    Summary

    Amidst the chaos of the Reaper War, Garrus and Shepard take the simplest legal step to solve one of Shepard’s problems: having no next of kin. A quiet registry office marriage. No fanfare, just enough to satisfy the bureaucracy.

    They want no fuss. No photos, no suits, just one witness. So naturally, the entire Normandy knows.

    Set during Mass Effect 3.

    Summary

    A harsh gust of wind cuts straight through his uniform, loud in his ears, and Yuuji shivers, burying the bottom half of his face in the collar of his hoodie, seeking warmth.

    There’s a pointed tap on his shoulder, and he whirls around, a delighted, “Gojo-sensei,” already rolling off the tip of his tongue. Except, it’s not Gojo-sensei. A man stands in front of him with a chagrined smile, brown hair gelled neatly back and curly beard trimmed close to his chin.

    “Oh, hello,” Yuuji says in surprise. “Can I help you?”

    Summary

    It was supposed to be an easy mission.

    Key word there being ‘supposed.’

    And it was supposed to be an easy mission, really.

    That does not change the fact that he and Gojo-sensei are both cats.

    Summary

    There’s no regret tainting Yuuji’s voice when he says, “Satoru kissed me.”

    He sounds quietly happy when he compresses days’ worth of flesh hunger into a few words. And he seems genuinely apologetic when he turns around and looks Satoru right in the eye to say, “This is pretty weird, isn’t it? Sorry, Gojou-sensei.”

    Yuuji, Satoru realizes, has a peculiar way of hiding his pain.

    He thinks of this boy in that crematorium in Sendai, carefully picking up his grandfather’s bones with a strong, dry gaze. The lack of grief was not for a lack of love; even Satoru could tell that much. He figured out a while later, watching Yuuji grin wide while his newly regrown heart thumped in his chest, that the lack of pain wasn’t a lack at all. It was just tucked away quietly somewhere Satoru couldn’t see or reach.

    It’s strange to look at Yuuji’s awkward smile and know with bone-deep certainty that the seventeen-year-old ghost who sunk his teeth into his heart is now one such quiet grief.

    Satoru navigates the aftermath of an accidental de-aging incident that led to his own teen self romancing and bedding his favorite student. Meanwhile, October 31st creeps closer.

    Summary

    Itadori Yuji has been having the same recurring nightmare since he was fifteen years old. In it, he watches a man get cut in half at the waist and die. He’s never seen the man’s face, but he knows it’s always the same man. He’s never met the man before, but he wakes up crying over his death every time.

    Ten years on and finally at the end of his rope over how much the nightmare has been affecting his personal life, Yuji accepts a referral from his psychiatrist for a highly expensive but nationally recognised dream therapist.

    And this is where our love story begins—if it ever really ended, at all.
