@raventhekittycat

hi okay so I've been mulling this one over for the past day or two and I think I have the answer. not to be using hamburger to explain anything to an american but you're my detco mutual so I'm going to try and explain it in detco terms

There's a post going around recently about how if you've read detco and only detco, the first time hakuba shows up you're going to be totally flummoxed, because damn this guy is clearly important, he gets to be even cooler than Shinichi, he's got a half-page shot of him (in such a panel-dense series such as Detective Conan, no less!!) and he's got a fucking hawk. he's CLEARLY important. everything about the narrative is indicating that you need to PAY ATTENTION to hakuba and that he's the coolest guy and he's important!!!! and then he dies in the case lol (not for real. but still.)!! and you're like huh??? what was that. why did aoyama do that.

But with the context of magic kaito this totally makes sense. He's a beloved character that people have been waiting decades to see again. Of course Aoyama is going to hype him up!! It's his big moment after years of being locked in the backrooms!!!

Anyways reading birdmen for me was kind of like that. The author's previous series, Kekkaishi, was pretty one-dimensional at the beginning, and even after the main plot started picking up at around volume 6, it still felt quite understandable. I knew what she was trying to get at, and the spectacular job she did with the anthropocene and climate change metaphor towards the end of that series really made me interested in the rest of her works. That and the way she writes familial relationships is absolutely DEVASTATING. (I mean this with the highest of praise)

But when I read BIRDMEN for the first time, I was probably in... middle school, maybe? And I read it, sure, but I didn't get it. I could see what was literally happening on the page but the narrative choices were absolutely baffling at times. Why skip over the entire part of the plot where they figure out who the birdman that saved them was? She blatantly doesn't care about that. What does she care about then?? I knew I didn't get it, I knew there were parts of it that were important and I couldn't figure out why and THAT'S how it dug its pretty little claws into me. Even after I finished catching up it nagged at me a little bit, not often at all, but enough that every once in a while I go, huh, right, that was a thing, let me go read it again.

For the record this type of story haunting has happened to me twice. First time was the Heart of Thomas, second time was BIRDMEN. I think the thing is that these are both stories which are not what other people say they are and I think I came into both of these stories with a misconception, trying to look too hard for things that weren't important and therefore missing the things that were.

Because sure, BIRDMEN is about mental illness. Yeah, it's about an evil scientific organization growing mutants in a lab. Yeah, it's about what it means to leave your humanity behind. That's all technically correct, on a surface level, and the fandom at large likely agrees with these takes for the most part, but in my opinion none of that really delves into what the thematic messaging of the story is about.

There are cryptic conversations about authority and human extinction and peculiar outfit and ability choices. You can tell these choices weren't made to serve the purpose of "writing exciting shonen manga" because that was what she did for the most part in Kekkaishi and you can tell she wasn't putting her whole pussy into doing that here. So what was she doing? What's like. All of this. Waves my hands at this.

The short answer is that it's really about the interplay between capitalism (represented by humanity) and communism (represented by birdmen), and explores the role institutional white supremacy (EDEN) plays in enforcing capitalism. It is ALSO about queer liberation and the importance of community, but hey, that double-stacks conveniently with the communism metaphor.

But also take this opinion of mine with a grain of salt. As far as I know I'm the only one who really truly deeply believes that it is not only AN interpretation of the work, but one that was fully intended by the author.

So basically, I like it, because I think it says something true and beautiful that I also believe in, even if I didn't have the words for it the first time I read it. But I don't really think that's what people really look for in a media recommendation.

Do I like it? Yes, I love it. Will I recommend it to others? Yeah, sure. But do I think it's deeply flawed? Yeah, absolutely. It's flawed in the same ways as The Witch from Mercury— a rushed ending, too many threads that were opened and never tied together. The pacing and characterization is perfect in the beginning, and too rushed at the end. There are prerequisites you basically HAVE to read in order to understand the story (tempest for G-Witch and the communist manifesto for birdmen). I think a truly good story wouldn't have any of these things so if people don't like it I never blame them.

It's my personal experiences that make birdmen so profound to me. If you are not queer I just don't think Eishi coming out as a birdman to his mom will hit the same, just as an example. Sorry that I wasn't the kid you wanted me to be. I know you love me and you just want the best for me and that's why you're so controlling, because you think I can be saved by conforming to societal expectations. But I can't live like that. I can't be like that. And that's why I must go. etc.

Aesthetically I do love birdmen a lot. If I had to describe it in a few words it would probably be "chilling", "beautiful", and "powerful", which nicely coincides with the type of things I personally like to draw. It's also silly to a small degree but it's so serious and I know Tanabe can be way way way funnier (read kekkaishi for this. kekkaishi and hanazakari no kimitachi he were foundational to my sense of sequential art humor) so that's not really the standout trait of this series.

I can't let it go because I'm chewing this series like a bone. And it's taking me years but I am getting that sweet sweet marrow. By god. We are on year 3 of this shit and I am GOING to understand this series. and I'm going to make 3 video essays about it

#just thinking thoughts...#stray bird thoughts #so it's like... I don't like it because birdmen is good #I think I like it because I am a certain type of person and the author was trying to say something specifically to the type of person I am #OH #I'M THE TARGETED AUDIENCE THATS WHY I LIKE IT.#YEAH THATS REALLY IT!!!#A long time ago I said that birdmen wasn't written for the people who read it at the time it serialized.#it was written for the people they would become.#and I stand by that 100%#if it really stays with you there is going to be a reason even if you can't articulate it yet #and it may APPEAR sloppy to someone who doesn't see the queer or communist metaphor #like 'what is she doing what is she saying here she's not saying anything meaningful and emphasizing the wrong things'#but that sort of presumes she is gunning to make 'the best shonen manga ever'#which she clearly isn't.#I remember when I was reading fma with a bunch of my classmates and I'd lend them a volume or two every day #and a piece of feedback I received that has stuck with me was 'volume 15 was so boring'#(that was the volume recounting the ishval civil war. it was boring because we were middle schoolers and didn't REALLY get it.)#and like.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let's spread the self-love🫶🏻

I’m curious to know your personal favorites! I’ll treat it as a fic-rec hehe

You are so cute! I love you! 🩵

Hm… this is a tough question cause I guess it depends on the day and what I’m feeling. I mean all my stories are honestly the same in terms of my ship being together and it ending happily, but the journey and the way I choose to tell it can differ. What exactly are quintessential lots of love fics? I guess currently I will go with these (I’m only doing Det Co ones cause I know you’re in this fandom, plus I don’t write enough for my actual otps in other fandoms)

In no particular order cause I don’t really have a true top five:

I Can Make Your Heart Race: They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, so then what’s the way to a woman’s? Obviously you have to get her heart racing. In which scare tactics does little to impress a scientist, instead it backfires on the detective. Well, maybe not completely. Rated G (ShinShi)

It’s really short, but I find myself thinking about this fic some days. Maybe cause it is a fix it fic of sorts since my heart will never keep the canon ship in tact, and it’s fluffy with the potential for more. They’re my most slowburn ship and it kills me

I Hate Accidents, Except When We Went From Friends To This: Post Black Org and Permanent Antidote. A month-long look into the relationship of Shiho and Shinichi. Written with prompts from flufftober on tumblr. Rated T (ShinShi)

I was actually proud of how I was able to follow not one, not two, but 31 whole prompts! Even though every chapter is super short, but still. I’m the worst at following prompts, so I got excited I was able to get through this and keep my brand of fluff

Lo Lo Love Me: The change from fighting to be Shinichi again, to being her Edogawa. Or the fic where Shiho becomes a little delusional.

“You’re not him.”

“I am.”

“No, you’re not Edogawa Conan. You’re Kudo Shinichi.”

Rated T (CoAi but technically it’s ShinShi)

Truthfully my ending for this verse is just the first chapter, this idea wouldn’t die and I still find myself thinking about it some days. I think I ended it too soon but also don’t think I should’ve added to it beyond the first chapter. So yes I still think about revisiting it all the time

You Belong With Me?: It’s a matter of principle. She was here first and they grew up together for goodness sake! Of course people can change their minds, but she waited patiently for two years with the title as his girlfriend, so how can it be over just like that? It’s not fair. Rated T (ShinShi told from Ran’s pov)

Who would I be if I didn’t include a song fic? And yes while I love that this love affair with this fandom began with Folklore Twist, but I really do have some strong feelings for Ran. And it’s all because of projection, so yes I want better for her and I want her to be her own knight in shining armor and let my queen be the one who gets the romance story book ending for once

A Day Out With The Kids: An impromptu date holds no weight against an already established play date with the Detective Boys. It doesn’t stop Kaito from wooing Shiho anyway, even with the children’s attempts at sabotage. Converting these CoAi shippers to board the kaishi ship may not be as difficult as one might think. It’s a good thing Kaito’s great with kids. Rated G (KaiShi)

I couldn’t resist okay, yes I know my most popular fic is probably one that’s rated E or even my fuck the childhood friends to lover fic. And yeah I do sometimes go back to those verses, but some days kaishi owns my entire heart. So yeah, I had to include one even though I know it’s a crack ship

(A bonus/ honorable mention would be the Fleeting Feelings verse. I would be unstoppable as a multishipper, but alas I’m not.)

#cynful thoughts #this took me way too long to do #I mean yes I love my fics and I do reread my own shit but idk it depends on the vibe!#I’ve been so focused on commenting I have not thought about my own writing #so I’m way behind on the July prompts and other WIPs… oops

13, 38 & 41 for Evil Conan!

13. What color do they think they look best in? Do they actually look best in that color?

Blue! Deep, dark blues. And he does - definitely not because it's Shinichi's best color or anything.

yeah i might be a little biased here lol, this is a personal preference for them also

38. What memory do they revisit the most often?

So... although Shinichi's memories are technically Conan's memories, accessing them is a bit like watching home videos recorded on a VHS. He has no deep, sensory connection to them; he's aware they exist, he can visit them in this window-shopping kind of way, but he's incapable of any kind of nostalgia for them. He could recall something as influential as The Moonlight Sonata Murder Case and feel nothing.

This drives him mad, of course, because [1] it's out of his control, and [2] he wants so badly to be Shinichi-- he is Shinichi, so why don't the memories feel like his own?

Conan doesn't get to build his own repository of memories until he takes full control, which is well into his relationship with Shinichi and well after their initial "split." So for the sake of a timeline, his "real" memories begin sometime before The Naniwa Serial Murder Case (using the anime canon).

Ironically, I think a memory that would have struck him quite deeply, like Shinichi, is watching Akemi die.

miyano sisters stay winning by living in this gremlin's head rent-free fr (sobs)

For Evil Conan specifically, not only does he get to eke just that much closer to the org, but it's the first time he gets to validate himself as Shinichi to someone who clearly doesn't view him as just a child. I believe that validation will mark any memory in his mind as important and worth revisiting.

...

For the record, Evil Conan would absolutely point at Shinichi and loudly proclaim he's "nothing like him" while beginning hour 10 in the Holmes-specific section of the Kudos' ostentatious library/study combo.

41. How do they feel about children?

They're... useful.

I think for this one it's important to highlight that Evil Conan's character is always on a downward trajectory from the moment he decides he and Shinichi cannot coexist, and that these answers are for an incarnation of him who is already at his worst, long-steeped in a deep hatred for Shinichi and actively pursuing his demise... but without having gone completely off the rails yet. The only way he could be any worse is if the story branched off on a "bad ending" route-- that is, he "wins" and successfully takes Shinichi's place in the world.

In spite of being more childish than he lets on, Conan believes and acts like he's more grown-up than he really is (something inherited from Shinichi, of course) and he has a disdain for children in the same way that he hates himself. It's projection; unlike Shinichi, Conan has little agency over... well, anything in his life because he actually looks like a child, and children don't have authority over anything in the structure of the world-- a sentiment only reinforced by the way people treat him at first glance. It doesn't matter how cunning he actually is.

That said, since he sees no inherent worth in children due to their status at the very bottom of the food chain, they become pawns in his worldview: another means to an end. He tries to manipulate the Detective Boys more than once during the course of his story, and Ayumi especially is his object of amusement. As he becomes more arrogant, his behavior shifts to be more bully-like, and no child is spared.

I suppose children represent vulnerability to him and, since that is the very thing he's trying to escape, he simply hates them by proxy.

Tysm for the asks \ (•◡•) / This one got long! Question list here!!

A crossover between Detective Conan and bnha, where afo is that person who received eternal life with pandora's help. As a result, Izuku, like his son, helps Kaito take the stone from his father and destroy it.

- Bermuda/Nedzu anon

Oh, that sounds really interesting!

It does bring up the question of how Izuku knows about Pandora, though. And about the fact that AfO is his father. Well, somehow, he does.

Point is, Izuku, I think, would be more aligned for heroics in a crossover like this. But Kaito... Kaito is technically a villain. He's more annoying and mischievous than anything, yeah, like he is in canon Detective Conan, but I like to think he would still be labeled as a villain by the police and heroes. Shinichi is a different matter entirely, and probably thinks of Kaito as something closer to a vigilante, purely because I like these two being on friendly terms at the very least. And Shinichi, well, he's still obviously a detective, so he's working for the good side. Maybe he even knows Tsukauchi. Actually, maybe the whole cast of Detective Conan is just dumped to Musutafu, and we make it a big enough city to accommodate. Meaning that Tsukauchi works with Megure and the rest and so, he's familiar enough with Shinichi since this kid stumbles upon way too many crimes and sometimes Tsukauchi is the one who gets called in to deal with it.

Actually, what crimes does Tsukauchi investigate? Or does he just... investigate all of them? Surely he specializes in some type of crime, right?

Anyways. I say Shinichi wouldn't end up shrunken in this one, but hey, he might. He's not the most important part.

What's important is Izuku and Kaito, right?

Now, here's where things get interesting. Since Kaito is officially a villain, and Izuku is... I don't actually know. Perhaps raised by AfO, so raised by a villain? He's a vigilante at best, though. So, while he's doesn't like doing illegal things because he wants to be a hero, he would know how to do stuff like that. He's also really, really smart. So, he manages to gather enough information from one of the heists, and then he tracks Kaito down.

Not sure how their first meeting would go, but Kaito would freak out. Internally, of course. Because poker face. But he freaks out.

Anyways, this somehow leads to Izuku telling Kaito about where Pandora is. They start working together to get it and destroy it. Maybe at some point while they're doing that, Kaito realizes that hey, they might need some extra help, and who better to ask than Shinichi! He always helps him out, even if he has to help him out in turn. So maybe Shinichi somehow gets dragged along too, and then it's three geniuses versus AfO.

They get Pandora, of course. They get hurt in the process, but, well, that was a given. They end up destroying it, and Izuku is just so, so very happy. Kaito is happy it's all over, and Shinichi tells them both to just go and promises not to tell anyone about them or what happened because, you know, Shinichi is a reasonable guy who sometimes does some questionable things if it keeps those around him safe.

And so, it's a happy ending.

... Or is it? Because Pandora might be gone, but AfO is still immortal. Unless he had to regularly drink Pandora's tears, then nothing has really changed. All they've done is ensure no one else can become immortal like him.

AfO is still alive.

And he's either very much not happy... or then he is beyond amused.

Beyond amused at the idea that his son, Kaito Kid and the high school detective think they can steal what is his and not face the consequences.

#wow I started rambling #a new au perhaps?#I need a name for this I think #I really love the idea though #heist of a lifetime au #that's what we're calling this now

a list of every anime i love/recommend, accumulated over the last 10+ years

1. NATSUME YUUJINCHOU

SUMMARY/REVIEW:

The main character is a teenage boy named Natsume, whose parents died when he was too young to remember them properly. He’s passed around random relatives homes, but because he can see yokai (spirits), he’s ostracized by classmates and his foster families (ALL HIS CHILDHOOD FLASHBACKS ARE SO FUCKING SAD) and eventually very distant relatives (an older couple who never had kids of their own and have so much goddamn love to give D:!!!) take Natsume in, and the story basically starts from there.

It’s a very heart-warming story following Natsume’s new life in this new town, accepting his ability to see yokai, forging new relationships in the form of friends and family, and even with the yokai themselves.

This is honestly probably my favorite anime/manga period, because it’s so sad but so cathartic and you watch as the main character grows and learns to trust those around him, and finally gets the unconditional love he’s always deserved, not to MENTION THE FACT THAT THEY DO A WHOLE EP WHERE NATSUME IS TURNED BACK INTO A LITTLE KID AND IT IS SOOOO GOOD OMG

Plus for those of you who enjoy whump, this show has a decent amount of it. Mainly emotional whump, but also some episodes where Natsume is injured or sick--as well as I believe one where his companion (the chubby cat on his shoulder who’s actually a pretty badass yokai) gets shot with an arrow and is down for the count.

10/10 would and have watched again.

2. KODOCHA NO OMOCHA

SUMMARY/REVIEW: The main character is a sixth grader named Sana. She’s a gifted actress on a t.v. show everyone likes and she’s silly and fun, very intuitive and surprisingly empathetic for a child.

Her main problem is in school, where Akito, who she deems the leader of her class’ wolf pack of rowdy rude boys, lets them terrorize not just the teacher, but all the girls in class, as well.

I don’t really want to give a lot away, so I’ll just state the obvious. This anime/manga is shoujo, which means that it does focus on a romantic relationship throughout the series. Mainly the one between Sana and Akito. Sana is absolutely oblivious about her own feelings, while Akito is a stubborn little shit.

I remember watching this at like, age 12 maybe? And I really enjoyed it because (although I do enjoy your typical silly doesn’t take itself too seriously slice of life shoujo) this particular anime, while super funny and light hearted at times, was also really dramatic and even kinda dark, which was surprising considering the characters ages and the general kid-friendly vibe (especially the opening for the anime).

3. DETECTIVE CONAN

SUMMARY/REVIEW: Our main character is initially Shinichi Kudo, teenage detective, who’s on a date with childhood sweetheart Ran (whose father also happens to a detective but like....not a good one lmao), when his nosy ass self decides to go and check out some shady business and gets “poisoned”.

The poison he’s given is intended to kill him, but what it actually does is turn him back into a child. And now, as Conan Edogawa, (who’s 7 but like....we just supposed to believe all these cops and detectives on the force are cool with a seven year old wee lil babe on these really gruesome ass crime scenes??? lmaoooo) we follow him on his adventures as he solves crimes and tries to solve the biggest mystery of all, his own!

I absolutely LOVE this anime/manga, even though I’ll be honest, there is SO MUCH FILLER, but I like the characters enough that I really don’t mind. The show is at least 900+ episodes in at this point, and there are a total of 26 movies so far, last time I checked.

Also, the show is a whump fangirls’ dream come true. The main character is thrown out of windows, balconies, shot at, and in one occasion actually shot, he’s had broken bones, sprains, almost been blown up or drowned/burned, been sick, and oh, his occasional transformations from child to teenager are incredibly painful.

This show is probably at fault for my love of whump, since it was one of my first animes at like, age 9. smh.

4. THE DEVIL IS A PART-TIMER!

REVIEW:

I’m not even going to summarize this one. The title does it for me. This is truly one of the funniest animes I’ve ever seen. Motherfuckin Satan works at a McDonalds part time and it is the BEST.

Technically I would count this show as a kind of harem, but only because there are like three main girl characters after the overlord Satan himself. I usually dislike harem type animes but the way this is done is sooooo good I couldn’t resist.

I would watch a million filler episodes of Satan trying to solve problems at his minimum wage job tbh. I love every single character, I love the plot, I love everything about this anime! In terms of comedy (with the occasional plot driven serious moments) this is IT bro.

5. BLACK BUTLER

SUMMARY/REVIEW:

The main character is Ciel Phantomhive (roughly 14 years old). His parents are killed, his house is burned to ashes, and he’s kidnapped (around age 9 or 10 I believe) and abused. During this abuse Ciel calls upon a demon to free him and help him get revenge on those who harmed the Phantomhive household, which is where Sebastian, one “hell of a good butler” comes in.

We then follow Ciel and Sebastian on their path of vengeance, and along the way we meet Ciel’s human servants, three very clumsy and seemingly bad at their given tasks characters (i love them all), and some of his extended relatives and connections.

My favorite thing about Black Butler is the art, both in the anime and manga. Everything is so detailed and pretty!

The characters are interesting, the plot is dark but they manage to make most of the series overall pretty light-hearted and funny in general. Though of course there are chapters/parts of the series that get really grim (which duh, the whole thing focuses on revenge so...)

I have to say, the arc I enjoyed the most has to be the movie, Black Butler: Book Of the Atlantic. It is beautifully drawn and sooooooo entertaining.

6. INUYASHA

SUMMARY/REVIEW:

Our main characters are Inuyasha, a half-demon, who’s been in a sort of spiritually binding coma for the last few decades, and fourteen year old Kagome, who falls into an old well in her family’s shrine and finds herself being transported into another time period.

Together, she and Inuyasha travel across the lands in the feudal era to find the scattered shards of the shikon jewel, a powerful jewel which grants anyone who possesses it ultimate power.

I was too young to stay up and watch Inuyasha on adult swim, so my mom would tape the show on a VCR for me to watch the next day after school--yes, I’m old old. lmaoooo I ADORE this show.

It’s so good! It’s got everything! A tortured lil half-demon with a sad past who’s stubborn and rude but got a good heart! A fierce and equally as stubborn main protagonist, who’s whole ass family knows exactly where she goes off to??? and are supportive af????? like???? her mama packs her and her squad of demon/exorcist/demon hunter pals bentos?!?! lmao i love it.

The characters are awesome and funny and likable as all heck, and of course they all have their sad backstory, but like, unlike some animes (lookin at YOU Naruto) they don’t go mega overboard on it, at least not without some plot behind the episode.

7. YU YU HAKUSHO

SUMMARY/REVIEW:

Before I even start in on the summary, ya’ll should watch this soley bc of the cute ass 90′s style animation alone. LOOK AT ALL THAT SHINY HAIR!

ANYWAY. Main character is teenage hooligan and overall cutie pie Yusuke! He gets struck by a car and fucking DIES in the first episode after shoving a little boy out of the way, only to end up in the spirit world where the head honcho up there (who looks like a wee baby) tells him “Oh shit, didn’t expect you to like, actually do anything self-sacrificing EVER so like, you’re not on our list of people who were supposed to die today...”

And uh, I don’t wanna give anything away, so I’m just gonna say that if you haven’t seen this anime yet, you definitely should! It’s hilarious and dramatic, the fight scenes are very well done, all the side characters, who eventually become main characters are a blessing (specifically Hiei, who’ve I’ve had a crush on since I was 12) and the ending is a satisfying one, which you can’t really say for a lot of media.

8. CHRONO CRUSADE

SUMMARY/REVIEW:

I still get weepy when I think of this anime, so all I’ll say is it’s about a badass demon slaying nurse and her demon companion and some very tragic shit.

It’s a great anime overall, especially if you like crying yourself to sleep at night :)

9. GHOST HUNT

SUMMARY/REVIEW:

The main character is high school student Mai, who is hired by Naru, the head of a Shibuya psychic research, and together, with a group of questionable exorcists/psychics, they encounter paranormal phenomenons and some outright scary shit.

I’m not really a fan of the horror genre tbh but I do like mystery, and the series deals with that quite a bit. They deal with each case for several episodes so nothing feels too rushed.

The series is really fun in a creepy, wtf is that way. I recommend the manga, only because it’s more detailed in terms of plot than the anime.

10. ASSASSINATION CLASSROOM

SUMMARY/REVIEW:

I didn’t really make this list in any particular order but if I had to say, Assassination Classroom and Natsume Yuujinchou probably tie for BEST ANIME PERIOD!

This anime is about a weird ass “alien” creature, no one knows where it came from or why tf it’s here on earth, all they know is that in one year it’s threatened to blow the world up.

His only request to the government is that they let him become a teacher for Class E, the worst class of Kunugigaoka Junior High School, and he will stay put, so that they can attempt an assassination on him during this one year period.

AND LISTEN! I am a shallow hoe, so I literally never would have read this manga or watched the series had I not been roaming Barnes and Noble one day with my S.O. and picked it up to read as a JOKE!

I was hooked after the first chapter and I am soooooooo glad I picked this manga up, bc it is absolutely not the type I would normally go for, cover art wise. I finally, after many many years, learned not to judge a book by its cover bc LORD this anime is so goddamn good, you don’t understand! Like, I’ve watched it so many times and still laugh at the same parts, cry at the same parts, am proud af at the same parts! like, this anime is an instant classic and should definitely be more popular than it is.

assassination classroom and natsume yuujinchou????? MASTERPIECES!

#anime i can't imagine life without #natsume yuujinchou #assassination classroom #inuyasha #black butler #detective conan #whump #chrono crusade #ghost hunt #yu yu hakusho #the devil is a part-timer #kodocha #long post is long

What do you think of Eri as a mother? Of course, she loves Ran and Ran loves her, but I feel like a kind of absent mother (she only meets Ran once in a while), and sometimes a little cold with her daughter. Also, it doesn't seem to me the most sensible thing to allow Ran, who was just a little girl, to stay with Kogoro, considering how careless he is.

I have conflicted feelings about all Conan parents, because I love them as characters, but very much disagree with all of their parenting choices.

Honestly, there isn’t a single parent in this story who I think does a great parenting job. Except maybe Agasa, and he’s technically not a parent.

The Kudos? Watch me discuss it ad aeternum in my tag, but they’re not the best parents. Leaving their kid alone at 14 just to live somewhere else cause they felt like it??? Scaring the crap out of their son by pretending to kidnap him???? Those crazy motherfuckers.

Kogoro? I love him and his development but my man isn’t gonna be nominated for Father of the Year anytime soon, what with being an alcoholic and a womanizing idiot who can barely take care of himself. Sure he’s super protective of Ran and is capable of stepping up when he has to, but still, long way to go my friend.

Heizo and Shizuka??? Y’all he punched his own son. Things are not right.

The Miyanos? Entering a criminal organization and forcing their daughters to be a part of it even after their death?????? Are we fucking kidding???

Don’t even get me started on Mary Akai. That psychopathic bitch.

And Eri is also, unfortunately, added to the list. I love that she’s a strong, independent woman with a great job. I love that she’s a super intelligent female character on parr with Yusaku and Akai and even Shinichi. But, girl, you left your own daughter when she was, what? Six? Seven? You left her with her kinda good-for-nothing father and sort of kept in touch with her but not really? Yeah, she loves her and would also give her life for her and whatnot, but her parenting skills suck big time.

I’m not sure about Heizo and Shizuka, but maybe the reason the Kudos and Kogoro and Eri are such terrible parents is because they had kids when they were too fucking young. Maybe they weren’t ready for the responsibility. Maybe they thought it was something different. I don’t know, but honestly, I’m really fucking surprised your kids turned out to be the more than decent people they are after the rather questionable way you raised them.

Starting over

Last Detective Conan fic-- well, it’s a series, actually--, because I don’t like much the other ones that I haven’t mentioned yet.

So, today we have Starting over (which is a ridiculous name... but fitting), started back in 2015 and last updated in 2017. Another KaiShin... “story”, of course. More... well, below, as always.

Technically speaking, this series has an end. It’s also not quite complete, because I left several things up in the air that I planned to write... at some point... but, it’s finished with a proper ending, too. So, I’d... say it’s finished. Just... might receive some more parts at some point. But, really, only parts 1 & 7 (first and last) are quite necessary... or not even that, because they can all stand alone, so...

Like I mentioned, I started (over) back in 2015, when I was wondering how to get Kaito and Shinichi together after a canon where Conan manages to get back to his body. So, I wrote a one-shot with the two interacting after the whole antidote thing! Then, one year later, I decided, “ok, that wasn’t romantic at all, let’s give them some romance,” which is how Starting over (the series) began.

Since, I’ve written 5 other stories for the series. A meeting between Kaito and Yukiko, Shinichi and Ran breaking up (though they never actually dated), Shinichi meeting Kaito’s friends (+ the regional witch), Kaito being overprotective, and the aftermath of the break-up (with Ran, that is).

It’s a story that might grow at an point, but isn’t too likely, any more. I had plans, had things that I wanted to add (some Haibara, for example, and Yuusaku. Probably Chisaki, too, but not too sure there... oh, and some Tantei-dan, too), but I’ve since wandered off the fandom, and... while there is the chance I return to it at some point (like I said, the first story was posted in 2015, while the last update was in 2017, so it’s not like I never return to my old fandoms...), I don’t put much hope in it. Unfortunately.

But, like I said, it’s all very much complete, on its own. Most things added afterwards were just to build on the two morons growing closer, or things that might’ve stood in their way if I hadn’t... ah, decided to toss it to the side, at the beginning.

(mainly Ran. I mean. Ran and Shinichi are awful to each other, and I’ll stand by that no matter what. They are good friends? Yes. They work well as siblings? Yes. They work well as romantic partners? Hell no! What Shinichi did to Ran was just... ughhhh. I have so many feelings about it that, if I were to discuss it, better to make it a separate post, because it’d be a rant. Anyway, at least I liked what I did to Ran in this series. Really, we need to talk is one of my favourite stories in this series!)

So. Yes. That. If anyone has any interest in a post-canon KaiShin story(...ies), it’s here. Starting over, with the story of same name, yay. Go ahead and knock yourselves out, if you want to! (but also... take into consideration this thing wrote itself throughout 2-3 years, and my writing... changed. A bit --or lot-- in between as I grew up, so...)

#my fics #detective conan #magic kaito #kaishin #kuroba kaito #kudou shinichi #post-canon #romance #gods just realized i wasn't even in college when i began this #i'd almost forgotten that HAPPENED #that there was a time before college #wow

Pairing: ShinRan Rating: T Summary: "Warui, Ran. It's because of this summer heat, I swear -- It's making my head ache...and at that moment, I couldn't help but notice how kissable you were - even until now. Damnit."

-o-o-o-o-o-o-

It was a hot, Wednesday afternoon. Summer had just kicked in and everyone in Teitan High School was already planning their summer vacation since school term was nearing its end. Meanwhile, four people remained stuck in the school library. Shinichi, Ran, Sera, and Sonoko went there after homeroom in order to help Shinichi with the lessons he had missed while he was away, plus the extra credits the teachers fortunately gave him to make up for his absence.

“Mou, I can’t believe we’re stuck in the library helping Shinichi with his extra credits! I should be planning our beach trips or watching Makoto-san’s karate training right at this moment!” Sonoko scoffed, obviously annoyed.

“Well, Ran-san did say that Kudo-kun is going to treat us to a delicious ramen shop after this so why not?” Sera casually remarked.

“C’mon guys, it won’t take a while since Shinichi’s already smart, so let’s just do our best so we can finish early!” Ran justified. It was actually her who convinced the two girls to help Shinichi catch up with his backlog. She believed it would be more enjoyable, not to mention faster, if there were four of them doing the work rather than just her and Shinichi. More importantly, she wanted Shinichi to finish all this work so that it wouldn’t have to carry over during summer break.

A sulking Shinichi let out a big sigh. “Ran, I told you that it’s fine, no need to drag the others to help me.”

“Shinichi, the more people I invite, the faster we finish. Besides, you should be thankful they’re helping you! Who’s fault is it again that he’s missed almost one semester worth of classes?” Ran looked at him with half-lidded eyes.

“Barou—It’s not like I have a choice! You—” Shinichi was interrupted by the cold stare of the librarian at him, who was already pointing to the ‘Silence Please’ sign plastered on the wall.

Sonoko and Sera stifled their laughter. “There, there, no need to fight over this! Why don’t you just make up?” Sera requested them in a low voice.

“Anything for my Shinichi-kuuuun~~~ Now kiss! No one’s looking except us!” Sonoko teased, making both Ran and Shinichi blush and Sera laugh.

It had been two months since Shinichi returned to Ran permanently. They started dating officially ever since Ran manifested her acceptance to Shinichi’s London confession during their school trip in Kyoto. And now that they’re together, Ran found it relieving how she didn’t need to deny her feelings anymore to her friends whenever they tease her. In fact, it made her really happy that she could now openly express her fondness for Shinichi. They would hold hands during their walk home from school. They had even kissed, thrice, technically. Once on the cheek during their Kyoto trip, and another on the lips, albeit accidentally, on one fine spring afternoon while sitting under the cherry blossoms, during lunch period, when Ran suddenly looked to her left while Shinichi’s face was close to hers because he was removing a sakura petal from her hair. Although their lips only momentarily brushed against each other, their hearts pounded the loudest. Even louder than the time they almost kissed on the lips at Kiyomizudera temple. After that accidental kiss, the two of them stared at each other, with flustered faces, and after five seconds, they laughed. After their laughs subsided, they eventually found themselves kissing once more, this time longer and sweeter, with smiles curling in their lips as they did. The latter kiss was what they considered as their first official kiss as a couple.

Back in the library, the four of them had already sorted out the Calculus, English, and Chemistry books Shinichi needed. Sera and Shinichi placed the stacks of books on their table across the librarian. It appeared that they were the only ones remaining there, and most of the students had already gone home or were attending their after-school club activities. Ran had no karate training every Wednesday, that’s why she chose this day to help Shinichi out. In reality though, Shinichi really didn’t need help given his extraordinary intellect, but nonetheless Ran still insisted, being the caring and responsible girlfriend that she was. Shinichi could only do nothing but accept her assistance.

Only a week had passed since summer began, yet the heat felt like it was almost at its peak. The intense warmth and humidity defeated the air conditioner and ceiling fans inside the room. Shinichi was trying to concentrate on the Calculus textbook in front of him, but Sonoko and Ran, who were sitting across each other, distracted him with their toned down voices. He wasn’t even trying to eavesdrop but their conversation was easy enough to hear from where he sat. They were basically just talking about random girl stuff. But among other things, Shinichi couldn’t help but notice how Ran incessantly fanned herself with her hands during the whole conversation.

“Must be the weather,” Shinichi thought. He tried rereading the problem set in front of him, but surprisingly, he had a hard time concentrating. He kept on glancing back to where Ran sat, which was beside him. Ran, with the back of her hand, began to wipe the drops of sweat forming on her neck and under her chin. To Shinichi, looking at Ran do that was a strangely… interesting sight. He didn’t know why. Not even attempting to find an answer, he just shrugged it off and resumed answering the Calculus textbook.

Barely twenty minutes later, he was already more than halfway done with the Math coverage. Of course, that’s just Shinichi being Shinichi. Ran scooted closer to check on his progress, and upon seeing that he was almost done, Ran ruffled his bangs in front.

“Good job, Meitantei-san!” Ran praised. Shinichi pretended that it didn’t affect him so he muttered a silent “tch” under his breath. Deep down though, he had to admit that his heart jumped a bit when Ran patted his head.

“After that, you do English. Sonoko and I already marked the pages you need to answer. And after English, you’ll do Chemistry. Sera-san’s marking the exercises right now,” Ran instructed, even though she was desperately trying her best not to sound like a teacher or else Shinichi would make fun of her.

“Hai, hai, sensei,” Shinichi snorted. Too bad he already did, much to Ran’s annoyance.

Not long after, Shinichi finished all the assigned exercises for Math. Just as he was about to get the English book placed by Ran near his seat, Ran halted him.

“Hold on, I think I made a mistake, Shinichi. This English book is the wrong volume. I need to find the correct one. Let me just go look for it.”

“All right, I’ll help you,” Shinichi remarked. This earned him a smile and a thank you from Ran.

Shinichi stood up, stretched his arms and back, and accompanied his girlfriend to the shelves area to look for the correct book. Ran started browsing the area behind the first shelf, so Shinichi went to the row of shelves after it. Upon reaching that area, he noticed that this portion of the room was warmer than where the tables were. Apparently, the air conditioning unit on this side of the room was broken, so it wasn’t really doing anything except making Shinichi even more pissed. Shinichi was already hating this summer heat. He couldn’t wait to go home, turn the AC on in his own library, and read Sherlock Holmes for the nth time to his heart’s content. But for now, he had no choice but to tolerate this inferno. Ran wouldn’t let the four of them go unless he’d finish half of his total backlog today.

Ran was already done searching the first row of shelves, so she proceed to the next row where Shinichi was currently at. Ran was at the farther end of the shelf near the windows overlooking the school field, while Shinichi remained on the left end side nearer the library card catalog. They were two bookshelves away from the table occupied by Sonoko and Sera. Shinichi could see the two girls from the spaces left by the uneven height of the books on the shelves. Both of them seem to be minding their own business. Books and bags were scattered on the table. Sera was now concentrating on a mystery novel she found earlier, while Sonoko had her attention on her phone and was browsing social media.

Upon reaching the second aisle and before Ran resumed her search, she asked Shinichi if he had already found the book, to which the boy replied in the negative. Ran sighed, and eventually she transferred her attention to the lineup of books in front of her. Shinichi looked at her from afar.

Even from a distance of three shelves away, Shinichi noticed that Ran was also starting to get irked by the hot temperature. Her eyebrows were furrowed and her mouth formed a small frown. He also couldn’t avoid noticing the moisture formulating on the side of her face. Shinichi stared at the sweat which trickled down Ran’s forehead. The sweat traced a line down her cheek, then her jaw, then down her neck until it settled on the crook of her collarbone…

Shinichi gulped.

He didn’t notice how long he had been staring until Ran called his name.

“Shinichi? Are you okay?” Ran quizzically looked at Shinichi with her ever innocent eyes.

“O-oh, sorry, I just spaced out…” Shinichi struggled to look for an excuse and tried to hide the flustered look on his face. Of course he couldn’t possibly say that he was admiring her face, and how… appealing it looks, even more with sweat running down on it!

“Ugh, damn this heat. It’s making me sweat a lot.” Ran sighed as she struggled to remove her blazer uniform, thereby leaving her with her white long sleeve shirt and green tie. This caught Shinichi off guard, who found himself staring again.

Shinichi could see that the sweat made Ran’s white shirt semi-opaque. He could almost make out of it the straps and corners of her bra. Ran unbuttoned the two top buttons of her shirt to reveal more of her skin but still careful not to expose what’s beneath it further. Ran just wanted some air amidst the scorching heat. Yet no matter how innocent her intentions were, to Shinichi’s mind, he knew for sure that Ran’s acts were making him feel some type of way.

“Damn right it is…” Shinichi muttered under his breath, earning him a curious stare from Ran.

Ran seemed like she was about to say something but then decided against it on the last minute. She shrugged, placed her uniform on one of the stepladders piled with books, and finally resumed her business at the other end of the bookshelf by the window, trying to find the book she needed.

Meanwhile, Shinichi stood there and was already mentally cursing himself. “Goddamnit, Kudou! Get your shit together! You’re looking like a pervert right now ogling at her like this!” Shinichi ruffled his hair trying to shake off all the provocative things swarming his mind. This is not the right time, damn it. Not the right time… but was it just his imagination that from his peripheral view, he could see Ran glancing at his direction? Was it just his imagination that Ran’s face showed hints of red? Was it just the sun that’s making her face look even more rosy and beautiful, even when he’s just seeing all of these from the corner of his eye?

Shinichi finally decided to take a good look at Ran. He was surprised to see that indeed, Ran was staring back at him. With red cheeks and pleading eyes. Almost as if she was wanting Shinichi to say something, or do something. Or…

“Ran? Is something the matter?” Shinichi finally spoke.

“Ah—Well, I, umm…I can’t quite reach this book on the top shelf…” Ran shyly cooed, pointing at the thick book on top of the shelf, entitled HS Intermediate English: Volume 3.

“There’s a stepladder beside you, you know,” Shinichi remarked.

“But it’s filled with books and it might take time to remove all and place them back right after,” Ran pouted. Seeming to have regretted her request, she followed up, “…But oh well, I’ll just do it myself.”

Shinichi chuckled softly. “Just kidding. Here, let me get it for you.”

Shinichi approached Ran until they were only about 10 centimeters apart. Ran could almost feel her heart jump out of her chest as Shinichi rested his left arm on her left shoulder, so that she was between Shinichi and the bookshelf. Shinichi’s face was so close to Ran’s right cheek and she swore that this distance was making her feel things out of the ordinary. Shinichi tiptoed a little and extended his right arm to reach the book on top of the shelf. Ran looked up to glance at Shinichi’s face, and she was not quite sure if what she saw was a blushing Shinichi, or a Shinichi whose face reflected the red shades of the sun. She also noticed that Shinichi was perspiring. Unlike her, he still had his thick blue school blazer on, and Ran thought that it must be why Shinichi was sweating so much. The summer heat was really taking a toll on them.

Shinichi finally got the book and as he was about to hand it to her, he froze.

Without warning, Ran’s hand unconsciously moved to unbutton Shinichi’s blazer. Slowly. One button at a time.

Wide-eyed Shinichi stared at oblivious Ran.

Silence.

…

“Omae—” Shinichi really didn’t know what to say. His face was already as red as a tomato at this point.

Ran didn’t realize the gravity of her actions until she noticed her hands in front of her, almost done unbuttoning the whole of Shinichi’s school blazer. She flushed.

“Wah—“

Now Ran didn’t know what to say either.

“I’m– I’m sorry, I just saw how drenched you were in sweat while you were getting the book, so I wanted to remove your blazer to cool you do—”

Ran didn’t finish her sentence as she was interrupted by Shinichi’s one hand on her left wrist and the other on the back of her waist, pulling her close to press his lips against hers.

Ran’s heart leaped.

“Shinichi—what on earth…!”

Her brain was screaming for her heart. Shinichi was right in front of her, and his lips were covering hers.

She tried to steady her footing as she was about to lose her balance, but then Shinichi’s hand behind her supported her and helped her adjust her position, and this pushed her even closer to him, removing any inch of space left.

Just as she was about to completely process what was happening and before she could close her already half-opened eyes to reciprocate, she heard a voice at the other end of the room.

“Hey, Ran-san and Kudo-kun? Daijoubu? What’s that loud sound?” Sera whispered loudly from her chair, so as not to irk the librarian more than that how loud sound already did.

Alarmed, the two teenagers broke off the kiss. Shinichi didn’t even notice that he dropped the book Ran asked him to get and that it made a loud, echoing noise on the marble floor of the silent library. He didn’t notice how he dropped it before his own hands instinctively pulled Ran to him.

“N-nothing! Shinichi just dropped a book…” a nervous Ran replied, bobbing her head from behind the bookshelves to see Sera. She was evidently trying her best to sound normal, and luckily, Sera didn’t notice anything suspicious from her voice. From the spaces in the bookshelves, Shinichi and Ran had a good view of the table, and there they could see Sera’s dismissive expression as she went back to the book she was reading.

Little did Sera know that from behind these bookshelves, Ran and Shinichi were struggling to regain their composure from what literally transpired just one minute ago. Shinichi had already removed his hands from Ran’s waist and wrist, and was now facing the wall on the other side, hiding his embarrassment. Shinichi had his head bowed, his right hand scratching his nape and his left hand on his waist. Was he regretting what he did…? Ran thought to herself.

While Ran was lost in thought, she and Shinichi were again startled by Sera’s voice. Although a bit soft, it was audible from two shelves away. “Ran-san, I’ll just go to the toilet for a while. Sonoko-san stepped out of the library a minute ago to receive a call from Makoto-san, and I don’t think she’ll be back soon. Telling you this just in case you’d wonder where we went! Of course, we’re not going to ditch you and Kudo-kun’s treat later!”

Sera paused for a moment, and then added, “…Damn this summer, isn’t it so hot?” before she finally marched away from the two reddened couple.

Sera had noooo idea.

Ran’s attention went back to the guy in front of him, who was now half-facing her although his eyes were still directed to the bookshelf. Now, save for the librarian, it’s just the two of them in the library. They could hear loudly the sound of the ceiling fan and the distant noise of students playing soccer outside.

“Sorry, Ran, my bad…” Shinichi finally spoke his first words.

Ran gave Shinichi a relatively long, questioning look before she replied. “Shinichi… what for?”

“…Eh?” Shinichi might not have expected that kind of reply from her. He was expecting more of along the lines of “Shinichi, what did you just do??” or “Baka Shinichi!!” Yet, Ran didn’t. So he just stood there, looking at her, with one eyebrow raised, and very much confused.

“Ha-ha-ha. This clueless, idiot boyfriend,” Ran sighed and her expression softened. She couldn’t contain herself so she let a cute giggle escape from her lips. Ran inched closer to him. Shinichi did as well.

“You’re not mad…?” Shinichi asked.

Ran inhaled deeply before answering. “I mean… we’re already dating, so isn’t it pretty normal to kiss like lovers do?” she said, tilting her head to the side. Shinichi blushed at his girlfriend’s statement.

“It’s just that… given the sequence of events, I got startled with what I did… I’m sorry, I mean…you were just so close to me getting that book and I noticed your sweat trickling down your face, so I wanted to help by unbuttoning your uniform… but I did it without any warning… and then what you did after…you kissed me… inside the library, a public place with the possibility that other people might see…and then I actually thought Sera-san saw us so I quickly pushed you back…” Ran stammered, her face getting one shade redder upon remembering what just happened.

This time, Shinichi was the one trying to contain his grin. “Warui, Ran… It’s because of this summer heat, I swear… It’s making my head ache…and at that moment, I couldn’t help but notice how kissable you were… even until now. Damnit.”

When he said that, Shinichi’s eyes landed on Ran’s lips, but then he quickly managed to look at someplace else like the shelf before Ran could even realize where he was actually staring.

Again, silence.

Shinichi glanced back at Ran. Ran stared back, never removing her eyes away from him. This time, Shinichi was absolutely sure that Ran was indeed blushing. And he could feel himself blushing, too.

Tension filled the air as the two teenagers closed their distance even more.

Ran broke the silence first. “…Shinichi, look at your sweat! Wait, let me get my handkerchief.” She rushed to her blazer resting on top of the stepladder and pulled out a handkerchief from its pocket. She walked back to Shinichi and started wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Ran and Shinichi were aware of the close proximity of their faces. Ran was holding Shinichi’s arm and the other was holding the handkerchief. Shinichi stared at Ran while the latter wiped the sweat dripping down the side of his face. Ran was staring, too, simultaneously at the spot she was wiping and then at his hazel eyes. The look in his eyes was something she had never seen before, and she could feel it bear a hole on her own. It was enthralling. Some kind of energy was building up in between their gaze, and they could very much feel it within them.

Not daring to break their eye contact, Shinichi removed the already unbuttoned blazer from his body. Ran couldn’t help but steal a glance at his white polo shirt, some of its fabric sticking to his skin because of the sweat, and she unconsciously bit her lip when she saw some of his toned muscles through them.

Shinichi carelessly let his blazer fall to the floor.

“It’s getting hotter, so…” Shinichi muttered, his face inching closer to Ran’s.

“Yeah…” whispered Ran under her breath, tilting her head up slowly to meet Shinichi’s.

For the second time of the day, their lips locked perfectly. Ran let go of the handkerchief, and that free hand had now snaked its way behind Shinichi’s neck while her other arm was on his chest. Shinichi’s hands gripped Ran’s waist gently. They were such an exquisite fit. Save for the white noise in the library, their heartbeats merging were the only sound they could hear. Slowly, their lips started moving, careful not to make very loud kisses in case anyone was within hearing range.

Ran slightly opened her mouth to breathe, and this gave Shinichi the opportunity to put his tongue inside it. Ran moaned at such foreign feeling. It startled her and made her knees weak. Never did it occur to her that Shinichi could be this bold. As if competing with her boyfriend, Ran did the same to him, and she felt her boyfriend’s hair stood at its end. They let their tongues linger in each other’s mouths, familiarizing themselves with each other’s taste. The hand at the back of Shinichi’s neck was now buried on the latter’s hair, massaging it rhythmically in accordance with their kisses. This kiss was strangely satisfying and entirely different from the first one they shared under the sakura tree. That one was shy and sweet. This one was daring and fierce.

Ran didn’t realize until two minutes into their heated exchange that Shinichi had already trapped her between him and the bookshelf. Shinichi’s arm was resting against the shelf while his right hand was still on his girlfriend’s waist. Shinichi was holding her so possessively now that Ran was pretty sure his fingers would leave a mark on her back. Both of Ran’s hands had already cupped Shinichi’s face, giving her the control of how deeper she’d want their kiss to be. Shinichi let out a gasp when Ran bit the bottom of his lips playfully. He paused, looked at Ran, whose eyes remained semi-closed from being drunk in their passionate lip-locking session. Shinichi smirked at such sight before he claimed her lips again.

Kudou Shinichi and Mouri Ran, hidden in between the tall shelves of the library of Teitan High School, kissing. No, making out. If someone found out about this, they’d be the talk of the whole school for months. Their classmates wouldn’t let this go for sure. Shinichi could just imagine the faces their classmates would make and the incriminating questions that would follow.

But for some reason, right now, Shinichi didn’t seem to care. Neither did he want to stop. And looking at Ran… it seemed…she didn’t want to stop, too?

“Shinichi… we have roughly five minutes…until they return…” Ran purred in between the short breaths from their kisses. Shinichi just let out a gruntled “nn” and a slight nod from his head, still engaged in their lip-locking session.

“Shinichi…did you hear m—” Ran didn’t finish her sentence because she was interrupted by Shinichi biting her left ear. She almost made a loud sound, but Shinichi was able to suppress it with two fingers over her lips. Shinichi then leaned close to her ear, making Ran shiver. In a low voice, he said, “Yes, Ran, I heard you…That’s why let’s make those five minutes count.”

Shinichi this time traced butterfly kisses on Ran’s cheek, chin, jaw, and corners of her lips, until he went lower. Ran tilted her head to the right to give him more access to her neck. She didn’t know anymore if the sweat on her neck was because of the summer heat, or because of their activity, or both. While keeping himself busy planting kisses on the spot between Ran’s neck and shoulder, Ran instinctively put one leg around Shinichi, making Shinichi jolt. He actually felt something below him rise. This cause Shinichi to suck on Ran’s neck hard, leaving a mark on her skin. Ran, on the other hand, gasped at the sensation. Shinichi licked it to appease her, and Ran moaned. They were having too much fun. This was all new to Ran, and she knew that this was new to Shinichi, too. She decided to tease him a little more by moving the leg wrapped around Shinichi higher. She was able to elicit an airy groan from him, and Ran sneered in satisfaction. Once again, they captured each other’s lips, this time, hungrily. Ran could almost taste her own sweat from Shinichi’s tongue. Shinichi’s kiss was driving her to the edge. Not long after, Ran felt Shinichi’s hand fumbling its way inside her shirt. His touch was cold on her skin, a stark contrast with the warmth of the season. His hand settled at the bottom of her torso.

Ran got nervous. She knew in her mind that this was all too sudden, and her heart was racing so fast that she felt like it was going to burst any second. But when she semi-opened her eyes during their session to steal a glance at Shinichi, what she saw almost drove her to the brink of madness. He was sweating, the beads of sweat intensely rolling down his forehead. His eyes were closed, but even if it was, she could sense the desire emanating from him while he kissed her hard. In the moments where they would briefly separate to breathe, she could see his moist, red lips, a little bit swollen from her playful bites. The strands standing out from his hair already messy from her grasp reflected the sunset’s orange hues. And his lean body was so tightly pressed against her, giving her more than just butterflies. Shinichi was hot. And this caused her to feel a strange, warm sensation building below her stomach. She couldn’t believe she was really doing this with Kudou Shinichi, her childhood friend turned boyfriend. The mystery freak who only seemed to care about solving crimes and catching culprits was right here in front of her, with his guard down like a normal teenager, his hair and clothes in disarray, savoring the moment and not minding anything else as he made out with the only girl who could turn him like this.

Seeing her boyfriend in that state made the room hotter than it already was. And it was turning her on so freaking much, especially when she knew it was no other than her, Mouri Ran, who was causing him to be this way.

Shinichi slightly tugged the hem of Ran’s shirt. By this time, her white polo shirt was not anymore tucked inside her skirt. Ran’s brain had already given up control over her faculties, and her hands now had a mind of its own. One hand grabbed Shinichi’s hand touching her back, in order to guide it to her front. At first, Ran felt Shinichi’s hand hesitate under her own from this sudden bold gesture on her part, but eventually he complied. Now, Shinichi’s hand was settling on the side of her stomach. With every kiss, tilt of head, and gasp for air, his hand would travel her delicate skin half a centimeter north.

Shinichi continued moving his hand upwards, massaging Ran’s skin until he felt something lacy at the tip of his thumb. He clearly recognized what it was. Slowly, he opened his eyes to look at the girl breathing heavily in front of him. Without saying anything, he stared at her eyes pleadingly, raised his eyebrows with a matching bob of the head, as if requesting for her permission to continue. With her half-opened mouth and impious gaze, Ran nodded faintly, and with this, he fully understood that she meant it was okay to proceed.

And so he did.

Still maintaining their ardent eye to eye contact, he snaked his hand inside the lacy fabric…slowly….

Until they heard footsteps and humming faintly approaching.

One.

Two.

Three.

It took three seconds for them to finally realize everything.

Crap! That’s Sonoko!

The eyes of the two, which were filled with desire seconds ago, now mutually screamed panic. They had no excuse if someone, moreso Sonoko, saw them like this. With their appearance – Shinichi’s disheveled hair and swollen lips, his blazer scattered on the floor, Ran’s wrinkled and untucked shirt, and that fresh bite mark near her collarbone – Sonoko would obviously know what’s up. Ran, in that moment, wished she could teleport to the bathroom and hide in one of the stalls to fix herself. But she had no time to make such wishful thinking. She needed to fix herself fast or else Sonoko would witness them in this awkward situation. As swift as the wind, Shinichi withdrew his hand from under Ran’s shirt, released the trapped Ran, and backed two steps away from her. He hastily combed his hair with his fingers using the reflection of the window beside him as his mirror. Ran, on the other hand, frantically smoothed out her creased white shirt and tucked its hem under her skirt. Thankfully, the mark Shinichi left on her neck could be covered by her school uniform if fully buttoned. Afterwards, Ran repeatedly slapped her cheeks with her two hands in attempt to regulate her breathing and regain her composure. At that time, Shinichi had already fixed himself and was wearing his blazer once more. He picked up the English book and the handkerchief on the ground, then tiptoed to Ran to hand her the latter. Shinichi smiled and gave her a quick forehead kiss before finally walking out to greet their other friend. Funny how they did all of this in ten seconds or less.

Shinichi emerged first before Sonoko could even reach the aisle where the two hid. Carrying with him the English book, he greeted Sonoko as casually as possible. He didn’t look her in the eye. He just wanted to reach their table before their friend could make sense out of his flushed cheeks and plumper lips. When he passed by Sonoko, he lowered his head a little, licked his lips and pursed it together in order to conceal any hints of his previous, erm, activity with Ran.

Upon reaching his seat, Shinichi took a deep breath, stared into space for a few seconds, then turned his gaze to the direction of the shelves. Sonoko’s attention was already on Ran, who had emerged from the shelves shortly after he did. The two girls stood at the edge of the row of shelves near the card catalog, and Sonoko was gleefully narrating something to Ran, but Shinichi couldn’t understand what it was. However, he believed it was safe to assume that Sonoko had no slightest clue of what just happened, as she was so engrossed telling a story to Ran, who was only pretending to listen.

Shinichi’s eyes reverted to the shelves. He blinked.

“Over there, a while ago, Ran and I were…”

He stopped his thoughts and shut his eyes. He needed to get his shit back together and resume with his work. He hoped, though, that he would be able to concentrate.

Sighing one last time, he opened the textbook and began answering.

----

Shinichi finished both English and Chemistry exercises in half an hour. The sun had almost set and the sky had already turned wine red, signifying that it was almost evening. The temperature had now dropped a bit but nevertheless it was still warm. While Shinichi was focused on the exercises, Sera and Sonoko were busy chatting with each other, and at some point the librarian even approached them to shush them. But Ran, during the whole time, was just staring blankly at the pile of books in front of her, as if in a trance. Sera noticed her unusual silence, so she interrupted Sonoko’s talk and waved her hand in front of Ran’s face across the table to ask her what was wrong. With that, Ran snapped back to reality.

“It’s nothing, Sera-san!” she exclaimed. Sera wasn’t convinced, so Ran struggled to find an excuse. “Uh…I’m just hungry,” she retorted.

Sera took her answer well after noticing her own hunger herself. “Come to think of it, my stomach is rumbling, too. But I think Kudo-kun is already finished so we’re going to eat ramen soon!”

True enough, Shinichi had already stacked all textbooks together and had placed them in the returning rack while the three girls were conversing. This signaled the others to pack their stuff and clear the table. Slowly but surely, Shinichi walked towards Ran as she was closing her bag. Once he was beside her, he cleared his voice.

“You okay, Ran?” he asked.

Ran looked at him. Streaks of red color on their cheeks resurfaced.

“…Y-yes,” Ran responded shyly. Their gazes locked one more time. From each other’s eyes, they saw the events from earlier flash back.

Yet instead of looking away, they both smiled.

“Ooohh would you look at that! Ne, did something happen while I was away??” Sonoko suggestively raised her eyebrow at Ran and Shinichi.

“What are you talking about!” Ran defended as the four walked out the door. Sera and Sonoko continued to tease Ran while Shinichi kept a disinterested face behind them, but his blushing cheeks betrayed him.

After they stepped out of the room, the lone librarian stood up from her station and went to the door. Watching the group from a distance, she gave a particularly long look at the unsuspecting Shinichi and Ran. The corner of her lips tilted up to form a smirk, and she shook her head left and right as she observed the four students disappear into a corner at the end of the corridor.

“These young people…” she mumbled before closing the library door.

CoAi Secret Santa Post (Finally!)

Hello hello~ this is Rice here, posting this to my giftee, @toxicvirgo08! I’m sorry this came as late as it is... though technically and arguably it is on time within my timezone, it might be out of bounds in your area. If it is, I truly apologize. A lot of stuff happened like my PC breaking (of course I’d bent a damn gold pin while putting in my cpu) but regardless, here it is and I hope you enjoy!

———————————————————————————————————

“Kudo-kun… Kudo-kun!”

Snapping out of his previous daydreams, Kudo Shinichi, better known in his current child form as Edogawa Conan shook his head and found himself level with the gaze of Haibara Ai.

“Were you even listening to anything I was saying?”

Conan could only fumble an apology over his embarrassment. “Ah… sorry Haibara, I was just a little preoccupied.”

She could only respond with her ever famous sigh, wondering what he could be so focused on when he was the one that approached her for this technology lesson. Although she applauded his efforts to learn more about computers and coding in an attempt to stop any Black Organization member from hacking them, it would all be in vain if he didn’t pay attention, even if it was just the last ten minutes. Though, sparing a glance at the dutiful notes he took for the better part of an hour did make her soften her stance a bit, as well as experience a small rush of pride, not that she’d ever admit it to him.

“Well it doesn’t matter too much at this point. I think that’ll do for today’s lesson on basic coding and reading code. Any questions, my ‘star’ pupil?” Haibara teased.

“Hey! I was doing great until the last few minutes, go easy on me. Besides, I’m amazed you know so much about computers. Are you sure you’re actually 18?” Conan joked back.

Feeling a little coy, she responded “I already told you Conan-kun, I’m 18. Just the perfect age for you,” giving him a smirk as she turned to leave the room. Of course, she was sure to turn slowly enough that she could see the light pink dusting on his cheeks. Satisfied with her results, she left the room and turned the corner to head downstairs and maybe enlist Hakase’s help in making a good dinner tonight.

Still in his room, Conan could hear Ai’s fading voice exclaiming “Hakase! Where are you?” as she stepped downstairs to find their mentor. Staring at the blank wall, he let out a thoughtful sigh as he considered his next options. Becoming lost in his thoughts again, he started pacing around the room. “Hmm I don’t know if she would find it lame or cute, but I guess there’s no telling unless I-“

“Oh by the way Conan-kun?” A voice came from behind him.

“Ack! Don’t surprise me like that Ai,” he exclaimed, turning to face his companion and partner. “Anyway, what’s up? I thought you went downstairs to find the Hakase.”

“I did,” She replied. “But I also remembered, you don’t have to help with dinner preparations tonight. I’m planning on making something special so don’t step into the kitchen until I call you, okay?”

“Huh… okay Haibara” was his confused reply.

Noting the shift in his usage of her name, she playfully asked “What’s the matter Conan-kun? I thought you were following my lead and going by first name basis now. Was I wrong?”

“Oh I did call you Ai,” breathed Conan. “Sorry, I didn’t realize the slip up there.”

Haibara was a bit shocked and disappointed by his response. But in retrospect, she should’ve known that dense detective would completely misinterpret her statement. Realizing that, she could only quitely stammer out a “Never mind… I just liked it better when you called me Ai.”

“If that was the case, then you should’ve just told me so. I don’t have a problem calling you Ai, we’re so close after all!” exclaimed Conan, completely oblivious to her inner turmoil.

“A-anyway, just don’t come down until I call for you, okay?” And with that, Haibara practically dashed out of Conan’s bedroom in an attempt to escape her embarrassment coming from the object of her affections.

Conan called out to her retreating figure, “Got it! I’m going to be tinkering around with my laptop anyway, maybe put your lessons today to good use.” After closing his door, he returned to his desk. Contrary to popular belief, even Conan wasn’t so dense as to be unaware of Haibara’s feelings towards him. At first, he didn’t know how to deal with it, but eventually he accepted and even came to return those feelings, bringing him back to his present day predicament. But what was a good way to confess to her? Finally deciding upon a confession idea following the previous conversation, he promptly began coding a cute animation that he desperately hoped she would like.

Meanwhile, Haibara was scrambling to make preparations. After some searching downstairs, she found a note from Hakase stating that he would be out for the night and left them some money for delivery. Snorting at his lack of faith in her cooking skills(that she found disturbing), she decided to pocket the money for another occasion and began emptying the fridge of some of its contents. Tonight, she determined, would be the night she would truly impress him. It was the one way she could silently express her feelings without him ever knowing, after all. Haibara loved Conan, yes. But having such a dark past also made her fear rejection from the one she saw as her savior. So she decided to keep a lid on her feelings, even though sometimes she couldn’t help but express them through jokes and actions such as sleeping on his shoulder or teaching him basic coding.

Breaking out of her stupor, she began concentrating on her cooking to prepare one of his favorite meals. She tasted her creation throughout the entire process, making sure the balance of ingredients and seasoning were up to her standards. At the same time, Conan was frantically typing away to make sure his animation-confession was also up to his standards and fixing bugs that happened when compiling the code. Unbeknownst to each other, both Conan and Haibara finished their respective works at around the same time. Just as Conan was feeling satisfied with his finished code, he heard Haibara call out to him.

“Conan-kun! Come down for dinner, everything is ready!” she shouted

“Alright Ai!” came from an excited Conan.

Running downstairs, he was met with the sight of a rather intimate dinner setting, with a few candles on the table and a pesto pasta dish that appeared scrumptious. Eager to dig in, he was stopped by Haibara who all but whispered “Don’t eat too much, I’ve made your favorite for your dessert as well.”

His eyes widened at the sound of that. “That must’ve taken a lot of effort,” he breathlessly spoke. “Thank you Ai, today gave me a lot of good memories. And I hope I can make a really good one tonight as well.”

Now it was her turn to be surprised at his declaration.

“What do you mean Conan-kun?”

But to her disappointment, she was only met with a sly smile and a rather infuriating but charming wink as he started eating their dinner. Deciding to let him have his fun for now, she decided to eat as well. Succeeding a serving of lemon pie for dessert, the two sat there for a while, simply soaking up each other’s presence and company. It was a rare kind of companionship that could bring satisfaction even without any exchange of words. After a while though, Conan surprised Haibara yet again by gently grasping her hand and pulling her upstairs.

“Come on Haibara,” he quietly remarked. “There’s something I want to show you.”

Deciding this would finally unravel the mysterious comment he set up earlier, Haibara quickly followed his footsteps up to his bedroom. Upon entering, she saw that the computer screen was lit and that Conan was clicking away at a few things.

“Alright, here we go. Before I show you this though, I have to tell you a few things Ai.”

Haibara raised her eyebrows, opting to stay silent and let him continue speaking.

“I know you’ve loved me for a while now. Years, in fact. At first I didn’t return those feelings but after everything we’ve gone through and experienced together, well, things started changing little by little. One day, I came to the realization that I needed you in my life just as much as you needed me. So… here’s my confession to you,” he nervously rambled. Conan then stepped away from the computer, only to reveal the screen that depicted an animation of a rose fading into the background and a simple but heartfelt phrase appearing on the screen.

“Ai love you. - Conan”

Her blush was as red as the rose that just appeared, but her smile was undeniable and glowing. For once, she decided to truly express her feelings, no holds barred and nothing held back.

“I love you too Conan.”

Thus came a stronger partnership between the two, an almost perfect kind of bond where one would get the other even without having to speak. And they were content with it, as well as one another.

In your opinion, who do you think has the most chemistry between the characters? Or whose interactions do you like the most?

I mean. I’d be lying if I didn’t say Kid and Conan’s dynamic wasn’t one of my faves, but in that same vein they aren’t one I’d say has chemistry, so those questions do go in very different directions. XD

Heiji and Shinichi works for both. Ran and Shinichi I feel do have good chemistry, but them technically being together all the time and general situation makes their interactions with him as Shinichi... less impactful, in my eyes. In my re-read, Kogoro and Sonoko actually have some pretty great interaction (Sonoko in general plays off well with many characters). And then there’s like. Amuro and Akai. I’m not interested in shipping them like a lot of people are, but they’re so in sync even with Amuro hating Akai’s guts it’s hard to say they have no chemistry, even if just incidental.

*flops*

It’s hard to have just one answer, actually. I think about character personality and how they interact with people a lot, even when not actually analyzing. Literally, was reading the red shirt case and just casually thinking. ‘I love how both Akai and Bourbon are also looking over everyone’s shoulders to solve the case themselves. Akai knows Conan is there, so he’s probably just curious and concerned about Jodie in the bg. Amuro is impatient and trying to move things along because he’s in disguise as someone who is both his most hated person and is possibly dead, he doesn’t need to be milling about with a bunch of random people while this famous idiot is still trying to figure this out. Omg you can pretty much see Akai going ‘oh frick, he’s right there, I shouldn’t be looking at the shirts and back off before he sees me’, and of course he’s gone when Bourbon does look over.’

So I like... most interactions in terms of bursts of quality. Chemistry is randomly sprinkled in and really depends on who you’re wanting to look at. Bias will go with anything with Kid and most Heiji and Shin moments. V:

#Anon #Even something super common like DB interactions there's still moments that randomly pop out to me and I get happy #Ranging from 'that time Kobayashi realizes they're detectives' and as soon as Conan finds a body #The rest are like 'don't come in; you might become a suspect'#'Phone the police; because they're more likely to listen to an adult than us kids'#That casual experience showing even if they get shown up by Conan and Haibara often #But the other range is 'those moments where Haibara is invested in solving something with the kids without relying on Conan'#'Because asking him to explain it is like admitting defeat right now'#/Agasa going 'wait; you're not saying Eri's the criminal-!' and Conan 'um; no; they're just using her video...'/#Good small moments abound; best ones usually involve one person being an idiot tbh; but still

You have been offered an exorbitant sum of money to (somehow) remake Detective Conan as a mecha series. What Do You Do?

Firstof all, I would take that money.

Theadaptation would be a compressed one, because in general mecha shows do not runfor quite as long as Detective Conan. I would be focusing on including thecast, the most important themes, and the most enjoyable tropes from theoriginal show.

This post is a monster so I’m adding a readmore.

Iactually thought about this over the course of the week, and I think I have aworkable concept. The setting is Tokyo circa 30XX A.D., and most people haveone or more robots, which are not sentient, but can be controlled via neuraluplink technology. Robots are registered to individual users, so in an idealsituation, everyone is only using their own robots. But the truth is that it’srelatively easy to find and access methods of briefly taking control of a robotthat doesn’t belong to you– these methods are how people loan out theirtechnology and they also get used for pranks pretty frequently. Of course,commandeering a robot is also the most common method of committing crimes.After all, why bother committing a crime in person when you can use a metal exoskeletonwith no fingerprints and inhuman strength?

Withmost crime being carried out via robots, most crime-fighting is carried out thesame way. Police officers and detectives still exist, but they’ve largely beensupplanted by a robot-piloting Robot Crimes Department (RCD) in charge ofintervening in robot crimes when they happen, and a squad of computer andneural uplink experts tasked with tracking the digital aspects of the crimes.The police come to the crime scene last, and no one really expects them to domuch.

Shinichiand Ran were in training for the RCD together until the day Shinichi ran off atthe amusement park. Being a child in this setting presents differentchallenges. Technically, he still has access to neural uplink technology, butit hasn’t been tested on children of his physical age, and he generallyexperiences adverse physical symptoms (exhaustion, dizziness, pain) if he usesit for an extended period of time. Additionally, he still has difficultygetting most people to take them seriously.

Exceptfor the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, which is underfunded, floundering,and will at this point take help from anyone, including a small, bored geniuswho is definitely not a normal child. Thus begins Shinichi’s apprenticeship inold-fashioned crime solving. Or, at least, somewhat old-fashioned crimesolving, since the crimes are still being committed using robots.

TheTokyo Metropolitan Police Department is staffed by canon’s Division 1 and a fewother canon cops. Their personalities are also similar, although the fact thattheir skills and contributions are constantly disrespected by the RCD has madeall of them a little bit pricklier, in particular Satou and Megure. Kuroda andMatsumoto are both members of the RCD. Naeko Miike and Yumi Miyamoto both workon the technology support division associated with the RCD.

Ranis an RCD trainee who specializes in karate. Since I am adapting, I am makingthe rules, and Ran knows. She finds out early on, during the adaptation of oneof the canonical suspicion arcs, and the tension in their relationship switchesfrom the canonical reasons to tension over the fact that the two of them wereclose to possibly moving forward into some sort of romance when Shinichi gothimself de-aged, and now things are back to being awkward and unspoken.

Ratherthan being a veteran police officer, Kogoro is an ex-member of the RCD who usedto work closely with Megure. His abrupt departure signaled a downturn in howthe MPD was treated by the RCD and Megure has never really forgiven him.

Mostof Ran and Shinichi’s classmates aren’t named characters, but Hakuba Saguru is attendinganother RCD training program in Ekoda. Hondou Eisuke will eventually transfer in.

Sonokowent to middle school with Ran, but currently attends a prestigious high schoolalong with Kuroba Kaito. She meets up with Ran after school and on weekends.

TheDetective Boys are students at Conan’s school who also start hanging out aroundthe MPD.

Haibarais basically the same as canon, but she also knows a fair amount about neuraluplinks and can provide computer support when necessary.

Agasais responsible for building several different custom mecha for Shinichi, all ofthem tailored to different situations that he might encounter as Conan during acrime.

HattoriHeiji is training for the Osaka equivalent of the RCD.

TheBlack Organization… Honestly, I don’t feel like I have to make a lot of changesthere. We don’t really know what they want in canon, other than to do crimes,and in this setting, they would still want to do crimes, just using differentmethods. Some of their tech would probably be different – like, Gin wouldprobably be a really great pilot with a custom gunner unit instead of a sniper,and Vermouth would use things like holographic masks in her disguises– butthey would basically be the same characters.

WhatI would really want to change is, starting a little bit before Eisuke’s introductionin the timeline, I would wrap up whatever season the show was on, give the nextseason a nifty subtitle, and do everything from the Clash of Red and Black tothe Scarlet Arc primarily from the perspective of the FBI. Imagine Raiha Passwith mechs instead of cars. Imagine the Scarlet Arc version of Raiha pass withmechs instead of cars! It would be a really good way to further establish theworldbuilding by showing the FBI characters, who are older and have moreexperience with using robots as weapons. As the season(s) progressed, thisfocus would expand to Masumi and Amuro as well, further expanding the audience’sview beyond Conan’s limited perspective. It would also be a way to move theplot forward at a bit of a faster clip.

Akaiis the ace pilot (naturally), but Jodie pilots too and Camel’s better atmaneuvering (while Akai’s better overall in a fight). Hidemi’s a decent pilotbut a better infiltrator. Amuro is also an ace pilot because he’s Amuro.Masumi probably joins the RCD training program.

Someof the really notable cases from that period of time that have no connection tothe FBI characters could also be included as OVAs. (If I could get the budgetfor KID OVAs featuring him stealing stuff with his dad’s decade-old custom mech,I’d do it.)

Afterthose seasons focused on the FBI/the general spy shenanigans end, the perspective can return to Conan, (probably with a newsubtitle after the title) and show the effect of the accelerating plot on him,his allies, and the city in general. Depending on when I hypotheticallyreceived this money and what Gosho’s plans are, this arc might carry us up tothe end of the series, or I might get to write my own ending.

Pleasenote that if I get to write my own ending for this kind of DC adaptation, itwill involve Shinichi fighting half of an epic robot battle over a piece ofdefining evidence as Conan, doing himself permanent injury, and then getting atemporary antidote just in time to make it out with the evidence while all ofhis more-skilled friends cover his retreat. The last episode would be about everyone’s lives afterward and would be decidedly bittersweet.

Asmuch as I’d love a Real War, Gundam-style series with Conan characters in it,it wouldn’t be anything like an adaptation. This at least preserves the mysteryelements while adding mecha elements. In practice, it’s probably more similarto Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex than anything. But I still like theconcept.

(drabblesmay eventually happen in this ‘verse)
