Summary
What Gintoki admits with mortification is that Zura is fucking good as Zurako, that she excels her performance to the point where she becomes a separate entity from the Zura he knows his whole life, as if the woman swaying her hips on the stage isn't one of his old friend's many personas but a hologram tailored to feed Gintoki's wildest imagination – and, much to his vexation, other audience's desires.

Summary
“You think we should stop doing this?” Nagumo breaks the silence, voice muffled by the pillow.
“Don’t lie on your stomach while catching your breath,” Sakamoto reprimands. The back of his head is sticking to Nagumo’s spine, damp hair on damp skin. The sheet has been defiled until there’s barely space to sleep comfortably on. That’s another laundry to do.
“How can I get up when your big, stupid head is on me?”

And if he lets her bullets tear through layer upon layer of his illusions—that's the closest thing to a friendship, theoretically.

Summary
“What the fuck is wrong with you?”
Their glares meet like two swords clashing, forged steel on forged steel.
Hanamichi parrots. “What the fuck is wrong with you?”
(On confusing instinct for desire, and desiring the undesirable.)

They Say That Idiots Never Catch Cold But It's Only the Idiots Who Don't Take Their Medicine by dearfriendicanfly for lucienna

Summary
“As they say, only idiots catch cold.”
“That’s ‘idiots never catch cold.’ But I guess that means you’re safe, Zura.”
Zura folds his arms and turns to face Gintoki with great dignity. “I’ll have you know, I’m more than capable of catching anything I’d like.”
“Yeah, I don’t doubt you.”
Zura, despite being an idiot, catches a cold. Though Gintoki has nursed him back to health many times before, this time, it's somehow different.

As long as they can still recognize each other’s shapes, the rest will fit into place.

Summary
" ...And don’t talk to me about the pain of using my left hand, I could tell you all about the pain of using my left hand!"
In which Katsura overhears Gintoki's complaint, has an idea, and somehow, feelings are revealed along the way.
Set immediately after the Battle at Rakuyou. Light smut, much fluff.

Summary
He has no choice but to leave himself to his hand’s learned routine for taking off the edge, for when the beauty of space inevitably leaves him dazzled and hollow in equal measure. But this time he isn’t fantasizing—he’s just home. Sakamoto always, always comes back to these assholes, his comrades-in-asininity, using gravity as an excuse for drawing close, crashing down, and falling in love. Over and over again.

Bookmarker's Notes
When he looks ahead again, he finds his trusty gun pointed right at him, Takasugi’s expression dead-serious; Sakamoto seriously, seriously resolves that it wouldn’t be such a bad way to go.

Summary
When he forgets (and he does, deep in the thick of battle), Zura is there to remind him.

Bookmarker's Notes
He wonders if it will cause him to un-exist, to be cut off from this dimension. It will be nice, he thinks, to float in a kind of void, or perhaps to become one.
