    Summary

    Chihiro’s entire world is the tiny house he shares with his father, the forge he only occupies when his father’s present, and the forest behind it all—where he never goes, because his father doesn’t let him.

    Becoming a grown-up is easy.

    Summary

    It’s high summer sun and Suguru wears his hair up in a tight ponytail, purposefully swishing it around as he trains. He’s much better than any of the other students, years of Aikido working in his favor, and even the older students often ask to spar with him. Suguru accepts, taking his popularity gracefully, but what he’s truly after is something else -

    “My my, Suguru. Look at you. Beating all your senpais up just to show off. Good job.”

    Gojo Satoru pulls at his swishing ponytail to congratulate him. Suguru flushes whenever he feels it, the tug at his scalp, the goosebumps afterwards.

    Suguru straightens up his back and pushes out his chest - hands behind his back, chin up, smiling, perfectly poised. Gojo praises him freely, and Suguru preens under it.

    “Thank you, Gojo-sensei,” he says, looking up at the older man. Batting eyelashes. Tip of his tongue wetting his lower lip. “Do I get a prize for that?”

     

    ****

    In which Suguru is overly eager to get impress his teacher, and the consequences of it.

    wonderful, lyrical, creepy as hell. probably has inspired a lot more of my shiba characterization than i even know. some just outstanding turns of phrase to the prose too, i really admire the circuitous yet driving force of it...

    Summary

    The idea has been rounding Shiba's mind for a while now, but it only comes out one day late at night, while in bed with Azami.

    "Hey, if we ever had a threesome, who would you like it to be with?"

    Azami takes a second. He closes his eyes and breathes in, slowly, for a few seconds. Then, he pushes away from Shiba to be able to look at him with a frown and glare.

    "What the fuck, Shiba." He says. "I turn down sex for one night and you pull this bullshit? Are you seriously so horny?"

    "What!" Half offended by Azami's accusation, Shiba frowns too. "I was just- It was just a question! A hypothetical!"

    The two of them think about it for a few moments, in silence... Then, at the exact same time, they both look at each other with a pointing finger, Azami sitting up and Shiba snapping his fingers.

    "Uruha!"

    "Natsuki!"

    Eh?

    hysterically funny yet hot. the prose always amazes me in how it keeps track of four characters who all use the same pronouns. even if you don't like sbazsb or urntur, check this out for that alone!!

    Summary

    “Hey,” Shiba said, deceptively casual, glancing at Chihiro from the corner of his eye as he drove. “There’s no shame in saying you want to back out. We’ll find a different way.”

    He pulled a face. “I’m not a little kid anymore, Mr. Shiba.”

    “I’m being serious. Think about it. Are you sure you’re ready?”

    Chihiro already knew his answer… but he did as he was asked and gave it serious consideration. This wasn’t a game, least of all to him. He might have to fight. Maybe even kill. But he’d already killed before, and was starting to get used to the feeling of someone else’s blood on his skin.

    “I can do it, Mr. Shiba,” he said.

    “…Alright,” he said softly, almost resignedly. “Alright.”

    Or; Chihiro is assaulted by three men in a bar, and he attempts to hide it from Shiba with unintended consequences.
