    Summary

    At the recommendation of a therapist he had seen sometime between 1989 and 1992, he decided to keep a journal, of sorts. It was never anything fancy; a spiral-bound book he forgot to use for note-taking in calculus, a dog-eared pallet of graphing paper with pages torn from its weak glue backing, a joke-a-day stationary pad that Polnareff got him for his birthday, one year. He was never very good at it, finding the notions his therapist had put forth for processing trauma to be too at-odds with his own general state of being and feelings of self-imposed tension, but he was consistent.

    It's the only reason he doesn't immeditaely assume he's been hallucinating when he reads back the latest entry and realizes he didn't write it.

    OR...

    Jotaro and the very magical telepathic symbiosis achieved (temporarily and to great effect) between a human subject and a colony of sea anemone.

    Summary

    It was almost ironic that he’d pursued a profession in healthcare. Even now, the stern expression that’d become etched onto his face often intimidated patients and staff alike, and he’d grown accustomed to the general shift in demeanor upon entering a room.

    But tonight, his main concern was you.

    Summary

    Jotaro doesn't mince his words.
    Not that you care - you know how he worked, and honestly, what he said never affected you anyway.
    Except now that he'd called you a burden. Something you've always felt you were somehow.
    Well, the thing is: he really does think you are a burden. But not in the way you're thinking.
    Let him explain better.

    Summary

    Nothing else — not obedience to her insane demands, neither friendliness nor the cold shoulder, not even outright rage and physical violence — has been able to shake L off the trail she’s dragged everyone along on, the one with a neon sign at the end only she can see that proclaims Light to be Kira beyond the shadow of a doubt. But this; this might do it.

    Light proposes an encounter to L. For strategic reasons.

    Summary

    Jotaro's grandmother, Josephine, hears that Jotaro is newly single and insists on a "girl's night out" to heal her broken heart. At first, Jotaro is opposed. But then she meets Kakyoin and the night isn't lost after all.

    (The dancer looks surprised. "Woah. Someone broke 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 heart? Guys really are stupid.”

    The compliment, the clear appreciation in how she looks Jotaro up and down, is like the first hit of nicotine after a long day. It has Jotaro's blood singing, leaves her wanting more.

    “Wasn’t a guy. And my heart isn’t broken.”

    New interest flashes in the dancer's eyes. She takes a step closer. Jotaro’s breath hitches.

    “Don’t tell me you swing my way. I’ve never been so lucky before,” she murmurs, close enough that Jotaro can feel the words hot against her cheek. Jotaro’s fingers clench with the effort of not grabbing the woman’s waist to bring them flush. Just to see what would happen next.)

    Summary

    The world felt endless through the train window, long stretches of fluorescent streetlights and empty streets melted together in the late-night dark. There was nobody else on this car, probably nobody else on this train by now. Jotaro was already jet-lagged, barely functioning after the plane ride back to Tokyo, and he didn't know where he was or where the train needed to stop.

    Noriaki did though.

    Summary

    On a whim, Jotaro pulled his clothes out. He neatly folded up the old turtlenecks, patted down the dusty sweaters, and smoothed out the creases of his off-white slacks, pulling each of them off the hangers one by one. Once they were stacked together in a clean pile, he set them down in the corner of the closet and pushed the empty hangers off to the side. Carefully, Jotaro spread Noriaki’s clothes out to cover up the blank space that remained.

    It looked neater now. Complete. And then he understood.

    As Jotaro looked over the rewritten remains of their closet, he finally realized that he was getting ready to die.

    Summary

    Jotaro just barely managed to let go of his suitcase in time to catch his mother when she came speeding down to greet him, her arms wrapping tight around his abdomen and squeezing hard enough to make him loose his breath. He distantly heard Noriaki calling out his own greetings behind him, but in his exhaustion, he only just managed to catch the warm smile on Holly’s face as she beamed up at him with nothing but open affection.

    “It really has been so long since I’ve seen you,” she said. “Welcome home, honey.”

    Summary

    “Okay, Jojo, what’s so important that you had to keep me away from the house all day?” Noriko Kakyoin asked her girlfriend that evening as they returned to the Kujo estate after spending all day together in Akihabara, even going to Nori’s favorite arcade so that Jojo could play the crane game that she was fond of with her.

    “Easy, Jiji has a surprise for you but he needed you out of the house so that he could get it inside.” Jojo replied as she leaned down to kiss her smaller girlfriend only for them to be interrupted by a familiar barking coming from the house as a black and white bolt made its way toward them only to be intercepted by Star Platinum. “And Iggy, you just ruined everything, yare yare dawa” The assumed yankii said as she pulled her hat down over her eyes to hide the fact that everything was going how she planned it.

    Kakyoin already knew he was gay, but being in such close quarters with one Kujo Jotaro was really helping to narrow down just what he was into.

    Summary

    At first, he assumed that he had been too hasty. That death would be a slower process than he had imagined. He chided himself for his lack of patience and settled down to wait.

    But the days kept passing. He still felt the rough scrape of his headstone against his fingertips, still felt the morning dew seep through his pants while he sat. The uncanny sensation of living hadn't dulled in the slightest since he was buried.

    Time moved along without him, and Noriaki finally realized that nothing had changed at all. That was when the hunger struck.

    Summary

    The pure venom he spat out nearly made Josuke flinch even if he knew that it wasn't aimed at him. It had taken some time to be able to recognize what the target of Rohan’s irritation truly was when it sounded so all-encompassing, but Josuke could tell that he wasn’t the problem here.

    No, Rohan wasn’t frustrated with Josuke. He was frustrated with himself.

    -

    Josuke finally witnesses the double-edged sword that is Rohan's work, and just how far Rohan is willing to fall for it.
