    All it takes to ruin the careful equilibrium of a non-relationship is a handmade cup, a pixelated screenshot, and Megumi's family.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Here is a little spoiler when it comes to being in love with someone: You are always at the beginning.
    And, if you are very, very lucky, you will forever continue to always be at the beginning.

    I’m made up of the people who care for me. I’m me because of the little and big things that people do for me. I’m the way I am because there are people that make my life worth living the way I do.

    And right now, I’m thinking—if anyone can figure it out, if anyone has figured out a way to build a moment, a feeling, into a place meant for coming home, it’s you. It doesn’t matter if it’s a coffeemaker or borrowed keys to your apartment or your arms. It’s you.

    Love as an emotion comes easily when it’s right; love as an act, though—that requires understanding. Before communication, before talking about anything, it’s not so much loving that you have to have figured out as it is understanding. Yourself, what you want, where you want to be with the other person. All that before you can understand them. And then you have to make the call: do we have enough me right now to be an us? Because what good are the words you’re saying, the things you’re articulating, the declarations you’re making, when you’re not even seeing eye to eye with your own thoughts?

    It’s like—Like there’s a thread that connects you guys, except you were the one who tied it between yourselves. That’s love, right, the ability to make that thread? A kind of superpowered ability? Magic, maybe?

    Love, maybe, even after all this time. And if not that, love before love. Because that might have always been the foundation of what they are: the loving before loving, the inevitability of falling in love, the rightness of being together and being there for each other. Except with and on purpose this time, even more by choice than it already was before.

    And maybe that’s the strange and beautiful part. Love plus time. Like making bread, or planting flowers before the first frost to wait for the joy of seeing them bloom in late spring.
    What is love over years and years, I thought, if not finding your way back to the strangeness and beauty of being remade, as yourselves and as the parts of you that love the other person? What is love if not a neverending beginning?

    You’re everything I want to be good for.

    jeez holy wow the most beautiful testimony to love ever made

    Summary

    “Leaf mustard?”

    Megumi huffs a half-hearted laugh: “Well, let’s see: I owe my life to the very same guy I might have to execute someday, who is also possessed by the strongest curse known to man. And I’m in love with him.”

    Inumaki thinks about this and concludes that his advice probably wouldn’t be all that helpful even if he could use the right words. So, instead, he settles for what he knows, and with a dramatic exhale, says, “... Kelp.”

    “Couldn’t have said it better myself, man.”

    or: Megumi thinks about love & how he got here.

    no, he finds himself in love with yuuji when he admits to megumi that he is afraid; that he is here, at the doorstep of hell, his fist poised to knock against death’s door with a smile and a cheap bottle of wine for a housewarming gift, not despite his fear but because of his fear.

    for the love of god. the title, this wonderful megumi characterization, the inumaki scene at the end. i really could go on and on about how i believe that this is the PERFECT megumi characterization. he's perfectly in tune with his feelings. i can Tell. and yuuuuuji he didnt have dialogue but the way megumi described him was so fskdjwoufwhfwf anyway i dont have coherent words about this just i love itafushi

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Ask him what happens first: the unexpected arrival of a new kind of fear, or the thrill. The bizarre choked-up immensity of realizing you've opened up a space for rent, and someone has moved in.
    Go on, ask him. He’s waiting.

    __

    Summary

    Hawks panics. "Okay, alright, jeez, you caught me, I..." Hawks hesitates, gulps; tumbles forward, "Have no idea who you are." The eyebrow is still raised. "...Sorry?"

    Crispy Cream doesn't say anything for a long moment. The mental pressure it creates makes Hawks want to babble, but he manages to hold his tongue this time.

    "I can't tell if you're screwing with me or what," Crispy Cream drawls.

    "It's the 'or what'," Hawks offers.

    Hawks gets hit with an amnesia quirk. Dabi gets begrudgingly involved.
