Last one of the day and guys. We’ve reached the gold mine.

I’ve been doing this re-read of the HP books specifically focusing on the marauders, and after voldemort’s latest rant about blood donations, Remus. By her own accord, he is coded about HIV positive people in the 90’s, and the stigma they faced.

Which. For someone as her. Means stereotypes. Which means and HIV positive man in the 90’s is queer coded.

I’ve been reading this book specially carefully not to miss anything, and other than the constant remarks about him being being poor, looking ill and missing classes due to his illness, there wasn’t much to suggest lgbt coding. Certainly not to the point where the director of the movie instructed the actor that played him that his character is gay. That is. Until now.

BUT FIRST let’s recap all the interesting bits of chapter 12.

Remus is, as he promised Harry, teaching him to handle dementors so that he stops fainting on sight. On top of that, he found it was a good idea to disclose he is listening to his mother’s death when he does, as that is his worst memory.

Now, that is a very sensitive topic for Remus, due to the friendship he shared with Harry’s parents.

And it doesn’t really get any better when Harry starts listening to his dead father either. Because this is a very emotional situation to Remus, he cracks. For the first time. And reveals a very important information: he and James were friends.

Now knowing that his teacher was friends with his father, Harry feels a lot more comfortable to make conversation with him. And so this follows:

Ouch. I know. But remember where I said it gets interesting re queer-coding?

Remus gets super defensive towards the idea he knows Sirius…. Until Harry clarifies that he means friendship only.

Don’t get me wrong. He is still unwilling to talk about the topic, and ends the conversation right afterward. But the fact he visibly relaxes once Harry clarifies he means friendship is very interesting.

Who relaxes when someone implies that they were friends with a mass murderer? Let alone the child whose parents were killed by said murderer? Someone that has something deeper to hide, of course.

At any case, Harry leaves. And the next time they meet, there’s some cute bonding:

And then, seeing as they’re both comfortable, Harry asks him what is under a dementor’s hood, which prompts the following explanation:

Harry would be satisfied by this. It perfectly answers his question. But Remus, perhaps too comfortable with interacting with Harry by now, shares this.

Harry wants Sirius dead because he is 13 and angry and didn’t really consider or know what he was proposing. Either way, it is a valid answer from someone whose parents were murdered by the person in question.

Remus too spent the last 12 years completely alone and in poverty over what he believes are Sirius’ actions. And yet, he clearly doesn’t agree that level of punishment is warranted. Even when it is being said by the son of the people he supposedly killed.

I think I know why you’re fine with Harry thinking all you felt towards Sirius was friendship, Moons. My question is… is it mutual? Stay tuned for more.

I’ve read the rules! o7

Sai i need to know. Did he even read the book angel gave them. I know he wasn’t reading it when angel texted them if we chose to not invite him over but did he read even the few pages they looked at

or was he just… buying time to think of things/wanted to look like he was interested in the book when they really weren’t

TRUST ME this is VERY important knowledge and no matter what you say i will only like him more 🫶

✦゜ANSWERED: He did not T_T lmaooooo

Realistically, he probably put it back on the shelf the moment Elanor arrived ^^; Part of me wants to say that he hid it somewhere amongst the shelves (because Angel touched this book... Their hands and eyes graced the cover... No one else deserves the luxury of touching it as well...), but I think he'd be too overwhelmed with Angel finally noticing him to give it much thought.

Ren had no interest in reading the book either, but he did pick a "flora" theme for a very specific reason — as opposed to stalling/trying to buy time..... >:3c

Without spoiling too much, it's the same reason why he sometimes comes across as clumsy (with his words) during conversations, talks a lot about AoG, lives in a stupidly expensive and gaudy apartment, stole another person's nickname and made it his own, sometimes comes across as pushy, mimicked another character's exact line, gave Angel a high-end luxury gift, and why the "X I V" clips in his hair correlate to specific letters in the— *I am forcefully removed from the stage*

#Fish fear me because da ''XIV = 14'' post was nothing but a red herring lmao #But seeing how there's more in-game content released; I can reveal a few more hints hehe #To be fair though; this is more-so just silly blog shenanigans and these secrets genuinely have no real impact on the storyline #So please don't think that there's going to be a ton of hidden clues you need to figure out in order to fully experience the game #14DWY is a storytelling experience first and an i-spy game second lmao /gen /silly #💌 — answered.#💖 — 14 days with queue.#vivivav #💖 — about ren.#💜 — canon.

watched the first ep of Dead Boy Detectives today, did anyone also think the dialogue was a bit clunky?

I don't mean it was unwatchable or anything i just feel like it didn't feel realistic the way they introduced the characters and world... It felt like the dialogue was for the viewer instead of an in character thing. We were gonna be introduced to a viewer surrogate within the first few minutes, there was no need to have the characters who already know how the show's world works spell it out for nobody... and then explain it again when Crystal showed up? idk it felt like something I would write (not a complient) 😅

#the line ''we have to hide from death... or she'll get us'' was ridiculous #do you think the boy that's been escaping death since 1919 or whatever doesn't know?!#''we have to hide'' was enough the viewer can put 2 and 2 together and deduce it's bad if death sees them #to then minnutes later have them explain to crystal why they have to hide from death again...#just let the characters adress the camera if you wanna spell it out so easily #or you know... trust that the viewer is intelligent enough to wait 2 minutes for an explanation?#it was mostly just that first few mins of the first ep i think #i didn't pick up on anything else that trully bothered me #but idk it felt condecending dkjfghkdfg or simply badly written #which it was a bit of a let down to have it as a very first impression #i guess i went in thinking sandman and got like idk generic teen show #in the dialogue alone btw i actually really like the characters and the premise is awesome!#it just cuaght me by surprise #maybe it because i'm also watching fallout and the dialogue on that is like very well done and everything is a hint for something later #so i'm comparing it idk #anyways... is it just me? or was it actually clunky?#(don't spoil it past ep 1 pls)#angel talks #dead boy detectives #really liking it so far tho!

got tired of not having cover art for my chiluc playlist :P

open for better quality | no reposts | ID under the cut

[Image description: A drawing of Diluc and Childe surrounded by swirling flames. Diluc looks over his shoulder to gaze at the viewer. He rests his hand on the hilt of his Wolf’s Gravestone, which is positioned in front of Childe. Childe’s face is partially hidden by Diluc, and he gazes down at the viewer with a smirk. He holds one of his hydro blades such that the hilt is behind Diluc’s neck and the blade faces upwards. It is angled down and in front of Diluc’s shoulder. Childe’s other hand is placed on Diluc’s waist. The pair are lit from below, and glowing sparks fly around them.]

#childe #tartaglia #diluc #chiluc #genshin impact #genshin #fanart #myart #doodle #nonstop chiluc ideas for the past few days but i promise i'm taking breaks when drawing #my discord friends were probably wondering why i was just having songs on loop for hours #this is why ^#my chiluc friend saw the playlist when i first made it and was like: you have a thing for fire imagery huh #and they are Correct u_u #i wonder if that hints at the vibes of the playlist #there are a couple of softer songs but those are near the end haha

oh i knew i wasn't gonna be disappointing looking into these answers

#isat spoilers #it's so. like.#i had this tiny thought during the first few hours of like 'oh. is the king . . . Siffrin? another Siffrin? cause of time stuff?'#and pretty much throughout the whole thing my brain was sort of running on that theory #the fact that the game ended up going 'NO IDIOT. IT'S LOOP. LOOP IS A VERSION OF SIFFRIN.'#and the fact that all the hints were things i missed because of these convos i wasn't always checking? made me go insane. fucking crazy.#anyways uhhhhhhh i knew i had to try to look up what the different answers to this specific convo lead you to. i'm going fucking crazy.

oh nooo that's quite a bummer :( but i'm very glad that i helped brightening up your day :") tbh your writing brightens up my day too (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

AND WAIT I'VE BEEN ACTUALLY QUITE THINKING ABOUT WHETHER ZOMBIE MOB HAS FOUGHT OFF A ZOMBIE WHEN I ASKED IF HE HAS EVER BITTEN SOMEONE and since you brought it up, well, would be okay to ask about the details of how it went 👁️👁️ (also him fighting off a fellow zombie to protect tome got me sobbing)

- 🪻

aww im glad my silly little words brighten ur day!! ur so sweet :]

and yes, it went horribly <3! tome prolly wasn't paying attention as closely as she should've been and got herself surrounded by a crowd. to be clear, that's not Always dangerous, since zombies arent like,, after ur brains in this constantly. but these zombies did look quite hungry, and human or not, she looked like a good meal,,

she had wandered off a bit from mob n ritsu, but mob heard the commotion first. tome has a big fucking baseball bat in this au that she likes to swing around, but a baseball bat can only get u so far in terms of self defense. she thins the horde but there's simply too many of them

mob lets exactly One zombie grab her and yank her toward them before he goes ballistic

watching zombies fight is a lot closer to watching wild animals fight than anything else, and it gets quite horrid sometimes. since their bites aren't rly "dangerous" to each other beyond the typical Oh No a Chunk of Flesh is Gone (not even painful for them, since their nerves r.. less than functional), the fight is a lot more close up and gruesome than a fight against a zombie and a human would be. humans usually back away from zombies immediately and try not to touch them at all in fear of getting bitten; zombies don't need to care abt that

most of the horde realizes that this meal isn't going to be easy and they wander off, but a few more hungry, more desperate ones try to rip into mob's throat at the first sign of defiance. it's not exactly a fair fight; it's like 1 against 4, so he's sorta bound to lose

thankfully ritsu shows up and shoots two of them down (he's Terrified of shooting mob by accident, but either way he'll probably die, so) and tome gets the last one with a good swing to the head. ritsu rushes to mob and is horrified by the amount of blood dripping from his neck and his arm; tome is equally as shocked, but she's mostly thinking, "ive Never seen a zombie defend a human before"

mob's neck is thankfully mostly just scraped up and clawed, but there Is some gruesome punctures where canines sank in and tugged. it's a lot worse along his arm that's bitten and gouged beyond belief. he loses a lot of blood here, but the whole nerves-no-longer-work thing is a blessing in disguise atm; he'd be in a lot of pain otherwise. while ritsu and tome are patching him up w shaky hands he simply glares beyond their shoulders like he thinks he's still in danger, even when they tighten the bandages. it's like he barely notices what they’re doing

his strangely alert behavior makes them think abt the possibility that maybe mob Knows he could've easily been shredded apart there, and he's a little scared and worked up abt it. the only reason he managed to fight as long as he did without dying is prolly bc the other zombies weren't as well-fed as mob—they were kinda weak and shaky from days of no food, but mob has humans taking care of him and keeping him fed 24/7

they're all shaken up by it pretty good.. tome is still reeling from the fact that mob defended her so valiantly, and ritsu is quietly horrified by the idea of another zombie killing mob instead of a human. he doesn't know which is worse

#qktalks #anon #zombie au #this isn't the first time ritsu has had to kill a zombie btw ^#this is just the first time he's had to kill one since he started seeing zombies in a different light #it was either letting his brother die or killing a zombie. ritsu's upset that he had to make that decision at all #but he's not afraid to say that the decision was incredibly easy to make #it sucks that he had to kill one but . for mob ? literally anything goes #ritsu checked tome over after they took care of mob too. tome's very surprised when he's rly gentle abt it #ritsu's been known to .. lose his head a little in moments of stress #and sometimes he snaps at tome bc of it. he never means to he's just..worked up #but this time he's kinda fretting over her and it opens her eyes a little bit #ritsu has indeed grown to care abt tome a lot. they bicker Most of the time but it's usually not very serious #in all the excitement tome just hadn't rly realized that until now. ritsu is so high-strung that it's hard to get a read on his softer side #but now he's not just directing his softer side to his brother‚ but to tome as well #i have 15 more tags to explain smth i wanna make clear btw let's hope i don't start rambling abt smth else entirely #so i've been using a lot of vocabulary in these au posts that hint toward mob being ''special'' or ''abnormal'' in his behavior #he is not special or abnormal in any way #Every zombie is like that. every zombie has a personality‚ and a gentler demeanor hidden behind that desperate starvation #and remnants of their past selves in there somewhere #mob is simply one of the only zombies that have been taken in and cared for and treated like a sick person rather than a monster #as i've said before most people just.. either run away or shoot them between the eyes when crossing paths with a zombie #they don't give any of them a Chance. mob is a very very lucky zombie.#he is healthier than most other zombies and he is treated far better #and the way ritsu constantly talks to him is actually great for his health ! gets those rusty gears in his head rollin #exercises that brain‚ even if‚ to ritsu‚ he's only responding in odd gibberish #that's only one of the things ritsu gives him that other zombies never receive in their lifetimes #i'd say mob prolly ? has one of the longest ''zombie lifespans''#most zombies either die of starvation‚ dehydration‚ or sleep deprivation within a few weeks #he's lived a long zombie life !

The idea of romantic chiluc is great honestly but qpr chiluc hits different. Having such a unique relationship dynamic only they understand,,,

They both learn to understand each other. Move past the titles and the names they've known each other as. It's no longer Tartaglia the tsaritsas vanguard but just Ajax. And it's no longer Diluc Ragnvindr of Mondstadt, just Diluc.

They don't have the same pressure when they're with each other because there's that understanding they have. They're both 'different' both been through a lot, but they care for each other.

Maybe the care looks different to everyone else, more romantic than intended but as long as they understand it doesn't matter. Because no one but then need to understand

#zara rambles #chiluc #qpr chiluc #i dont have much yo say about this post tbh sjdjd #ive just been thinking about them #ive been dying to write more but its the last few weeks of school meaning everything is due these next few weeks 😔#if you're still reading next fanfic will probably be about how they meet. its hinted in the first fanfic but it goes more in depth #but it will probably come after fatui chiluc 👀#i aim to get that one out yhis weekend if i can #also its midnight im very tired so idk if this actually makes sense

The Fight

Trying to pick up the pace a little bit, but I'm not very good at writing action so this might be a bit clunky. Please excuse me.

Mountain's Peak (Part 1)

Nepal Sanctum (Part 2)

Talk it out (Part 3)

In which we let it all out

Ramattra found his brother exactly where he expected to; Tucked away on the highest roof top of the Monastery's temples, an old withered place few monks visited simply for the egregious amount of single wide stairs clearly poorly placed by the original builders.

"Brother Mondatta is looking for you," Ramattra spoke with no worry of startling his brother, positive Zenyatta had already sensed his approach at least three levels down. The fact that he hadn't run was a good sign.

"He can look a while longer.." Zenyatta replied, relaxing from his curled up position to allow his legs to dangle over the edge of the building.

Ramattra sat himself down beside his brother, taking a moment to appreciate the view. The sun was setting, stars had started to dot the soft pink sky. From this high up, one could truly see on into forever if they desired to.

"You hit the human..." Ramattra finally pressed, giving a glance to Zenyatta, who curled back in on himself slightly.

"I did."

"You said you would only use what I taught you in self defense."

"I did not use what you taught me, dear brother. I used my fist."

Ramattra couldn't help the slight chuckle hearing his elder defend himself so sharply released. If he could still shoot back, then he couldn't be all that tore up about what he'd done.

"Mondatta will expect an apology when we finally return."

"I did nothing to him." Zenyatta once again uncurled himself, his legs once more dangling over the building's edge as he relaxed into the flow of conversation with Ramattra.

"To the human, Brother."

Zenyatta released a loud, dramatic sigh noise, clunking his head into Ramattra's shoulder. "I would rather be placed on cattle clean up for the next 7 years."

Ramattra chuckled once again, "And I would love to assist you with such chores, but that is not Mondatta's way."

"No... I suppose not..." Zenyatta's voice softened as he once more pulled his knee to his chest, placing a hand on the ground next to Ramattra for balance.

Ramattra found his hand placed gently over his brother's, keeping his sensors locked to the stars as he leaned his head atop Zenyatta's.

With the sunrise the brothers would make their way back down to the village, they'd catch Master Mondatta on his way back from his morning meditation, when the monastery is silent and the human is still asleep. Zenyatta would give his apology, and be given laundry duty in return, with Ramattra would happily assist with despite Mondatta's preaching on how one must face their misdoings on their own.

That would all come tomorrow. For tonight, the two sat peacefully on the temple roof top, hands intertwined in a painfully human way, counting stars until the sun arose the next morning.

That stare made everyone in the monastery uncomfortable. Bright red eyes that only ever saw the monks as who they were, what they had been made for, how they'd failed or succeeded at a task that had been forced upon them.

It was sickening.

Across from Zenyatta stood the human, shouldering off thick layers of cloth and robes and scarves until only one remained, tied tightly off at his waist by a cream orange cincture belt. He then removed the thick, straw woven snow boots Mondatta had made for him, stepping bare foot into the chalk drawn circle of the training area, holding his hands up in a ready pose.

He'd kept his eyes locked on Zenyatta, not in a glare of malice, or even his usual annoying fascination, but a neutral look that challenged him without words.

Ramattra's hand grabbed tightly to the back on Zenyatta's upper robe. He was shaking. He was going to stop this.

Zenyatta shoulder off his brother's grasp and the robe along with it, leaving him in only his pants and the red cloth he'd kept tied around his waist.

Stepping into the ring, Zenyatta stood wide and placed his palm against the human's, keeping their gaze locked.

"If you win, I'll leave. Permanently. And I'll tell every human I meet they're not welcome here." Emile spoke evenly, despite the rapid pulse Zenyatta could feel coming from their freezing fleshy hand.

He tilted his head in amusement, "And what will you get if you happen to win?"

This was the sort of confrontation that would usually draw this particular human to tears, so it was quiet the shock to see him hold together while speaking. "You can decide that when it happens."

'When' Zenyatta thought on, wrapping his fingers around the human's small hand. It was cold, and soft, and easily crushable in even the flimsiest of Omnic hands.

"Usually a match is called when one is forced from the ring, but that feels a touch too easy, wouldn't you agree?" The human nodded along with Zenyatta's proposal, "So we keep going until one of us taps, agreed?"

Zenyatta watch the human give a small nod once more

And then kicked them as hard as he could right in the stomach

Emile flew out of the ring, scratching to a stop along the stone flooring. He hacked and coughed, gripping onto his stomach. If he'd eaten anything for the past few days he surly would have hurled it up.

"Get up." Zenyatta spoke from the ring. The human did as commanded, pulling himself up on shaky legs. He did not glare at Zenyatta for landing the first blow, he did not look on in fear for how much stronger his opponent was, he did not bask in awe at how mighty a kick it was. He kept his neutral expression.

And that pissed Zenyatta off worse than anything else.

Blow after blow, the human continued to get back up. Even after he'd started spitting up blood. Even after his glasses were shattered on the stone ground, rendering him near blind. Even after he'd stopped being able to feet his fingers in toes in the cold and after his arm stopped moving and after his ankle had made such a horrible crack and swollen to the size of an orange.

And even after Zenyatta still stood perfectly pristine.

Emile hadn't landed a blow on his opponent. Zenyatta was starting to doubt he was even trying to. Had he even raised his hand once to the monk? Had all he done was stand there and take Zenyatta's blows?

Zenyatta clenched his fists, "Get Up." He demanded, as he had over and over again, to the human laying still on the stone before him. "Get Up and Hit Me."

Emile's form shook as he pushed himself up with only one arm, his white hair dangling before his face, tips red from his own blood. As commanded he got up on shaky legs once more and looked to Zenyatta with those red eyes that pierced into his history, a history he'd been trying so hard to ignore, to hide and run away from.

"Get up." Zenyatta demanded again after landing a hard hit right into the human's nose. It was broken for sure.

Emile did as commanded.

"Brother, that is enough-" Ramattra reached to grab Zenyatta, to put an end to this, but stopped inches away.

"It's not enough..."

The human's voice was ragged, breathless and broken and shaking. He sounded on the brink of death.. He very well might have been.

"It's not... enough...."

Blood mixed with tears down Emile's face, big wet eyes stared at Zenyatta, making the Omnic hesitate.

Ramattra wouldn't dare touch a human, but he made a motion like he was going to either way, "Human you cannot take much more, please just call it-"

"I CAN'T." Emile's voice cracked, he coughed, and took a step just to keep himself from collapsing, "I can't... it's not... enough... yet...."

The human but his hand on his wrist, and Zenyatta found himself mimicking the motion. His finger tips touched delicately at his exposed arm wire, one of many fragile pieces of himself he'd been forced to show to the world after nearly loosing his life before coming here.

He could still feel the human's cold finger tips on it...

"it's not... enough... to... ma...ke up.. for what... i..."

His body was too heavy, everything hurt, and the world was spinning.. In his last few moments of consciousness Emile braced himself for one more cold embrace from the stone steps of the battle field..

And instead found warmth...

#Emile's Writing #In which Zenyatta beats me the fuck up #Ramyatta #In the first half at least... Hinted at any way #That's the INTENTION any way they do have feelings for one another but aren't.

ruby has completely lost hope and her faith in herself has been obliterated. and she’s never liked herself (<- “you don’t give yourself enough credit”)

narratively speaking, she’s in the ever after to heal. to regain her hope and faith and learn how to value herself

we’re halfway through the volume.

halfway through, there has been zero narrative development towards systemic reform in the ever after but a lot of ruby being both confronted with her self-hatred and rescued or comforted by denizens of the ever after (little/the cat) when she’s overwhelmed or in danger

narratively, the ever after 1. does not need or want to be saved and 2. is guiding ruby through the changing she needs

so if the ever after is a wolf in sheep’s clothing—if this is a sinister, malicious, saccharine dystopia ruled with iron claws by the tyrannical cat using mind control to enforce everyone’s roles or ‘keep the story on track’…

…then ruby heals by becoming cynical. by learning that she was right to resist the ever after’s call to change and there’s no point trying to make anything better so she might as well just put herself first because every world is rotten at the foundations. right? we’re halfway through the volume without the slightest narrative motion towards revolution, so she can’t heal by saving this world, and if the ever after is bad then its embrace of change is tainted; the ideology of ozpin’s cult that change is bad, changing the world is what the enemy wants, is reified as the innate truth of the world.

but obviously that’s not going to happen lol ruby is here to find her way back to idealism and change is not the enemy

ergo the ever after isn’t sinister. like, narratively, it can’t be—it has to be earnest and kind, underneath all the strangeness.

#rwby v9 spoilers #like compare how the narrative #spent 5 volumes dropping loud hints #and then SLAMMED ‘full blown fascist police state’ into your face in the first few minutes of V7 #and then V7 is the girls trying to #haul ironwood out of the fascism ball pit #if the ever after needed saving #they would already be trying to save it

*(A new blue figure pops into view. It's just his head though.)* "Dear Tristan, I understand that there's many complications to your relationship with Blue. Whenever you're ready darling please do tell us what happened. Perhaps we could be of great assistance to you! Please take your time. I know with situations like these it takes much healing and courage. Take care." ~ Parfait ♥ P.S: I'll bake some cookies later ^_^ Do you like sugar cookies or chocolate?

[Tristan]: Alright.... I’ll tell you.... all of you. It’s the least I can do after the way I acted.

[Tristan]: I was... admittedly very excited about being an older brother, as was Equol being an older sibling.

[Tristan]: We taught them everything we knew.

Showing them around paradise, Use Treeangle magic with our supervision, Combating corrupted shapes....

[Tristan]: Ah... Although that last part was more just me. Equol didn’t want to be apart of that...

<<Next>>

<<Prev>>

#jsab #blue #equol #tristan #Im gonna be splitting this into parts because of how many panels i need to make #BUT I THINK THIS FIRST PART HAS A FEW HINTS ALREADY AS TO WHAT HAPPENED

Eyy here's another little bit I wrote to kind of flesh out the between stage when I was trying to figure out who Gojo and Yuuji would be in 2023.

ao3 user dickidsjnl left a nice review wanting to see more about this period of their lives so I thought I'd go ahead and post it here 🥰🥰🙏🙏

Disclaimer, it is just as rough as the previous little snippet but here you go. 🪦

Yuuji comes back to him in a rush of blood and torn flesh, the Prison Realm ripped wide open around him. He spills to the ground, lies motionless in the gore and rotted corpses like something stillborn for a moment that stretches endlessly, infinite.

Gojo can't make himself move, can't breathe. His heart doesn't beat. He is too late, and the reality of an existence without Yuuji unmakes him, severs his last tenuous ties to sanity. If this is the end he will take the world with him.

And then the sensations - the lights and the sounds and the reality of a whole wide world around him again and all at once - assault vulnerable senses and Yuuji sucks in a wet, choked breath and begins to scream.

Gojo drops to his knees beside him, hands hovering and mind static. He's never hesitated to touch Yuuji before but now he can't move, terrified to make whatever is happening worse. Brown eyes stare blindly up at him, shaking hands a shield between them. There's blood on Yuuji's face.

To his Six Eyes, Yuuji is a black-green miasma of foreign cursed energy, hateful and dark. He's overflowing, a tempest in a teapot, porcelain cracking under the pressure. In moments all of that energy will explode outwards with a devastating force and shatter its vessel with it.

He won't let that happen. Yuuji is returned to him. Gojo will not allow him to be taken again.

Hesitation forgotten, he gathers Yuuji into his arms and between one breath and the next they're in the sky, far over the school where nothing and no one can touch them. The air is biting cold and Yuuji clings to him and wails, overwhelmed by the sensation after such a long deprivation.

"I'm here now Yuuji," he says, voice slow and firm. "I'm here but you have to let go of the curses." Yuuji shakes his head, face hidden in Gojo's shoulder, but he’s hearing him. He's reacting to him. "Let go, Yuuji. I'm here. Just let them go. It will be okay."

He presses his lips to Yuuji’s head and closes his eyes, tries to visualize feeding Yuuji his cursed energy, imagines filling Yuuji from his toes to the ends of his hair. This is the way things are meant to be.

"Let go of it Yuuji. Let me in."

Yuuji tears the lid off of the teapot.

The cursed energy engulfs them immediately, a howling maelstrom, violent. It’s tangible enough for Gojo to feel it, to recognize the curses Yuuji had stolen it from. Patchface. Mt. Fuji-Head. Kenjaku itself.

Gojo killed them, each and every one, but they've lingered, tormenting Yuuji in his isolation for months that formed years in the same way malignant cells metastasize into cancer.

Yuuji’s tears are hot on his skin, his lips open against his throat. His cries are beginning to curve around the edges, trying to shape Gojo’s name.

All this time, Gojo has been burning, a being of rage, incandescent. The anger is deeper than his bones, molten where his marrow should be, the kind of all-consuming fury that leaves behind only ash, only madness. A devastating wildfire with a single purpose.

His cursed energy flares around him, incinerates every remaining trace of the malignant curses and then roves further, seeking any hint of a threat, any signs of life nearby. Nobody will threaten Yuuji, not ever again.

Gojo will wipe out every sentient being on the planet to keep Yuuji from harm..

His power is just beginning to brush against others, far below, when Yuuji’s voice brings him abruptly back to himself. Clarity returns in a single, decisive blow that leaves him disoriented for a moment. Yuuji says his name again.

“I’m here,” Gojo says, and it’s a reminder to himself as much as it is to Yuuji. He’s here, and Yuuji’s here. They’re together again. The people in the school beneath him helped him to save Yuuji. Those that stood against him are already long dead, no corpses left to rot. There is no threat left.

“...hurts,” Yuuji tells him, his voice small. “‘s too much.”

Gojo hums softly, more a vibration in his chest than any real sound, and adjusts the barrier of Infinity around them, warps reality until even sound waves can’t reach them. The howl of the wind dies away, leaves them in a bubble of perfect, still silence. The only sound is Yuuji’s wet, uneven breathing and the thunk thunk of their twin heartbeats.

He can hear Yuuji’s heartbeat. Nothing has ever been more beautiful.

They stay like that for a long, long time, Yuuji trembling in Gojo’s arms, gradually steadying his breathing to match Gojo’s carefully controlled breaths. He strokes his hand over Yuuji’s broad back in slow, firm strokes, feels the heat of him, the shift of powerful muscle under dirty fabric. He’s so solid, and Gojo can’t stop touching him, wouldn’t be able to if his life depended on it. He will never be able to stop touching Yuuji again.

Eventually, Yuuji lifts his head. He’s more aware now when he meets Gojo’s gaze, his eyes hazy but present. There are gouges on his face, harsh wounds at the corner of his mouth and over his brow. They’re deep, their edges ragged tears, and blood spills from them in sluggish sheets to mingle with his tears and paint his face in scarlet smears like a grotesque mask.

He is the most incredible thing Gojo has seen in all his life. He is beautiful, perfect; he is real.

“Tell me what you need,” Gojo says, voice whisper soft.

Yuuji’s lip trembles. He licks at it, doesn’t seem to notice the taste of his own blood.

“Take me home? Wanna go home.”

“Okay,” Gojo says quietly. “Okay.” He curls his hand around the back of Yuuji’s head, gently guides him forward to tuck him against Gojo’s chest again, against his heart.

He takes Yuuji home.

#so there you have it #a sort of hint of how absolutely bonkers gojo got for a bit there #and what yuuji was like when he first came back to us #shoko was the one to eventually convince them that yuuji needed therapy so 2023 yuuji is much mkre grounded #and has learned to work around the new wounds his time in the realm left on him #but those first few minutes hours days months were...rough #for everyone #ltlyc #ltlyc extras #goyuu #gojo x itadori
