Summary
"Thousand yen says you can't make that jump," Megumi says, peering up at the fourth floor window.
Yuuji splutters. "Hey, I could totally make that! I could make the roof if I wanted!"
"You're old," Megumi says. "You have knee pain."
"You're old," Yuuji mutters darkly, but when Megumi wordlessly holds out his hand, Yuuji takes it without even having to look.
(Or: for their last mission before retirement, Yuuji and Megumi return to a Sendai high school.)

Summary
"So you kissed him," Nobara says carefully, tapping her nails against her cup. "After ten years of pining, might I add. Then what happened?"
Megumi opens his mouth, but no words come out. His voice sticks in his throat and chokes him. The silence stretches on; Nobara stops her tapping.
"Megumi," she says slowly. "Then what happened?"

Summary
Yuuji cracks the blinds open, just enough to let the light bleed in without staging an attack on Megumi's eyes. He kneels down by the bed and strokes a hand over the sleep-soft skin of Megumi's nape, watching as Megumi stirs awake at the motion.
"Morning," Yuuji murmurs, keeping his voice low. "Happy birthday."
(Or: fourteen years after Shinjuku, Yuuji plants a garden.)

Summary
Yuuji turns deathly pale. “That’s-that’s my–”
They all look at each other, the silence deafening. The dead man is wearing Yuuji’s shirt.
“Still think it’s a coincidence?” Maki laughs, but the sound is devoid of humor.
Megumi slumps onto the couch.
What the fuck happened last night?
or, after a bachelorette party gone wrong, the gang finds themselves with no memories of the night before and a potential murder on their hands. (it's about as wild as it seems)

Summary
And it’s when Megumi realizes that he can hardly bear to tear his gaze away, to meet Gojo’s knowing one, that he understands. Feet rooted to a spot slightly to the left of the doorway, vines wrapping around his ankles, he understands just why Itadori Yuji’s smile scares him worse than any special-grade curse ever could. He’s sure that right now, if he were to see it, he wouldn’t be able to bear it.

Summary
“Hello, is this Megumi Fushiguro?”
It’s a man’s voice.
“Yes,” Megumi says. “Who is this?”
“Ah, forgive the multiple calls, but I have some very important business to discuss with you. I’m Kenji Tajiro, Satoru Gojo’s lawyer.”
A week later Megumi is sitting in a clinically white and sleekly modern office building in the heart of Tokyo. Jennifer is at his feet, alert, her leash held loosely in Megumi’s grasp. Yuji is sitting on his right, leg bouncing and clad in his “nicest pair of joggers”. He has Megumi’s other hand nearly crushed in his grip. The dog is alert, Yuji is a ball of nerves.
Megumi feels nothing.
