Hii OP, recently went back to see your other AU’s and just want to ask if you still have stuff for the Nursery AU? Genuinely my favourite tbhk AU that you made and I have a soft spot for it, thank you kindly!!

( Monster Nursery AU: Part 1)

Thank you! The story is done, but it's been a while, so I can share a tiny bit of extra info.

Akane moves to Teru's nest, because the dragon is extremely attached to his home and Akane's apartment isn't suited for a dragon. He does drag all his belongings into the nest, so it becomes a bit cramped. A lot of things in Teru home is not made for humans either, so Akane has to deal with his wardrobe being put six meters above ground and such.

Akane's hand/wrist never fully heals, some of his fingers are slow to obey his command or unable to fully bend, making holding things challenging, or plain impossible.

They are usually able to chill and get work done, but Teru gets extremely clingy twice a year, the two do not get any work done when it happens. Akane is forced to use his working hand to pet Teru, and inevitably gets dragged to their nest.

Teru accidentally hurts Akane when he gets too excited, is never ever to the level of his crushed wrist, at most a cut since the dragon is hyperaware of how fragile humans are, especially when they get older, but it makes Teru feel guilty regardless.

Teru is more distant after Akane dies, fearing to get attached to something temporary and inevitably grieving again, but he tries to be logical and keep treating humans with respectful professionalism. Unfortunately, despite his best efforts, Teru can't fully hide his animalistic anger when he interacts with the poor guy assigned to replace Akane's position as a supervisor.

Since Teru's lifespan is far longer than that of a human, his wedding ring slowly becomes a rumor in the nursery, for no one knows where it comes from: After 100 years no human that was familiar with Akane will be alive to carry his memory, and Teru doesn't talk about it either. People don't know if this 'Akane' they occasionally hear Teru mention is a monster or a human, it takes a while to even realize Akane is a guy.
