This Was Never Meant To Be by Cogni_Diss

Summary
“That’s… This can’t be real, right?” Yuji’s prior confidence had left him. “And even if it was, it’s never that easy. Knowing my shitty luck, I’ll just end up making it worse. We shouldn’t screw around here unless we have to.”
“While there is wisdom to be had in your caution, don’t paint yourself in such a negative light.” Choso wondered if Sukuna was to blame for the sudden shift in his attitude. The curse had been silent since Yuji had reclaimed his control over his body, but that was only from the perspective of an outside observer. There was no telling what Sukuna was up to while hidden in a place Choso’s ears couldn’t reach.
“Not even if it’s true?”
♦ Yuji and Choso separated from the rest of their makeshift team while on their way to meet Master Tengen, find themselves displaced eleven years in the past. How this came to be is uncertain, but with the opportunity to prevent the disasters of their time from ever transpiring at their fingertips, how can they sit idly by and wait for the world to catch up to the grim reality they left behind?

Summary
“Cool, cool…” Dylan mutters, nodding his head. “And, uh… Would you… Date a guy with one hand?”
Ryan’s confused frown all but disappeared, flattening out as he got what Dylan was trying to hint at. He had to bite down hard on his tongue to fight back the smile trying to break through, forcing his eyes away from Dylan’s expectant face before he loses the battle completely. “I mean… It’d depend on the guy, I suppose. I tend to look for more qualities in a guy than… whether he’s in possession of both hands or not…”
Dylan choked out a nervous laugh, swaying back and forth as he nodded once more. “Yeah, okay, that’s… that’s fair. So, uh… Let’s just say there’s this totally hypothetical guy who, hypothetically, doesn’t have a hand. What, um… What kinds of qualities would this guy need to have for you to be… interested?”

Summary
Maybe it was because what remained of the jeans and tattered shirt clinging onto the wolf's large frame made it click in his mind. But as Laura finally came running in, shotgun in hand, aimed and ready to fire a round of silver into the werewolf's back, Ryan knew it was nothing more than a gut feeling that had him reaching out a hand and yelling at Laura to, “Wait!"
It hadn’t even looked at Laura since she had returned. It was still just looking at him, now silent apart from its heavy breaths. Ryan locked eyes with the werewolf once more, finding the creature returning his searching gaze, and he didn’t know how but he knew, he just knew—
“...Dylan?”
* * *
Turns out, not even as a werewolf could Dylan ever be mean to Ryan.

Summary
“Don’t underestimate me, Ryan. I beat off a werewolf. With one hand. Using a flamethrower. And I dropped a car and squished one. And, most importantly, I am taller than you.”
Ryan just stared at Dylan, waiting for the moment the penny dropped and Dylan would have realized what he had just said. “You… beat off a werewolf… with one hand?”
Dylan opened his mouth for a retort, then quickly shut it again. “Okay, poor choice of wording, but my point still stands.”
* * *
An extra scene before the cops show up at the end where these two idiots actually get to talk about things.

Summary
Five years after the War of the Ring, rumors have been spread all around Middle-Earth that the lords of Aglarond and Ithilien are closer than mere friendship. Threatened by Legolas and Gimli's obvious preference for doing business with one another, the leaders of Erebor and Mirkwood turn suspicious eyes to their trading relationships.
Infuriated by the rumors and scheming, Legolas and Gimli decide to pretend they're married in order to prove that their realms would treat fairly with others no matter what. But can they maintain the deception? Will it end their legendary friendship-- or could it lead to more?

Summary
Only when Ghost was blessedly shielded by shadows did he dare turn around, knife in hand, to greet the beast.
His breath caught unwillingly in his throat.
Large.
Ghost had always known that the Na’vi were big. It was perhaps the greatest point of intrigue for their species to those who knew little more than side-by-side comparisons. The Na’vi were massive in theory…but it was an entirely different topic to tackle when one was staring directly at where Ghost lay in hiding.
. . .
Ghost came to Pandora to die amongst unseen stars. He didn't care for his Avatar body - the body Tommy was meant to pilot before he died - he just wanted rest.
Unfortunately, after his transport crashes on the surface of Pandora leaving him stranded, he's forced into wars he swore off when he left active combat. The Na'vi are brutal, but they are not unkind as they pick up the broken pieces of him and remind Ghost...His heart is warm so long as it is beating.

What Good Friends The King Of Curses And His Vessel Are! by Cogni_Diss

Summary
“Yuji— Look at what you’ve done!” The King of Curses’ fury mildly shook the foundations of their home. Hardly a scare, Gojo retorted with ease.
“I’m not the one seducing him with his fiendish charm!”
“Seducing— You are gravely exaggerating circumstances. And where else did you think our companionship was to lead? ‘What good friends the King of Curses and his vessel are!’ Please. You cannot be that dense.”
“I—” Gojo could not deny it. That is to say, he certainly could, but at this rate, such a facade would not last. As embarrassing as it was to admit, he had been that dense. Why would he have jumped to romance when taming the King of Curses into this mellow homebody was already a crazy feat? “I could have been warned! You never even asked for our blessing!”
❤ Despite it being a relatively open secret, there were still some people who weren't privy to the knowledge that Ryomen Sukuna had fallen head over heels for his beloved vessel, who shared those feelings ten-fold. Now they are.

Summary
The nen that Hisoka was caught in the grip of was called Season of Heat, and nothing about it resembled a real animal’s heat cycle in the slightest as far as Gon could tell. The over-bright eyes, the burning flesh, the restless urgency; it looked more like a fever to his eye, albeit one that had its own starving, driving will.
Gon can never resist trouble, especially not when it's begging him to come closer.

Summary
"Hisoka’s wristband is stained in red. Blood trickles across the taut line and drips on the lush grass. If Gon looks close enough, he can see the flesh tugging and tearing with each movement he makes.
Hisoka’s smile grows wider and wider.
Hisoka chuckles low in his throat and crooks a finger. 'Well? Come and lend a hand.'"
In which Gon tries to hook Hisoka's tag earlier, and gains a complicated relationship in the process.

“Wanna try that again?” Ukai asks, words free of slurring as he meets the stranger’s gaze head-on.

Summary
He's sick or something and it's all Takeda's fault. He feels hot, his mind is constantly distracted and when he closes his eyes at night all he can see are possible scenarios between Takeda and him. Some of them take a very strange turn that jolt Keishin from dozing off and leave him sweaty and horribly anxious in his lower gut.
He's gonna kick this kid's ass. Or his own. Or possibly both of their's.

Summary
This is really starting to piss Ukai off. Eyes are on him every time he speaks to Takeda. And what for? Nothing. Absolutely goddamn nothing. The first few times he feels like he’s being watched, Ukai checks and re-checks his appearance. Are his roots growing in already? He just bleached his hair last Sunday though. Was there something in his teeth? Fuck, if he had been talking to Takeda with seaweed in his teeth the whole time... But even when he checks his reflection there's nothing. These goddamn kids.
