恋の予感 (koi no yokan)—a feeling of inevitable love to be
Major manga spoilers! Canon divergent from ch. 211
There’s something strangely familiar about it all. The glasses. The spidery hair. Even the way he talks. There’s a pull in her chest, like a magnet, and heat rises to her cheeks.
“The hell kinda name is Okarun?” she blurts.
While Momo struggles to accept the reality of her memory loss, she feels a strange connection to Okarun, and soon he feels simultaneously like a stranger, a friend, and something much more.

Summary
Riju’s smile grows practically devilish while Zelda takes another humiliating drink, her cheeks no doubt rivaling than the sinking sun outside the window.
“Let’s seeeee …” Riju props her elbow on the sofa, threading her fingers through the fresh crop of her scarlet hair. “A noble pursuit, hmm? What could that refer to? Is there anything in Hyrule that we might consider noble? Or perhaps … anyone?”Riju and Zelda drink Noble Pursuits and talk about a certain noble someone.

Summary
"D'ya ever just wish we could like - I dunno - start over?"
Momo's voice was so soft in the blood-spattered bathroom, Ken barely caught it. He looked up in the mirror at her, sitting with her legs crossed in decidedly unladylike fashion on the shower stool.
Torn sweater. Crimson scratches across her shoulder. Dirt smeared on her cheek where she'd taken a hard fall.
All of it, his fault, for being so damn slow.---
Canon divergent sometime before Danmara, but spoiler-free!

Summary
The boy is just as content not bothering, defining his edges of the world with the same monochrome graphite he uses to block out shapes in the margins of his notebooks. He doesn’t have anyone to give so much of his emotional energy away for so uselessly in the first place.
One day, normal and like any other, Ken Takakura glances up at the sound of shuffling and only sees pink.

Summary
When Momo starts feeling unwell at school, she doesn't think much of it. That is, until she sees something that makes her suspect she might have been possessed. But the truth is much scarier than what she would've expected.
She's encountered ghosts. She's encountered aliens. And now she's about to encounter her biggest challenge yet. A baby.Series

Summary
Occult-kun hadn't said or tried anything, even though he'd had ample opportunity. He'd stared at her, yeah, but she'd been inches away from him in a weird-as-hell situation she'd personally manufactured. And he'd looked at her face, anyway.
He didn't seem disgusted by her, either. He didn't even seem annoyed.
He… didn't seem to care who she was.
And holy hell, that was kind of… amazing.---
Companion piece/sidequel to my other work, Empty Space -
A no-powers AU in which Ken and Momo deal with complex situations and the fallout, mental and physical, of the choices they make, while slowly coming to recognize their own faults and their feelings for each other.
Some liberties have been taken with character backgrounds & certain personality traits have been tweaked.
E rating for a later chapter. There will be a content warning in the notes and it will be skippable!Series
