    Summary

    Amamiya Ren has run the gauntlet and survived. Cognitive divinities, overenthusiastic therapists, rogue AI - you name it, he's dealt with it. His reward? A comfortable college life with a new family, a loving girlfriend, and a group of friends who would do anything for him. But for some reason, fate seems to like screwing with him in particular.

    Now Ren finds himself in a new and dangerous world full of demi-humans, actual humans (which look nothing like he remembers), rampant bigotry, and magic of the distinctly non-persona variety. With no idea how he got here, and only the concept of a plan to get back, the former leader of the Phantom Thieves hitches his wagon to a unique Elda with an even more unique book.

    A retelling of Metaphor: ReFantazio wherein Amamiya Ren joins the Protagonist's quest to save the prince of Euchronia, and his unique skillset and knowledge will hopefully tip the scales in their favor.

    Summary

    Yuji Itadori eats Sukuna’s finger, alone, and survives. Branded an unregistered threat, he is captured by the higher-ups of Jujutsu High and locked beneath the school, where months of quiet brutality are justified as “keeping society safe”.

    When Gojo Satoru is ordered to execute Sukuna’s vessel, he expects to see a monster. Instead, he finds a frail boy who has been holding a god at bay by sheer will.

    Summary

    Alicred sees him. Sees him feral, hiding under bedsheets and pulling pain from his scalp. How he hates being too hot, how hunger controls him, how greed and selfishness are his core;-- inner mantel and outer with a crust of milquetoast.
    It disgusted him the same way a larvae is disgusting. Wriggling, repulsive, fat and greedy. Useless. Alicred wants to weep, because he loves him. This pre-pupa of a demon. Potential as deep as it is wide. Alicred looks out at the sky from the nearby window, and feels dizzy.

    Summary

    “Iruma,” Kalego said firmly as he grabbed the boy’s wrist to stop him from running any further, “I need you to answer me truthfully. You’re not in any trouble, so take a deep breath,” His voice was uncharacteristically gentle as he slowly guided Iruma back to the couch. Once Iruma was sat, Kalego crouched down and gently held his hands, “Iruma,” He said quietly, “Who grounded you?”

    The teenager blinked in surprise at Kalego’s words. Grounded? He looked around at all the other teachers, expecting them all to be staring at him like he was a buffet waiting to be eaten. Instead, they all stared back at him with pity and horror written all over his face. He slowly turned his attention back to Kalego, who was patiently waiting for an answer.

    “Excuse me,” Iruma whispered, his heart still hammering in his chest, “W-what…What is grounding?” He asked.

    ___

    What if Iruma is removed from Sullivan's custody and put in the care of his grumpy homeroom teacher and the teacher who supposedly experiments on students? How will Iruma continue to hide the fact that he's human while also making his teachers understand he wasn't tortured?
