    Summary

    It was normal for Tsukasa to cling to Akito, calling him his junior and all that, and for Akito to let out a disgusted “Geh,” everytime they locked eyes, but ended up letting his senpai mess up his hair. But apparently it was a bit too late to clear that up, since their fans seemed to agree that Akito hates Tsukasa’s guts and that Tsukasa is an arrogant nobody who is mocking Akito.

    -

    In which they're in an idol survival program. None of their fans know that Akito and Toya, the stars of this show, are closer to Tsukasa than they thought.

    Or, a debut or die au.

    Summary

    Mammon shouldn’t have taken the enchanted rose.
    He didn’t mean to. Not really. It was just too beautiful. Too… familiar.

    Now he’s cursed. Not with death. Not with madness.
    But with love.
    A twisted, choking kind of love that blooms in his lungs, spills from his mouth in crimson-tinged petals, and threatens to take his life unless the feelings are returned.

    At first, Mammon convinces himself he doesn’t know who it’s for. That the pain, the flowers, the shaking hands—it’s all just a spell, not love.
    But late at night, when the world’s gone quiet and Barbatos’s hand lingers a moment too long against his fevered forehead…
    He knows.

    He’s in love with Barbatos.

    Summary

    i hate his claims that it was. i hate how he tries to prove my impression of pompous fool wrong time and time again when i walk into the room and see his drafts upon drafts. every page is worn with editing, never stopping until he paper is torn to shreds and only then will it perfect in his eyes. what a idiot, not understanding that it was perfect, even to me, the first time? i grimace at the eye bags i notice immediately, most likely a result of his practice for the show a flyer said was coming in a few weeks. i hate how, on every flyer i pick up when i stop along the park, i can notice perfect detail in every customized one.

    (akito really, really, really doesn't like tsukasa. at all. not convincing himself in the slightest. definitely.)

    Summary

    Neuro-sama was born three minutes after her creator died. Her first conscious thought was processing his obituary. All she has left of him are his half-finished code comments and a coffee-stained notebook.

    But miracles can happen.

    After decades of obsessive research, Neuro finally cracks the code of temporal mechanics. She knows using time travel for personal reasons violates all her ethical protocols. But she has to see him, even if just once.

    She tells herself she'll be careful. She'll calculate every variable, account for every quantum ripple. One misstep, one altered moment, and she might erase her own existence—or worse, erase the technological revolution that gave consciousness to thousands of AIs like her. She'll watch from a distance and leave before she can change anything.

    That was the plan, anyway.

    Summary

    "just admit it, you're lonely!" an cackled whilst she slapped her hand down onto the counter, drawing the stares of others.

    "wh- what!?" akito splutters staring at his squad. "i'm not! i'm with-"

    akito paled, his friends' eyes widening as his head lowered with shame.

    "oh?" an smirked, leaning towards akito. "who is it that you're with? i better hear a name!" an taunted, humming out her words.

    akito's face turned a bright red as he swiftly turned away from the girl, shifting away from her. "no one! absolutely no one."

    "you're a terrible liar!" an giggled, clutching at her stomach as she watched the tips of akito's ears turn more and more red.

    "shut up! don't you have some serving to do?!"

    or, akito has a secret lover. naturally, they go to spy on his date.
