Summary
“There are a hundred of them,” someone spoke up suddenly. Niko, Aiku realised a moment later. “Why would anyone need this many candles? This is insane.”
“It’s a test of courage,” Aryu sighed, his eyes sweeping across the room, taking in the faces of everyone who had ended up there, wherever ‘there’ was. “In the Edo period, samurai played this game by telling each other scary stories. They would blow out one candle for each story, and the one who could sit through all one hundred would be the winner. It’s tragically old-fashioned, but there is a certain stylish flair about it.”
Rin sniffed and crossed his arms over his chest, peering out the window so that he didn’t have to squint at the candles. “Lukewarm is what it is.”
Hiori simply couldn’t suppress his glee at the sight of the blanched faces around him and added, “Isn’t there something about some final boss yurei showing up after the one hundredth candle is blown out?”
Kaiser’s brow furrowed. “What the hell is a yurei?”

The Blue Lockers and some of their former rivals, enemies, and teammates end up in the middle of nowhere to play the One Hundred Candles Game.

Summary
“Hello?” Isagi couldn’t remember any German greetings, but he distinctly remembered that it was close to the English one (he hoped). His voice made the person go still, but it was too late to hide from Isagi now, when he had already walked up to the tree.
To Isagi’s astonishment, it was another boy. He’d looked dark-haired at first, with his hood pulled low over his face, but messy blond hair stuck out of the opening, and pale blue eyes glimmered in the shadow of it.

Summary
All Isagi had ever loved was football. Once upon a time, his soulmate had held an equal place in his affections, until his dad’s job brought them all the way to Germany and Isagi finally realised that his soulmate’s true name, the one over his ribs, was a blistering insult no one deserved.
He had been consumed by fear and regret. He’d cried so hard he’s made himself sick. Then, he became furious at the unfairness of it all. To think that his soulmate was some awful, degenerate, piece of—
Forget it. You’ve got a job to do.
Ray Dark had put a hand on Isagi’s shoulder and given him a dispassionate brief: there was a boy who had fended off seven police officers with a football and he was currently sitting in a holding cell. He wanted Isagi to find out if the boy loved football, and if he loved it enough to cross the country and somehow get into shape to make the Bastard München tryouts next month.
●●●●●
A younger!Kaiser/ older!Isagi story and how their lives are intertwined, where they met the right person in each other, but at the wrong time, and their struggles to meet in the middle.

Summary
He traced a circle on the snow, and a second, smaller one inside it. It would have been nice to dig out his old spellbook for the occasion, but Ness didn’t want to push his luck too much. Besides, though it had been years, he still remembered the runes and their significance. He inscribed them carefully in the gap between the concentric circles until he had filled the space with the same summoning spell he had attempted when he was a child.
Now, all he needed to do was visualise the magical creature he wanted to bring to him. He was spoiled for choice, really, when there was an abundance of magical creatures he wanted to meet. Any one of them would do, he really wasn’t picky.
All he could imagine was choppy blond and blue hair, red and black and blue tattoos, blue roses—
Oh, who was he kidding? Kaiser was about the only thing he could think about.
⋆｡°✩ ⋆｡°✩ ⋆｡°✩
Frustrated over the growing gulf between him and Kaiser, Ness tries to find a distraction and ends up summoning another Kaiser "by accident".

Blessed Curses Like Sala Flowers Falling From The Heavens [JJK] by theinstinct
Fandom: 呪術廻戦 | Jujutsu Kaisen (Anime), 呪術廻戦 | Jujutsu Kaisen (Manga)
04 Sep 2025
Summary
A series for me to house all my Jujutsu Kaisen stories. Considering all the ideas I have, it would be safe to assume that there will be many manga spoilers within, so click at your own risk!
Sala flowers are important in Buddhism. They are also commonly conflated with cannonball trees.
In Japan the sal tree of Buddhist scriptures is identified as the deciduous camellia (Stewartia pseudocamellia), called shāra, 沙羅, from Sanskrit śāla.

Summary
Ness put down his phone and looked around his apartment. Their apartment, actually; officially, the lease was in his name, but Kaiser and Isagi had gravitated towards it over the years. Old battlefields were scattered all across it—the tasteful Japanese flower arrangements Isagi had set up next to Kaiser’s extravagant, giant Ming-era vase; velvet curtains clashing with delicate light blue blinds, and of course, in pride of place, a jumble of trophies and medals and Man Of The Match awards. It was almost impossible to understand who owned which.

Summary
Beautiful Treasure
shrouded in a starless sky
Hidden out of view
from peons too dull, too blind
But these eyes saw through your veilIlluminous Moon
hares dance around silent steps
You descend, our paths cross
ceremonious meeting
My accursed soul enthralledAlluring Envy
My desire next we meet
strip you from the sky
lay your scattered pieces bare
and savior what will be mineZenin Megumi
When shall our dear tryst occur?
Patience is fleeting
My appetite yearns for you
demanding satisfaction❤ A short collection of poetry exchanges between the infatuated King of Curses and the Head of the Zenin Clan who is desperately trying to put a stop to such courtship.

Summary
Ness couldn't speak. His lips parted soundlessly, reverence pouring through his every limb like holy fire. Kaiser tilted his head, amusement curling in his expression. “I think I’ll keep you.”
He touched Ness’ face again, fingertips ghosting along his chin as if inspecting something fragile and precious—his prize. “My sweet believer,” Kaiser murmured, and Ness’ breath caught. “My foolish, pathetic little heretic.”
Gently, Kaiser pushed him back against the altar. Stone met spine, but Ness didn’t flinch. His rebuilt altar, polished and cleaned with months of devotion, now bore the weight of both worshipper and god.
