Summary
Yuuji's sixteenth birthday comes and goes with all the gluttony and celebration one would expect. Megumi, against his better judgment, can't let the occasion pass without letting his heart loose, just a little.

Summary
Perhaps, then, he wonders if Yuuji is the one who makes it beautiful. Megumi, with his dark hair like everyone else, his understated clothes, his slender form made for tight spaces and crowded subways, seems to meld with the environment around him. But Yuuji stands out like a monument (in Megumi’s eyes, but the whole of Tokyo must agree). He is bright and wonderful; he puts the lights in the skyscrapers to shame. In the early mornings and evenings like tonight, the sky glows pink like Yuuji is the one who has inspired it. He is bigger than nature, than life itself.

Summary
Tartaglia shakes his head. He sighs deeply, squeezing his eyes shut to ward off the name that had been about to take form in his mind. It’s a bit fucking grim, isn’t it? That a man who likely hasn’t thought of Tartaglia in months has managed to haunt him all the way back to his homeland. To Her Majesty’s palace, no less. Let him stay in Liyue, where he belongs, and the memories with him.
---
Tartaglia is finally home. In Zapolyarny Palace, his beloved Tsartisa's home, it feels sacrilegious to have the Archon of another land on his mind.

Summary
After all, it’s at least partly his fault Itadori is here in the first place. It wouldn’t do well to be - cold, to him, on top of that. It would be the right thing, the more moral thing to do, maybe. To keep him at arms length to make sure that his miscalculations wouldn’t hurt Itadori again, wouldn’t put him in danger. Megumi doesn’t want to lull him into any false sense of security that the world of Jujutsu is fun and welcoming and about saving the world, because it isn’t. But...
He’s clearly making an effort to be friends. Megumi isn’t - he isn’t a cruel person. Not to those that don’t deserve it, and he isn’t a robot either, despite the jokes his classmates make. Itadori doesn’t deserve it.
With a sense of finality, he thinks: Tsumiki wouldn’t like it if he were unkind to Itadori, when Itadori was being kind to him. And that settles it.

Megumi falls in love bit by bit, inch by inch, the way the sole on your favourite pair of shoes wears in over time, or how the sun travels across the sky.

Summary
When Ilya answers, he’s greeted with a whimpered moan that goes straight to his head, leaving him reeling like he’s just thrown back another shot. His mouth drops open, the cigarette dangling stupidly from his lower lip for a second until he plucks it free with his other hand.
Holy fuck. He must be dreaming. But the rough breaths filtering into his ear are too real, tethering him tightly to the moment.
“Jane,” he murmurs, gleeful and shocked. “This is not like you.”
*
Or: after Shane confesses that he can struggle to get off if he's too stressed, Ilya suggests he should just call him next time. He doesn't think Shane would ever be desperate enough to go through with it.

Summary
”Shane Hollander of the Montreal Metros has been accused of homophobia after making an insensitive joke regarding gay marriage. This is especially hurtful due to its timing — following a shutout game against the New York Admirals, where Captain Scott Hunter resides as the only openly gay player in the MLH. Our insider source confirms this is not the first time Hollander has expressed his negative opinion on the LGBT+ community.
Our team has reached out to Hollander’s representative staff and is awaiting a response.”
Or: Five times Hollanov tries to come out only for nobody to believe them, and one time it sticks.Series

Summary
“Rozanov needs a place to stay. His visa won’t allow him to go home to Russia over the break, and we don’t have the cash to put him in a hotel.”
Did the Harvard dorms completely shut down over the winter break? What about the dining hall? Shane supposed he didn’t really know. He’d never stuck around to find out, when he was younger.
“Okay?”
Coach raised his eyebrows. “So, he’s staying with you.”
Shane’s eyes went wide.
“What?”
“Come on, Captain,” Wiebe looked down his nose at Shane. “Try not to look too thrilled.”
*
or, Shane's a senior captain with an empty house over winter break. and Ilya's the freshman who will be crashing his Christmas.Series
