Summary
Are we living a life that is safe from harm? Of course not. We never are. But that is not the right question. The question is: are we living a life that is worth the harm?
Kaneki Ken loves medicine.
He loves his father's old textbooks. He loves the colorful anatomy diagrams. He loves the rhythm of scientific articles, the shape of words like 'fossa' and 'muscular dystrophy'. The research projects/work shifts/studying/crying don't leave time for Kafka, but those books were for creepy little orphans, anyway. Which he isn't anymore, because he's not a kid anymore, because soon, he'll never be that kid again.
The world is hurt or be hurt. It is better to be hurt than to hurt others. But to be a doctor is to heal hurts without hurting yourself. To be a doctor is to be free.
Kaneki Ken is growing up. Kaneki Ken is moving on. Kaneki Ken will become a doctor or die trying, because hope is a thing with teeth and he'd bite through his tongue before going hungry ever again. And god help anyone who gets in his way.
aka: an au in which kaneki ken is premed instead of a lit major, with mixed but (ultimately) uplifting results
cw: suicidal ideation.

Summary
Sakura Haruka has been straddling two worlds from the day he was born- the child of a bakeneko mother and a human father, left to fend for himself in a world that's hostile to both parts of him. He's never really had a place to belong-
-at least, not until he arrives in Makochi.
(or: local bakeneko gets adopted by the entire town- and learns to love himself in the process.)

Summary
Togame’s slow languid movements give Haruka plenty of time to register what’s happening, if not why: Togame slides an arm casually, slowly, around Haruka’s shoulders. He pulls him in a little, a gentle squeeze. Haruka gasps, the fabric of Togame’s shirt fluttering in front of him. The hand slides up from Haruka’s shoulders and into his hair, tousling it gently.
Then the whole process happens in reverse, just as slowly: his hand slides down, back, and Togame leans away, smiling contentedly like nothing strange just happened.
Haruka finds himself getting closer to Togame. Mostly literally.
