    Summary

    A young man entered the cafe at speed, wild-eyed and panting. He locked eyes with Suguru and a moment later had vaulted over the counter and crouched at his feet, back pressed against the bar.

    Suguru watched this happen with the vague detachment of the extremely overtired. He thought absently that it was lucky he’d cleaned up the drinks or they would have impeded what had been a rather impressive hurdle. The athlete in question was looking up at him with the most stunning blue eyes he’d ever seen.

    He looked fucking terrified.

    In which Gojo Satoru seeks shelter in a 24-hour cafe, but that pretty barista might be more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    The carving on the jadeite was minimal but exquisite, from the hint of thick veins running up the shaft to the gentle curve of the proud head; its ridges and valleys a facsimile of life. Had Maomao guessed, when she procured it from the Verdigris house, that he would keep such a thing for himself? Would she think it base of him to resort to these means? It would only denigrate him further in her mind. Jinshi hoped she at least had a suspicion.

    Summary

    Shifting across the ground, dirt and grass staining the fabric over her knees, Yuna pressed her fingers to the samurai’s throat. The trees whispered, wind hissing through grass and across stone. Beneath Yuna’s hand his skin was clammy, cold beneath the pads of her fingers. His heart did not beat, and behind their lids his eyes did not move. It was a trick of the light, a fancy, a desperate hope giving her false visions of a dead samurai coming back to life; Yuna knew better than to believe in miracles. They were for samurai and honourable heroes in stories, not thieves who had stolen across a beach black with blood to take for herself the one warrior who still lived, whose honour would not let him refuse her when she asked him to save her brother as payment for his life. And yet…

    Yet…

    Summary

    It starts at the onsen.

    Taka doesn't mean for it to happen. He doesn't mean to stumble upon Lord Sakai sitting in the pool with his well-defined arms and his sparse chest hair on display, his eyes closed and his face calm. He doesn't mean to look, either, as Sakai opens his eyes and gives him a nod, standing up to step out of the hot pool, his naked body gleaming tantalizingly in the steam, his flat belly, his strong thighs, his shapely ass.

    Taka doesn't mean to stare but above all, he doesn't mean to get caught doing it.

    Summary

    There was something just slightly off in every interaction between Gojo-sensei and Fushiguro and once Yuji’d begun to notice it, he couldn’t unsee it. It wasn’t a bad kind of off – at least he didn’t think so – but it was just different from the way either of them acted around everyone else.

    Or, Yuji's journey to discovering that Megumi is Gojo's baby boy, featuring: an insane amount of simping, the mundane indignities of being a parent, and a lot of Yuji snooping in places he really shouldn't be.
