    Summary

    Just like she’d expected, An’s door slid right open. And An didn’t even twitch. Not as Ena closed the door behind her. Not as Ena stepped further into her room, staring straight at An’s head. Not even as Ena walked all the way up to the side of An’s bed, pulled the knife and the rope out of her bag, and leaned in.

    It was only when Ena pressed the knife to An’s throat that An finally noticed her, a strangled squeak escaping her lips, eyes wider than Ena had ever seen on anyone. Ena grinned, jerking the knife a bit sideways, watching An flinch.

    “Boo.”

     

    Or: Ena finds out about An cheating on Kohane and has no qualms with making her pay the price.

    Summary

    Maybe he could matter. Just for a moment. Maybe things could be different. For a second. Alone. Maybe Gojo wanted to meet with him for something more than homework help or assembly planning.

    Maybe it would bite him in the ass to hope, but he couldn’t stop himself. He crouched to pick up the note, running his fingers along the paper’s soft edges, reading it over again. I have a gift for you.

    The supposed gift was probably a prank, but Nanami couldn’t suppress a smile as he tucked the note into his pocket.

     

    I don’t believe in God, but I believe that you’re my saviour.

     

    “Sorry I’m late!” He clasped his bag to his chest and began to weave through the crowd, ducking between groups of gossiping girls and beneath enthusiastic extended hands. “I got caught up in—”

    “Don’t worry about it,” Gojo replied, cutting Nanami off with a shrug and a sly smile. “You’re here now. That’s all I care about.”

     

    In which Nanami Kento can’t possibly be in love with Gojo Satoru.

    Summary

    "They’d put their hearts on the line, been carelessly crushed by higher-ups with little care for their humanity, and promptly came to experience what Haruka’s manager back then liked to call The Consequences Of Mediocrity. Those were agency girls, idols-in-training; girls who’d taken classes that started and ended with teaching them to get comfortable being a failure, the least attractive in a room. Kohane was a pigtail-wearing lesbian who played with cats in her spare time and probably ran away screaming at the sight of a spider."

    Kohane's relationship begins to fall apart, and with it, everything around her comes crashing down and nobody is in any position to fix it, though they try.

    You know what they say about the road to Hell.

     

    Or: In which Haruka is the only responsible one in the room, Minori's a bit dramatic, Shizuku might be a little stupid, An is just... terrible, Mizuki is a mess, Akito has very little judgment, and Kohane is nowhere to be found.

    Summary

    Luka giggled. “Whatever you say, Mei. But now that I know… there’s no keeping my mouth shut, is there, huh? Plus, it’s never as fun to drink alone~!”

    “Are you blackmailing me?” MEIKO smirked, mildly impressed. “If I’m not drinking this, neither of us are.”

     

    Or: MEIKO gets a little birthday gift, and for some godforsaken reason she lets Luka come along to pick it up with her. In which MEIKO is gruff but affectionate, Luka is a little gremlin in all senses of the word, and KAITO is fed up with everyone. Also nobody knows how to swim. Play stupid games... well. You know.

    This fic is a gift for one of my good friends! Everyone say happy birthday Waff! <3

    Summary

    Akito nodded again, gently grabbing her hand and pulling it away from her face. “What did you do?”

    Mistake. Fucking mistake. He heard it as soon as the words left his mouth, cringing at his own horrific phrasing while Ena recoiled and hid her face in rigid, white-knuckled hands, screaming with sobs that scared Akito enough to make him want to cry along with her. “Ena, Ena, I didn’t mean it like that.” Words spilled helplessly out of his mouth, overcompensating, unsuccessful. “Ena, please, no, you didn’t do anything wrong.” He leaned forward and tried to take her hands again, but she resisted this time, thrashing as she pulled away. His voice rose above her hysterical shrieking. “Ena!”

    Somehow, Ena managed to scream even louder, reaching behind her for something and throwing it with all her strength at Akito before he could react. “YOU HATE ME JUST AS MUCH AS THE REST OF THEM!”

     

    Or: In which Akito tries and fails to comfort his sister and everyone pays the price.

    Summary

    “Minori!” Haruka grinned, holding her arms out and catching Minori around the waist. “What’s got you so excited?”

    “You!” Minori struggled in Haruka’s grasp, trying to twist around to see her girlfriend’s face. “I’m sorry I forgot about our date!”

    Haruka leaned over and kissed the top of Minori’s head, taking her tote bag and finally letting her stand up properly. “You didn’t forget about anything. I came to surprise you.” She reached for Minori’s hand, gently leading her across the car park. “How was work? Also why is this so heavy?”

    “It’s not work,” Minori mumbled, mentally combing over the contents of her tote. Wallet… keys… snacks… cheki… oh. She stared at the ground as they shuffled along, positive she was beet red. “It’s nothing. Nothing in there.”

     

    In which Minori gets Haruka a little gift.

    Summary

    Definitely, so definitely, absolutely want you to love me, want you to love me...

     

    Kanade’s hand twitched over the trackpad.

    “Also?” she whispered.

    Mafuyu said nothing. Didn’t move. Didn’t even breathe. Just stood there, fingers stretched towards Kanade, listening to the ticking of the clock.

    Kanade didn’t turn back around, eyes fixed on the screen, the rigid curve of her back barely rising as she took long, shallow breaths.

    “Aren’t the songs enough?”

     

    Or: In which the thread between Kanade and Mafuyu finally snaps.

    Summary

    "In some odd stranger's story, I'm the villain..."

     

    Without warning, the train screeched to a stop, throwing her off balance and into someone’s side. It's normally supposed to ring a bell when it stops... “Sorry,” she mumbled, stumbling backwards. “This is my— oh. Shinonome-san.” She hoped the light in the train was too low for Shinonome-san to see her blushing. Act like you haven’t just been trespassing in his yard. “How— how are you, sir?”

    Before he could reply, Shinonome-kun jumped in. “Um, Dad,” he said, tugging on his father’s sleeve, “this car seems a little crowded. Let’s go further down that way.”

    He glanced at Mafuyu over his father’s shoulder, smiling and giving her a thumbs-up. She gave him what she hoped was a thankful smile in return, sliding out the open door.

     

    Or: In which Mafuyu realises she's done pretending.

    Summary

    Hinomori was quiet for a moment, watching through the window while Shizuku shuffled her notecards and Ena fiddled with the microphone in her hand. “Your sister’s pretty nice,” she said. “I don’t, like, try to eavesdrop, but you know. She talks about you sometimes.”

    Akito’s heart sped up. “She— she does?” he stammered. “I mean. Yeah. As siblings do. Talk about each other.” He bit his tongue, forcing himself to shut up before he could ask another question and make himself look even more desperate.
    Hinomori met his gaze, steadily, and only nodded.

    Fuck.

    “What does she say?”

    Summary

    Ena sat back in her chair, crossing her legs. She was in it now. An was about to regret ever messing with her. “I figured,” she mused, twirling a strand of her hair. “So, like… how much do they pay you?”

    “You bitch!” An squeaked, and Ena had to clap a hand over her mouth to keep from laughing out loud. “I don’t pay them for shit! They came on to me, if you’ve gotta know, and…” She was struggling, Ena could hear it. “They practically begged me to fuck them, and now they beg me to keep fucking them! They still don’t want you! Never have, never will! You’re not pretty enough for them anyway!”

    “I’m prettier than you’ll ever be,” Ena snarled, imagining her Instagram profile. Thousands of followers, thousands of likes. Notifications day and night. The real sign you made it online was the brigade of paedophiles in your hidden requests.

    “Sure, sure,” An crooned. “Whatever helps you sleep at night.”'

    Ena wanted to punch her teeth out.

     

    the other side of chapter 4 of tcom.

    shinonome ena is more than the brat she may seem...

    Summary

    “Hey, welcome.” Ken glanced at An as she dragged herself through the WEEKEND GARAGE door. “Oh, it’s you. Sorry.” He set down the dishes he was washing, a smile growing on his face as An set her things down and slumped over at a table. “So?”

    An glared at him, dropping her bag with a clatter. “Haven’t you heard?” she grumbled. “I lost.”

    She didn’t know what she was expecting. 'Chin up'? 'It’s okay'? 'You’ll win it next time'?

    Ken only stared at her in shock.

    “Really?”

    An’s face burned with shame as she shrugged, and the dog ducked its head.

     

    Or: in which Shiraishi An is Vivid Street's pride and joy, and they don't let her forget it.

    Summary

    after officially hitting 100k on the original TCOM, i decided to do a little rewrite and fix some things, and while i was doing that, i started wondering— was there any possible way for the story to end well, or was it doomed to be tragic from the start?

    a few days later, we’re here. what if an had made the right decision? could TCOM be a different story?

    consider this your TCOM sunday drop for the 30th. thank you!

    Summary

    Ena blinked at him. Her mouth hung open. Her breath fluttered in and out more quickly than he’d assumed was possible. He met her eyes. She blinked at him again.
    “Okay.”
    Her voice was tiny, hollow. Terrified.
    “He’s…” Ena’s phone sat in her upturned palm. “He’s being nice to me now.”
    Akito’s shoulders slumped as Ena’s eyes filled with tears. He gazed at her, pressing his lips together, his heartbeat far too loud in his head. He knew he’d fucked up.
    “Okay,” Akito said.
    Ena looked back to the floor.
    “I’m sorry.”

    Summary

    Silently, Ken and Akito stumbled through the garage together, pausing every so often so Ken could make sure Akito wasn’t at risk of falling again. The door squeaked as Ken pushed it open, holding tight to Akito with one arm.
    “Hey, Dad!” An shouted from somewhere upstairs. “What’s— uh.” She screeched to a halt at the end of the hall, staring in silent confusion as her dad slowly led a limp, miserable version of Akito across the floor, shuffling with his head bowed against her dad’s shoulder. “Uhh.”

     

    Or: In which Touya and An are blissfully unaware of Akito out cold on the floor of An's garage.

    Also Ken nearly runs him over with a car.
