

    He didn’t know much about caring for dogs.

    But he knew someone who did.

    His chest was still tight.

    Osamu is trying to ignore the fact today is his anniversary with his ex-boyfriend, Rintarou, even if Atsumu won't stop bringing it up. But he can't stop thinking about it, especially since a stray dog wandered into his restaurant.

    Maybe this is a good excuse to hit him up.

    Summary

    “If you’re here on some mission the Higher-Ups gave you,” Hakari interrupted, raising the can, “Then you can take your leave now. We’re not interested.”

    Suguru couldn’t help but snort at that, while Satoru rolled his eyes. He leaned over and placed his elbows on his knees, “ I just came here to talk to you guys.”

    “What do you wanna talk about? Weird to have the Strongest Duo here at Gachinko. And I doubt you’re here to participate in the fight club.” Hakari asked.

    Satoru sighed, his fingers reaching up to play with the edge of his blindfold. Embarrassment began to creep up his throat, “I… wanted to apologize.”

    The room seemed to freeze for a moment. Both the ex-students' faces contorted into something of confusion and slight curiosity. It wasn’t often the strongest jujutsu sorcerers of modern history would travel all the way to apologize in person.

    “Apologize for what?”

    Satoru apologizes to Hakari and Kirara for not being the good teacher he should've been for them.

    Summary

    “So, whales breach,” Megumi repeated, his voice barely over the volume of a whisper, “And then what?”

    Satoru's distant gaze towards him shifted. There was a flicker of something unreadable in his expression. “They turn in the air. They turn so that their blowhole is facing away from the surface. So they won't be able to breathe,” He continued, the words landing in the room with a weight that seemed to press against the walls. “It stops them from trying to continue to live.”

    Megumi pushed a choke back down his throat, “So, it’s suicide?”

    Satoru hummed, his response carrying a certain resignation. “Nah, not really. It’s not suicide when they know they’ll die regardless, you know?”

    No, Megumi didn’t know.

    He wasn’t sure if he wanted to know.

    So he didn’t ask.

    Satoru finds out a fact about whales and how they die, so he tells Megumi. He also can't help but wonder if dying was always this painful.

    Summary

    “I must understand what exactly?” Shoko interjected. She turned around, fixing a piercing gaze on the sitting silhouettes of the old men, her eyes reflecting resentment. The room seemed to tighten and thicken with tension.

    "Kill a 16-year-old? Kill a child? On what grounds? Because even if he is causing no harm at the moment, he will in the future?” She demanded incredulously. The disapproval and defiance in her voice were palpable.

    “You must understand!” The booming voice returned and argued. Shoko groaned quietly. She took another quick and angry drag, running her tongue along her teeth. As the stalemate began, Shoko's thoughts raced. She couldn't fathom the cruelty of the request, the disregard with which the Higher-Ups were treating the lives of her students.

    Shoko's been summoned by the Higher-Ups regarding Yuuji's continued existence.

    Summary

    Satoru smiled, “I mean, it worked out fine, right? I doubt they understand anything I teach them anyway. They deserve some time to themselves.”

    “It’s Tuesday. They still need to graduate with a high school diploma at the minimum.” Suguru countered.

    Satoru lowered his face, his bright blue eyes looking at him with an unusually serious expression on, “Nobara hasn’t been sleeping properly.” Suguru snuck a glance over at her. It was easy to make out the darkening skin under her eyes and the slight drowsiness of her movements. “We can always fake a diploma or whatever. I doubt any of them will end up deciding to leave in the future. What’s important is that they understand basic self-care now. Or they never will.”

    Suguru bit his lip, nodding solemnly, “I suppose. I just don’t want them to be behind and-”

    A grounding hand placed itself on Suguru’s back, gently rubbing up and down, “They won’t be. You know all of us won’t allow it.”

    3 times the students fell asleep around their teachers, and the 1 time the teachers fell asleep around their students.

    Summary

    Geto smiled sadly, “Hi Yuuji,” He glanced at his cheek, noticing Sukuna before leaning down, “What happened?”

    Yuuji shrugged, “Had to eat another finger today,”

    Geto nodded, “Mhm, and?”

    “Didn’t like it. Made my throat hurt since I wasn’t-” He waved his arms around, “Excited and all that,”

    “Do you mean full of adrenaline, like the first time?” He asked.

    “Yeah, that. Since I was just sitting in a room with Gojo-sensei I felt, like, everything. And then after training, I tried to sleep but,” He nodded towards the toilet, “That happened.”

    Geto nodded in sympathy. Yuuji had a feeling he knew what it felt like. He had to swallow Curses every single day. For years.

    Yuuji has to swallow another of Sukuna's fingers. This time, he throws up and calls his teacher to help him.

    Summary

    “That wasn’t your fault.” Satoru interrupted and appeared in front of her, his hands resting on her knees gently as he crouched down. “You did what you could and thankfully you’re all alright now.”

    Nobara shook her head, “No! If I wasn’t so stupid I could’ve helped more. I’m so weak, I can’t stand it!” She pushed her hair back aggressively with her good arm, her hand wrapped tightly around the strands as she glared up at the ceiling, “Fucking Ten Shadows and Sukuna’s Vessel… What the fuck am I compared to them?”

    The room was quiet of shock. Suguru, who was about to move to make her release her grip on her hair, remained in his spot, staring at his student with a look of uneasiness. Satoru gripped her knees harder, biting the inside of his cheek.

    Shoko felt a wave of deja vu wash through her.

    Shoko realizes that Nobara tends to walk into her office without knocking and thinks back to the day it all started. She also realizes she has accidentally taken on a parental role.

    Summary

    “Ieiri-sensei?”

    Shoko sighed.

    “Yes?”

    Yuuji lifted his right arm, stroking his chin between his thumb and index in genuine thought.

    Oh boy.

    “Is this a sleepover?”

    Oh BOY.

    “You’re in my office being treated for bruised ribs,” Shoko replied as much as she didn’t want to. She made eye contact with him, “This is not a sleepover.”

    “But we’re hanging out, aren’t we?” Yuuji asked, and Shoko almost revisited her previous idea of banging her head against the table.

    Shoko has spent the last 13 years of her life trying to wrap her head around the fact she's somehow still alive. Now, she's trying to wrap her head around the fact that Sukuna's vessel thinks his trip to her office is a sleepover.

    Summary

    But amongst all of his curses, he had a favourite. His favourite was one his friends would always beg to bring out. They loved her, always trying to feed her despite her non-existent organs or need to eat. She was huge, almost the size of a plane and would bring him comfort like a pet would. Her purring always calmed him down and managed to relax him like no other. He usually forgot she was an actual curse.

    Rainbow Dragon.

    Just the thought of her brought a string of warmth and nostalgia through him. It made him itch to bring her out despite his inability to.

    She was dead.

    Exorcised.

    Or so he thought. With Suguru’s return to Jujutsu High as a teacher, he begins feeling a tug towards a room he has yet to visit. The last thing he expected was a long-lost dead friend he missed dearly.

    Summary

    “Everything about you is complicated… That’s why I’m with you ,” Albedo said quietly, his body warming at the feeling of familiar lips across his hands and skin. “I’m an alchemist, for Gods’ sakes, I find your complications interesting. That’s not a valid reason for me to not know. You and I both know and are aware of that.”

    “I don’t want to bring up things that should stay in the past,” Kaeya grumbled, gently letting go of his hand to pick up another berry.

    “You and I are both beings that should have stayed in the past ,” Albedo stressed gently, watching as Kaeya looked back down at the array of food, zoning out for a quick and quiet moment. “That doesn’t mean anything. Not to us at least. What happened in Sumeru?” He pushed.

    After the events of the Caribert Archon Quest, Kaeya returns to Mondstadt and goes on a picnic with Albedo. Some new information he's received happens to be the main point of discussion.

    Summary

    “Is your allegiance and heart with Khaenri’ah?”

    “No, it lays with Mondstadt.”

    “So then, what are you worried about? Are they coming to bring you back as their…”

    “Their prince?” Kaeya finished the sentence for him, “No… I don’t believe they are anytime soon.”

    A strange pause in their conversation made Kaeya want to burst out in laughter in relief. How anti-climatic.

    An alternate universe where Kaeya and Diluc never fought or had a falling-out. Their story of being brothers and happy... Until Kaeya's past decides to catch up with him and he finds himself scared for his own safety, as well as the future of Mondstadt.

    As Diluc discovers there's more to his brother's past than he thinks, he finds himself befriending a Fatui Harbinger to help them out.
